Verso una dimensione narrativa delle mappe
2021
Tra il pensiero e la costruzione dell’architettura il disegno ha un ruolo baricentrico per connettere i diversi protagonisti di una realizzazione e per coinvolgere la collettività facendo percepire inedite prospettive. La scrittura si rivela utile per esplicitare ciò che nella grafica è sotteso e per stabilire un ordine nuovo nel ragionamento progettuale. I rapporti fra segni e significati si moltiplicano nei sistemi informativi recenti in cui si ha la sensazione di poter dire moltissimo (dati numerici e spaziali) ma a volte sfugge quella sintesi indispensabile per una interpretazione concreta, finalizzata alla costruzione di possibili esperienze fisiche. Per l’esplorazione dell’uso di dive…
Habitat preferences of Bonelli's Eagles Aquila fasciata in Sicily
2012
Capsule For breeding, areas dominated by extensive agricultural and rugged Mediterranean landscapes are preferred; maintenance of habitat heterogeneity and extensive agriculture are key for the conservation of this eagle. Aims To model breeding habitat preferences of Bonelli’s Eagles Aquila fasciata in Sicily, where the last viable population still remains in Italy, in order to identify the most important habitats for conservation. Methods Pairs were monitored between 1990 and 2010. A case-control design through GLMs was used at two spatial scales: landscape and home-range. Variables included topographic, climatic, land-use, road and descriptors of habitat heterogeneity. Information-based c…
L'esame di coscienza della cultura italiana. Golia di Giuseppe Antonio Borgese
2015
The essay analyzes "Goliath. The March of Fascism" (1946) by G.A. Borgese, a pamphlet in which the author leads a ruthless historical-political examination of the cultural reasons for the birth of Fascism, an indictment against the culturale vices of a nation born from the fantasy of a great poet, Dante, and a severe analysis of Italian culture overwhelmed by the ‘war party’, seduced by the ‘mysticism of the word’.
Bacillus subtilis BS-2 and Peppermint Oil as Biocontrol Agents Against Botrytis cinerea
2019
The purpose of this study was to assess the activity of Bacillus subtilis BS-2 and peppermint oil against Botrytis cinerea. In this study parameters such as the age and the density of the bacterial culture and the incubation temperature were taken into consideration. Furthermore, the cellulolytic activity of the bacterium was determined. The effect of peppermint oil was evaluated at a concentration range of 0.5-4.0 %. The research was conducted with a dual culture plate method. The influence of B. subtilis BS-2 and peppermint oil on the growth of B. cinerea was evaluated based on the growth rate index. It was noted that the bacterial culture occurred at an initial density of OD560 = 1.0, cu…
Esistenza, dialettica, valore nel pensiero di Giuseppe Cantillo
2021
The article aims to place Giuseppe Cantillo’s studies collected in his latest two books, focused respectively on Hegel and dialectics and Jaspers and existence, in the overall research itinerary of the Italian philosopher. The paper seeks to highlight the coherence and conceptual openness of Cantillo’s investigation of history, the human being’s existential conditions, as well as of its theological implications. This meditation is characterized, on the one hand, by the anchorage to the transcendental dimension of thought and, on the other hand, by the adherence to the concreteness of history. These two aspects are linked by the sphere of values, which shed light on the finalistic and person…
Effects of Foliar Application of Gibberellic Acid on the Salt Tolerance of Tomato and Sweet Pepper Transplants
2020
Seed germination and early seedling growth are the plant growth stages most sensitive to salt stress. Thus, the availability of poor-quality brackish water can be a big limiting factor for the nursery vegetable industry. The exogenous supplementation of gibberellic acid (GA3) may promote growth and vigor and counterbalance salt stress in mature plants. This study aimed to test exogenous supplementation through foliar spray of 10&minus
Capsaicin Intake and Oral Carcinogenesis: a Systematic Review
2021
Background Chili is the most heavily and frequently consumed spice, either as a flavouring or colouring agent, and it is also a major source of pro-vitamin A, vitamin E and C. The main capsinoidcapsaicinoid found in chili peppers is capsaicin. It has been demonstrated that capsaicin acts as a cancer-suppressing agent through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, by blocking several signal transduction pathways. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most prevalent cancer worldwide. It is noteworthy that in countries where populations of diverse ethnic groups co-exist, differences have been observed in terms of incidence of oral cancer. The variances in their diet could explain,…
Le settimane sociali dei cattolici tra antico e moderno: il ruolo di Giuseppe Toniolo
2010
Nel saggio è ricostruito il ruolo teorico e organizzativo di Giuseppe Toniolo nella fondazione e promozione delle Settimane sociali dei cattolici italiani. Il suo contributo sarà sotto molti profili decisivo per ripensare riposizionare la presenza dei cattolici nello Stato italiano tra Ottocento e Novecento, dopo il difficile passaggio determinato dall'esito del processo di unificazione
Il metodo del confronto: un laboratorio di idee per il recupero della centrale termoelettrica “Tifeo” di Augusta
2018
Il saggio espone un lavoro di ricerca attorno ai temi del “restauro del Moderno” applicato sul recupero della centrale termoelettrica di Augusta, pregevole opera di Giuseppe Samonà. Tale ricerca si è sviluppata nell’ambito del Dottorato di ricerca in Progettazione Architettonica di Palermo grazie ad un protocollo d’intesa firmato cn ENEL. I presupposti metodologici della ricerca , si fondano sulla coincidenza tra restauro e progetto e sulla consapevolezza che l’esperienza del progetto di architettura (ancor più se attuato sul corpo di architetture di qualità già esistenti) sia un fattore di conoscenza decisivo e che solo mettendo il manufatto alla prova del progetto, è possibile acquisire (…
Application of TLC and GC-MS to the detection of capsaicin from hot peppers(Capsicum annuum)
2004
Capsaicin was extracted from red hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruits and from commercial red hot pepper powder and separated on silica gel 60 plates with concentration zone (Merck); toluene-acetone-chloroform, 45 + 30 + 25 ( v/v ), was used as mobile phase. Detection was performed by exposure to iodine vapor. The spots assumed to arise from capsaicin were removed from the plate and the components were extracted with chloroform. The extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry.
