Desarrollo de métodos inmunoquímicos para el análisis en alimentos de fungicidas inhibidores de la succinato deshidrogenasa

2017

El uso de plaguicidas constituye una forma eficaz y hoy por hoy necesaria para combatir gran parte de las plagas que afectan a los cultivos agrícolas. Sin embargo, su uso puede dar lugar a la aparición de residuos en los alimentos que llegan al consumidor, lo que puede derivar en un problema de seguridad alimentaria. Por ello, es necesario el desarrollo de métodos analíticos altamente sensibles y selectivos para la monitorización de dichos residuos, que permitan la detección de concentraciones lo más bajas posibles. En este contexto, en esta Tesis Doctoral se ha abordado el desarrollo de métodos inmunoquímicos de elevada sensibilidad y selectividad para el análisis en muestras de alimentos …

Determination of the Subcellular Origin of [14C] Acetylcholine (ACh) and [3H] Acetylpyrrolidinecholine (Apych) Released from Guinea-Pig Cerebral Cort…

1978

After in vivo application of radiolabelled choline, radioactive ACh is formed and can be released from the brain by electrical stimulation. However, its origin is still obscure because, due to the metabolical heterogeneity of synaptic vesicles, no subcellular compartment has been found with a specific activity (SA) corresponding to that of released transmitter. To bypass this heterogeneity problem, two different labelled precursors can be used.

Performance of Host-Races of the Fruit Fly,Tephritis conuraon a Derived Host Plant, the Cabbage ThistleCirsium oleraceum: Implications for the Origin…

2008

The thistle-infesting fruit fly Tephritis conura Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae) forms host races on the melancholy thistle, Cirsium hetewphyllum (L.) Hill (Asterales: Asteraceae) and the cabbage thistle, Cirsium olemceum (L.). Scop. Previous research indicates that the host shift occurred from C. hetewphyllum to C. oleraceum. In this paper we address whether the host shift involved physiological adaptations by studying oviposition acceptance and survival of the two host races on the derived host C. oleraceum. Performance differed significantly between host races. T. conura originating from C. oleraceum produced adults in 75% of all egg-laying trials in contrast to only 6.6% in T. conura origin…

Agronomical and chemical characterisation of Thymbra capitata (L.) Cav. biotypes from Sicily, Italy

2015

In this study the agromomical and chemical characterization of 13 sicilian biotypes of Thymbra capitata (L.) Cav. (or Thymus capitatus Hoff. et Link.) collected from different areas of Sicily (Italy) and grown under the same agricultural and environmental condition are reported. The main morpho-productive parameters and quali-quantitative profile of essential oils were determined . Essential oils were extracts from the aerial parts of the plants by hydrodistillation. The essential oils were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis statistical methods were used to group biotypes according to the essential oils chemical composition. The esse…

Prediction of active peak force using a multilayer perceptron

2017

Both kinematic parameters and ground reaction forces (GRFs) are necessary for understanding the biomechanics of running. Kinematic information of a runner is typically measured by a motion capture system whereas GRF during the support phase of running is measured by force platforms. To analyze both kinematics and kinetics of a runner over several subsequent contacts, an instrumented treadmill or alternatively several force platforms installed over a regulated space are available options, but they are highly immovable, expensive, and sometimes even impractical options. Naturally, it would be highly useful to predict GRFs using a motion capture system only and this way reduce costs and comple…

Persistence in complex systems

2022

Persistence is an important characteristic of many complex systems in nature, related to how long the system remains at a certain state before changing to a different one. The study of complex systems' persistence involves different definitions and uses different techniques, depending on whether short-term or long-term persistence is considered. In this paper we discuss the most important definitions, concepts, methods, literature and latest results on persistence in complex systems. Firstly, the most used definitions of persistence in short-term and long-term cases are presented. The most relevant methods to characterize persistence are then discussed in both cases. A complete literature r…

ANALISI GIS E MODELLI STATISTICI PER LA VALUTAZIONE DELLA SUSCETTIBILITÀ DA FRANA A SCALA DI BACINO: IL CASO STUDIO DEL BACINO DEL TORRENTE MARVELLO

Lo studio condotto nel presente lavoro di tesi ha affrontato il tema della valutazione, a scala di bacino idrografico, della suscettibilità ai fenomeni di tipo colamento, attraverso l’applicazione di modelli statistici e tecniche di analisi spaziale GIS. La fase iniziale della preparazione di un modello di suscettibilità da frana prevede la realizzazione di un inventario degli eventi verificatesi nell’area di studio. Questo passo è di fondamentale importanza, considerando che proprio attraverso l’archivio frane è possibile analizzare ed individuare le condizioni che in passato hanno favorito l’innesco dei movimenti di versante. L’identificazione di queste condizioni, infatti, consente di pr…

Towards saturation of the electron-capture delayed fission probability : The new isotopes 240Es and 236Bk

2017

The new neutron-deficient nuclei 240Es and 236Bk were synthesised at the gas-filled recoil separator RITU. They were identified by their radioactive decay chains starting from 240Es produced in the fusion–evaporation reaction 209Bi(34S,3n)240Es. Half-lives of 6(2) sand 22+13−6swere obtained for 240Es and 236Bk, respectively. Two groups of αparticles with energies Eα=8.19(3) MeVand 8.09(3) MeVwere unambiguously assigned to 240Es. Electron-capture delayed fission branches with probabilities of 0.16(6)and 0.04(2)were measured for 240Es and 236Bk, respectively. These new data show a continuation of the exponential increase of ECDF probabilities in more neutron-deficient isotopes. peerReviewed
