Review of Gianni Vattimo, A Farewell to Truth, trans. William McCuaig. New York
Daniel Mariano Leiro
Mar 23, 2016
Could a book such as A Farewell to Truth by Gianni Vattimo have been better received? It doesn’t seem so. Those who think that saying goodbye to the truth might be a much too risky business are still the majority. However...

In-situ damage detection in SMA reinforced CFRP
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the possibility to manufacture and verify the self-sensing capability of composite materials plates with an embedded network of NiTi shape memory alloys (SMA) used as transducers for...
Unusually large components in near-critical Erdös-Rényi graphs via ballot theorems
We consider the near-critical Erdos-Rényi random graph G(n, p) and provide a new probabilistic proof of the fact that, when p is of the form p=p(n)=1/n+λ/n4/3 and A is large, {equation presented} where Cmax is the largest...

Stability Analysis of Nonlinear Rotating Systems Using Lyapunov Characteristic Exponents Estimated From Multibody Dynamics
The use of Lyapunov Characteristic Exponents to assess the stability of nonlinear, time-dependent mechanical systems is discussed. Specific attention is dedicated to methods capable of estimating the largest exponent without...
A millennium-long reconstruction of damaging hydrological events across Italy.
Damaging hydrological events are extreme phenomena with potentially severe impacts on human societies. Here, we present the hitherto longest reconstruction of damaging hydrological events for Italy, and for the whole...
Probable Maximum Flood – The Potential for Estimation in the UK using ReFH2
The current reservoir safety guidance within the UK recommends the use of the FSR/FEH rainfall-runoff model to estimate PMF (probable maximum flood) peak flows for reservoirs within the highest risk category (A). However, the...
Analytical and numerical seismic assessment of heritage masonry towers
Abstract: The new Italian building code, published in 2018 [MIT in NTC 2018: D.M. del Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei trasporti del 17/01/2018. Aggiornamento delle Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni (in Italian), 2018]...

Light Management with Natural Materials
The possibility of structuring material at the nanoscale is essential to control light-matter interactions and therefore fabricate next-generation paints and coatings. In this context, nature can serve not only as a source of...

Testing the New World
Abstract: The paper presents new research on an assemblage of metallurgical crucibles used in the assay of minerals at colonial Jamestown. The aim of the study is to explore the range of chemical operations carried out at the...
Anomalous-Diffusion-Assisted Brightness in White Cellulose Nanofibril Membranes.

The understanding of the interaction between light and complex, random structures is the key for designing and tailoring the optical appearance and performance of many materials that surround us, ranging from everyday consumer...
Machine Learning on Soccer Player Positions
During the last few years, sports analytics has been growing rapidly. The main usage of this discipline is the prediction of soccer match results, even if it can be applied with interesting results in different areas, such as...

Tailored Bayes
Risk prediction models are a crucial tool in healthcare. Risk prediction models with a binary outcome (i.e., binary classification models) are often constructed using methodology which assumes the costs of different...

A depth-duration-frequency analysis for short-duration rainfall events in England and Wales.
This study presents a depth–duration–frequency (DDF) model, which is applied to the annual maxima of sub-hourly rainfall totals of selected stations in England and Wales. The proposed DDF model follows from the standard...
