This note essentially constitutes a re-presentation of L’altro Agostino. Ermeneutica e retorica della grazia dalla crisi alla metamorfosi del De doctrina christiana (Brescia: Morcelliana, 2001) by Gaetano Lettieri. Reprinted in 2002, and long at the centre scholarly debate, Agostino has been seminal influential book. Over past twenty years, however, Lettieri had opportunity to further develop h...

We study summation of sequences and integration in the quantum model of computation. We develop quantum algorithms for computing the mean of sequences which satisfy a p-summability condition and for integration of functions from Lebesgue spaces Lp ( [0, 1] ) and analyze their convergence rates. We also prove lower bounds which show that the proposed algorithms are, in many cases, optimal within...

O controle das moscas dos estábulos (Stomoxys calcitrans) representa um grande desafio na pecuária do agreste pernambucano. Nos últimos anos, têm ocorrido ataques da “mosca estábulos” aos rebanhos bovino e equino criados naquela região. Esses ocorrem em forma de surtos que se agravam anualmente no período agosto a dezembro causam prejuízo social econômico estimado ordem 5,6 milhões reais. A pro...

This paper examines whether UK firms that locate their R&D activity in the USA benefit more than other UK firms from knowledge spillovers originating from US R&D. Patent data provides a firm-level measure of the location of innovative activity, which enables the identification of knowledge spillovers associated with "technology sourcing". Our identification strategy helps to address various pro...

Michele Zorzi and Ramesh R. Rao Abstract—In this paper, we consider the slotted ALOHA protocol with capture, in a mobile communication environment, in the presence of Rayleigh fading and log-normal shadowing. The capture probabilities and their asymptotic value, as the number of colliding packets tends to infinity, are computed. A sufficient condition, under which this limit is positive, is ide...

La presente investigación se propone analizar las producciones de robots mestizos dirigidas por Paula Gaetano Adi, Gustavo Crembil y Mariela Yeregui a la luz del concepto utopía. A partir estrategias low tech, estas indagan en un imaginario atravesado el desarrollo conductas afectivas, encuentro entre especies, indistinción lo natural artificial, utilización tecnologías que recuperan materialid...
