Volatile constituents of aerial parts ofCentaurea sibthorpii(Sect. Carduiformes, Asteraceae) from Greece and their biological activity
2008
The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Centaurea sibthorpii [Sect. Carduiformes, Asteraceae] collected in Greece were extracted by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC and GC-MS. Altogether 63 components were identified. Fatty acids and sesquiterpenoidic compounds were the most abundant components in the oil. A study on the biological activity of the oil showed no action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
De capitanías generales y tesorerías militares: el control financiero y sus dilemas en tiempos de Alejandro Farnesio (siglo XVI)
2015
A partir de fuentes inéditas, este artículo analiza qué tipo de medidas administrativas estableció la Corona en la década de 1580 para someter la gestión financiera de la capitanía general del ejército de Flandes a un control más riguroso. también proporciona evidencias documentales de por qué la Corona desistió en su empeño fiscalizador en esta misma década. Con ello, el artículo muestra la disyuntiva de incrementar o rebajar el control que se planteaba en coyunturas clave. Además, pone de manifiesto el apoderamiento que la función fiscalizadora del consumo de fondos militares podía proporcionar en un escenario de guerra; la resistencia que semejante apoderamiento suscitaba entre los agent…

Ricco di immagini spettacolari e dotato di apparati scientifici di immediata consultazione e di assoluto aggiornamento, il volume racconta i secoli d'oro della famiglia Farnese: le residenze, i protagonisti, le co…
Capillary Liquid Chromatography for the Determination of Terpenes in Botanical Dietary Supplements
2021
Dietary supplements of botanical origin are increasingly consumed due to their content of plant constituents with potential benefits on health and wellness. Among those constituents, terpenes are gaining attention because of their diverse biological activities (anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, geroprotective, and others). While most of the existing analytical methods have focused on establishing the terpenic fingerprint of some plants, typically by gas chromatography, methods capable of quantifying representative terpenes in herbal preparations and dietary supplements with combined high sensitivity and precision, simplicity, and high throughput are still necessary. In this study, we have e…
Tapered Multiblock Copolymers Based on Farnesene and Styrene: Impact of Biobased Polydiene Architectures on Material Properties
2020
The reactivity of the biobased monomer β-farnesene in the statistical anionic copolymerization with styrene and the effect of the bottlebrush-like polyfarnesene structure on the phase separation be...
I codici in scrittura latina di Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589) a Caprarola e al Palazzo della Cancelleria nel 1589
2016
This article analyses the contents of the manuscripts in Latin script found at the Villa Farnese of Caprarola and the Palazzo della Cancelleria of Rome at the death of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (1520-1589). They were inventoried by Claudio Tobalducci, librarian to the Cardinal; the inventories were edited by Francois Fossier. Although the manuscript collections seem neither organic nor systematically constituted by the Cardinal (the volumes were mainly borrowed from the great Farnese library in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome), the manuscripts were used by the Cardinal in the last years of his life. They shed light on at least some of the personal interests of this important ecclesiastical, p…
