The Right to Petition in the Italian Revolutionary Triennium (1796-1799) by Cecilia Carnino

“…The second part will focus on the debates on the right to petition that took shape in the context of the Cisalpine Republic, particularly in the sessions of the Grand Council (Gran Consiglio), the lower chamber of the legislative body. It was precisely the members of the Grand Council, who developed the most articulate reflections on the right to petition and on petitions as an instrument of political participation, of defining and defending public interests, and also of protecting citizens against the authorities. …”

“…We conclude that the lack of difference in hs-CRP, PAI-1 and S100B levels, between IUGR and AGA fetuses/neonates—despite the lower birth weight, reflecting reduced fat mass in the former—might indicate more intense adipose tissue and nervous system inflammation in IUGRs. …”

Improving Storability of Strawberries with Gaseous Chlorine Dioxide in Perforated Clamshell Packaging by Chiabrando Valentina, Giuggioli Nicole, Maghenzani Marco, Peano Cristiana, Giacalone Giovanna

“…During the short storage time (3 days at 4°C + 2 days at 20°C) fruit treated with ClO2 maintained better quality parameters, as color, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, anthocyanins, antioxidant capacity and lower values of weight loss. During the long storage time (12 days at 2°C), the parameters related to postharvest quality were generally preserved and the effect of ClO2 was positive to reduce the total yeast and mold, except the last period of the experiment when the ClO2 gas-generating pad was probably exhausted. …”

FATIGUE EVALUATION OF ELECTRIC SHOVEL HANDLE WELDED STRUCTURE BASED ON BATTLLE STRUCTURAL STRESS APPROACH by ZOU Wei, CHENG ShuPei, XIAO Zheng

“…To calculate the fatigue strength of complex handle welded structure under cyclic loading,the stress time history of handle component under cyclic loading was solved using transient modal dynamic analysis method,and the fatigue life of welded structure was calculated using mesh-size insensitive Battlle structural stress approach.It was found that the fatigue strength of original handle welded structure is insufficient because the ear plate connection structure is inconsistent,which results in stress concentration.The transition plate was added to the improved welded structure and the calculation result shows the maximum structural stress near the weld lines is 44.9% lower than that of the original structure,and the stress is relatively uniform.The fatigue life of the improved one was estimated to be 4 years and 5 months.The weld failure of improved welded structure has not occurred for more than 3 years in service in two equipments,which meets the application requirements.For large welded structures which are difficult to conduct physical tests,the numerical calculation based on Battlle structural stress approach can provide a basis for structural design.…”
