Evolution of the complex permittivity of biological tissue at microwaves ranges: Correlation study with burn depth

2014

The evolution of the muscle tissue's complex permittivity represents a growing interest in terms of characterization in medicine and biology. The influence of a burned part on the permittivity is not very developed. In this work, an estimation of the complex permittivity of biological tissues is performed as a function of the depth of burn tissues. The sensor, an open-ended coaxial probe, is placed directly against each sample. The evolution of …

Probing fast oscillating scalar dark matter with atoms and molecules

2021

Light scalar Dark Matter with scalar couplings to matter is expected within several scenarios to induce variations in the fundamental constants of nature. Such variations can be searched for, among other ways, via atomic spectroscopy. Sensitive atomic observables arise primarily due to possible changes in the fine-structure constant or the electron mass. Most of the searches to date have focused on slow variations of the constants (i.e. modulati…

Historical coin collection

The collection of 61 cons dating back from late medieval times was discovered in Byczyna (Opole region) during archeological examinations of a cemetery near a local evangelical church of St Nicholas. The excavations were conducted in 2009-2014 and revealed 1087 graves in a regular pattern. The coins were connected to a ritual that required leaving a coin with a deceased body to ensure the passage to the other world. The 54 coins were precisely dated (the oldest dating to the 1330s and the newest to 1750s), with the remailing specimens too damaged to identify. They are described in academic and popular publications by dr. Magdalena Przysiężna-Pizarska

Collection of Historical Instruments of Physics

This huge collection of instruments (about 500) has been collected over time since 1811, when the physicist Domenico Scinà obtained the chair of Experimental Physics. The collection includes pieces from different branches of Physics, such as mechanics, calorimetry, acoustics, electromagnetism and optics.

Quantitative genetic analysis of floral traits shows current limits but potential evolution in the wild

2023

The vast variation in floral traits across angiosperms is often interpreted as the result of adaptation to pollinators. However, studies in wild populations often find no evidence of pollinator-mediated selection on flowers. Evolutionary theory predicts this could be the outcome of periods of stasis under stable conditions, followed by shorter periods of pollinator change that provide selection for innovative phenotypes. We asked if periods of s…

Prison of the Penitenziati

This 16th century building for a long time housed the Inquisition prisons and then the Royal Court. It collects several graffiti, living proof of the dark and terrible time of Inquisition, thanks to the meticulous work of the Palermitan ethnologist Giuseppe Pitrè, that brought them to light at the beginning of the 20th century.

Psychology of organizational behavior

Research in Work Psychology, Organizations, and Human Resources has experienced significant development in recent decades, addressing challenges of important scientific and practical/professional significance. This area of psychosocial research covers a wide range of issues and themes. The research group "Organizational Behavioral Psychology," with a long history of investigation, focuses its research on the study of four basic aspects of this area of scientific research. Firstly, it addresses the study of two fundamental components for individuals and organizations: job well-being in its different facets and effective performance that contributes to organizational results. Secondly, and as…

Addition of dianions of carboxylic acids to imines. Influence of the acid in the outcome of the reaction

2009

The addition of different carboxylic acids dianions to N-benzylidenebenzeneamine have been studied. The outcome of the reaction depends on the acid. Saturated ones lead to β-aminoacids with good yields and syn-selectivity whereas α,β-unsaturated ones lead to α− and γ− regioisomers with a regioselectivity that depends on the steric hindrance around the reactive centre. From some of these unsaturated acids, polyunsaturated carboxylic acids can be …
