Uno sguardo sociologico sull'arte: dalla morte dell'autore alla nascita del fruitore.
2010
Analisi delle trasformazioni sociali dei contesti di produzione, diffusione e ricezione dell'opera d'arte in Italia, alla luce dei più recenti approcci della sociologia dell'arte e delle riflessioni scientifiche sul recente cambiamento nel rapporto tra produttore e fruitore dll'opera d'arte nell'era dei media elettronici.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging and low temperature storage extend marketability of cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.)
2022
Cherimoya is a subtropical fruit characterized by a delicious, sweet flavor and beneficial health properties, which found suitable growing conditions in the South of Italy. However, the marketing of this product is halted by its high perishability, which limits the shelf-life of the fresh fruit to few days after harvest and does not allow for commercialization beyond local markets. Studies have shown that storage of this fruit in controlled atmosphere, using Modified Atmosphere Packaging technologies, extended the post-harvest life of Cherimoya, but little is still known about the evolution of its sensory, nutraceutical and microbiological characteristics during such storage period. In this…
ESIGENZE E REQUISITI NELLE PASSERELLE DEI SITI ARCHEOLOGICI
2016
C'è stato un interesse crescente per la conservazione del patrimonio culturale e archeologico e un corrispondente aumento del numero di turisti che hanno interesse a questi settori. Di conseguenza, ciò ha comportato strategie di intervento più attenti che mirano alla conservazione, all'apprezzamento, al godimento e allo sfruttamento del nostro patrimonio storico e artistico. Il ponte pedonale è strettamente legato agli aspetti museologici, architettonici e archeologici. Questo documento descrive alcune richieste da parte del visitatore, gli elementi essenziali che devono essere specificati nel progetto e i risultati che questi particolari manufatti, ovvero le passerelle, devono fornire per …
Steviol glycosides and bioactive compounds of a beverage with exotic fruits and Stevia rebaudiana Bert. as affected by thermal treatment
2020
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of thermal processing on physicochemical properties, steviol glycosides, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant capacity degradation of a beverage based on exotic fruit juices, orange juice, açaí, and oat and sweetened with Stevia rebaudiana water extracts at different concentrations. The experimental design comprised a response surface methodology according to a central composite face-centered design. The variable ranges were 60–99°C, 0.25–15 min, 0–2.5% Stevia percentage. This design was used to determine the optimal thermal processing-Stevia concentration in order to obtain the best retention of bioactive compounds and physicochemical pr…
Carbohydrate metabolism of vegetative and reproductive sinks in the late-maturing peach cultivar ‘Encore’
1999
Activities of NAD(+)-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), sorbitol oxidase (SOX), sucrose synthase (SS), acid invertase (AI), and neutral invertase (NI) in 'Encore' peach (Prunus persica L.) fruits and developing shoot tips were assayed during the growing season to determine whether carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes could serve as indicators of sink strength. In fruit flesh, SS activity was detected during Stage I of growth, when cells were actively dividing, and SDH activity was detected during Stage III, when cells were actively enlarging. Acid invertase activity was detected during Stage I and showed a closer correlation with relative increase in fruit weight during the growing season…
Pomological and quality traits of mulberry (Morus spp.) germplasm from Gorno Badakhshan in the Western Pamir
2017
The local fruit biodiversity can represent a good opportunity to maintain the agriculture and to develop economies in "marginal" territory such as those in the mountain rural areas. The genetic diversity of the Morus spp. is little known in the Western Pamir mountains, so that the objective of the present study was to improve the knowledge of the polymorphism of the species in the different poorly explored Tajik valleys by investigating the main quantitative and qualitative traits. Materials and methods - Six selected sites of the Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO) region were investigated through field measurement on morphological traits of mulberry trees (both from wild and cultiva…
SENSORY EVALUATION AND SUITABILITY FOR FRESH-CUT PRODUCE OF WHITE PEACH [PRUNUS PERSICA (L.) BATSCH] 'SETTEMBRINA DI BIVONA'
2015
âSettembrina di Bivonaâ peaches were cut into slices to assess their suitability as fresh-cut produce. Untreated (control) and treated with calcium lactate fresh cut slices were closed in plastic boxes for 24 hours (T1) or five days of storage (T2) at 5°C, and then placed at 20°C to assess consumersâ liking. Soluble solids content, titratable acidity, firmness and pH were measured. A sample of n = 750 consumers was selected taking into consideration three variables: age (from 25 to 55 years old), professional status (employed) and aptitude to buy fresh-cut fruit for personal use. A systematic sampling was used, with a detection point based in a properly selected supermarket during t…
Cultural Heritage As A Driver Of Development
2010
After drawing attention to the importance of cultural heritage, the Authors analyze the inherent problems of the various stages: conservation, valorization and fruition which, interacting and fully respecting the integrity and identity of the asset and its history, can promote local economic development and employment opportunities.
Evaluation of different mechanical fruit harvesting systems and oil quality in very large size olive trees
2014
In 2006 and 2009, trials were carried out in the Apulia region in Southern Italy to evalu-ate the possibility of mechanizing olive harvesting in groves of old and very large trees. The trees belonged to the cultivars ‘Cellina di Nardò’ and ‘Ogliarola Salentina’. They were 60-100 years old and 7-9 m tall with a canopy volume of 140-360 m3. In the first half of November 2006, with a mechanical beater mounted on a tractor plus hand-held pneumatic combs, the harvesting yield was close to 90% of the total olives present in the canopy, and the harvesting working productivity was around 60 kg of harvested olives h-1 worker-1. With a self-propelled shaker attached to the main branches the harvestin…
Trasformazioni urbane e accessibilità ai monumenti: il caso della Vucciria di Palermo – Urban trasformation and accessibility to historical Buildings…
2021
Le trasformazioni delle trame viarie sono processi comuni a molte città storiche italiane e non solo, e definiscono nuovi rapporti all’interno del costruito. Nei grandi centri urbani è naturale la rettifica degli assi viari e il loro livellamento. Infatti, la volontà di rendere più fluidi i nuovi collegamenti tra le parti genera modifiche di quote stradali e degli accessi e dei prospetti degli edifici. A Palermo ad esempio, in epoche e parti diverse, le trasformazioni urbane cambiano l’aspetto degli assi viari per adeguarli ai processi di trasformazione e nuove esigenze di percorribilità e accesso. In particolare, un’analisi dei profili stradali di significative porzioni di di via Maqueda, …
