The tools like evidences of metal working? : strike supports, abrasives and burnishers, sharpening tools and crushing tools
2013
Lots of lithic tools are present in Metal Ages, but few are studied. In metal production, they are especially constitued by strike supports, abrasives, burnishers, sharpening tools and crushing tools. A part of them are in metal ( strike supports) or in ceramic (abrasives, sharpening tools). Contemporary forms of these tools are too different to permit a dierct comparison. It is necessary to work on the function of the tools, deduced from the analysis of these structure. Strike supports used for metal working are easily identifiable. They allow to reproduce more or less precisely the objects that they were fabricated with. Abrasives are difficult to relate to a material, but the traces of u…
Ancient or recent? Insights into the temporal evolution of the Bruniaceae
2008
AbstractThe Bruniaceae are a South African plant family endemic to the Cape Floristic Region with one geographic outlier (Raspalia trigyna) in the Natal Province. Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses have cast new light upon inter- and intra-generic relationships within the family. The present work uses those data to gain insights into the temporal evolution of Bruniaceae by inferring a molecular clock. For calibration, the inferred age of Berzelia cordifolia (3–5My) was used, based on its distribution restricted to the geologically young limestone area around Bredasdorp. The results are consistent with the purported Cretaceous age of the family (‘palaeoendemics’), but also suggest that m…

Effects of PET packaging on the quality of an orange juice made from concentrate
2004
An orange juice made from concentrate was conditioned in three different PET (PolyEthylene Terephtalate) and glass packagings. Influence of storage conditions (length of storage, light, oxygen) on vitamin C content, browning index, and colour were measured. Results show that permeability to oxygen of PET packagings is the major factor detrimentally affecting the above parameters.
Evil lords, benign historians: strongman politics in medieval India and Renaissance Florence
2019
Recent developments in Europe and the United States (US) attest to an increasing fascination with and nostalgia for the strong leaders of the past – especially those that emerged in the aftermath o...
Bruni, Martí de Viciana i el pròleg a la traducció de l'"Econòmica" aristotèlica
2009
Anàlisi del pròleg de la traducció de l’"Econòmica" d’Aristòtil realitzada per Martí de Viciana el Vell a partir de la versió llatina de Leonardo Bruni. Viciana, al pròleg, combina paraules de Bruni amb un seguit d’arguments i tòpics característics de pàgines medievals. El resultat s’adiu amb els objectius del traductor: presentar un text adjudicable al gènere «econòmic», però fent servir l’"autoritas" grega i la mediació humanística, que Viciana no arriba a copsar.
Floral ontogeny, petal diversity and nectary uniformity in Bruniaceae
2006
Bruniaceae are a small family subendemic to the Cape Floristic Region. Flowers are actinomorphic, choripetalous, pentamerous and tetracyclic. The petals show diverse adaxial swellings, which have been quoted as an example of diplophylly. Developmental studies confirm the true choripetaly of the flowers, thus pointing to an affinity to the Apiales within the euasterids II. They reject, however, the hypothesis of diplophylly as the petal swellings grow out rather late and are not vascularized. According to the position, size and shape of the swellings, six petal types are distinguished, which in part have phylogenetic information. Nectaries occur on the upper part of the ovary. Nectar is exuded …
Alterazioni del legno della vite: prime osservazioni in areali della Sicilia occidentale.
2008
Il comportamento epidemico di “malattie del legno” di Vitis vinifera è stato studiato in tre aree viticole della Sicilia occidentale. In particolare, sono stati condotti rilievi in campo per quantificare l’incidenza e l’intensità di sintomi del mal dell’esca e di un deperimento “atipico”; in laboratorio, invece, sono stati effettuati isolamenti per individuare i microrganismi associati ai campioni di xilema alterato. I risultati delle osservazioni, confermano la “fluttuazione” dei sintomi, la differente evoluzione dell’esca in funzione della cultivar e del clima, definendo, inoltre, la natura biotica del deperimento atipico rilevato a Marsala (TP) e quella abiotica delle alterazioni xilemat…
