Fatty Acids as Biomarkers of the Production Season of Caciocavallo Palermitano Cheese
2021
Simple Summary In the Mediterranean environment, climatic variability determines a discontinuity in the forage availability of pastures. Caciocavallo Palermitano is a cheese obtained from the milk of the Cinisara cattle breed, mainly raised on pasture. The present study investigated the fatty acid profile of cheeses produced in two typical farms in the four seasons of the year, with the aim of identifying specific fatty acids that can be used as biomarkers to discriminate the productions obtained in the different seasons, in order to economically enhance those seasonal productions that have better health characteristics. The results revealed the possibility of distinguishing spring producti…
Ba/Ca evolution in water masses of the Mediterranean late Neogene
2008
[1] A Mediterranean composite sedimentary record was analyzed for Ba/Ca ratios on carbonate shells of Orbulina universa planktonic foraminifer (Ba/Ca)carb providing the opportunity to study and assess the extent of freshwater inputs on the basin and possible impacts on its dynamics during the Tortonian to Recent period. A number of scanning electron microscope analyses and auxiliary trace element measurements (Mn, Sr, and Mg), obtained from the same samples, exclude important diagenetic effects on the studied biogenic carbonates and corroborate the reliability of (Ba/Ca)carb ratios in foraminifera calcite as indicators of seawater source components during the studied interval. A long-term t…
Risk of predation and foraging sites of individuals in mixed-species tit flocks
1993
Abstract Abstract. Foraging sites of individual willow tits, Parus montanus, and crested tits, P. cristatus, on spruce were studied in a winter when the risk of predation from pygmy owls, Glaucidium passerinum, was high and in a winter when it was low. Mixed-species flocks consisted of two crested tits (a pair) and three to six willow tits. The risk of predation from owls is likely to be highest on the most exterior tree parts. Female crested tits foraged further out on the branches than other individuals when predation risk was low, but foraged in the safer sites close to the tree trunk when the risk was high. Male crested tits retained both their relative distance to the trunk and their r…
Ultraviolet reflection and predation risk in diurnal and nocturnal Lepidoptera
2004
According to our extensive data on Lepidoptera (883 species), UV wing patterns are almost three times more common in nocturnal than in diurnal Lepidoptera. This might be due to predation, because the primary diurnal predators, birds, utilize UV light in foraging and even prefer UV-reflecting prey. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a field experiment with tethered living moths whose wings were artificially manipulated to reflect (UV+, reflection at UV wavelength: 15%) or absorb (UV - ) UV light, keeping longer wavelengths identical. Thus, any difference found in survival rates would be the result of the difference in wing patterns in UV spectrum. Significantly more UV+ moths th…

Tekstikoneen aivotoiminta : ergodisuus ja sen mallintaminen Jaakko Yli-Juonikkaan romaanissa Neuromaani
2013
Tarkastelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani ergodisuutta ja sen saamia metaforisia malleja Jaakko Yli-Juonikkaan romaanissa Neuromaani (2012). Teoksen luvut on linkitetty toisiinsa monimutkaisilla tavoilla, ja niitä voi lukea haluamassaan järjestyksessä. Työni teoreettisena lähtökohtana on Espen Aarsethin kybertekstiteoria, jossa teksti nähdään merkityksiä tuottavana koneena ja lukija koneen käyttäjänä. Neuromaani vaatii lukijalta ei-triviaalia työtä, joten se on Aarsethin mukaan ergodinen teksti. Tavoitteenani on ensimmäiseksi tutkia, millaista aktiivisuutta lukijalta vaaditaan, ja millaisiin vaikeuksiin lukija ajautuu pyrkiessään etenemään tekstissä. Toiseksi tarkastelen tälle lukijan aktiivisu…
A rare case of perforated ileal diverticulitis in a young man: A case report and literature review
2021
Jejunoileal diverticulosis is a rare, often asymptomatic condition, consisting of acquired false diverticula. Diagnosis of ileal perforation is usually made incidentally or after complications, including obstruction, haemorrhage and diverticulitis. A previously healthy 17-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with diffuse abdominal pain and fever. CT scan showed air-fluid level in the RLQ and free intraperitoneal air and fluid. The patient underwent an urgent exploratory laparotomy with an intestinal resection and primary anastomosis. We report a rare case of ileal perforation, due to diverticular disease in a healthy young man, treated an urgent surgery. Such an event requires…
Vigilance and food intake rate in paired and solitary Zenaida DovesZenaida aurita
2011
We quantified vigilance during feeding in the Zenaida Dove Zenaida aurita, a tropical species with stable pair-bonds and year-round territoriality. Both males and females decreased the proportion of time spent vigilant by 30% when feeding with their partner compared with when feeding alone. This reduction was achieved through increasing the length of inter-scan duration, while scan duration remained constant. No evidence was found for coordination of vigilance between pair members. The equal investment in vigilance by male and female Zenaida Doves might be related to the mutual benefits of long-term pair-bonding.
