S. Antonio Abate Church

This small and elegant chapel, dedicated to S. Antonio Abate, whose devotees were the crusaders coming back from Holy Places, was commissioned by Manfredi I. It is in fact the private chapel of the Chiaramonte family. Among its peculiarities, high on a wall, there is the discovery of a Christ face portray similar to that one painted on a roof beam of the Sala Magna of the Steri.

Decay and Fission Hindrance of Two- and Four-QuasiparticleKIsomers inRf254

2015

Two isomers decaying by electromagnetic transitions with half-lives of 4.7(1.1) and 247(73) μs have been discovered in the heavy ^{254}Rf nucleus. The observation of the shorter-lived isomer was made possible by a novel application of a digital data acquisition system. The isomers were interpreted as the K^{π}=8^{-}, ν^{2}(7/2^{+}[624],9/2^{-}[734]) two-quasineutron and the K^{π}=16^{+}, 8^{-}ν^{2}(7/2^{+}[624],9/2^{-}[734])⊗8^{-}π^{2}(7/2^{-}[514],9/2^{+}[624]) four-quasiparticle configurations, respectively. Surprisingly, the lifetime of the two-quasiparticle isomer is more than 4 orders of magnitude shorter than what has been observed for analogous isomers in the lighter N=150 isotones. …

La fortuna “imperial” de las escaleras dobles en la España del siglo XVIII

2023

La ingeniosa utilización de escaleras dobles en la España del siglo XVIII se remontaba a tres tipologías básicas desarrolladas a lo largo del siglo XVI para los alcázares regios de Madrid (B1) y Toledo (C1) y para el monasterio de El Escorial (D1). Este artículo se fija en sus derivaciones (denominadas B2, C2, D2, etcétera), deteniéndose en los ejemplos más espectaculares. Criterios formales como el orden y la simetría interactuaban con requisitos funcionales (acceso lateral o axial y flujo circulatorio o emplazamiento estratégico dentro del edificio) conformándose a su vez con nociones de decoro que, especialmente en lo tocante a la arquitectura civil, dependían del rango del comitente. La…

Morphology and Molecules in Animal Systematics

Our studies concentrate mainly on solving the problems of the phylogenetic relationships among insects at various taxonomic levels in Hemiptera and Lepidoptera using morphological and molecular characters. A prediction of the secondary structures of mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences is also used in the phylogenetic analyses. Next year, our team will get another science lab (the Bioinformatic Methods of Agrocenoses Analysis Laboratory) in a new building of the University of Opole. The laboratory equipment will broaden our interest in molecular genetic studies of non-model organisms, i.e., insect crop-pests and invasive species. Moreover, it will also allow starting the resear…

Flora of Middle Asia collection

The collection of vascular plants from Middle Asia (mainly Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with some from Uzbekistan). It consists of approx. 15,000 specimens with ca. 6,000 identified. They were collected during 2006-2021 in almost all vegetation types and habitats of the Global Hotspot of Biodiversity “Mountains of Central Asia”. The collection was used to comparative studies on several groups of species and is the voucher collection for a number of ecological studies.

Baldone Observatory

Baldone Observatory - an object of national significance and the only base of professional optical astronomical observations in Latvia - is currently the basic structure of the Institute of Astronomy of the University of Latvia. The Schmidt Telescope, a unique large-field instrument, is the largest in the Baltics and the twelfth largest telescope of such a system in the world. The telescope is designed for both direct and spectral observations of celestial bodies. Baldone Observatory is the only professional observatory in Latvia, which deals with observations in the optical range.

True Bugs Collection (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)

A true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) collection at the University Opole contains several thousand specimens, including more than a hundred types representing mainly three families, i.e. Cydnidae (burrowing bugs), Tingidae (lace bugs) and Dinidoridae. The collection covers almost all zoogeographical regions of the World, but mostly concentrates on tropical Africa, Australia, the Oriental Region and the Palaearctics.

Aspetti igienico-sanitari dei prodotti vegetali di IV gamma

2017

Fresh vegetables are recommended for the daily diet because of their low caloric content, high amount of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Furthermore, these foods are source of various phytochemical compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids and sterols exerting antioxidant activity. Some epidemiological and clinical studies clearly showed that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables might reduce the risk of some diseases, including some forms of cancer. Modern consumers pay a great attention to the “convenience foods”, foods characterized by ease of consumption. In particular, ready-to-eat products maintain almost all characteristics of fresh harvested products. These products are minimally proce…

Positive Learning at Risk in the Age of Information

Information and communication technology has an immense influence on our lives, little is understood about its particular effects on the way we learn. In the Age of Information, scientific knowledge has to compete against misinformation and biased data spread through social and mass media. These conditions pose hazards for learning in formal and informal environments. The international research program "Positive Learning in the Age of Information" (PLATO), established in 2016, unites outstanding expertise from various disciplines with technological innovation in information processing to investigate learning in our knowledgeand multimedia-based society in a vital scientifically future-orien…

Vitellogenin-like A–associated shifts in social cue responsiveness regulate behavioral task specialization in an ant

2018

Division of labor and task specialization explain the success of human and insect societies. Social insect colonies are characterized by division of labor, with workers specializing in brood care early and foraging later in life. Theory posits that this task switching requires shifts in responsiveness to task-related cues, yet experimental evidence is weak. Here, we show that a Vitellogenin (Vg) ortholog identified in an RNAseq study on the ant T. longispinosus is involved in this process: using phylogenetic analyses of Vg and Vg-like genes, we firstly show that this candidate gene does not cluster with the intensively studied honey bee Vg but falls into a separate Vg-like A cluster. Second…
