Proposta di sottotitolaggio di un episodio de "I Griffin"

L’elaborato si propone come scopo quello di proporre una versione sottotitolata in italiano dell’episodio “The 2000-year-old virgin” della serie animata “I Griffin”. I sottotitoli sono pensati per una collocazione televisiva in seconda serata, e quindi per un pubblico adulto. Il primo capitolo dell’elaborato consiste in una breve introduzione sulla serie e un riassunto della trama dell’episodio. Il secondo capitolo è dedicato alla traduzione audiovisiva e al sottotitolaggio. Il terzo capitolo affronta più da vicino la tematica dell’umorismo, in particolare dell’umorismo tabù, nell’ambito della traduzione audiovisiva. Il quarto e ultimo capitolo, invece, comprende un’analisi della metodologia da me seguita per la creazione dei sottotitoli e il commento alla traduzione, in cui spiego nel dettaglio le scelte traduttive più importanti. L’elaborato si conclude con l’appendice, contenente la tabella dei sottotitoli in cui sono riportati i sottotitoli da me creati e la trascrizione dell’audio originale dell’episodio.

Studio e ottimizzazione di un autoturboreattore

Il ritiro dello Space Shuttle dalla vita operativa avvenuto nel 2011 e le iniziative in corso tra NASA ed aziende commerciali hanno dato il via ad una fase di transizione nel volo spaziale umano volta a fornire servizi di trasporto spaziale maggiormente flessibili. Accanto ad iniziative private che sono principalmente volte al trasporto di turisti nello spazio allo scopo di far loro provare per pochi minuti l’ebbrezza dell’assenza di gravita’ (ad esempio Virgin Galactic), anche la Difesa si sta impegnando in questo campo, in particolar modo negli USA. Inoltre è stata firmata a marzo 2014 una lettera d’intenti tra l’Aeronautica militare e l’Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazione Civile (ENAC) per definire i criteri e le modalità per lo sviluppo della cooperazione nel settore del volo suborbitale e dell’aerospazio. L’accordo segue di pochi giorni la firma a Washington di un Memorandum of Cooperation sul medesimo argomento tra la Federal Aviation Administration americana(FAA) e la stessa ENAC, accordo che fa dell’Italia il primo paese europeo scelto dalla FAA statunitense come partner per la collaborazione nel settore del trasporto spaziale.

Investigation on performance characteristics of dense graded hot mix asphalt with RAP and Crumb Rubber

The use of recycled materials in asphalt mixtures such as reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) have become widely accepted as a replacement for virgin asphalt binder or virgin aggregates. In this study, the RAP content was 30%, and CR additives were blended with the soft unmodified binder by using dry processes. The objective of this study was to investigate and evaluate the engineering properties of dry method application of crumb rubber influences on reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixtures. To evaluate the effect of rubber-bitumen interaction on the mixture’s mechanical properties, a laboratory investigation has been conducted on a range of dense graded and 30% RAP by dry process crumb rubber modified (CRM) asphalt mixtures containing 0% (control), 1% crumb rubber by the total aggregate mass. The experimental program in this research include the binder extraction for estimating the amount of aged binder in the both fine and coarse RAP material. Before extracting the binder the RAP sieve analysis, have been done to provide the Black grading curve. In continue after the binder extraction the material sieved again to providing the white curve. The comparison of Black and White curve indicated that there is a remarkable difference between the aggregate grading even for the fine RAP. The experimental program was continued by fabricating 12 specimens in different 4 types of mixtures. For the first group no RAP, no rejuvenator and no crumb rubber were used. For the second group 30% of virgin aggregates substituted by RAP material and the third group was similar to the second group just with 0.01% rejuvenator. the forth group was the group, which in that the specimens contain RAP, rejuvenator and crumb rubber. Finally the specimens were tested for Indirect tensile strength. The results indicated that the addition of crumb rubber increased the optimum amount of binder in the mixture with 30% RAP.

Investigation on performance characteristics of dense graded hot mix asphalt with RAP and crumb rubber

The objective of this study was to fundamentally characterize the laboratory performance of traditional hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures incorporating high RAP content and waste tire crumb rubber through their fundamental engineering properties. The nominal maximum aggregates size was chosen for this research was 12mm (considering the limitation of aggregate size for surface layer) and both coarse and fine aggregates are commonly used in Italy that were examined and analyzed in this study. On the other hand, the RAP plays an important role in reducing production costs and enhancing the environmentally sustainable pavements instead of using virgin materials in HMA. Particularly, this study has aimed to use 30% of RAP content (25% fine aggregate RAP and 5% coarse aggregate RAP) and 1% of CR additives by the total weight of aggregates for mix design. The mixture of aggregates, RAP and CR were blended with different amount of unmodified binder through dry processes. Generally, the main purposes of this study were investigating on capability of using RAP and CR in dense graded HMA and comparing the performance of rejuvenator in RAP with CR. In addition, based on the engineering analyses during the study, we were able compare the fundamental Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) value of dense graded HMA and also mechanical characteristics in terms of Indirect Tensile Stiffness Modulus (ITSM). In order to get an extended comparable data, four groups of different mixtures such as conventional mixture with only virgin aggregates (DV), mixture with RAP (DR), mixture with RAP and rejuvenator (DRR), and mixture with RAP, rejuvenator, CR (DRRCr) were investigated in this research experimentally. Finally, the results of those tests indicated that the mixtures with RAP and CR had the high stiffness and less thermal sensitivity, while the mixture with virgin aggregates only had very low values in comparison.
