Olive growing is expanding rapidly in many countries around the world in which olives have not previously been widely cultivated. Pruning olive trees is quite different from pruning other fruit trees of the temperate zone, because of their biological peculiarities. Errors in pruning may result in yield losses or higher cultivation costs. Pruning also determines the training system which, in turn, is one of the major factors for successful tree performance and orchard profitability. Pruning and Training Systems for Modern Olive Growing summarises the information available on current pruning techniques and training systems. It specifically addresses the problems faced by growers, professionals and students who are new to olive growing and provides information previously not available in English. The fundamental aim of this book is to explain the basic concepts at a practical level. It will allow the reader, whether experienced horticulturalist or beginner, to develop his or her own skills and pruning strategy.

Possibilities of Numerical and Experimental Techniques - Proceedings of the IVth Int. Seminar on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions, 10-13 November 2004, Padova, Italy
Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions contains about 160 papers that were presented at the IV International Seminar on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions that was held from 10 to 13 November, 2004 in Padova Italy. Following publications of previous seminars that were organized in Barcelona, Spain (1995 and 1998) and Guimarães, Portugal (2001), state-of-the-art information is presented in these two volumes on the preservation, protection, and restoration of historical constructions, both comprising monumental structures and complete city centers. These two proceedings volumes are devoted to the possibilities of numerical and experimental techniques in the maintenance of historical structures. In this respect, the papers, originating from over 30 countries, are subdivided in the following areas: Historical aspects and general methodology, Materials and laboratory testing, Non-destructive testing and inspection techniques, Dynamic behavior and structural monitoring, Analytical and numerical approaches, Consolidation and strengthening techniques, Historical timber and metal structures, Seismic analysis and vulnerability assessment, Seismic strengthening and innovative systems, Case studies. Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions is a valuable source of information for scientists and practitioners working on structure-related issues of historical constructions

The world of politics hasn’t answered to the tragedy of Giulio Regeni, who disappeared on January 25th 2016 in Cairo. Al Sisi’s Egypt persists in sabotaging the investigation into the kidnapping, torture and murder of the son of Paola Deffendi and Claudio Regeni. In the last four years five more innocent people have been killed in Egypt and the government has invented incredible stories and falsified documents in order to allay suspicion. Even though judicial cooperation was promised, Egyptian police forces continue to intimidate and obstruct the work of the Egyptian commission for rights and freedom to which Giulio’s parents have turned. Even Europe hasn’t given an answer to this tragedy and Italy has failed to do so as well. Giulio’s parents and their lawyer though are fighting in order to obtain justice and truth for Giulio and all the others who have suffered a similar fate. With them there is a yellow wave of people that is talking about Giulio, wearing bracelets, hanging banners in city halls, universities and cultural venues asking for truth and justice. This is because Giulio was an Italian citizen, a European citizen who had chosen culture as a tool to obtain solidarity and social justice. Giulio was born in Trieste and grew up in Fiumicello, in FriuliVenezia Giulia. He graduated in Leeds (UK), got a masters at Cambridge and was doing a PhD there. In Cairo he was working on a thesis dealing with the socio-economic aspects of Egypt and with trade union issues. Giulio Regeni’s parents’ fight in order to shed light on his murder needs to be our fight as well. Because truth and justice are rights that should belong to all citizens.
