Single and Double Beta-DecayQValues among the TripletZr96,Nb96, andMo96
2016
The atomic mass relations among the mass triplet ^{96}Zr, ^{96}Nb, and ^{96}Mo have been determined by means of high-precision mass measurements using the JYFLTRAP mass spectrometer at the IGISOL facility of the University of Jyvaskyla. We report Q values for the ^{96}Zr single and double β decays to ^{96}Nb and ^{96}Mo, as well as the Q value for the ^{96}Nb single β decay to ^{96}Mo, which are Q_{β}(^{96}Zr)=163.96(13), Q_{ββ}(^{96}Zr)=3356.097(86), and Q_{β}(^{96}Nb)=3192.05(16) keV. Of special importance is the ^{96}Zr single β-decay Q value, which has never been determined directly. The single β decay, whose main branch is fourfold unique forbidden, is an alternative decay path to the…
High-resolution spectroscopy of two metal-poor red giants: HD 232078 and HD 218732
2010
An abundance analysis for 35 chemical elements based on a high-resolution (R = 67 000) optical spectra of two metal-poor ([Fe/H] ≈ - 1.50) halo red giants, HD 232078 and HD 218732, is presented. Abundances of 10 chemical elements were derived for the first time. Both red giants are chromospherically active and optically variable, located close to the red giant branch tip. Abundances of both stars generally follow typical halo star abundance distribution, while HD 218732 should have experienced a deep mixing episode and could be a first ascent asymptotic giant branch star.
Rigenerazione urbana, innovazione sociale e cultura del progetto
2016
Nel volume, che raccoglie scritti di vari autori, sono illustrati due fatti concreti di trasformazione urbana che riflettono le nuove condizioni di cambiamento nelle regioni mediterranee caratterizzate da forte crisi sociale, ambientale, economica e sopratutto culturale: Brancaccio, noto quartiere di Palermo, sviluppatosi in età moderna a partire dal complesso di Maredolce, e Favara, comune di Agrigento, che possono essere considerati due contesti urbani che bene rappresentano il margine estremo dell'Europa.
Pleistocene allopatric differentiation followed by recent range expansion explains the distribution and molecular diversity of two congeneric crustac…
2021
AbstractPleistocene glaciations had a tremendous impact on the biota across the Palaearctic, resulting in strong phylogeographic signals of range contraction and rapid postglacial recolonization of the deglaciated areas. Here, we explore the diversity patterns and history of two sibling species of passively dispersing taxa typical of temporary ponds, fairy shrimps (Anostraca). We combine mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear (ITS2 and 18S) markers to conduct a range-wide phylogeographic study including 56 populations of Branchinecta ferox and Branchinecta orientalis in the Palaearctic. Specifically, we investigate whether their largely overlapping ranges in Europe resulted from allopatric differe…
A food borne outbreak of Salmonella enterica serotype Brandenburg as a hint to compare human, animal and food isolates identified in the years 2005-2…
2011
Introduction. There are only a few reported cases of Salmonella enterica serotype Brandenburg foodborne outbreaks in the literature. In Italy Brandenburg is consistently present among the top-ten serotypes from human source, but at low prevalences. Methods. Fifty-five S. Brandenburg isolates from human, animal, environmental and food sources, including twelve isolates from a foodborne outbreak, were genotyped by PFGE. Results and Discussion. Eight pulsogroups and 19 pulsotypes were detected, with a unique pulsotype being attributed to the outbreak strains. Molecular subtyping can reliably complement the epidemiological investigations. Moreover, mapping molecular types of Salmonella isolates…
The overall classification of residential buildings: Possible role of tourist EU Ecolabel award scheme
2012
Abstract The debate on the environmental performance of buildings and their classification is continuously rising and deeply involves all actors of the sector, from researchers to technicians and from owners to real estate managers. In the field, the EU has created a panel that is currently working on defining the criteria for attributing an Ecolabel award to a building. However, despite the enormous efforts made by administrative and academic institutions, a suitable and widely available scheme for operators to assess the environmental performance of a building is far from being established. To help provide a solution to the problem, the possibility of adopting the EU Ecolabel scheme estab…
L'ora della merenda. Regimi alimentari e significazione
2013
Vorrei provare a lavorare sulla questione dei regimi alimentari, intesi in senso lato, non immediatamente medico-salutista, i quali sono da intendere a tutti gli effetti come regimi di senso. L’idea è quella di riprendere alcune analisi socio-antropologiche praticate da Mary Douglas (1982) a proposito del sistema alimentare degli operai inglesi, che hanno circolato molto poco fra i semiologi pur essendo vere e proprie analisi semiotiche sans le savoir. Seguendo i suggerimenti impliciti nei risultati della Douglas, sceglierò come oggetto d’analisi il vasto regime dietetico-semiotico della merenda (e, vedremo, di quel suo curioso diminutivo/accrescitivo che è la merendina), ossia di quel mome…

The promotion of a tourist destination by its sensorial perspective definition
2016
In the last years there has been a special attention towards sensory marketing and experiential economy (Hulten, Broweus & Dijk, 2009). Some related contributions (Kim, Ritchie & Tung, 2010; Volo, 2010) in tourism have payed attention to a possible service customization in terms of sensorial stimuli that can be effective for the customers (Scott, Laws & Boksberger, 2010). The literature has recently emphasized the importance of the senses through which to perceive and know an area for a more complete tourist experience (Cherifi, 2015; Liu, Wang, Liu & Deng, 2005). Considering that the brand of a tourist destination expresses its identity and it should represent the synthesis of its promotio…
Store Brands in Tourist Services
2016
A current trend in retailing is the use of a brand extension strategy by supermarkets and hypermarkets, which enhances the store brand’s presence in a growing number of product categories. In the travel services domain, research on store brand extension is scarce. This research paper aims to fill in a gap on brand extension of current traditional store brands to travel services. Based on a sample of 608 individuals, our findings suggest that the likelihood of choosing a travel service offered by a local retailer (hypermarket/supermarket) is directly and positively conditioned by (1) the individual’s overall attitude towards store brands, (2) customer perception of the retailer’s trustworthi…
