Spatial variability of soil roughness in persimmon plantations: A new combined ISUM (improved stock unearthing method) approach
2019
Made available in DSpace on 2019-10-06T16:49:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-11-01 Universidade Estadual Paulista Soil roughness (SR) is an ecological indicator that describes the distribution of soil surface accumulations and ponds in a terrain, which allows understanding the connectivity of the flows as they act as sinks and sources of water and sediments. There is a set of methods that allows investigating the SR, and we test the use of the improved stock unearthing method (ISUM) as an easy-to-apply and low-cost approach. The ISUM has been initially tested in vineyards using the graft union and measures in the inter-row areas to assess the current soil surface l…
Morbidity and mortality in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the 1980's.
1993
The purpose of the present study was to examine the general morbidity and mortality rates in the three Baltic republics — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania during a decade before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Official statistical data were used to compare morbidity and mortality rates. A method of standardization and life table functions were employed. Soviet morbidity statistics were predominantly descriptive, and based mainly on crude rates registered cases of illness during a year per 100 000 population. The death rates during the Soviet period are a better indicator of the health of the populations than more specific health indicators. A general deterioration of the ecological, social …
Sedative Effect and Standardization Parameters of Herbal Medicinal Product Obtained from the Ocimum americanum L. Herb
2021
Abstract Sedative phytomedications continue to play an important role in the management of a considerable amount of anxiety symptoms because of the various side effects of synthetic sedatives and tranquilizers. However, developing new herbal drugs needs their appropriate quality control according to the relevant requirements. The aim of the study was to determine the sedative properties of the tinctures obtained from the American basil (Ocimum americanum L., Lamiaceae Martinov family) herb and to develop the standardization parameters for the promising herbal medicinal product. The open field test was used to evaluate the sedative effect of the prepared tinctures: (1) with the added of O. a…
Scientific HIV research in Africa and the Middle East: a socio-economic demographic analysis
2021
Background: In Africa, HIV/AIDS research is concentrated in certain countries, particularly South Africa. This distribution may not accurately reflect the disease prevalence or the true research efforts of countries.Objectives: To identify HIV/AIDS research productivity of countries in Africa and the Middle East, in absolute terms and adjusted for people living with HIV, population size and economic development.Methods: We identified all the articles and reviews on HIV and AIDS in the Web of Science Core Collection in which African or Middle Eastern countries had participated. After determining the number of documents produced by each country, we adjusted the findings for the number of peop…
Demographic Analysis of Bucharest-Ilfov Region
2013
Abstract This paper aims to achieve a study was to research, analyze and interpret statistical data, in conjunction with theoretical aspects that allowed assessment of regional information on population structure in the Bucharest-Ilfov. Bucharest-Ilfov region's population (2,264,865 inhabitants in 2012) is distributed inversely proportional to the size of two administrative entities (Bucharest - the capital of Romania - Ilfov county). Bucharest is the largest urban agglomeration in Romania, its population being 1,924,299 inhabitants, representing about 85% population of the region, more than 16.4% of the urban population of the country, or around 9% of the total population of Romania and ha…
Focused microwave-assisted Soxhlet extraction: An expeditive approach for the isolation of lipids from sausage products
2003
A prototype of extractor based on the conventional Soxhlet principles but assisted in the cartridge zone by focused microwaves is proposed for accelerating the extraction of lipids from sausage products. The extraction process has been optimised using a multivariate design involving the main variables influencing the performance of the prototype (namely, irradiation power P, irradiation time T and number of cycles C). Under the optimum working conditions (P=160 W, T=10 s and C=14), the extraction of lipids from different Spanish sausage products is complete in 45 min. The extracts thus obtained have been compared with those provided by conventional Soxhlet extraction for 8 h by development …
Mineralogical and petrographic analysis of early-Hellenistic mortars from a Punic-Roman residential area discovered at Palermo (Sicily)
2015
Lime based mortars dated back to 4th-3rd century BC were sampled in a Punic-Roman residential area recently brought to light in the historical centre of Palermo. The collected mortars have been analyzed by optical microscopy (PLM), X-ray powder diffraction analysis (XRPD) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS). The study was aimed to characterize these materials from the textural and compositional point of view in order to define the recipes. The mineralogical and petrographic investigations allowed to establish 4 different recipes used for the formulation of the studied floor and wall mortars in terms of both compositional and textural featur…
U.I.R.D.A. – Unbuilt Italian Rationalism Digital Archive
2018
For twenty years, the architecture of Italian rationalism through the digital modelling has been investigated. Very often, the production of a model and the consequent representation of tridimensional views, in many case studies, as outcome of the research on architecture have been considered. Actually, the digital model, intended as a critical tool, has to be conceived as a ‘starting point' for graphic analysis of architecture and not as the outcome. Indeed, it is associated to other graphics, sometimes not ‘deducted' from the model, useful for the understanding/translation of architecture. The construction of the model is not the construction of a simple image, operation, which is often c…
Dialoghi fra storia e disegno: il progetto di Enrico Del Debbio per la Casa del Balilla di Enna
2022
Attraverso il rapporto dialogico tra due diverse discipline afferenti al campo dell’architettura, come la storia e il disegno, in questo saggio si tenterà di indagare un’opera sconosciuta di Enrico Del Debbio, realizzata difformemente rispetto all’ipotesi progettuale: la Casa del Balilla per la città di Enna. Il progetto originario dell’architetto carrarese sarà ricostruito digitalmente a partire dall’esaustiva documentazione grafico-progettuale ritrovata presso il MAXXI di Roma. Un processo esegetico durante il quale si porterà alla luce un frammento finora inedito, quantunque infinitesimale della storia dell’architettura italiana, mediante l’applicazione combinata degli strumenti della Sc…
Francesco Fichera e il Palazzo delle Poste per Noto: studio grafico su un edificio mai realizzato
2022
Si può parlare di dialogo in architettura? Il disegno può essere considerato come la traduzione in forma grafica dei rapporti dialogici in architettura e tra architettura e città? Con questo scritto si tenterà si rispondere ai due quesiti appena formulati attraverso lo studio del caso di un edificio non realizzato dell’architetto catanese Francesco Fichera (1881-1950) per la città emblema del barocco siciliano, Noto: il Palazzo delle Poste e Casa Littoria nella centralissima piazza del Municipio. L’approfondimento sulla documentazione progettuale ritrovata e la successiva fase di ridisegno critico restituiscono una possibile chiave di lettura su un metodo compositivo fortemente ancorato a r…
