Maternal effects in vulnerability to eye-parasites and correlations between behavior and parasitism in juvenile Arctic charr
2017
Hatchery-reared fish show high mortalities after release to the wild environment. Explanations for this include potentially predetermined genetics, behavioral, and physiological acclimation to fish farm environments, and increased vulnerability to predation and parasitism in the wild. We studied vulnerability to Diplostomum spp. parasites (load of eye flukes in the lenses), immune defense (relative spleen size) and antipredator behaviors (approaches toward predator odor, freezing, and swimming activity) in hatchery-reared juvenile Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) using a nested mating design. Fish were exposed to eye-fluke larvae via the incoming water at the hatchery. Fish size was positi…
Expression of yeast but not human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease renders Chinese hamster cells more resistant to DNA damaging agents.
1997
Abasic sites represent ubiquitous DNA lesions that arise spontaneously or are induced by DNA-damaging agents. They block DNA replication and are considered to be cytotoxic and mutagenic. The key enzymes involved in the repair of abasic sites are apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases which process these lesions in an error-free mechanism. To analyze the role of AP endonuclease in the protection of mammalian cells against DNA damaging agents, we have transfected both the human (APE) and the yeast (APN1) AP endonuclease in Chinese hamster cells and compared the effects of expression of these genes in stable transfectants as to survival of cells and formation of chromosomal aberrations. Alth…
Fungal Assemblages Associated with Roots of Halophytic and Non-halophytic Plant Species Vary Differentially Along a Salinity Gradient
2012
Structure of fungal communities is known to be influenced by host plants and environmental conditions. However, in most cases, the dynamics of these variation patterns are poorly understood. In this work, we compared richness, diversity, and composition between assemblages of endophytic and rhizospheric fungi associated to roots of two plants with different lifestyles: the halophyte Inula crithmoides and the non-halophyte I. viscosa (syn. Dittrichia viscosa L.), along a spatially short salinity gradient. Roots and rhizospheric soil from these plants were collected at three points between a salt marsh and a sand dune, and fungi were isolated and characterized by ITS rDNA sequencing. Isolates…

Le cause di giustificazione della responsabilità civile e la nuova legittima difesa
2020
the essay addresses the problem of wrongfulness in torts and analyzes the recent reform of self-defense. In particular, the study highlights the effects on the structure of tort liability of the expansion of the area of necessary and proportional behavior. The essay aims to offer a systematic picture of the justifications in tort liability
In vivo modulation of Bacillus thuringiensis (commercial form) on Holothuria tubulosa immune defense mechanisms
2010
In invertebrates, cellular and humoral components are evolved to maintain their homeostais and integrity. Both these components respond to different non-self such as microorganisms, vertebrate erythrocytes and foreign proteins. The aim of this research was to study the possible modulating effects of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) in a commercial and vegetative form on the immune response of the echinoderm, sea cucumber Holothuria tubulosa. Bt is one of the most used biopesticides worldwide, covering the 90% of the organic market. Sicily is a region vocated to biological control and agricultural area are often closed to the coastal area. Investigate the effect of biopesticides on other non targ…
La “detenzione amministrativa” degli stranieri irregolari nell’ordinamento italiano e dell’Unione europea ed il diritto fondamentale di ogni persona …
2013
AdmInIstratIve Detention of Irregular Foreigners in Italy and in the European Union and the Fundamental Human Right to Personal Freedom and Proper Defense. Foreigners are particularly subject to the restriction of personal freedom. A great number of countries resort to the detention of irregular migrants and asylum seekers by reason of the violation of immigration laws, including irregularly crossing the State border, using false document, non-possession of identification documents, staying after the permit of stay has expired, etc.. In Italy and in other member States of the European Union we can notice an ordinary use of administrative detention of foreigners (without authorization to ent…
Notificazioni al difensore dirette all'imputato
2022
The delegation law, intervening on the discipline of notifications, intends to consolidate the system of notifications by delivery to the defender. The analysis of the various guiding criteria will bring out a picture that seems to favor legal knowledge of the act, in clear contrast to the most recent arrests of jurisprudence.
Colpevolezza attenuata in un caso dubbio di motivazione culturale
2008
L'articolo parte dalla vicenda di un cittadino italiano di origine sarda, condannato dal tribunale tedesco di Bueckeburg con un giudizio attenuato di responsabilità in ragione delle "impronte culturali dell'imputato", per esaminare (anche in chiave comparatistica) i rapporti tra condizionamento culturale e principio di colpevolezza.
Cultura dell'altro e diritto penale
2010
La monografia si occupa di indagare i problematici rapporti tra società multiculturali e diritto penale, esaminando le soluzioni normative e giurisprudenziali finora adottate (con particolare attenzione alla prospettiva comparatistica) e ipotizzando i possibili strumenti penalistici di cui servirsi per trovare un ragionevole contemperamento tra esigenze di individualizzazione della pena e principio di pari tutela della vitttima.
