Behavioral response of the egg parasitoid Ooencyrtus telenomicida to host-related chemical cues in a tritrophic perspective

2010

The response of the generalist egg parasitoid Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Vassiliev) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) to host-related chemical cues from tomato plants, Solanum lycopersicum L., and adults of Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) was investigated in laboratory-based no-choice and paired-choice tests. In Y-tube olfactometer experiments, when female wasps were exposed to volatiles from plants in different conditions, they were attracted only to volatiles produced by N. viridula adult-infested tomato plants. When female wasps were exposed to adults of N. viridula, they were attracted to volatiles from virgin males, and, at a lower level, to volatiles from mated females in preov…

Distribution of biomass and site location of combustion and gasification power plants in western Sicily

2012

The substitution of conventional fossil fuels with biomass for energy production results both in the reduction of greenhouse gases emissions and in the replacement of non-renewable energy sources. The use of biomass for energy production responds to the growing pressure of government policies towards the achievement of better environmental sustainability of power generation processes. This is particularly true for the agricultural areas of Sicily, where the realization of new economic dynamics can lead to development of a local economic system. However, at present, generating energy from biomass is rather expensive due to both technological limits related to low conversion efficiencies, and…

Semantic place recognition for context aware services

2012

Extracting the meaning of the most significant places, which are frequently visited by a mobile user, is a relevant problem in mobile computing. Predicting semantic meaning of such places is useful in many areas. The problem of place semantic annotation of a user location can be challenging for service providers. Awareness of user activities is very important for development of personalized applications, which can be used in health care systems, living systems, etc. Predicting location of mobile users not only enables development of high quality location-based services and applications, but also improves resource reservation in wireless networks. In this research several solutions for seman…

Journey to the Centre of Europe

1998

De nombreuses institutions locales utilisent, dans de véritables opérations de marketing territorial, une analogie entre centre géographique et centre géométrique du cercle pour valoriser leur localisation. Il s'agit là d'une conception particulière et étroite d'une idée plus riche et plus insaisissable. Le concept de centre est une construction économique et sociale mais il repose sur certains principes consensuels : l'accessibilité, la concentration,l'inégalité, la relativité spatiale et temporelle et la subjectivité compte tenu de sa dimension symbolique. Définir un centre c'est d'abord borner un sous espace de référence. Représenter le centre économique par le centre d'un cercle nécessi…

On the Bride’s side? Fra politica della dislocazione ed etica del posizionamento

2016

This paper aims at critically exploring the network geographies underlying the production, distribution and consumption of the Italian docu-film "On the Bride’s side". Through a successful crowdfunding campaign and hundreds of screenings throughout Europe, the docu- film has given rise to a wide diasporic public sphere. It is here that mainstream practices and alternative imaginations combine each other and unveil the complex and contested production of the cultural field

Design ed eco-sostenibilità: le fibre vegetali in Sicilia tra tradizione ed innovazione

2012

Il dibattito sulla questione ambientale, sorto tra gli anni ‘60 e ‘70 del secolo scorso, con la formazione delle prime associazioni ambientaliste, ebbe come nodo centrale il rapporto tra economia e ambiente, nella sempre più evidente necessità di preservare la qualità del patrimonio naturale e nella consapevolezza che, essendo le risorse del pianeta tendenzialmente esauribili, dovessero essere rivisti ed equilibrati i modelli di sviluppo. Gli oggetti, secondo la lezione di Bruno Latour, simboleggiano stili di vita che comprendono al loro interno processi comunicativi e riguardano in ogni caso la sfera dell’informazione, dell’interazione, del ricordo e anche del desiderio. L’omologazione del…

Epidemiologische Perspektiven der Migrationsforschung am Beispiel von Krebserkrankungen

2008

Epidemiologic research on migration and health in Germany is increasingly focusing on chronic diseases. Migrant studies can help to identify causes of diseases. They also help to identify health inequalities and can thus contribute to improvements in health care. With regard to cancer, descriptive studies among Turkish migrants and ethnic German immigrants from the Former Soviet Union have shown overall low, but slowly increasing cancer rates as compared to autochthonous Germans. For individual cancer sites such as stomach cancer, migrants appear to experience higher risks than the comparison population. Epidemiologic approaches studying cancer care and services for migrants, as well as ana…

The Identification of Single Phase to Earth Faults in Overhead Lines of Electrical Power Distribution Systems

2005

Service continuity is one of the aspects of greater importance in the definition of the quality of electrical energy. After the electrical energy market liberalization, distributors have moved towards new investments in research, first of all in the field of faults diagnostic. The Authors have already studied the problem of the service continuity and this paper represents the development of the research carried out in the field. The paper presents the extension, to overhead distribution lines, of the new diagnostic approach to identify, locate and characterize the faulty events, made up by the Authors. The proposed methodology must be integrated in an electrical distribution networks manage…
