Laboratory formation of a scaled protostellar jet by coaligned poloidal magnetic field
2014
International audience; Although bipolar jets are seen emerging from a wide variety of astrophysical systems, the issue of their formation and morphology beyond their launching is still under study. Our scaled laboratory experiments, representative of young stellar object outflows, reveal that stable and narrow collimation of the entire flow can result from the presence of a poloidal magnetic field whose strength is consistent with observations. The laboratory plasma becomes focused with an interior cavity. This gives rise to a standing conical shock from which the jet emerges. Following simulations of the process at the full astrophysical scale, we conclude that it can also explain recentl…
Modyfikacja polietylenu kwasem itakonowym
2003
W celu nadania właściwości hydrofilowych, które powinny ułatwić rozkład odpadów w środowisku naturalnym, przeprowadzono szczepienie PE-LD kwasem itakonowym (KI) wobec nadtlenku dikumylu (DCP). Proces realizowano dwuetapowo w wytłaczarce jednoślimakowej, stosując różne stężenia KI (3—10% mas.) i DCP (do 1,1% mas.). Metodą pirolitycznej chromatografiigazowej (Py/GC/MS) zidentyfikowano produkty termicznego rozkładu KI. Analiza FT-IR wykluczyła ich obecność w kompozycjach po szczepieniu, natomiast sugerowała szczepienie KI. Metodą ekstrakcji wodnej ustalono, że wraz ze wzrostem stężenia KI i DCP wzrasta stopień szczepienia, natomiast w całym badanym zakresie stężeń DCP w kompozycjach zawierając…
The parasitoid species complex associated with sexual and parthenogenetic Naryciinae (Lepidoptera: Psychidae): Integrating ecological and molecular a…
2011
This study describes the parasitoid species complex associated with seven closely related species of sexual (Siederia rupicollella, S. listerella, Dahlica lazuri, D. charlottae and D. lichenella) and parthenogenetic (Dahlica fennicella and D. triquetrella) Naryciinae (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) in Central Finland. A thorough ecological analysis of all the species of parasitoids recorded was combined with analyses of molecular data. Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA data were obtained from all the species in order to (1) detect cryptic species associated with host specialization, (2) assign undescribed males to females, and (3) verify the morphological identification of closely related species. A D…
Land Cadastre in Italy for Sustainable Development: Application to Two Parcels of Land in a Geopark in the Process of Being Defined in Corleone (PA-I…
2020
Geoparks, like all parks, are UNESCO awards for a sustainable management of all resources and therefore also of human life. Environmental emergencies such as climate change, pollution, soil erosion, salinisation, and fires that, together with health emergencies, undermine life on earth, require intervention. The widespread sustainable management of the territory of a municipality, a region, a nation, or all of them (European Union) allows to widen the application of these concepts to reach the limit of a planet that guarantees life for future generations. The work after having exposed the motivations of the geopark (an initiative born by chance), i.e. the surface where the environmental bea…
DAL PROFESSORE AI PROFESSORI. HISTORIA DE LA XVI LEGISLATURA DE LA RÉPUBLICA ITALIANA
2015
La actual decimosexta legislatura es un ejemplo de la historia reciente de la República Italiana. El derrumbe de la alianza que apoyaba a Romano Prodi, la coalición denominada L'Unione, dio lugar a la creación de nuevos partidos y bloques que dieron la victoria en 2008 a Berlusconi. Tras los numerosos y graves escándalos, y la difícil situación económica que propiciaron su caída, el Presidente de la República encargó a Mario Monti formar un nuevo gobierno a la espera de las elecciones previstas para 2013. Entonces, nuevas formaciones, como el Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S) de Beppe Grillo, y nuevas agrupaciones jugarán un papel importante en la elección del próximo gobierno. The present sixteenth…
Microbiological Characteristics of Wild Edible Mushrooms and Effect of Temperature during Storage of Morchella conica
2019
Background: The continuous worldwide increase of consumption of fresh mushrooms has registered in the recent years. The major goal of this study was to determine the microbiological characteristics of wild edible mushrooms and effect of temperature during storage of Morchella conica.
 Methods: Wild mushrooms of the species Boletus edulis, Cantharellus cibarius, and Leccinum aurantiacum were collected in a mixed forest of Picea abies, Betula pendula, and Pinus sylvestris located in Tartu territory, Estonia. Faecal indicators, potential pathogens, spoilage bacteria, and microfungi (yeasts and moulds) were evaluated. M. conica was microbiologically investigated for 24 days under different…
Pentagrama de paisajes
2008
El presente trabajo analiza la naturaleza del paisaje sonoro que Federico García Lorca compone en sus juveniles pinceladas de viaje escritas en prosa: Impresiones y paisajes, de 1918. Para explicar la peculiar cosmovisión del andaluz se apela a diferentes concepciones sobre la relación que existe entre lenguaje, mundo y música forjadas por pensadores del mundo antiguo y contemporáneo (Pitágoras, Baudelaire, Wittgenstein). Se intenta demostrar que la musicalidad lorquiana deriva del funcionamiento del principio de iconicidad o isomorfismo. También se analizan algunos pasajes literarios que revelan en Lorca a un temprano difusor de recursos desarrollados posteriormente por compositores musica…
Two examples related to conical energies
2022
In a recent article we introduced and studied conical energies. We used them to prove three results: a characterization of rectifiable measures, a characterization of sets with big pieces of Lipschitz graphs, and a sufficient condition for boundedness of nice singular integral operators. In this note we give two examples related to sharpness of these results. One of them is due to Joyce and M\"{o}rters, the other is new and could be of independent interest as an example of a relatively ugly set containing big pieces of Lipschitz graphs.
Data from: Quality attracts parasites: host condition-dependent chemo-orientation of trematode larvae
2014
1. Environmental factors impairing physiological condition of organisms are assumed to predispose them to parasite infections. This is because host immune function is typically condition-dependent. However, poor physiological condition has been reported to reduce host susceptibility to parasites in various systems. 2. We examined whether such an effect can be due to altered exposure of hosts to active parasite transmission stages by investigating chemo-orientation of free-swimming cercariae larvae of a parasite Echinoparyphium aconiatum towards its snail host Lymnaea stagnalis. 3. We used both long-term and short-term feeding treatments to manipulate the body condition and physiological tra…
Evaluation of a novel monoclonal antibody against tumor-associated MUC1 for diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer
2019
There is still a great unmet medical need concerning diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer which could be addressed by utilizing specific molecular targets. Tumor-associated MUC1 is expressed on over 90 % of all breast cancer entities and differs strongly from its physiological form on epithelial cells, therefore presenting a unique target for breast cancer diagnosis and antibody-mediated immune therapy. Utilizing an anti-tumor vaccine based on a synthetically prepared glycopeptide, we generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb) GGSK-1/30, selectively recognizing human tumor-associated MUC1. This antibody targets exclusively tumor-associated MUC1 in the absence of any binding to MUC1 on health…
