2014
Per due milioni di anni abbiamo vissuto a contatto con il fuori, non nel buio delle grotte, ma in luoghi intermedi tra il chiuso e l’aperto: spalle alla roccia, occhi nella valle. Pochi secoli di civiltà industriale e di urbanesimo soffocante ci hanno abituato a vivere in scatole da scarpe. Tutto l’abitare va ripensato da qui, dalla constatazione che eravamo fatti per praterie e foreste, che ci piaceva e ancora ci piace vivere nell’aperto, che facevamo case temporanee, leggere, che avevamo di meno e immaginavamo di più. Sono le esperienze più estreme, quelle del limite e del lontano, che hanno qualcosa da dire sul fare casa oggi: capanne, bivacchi, tende, rifugi, ripari di fortuna, un’archi…
Populations of breeding birds in Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands
2013
Data about breeding populations of birds in the Antarctica are rare and fragmented. Thus, information about the status of the breeding populations of Antarctic birds is crucial given the current scenario of climate change, which is particularly acute in Antarctica. This paper presents new information about the populations of the Antarctic tern Sterna vittata, the kelp gull Larus dominicanus, the southern giant petrel Macronectes giganteus, the Antarctic skua Catharacta antarctica lonnbergi, the chinstrap penguin Pygoscelis antarctica and the gentoo penguin Pygoscelis papua on Byers Peninsula (Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands). We used line transects counts to estimate both densitie…
THE ROLES OF PLANT VOLATILES AND THEIR POTENTIAL USE AS FLY ATTRACTANTS
2014
The essential oils composition of the skin, pulp and seeds from fruits of two Sicilian cultivars of Opuntia ficus-indica (cv. Sanguigna and cv. Surfarina has been obtainedby hydrodistillation and the possible semiochemical roles have been investigated comparing the data with those reported in the literature. Several compounds identified in this study have been reported to influence the behaviour of Ceratitis capitata, a phytophagous which causes severe damages to severalcrops including O. ficus-indica and the kairomonal activity of the odour of the fruits seems provided by a blend of compounds found in the various matrices analysed. In sapromyiophilous plants, up to date, long range attract…
Influence of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein promoter polymorphism -493 GT on fasting plasma triglyceride values and interaction with treatm…
2005
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C). Phenotypic expression is highly variable, being influenced by diet, age, gender, body mass index, apolipoprotein E genotype and type of LDL-receptor gene mutation. Microsomal triglyceride (TG) transfer protein (MTP) is a protein involved in lipid metabolism. Polymorphism MTP -493 GT has been shown to modulate lipid levels in several populations. To analyse the effect of this polymorphism in the lipid phenotype expression of FH and treatment response, we studied a sample of 222 Spanish FH patients, of whom 147 were studied before and after trea…
Identification of stiffness,dissipation and input parameters of randomly excited non-linear systems: Capability of restricted potential models (RPM)
2006
Abstract A dynamic identification technique in the time domain for time invariant systems under random external forces is presented. This technique is based on the use of the class of restricted potential models (RPM), which are characterized by a non-linear stiffness and a special form of damping, that is a product of the input power spectral density (PSD) matrix and the velocity gradient of a non-linear function of the total mechanical energy. By applying It o ^ stochastic differential calculus and by specific analytical manipulations, some algebraic equations, depending on the response statistics and on the mechanic parameters that characterize RPM, are obtained. These equations can be u…
Impulsive Tests on Historical Structures: The Dome of Teatro Massimo in Palermo
2016
Cultural heritage is the set of things, that having particular historical cultural and aesthetic are of public interest and constitute the wealth and civilization of a place and its people. Sharpen up methodologies aimed at safeguarding of monuments is crucial because the future may have in mind the historical past. Italy is a country that has invested heavily on its historical memory returned in large part by the historical building or the monuments. Furthermore, culture represents a fundamental indicator of the growth of the culture of a country. Consider a monitoring project of one of the most Impressive theater in the world, like “Teatro Massimo” in Palermo (Italy), means to add value t…
Computational approach to design of aptamers to the receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2
2021
The aim of the research. In this work, in silico selection of DNA-aptamers to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was performed using molecular modeling methods. Material and methods. A new computational approach to aptamer in silico selection is based on a cycle of simulations, including the stages of molecular modeling, molecular docking, molecular dynamic simulations, and quantum chemical calculations. To verify the obtained calculated results flow cytometry, fluorescence polarization, and small-angle X-ray scattering methods were applied. Results. An initial library consisted of 256 16-mer oligonucleotides was modeled. Based on molecular docking results, th…

Mas d’Is (Penàguila, Alicante): farms and Early Neolithic causewayed camps in the Serpis valley
2003
In this paper, results from recent archaeological field work carried out in the Neolithic village of Mas d’Is (Penàguila, Alicante) are presented. We focus on an important set of domestic and monumental architectural structures. Integration of data from the site in a regional context allows us to rethink the social relations of the first farmers in the area. At the same time, radiocarbon data from our excavations show a finer chronology of the neolithization in Western Mediterranean, and what is more important to approach its historical process.
Beyond the myth: A social interpretation about the mosaic of the Twelve Labours of Hercules (Liria, Valencia)
2018
On the occasion of the centenary of the mosaic’s discovery of the Twelve Labours of Hercules in Liria (Valencia), this article aims to approach to some aspects overlooked in previous works. Within the study of Roman domestic spaces, the room’s decoration is an essential factor in order to understand its function. Over the years, several studies have focused their efforts on a descriptive analysis of the mosaic, mentioning only the social interpretation, whereas the current trends try to analyze other aspects such as the study of elites and their symbolism. For this reason, our goal in this article is to analyze the social aspect of this pavement, which particular choice of the central motif…
