English. In this paper, we illustrate the creation of a NER for the Public Administration (PA) domain. We discuss the creation of an annotated corpus with documents from the Italian Albo Pretorio Nazionale and provide results of the system evaluation. Italiano.

The US National Research Council defines abrupt climate change as a change of state that is sufficiently rapid and sufficiently widespread in its effects that economies are unprepared or incapable of adapting. This may be too restrictive a definition, but abrupt climate change does have implications for the choice between the main response options: mitigation (which reduces the risks of climate...

• The use of HEPS is an effective and promising non-structural measure to help mitigate flood risk in Milano urban area, synergic with the existing structural engineering works. • A forecast horizon of two days is required for an operational chain over the Milano basins, and accurate quantitative forecasts are necessary at least one day in advance. • The pragmatic set of “shifted” configuration...

A review of the hadron electromagnetic form factors obtained in a light-front constituent quark model, based on the eigenfunctions of a mass operator, is presented. The relevance of different components in the q-q interaction for the description of hadron experimental form factors is analysed.

Global measurement of carbon dioxide column with the aim of discovering and quantifying unknown sources and sinks has been a high priority for the last decade. In order to uncover the “missing sink” that is responsible for the large discrepancies in the budget the critical precision for a measurement needs to be on the order of 3 ppm. That number comes from the transport inversion model experim...

* We are deeply grateful to Professor Arrigo Cellina for suggesting the initial problem, for his useful advice, and for his warm encouragement; we also wish to thank Professors Jean-Pierre Aubin and Helena Frankowska, who gave the authors the opportunity to meet together.
