Aloe-Based Edible Coating to Maintain Quality of Fresh-Cut Italian Pears (Pyrus communis L.) during Cold Storage

2021

Pear fruits are known for their antioxidant and nutritional characteristics. However, they are very susceptible to rapid decay. Edible coating (EC) represents a good strategy to maintain postharvest quality. The effects of two EC in slowing down the senescence processes in fresh-cut ‘Coscia’ pears were investigated: EC1 (A. vera gel, hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose and pomegranate seeds oil (PSO), EC2 (A. vera gel and hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose). Weight loss, firmness and colour decrease more slowly in both EC-treated than in untreated (CTR) slices; soluble solid content increases faster in CTR, indicating a faster ripening process. The specific investigation of undesired microorganisms di…

Influence of a humid zone on entomocoenosis diversity.

2017

The authors studied the insect diversity associated to humid and dry zones in the Caselli Nature Reserve (Pisa, Tuscany) in 2016 by using two Malaise traps. The average number of species and individual captures increased in the humid zone to about 118% for species and to 152% for individuals respectively. This richness increase was observed for some families of Coleoptera and Hymenoptera Aculeata and Apoidea. Surprisingly, a richness decrease of Lepidoptera (to 89% and 66% respectively for species and individuals) and Orthoptera (to 44% and 21% respectively for species and individuals) in the humid zone has been observed.

Effect of grape pomace from red cultivar 'Nero d’Avola' on the microbiological, physicochemical, phenolic profile and sensory aspects of ovine Vasted…

2022

Abstract Aims The purpose of this study was to functionalize an ovine stretched cheese belonging to 'Vastedda' typology with red grape pomace powder (GPP) of Nero d’Avola cultivar and to characterize the microbiological, physicochemical, phenolic profile and sensory characteristics of the final cheeses. Methods and Results Before cheeses production, GPP was characterized for its microbiological profile, antibacterial activity and polyphenolic content. No colonies of bacteria and yeasts were detected in the GPP. GPP showed a large inhibition spectrum against spoilage and pathogenic bacteria. Three classes of polyphenolic compounds belonging to flavan-3-ols, flavonol and phenolic acids were i…

Pyrus ciancioi (Rosaceae), a new species from Sicily

2012

A new species of Pyrus L. from the Nebrodi Mountains (NE Sicily) is described, named, and illustrated. It differs from P. spinosa in the shape and diameter/length ratio of its fruits and in the width/length ratio of the leaf lamina. An analytical key to the Pyrus species growing in Sicily is provided.

Effects of fish farming waste to sedimentary and particulate organic matter in a southern Mediterranean area (Gulf of Castellammare, Sicily): a multi…

2004

Abstract Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis was used to investigate the dispersion area of waste material coming from fish farming activities in the western Mediterranean. Tests were conducted to see if uneaten feed and faecal material isotopic signals, originating from fish farms, could be detected in particulate organic matter (POM) and sedimentary organic matter (SOM). The detectable dispersion distance (from under cages as far as 1000 m) of cage-derived organic material was also examined. To do this, carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) composition in POM and SOM collected around the cages, in some control areas and in the waste material, was measured. Mean POM δ13C was −22.9±0.2‰…

Analogismi, relazioni e nessi concettuali

2018

Nell’osservare la mostra degli esiti didattici dei Laboratori di progettazione architettonica dei professori Renato Capozzi e Federica Visconti colpiscono alcuni aspetti che si ritiene possano essere assunti quali asserzioni concettuali e teoriche poste a fondamento dell’intero processo progettuale e della stessa idea di architettura ad esso sottointesa. Il ragionamento prende avvio dall’affermazione sulla “città archeologica” di Pompei come un giacimento di conoscenza architettonica e urbana. Gli esiti dei laboratori mostrano proprio questa straordinaria fertilità esercitata dalle vive testimonianze del mondo antico e la loro capacità di saper generare, ancora oggi, una reazione poetica. A…

A framework to induce self-regulation through a metacognitive tutor

2010

A new architectural framework for a metacognitive tutoring system is presented that is aimed to stimulate self regulatory behavior in the learner. The new framework extends the cognitive architecture of TutorJ that has been already proposed by some of the authors. TutorJ relies mainly on dialogic interaction with the user, and makes use of a statistical dialogue planner implemented through a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP). A suitable two-level structure has been designed for the statistical reasoner to cope with measuring and stimulating metacognitive skills in the user. Suitable actions have been designed to this purpose starting from the analysis of the main question…

Homonoia in un'emissione bronzea di Panormus

1986

Nota fin da Esiodo come personificazione divina di un concetto astratto legato alla prassi politica, l'iconografia di Homonoia conosce una diffusione particolare in età ellenistica e romana,soprattutto su emissioni monetali. Qui si prende in esame il suo uso su emissioni monetali di Panormus, proponendo di datarle all'età delle guerre civili nel I secolo a.C.
