Fonti, suggestioni e intersezioni classiche, tardoantiche e medievali nell’«Alda» di Guglielmo di Blois
2019
In questo saggio vengono studiate le fonti classiche, tardoantiche e medievali dell’«Alda», commedia elegiaca latina di Guglielmo di Blois (scritta verso il 1169-1170). In particolare, dopo una presentazione generale dell’opera e una rassegna critica degli studi e delle edizioni, ci si sofferma sulle suggestioni attinte a Terenzio, Virgilio, Orazio, Ovidio, Stazio, all’«Aegritudo Perdicae», Massimiano, Boezio, Ildeberto di Lavardin, ad alcune commedie elegiache del sec. XII (il «Geta» e l’«Aulularia» di Vitale di Blois, il «Pamphilus», la «Lidia» di Arnolfo d’Orléans) e alla tradizione novellistica “orientale” («Mischle Sendebar»). This essay is founded on the classical, late and medieval s…
Modern Impressionist or Idyllic Genre Painter? Zorn’s European Fame from an Italian Perspective
2013
This article examines Zorn's international fame (France, Germany) and then focuses on the Swedish painter's controversial reception in Italian media (Vittorio Pica, Ardengo Soffici).
Effects of Extraction Conditions on Bioactive Anthocyanin Content of Vaccinium Corymbosum in the Perspective of Food Applications
2012
Abstract Bioflavonoids, in particular anthocyanins have made the topic of many scientific research, mainly for two reasons: their beneficial effects on human health and applications as potential sources of natural food dyes. Natural extracts of these pigments may also find useful application for textiles dying, as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes. The aim of the present paper was to apply conventional extraction procedures in order to isolate an enriched crude extract of pigments from highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). Water, hydroalcoholic solution and acidified alcoholic solvent were tested to extract anthocyanins by a discontinuous process. Also, temperatures of…
Evaluación de la digestión in vitro de compuestos bioactivos de arándanos
2018
Estudios in vivo e in vitro han demostrado que las antocianinas provenientes de los arándanos ejercen efectos biológicos beneficiosos sobre la salud de los consumidores. Existen métodos de análisis in vitro que permiten evaluar la estabilidad de las antocianinas en relación con la interacción de los distintos componentes de las matrices alimentarias, el pH, la temperatura, presencia de inhibidores o potenciadores de absorción y presencia de enzimas. El objetivo del trabajo fue poner a punto la metodología de digestión in vitro y evaluar la biodisponibilidad in vitro de antocianinas presentes en jugo de arándanos y un snack formulado con jugo de arándanos y manzana. Los resultados indican qu…
Characterization of the antimicrobial susceptibility of fungi responsible for onychomycosis in Spain
2010
Due to the increase of choices relative to antifungals, there is a need to improve the standardization of in vitro methods used to determine the antifungal susceptibility of fungal pathogens. Our study evaluated the in vitro susceptibility of filamentous fungi isolated from patients with toenail onychomycosis against itraconazole, ciclopirox, eberconazole, fluconazole and terbinafine. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of these antifungal agents was determined with 100 isolates, including dermatophytes (70 strains) and non-dermatophyte molds (30 strains). The susceptibility of fungal isolates was measured by using a technique modified for dermatophytes (0.5 × 10(3)-0.5 × 10(4) conid…
Flavonoids from Erythrina schliebenii
2017
Prenylated and O-methylflavonoids including one new pterocarpan (1), three new isoflavones (2–4), and nineteen known natural products (5–23) were isolated and identified from the root, stem bark, and leaf extracts of Erythrina schliebenii. The crude extracts and their constituents were evaluated for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv strain), showing MICs of 32–64 μg mL–1 and 36.9–101.8 μM, respectively. Evaluation of their toxicity against the aggressive human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 indicated EC50 values of 13.0–290.6 μM (pure compounds) and 38.3 to >100 μg mL–1 (crude extracts).
Il caso Webern. Ricostruzione di un delitto
2021
La sera del 15 settembre 1945, a guerra ormai conclusa, il compositore Anton Webern fu assassinato da un cuoco dell'esercito americano. Le circostanze del delitto sono rimaste in parte senza spiegazione e proiettano un'ombra sulla biografia di Webern nel suo complesso. Il libro traccia un profilo biografico del compositore, con particolare riferimento agli ultimi anni della sua vita e mistero della sua morte. On the evening of September 15, 1945, when the war was over, the composer Anton Webern was assassinated by a cook of the American occupation army. The circumstances of the crime remain in some respects unsolved and cast a shadow over Webern's biography as a whole. The book is a portrai…
A note on topological dimension, Hausdorff measure, and rectifiability
2020
The purpose of this note is to record a consequence, for general metric spaces, of a recent result of David Bate. We prove the following fact: Let $X$ be a compact metric space of topological dimension $n$. Suppose that the $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of $X$, $\mathcal H^n(X)$, is finite. Suppose further that the lower n-density of the measure $\mathcal H^n$ is positive, $\mathcal H^n$-almost everywhere in $X$. Then $X$ contains an $n$-rectifiable subset of positive $\mathcal H^n$-measure. Moreover, the assumption on the lower density is unnecessary if one uses recently announced results of Cs\"ornyei-Jones.
Approximation and quasicontinuity of Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin functions
2016
We show that, for $0<s<1$, $0<p<\infty$, $0<q<\infty$, Haj\l asz-Besov and Haj\l asz-Triebel-Lizorkin functions can be approximated in the norm by discrete median convolutions. This allows us to show that, for these functions, the limit of medians, \[ \lim_{r\to 0}m_u^\gamma(B(x,r))=u^*(x), \] exists quasieverywhere and defines a quasicontinuous representative of $u$. The above limit exists quasieverywhere also for Haj\l asz functions $u\in M^{s,p}$, $0<s\le 1$, $0<p<\infty$, but approximation of $u$ in $M^{s,p}$ by discrete (median) convolutions is not in general possible.
Inside the Thompson laboratory during the “cerebellar years” and the continuing cerebellar story
2011
This paper is based on the talk by one of the authors (DL) given at the symposium for the retirement of RF Thompson (RF Thompson: A bridge between 20th and 21st century neuroscience). We first make some informal observations of the historical times and research conditions in the Thompson laboratory when the cerebellum was found to play a critical role in eye lid classical conditioning, the "cerebellar years". These conditions influenced our collaborative international program on the phenomenon known as "transfer of training" or "savings". Our research shows that the appearance of "savings" is an artifact of the order of testing, and depends upon the functioning of the contralateral interpos…
