Vecchi e nuovi problemi in tema di intervento dei creditori nell’esecuzione (note a margine di Cass. S.U. n. 61 del 7 gennaio 2014)
2015
Nel contributo in oggetto l'autore, muovendo dalla decisione delle Sezioni Unite della Cassazione n. 61 del 7 gennaio 2014, coglie l'occasione per riesaminare le vecchie e nuove problematiche sottese all’intervento dei creditori nel processo esecutivo. Il primo tema affrontato è quello della par condicio creditorum, che viene esaminata nella sua storia evolutiva dal Code Napoleon, al suo periodo di massima estensione, dato dal codice del 1940, fino al suo ridimensionamento a seguito delle riforme del 2005. Esamina quindi la possibilità del possibile superamento quoad effectum della distinzione tra intervento di creditori con titolo e senza titolo, alla luce delle evoluzioni della giurisprud…
Revision of asterolepidoid antiarch remains from the Ogre Formation (Upper Devonian) of Latvia
2020
The Frasnian (Upper Devonian) antiarch Walterilepis speciosa was first described in 1933 (as Taeniolepis) on the basis of a single specimen. The newly collected material has allowed the head to be described in a more detail, especially the nuchal and paranuchal plates. Other newly described elements include bones of the pectoral appendages and trunk armour, demonstrating a rather high and short trunk armour. The shape and proportions of the head and trunk armour suggest the attribution of Walterilepis to the family Pterichthyodidae; it is most probably closely related to Lepadolepis from the Late Frasnian of Germany. Whilst W. speciosa is endemic to the Latvian part of the Baltic Devonian B…
CARATTERIZZAZIONE DELLE EUFORBIE DELLA FLORA SICILIANA TRAMITE “DNA BARCODING”
2013
Il genere Euphorbia L. in Sicilia comprende 36 taxa (1, 2) di cui 8 endemici e subendemici, 21 a distribuzione mediterranea, 5 europea e 2 ancora più ampia. Si tratta di entità presenti nei più svariati contesti ecologici, aventi in comune una caratteristica tossicità derivante dalla presenza di vari alcaloidi più o meno concentrati nel latice. Alcune euforbie sono tipiche della macchia mediterranea, altre si rinvengono nell’ambito di formazioni prative e forestali di alta quota, alcune sono casmofite, altre psammofite. In particolare, le entità native in Sicilia sono: E. akenocarpa Guss., E. aleppica L., E. biumbellata Poir., E. bivonae Steud., E. ceratocarpa Ten., E. characias L., E. cora…
Dubbi sulla pretesa natura pubblica dei beni oggetto di confisca di prevenzione.
2020
L'articolo, illustrati i fondamenti degli orientamenti interpretativi che qualificano come beni pubblici quelli acquisiti al patrimonio dello Stato in forza di confisca di prevenzione, svolge alcune notazioni critiche intorno alla coerenza di tale ricostruzione, evidenziandone la non rispondenza alla sistematica dei beni pubblici e la dubbia conformità al paradigma costituzionale del principio di legalità
A (1->3)-beta-D-glucan recognition protein from the sponge Suberites domuncula. Mediated activation of fibrinogen-like protein and epidermal growth f…
2004
Sponges (phylum Porifera) live in a symbiotic relationship with microorganisms, primarily bacteria. Until now, molecular proof for the capacity of sponges to recognize fungi in the surrounding aqueous milieu has not been available. Here we demonstrate, for the demosponge Suberites domuncula (Porifera, Demospongiae, Hadromerida), a cell surface receptor that recognizes (1--3)-beta-D-glucans, e.g. curdlan or laminarin. This receptor, the (1--3)-beta-D-glucan-binding protein, was identified and its cDNA analysed. The gene coding for the 45 kDa protein was found to be upregulated in tissue after incubation with carbohydrate. Simultaneously with the increased expression of this gene, two further…
ORNAMENTAL SIGN LANGUAGE IN THE FIRST ORDER TRACERY BELTS
2010
18 pages; We consider ornamental sign language of first order where principles of sieve displacement, of asymmetric building blocks as base of ornament symmetry, color exchangeability and side equivalence principles work. The generic aspects of sieve and genesis of ornamental pattern and ornament sign in it are discussed. The hemiolia principle for ornamental genesis is introduced. The discoverer of most of these principles were artist Modris Tenisons [4, 5, 6, 7 (refs. 23, 24), 8 (ref. 65)]. Here we apply systematical research using simplest mathematical arguments. We come to conclusions that mathematical argument in arising ornament is of much more significance than simply symmetries in i…
Normal, Abby Normal, Prefix Normal
2014
A prefix normal word is a binary word with the property that no substring has more 1s than the prefix of the same length. This class of words is important in the context of binary jumbled pattern matching. In this paper we present results about the number \(\textit{pnw}(n)\) of prefix normal words of length n, showing that \(\textit{pnw}(n) =\Omega\left(2^{n - c\sqrt{n\ln n}}\right)\) for some c and \(\textit{pnw}(n) = O \left(\frac{2^n (\ln n)^2}{n}\right)\). We introduce efficient algorithms for testing the prefix normal property and a “mechanical algorithm” for computing prefix normal forms. We also include games which can be played with prefix normal words. In these games Alice wishes t…
Development and validation of a bioenergetics model for juvenile and adult burbot
2003
Oxygen consumption of juvenile and adult burbot Lota Iota was measured in an intermittent-flow respirometer to determine the effect of temperature and fish body mass on metabolic rate. These results were combined with data from earlier experiments and the 'Wisconsin bioenergetics' model was constructed. The model was validated under laboratory conditions by comparing observed and predicted food consumption and growth of burbot fed on dead vendace Coregonus albula. There was a good correspondence between observed and estimated growth and food consumption under experimental conditions: the mean absolute per cent errors of growth and food consumption were 4.8 and 24.0%. Estimated values with t…
Assessing the use of the mitochondrial cox1 marker for use in DNA barcoding of red algae (Rhodophyta)
2011
The red algae, a remarkably diverse group of organisms, are difficult to identify using morphology alone. Following the proposal to use the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) for DNA barcoding animals, we assessed the use of this, ne in the identification of red algae using 48 samples plus 31 sequences obtained from GenBank. The data set spanned six gene orders of red algae: the Bangiales, Ceramiales, Corallinales, Gigartinales, Gracilariales and Rhodymeniales. The results indicated that species could be discriminated. Intraspecific variation was between 0 and 4 bp over 539 bp analyzed except in Mastocarpus stellatus (0-14 bp) and Gracilaria gracilis (0-11 bp). Cryptic dive…
Palaeoclimatic applications of large databases: developing and testing methods of palaeotemperature reconstruction using nonmarine ostracods
2008
Non-analogue methods for Quaternary palaeoclimatic reconstruction, such as the coleopteran Mutual Climate Range method and the Mutual Ostracod Temperature Range (MOTR) method, use large geographical databases combined with modern climate datasets to establish the modern climate/temperature ranges of species, which can then be applied to the interpretation of fossil assemblages. Such approaches have been criticized for their lack of attention to variation in the distributions of species within their climate ranges. The MOTR method, for example, assumes that a species has an equal probability of occurring anywhere within its temperature range (e.g. mean July air temperature range), but tests …
