Sicurezza del Trasporto Aereo
by Carlo Cacciabue Italo Oddone Ivan RizzoloIl testo si propone di far acquisire al lettore le conoscenze delle metodologie e teorie di base per effettuare delle analisi di sicurezza e valutazione del rischio in diversi ambienti aeronautici, in un quadro di "Safety Management System". Vengono analizzati e descritti in dettaglio i metodi per effettuare studi prospettici di sicurezza di tipo probabilistico e per analisi quantitativa dei rischi associati a diversi pericoli nelle operazioni di volo, nella gestione delle operazioni di terra e nei processi manutentivi. Sono quindi presentate le metodologie formali per studi retrospettivi delle occorrenze ed incidenti, orientate alla ricerca delle cause ed alla definizione di raccomandazioni di sicurezza. Le teorie sono inquadrate in un approccio sistemico, che prevede la valutazione integrata qualitativa e quantitativa dei rischi derivanti dai guasti meccanici e da fattori umani. Il testo è stato aggiornato sia sotto il profilo metodologico e tecnico, includendo i metodi più recenti sviluppati ed applicati in analisi di sicurezza reali, sia per dare al lettore una panoramica esaustiva del panorama normativo aeronautico di sicurezza con un intero capitolo dedicato alle novità derivanti per gli aeroporti, con il Reg. UE n.139/14, e per gli operatori aerei, con il Reg.EU 965/12, che hanno cambiato profondamente la sicurezza ed l’approccio ad essa negli operatori di servizi aerei europei. Una serie di esempi semplici e casi studio vengono associati alle diverse teorie e metodi presentati nel testo.

Tennyson’s Poems: New Textual Parallels
by R. H. WinnickIn Tennyson’s Poems: New Textual Parallels, R. H. Winnick identifies more than a thousand previously unknown instances in which Tennyson phrases of two or three to as many as several words are similar or identical to those occurring in prior works by other hands—discoveries aided by the proliferation of digitized texts and the related development of powerful search tools over the three decades since the most recent major edition of Tennyson’s poems was published. Each of these instances may be deemed an allusion (meant to be recognized as such and pointing, for definable purposes, to a particular antecedent text), an echo (conscious or not, deliberate or not, meant to be noticed or not, meaningful or not), or merely accidental. Unless accidental, Winnick writes, these new textual parallels significantly expand our knowledge both of Tennyson’s reading and of his thematic intentions and artistic technique. Coupled with the thousand-plus textual parallels previously reported by Christopher Ricks and other scholars, he says, they suggest that a fundamental and lifelong aspect of Tennyson’s art was his habit of echoing any work, ancient or modern, which had the potential to enhance the resonance or deepen the meaning of his poems. The new textual parallels Winnick has identified point most often to the King James Bible, and to such canonical authors as Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Thomson, Cowper, Shelley, Byron, and Wordsworth. But they also point to many authors rarely if ever previously cited in Tennyson editions and studies, including Michael Drayton, Richard Blackmore, Isaac Watts, Erasmus Darwin, John Ogilvie, Anna Lætitia Barbauld, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, John Wilson, and—with surprising frequency—Felicia Hemans. Tennyson’s Poems: New Textual Parallels is thus a major new resource for Tennyson scholars and students, an indispensable adjunct to the 1987 edition of Tennyson’s complete poems edited by Christopher Ricks.
Esercizi scelti di Algebra: Volume 1 - Aritmetica (UNITEXT #107)
by Rocco Chirivì Ilaria Del Corso Roberto DvornicichQuesto libro – secondo di due volumi – presenta circa 350 esercizi scelti di algebra ricavati dai compiti d'esame dei corsi di Strutture Algebriche e Algebra I tenuti dagli autori all'Università di Pisa. Ogni esercizio viene presentato con una o più soluzioni accuratamente redatte con linguaggio e notazioni uniformi. Caratteristica distintiva del libro è che gli esercizi proposti sono tutti diversi uno dall'altro e le soluzioni richiedono sempre una piccola idea originale; ciò rende il libro unico nel genere. Gli argomenti di questo secondo volume sono: la teoria dei gruppi con i teoremi di Sylow, gli anelli commutativi con particolare riferimento alla fattorizzazione unica e agli interi di Gauss, le estensioni dei campi e la teoria di Galois. Il libro contiene inoltre una dettagliata sezione di richiami teorici e può essere usato come libro di riferimento per lo studio. Una serie di esercizi preliminari introduce le tecniche principali da usare per confrontarsi con i testi d'esame proposti. Il volume è rivolto a tutti gli studenti del secondo anno dei corsi di laurea in Matematica.

by Vito Michele Abrusci Lorenzo Tortora de FalcoL'opera si propone come testo di riferimento per acquisire una solida preparazione specialistica nella Logica, presentando in maniera rigorosa ed innovativa argomenti tradizionalmente affrontati nei corsi universitari di secondo livello. Questo secondo volume, che completa l'opera, presenta le basi della teoria della ricorsività, l'aritmetica di Peano ed i teoremi di incompletezza, gli assiomi della teoria assiomatica degli insiemi di Zermelo-Fraenkel e la teoria degli ordinali e dei cardinali che ne deriva.
Meccanica Quantistica: Problemi Scelti (UNITEXT for Physics)
by Leonardo AngeliniIn questa seconda edizione la scelta dei problemi presentati è stata ampliata con alcuni nuovi esercizi come i potenziali quadrati. La raccolta si arricchisce anche dell'aggiunta di due capitoli su metodi di approssimazione diversi dalla teoria perturbativa, approssimazione WKB e Variazionale. Questo libro è dedicato agli studenti che preparano l'esame scritto di un corso di Meccanica Quantistica e presenta problemi che possono essere risolti nei tempi normalmente dedicati agli esami scritti. Di riflesso questa raccolta può risultare molto utile anche ai docenti che devono proporre problemi ai loro studenti sia a lezione che per gli esami. Si assume che i contenuti del corso siano sostanzialmente identici a quelli di un tradizionale corso di Istituzioni di Fisica Teorica dei vecchi ordinamenti del corso di laurea in Fisica. Nei nuovi ordinamenti gli stessi argomenti sono stati, in generale, ripartiti su più corsi.Oltre a sondare la comprensione della materia e l'abilità di applicarla concretamente da parte dello studente, i problemi sono risolvibili in un tempo limitato utilizzando gli strumenti matematici che vengono normalmente forniti nei corsi per la laurea in Fisica. Le soluzioni sono fornite in modo dettagliato, eliminando i passaggi più semplici, per una maggiore fruibilità da parte degli studenti.
With and Without Galton: Vasilii Florinskii And The Fate Of Eugenics In Russia
by Nikolai KrementsovIn 1865, British polymath Francis Galton published his initial thoughts about the scientific field that would become ‘eugenics.’ The same year, Russian physician Vasilii Florinskii addressed similar issues in a sizeable treatise, entitled Human Perfection and Degeneration. Initially unheralded, Florinskii’s book would go on to have a remarkable afterlife in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Russia. In this lucid and insightful work, Nikolai Krementsov argues that the concept of eugenics brings together ideas, values, practices, and fears energised by a focus on the future. It has proven so seductive to different groups over time because it provides a way to grapple with fundamental existential questions of human nature and destiny. With and Without Galton develops this argument by tracing the life-story of Florinskii’s monograph from its uncelebrated arrival amid the Russian empire’s Great Reforms, to its reissue after the Bolshevik Revolution, its decline under Stalinism, and its subsequent resurgence: first, as a founding document of medical genetics, and most recently, as a manifesto for nationalists and racial purists. Krementsov’s meticulously researched ‘biography of a book’ sheds light not only on the peculiar fate of eugenics in Russia, but also on its convoluted transnational history, elucidating the field’s protean nature and its continuing and contested appeal to diverse audiences, multiple local trajectories, and global trends. It is required reading for historians of eugenics, science, medicine, education, literature, and Russia, and it will also appeal to the general reader looking for a deeper understanding of this challenging subject. Victoria College, University of Toronto, has generously contributed to the publication of this volume.

Just Managing? What it Means for the Families of Austerity Britain
by Mark O’Brien Paul KyprianouThe 'just about managing'. 'Hardworking families'. 'Alarm-clock Britain'. In recent years British political discourse has been filled with these slogans, as politicians claim to speak on behalf of families who are in work, but struggling to get by. This book allows us to hear from some of these families directly. At a time when the impact of austerity is more relevant than ever, Just Managing? cuts through the debates and sloganeering to give some of the real people behind the headlines and statistics a chance to tell their stories. It tracks the lives of thirty working families in Liverpool over one year, as they struggle to manage on incomes at or around the National Minimum Wage. Their accounts are placed within the economic and political context that has shaped their experiences and that of millions of other working families across the country. This book is required reading for anyone seeking to understand what life is like at the sharp end of 'austerity Britain’.

Vertical Readings in Dante's Comedy: Volume 3
by George Corbett Heather WebbVertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy is a reappraisal of the poem by an international team of thirty-four scholars. Each vertical reading analyses three same-numbered cantos from the three canticles: Inferno i, Purgatorio i and Paradiso i; Inferno ii, Purgatorio ii and Paradiso ii; etc. Although scholars have suggested before that there are correspondences between same-numbered cantos that beg to be explored, this is the first time that the approach has been pursued in a systematic fashion across the poem. This collection in three volumes offers an unprecedented repertoire of vertical readings for the whole poem. As the first volume exemplifies, vertical reading not only articulates unexamined connections between the three canticles but also unlocks engaging new ways to enter into core concerns of the poem. The three volumes thereby provide an indispensable resource for scholars, students and enthusiasts of Dante. The volume has its origin in a series of thirty-three public lectures held in Trinity College, the University of Cambridge (2012-2016) which can be accessed at the Cambridge Vertical Readings in Dante’s Comedy website.
Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-first Century Crisis
by John Vervaeke Christopher Mastropietro Filip MiscevicWhy has the zombie become such a pervasive figure in twenty-first-century popular culture? John Vervaeke, Christopher Mastropietro and Filip Miscevic seek to answer this question by arguing that particular aspects of the zombie, common to a variety of media forms, a crisis in modern Western culture. The authors examine the essential features of the zombie, including mindlessness, ugliness and homelessness, and argue that these reflect the outlook of the contemporary West and its attendant zeitgeists of anxiety, alienation, disconnection and disenfranchisement. They trace the relationship between zombies and the theme of secular apocalypse, demonstrating that the zombie draws its power from being a perversion of the Christian mythos of death and resurrection. Symbolic of a lost Christian worldview, the zombie represents a world that can no longer explain itself, nor provide us with instructions for how to live within it. The concept of 'domicide' or the destruction of home is developed to describe the modern crisis of meaning that the zombie both represents and reflects. This is illustrated using case studies including the relocation of the Anishinaabe of the Grassy Narrows First Nation, and the upheaval of population displacement in the Hellenistic period. Finally, the authors invoke and reformulate symbols of the four horseman of the apocalypse as rhetorical analogues to frame those aspects of contemporary collapse that elucidate the horror of the zombie. Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis is required reading for anyone interested in the phenomenon of zombies in contemporary culture. It will also be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience including students and scholars of culture studies, semiotics, philosophy, religious studies, eschatology, anthropology, Jungian studies, and sociology.

BetOnMath: Azzardo e matematica a scuola
by Chiara Andrà Nicola Parolini Marco VeraniIl libro ha origine dall'attività svolta durante il progetto "BetOnMath", un'esperienza di Matematica Civile finalizzata alla prevenzione dell'abuso di gioco d'azzardo tra gli studenti della scuola secondaria di secondo grado attraverso un insegnamento innovativo della matematica. In particolare, durante il progetto gli autori del libro hanno sviluppato un percorso didattico modulare sulla matematica del gioco d'azzardo che gli insegnanti di matematica delle scuole secondarie possono utilizzare sia per introdurre gli strumenti di base del calcolo delle probabilità sia per sensibilizzare sui rischi legati al gioco d'azzardo.Il libro descrive i pilastri metodologici e concettuali che hanno guidato la concezione e dato forma al percorso didattico, ovvero la centralità del ruolo dell'insegnante, l'uso dei simulatori di gioco, l'importanza delle attività di gruppo e il ruolo delle emozioni nell'affrontare e comprendere nuovi concetti matematici. Nel libro, ciascuno di questi pilastri è trattato sia mediante una discussione teorica che attraverso la presentazione di specifici esempi tratti da reali situazioni d'aula vissute dagli insegnanti che hanno utilizzato il percorso didattico nelle loro classi. L'ultima parte del libro, scritta in collaborazione con gli esperti di psicologia della dipendenza dell'associazione AND (Azzardo e Nuove Dipendenze), è dedicata ad una indagine volta ad analizzare le attitudini degli studenti di scuola secondaria nei confronti del gioco d'azzardo. L'ampiezza e la varietà del campione analizzato rende tale analisi di particolare rilievo per meglio comprendere il contesto all'interno del quale ha operato il progetto BetOnMath.MOOC: http://betonmath.polimi.it/mooc
