Electrochemical treatment of aqueous solutions containing one or many organic pollutants at boron doped diamond anodes. Theoretical modeling and expe…
2012
The electrochemical oxidation of organics in water at boron doped diamonds (BDD) was experimentally investigated with the aim to discuss the correlations among the conversion of the pollutants and the instantaneous current efficiency ICE with the operative conditions. A simple theoretical model previously developed for the oxidation of oxalic acid accounting for the cases of mass transfer control, oxidation reaction control and mixed kinetic regimes was adopted and extended to challenge its predictive capability in the case of organics of different nature and in systems with more pollutants. A quite good agreement, between theoretical predictions and experimental data pertaining to the elec…
I giogali di diamanti ed oro dei Branciforti
2019
Si analizzano i preziosi monili elencati negli inventari dei Branciforti. Emergono svariate tipologie di "giogali" con i quali si ornavano i protagonisti dell'importante casato, da Ottavio ad Antonio, a Ercole e Giuseppe I, talora anche individuabili nei loro ritratti, custoditi dagli eredi. We analyze the precious jewels listed in the Branciforti inventories. Various types of "giogali" emerge with which the protagonists of the important family were adorned, from Octavius to Anthony, Hercules and Joseph I, sometimes also identifiable in their portraits, kept by their heirs.
The relation between human values and perceived situation characteristics in everyday life
2018
Values refer to abstract beliefs which serve as guidelines in peoples’ life and affect the way people and events are evaluated. Simultaneously, unlike attitudes, values transcend specific actions, and situations. While recent research showed that values are related to the attention and interpretation of situational information in standardized laboratory settings, up to date hardly any empirical work investigated how values relate to situation perception in daily life. In our study, we assessed the relation between the endorsement of human values and situation characteristics (i.e., the 8 DIAMONDS). Using the Day Reconstruction Method in two samples (German and US-American), we found that es…
