    Series title SpringerBriefs on Key Thinkers in Education,
    Abstract The book presents the multi-faceted opus of Danilo Dolci within the framework of Environmental Education, focusing on his work as a grassroots community educator, nonviolent activist and poet. It illustrates Dolci’s ‘Reciprocal Maieutic Approach’, a dialectic method of inquiry that can be defined as a process of collective exploration, taking as point of departure the experience, culture and intuition of individuals, ultimately directed towards the development of citizenship. Sessions led by Dolci in Sicily from the 1950s to the 1990s gave rise to the development of action plans that aimed to empower individuals, transform communities and, extending far beyond this, towards the planning and implementation of changes that would have a dramatic impact at a global and planetary level.

    Abstract Reliable models describing the relationships between ground displacement and magma dynamics at active volcanoes require coupling the thermo-fluid dynamics of multi-fluid magmas with the elasto-dynamic response of the surrounding rocks. Here we present GALES, a 4D (space-time) model and code for the coupled thermo-mechanics of multi-component real non-Newtonian magmas and elastic rocks. GALES has been developed at INGV Pisa and it is open source: https://gitlab.com/dgmaths9/gales. It allows computation of magma dynamics over km-sized domains with any geometry (such as one/more magma chambers with/without connecting dykes and/or conduits connecting to the surface), and hosting magmas with different composition and volatile contents (H2O and CO2); fully coupled with the dynamics of heterogeneous elastic rocks with free surface and real topography. Typical computational time steps and total computational times allow quantification of ground displacement and gravity signals over frequencies in the range 0.0001 – 10 Hz. With reference to volcano geodesy, relevant results achieved with GALES include: i) predicted ULP signals have their counterpart in real measurements at volcanoes, and can be diagnostic of magma convection in buried reservoirs; ii) magma transfer dynamics within volcanic plumbing systems involving multiple reservoirs can result in a decoupling between the apparent source of gravity and deformation signals. Additionally, several other unique insights into the complex dynamics of magmatic and volcanic systems have been obtained with GALES, in particular concerning the relative roles of buoyancy and pressure forces in determining the dynamics of shallow magma chamber replenishment and their associated ground displacement signals.

  5. Article ; Online: Dynamics of Magma Chamber Replenishment Under Buoyancy and Pressure Forces

    Abstract Active magma chambers are periodically replenished upon a combination of buoyancy and pressure forces driving upward motion of initially deep magma. Such periodic replenishments concur to determine the chemical evolution of shallow magmas, they are often associated to volcanic unrests, and they are nearly ubiquitously found to shortly precede a volcanic eruption. Here, we numerically simulate the dynamics of shallow magma chamber replenishment by systematically investigating the roles of buoyancy and pressure forces, from pure buoyancy to pure pressure conditions and across combinations of them. Our numerical results refer to volcanic systems that are not frequently erupting, for which magma at shallow level is isolated from the surface (“closed conduit” volcanoes). The results depict a variety of dynamic evolutions, with the pure buoyant end‐member associated with effective convection and mixing and generation of no or negative overpressure in the shallow chamber, and the pure pressure end‐member translating into effective shallow pressure increase without any dynamics of magma convection associated. Mixed conditions with variable extents of buoyancy and pressure forces illustrate dynamics initially dominated by overpressure, then, over the longer term, by buoyancy forces. Results globally suggest that many shallow magmatic systems may evolve during their lifetime under the control of buoyancy forces, likely triggered by shallow magma degassing. That naturally leads to long‐term stable dynamic conditions characterized by periodic replenishments of shallow partially degassed, heavier magma by volatile‐rich fresh deep magma, similar to those reconstructed from petrology of many shallow‐emplaced magmatic bodies.

    Abstract We examined how sharing autism research articles via social and news media was associated with citations and downloads. We included articles published in 2019 from three autism-focused journals. Every 10 Twitter shares yielded a 4.4% increase in article downloads and 5.2% increase in citations. Articles with at least one Facebook post had 23.3% more downloads than those without. Articles with at least one news story had 56.9% more downloads and 39.3% more citations than those without. Descriptive analysis indicated the most shared, downloaded, and cited articles focused largely on treatments or interventions. Autism researchers should continue sharing articles via Twitter and news media because it increases the reach of their work and may better engage research and autism community members.

    Abstract Continuous-wave laser emission is challenging to obtain in organic lasers, whether in the solid or liquid form, a limitation caused by long-lived triplet states and by thermal effects. In liquid dye lasers, both issues can be fixed by rapidly flowing the dye, which is technically complex and prevents those lasers to be further miniaturized or easily integrated. Here we address the issue of the maximal pulsewidth that can be obtained in liquid dye lasers in the absence of any dye flow, in a compact and cost-effective diode-pumped laser system. Pulses as long as 80 μs have been obtained, thanks to the combination of a hemispherical resonator design, almost insensitive to thermal-lens effects, and an intentional mismatch between pump and cavity spatial modes. The limitation in pulse duration is shown to be entirely due to thermal blooming, and more specifically to diffraction losses brought by the spherical aberration of the thermal lens.

    Abstract The reduced form of graphene oxide (r-GO) represents a versatile precursor to obtain graphene derivatives. Graphene oxide (GO) consists of a layered material based on a carbon skeleton functionalized by different oxygen-containing groups, while r-GO is obtained by the almost complete removal of these oxygen-containing functional groups. The r-GO has mechanical, electrical, and optical properties quite similar to graphene, thus, it proves to be a convenient 2D material useful for many technological applications. Nowadays, the most important aspects to consider in producing r-GO are: (i) the possibility of obtaining the highest reduction grade; (ii) the possibility of improving the dispersion stability of the resulting graphene using surfactants; (iii) the use of environmentally friendly and inexpensive reducing agents. Consequently, the availability of effective soft-chemistry approaches based on a green reducing agent for converting GO to r-GO are strongly needed. Among the green reductants, the most suitable is L-ascorbic acid (L-aa). Different studies have revealed that L-aa can achieve C/O ratio and conductivity values comparable to those obtained by hydrazine, a typical reducing agent. These aspects could promote an effective application strategy, and for this reason, this review summarizes and analyzes, in some detail, the up-to date literature on the reduction of GO by L-aa. The results are organized according to the two most important approaches, which are the reduction in liquid-phase, and the reduction in gel-phase. Reaction mechanisms and different experimental parameters affecting the processes were also compared.
