Development of protofragipanic horizon after severe degradation processes of greenhouses soil
2014
Plant growing in greenhouses and plastic tunnels has some advantages: obtaining early production, plant protection against hail, hoarfrost, late spring and early autumn frosts. The main criteria considered for setting greenhouses are the existence of heating and water sources. Due to the compulsory location imposed by the above conditions, many greenhouses were placed on soils having low capability. After application of ameliorative measures some satisfactory results could be obtained on a relatively short period. Our studies on some soils in greenhouses and plastic tunnels in Romania have shown that after 15-20 years of the intensive exploitation an impermeable soil horizon with brittle bl…
De Finnis cornutis
2014
<p><em>Horned Finns</em>. The ‘cornuti Finni’ mentioned in the <em>Historia Norwegiae</em> have not found their explanation, because the Latin word <em>cornu</em>, from which the adjective is derived, has been understood in the strict sense of ‘horn on the head’. The Latin word, however, also means ‘hoof’ of horses or ‘cloven hoof’ of cows and goats, even of the mythologic Faunus and Pan. In December 1913 Kai Donner saw in Dudinka Avam-Samojeds, who because of their cylindrically shaped reindeer winter boots, the front of which was hoof-shaped, were called ‘hoofed men’ (in Finnish ‘kaviolliset miehet’). In the extracts of Aristeas of Proconnesus, wh…
The sf32 unique gene of Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) is a non-essential gene that could be involved in nucleocapsid o…
2013
A recombinant virus lacking the sf32 gene (Sf32null), unique to the Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV), was generated by homologous recombination from a bacmid comprising the complete viral genome (Sfbac). Transcriptional analysis revealed that sf32 is an early gene. Occlusion bodies (OBs) of Sf32null contained 62% more genomic DNA than viruses containing the sf32 gene, Sfbac and Sf32null-repair, although Sf32null DNA was three-fold less infective when injected in vivo. Sf32null OBs were 18% larger in diameter and contained 17% more nucleocapsids within ODVs than those of Sfbac. No significant differences were detected in OB pathogenicity (50% lethal concentration)…

La Gipsoteca del Dipartimento Culture e Società dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo. Storia e catalogo
2017
Il volume presenta, per la prima volta, la storia e il catalogo della Gipsoteca del Dipartimento Culture e Società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo. Si tratta di un’importante raccolta di calchi in gesso di sculture antiche, voluta da Antonino Salinas (1841-1914) ai tempi del suo magistero accademico e ora completamente riordinata, grazie a un nuovo allestimento curato dallo stesso autore di questo libro. The volume presents, for the first time, the history and catalog of the Gipsoteca of the Culture and Society Department of the University of Palermo. This is an important collection of plaster casts of ancient sculptures, commissioned by Antonino Salinas (1841-1914) at the time of hi…
Reduced membrane-bound alkaline phosphatase does not affect binding of Vip3Aa in a Heliothis virescens resistant colony
2020
The Vip3Aa insecticidal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is produced by specific transgenic corn and cotton varieties for efficient control of target lepidopteran pests. The main threat to this technology is the evolution of resistance in targeted insect pests and understanding the mechanistic basis of resistance is crucial to deploy the most appropriate strategies for resistance management. In this work, we tested whether alteration of membrane receptors in the insect midgut might explain the >
Gobernanza y educación superior: fomento de la cultura emprendedora
2009
El fomento de la cultura emprendedora es un tema prioritario en la actual agenda de las políticas públicas de educación superior. El presente artículo analiza la experiencia del proyecto GAZE de fomento de la cultura emprendedora en el estudiantado de educación superior. El proyecto GAZE está basado en la gobernanza donde los usuarios finales de un programa de política pública orientado hacia el emprendimiento participan de su diseño. El artículo ofrece resultados empíricos de talleres de emprendimiento realizados con los estudiantes y un conjunto de recomendaciones de política pública elaboradas por el propio estudiantado.

Proteolytic processing of Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3A proteins by two Spodoptera species
2014
Abstract Vip3 proteins have been described to be secreted by Bacillus thuringiensis during the vegetative growth phase and to display a broad insecticidal spectrum against lepidopteran larvae. Vip3Aa protoxin has been reported to be significantly more toxic to Spodoptera frugiperda than to Spodoptera exigua and differences in the midgut processing have been proposed to be responsible. In contrast, we have found that Vip3Ae is essentially equally toxic against these two species. Proteolysis experiments were performed to study the stability of Vip3A proteins to peptidase digestion and to see whether the differences found could explain differences in toxicity against these two Spodoptera speci…
