Luigi Pirandello e Miguel de Unamuno: fra “identità” e “creazione del personaggio”

Ritengo che manchi uno studio sistematico sui due temi indicati nel titolo: quello dell'identità, ovvero dell'esistenza, e quello della creazione del personaggio, ovvero dello scrivere, condotto dal punto di vista più filosofico; un punto di vista imprescindibile per la migliore comprensione degli stessi. Ed è uno studio che considererà: Il fu Mattia Pascal di Pirandello; Niebla e Como se hace una novela (finora credo mai considerata) di Unamuno.Ritengo che manchi uno studio sistematico sui due temi indicati nel titolo: quello dell'identità, ovvero dell'esistenza, e quello della creazione del personaggio, ovvero dello scrivere, condotto dal punto di vista più filosofico; un punto di vista imprescindibile per la migliore comprensione degli stessi.

Para un estudio sobre un inédito de Miguel de Unamuno: "El progreso social"

[ES] El artículo es un primer acercamiento al estudio del inédito de Unamuno "El progreso social». En él se ,ponen de relieve los temas positivistas que caracterizan su primera etapa intelectual; en particular, la relación ciudad/campo, naturaleza/pensamiento, socialismo/progreso, individuo/persona. Todo ello por medio de una razón dialógica.[EN] The article is a former study on an unpublished work by Unamuno "El progreso social». In this article his former intellectual studies based os positivist themes are underlined with particular attention to the relation ship between city and countryside, natural attitudes and thought, socialism and development, social being and person. The entire analisys is brought about and developed through a dialogic way

“La novela de la tierra” de Giovanni Verga y Paz en la guerra de Miguel de Unamuno

This study aims to highlight some elements such as: the rural novel in Giovanni Verga and the relation between land and national character in Unamuno’s En torno al Casticismo on Castile and Castilian men. Special attention will be put to intrahistory in the works of the two authors and how a relation may be set up between Vergas’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Unamuno’s characters Augusto Pérez and Abel Sánchez, which, on the one hand, reveal epic names (Augusto and Abel) and on the other hand, the ordinary and common surnames (Pérez and Sánchez), showing thus that we are all partly epic heroes and partly common human beings. Moreover, there is another element that makes Unamuno —in his first intellectual period (1884-1897)— very similar to Verga: Ruralism. Paz en la Guerra deals with Bilbao, but Unamuno highlights the popular aspect of the city. The main characters, Pedro Antonio and Ignacia, come from the fields. Their son Ignacio spends a lot of time in the country, where lives his uncle, a country priest. In all these aspects, the rural Biscay has many things in common with the Sicily of I Malavoglia.Este estudio quiere poner de relieve elementos como: la novela de la tierra de Verga y la relación tierra-carácter nacional en En torno al casticismo (1895) de Unamuno, con su Castilla y el hombre castellano. Lo intrahistórico que hay en las obras de los dos autores, y cómo Cavalleria Rusticana se puede poner en relación con Augusto Pérez, Abel Sánchez; es decir, por una parte los nombres épicos y por otra el apellido cotidiano y corriente: Pérez y Sánchez, con lo cual todos somos a la vez héroes épicos y parte de la masa humana. Hay además otro aspecto que hace del Unamuno de la primera etapa intelectual (1884-1897) muy afín a Verga: el ruralismo. Paz en la guerra habla de Bilbao, pero Unamuno acentúa el aspecto de pueblo que tiene la ciudad. Los personajes principales: Pedro Antonio e Ignacia provienen del campo; sus hijo Ignacio pasa una larga temporada en el campo, donde vive su tío: un sacerdote campesino. En todos estos aspectos la Vizcaya rural tiene analogías con la Sicilia de I Malavoglia

Discriminating randomness from chaos with application to a weather time series

A new method is presented which permits one to discriminate low-dimensional chaos from randomness. The method consists in fitting autoregressive processes to the data and forecasting future values of the system on the basis of the model selected. We distinguish between 2 possible forecasting techniques of a dynamical system given by experimental series of observations. The "global autoregressive approximation" views the observations as a realization of a stochastic process, whereas the "local autoregressive approximation" views the observations as the realizations of a truly deterministic process. A proper comparison between the predictive skills of the 2 techniques allows us to gain insight into distinguishing low-dimensional chaos from randomness. The procedure has been applied to a daily temperature time series recorded in Trieste (Italy) over the past 40 years (1950–1989). The analysis gives no evidence for low-dimensional chaos, the dynamics being compatible with a limit cycle blurred by red noise. DOI: 10.1034/j.1600-0870.1994.t01-2-00005.

On the Virtualization of CUDA Based GPU Remoting on ARM and X86 Machines in the GVirtuS Framework

The astonishing development of diverse and different hardware platforms is twofold: on one side, the challenge for the exascale performance for big data processing and management; on the other side, the mobile and embedded devices for data collection and human machine interaction. This drove to a highly hierarchical evolution of programming models. GVirtuS is the general virtualization system developed in 2009 and firstly introduced in 2010 enabling a completely transparent layer among GPUs and VMs. This paper shows the latest achievements and developments of GVirtuS, now supporting CUDA 6.5, memory management and scheduling. Thanks to the new and improved remoting capabilities, GVirtus now enables GPU sharing among physical and virtual machines based on x86 and ARM CPUs on local workstations, computing clusters and distributed cloud appliances

CKD Prevalence Varies across the European General Population

CKD prevalence estimation is central to CKD management and prevention planning at the population level. This study estimated CKD prevalence in the European adult general population and investigated international variation in CKD prevalence by age, sex, and presence of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. We collected data from 19 general-population studies from 13 European countries. CKD stages 1-5 was defined as eGFR 30 mg/g, and CKD stages 3-5 was defined as eGFR</p
