Polyphasic taxonomic characterization of Lactobacillus rossiae isolates from Belgian and Italian sourdoughs reveals intraspecific heterogeneity.

2009

Abstract (GTG) 5 -PCR fingerprinting and pheS sequence analysis of 18 Lactobacillus rossiae isolates, mainly originating from Belgian and Italian artisan sourdoughs, revealed intraspecies grouping as evidenced by the delineation of three and two subgroups, respectively. On the other hand, 16S rRNA and rpoA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridizations supported the accommodation of all isolates in a single species. No correlation between genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity was observed. Collectively, these data do not warrant taxonomic division of L. rossiae . On the other hand, the considerable differences in intraspecies sequence variation of L. rossiae isolates displayed by the pheS…

RENATO DE FUSCO e RAFFAELLA ROSA RUSCIANO, Design e Mezzogiorno tra storia e metafora, Progedit, Bari 2015

2016

Comunemente si pensa che il Mezzogiorno sia un luogo sospeso nel tempo, la cui cultura millenaria s’è per così dire cristallizzata, incapace di evolversi, da secoli, incastonata in un magnifico paesaggio che trae la sua bellezza da fortunate condizioni geoclimatiche. Perciò il titolo del recente saggio di De Fusco e Rusciano – Design e Mezzogiorno – deve apparire inizialmente ossimorico: il design come simbolo della modernità del Nord e il Mezzogiorno come simbolo del sottosviluppo del Sud d’Italia. I tempi di Federico II appartengono ai libri di storia, la stupefacente architettura arabo-normanna, il magnifico edificio della Zisa, capolavoro di fisica tecnica… sono ormai residui di una glo…

Di nuovo schiave. Donne e distopia (2007-2022)

2022

Il saggio analizza le peculiarità e le costanti della narrativa distopica scritta da donne in Italia lungo un arco di tempo che va dal 2007 al 2022. Riallacciandosi a una tradizione mainstream che in ambito anglosassone ha prodotto libri di successo come The Handmaid’s Tale di Margaret Atwood, le distopie italiane degli ultimi anni mettono in scena un futuro in cui a dominare è una società marcatamente patriarcale che esercita un controllo violento sul corpo e sull’identità femminili. Il cupo futuro raccontato da Laura Pugno, Nicoletta Vallorani, Maria Rosa Cutrufelli, Laura Pariani e altre scrittrici italiane nasce dall’amplificazione di stereotipi sessuali radicati nel presente e vuole es…

Rosalia La Franca: Thought and Practice

2017

The study proposes an iconographic apparatus with sketches, annotations, schemes and geometric matrices which often accompanies the critical and pragmatic approach of Rosalia La Franca. These graphic and conceptual elements determine the graphic skeleton of her research, through which it is possible to outline the path that from time to time Rosalia La Franca follows to recognize the ‘questionable value of knowledge’.

Rhodiola rosea Impairs Acquisition and Expression of Conditioned Place Preference Induced by Cocaine

2013

A novel approach to the treatment of adverse effects of drugs of abuse is one which makes use of natural products. The present study investigated the effect ofRhodiola roseaL. hydroalcoholic extract (RHO) on cocaine-induced hyperactivity and conditioned place preference (CPP) in mice. In a first experiment, mice received RHO (15, 20 or 25 mg/kg, IG), cocaine (25 mg/kg, i.p.) (COC), or a combination of both drugs (COC + RHO15, COC + RHO20, and COC + RHO25), and their locomotor activity was evaluated. In a second experiment, the effects of RHO on the acquisition, expression, and reinstatement of cocaine CPP (induced by drug priming or social defeat stress) were evaluated. RHO alone did not in…

Efficienza e redditività di un'impresa di allevamento di tonno rosso mediterraneo

2008

Al fine di valutare gli aspetti economici, reddituali e finanziari della gestione aziendale di un’impresa siciliana di allevamento di tonno rosso mediterraneo, sono state analizzate le informazioni riportate a consuntivo nei bilanci contabili degli anni 2004, 2005 e 2006 regolarmente depositati presso il Registro delle Imprese, in cui sono trascritti gli elementi patrimoniali e i risultati economici degli esercizi conclusi il 31 dicembre per ciascuno dei tre esercizi amministrativi esaminati. In particolare, sono state dapprima esaminate le principali poste dello stato patrimoniale riclassificato secondo criteri “finanziari” (di liquidità delle fonti e di esigibilità degli impieghi), e succ…

Sea urchin embryos as an in vivo model for the assessment of manganese toxicity: developmental and stress response effects.

2009

In the marine environment increasing concentrations of bio-available compounds often result from anthropogenic activities. Among metal ions, manganese represents a new emergent factor in environmental contamination. Here, we studied the effects of manganese on Paracentrotus lividus sea urchin embryos using biological and biochemical approaches for the analysis of impact on development, tissue accumulation and stress markers. Embryos were continuously exposed from fertilization to manganese at concentrations ranging from 1.0 to 61.6 mg l(-1), monitored for developmental abnormalities at 48 h after fertilization, and used for atomic spectrometric analysis at various times from 6 to 72 h. We f…

Geomaterials in green building practices: comparative characterization of commercially available clay-based plasters

2013

Three pre-mixed powdered clay-based (earthen) plasters produced in Europe and specifically designed for wall undercoating were analyzed in this paper. These materials are commercially available and successfully employed in green building practices all over the world. Their compositional and textural characteristics, as well as plastic behaviour were investigated through a multi-analytical approach: X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), polarized light microscopy (PLM), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRFS), scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), grain-size distribution (GSD) and semi-empirical tests (Atterberg…

Fifth Generation Networking Principles for a Service Driven Future Internet Architecture

2010

Published version of an article published in Wireless Personal Communications, vol. 57:393-411. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-010-0076-7 The vision of all-IP networks where IP forms the simple common layer understandable across the whole network has undeniable advantages. However, such simplicity comes as a major hurdle to flexibility and functionality to the architecture. This is evident from the increasingly numerous and complex engineering solutions and optimizations required to accommodate essential qualities like mobility, security, realtime communication support etc or to mitigate the shortcomings inherent in the 'traditional Internet' architec…
