Vicino al ponticello la corda risulta essere dura e resistente: qui l’arco dev’essere condotto lentamente e con molta pressione. Vicino alla tastiera, al contrario, la corda cede anche ad una pressione minima e si deve condurre l’arco rapidamente e con leggerezza. Per ottenere un suono puro bisogna esercitare soltanto la pressione necessaria rispetto alla velocità dell’arco: una pressione eccessiva comprime la vibrazione su entrambi i lati della corda stessa e soffoca il suono.
Translation - English
Close to the bridge, the string is strong and resistant: here the bow must be handled slowly and with ample pressure. Close to the fingerboard, on the other hand, the string gives way to minimal pressure and the bow must be handled quickly and lightly. In order to obtain a pure sound, one need only exert the necessary pressure with respect to the speed of the bow: excessive pressure compresses the vibration on both sides of the string itself and stifles the sound.

Gestire diversa tipologia di bollettazione per clienti diversi

La bollettazione della merce deve essere un
processo totalmente parametrizzabile in modo da
andare incontro alle esigenze di tutti i clienti: dalla
bollettazione elettronica sino alla bollettazione su
carta deve essere possibile definire tutta una serie
di parametri a seconda del cliente (informazioni
riportate, posizione delle informazioni, ecc.)
Translation - English
Managing different types of billing for different clients.

The billing of goods has to be an entirely customizable process - from electronic billing to paper billing - so as to meet the requirements of each client. A whole series of parameters must be defined according to each client (based on the information reported, the location of the information, etc.).

e. Rollatura del filetto: operazione finale molto delicata,
dove la vite passa attraverso dei rulli zigrinati, in grado
di deformare il materiale con la creazione del filetto. In
questa fase, complessa da simulare per le molte rotazioni
che si ottengono, si punta a valutare la corretta crescita
del materiale a formare i denti in rilievo.
Translation - English
e. Thread rolling: the final, very delicate, operation. Here the thread passes through knurled rollers, which are capable of shifting the material and creating the thread. In this stage, difficult to simulate due to the number of rotations involved, we try to evaluate the correct amount of material increase involved in forming the threads.
English to Italian: North Korea trip -
General field: Other
Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English
As it happens, the North Korean customs point was directly in front of our hotel; this makes sense,
since it is the sole hotel for those few tourists who are admitted entry. We filed in lines and had the
guards inspect our papers one by one. Handing them my United States passport, the guard inspected
every line in it much longer than other people’s passports. Finally, seeing everything was in order, he
let out a sigh of disappointment and approved it. I was in North Korea.
Translation - Italian
Proprio di fronte al nostro hotel si trovava la dogana nordcoreana: non a caso dal momento che
quello era l’unico albergo per turisti. Ci mettemmo in fila per mostrare i nostri documenti. Con il
mio passaporto americano fui trattenuto piu’ a lungo degli altri ed il mio passaporto ispezionato
con estrema meticolosità. Finalmente, forse a malincuore, ma mi lasciarono andare. Ero nella
Corea del Nord!
