    Central and Southern Italy Campania, Molise, Abruzzo, Marche, Umbria and Lazio Garigliano

    EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR ENERGY DIRECTORATE D - Nuclear Safety and Fuel Cycle Radiation Protection Main Conclusions of the Commission’s Article 35 verification NATIONAL MONITORING NETWORK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY Central and Southern Italy Campania, Molise, Abruzzo, Marche, Umbria and Lazio DISCHARGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING Garigliano NPP Date: 12 to 17 September 2011 Verification team: Mr C. Gitzinger (team leader) Mr E. Henrich Mr. E. Hrnecek Mr. A. Ryan Reference: IT-11/06 INTRODUCTION Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty requires that each Member State shall establish facilities necessary to carry out continuous monitoring of the levels of radioactivity in air, water and soil and to ensure compliance with the basic safety standards (1). Article 35 also gives the European Commission (EC) the right of access to such facilities in order that it may verify their operation and efficiency. For the EC, the Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) and in particular its Radiation Protection Unit (at the time of the visit ENER.D.4, now ENER.D.3) is responsible for undertaking these verifications. The main purpose of verifications performed under Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty is to provide an independent assessment of the adequacy of monitoring facilities for: - Liquid and airborne discharges of radioactivity into the environment by a site (and control thereof). - Levels of environmental radioactivity at the site perimeter and in the marine, terrestrial and aquatic environment around the site, for all relevant pathways. - Levels of environmental radioactivity on the territory of the Member State. Taking into account previous bilateral protocols, a Commission Communication has been published in the Official Journal on 4 July 2006 with a view to define some practical arrangements for the conduct of Article 35 verification visits in Member States.

    Cutting Patterns in DW Griffith's Biographs

    Cutting patterns in D.W. Griffith’s Biographs: An experimental statistical study Mike Baxter, 16 Lady Bay Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 5BJ, U.K. (e-mail: [email protected]) 1 Introduction A number of recent studies have examined statistical methods for investigating cutting patterns within films, for the purposes of comparing patterns across films and/or for summarising ‘average’ patterns in a body of films. The present paper investigates how different ideas that have been proposed might be combined to identify subsets of similarly constructed films (i.e. exhibiting comparable cutting structures) within a larger body. The ideas explored are illustrated using a sample of 62 D.W Griffith Biograph one-reelers from the years 1909–1913. Yuri Tsivian has suggested that ‘all films are different as far as their SL struc- tures; yet some are less different than others’. Barry Salt, with specific reference to the question of whether or not Griffith’s Biographs ‘have the same large scale variations in their shot lengths along the length of the film’ says the ‘answer to this is quite clearly, no’. This judgment is based on smooths of the data using seventh degree trendlines and the observation that these ‘are nearly all quite different one from another, and too varied to allow any grouping that could be matched against, say, genre’1. While the basis for Salt’s view is clear Tsivian’s apparently oppos- ing position that some films are ‘less different than others’ seems to me to be a reasonably incontestable sentiment. It depends on how much you are prepared to simplify structure by smoothing in order to effect comparisons.

Over time, Italy has also earned notoriety for its cuisine, resulting in the rise of tourists participating in culinary tourism throughout the country. Culinary tourism is unique, as eating is necessary for any person, all tourists in some way partake in it.1 More frequently, tourists, particularly American tourists, view sharing in Italian cuisine as a way of accessing an “authentic” Italy which is supposedly hidden away in the age of mass tourism.

    RELAZIONE NUOVE LINEE GUIDA P.R.G. LOCALIZZAZIONE Castropignano, comune posto nel cuore della Regione Molise, a 590 metri sopra il livello del mare, con una superficie di circa 27,02 Km. quadrati, ed una densità abitativa di 42,5 ab/Kmq., complessivamente ha una popolazione di circa 1.050 ab., 438 famiglie e circa 800 abitazioni. Dista 16 km. dal Capoluogo Campobasso ed oltre a far parte dell’Unione dei Comuni del Medio Sannio, il suo territorio appartiene anche alla Comunità Montana “Molise centrale”. Il territorio ricade nella fascia collinare del Molise, coincidente appunto col Medio-Molise. L’andamento orografico alterna zone aspre, spesso convergenti verso torrenti alluvionali, a colline più dolci, morbide, declinanti verso la valle del Biferno. L’abitato si sviluppa su un costone roccioso, che corre parallelo alla valle del Biferno, in posizione panoramica, di notevole bellezza. A 4 chilometri dal centro capoluogo sorge la frazione di Roccaspromonte, la cui popolazione costituisce un quinto della intera comunità; anche questa piccola frazione è posta in posizione notevolmente panoramica, dominando dalla sua posizione l’alta valle del Biferno. Il paese posto sul versante sinistro dell'alto bacino del fiume Biferno, tra i confini dei comuni di Oratino, Fossalto, Torella del Sannio e Casalciprano, è attraversato dalla ex strada statale 618 Molesana, attualmente Strada Provinciale n. 169; a cinque chilometri scorre il tracciato della Statale 647 “Fondo Valle del Biferno, che collega rapidamente l'entroterra molisano al mare Adriatico. I caselli di San Vittore, a 88 km in direzione nord, e Caianello, a 94 km verso sud, danno accesso all'Autostrada del Sole A1, mentre sul versante Adriatico a circa 60 Km.

We studied the Matese and Beneventano seismicity by means of high-precision locations of earthquakes spanning from 29 December 2013 to 4 September 2018. Events were located by using all of the available data from temporary and permanent stations in the area and a 1D computed velocity model, inverting the dataset with the Velest code. For events M > 2.8 we used P- and S-waves arrival times of the strong motion stations located in the study area. A constant value of 1.83 for Vp/Vs was computed with a modified Wadati method. The dataset consists of 2378 earthquakes, 18,715 P- and 12,295 S-wave arrival times. We computed 55 new fault plane solutions. The mechanisms show predominantly normal fault movements, with T-axis trends oriented NE–SW.

    Washington, D.C. Update – September 2016

    GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY September 2016 This is an advertisement. Washington, D.C. Update Clinton and Trump: A Policy Comparison This month, we have a special edition of the Baker Donelson Washington Update focusing on what to expect from the 45th President of the United States. Of course we are all waiting on the November election to find out whether that will be Secretary Hillary Clinton or Mr. Donald Trump; in the meantime, we will examine a number of the candidates’ statements, proposals and announced transition teams to get a sense of what we can expect when a new president is sworn into office on January 20, 2017. Here is what is included in this month’s Washington Update: • Taxes – Clinton and Trump Propose Diametrically Opposed Tax Plans • Trade and Investment – A Rare Area of Agreement on TPP • The Economy – Two Differing Ways to Grow the Economy and Create Shared Prosperity • Energy and Environment – Opposites on Oil, Gas and Coal; Potential Overlap in Nuclear Power • Health Care – The Fight Over the ACA Continues • Presidential Transition Teams Regarding the potential for a long-term budget and appropriations deal or the future of defense spending, other than a commitment by Secretary Clinton to provide “budgetary certainty to facilitate reforms and enable long-term planning,” these issues have not been meaningfully addressed by either campaign. For additional information regarding the current budget decisions, please see the Washington, D.C.

Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract My thesis explores the way in which the Italian language and literary culture contributed to John Milton’s early development as a poet (over the period up to 1639 and the composition of Epitaphium Damonis). I begin by investigating the nature of the cultural relationship between England and Italy in the late medieval and early modern periods. I then examine how Milton’s own engagement with the Italian language and its literature evolved in the context of his family background, his personal contacts with the London Italian community and modern language teaching in the early seventeenth century as he grew to become a ‘multilingual’ poet. My study then turns to his first published collection of verse, Poems 1645. Here, I reconsider the Italian elements in Milton’s early poetry, beginning with the six poems he wrote in Italian, identifying their place and significance in the overall structure of the volume, and their status and place within the Italian Petrarchan verse tradition.
