Abstract:
The paper deals with terracing techniques for multi-storey residential buildings on flat terrain. The relevance of terracing application in modern architecture is substantiated, as this architectural and planning method allows not only to radically change the visual qualities of a residential building, but also to enhance the planning qualities of apartments, supplementing them with additional individual open spaces. The paper outlines the classification of terracing techniques for multi-storey residential buildings from the point of forming their volumetric and spatial composition. An analysis of different terracing methods with examples from current world practice is presented. The presented terracing techniques demonstrate the great potential of this method in design practice both for achieving expressive architecture of buildings and complexes, and for improving the quality of urbanized residential environment in general.

Abstract:
The impact of terracing construction on the soil moisture content of slope farmland was analyzed at three sites in northeast China’s black soil region, across a range of latitudes and hydrological, temperature and soil quality conditions. At each research site, slope farmland with terracing was compared to unterraced slope farmland with a similar shape and gradient. During the wet crop growth period (July) and dry postharvest period (October) of 2022, the TRIME-PICO64TDR soil moisture measuring instrument was used to measure the soil moisture content at depths of 0–60 cm. Terracing increased soil moisture content by up to 2.83 percentage points during the crop growth period and by up to 1.69 percentage points during the postharvest period. Terracing had a significant impact on the volumetric soil moisture content of the shallower soil layer (0–30 cm) during the growing period, and on the volumetric soil moisture content of the deeper soil layer (30–60 cm) during the postharvest period. Terracing weakens the effect of slope position on volumetric soil moisture, reducing differences in volumetric soil moisture content among different slope positions. The difference in the water conservation benefit of terracing among the sites is mainly related to soil quality: the lower the soil bulk density and the higher the silt clay content is, the greater the benefit of terracing for retaining moisture. The findings of this study can be beneficial for guiding management measures for slope arable soil in black soil regions around the world.

Abstract:
In semi-arid and arid terrestrial ecosystems, terracing and vegetation may improve soil conditions and enhance habitats. Considerable recent works have focused on evaluating how terracing and vegetation affect individual ecosystem function, but none of these evaluations included soil ecosystem multifunctionality (SEMF), which has a positive significance for optimizing soil ecosystem management. Based on the survey data of six different combinations of terracing and vegetation in the Chinese Loess Plateau, 15 functional indicators related to soil fertility, nutrient transformation/cycling, and water conservation were selected. The maximum conversion of the mean value method was employed to quantify SEMF. Concerning individual ecosystem services, the capacities of half-moon terraces-Pinus tabulaeformis (Ht-P. tabulaeformis) and level benches-Caragana korshinskii (Lb-C. korshinskii) to maintain soil fertility were 43.25% and 42.01% higher than those of counter-slope terraces-Platycladus orientalis (Ct-P. orientalis). On the contrary, Ct-P. orientalis showed better nutrient transformation and cycling services, which was 9.23% higher than those of Ht-P. tabulaeformis, therefore, we observed the highest SEMF in the Ht-P. tabulaeformis. Terracing, with a 29.2% explained variation, had a greater influence than that of vegetation (12.6%), while the coupling effect of terracing and vegetation (37.9%) was the most important factor that determined the SEMF. Thus, Ht-P. tabulaeformis and Lb-C. korshinskii should be promoted in the Loess Plateau area. The results of this study have significance in terms of understanding the interactions between terracing, vegetation, and soil ecosystems.

Abstract:
Earlier work on the terraced settlements of the Bokoni area (16th to 19th century, Mpumalanga province, South Africa) focussed on the homesteads, their contents, layout and chronology. This paper suggests a terminology and typology of agrarian structures in Bokoni in order to improve comparative approaches in Africa and beyond. The typology and an excavation of the terracing permit possible preliminary conclusions relevant for the further analysis of the terracing and stone-walling in Bokoni. The terracing developed incrementally, whereby cultivation, stone-clearing and terracing were intermixed processes. This is supported both by the organic content in a section of a terrace and by a phytolith analysis. The phytolith analysis furthermore indicated that maize was cultivated on the terraces, but this should be seen as a pilot study only, and presence of maize in Bokoni must be tested with other archaeobotanical methods.

Abstract:
Highland terracing systems are a technology used in the ancient Andes to expand the agricultural frontier; then, that technology became an important source of food for the Incas. Research shows that the productivity of land was due to the form of construction of the platforms, but there are few studies that analyze soil fertility. In order to demonstrate the fertility in the terraces, soil physical and chemical properties were compared in three different sectors: terraces at rest, abandoned terraces and a hillside with no technology. They all belong to the terracing system of San Pedro de Laraos town, in Huarochiri, Lima. In all three sectors loam predominates. The soil pH is within the range of high bioavailability of most nutrients (5.5 to 7.5), except for two points on the slope without platforms. The soil electrical conductivity presents ranges that qualify the three areas as "no saline" (< 2 dS / m). The organic matter is in the appropriate percentages (3-5%), especially on the terraces at rest, which also have the highest content of NPK. In conclusion, the soil of the three zones does not differ significantly in their physical parameters, but it differs in the chemical parameters, especially in the content of macronutrients; the better range is in terraces at rest. However, the community of Laraos does not take advantage of it soil fertility; actually, most of their terracing system is abandoned and the structures are in a deterioration process.
Los sistemas de andenería son una tecnología prehispánica utilizada en los Andes para ampliar la frontera agrícola, llegándose a convertir en una importante fuente de alimentos para los Incas. Investigaciones señalan que la productividad de las tierras fue resultado de la forma de construcción de los andenes, pero son pocos los estudios que analizan la condición fértil del suelo propiamente. Para demostrar la fertilidad del suelo de los andenes, se compararon las propiedades físicas y químicas del suelo en tres zonas: andenes en descanso, andenes abandonados y ladera sin andenes, todos pertenecientes al sistema de andenería de la localidad de San Pedro de Laraos, provincia de Huarochirí, Lima. En los tres sectores predomina la textura franca. El pH se encuentra dentro del rango de mayor disponibilidad de nutrientes (5,5 – 7,5), con excepción de dos puntos en la ladera sin andenes. La conductividad eléctrica presenta rangos que califican al suelo de las tres zonas como “no salinos” (0,174 – 0,683 dS/m). La materia orgánica está en los porcentajes adecuados (3 – 5 %), sobre todo en los andenes en descanso, que de igual manera tenían los contenidos más elevados de NPK. Se concluye que el suelo de las tres zonas no difiere significativamente en sus parámetros físicos, pero sí en los parámetros químicos, especialmente en los contenidos de macronutrientes, siendo los andenes en descanso los que presentan valores dentro de los rangos ideales. Sin embargo, la comunidad larahuina no aprovecha la fertilidad de sus suelos, dejando sus andenes abandonados y en proceso de deterioro.

Abstract:
O terraceamento é uma prática de conservação do solo que visa reduzir a perda de água e solo pela interceptação de enxurradas que ocorrem quando a intensidade da chuva supera a capacidade de infiltração de água no solo. Atualmente, o dimensionamento dos terraços tem sido feito com base em conhecimento empírico; no entanto, um conhecimento mais detalhado da física dos processos que regem o funcionamento dos terraços possibilitaria otimizar o dimensionamento dos terraços. No presente estudo foi avaliada a capacidade de infiltração de água no canal de um terraço em nível pelos métodos da densidade de fluxo e da armazenagem de água em diferentes condições de manejo agrícola (solo nu, solo gramado e solo sob preparo convencional e plantio direto para a implantação da cultura de milho) num Latossolo vermelho com declividade média de 0,08 m m-1. Em cada tratamento foram instaladas sondas de TDR em três pontos de observação no centro do canal do terraço (distanciados de 4 m entre si e considerados como repetições), nas rofundidades de 0,05, 0,10, 0,20, 0,40, 0,60 e 0,80 m. Nestas mesmas profundidades amostras indeformadas de solo foram retiradas para determinação da densidade e curva de retenção de água no solo. As leituras das guias de onda do TDR foram feitas automaticamente e a intensidade de chuva monitorada por um pluviômetro automatizado. Ao final de cada evento de chuva erosiva a deposição de solo foi medida por meio de 14 pontos de observação dispostos ao longo do centro do canal do terraço de cada tratamento. Durante a estação seca (julho-agosto), a condutividade hidráulica do solo não saturado foi determinada em cada repetição nas mesmas profundidades, utilizando o método do perfil instantâneo. Os resultados demonstraram que os manejos agrícolas influenciam na deposição de água e solo sobre o canal do terraço e estas na formação de selo superficial e na capacidade de infiltração de água do canal. Conclui-se que a alta variação comumente obtida entre as repetições de determinação da condutividade hidráulica implica em dificuldades quando se objetiva detectar pequenas diferenças nas densidades de fluxo entre tratamentos. Assim, mostrou ser inviável utilizar densidades de fluxo calculadas pela equação de Darcy-Buckingham para encontrar diferenças em taxas de infiltração em terraços em nível. Essa conclusão reforça-se devido às condições superficiais altamente variáveis encontradas em canais de terraços em nível devido a deposições irregulares do material erodido. Uma metodologia para se realizar medições da umidade nas deposições sobre o canal deve ser desenvolvida para aumentar a acurácia da medida da armazenagem. A taxa de infiltração de água no canal do terraço não pode ser estimada pela variação da armazenagem da água no solo somente, devido ao papel importante da drenagem profunda e, possivelmente, da absorção de água pela camalhão do terraço. Uma adequada estimativa da taxa de infiltração no canal do terraço, imprescindível para seu dimensionamento, deve aliar um grande número de repetições, além da medição da umidade no interior da camada de material depositado sobre o canal ao longo do tempo.
Terracing is a soil conservation practice that aims to reduce water and soil loss by interception of runoff that occurs when rainfall intensities exceed infiltration capacity. Actually, dimensions of terraces are being determined in an empirical way; however, a more detailed understanding of the physics behind the hydrological functions of terraces would allow an optimized dimensioning of terraces. In this study the infiltration capacity of a level terrace was evaluated by the methods of flux density and water storage, under different management conditions (bare soil, pasture, conventionally tilled maize and zero-tillage maize) on an oxisol with a slope of 0.08 m m-1. In each treatment TDR sensors were installed at three observation points in the middle of the terrace canal (distance between points: 4 m; considered to be repetitions) at the depths of 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40, 0.60 and 0.80 m. At the same depths, undisturbed soil samples were taken to determine soil density and soil water retention curve. TDR readings were made automatically and a rainfall gauge automatically monitored rainfall intensity. At the end of each rainfall event, soil deposition was measured at 14 locations in the terrace canal in each treatment. During the dry season (July-August), unsaturated hydraulic conductivity was determined at each repetition at the same depths by the instantaneous profile method. The results showed that agricultural management influenced water and soil deposition in the terrace canal and these affected surfaced sealing and infiltration capacity. It was concluded that the high variation usually obtained between repetitions of the hydraulic conductivity determinations makes the detection of small differences between flux densities difficult. Therefore, it showed to be impossible to use flux densities calculated by Darcy-Buckingham equation in the order to prove existence of different infiltration rates in level terraces. This conclusion was reinforced due to the highly variable surface conditions in the terrace canal. A methodology to measure water contents within the depositions in the canal should be developed to increase the precision of water storage estimation. Infiltration rates in the terrace canal cannot be estimated by storage variation alone, due to the important role of drainage and, possibly, ascension of water in the terrace hill. A correct estimate of the infiltration rate in the canal, necessary for its dimensioning, should combine a high number of repetitions with the measurement of water content within the layer of deposits over the terrace canal surface along time.

Abstract:
This dissertation provides a critical assessment of Laura Terracina (1519-c.1577) and her works. It argues that she was a consummate product of her age, embodying the tensions which ruled the Italian peninsula. Terracina published eight books and left a ninth in manuscript at the time of her death, winning legions of admirers and making her sixteenth-century Italy's most commercially successful female author. Yet in spite of her enormous popularity amongst her contemporaries, scholarship has largely neglected Terracina. This dissertation will open up an overdue field of enquiry into her life and works, exploring the significance of her role as a sixteenth-century female poet through the lenses of gender and class. By mapping her place in the literary landscape, it is hoped that this thesis will encourage scholars to afford Terracina the attention she so richly deserves. The first chapter of the dissertation situates Terracina as a poet of Naples, seeing her as a product of her family's political standing within the city, her academician status, and her own construction of an urban coterie of supporters. The second chapter considers the mechanics of the journey into print, assessing Terracina's own input and her close collaboration with male editors and publishers. It proposes a greater attribution of agency to Terracina than has thus far been made, arguing that she is, in fact, an important figure in the process of her texts reaching the hands of readers. The third chapter considers how the poet used her printed books as social tools, employing them to gain social and literary capital. The second section of the dissertation looks at two thematic strands within Terracina's poetry. Chapter four considers her political poetry, including her attitude towards the harm done to civilian populations across Europe. Chapter five looks at the religious dimension to Terracina's work, the spiritual poetry written in her later years, and the relationship this bears to her secular lyric. Finally, the dissertation concludes with a chapter on the contemporary reception of Terracina's texts, providing preliminary thoughts on how she was read, before closing with a consideration of her literary afterlife in the centuries that followed.

Abstract:
Con il termine “tetti verdi” si intendono vere e proprie coperture vegetate, che fungono da valida alterativa alle tipologie convenzionali a coppi oppure in guaina impermeabilizzante. Per quanto questi possano essere considerati una soluzione moderna relativa alle diverse Best Management Practices (BMP), in realtà sono stati realizzati e sfruttati fin dall'antichità. Dagli anni Settanta ad oggi hanno preso sempre più piede in Europa e negli altri continenti a causa dei molteplici benefici che li accompagnano a livello ambientale. All'interno di questo studio ci si pone l‟obiettivo di valutarne i vantaggi, principalmente a livello energetico ed idraulico, riscontrati in letteratura, direttamente sul campo, grazie al sito di studio presso la sede di Ingegneria di via Terracini, Bologna. Sulle coperture del LAGIRN (Laboratorio di Geoingegneria e Risorse Naturali), infatti, nell‟estate 2013 sono stati realizzati due tetti verdi (uno a Sedum, che sarà indicato con la sigla GR, e uno con piante autoctone, identificato con la sigla NA). Tramite il confronto tra le temperature registrate grazie a diversi tipi di strumentazione, è stato possibile quantificare i comportamenti delle coperture su scala annuale, non solo l‟una rispetto l‟altra, ma anche in rapporto a una porzione di tetto lasciata a guaina bituminosa (indicato con la sigla RR). Considerando il ruolo della vegetazione come strumento per la mitigazione del fenomeno d‟isola di calore urbana, infine, con l‟ausilio del software CFD denominato ENVI-met si è modellata l‟intera area del Lazzaretto e si sono simulati tre diversi scenari: 1) Lo stato attuale 2) Una situazione ipotetica con tutte coperture a Sedum 3) Una situazione ipotetica con tutte coperture con specie autoctone per la giornata estiva più calda e per un comune giorno di Ottobre, a seguito di una minuziosa calibrazione. Il confronto tra la situazione reale e quelle supposte dimostra la validità dei green roofs nella lotta al riscaldamento delle grandi città.

Abstract:
Negli ultimi decenni, in varie parti del Mondo cosi come in Italia, si è assistito a un rapido aumento di strutture abitative, fabbricati ad uso industriale, residenziale e rurale. La continua sottrazione di terreno per tali scopi ha portato a un aumento di tutta una serie di problematiche ambientali. Con la diminuzione delle aree verdi si è andati incontro a una diminuzione della trattenuta idrica del terreno, all'aumento della velocità di scolo dell'acqua e del tempo di corrivazione con conseguenze sempre più drammatiche per le aree urbanizzate nei periodi di forti piogge. Inoltre, c'è da ricordare, che una diminuzione delle aree a verde comporta, oltre al cambiamento a livello paesaggistico, anche una diminuzione della capacità delle piante di trattenere le polveri inquinanti e di produrre ossigeno. Tutti questi fattori hanno portato allo studio di soluzioni tecnologiche che potessero unire i bisogni di verde della collettività con la necessità di una gestione sostenibile delle acque meteoriche. Tra esse, una che sta trovando notevole applicazione è la creazione di aree verdi sulla copertura degli edifici. Secondo le loro caratteristiche, queste aree verdi sono denominate tetti verdi e/o giardini pensili. La struttura si compone di strati di coltivazione e drenaggio con diversa profondità e una copertura vegetale. La vegetazione utilizzata può andare da specie con bassissime richieste manutentive (tipo estensivo) ad altre con maggiori necessità (tipo intensivo), come i tappeti erbosi. Lo scopo di questa tesi è stato quello di approntare una sperimentazione sul nuovo tetto verde realizzato presso la sede di Ingegneria, via Terracini 28, volta a stimare i costi economici e ambientali sostenuti per la realizzazione dello stesso, per poi confrontarli con i benefici ambientali legati al risparmio idrico ed energetico su scala edificio e urbana. Per la stima dei costi ambientali dei materiali utilizzati, dalla nascita al fine vita, si è utilizzato il metodo LCA- Life Cycle Assessment- e il software Sima Pro

Abstract:
Abstract Dry farming by its very nature is typically associated with nearly level or relatively relief-free land. In no small way this is a function of the need for stability vis-à-vis the powerful forces of nature, and holds as true for rock veneers laid down by farmers as it does for naturally deposited sand. Although gravel mulch is a protective device in one respect, it is not without its weaknesses. Principal among these is its unsuitability on slope lands where runoff is heavy and its effects great. Runoff, of course, is the combined product of precipitation and the nature of the land on which it falls. (For economic assessments of cultivating level as opposed to slope lands see Plog n.d., and Plog and Garrett 1972.)

Abstract:
In this article, the author considers the principles and technologies of such a direction of landscape design as geoplastics in the urban environment, its features, techniques, as well as the prevalence and trends in the world. The features of terracing slopes with the use of retaining walls are revealed; techniques for creating patio structures in the conditions of pits and recesses are studied; creating a natural environment on the original game structures; improving the microclimate with the use of structures – artificial hills.

Abstract:
We show how asymptotic reduction techniques are used to model the motion of sessile droplets in the presence of heat transfer, evaporation and nanoparticles. When nanoparticles are present in the drop, lubrication theory is used to model the contact line dynamics and the evolution of the nanoparticle concentration. The model accounts for the effects of surface tension, Marangoni stresses, evaporation and intermolecular forces; the effect of nanoparticles on the latter endows the film with structural disjoining pressure forces near the contact line. Our numerical simulations catalogue the different types of possible contact line dynamics, which range from spreading and retraction, to pinning and ‘terracing’; the latter phenomenon is caused by the effect of nanoparticles on the intermolecular forces.

Abstract:
This contribution reports the activities carried out by LamoLab, a non-governmental organization for multi-domain and multi-scale research applied to cultural terraced landscapes. Terracing and dry-stone walling have been internationally recognized as carriers of cultural values and traditional knowledge. Lamole in Chianti (Italy) has served as a primary case study of terraced vineyards, where interdisciplinary research has been converging for almost a decade. The evolution of multi-sensor data acquisition in different spectral ranges, data-driven modelling and multi-scalar approaches performed over the years are mentioned, with specific attention to the evaluation of microclimate variations induced by dry-stone walls and how they affect plant growth, ripening, and production. The results already obtained from data processing and analysis are described, although the work is still progressing. The ongoing research and future projects of LamoLab are reported for developing methodologies to understand the parameters that are critical for the effective restoration and functioning of the dry-stone walled vineyards and construct performance-oriented design strategies to enable knowledge-based design processes.

Abstract:
El estudio pretende profundizar el conocimiento de los procesos de antropización del paisaje costero entre Civitavecchia, al Norte, y Terracina, al Sur, centrando la atención en el sistema de torres defensivas como evidencia arquitectónica, aún visible, de un territorio en transformación, alterado por la urbanización, a menudo “espontánea”, que ha provocado, sobre todo en el siglo pasado, la expansión descontrolada de los asentamientos ilegales y la construcción de importantes infraestructuras. El trabajo profundiza en la compleja relación establecida entre el sistema costero de torres - hoy en día en una situación muy diferente a la del pasado pero todavía muy legible - por su función original de defensa y control, ya que estas arquitecturas han representado, en el pasado, fuertes señales en el territorio, elementos significativos de gran valor. Completos o reducidos a un estado de ruina, estos testimonios, en su mayoría desarmados a mediados del siglo XIX, son aún capaces de contar importantes acontecimientos históricos y arquitectónicos. El objetivo de este trabajo, a través del estudio de fuentes archivísticas, iconográficas y los levantamientos in situ de muchas de estas estructuras, es, además de investigar la historia, proponer acciones para la recuperación y valorización de estas fábricas.
