Interaspecific chemical variability and highlighting of chemotypes of leaf essential oils from Ravensara aromatica Sonnerat, a tree endemic to Madaga…

2006

Ravensara aromatica Sonnerat is a tree endemic to Madagascar. The essential oil extracted from the leaves is used in aromatherapy. Previous chemical studies have generated some confusion with regard to the chemical composition of this essential oil. In order to eliminate this uncertainty, we undertook a systematic evaluation of the chemical composition of essential oils from leaves of this species. The study focused on 28 individual samples formally identified as R. aromatica. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC and GC–MS. It was possible to distinguish four groups of trees through principal components analysis and agglomerative hierarchical clustering a…

Comparative GC-MS Analysis of Bay Leaf (Laurus nobilisL.) Essential Oils in Commercial Samples

2015

Chemical composition of Laurus nobilis essential oils traded as spice and medicinal items was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Sixty-four compounds accounting between 91–99% of the total oil was identified. Qualitative and quantitative differences were found among essential oils obtained from bay leaves used both for cooking and medicinal purposes. The oxygenated compounds were the principal fraction in all analyzed oils and consisted in oxygenated monoterpenes (73.13%), in medicinal essential oil and oxygenated monoterpenes (37.60 and 29.82%), oxygenated sesquiterpenes (15.98 and 22.99%), and phenylpropanoids (24.78 and 26.33%), respectively, in commercial food items. A hi…

Is it wrong to deliberately conceive or give birth to a child with mental retardation?

2002

This paper discusses the issues of deciding to have a child with mental retardation, and of terminating a pregnancy when the future child is known to have the same disability. I discuss these problems by criticizing a utilitarian argument, namely, that one should act in a way that results in less suffering and less limited opportunity in the world. My argument is that future parents ought to assume a strong responsibility towards the well-being of their prospective children when they decide to reproduce. The moral point in cases in which our acts affect the well-being of future children should be expressed strictly in terms of parents' culpability. Future children thus do not have current m…

Maximum bite force after the replacement of complete dentures.

2001

In complete denture wearers the maximum bite force (MBF) is known to be considerably lower than in dentate people. Low MBF might therefore be an indication of poor denture fit but there is limited evidence on this. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether MBF can be improved by the replacement of complete dentures for elderly people. Nine edentulous volunteers, average age 74·2 ± 5·5 years and average denture experience 19·4 ± 19·5 years (1–50 years), had replacement dentures made. Functional impressions were taken after border moulding using zinc oxide eugenol paste. After a rehearsal session, MBF was recorded with the old dentures, and with the new dentures immed…

Ospedale psichiatrico di Sassari

2015

Il testo è relativo all'Ospedale psichiatrico di Sassari, sorto alla fine dell'Ottocento e rimasto in funzione sino al 1998, è stata redatta nell'ambito della ricerca (PRIN 2008), "I complessi manicomiali in Italia tra Otto e Novecento. Atlante del patrimonio storico-architettonico ai fini della conoscenza e della valorizzazione", sviluppata da ricercatori della Seconda Università di Napoli (coordinamento nazionale), dei Politecnici di Milano e Torino, delle Università di Camerino, Palermo, Pisa e Reggio Calabria. La scheda illustra, attraverso i diversi testi e un vasto repertorio iconografico, costituito da disegni, immagini d’epoca e fotografie – sia l’origine sia le trasformazioni dei c…

Influence of cavity preparation technique (rotary vs. ultrasonic) on microleakage and marginal fit of six end-root filling materials

2010

Objectives: To evaluate in vitro the effect of cavity preparation with microburs and diamond-coated ultrasonic tips on the microleakage and marginal fit of six end-root filling materials. Study Design. The following materials were assessed: amalgam (Amalcap), zinc oxide eugenol (IRM), glass ionomer (Vitrebond), compomer (Cavalite), mineral particle aggregate (MTA) and composite (Clearfil). Cavity preparation was performed with microburs or diamond ultrasonic tips in single-root teeth. The seal was evaluated in two experiments: a microleakage assay on the passage of dye to the interface; and a scanning electron microscopy study and analysis of epoxy resin replicas, measuring the size of gaps…

AMPLIFICANDO TÉCNICAMENTE LA VIRTUD - UTOPÍA Y MORAL ENHANCEMENT

2017

En este artículo analizo el proyecto de perfeccionar moralmente al ser humano por mediode la eugenesia desde el ángulo brindado por la utopía. Ello nos permitirá conectar lostrabajos de la actual Moral Enhancement con obras literarias y teóricas del siglo XIX einicios del XX donde la confianza en el progreso de la ciencia y la tecnología ya alentaba laconvicción de que la humanidad sería mejorada artificialmente a todos los niveles en elfuturo, incluido el nivel moral. La exposición hará hincapié en las diferencias y similitudesexistentes entre los dos paradigmas eugenésicos (el victoriano y el liberal) que dichaconvicción ha originado hasta ahora. También en los impactos negativos que a mi…
