Problematics of Bonds in Hugh MacDiarmid's Poetry
2012
Hugh MacDiarmid is considered the most important Scottish poet of the 20th century. He is mostly celebrated for the Scots lyrics he wrote in the 1920s and his long poem A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle, published in 1926. Because of their fragmentation, the poems of the Thirties, most of which were part of the unpublished project Mature Art, and In Memoriam James Joyce (1955), have not attracted the same critical attention. However, they represent the culmination of a very complex stylistic crisis that this study offers to analyse thanks to the question of bonds, especially problematic bonds. The poetry portrays humanity torn by social division, treason and death, but it deals with loss too…
La remuneración económica de las adivinas y hechiceras en Roma
1999
Las adivinas y hechiceras romanas profesionales recibían salarios muchos más bajos que los profesionales masculinos. Ello era debido tanto a su escasa consideración social como al hecho de que jamás tuvieron acceso a un conocimiento teórico, reservado para los hombres. Por otra parte, las fuentes ponen de manifiesto la atracción que cónsules y emperadores romanos sintieron por las vates y sagae extranjeras.
The effects of recreational Paracentrotus lividus fishing on distribution patterns of sea urchins at Ustica Island MPA (Western Mediterranean, Italy)
2006
This study evaluated the effects of recreational Paracentrotus lividus fishing on average density and size of this edible sea urchin, and its indirect effects on Arbacia lixula on barren substrates of Ustica Island MPA (SW Italy, Mediterranean Sea). Size, single and pooled species densities, density of large individuals (>40 mm long) and small individuals (<20 mm long) of the two species were estimated by scuba diving in autumn 2003, spring and summer 2004 at two sites impacted by P. lividus fishing (Punta Cavazzi and Pagliaro, take zone C) and one control (Cala Sidoti, no take zone). Two samplings were performed in each season. We found that reduced densities of P. lividus and A. lixula oc…
Indirect estimation of calibration equation parameters for Sentek Diviner 2000 capacitance probe by means of soil physical properties
2014
Measurements of soil water content (SWC) are often used for irrigation scheduling. Accurate monitoring of SWC is necessary, for example, to identify the exact irrigation timing and the amount of water volume to supply according to the crop requirement. The use of capacitance probes, measuring the apparent soil dielectric permittivity, indirectly related to soil water status, have been increasing during the last decade, as proved by the numerous researches carried out to determine, for different soil types, site-specific calibration relationships between SWC and the scaled frequency (SF) measured by the sensor. However, for swelling/shrinking clay soils, there is a lack of knowledge on how t…
Scuba diver behaviour and its effects on the biota of a Mediterranean marine protected area
2009
The effects of diving activity in different Mediterranean subtidal habitats are scarcely known. This study evaluates diver behaviour (for example time spent in each habitat), use (contacts made with the substrate) and immediate effects of diver contact on benthic species in a marine protected area (MPA) in Sicily. Over a two-year period, intentions of 105 divers were observed within seven subtidal habitats: algae on horizontal substrate, algae on vertical substrate, Posidonia oceanica, encrusted walls, caves, sand and pebbles. Divers selected a habitat in proportion to its availability along the scuba trail. On average, each diver made 2.52 contacts every seven minutes, and no differences w…
Developing a scuba trail vulnerability index (STVI): a case study from a Mediterranean MPA
2008
Scuba diving is now one of the major form of commercial use of marine protected areas (MPAs) around the world and the control of its potential impacts on the marine environment represents a fundamental key to manage this recreational activity in highly dived areas. A potential tool to tackle such issues has been thought to be the definition of a value of recreational carrying capacity of an area, but this approach has been rarely considered management-effective. Therefore, the first step for effectively managing scuba-diving should be ‘bottom-up’: characterizing the benthic communities potentially affected by diving and evaluating their vulnerability. Aim of this paper is to propose a tool …
Ciprofloxacin Polymers Derived from Diallyltin and Divinyltin Dihalides
2008
The initial synthesis of condensation polymers from newly available divinyltin dichloride and diallyltin dichloride and ciprofloxacin is accomplished employing a modified interfacial polycondensation process. The polymeric (DP are about 2,000) products are rapidly (less than 15 seconds) formed in good yield. Infrared spectroscopy shows the formation of Sn-O and Sn-N bonds as predicted from the proposed structure. F-MALDI MS also shows ion fragments containing organotin in the predicted isotopic abundances as well as ion fragments containing both organotin and ciprofloxacin. The polymers exhibit low toxicity towards healthy WI-38 cells with variable toxicities towards a variety of cancer cel…
