Grass Pea
2011
Grass pea (Lathyrus. sativus L.) is an annual legume crop with high protein content and remarkable resistance to extreme environmental conditions, including fl ooding, drought, salinity and low soil fertility, and a signifi cant degree of resistance to biotic stress agents. It is rightly considered one of the most promising sources of calories and protein for the vast and expanding populations of drought-prone and marginal areas of Asia and Africa and as an interesting alternative for cropping systems diversifi cation in marginal lands in Europe, Australia and America. It is a dual purpose crop with great agronomic potential as a grain and forage legume. Nevertheless, as a result of the lit…
On the use of multi-temporal series of COSMO-SkyMed data for LANDcover classification and surface parameter retrieval over agricultural sites
2011
The objective of this paper is to report on the activities carried out during the first year of the Italian project “Use of COSMO-SkyMed data for LANDcover classification and surface parameters retrieval over agricultural sites” (COSMOLAND), funded by the Italian Space Agency. The project intends to contribute to the COSMO-SkyMed mission objectives in the agriculture and hydrology application domains.
Cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 2 produced by virulent Escherichia coli modifies the small GTP-binding proteins Rho involved in assembly of actin s…
1994
Cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 2 (CNF2) produced by Escherichia coli strains isolated from intestinal and extraintestinal infections is a dermonecrotic toxin of 110 kDa. We cloned the CNF2 gene from a large plasmid carried by an Escherichia coli strain isolated from a lamb with septicemia. Hydropathy analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed a largely hydrophilic protein with two potential hydrophobic transmembrane domains. The N-terminal half of CNF2 showed striking homology (27% identity and 80% conserved residues) to the N-terminal portion of Pasteurella multocida toxin. Methylamine protection experiments and immunofluorescence studies suggested that CNF2 enters the cytosol…
The potential of γ-ray spectroscopy for soil proximal survey in clayey soils Le potentiel de la spectroscopie a rayons-γ lors de l’echantillonnage pe…
2013
La spettroscopia di raggi-γ misura la distribuzione e l’intensità della radiazione gamma emessa naturalmente dai suoli o dalle rocce. I radionuclidi più importanti nel suolo come fonte di raggi gamma sono: 40K, 232Th, 238U ed 137Cs, quest’ultimo di origine artificiale, principalmente legato all’esplosione di Chernobyl o ad inquinamenti radioattivi. La distribuzione e la quantità di questi radionuclidi è strettamente dipendente dalla mineralogia del parent material e dalla capacità di scambio cationico del suolo. Scopo di questo lavoro è quello di mostrare le potenzialità di un rilevamento prossimale con spettroscopia di raggi-γ in campi sperimentali con suoli argillosi della Sicilia occiden…
Risk map of transmission of urogenital schistosomiasis by Bulinus truncatus (Audouin, 1827) (Mollusca Gastropoda, Bulinidae) in Spain and Portugal
2019
Mapa del riesgo de contraer schistosomiasis urogenital provocada por Bulinus truncatus (Audouin, 1827) (Mollusca Gastropoda, Bulinidae) en España y Portugal Se da a conocer el mapa de la distribución geográfica de Bulinus truncatus en España y Portugal en el que se recopilan las localidades históricas y actuales, que coincide con el mapa del riesgo de contraer schistosomiasis urogenital provocada por este caracol de agua dulce. Se revisan las muestras de esta especie depositadas en el Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona y en el Museo de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid, así como datos propios, incluidas algunas aportaciones inéditas. Este mapa permitirá conocer el área óptima de esta especi…
Time-gated Raman and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy in mapping of eudialyte and catapleiite
2020
Raman analysis of rock samples containing rare earth elements (REEs) is challenging due to the strong fluorescence, which may mask the weaker Raman signal. In this research, time‐gated (TG) Raman has been applied to the construction of the mineral distribution map from REE‐bearing rock. With TG Raman, material is excited with a short subnanosecond laser pulse, and the Raman signal is collected within a picosecond‐scale time window prior to the formation of a strong fluorescent signal by means of single‐photon avalanche diode array. This allows signal readout with a significantly reduced fluorescence background. TG Raman maps are used to reveal the location of valuable minerals and are compa…
Spatial data fusion and analysis for soil characterization: a case study in a coastal basin of south-western Sicily (southern Italy)
2012
Salinization is one of the most serious problems confronting sustainable agriculture in semi-arid and arid regions. Accurate mapping of soil salinization and the associated risk represent a fundamental step in planning agricultural and remediation activities. Geostatistical analysis is very useful for soil quality assessment because it makes it possible to determine the spatial relationships between selected variables and to produce synthetic maps of spatial variation. The main objective of this paper was to map the soil salinization risk in the Delia-Nivolelli alluvial basin (south-western Sicily, southern Italy), using multivariate geostatistical techniques and a set of topographical, phy…
Physical Activity-Related Profiles of Female Sixth-Graders Regarding Motivational Psychosocial Variables: A Cluster Analysis Within the CReActivity P…
2020
IntroductionAdolescents’ physical activity (PA) behavior can be driven by several psychosocial determinants at the same time. Most analyses use a variable-based approach that examines relations between PA-related determinants and PA behavior on the between-person level. Using this approach, possible coexistences of different psychosocial determinants within one person cannot be examined. Therefore, by applying a person-oriented approach, this study examined (a) which profiles regarding PA-related psychosocial variables typically occur in female sixth-graders, (b) if these profiles deliver a self-consistent picture according to theoretical assumptions, and (c) if the profiles contribute to t…
Some fixed point theorems for occasionally weakly compatible mappings in probabilistic semi-metric spaces
2009
We prove some common fixed point theorems in probabilistic semi-metric spaces for occasionally weakly compatible mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition. We give also results of common fixed point for mappings satisfying a condition of integral type.
