Potential allelopathic activity ofSideritis italica(Miller) Greuter et Burdet essential oil
2011
Sideritis italica (Miller) Greuter et Burdet is a widespread Mediterranean Lamiacea. Essential oils from S. italica flowerheads and leaves were extracted by hydrodistillation and then tested for their potential allelopathic activity against Raphanus sativus L. (Magnoliophyta) and the moss Tortula muralis (Hedw.) (Bryophyta), two organisms already tested for allelopathy, and against two bryophytes growing in the same environment as S. italica: the moss Bryum capillare Hedw. and the liverwort Lunularia cruciata (L.) Dum. For R. sativus, we considered seed germination and root and epicotyl growth. For the mosses, we used spore germination and protonemata development, while for the liverwort, w…
N,N-Diallylglycidylamine: A Key Monomer for Amino-Functional Poly(ethylene glycol) Architectures
2012
The first application of N,N-diallylglycidylamine (DAGA) as a monomer for anionic ring-opening polymerization is presented. The monomer is obtained in a one-step procedure using epichlorohydrin and N,N-diallylamine. Both random and block copolymers consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(N,N-diallylglycidylamine) with adjusted DAGA ratios from 2.5 to 24% have been prepared, yielding well-defined materials with low polydispersities (Mw/Mn) in the range 1.04–1.19. Molecular weights ranged between 2600 and 10 300 g mol–1. Isomerization of allylamine to enamine structures during polymerization depending on time, temperature, and counterion has been realized. The kinetics of the formation o…
Anorganische verbindungen als lösungsmittel für polymere und monomere. Polymerisationen in phosphoroxychlorid und thionylchlorid
1966
Die Loslichkeit verschiedener Monomerer, Polymerer und Polymerisationskatalasatoren in anorganischen Verbindungen wurde untersucht. Chloride und Oxychloride des Phosphors und Schwefels zeigten gute Losungseigenschaften. Thionylchlorid und Phosphoroxychlorid wurden als Losungsmittel bei der kationischen Polymerisation von Styrol, Isobutylvinylather, 3,3-Bis-(chlormethyl)-oxetan, Tetrahydrofuran und Epichlorhydrin eingeaetzt. Als geeignete Katalysatoren erwiesen sich hierbei Aluminiumchlorid und Eisentrichlorid. In Phosphoroxychlorid konnten Acrylnitril und Vinylchlorid radikalisch polymerisiert werden. The solubility of a series of monomers, polymers, and initiators in inorganic compounds wa…

The trees in the middle of Paradise (Gn 2:9) during the Great Lent: Orthodox hymnography as biblical interpretation
2022
The article examines the interpretation of the Scripture in Byzantine hymnography during the Great Lent. Some notable recent contributions focus on Andrew of Crete’s and Romanos the Melodist’s compositions, illustrating the hymnographic way of understanding the Scriptures. The author of this study presents a selection of stanzas from hymns of the Triodion that refer to the trees of Paradise. Hymnography perceives the trees in Genesis 2–3 in direct connection with the cross. Only rarely is the tree of life a metaphor for Jesus, as the shadow of the tree of the cross is seldom a metaphor for protection. Another interesting aspect in relation to hymnography is the fact that it represents a typ…
Heritable Epichloë symbiosis shapes fungal but not bacterial communities of plant leaves
2019
Keystone microbial species have driven eco-evolutionary processes since the origin of life. However, due to our inability to detect the majority of microbiota, members of diverse microbial communities of fungi, bacteria and viruses have largely been ignored as keystone species in past literature. Here we tested whether heritable Epichloë species of pooidae grasses modulate microbiota of their shared host plant. peerReviewed
Dall'epica al mito
2021
Il saggio analizza la storia di Salvatore Giuliano nella rappresentazione di due cantastorie siciliani, Salvatore Bella e Ciccio Busacca, e ne mette in luce i meccanismi di costruzione e trasfigurazione che trasfigurano la vicenda storica in narrazione epica e mitica. The essay analyzes the story of Salvatore Giuliano in the representation of two Sicilian storytellers, Salvatore Bella and Ciccio Busacca, and highlights the mechanisms of construction and transfiguration that transfigure the historical event into epic and mythical narration.

Physiologizing (In)fertility in the Roman World: Lucretius on Sacrifice, Nature, and Generation
2016
The present paper reassesses the intellectual background of Lucretius’ treatment of infertility in 4.1233-1241, pointing out the author’s ability to combine genuine Epicurean doctrine and Roman cultural patterns. Lucretius’ denigration of religious mentality and his efforts to offer an entirely rational explanation of (in)fertility are interpreted in light of both internal evidence in the De Rerum Natura (e.g. 1.1-20; 248-264; 2.581- 660) and differents kinds of external evidence - including the so-called Laudatio Turiae, Rome’s fertility cults, and underused Epicurean sources such as PHerc 908/1390. Indeed, while systematically delegitimizing the traditional connection between supernatural…
Imagen, lugar de memoria y mito. En torno al Alcázar de Toledo
2009
El presente texto analiza la función de la producción de imágenes (fotográficas, pictóricas, cinematográficas, arquitectónicas) en la mitología franquista que se refiere a la guerra civil. El Alcázar de Toledo fue un escenario emblemático de la guerra, un lugar de memoria por su resistencia, pero también un edificio aureolado de historia. A través del estudio del tratamiento arquitectónico que se dio al edificio (mantenimiento de las ruinas, restauración...), así como de su vida ceremonial, es posible analizar la visión épica que alimentó la memoria franquista y la relación entre el pasado imaginado y el presente.This paper analyzes the role of the images in the Francoist mythology concerni…
