Effects of training on bone metabolism in young athletes
2021
Purpose. This study investigated the effects of two types of training on the bone formation marker of osteocalcin and the bone resorption marker of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoenzyme 5b (TRAP5b) in young track and field boys and girls. Methods. The 14-year-old group (10 boys, 10 girls) performed first time an intensive and supervised 8-week plyometric training. In the 17-year-old group (13 athletic boys, 6 control boys, 12 athletic girls, 6 control girls), the normal many-sided track and field training lasted 6 months. Results. Significant increases were noticed in osteocalcin (p < 0.01) both in younger boys and girls. The 20-m sprint performance improved in girls (p < 0.01) and …
Ultrafast Interface Charge Separation in Carbon Nanodot-Nanotube Hybrids
2021
Carbon dots are an emerging family of zero-dimensional nanocarbons behaving as tunable light harvesters and photoactivated charge donors. Coupling them to carbon nanotubes, which are well-known electron acceptors with excellent charge transport capabilities, is very promising for several applications. Here, we first devised a route to achieve the stable electrostatic binding of carbon dots to multi- or single-walled carbon nanotubes, as confirmed by several experimental observations. The photoluminescence of carbon dots is strongly quenched when they contact either semiconductive or conductive nanotubes, indicating a strong electronic coupling to both. Theoretical simulations predict a favo…
LA CLASS ACTION E LA FUNZIONE DI DETERRENZA DEGLI ILLECITI CIVILI IN PROSPETTIVA COMPARATISTICA
2011
La ricerca affronta l'esame dell'istituto della class action o azione collettiva risarcitoria da tempo esistente nel sistema americano e di recente recepito nell'ordinamento italiano, attraverso la L.23 luglio 2009 n.99, che ha modificato la pregressa disciplina di cui all'art.2 comma 446 della L. 24 dicembre 2007 n.244 (finanziaria 2008), sia pur con alcune rilevanti differenze rispetto al sistema americano che ne riducono le potenzialità applicative (si consideri, ad es., la scelta italiana del sistema di opt-in piuttosto che del sistema di opt-out). Accanto alla class action - per l'analoga funzione di deterrenza - si esaminano i c.d. punitive damages o danni punitivi, per lungo tempo di…
Brevi note su alcune esperienze di trapianti giuridici in Europa
2016
The research aims to explain and illustrate the legal transplants theory, created by the well-known Scottish jurist Alan Watson, and tries to discover the foundation of its legitimacy in relation with some common law rules. In fact some relevant private law rules, which have been transplanted in more legal systems, will be examined so to underline the different impact of the same rule in different contexts for the deep influence of social, cultural and political factors on the legal principles. Specifically the different impact on legal systems of a particular civil action, the class action, born in Usa and circulated both in civil and in common law countries, will be examined. In the same …
Purification and partial characterization of aminopeptidase from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seeds.
2013
Aminopeptidases (EC 3.4.11) are proteolytic enzymes, which hydrolyze one amino acid from N-terminus of peptidic substrates. Inhibitors of plant aminopeptidases can find an application in agriculture as herbicides. Isolation and partial characterization of aminopeptidase from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seeds has been described. The enzyme was purified to molecular homogeneity using a six-step purification procedure (precipitation with (NH4)2SO4, followed by chromatography on Sephadex G-25, DEAE-Sepharose, Sephacryl HR 300, Macro-Prep Q and Phenyl-Sepharose HP columns). The enzyme was purified 365-fold with recovery above 18%. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was determined by SDS…
Energy level determination of purine containing blue light emitting organic compounds
2018
Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) have found their applications in the mobile and TV screens. Till now the commercially available diodes are made by expensive thermal evaporation in a vacuum. The costs of OLED fabrication could be decreased by applying low-cost wet casting methods, for example, spin-coating. In this work, we have studied a group of blue light emitting purine derivatives which could potentially be used in OLEDs. The advantage of these compounds is their ability to form amorphous thin films from solutions. All the thin films were prepared by the spincoating method from chloroform solution on ITO glass. The position of hole and electron transport energy levels is important …
Poly[[tetramethanolbis[4-oxo-3-(pyridin-4-yl)-1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6-olato]disodium]–diethyl ether–metha…
2016
In the title compound, [Na2(C16H7Cl3N5O2)2(CH3OH)4]·C4H10O·2CH3OH, the central pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine system makes dihedral angles of 82.98 (7)° with the trichlorophenyl ring and 13.11 (15)° with the pyridine ring. The sodium ion has an octahedral environment, being coordinated by four methanol molecules and one O and one N atom of two different heterocyclic ring systems.
Halogen Bonds in 2,5-Dihalopyridine-Copper(I) Halide Coordination Polymers
2019
Two series of 2,5-dihalopyridine-Cu(I)A (A = I, Br) complexes based on 2-X-5-iodopyridine and 2-X-5-bromopyridine (X = F, Cl, Br and I) are characterized by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to examine the nature of C2&minus
(2-Pyridyl)sulfonyl Groups for ortho -Directing Palladium- Catalyzed Carbon-Halogen Bond Formation at Functionalized Arenes
2017
International audience; We describe an efficient palladium-catalyzed selective C-H ortho-monohalogenation (X=I, Br, Cl, F) of various functionalized (2-pyridyl) aryl-sulfones. ortho-, meta-and para-functionalization is tolerated at the arene group which undergoes C-H halogenation. Some modifications are also possible on the 2-(arylsulfonyl) heteroaryl directing groups. A comparison of the halogenation efficiency suggests that bromination is the practical method of choice, while chlorination and fluorination are possible but more challenging. Under forcing conditions ortho-dihalogenation can also be achieved.
Pyrolytic behavior of lignocellulosic-based polysaccharides
2018
The thermochemical behavior of cellulose, glucomannan, and xylan was investigated by pyrolysis–gas chromatographymass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). In each case, major GC-amenable condensable products were classified into several compound groups, and the formation of these monomer-related fragments from the model substance samples was determined at 500, 600, and 700 C with a residence time of 5 s and 20 s. The results revealed that despite some general formation trends, no compound group was selectively formed at certain temperatures. Of the 11 product groups, the primary ones, including lactone, furan, and cyclopentenone derivatives, accounted for 72–85% (from cellulose), 86–90% (from glucomann…
