La rappresentazione cartografica ha negli ultimi anni attratto attenzioni crescenti e diversificate che vanno inquadrate nel rinnovato interesse che le scienze sociali hanno rivolto alla spazialità e alla visualità. I geografi sono stati, ovviamente, tra i protagonisti di questa profonda operazione di revisione epistemologica. Nel ripensarne i fondamenti sono stati guidati, in particolare, dalla felice collocazione della carta all’incrocio strategico tra il piano della realtà geografica e quello dell’immaginario spaziale.

The city is a “system of connection”: a set of relationships between the building typology and the urban morphology, between the positioning of the monuments in relation to the fabrics, between the discipline of the plan and the need to give form to places and spatial quality of contexts. This “system of connection” is evident in the historic city, which it’s structured through the formation of dense and compact “fabrics” and it recognizes its element of formation in the concept of “urban block”.

The SNARC effect consists of faster reaction times to small numerical magnitudes when manual responses are delivered in the left-side of space and to large magnitudes when responses are delivered in the right-side. This spatial compatibility effect points at the interaction between the representations of space and that of numbers. Several studies have highlighted that an important determinant for the production of the SNARC is the use of contrasting left/right spatial codes in the selection of motor responses. In these studies, one spatial code for response selection, e.g.

One of the issues of major interest in numerical cognition is the relationship between the brain representation of space and that of numerical magnitudes. Space–Number interactions have been vari- ously ascribed to the inherent spatial coding of number magnitudes, to the verbal coding of space determined by the use of contrasting left/ right spatial codes in the task at hand or to the use of the same spatial codes in the selection of motor responses associated with numerical features such as magnitude or parity.

As a part of the environment met by a launcher during the ascent phase and during the on orbit operations, the electromagnetic radiation (EM) can interact with space systems. Such an interaction can affect the on board operations with negative response on the systems. It seems so necessary to protect the complex systems on the launcher from the EM radiation. The protections have to be properly designed to limit the amount of interference to sensitive systems such antennas and electronic devices.

We show that if a k-CNF requires width w to refute in resolution, then it requires space square root of √ω to refute in polynomial calculus, where the space of a polynomial calculus refutation is the number of monomials that must be kept in memory when working through the proof. This is the first analogue, in polynomial calculus, of Atserias and Dalmau's result lower-bounding clause space in resolution by resolution width.

Beyond the significant results achieved in field research, the study of the Linguistic Landscape (LL) offers a testing ground for the theoretical and categorical changes that have impacted the latest sociolinguistic research. It is in fact through this concept that linguistic studies have participated in the so-called ‘spatial turn’ so pervasive in the human and social sciences in recent decades marked by an increasingly complex interpretation of space.

Phylogenetic turnover quantifies the evolutionary distance among species assemblages and is central to understanding the main drivers shaping biodiversity. It is affected both by geographic and environmental distance between sites. Therefore, analyzing phylogenetic turnover in environmental space requires removing the effect of geographic distance. Here, we apply a novel approach by deciphering phylogenetic turnover of European tetrapods in environmental space after removing geographic land distance effects.

The present study focuses on the value of visual narratives as expression of meaning and emotions via the emplotment of stories that, because they are told, seen and narrated, acquire a deep cultural and mnemonic importance across time.
