Christina Rossetti’s Speaking Likenesses: Different Forms of Travel in Victorian Children’s Literature
2011
Este artículo afirma que el interés victoriano por la reescritura de la literatura infantil va de la mano con su interés por la narrativa de viajes y de aventuras. Con la interpretación de diferentes formas de reescritura y de viajes, la edad de oro de la literatura infantil pone en relación el pasado y el presente. Dado que, tanto el acto de reescribir como el del viaje se encuentran en un lugar entremedias —entre pasado y presente, cerca y lejos, el texto original y su adaptación—, sugiero que la reescritura y el viaje colaboran en la narrativa infantil a la representación de la mujer errante e irónica. La primera parte del artículo describe la tradición de la narración y la adaptación de…
Transformation of the European security system in the context of current geopolitical challenges
2017
W artykule rozważa się problem modernizacji europejskiego systemu bezpieczeństwa w kontekście współczesnych wyzwań geopolitycznych, zwłaszcza agresywnej polityki Federacji Rosyjskiej. Przeprowadzono analizę kształtowania systemu europejskiego bezpieczeństwa, biorąc pod uwagę wielowymiarowość i zdolność systemu, wyznaczono czynniki zagrożenia i wyzwania, które decydują obecnie o jego funkcjonowaniu. Autorzy zwracają uwagę na nieefektywność europejskiego systemu bezpieczeństwa, jego problemy i możliwe sposoby jego reformowania. Przeanalizowane główne instytucje europejskiego systemu bezpieczeństwa: NATO (szczególny wkład tej struktury w gwarantowanie pokoju i bezpieczeństwa na kontynencie eur…
Lo spazio poetico al limitare del margine urbano
2018
The marginal space of the contemporary city no longer has a recognizable form. It has lost relationship with the natural horizon, renouncing however its own poetic vocation. Architecture has the task of reestablishing this relationship. Through the analysis of some projects by Francesco Venezia it is possible to show that contemporary architecture still has the proper instruments to recover the poetic space on the urban border.
Forward Kinematic Modelling with Radial Basis Function Neural Network Tuned with a Novel Meta-Heuristic Algorithm for Robotic Manipulators
2022
The complexity of forward kinematic modelling increases with the increase in the degrees of freedom for a manipulator. To reduce the computational weight and time lag for desired output transformation, this paper proposes a forward kinematic model mapped with the help of the Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) architecture tuned by a novel meta-heuristic algorithm, namely, the Cooperative Search Optimisation Algorithm (CSOA). The architecture presented is able to automatically learn the kinematic properties of the manipulator. Learning is accomplished iteratively based only on the observation of the input–output relationship. Related simulations are carried out on a 3-Degrees…
Efficacy of the fungicide valiphenal against crown rot of rose caused by Phytophthora citrophthora
2009
Crown and root rot caused by soilborne species of Phytophthora are common diseases of container-grown ornamental plants in nursery. Crown rot of Rose caused by P. citrophthora has been recently reported in Sicily (southern Italy). Valiphenal (IR 5885) is a systemic dipeptide fungicide of the valinamide class of compounds and is active against Oomycetes. This new fungicide is under development by the italian agrochemical company ISAGRO against powdery mildews of grapevine, potatoes and vegetables. In this study, the efficacy of Valiphenal and other experimental active ingredients was tested for the first time against crown rot of Rose. Phosetyl-Al (Aliette) was used as a reference product. M…

Molecular docking and pharmacogenomics of vinca alkaloids and their monomeric precursors, vindoline and catharanthine.
2011
International audience; Vinblastine and vincristine are dimeric indole alkaloids derived from (formerly: ). Their monomeric precursor molecules are vindoline and catharanthine. While vinblastine and vincristine are well-known mitotic spindle poisons, not much is known about vindoline and catharanthine. Vindoline and catharanthine showed weak cytotoxicity, while vinblastine, vincristine, and the semisynthetic vindesine and vinorelbine revealed high cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. This may reflect a general biological principle of poisonous plants. Highly toxic compounds are not only active towards predators, but also towards plant tissues. Hence, plants need mechanisms to protect themselv…
Isolation and characterization of intergeneric somatic hybrids in the Apocynaceae family
1991
Protoplasts were isolated from callus cultures of Rauwolfia serpentina Benth., Rhazya stricta Decaisne, and Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, or from leaves of Vinca minor L. Protoplast isolation, culture, and fusion techniques as well as hybrid screening systems were developed for these species, and hybrids were obtained. Hybrid combinations were Rauwolfia + Vinca, Rauwolfia + Catharanthus, Rauwolfia + Rhazya, and Catharanthus + Vinca. For hybrid isolation, the physiological complementation method was utilized. Analyses of the material obtained included a cytogenetic study of the chromosomes, a study of multiple molecular forms of transferases and esterases, and the blot hybridization of re…
