"Cose da pazzi" di Evelina Santangelo

2014

Bruciano come ferite aperte nel silenzio assordante della sua coscienza, le mancanze che costellano l’accidentata formazione adolescenziale di Rafael Lomunno nel confronto quotidiano con la realtà cruda e difficile del quartiere Spina, cuore pulsante e deviato di una Palermo, mai citata, eppure riconoscibile nelle pieghe nevralgiche della sua topografia. In uno scenario, così ritratto dalla stessa autrice, anche l’espressione «cose da pazzi», evocata da Evelina Santangelo sin dal titolo del suo romanzo, si carica di uno spessore ambivalente in relazione al punto di vista di chi questa realtà la vive dall’interno, per cui l’abnorme è norma e di chi, invece, da una diversa trincea etica cogli…

Cryopreservation of Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) Axillary Buds from In Vitro Shoots Using the Droplet Vitrification Method

2021

Cryopreservation by droplet vitrification was applied to hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). axillary buds of the Italian cultivated variety Tonda Gentile Romana, which were collected from in vitro growing shoots, immersed in ice cooled PVS2 or PVS3 for 60 or 90 min, then transferred to a droplet of vitrification solution, placed on a strip of aluminium foil, and plunged into liquid nitrogen (LN). Additionally, the effect on the recovery of the mother plant after cryopreservation was evaluated, following a cold pre-treatment at 4 °C for 3 months. The highest regrowth percentage (56.7%) was obtained after applying PVS3 for 60 min, while the application of PVS2 for the same amount of time reduced…

Root hydraulic conductivity in three self-rooted and grafted table grape cultivars

2012

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Aim</strong>: Root hydraulic conductivity is one of the main factors that control water flow in the soil-plant system and ultimately affect crop irrigation requirements. This work sets out to estimate root water conductivity for three self-rooted or grafted table grape cultivars.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Methods and results</strong>: We evaluated root water conductivity of the cultivars ‘Black Magic’, ‘Matilde’ and ‘Victoria’ grafted onto 1103 Paulsen rootstock or self-rooted. Measurements were performed on two-year-old table grapes grown in pots filled with pumice. Root water conductivity wa…

Soil – plant system: a case study of Vitis berlandieri x Vitis rupestris rootstock varieties

2013

Lanthanides are part of rare earth elements. Nowadays studies focused on these elements are increasing to assess the possibility to their use in the traceability to effectively determining the geographical wine origin. In the traceability project we start studying the soil plant system. The aim of the research was to verify if different varieties of rootstock on identical soil have similar lanthanides uptake behavior and if the same rootstock could reproduce different lanthanides distribution for different soil typologies. Three different varieties of rootstock V. berlandieri X V. rupestris (1103 Paulsen, 779 Paulsen and 140 Ruggeri), planted on different soils (carbonatic, clayey and volca…

AGE6. Skin Ageing: Focus on the Role of Inflammatory Genetic Factors in Cutaneous Neoplasia

AGE6. Skin Ageing: Focus on the Role of Inflammatory Genetic Factors in Cutaneous Neoplasia C. M. Gambino1, F. Crapanzano1, G. Accardi1, A. Aiello1, C. Virruso1, G. Pistone1, M. R. Bongiorno1, D. Lio1, C. R. Balistreri1, G. Candore1 1University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy Background: Skin aging is a complex process that involves intrinsic and exogenous causes. Photo-oxidative damage caused by UV is the leading cause of extrinsic aging of the skin, known as photo-ageing. UV damages can be linked mostly to overproduction of ROS that induces a complex molecular cascade able to accelerate physiological aging, determining a typical dermal/epidermal inflammation with an increased risk of getting s…

Foot and Lower Limb Clinical and Structural Changes in Overuse Injured Recreational Runners Using Floating Heel Shoes: Preliminary Results of a Rando…

2021

Foot-strike and the associated load rate are factors related to overuse injuries in runners. The purpose of this study was to analyse structural and functional changes in runners using floating heel running shoes, compared with runners using conventional footwear. A randomised control trial was conducted. Twenty runners with overuse injuries were followed over a 12-week gait retraining programme using floating heel running shoes or their conventional footwear. Pain was measured with pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), structural changes were measured with ultrasonography, and severity and impact of injury was scored on the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC-…

Catholicisme, patriotisme et sport en Alsace (1898-1939)

2002

L’Elsässischer Turnerbund, devenue en 1918 l’Avant-garde du Rhin, avait pour principe de faire des sportifs de bons catholiques et de bons patriotes. Cet objectif rejoignait en théorie celui de la Fédération gymnastique et sportive des patronages de France à laquelle elle était affiliée depuis la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale. Très vite cependant elle se distingua par sa volonté farouche de préserver son identité régionale et sa conception fédéraliste de la nation.

Méthodologie de modélisation et de caractérisation des réseaux spatiaux. Application au réseau viaire de Paris

2016

International audience; Les graphes spatialisés soulèvent différentes questions qui intéressent plusieurs disciplines, depuis la biologie (veinures de feuilles, réseaux neuronaux) ou la géomorphologie (réseaux fluviaux) jusqu’aux études urbaines (réseaux de transports), sans oublier celle des réseaux d’énergie (réseaux électriques, de gaz ou de pétrole) et de télécommunication. Nous nous concentrerons ici sur les exemples apportés par les réseaux viaires. C’est à travers ceux-ci que nous définirons dans cet article d’abord un objet d’étude multi-échelle, la voie, puis cinq indicateurs liés qui permettront une lecture enrichie de la spatialité urbaine. Nous expliciterons ainsi les particular…

Co-crystals of an agrochemical active – A pyridine-amine synthon for a thioamide group

2011

Five novel co-crystals of thiophanate-ethyl (TE), an agrochemical active, with di(2-pyridyl)ketone (1), 2-benzoylpyridine (2), 3-benzoylpyridine (3), 4-phenylpyridine (4) and biphenyl (5) were found and crystal structures of four of them (TE1–TE3, TE5) solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Three of the co-crystals (TE1–TE3) form by way of a reliable pyridine-amine hydrogen bond synthon and one (TE5) because of close packing effects. The fifth co-crystal was identified by X-ray powder diffraction. The work demonstrates the usage of a reliable supramolecular synthon for crystal engineering, while concurrently reminds that the close packing of even very similar molecules cannot be fully …
