- The Padua Wall: a Wall of Solid Fear, If there is a lucky relevance in the concept of liquid fear, it is the physical image of what, not having a solid content, slides over, trickles through chinks and floods any surface that comes across. If applied to a specific case, the concept materialises in its solid ambivalence. In the Padua case under examination, the municipality makes the choice, explosive from a communication perspective, to par8 tially isolate - with an iron fence, the so-called wall - an inhabited area, considered out of control because of the growing flow of regular and irregular immigrants, of crime episodes, of drug dealing, of acts of intolerance by some of the residents. The area will be evacuated due to a serious sanitary emergence, the residents of that compound will be transferred in smaller groups in other buildings in the city. The fear of residents of the neighbouring area to find drug dealers in their homes will fade away. The solidity of an extreme measure will stay, as well as having indicated a solution in front of a failure, that is what terrifies most people. Key words: local government, urban policies, security strategies.

The Riebeckite-Orthophyre of the Holy Isle.—Four Occuxrences of acid and sub-acid igneous rocks containing the rare soda-amphibole riebeckite have been recognized in Great Britain, of which that of Ailsa Craig is the best known. The occurrences of Ailsa Craig and Mynydd Mawr, Carnarvonshire, are riebeckite-microgranites or paisanites. They contain ragged moss-like areas of riebeckite, together with microphenocrysts of quartz and alkalifelspar, in a microcrystalline groundmass of quartz and felspar. Riebeckite was also found by Dr. Teall in the granophyre of Meall Dearg and the neighbouring area of Druim an Eidhne, Skye. Harker described the riebeckite in these rocks as occurring in two forms, one having the usual ragged, sponge-like appearance, and the other being idiomorphic, the faces in the prism zone being well-defined, but with irregular terminations. The fourth occurrence differs somewhat from the others. This rock occurs as an intrusion into the Upper Old Red Sandstone, or Calciferous Sandstone of Easter Eildon Hill, Melrose, and was described by Barron as riebeckite-trachyte or phonolite. It consists principally of sanidine, occurring both as microphenocrysts and in the groundmass, with interstitial patches of riebeckite, and a little nepheline. Harker describes the rock as an orthophyre.

Lichen Flora

The lichens of the Zapadny Kotlin Protected Area and neighbouring area of the fort «Rif» (Saint Petersburg, Russia) have been investigated for the first time. Altogether 181 species of lichen-forming, lichenicolous and non-lichenized fungi are reported from the protected area. Bacidina sulphurella (Samp.) M. Hauck et V. Wirth is new for Russia, Arthonia phaeophysciae Grube et Matzer is published for the first time for North-Western European Russia, and 10 species are new to St. Petersburg. Three species included in the Red Data Book of St. Petersburg (Prilozhenie…, 2014) are known from the Zapadny Kotlin Protected Area: Arthonia helvola (Nyl.) Nyl., Pleurosticta acetabulum (Neck.) Elix et Lumbsch and Ramalina dilacerata (Hoffm.) Hoffm. In spite of maritime position, there are no specific maritime elements in the lichen flora of this area.

This paper examines the history of glass colouring. It reviews Kitāb al-Durra al-maknūna of Jābir ibn Ḥayyān, which deals with the subject. The manuscript of this practical treatise was discovered recently. Part one of the paper deals with Jābir as a philosopher and chemist. The art of lustre-painting on glass originated in Syria during the Umayyad Caliphate in the eighth century and was soon practised in the neighbouring area. The paper reviews Arabic literature that deals with the colouring of glass until the 13th century, and with pre-Islamic and Latin books of recipes that deal with glass colouring. Recipes for cast coloured glass are very few and scant in non-Arabic literature, and lustre-painting on glass was not mentioned in any treatise outside Arabic, even in the works of Theophilus and Neri. The colouring of glass gemstones by colour diffusion is not mentioned also. The paper compares the recipes of Kitāb al-Durra with the results of modern analysis of existing Islamic stained glass objects. There is a close correspondence, and the main indispensable ingredients in both cases are silver and copper compounds. Part one ends with an account of lāzaward as cobalt oxide in glass colouring. Part two of the paper gives a representative selection of recipes from Kitāb al-Durra for the three methods of glass colouring.

This work presents a catalogue of the tsunamis generated in the seas watering the Italian coasts, including the neighbouring area of Côte d'Azur (France). Events generated far from Italy and affecting the Italian coasts are not taken into account here. The catalogue, that we will also call the Quick-Look Catalog (QLC), is organised in three main sections that are named the Quick-Look Table, the Quick-Look Accounts File and the References File, having the respective abbreviations of QLT, QLAF and RF. The QLT is a synoptic table containing the relevant information available for each event, one table row corresponding to one event. More details are provided in the QLAF, where each event is dedicated a specific subsection: here the description of the tsunami includes all essential aspects that are suitably referenced and is preceded by a concise report concerning the tsunami cause. Lastly, the RF is the list of all the papers and publications quoted in the QLT and QLAF. Notice that efforts have been made to qualify each event by means of contemporaneous sources, although later sources and indirect sources, such as existing catalogues, have not been disregarded. Besides, specific recent studies on the events have been given special mention. In this work some general review of the past catalogues of tsunamis and of recent trends in the subject are expressed. Particularly, great attention is given to analysing the CFB of the Italian tsunamis due to Caputo and his collaborators (Caputo and Faita, 1984; Bedosti and Caputo, 1986), the acronym being formed by the ordered initials of the authors. Motivations clarifying the need for a new catalogue of the Italian tsunamis are illustrated circumstantially. The very different philosophies that are at the basis of the CFB and of the present QLC lead to quite diverse products and results, that are summarised by a table where the events included in the CFB and in the QLC are compared: the net effect of the rigorous scrutiny applied to the sources and of the coherent analysis applied to the data is that only 67 events are included in the QLC, which is about one third of the events that can be counted in the CFB.
