Water recycling in leaves of Lithops (Aizoaceae)
2016
Lithops plants consist of a pair of succulent leaves inserted on a short stem; each growing season young leaves develop in a cavity formed between the older pair. Young leaves can take up water from the older pair allowing the plant to maintain growth and leaf expansion even without external supply of water. Recycling water between vegetative organs is one of the possible adaptation strategies of plants under drought stress, but it had never been demonstrated experimentally in Lithops. The methodology used to verify the existence of water redistribution from old leaves to young leaves was fluorescence microscopy, using two dyes to follow the water pathway inside the plant: Sulforhodamine G …
Adolfo Longhitano, Il vescovo di Catania Antonio Faraone (1530-1572). Tra fama di santit e governo pastorale, Trapani, il Pozzo di Giacobbe, 2019 (D…
2022
Il volume pone questioni stimolanti, in particolare in merito alla costruzione dei modelli di santità che rispecchiano e rafforzano la coeva sensibilità religiosa, quando non ne creano di nuova. In questo contesto storiografico emerge chiaramente l’utilità euristica delle fonti agiografiche, soprattutto quando queste sono rilette e “corrette” alla luce di altre evidenze documentarie, nel caso in oggetto quelle attinenti la concreta (e spesso contrastata) azione pastorale di vescovi animati da spirito riformatore. The book focuses on stimulating issues, in particular the construction of holiness models that reflect and strengthen the contemporary religious sensibility, or maybe even do creat…
Obstruktīvo plaušu slimību simptomātisko medikamentu pārmērīgas lietošanas cēloņi Latviijā
2016
Tēmas aktualitāte. Astma un hroniska obstruktīva plaušu slimība (HOPS), rada ievērojamu saslimstību, mirstību un ekonomisko slogu. Astmas un HOPS slimniekiem, nepieciešama regulāra ārstēšana ar inhalējamiem medikamentiem, lai pārvaldītu simptomus un samazinātu risku.

Bibliotecas versus librerías de grandes superficies comerciales : usuarios y clientes
2007
En este artículo se analiza la polémica que surgió en Estados Unidos en 1998 entre la pervivencia de la biblioteca tradicional y una nueva forma de entender la información en las librerías de las grandes superficies comerciales. Después de una breve historia del origen de las grandes librerías y su posterior integración en las grandes superficies comerciales se examina como ha influido en la biblioteca esta nueva práctica empresarial. Cómo pretende convertir al usuario en cliente y obligarle a pagar por determinados servicios bibliotecarios. Por último, reflexiona de la manera que la popularización del ordenador y la irrupción de Internet han reforzado el papel de la biblioteca como centro …
Cmentarz Sapieżyński w Stanisławowie
2021
This article presents the history of one of the largest Polish cemeteries in the Eastern Borderlands. Thousands of Poles, including artists, poets, writers, sculptors, prominent politicians, local government officials and soldiers fighting for Polish independence in various uprisings, were buried in the Sapieżyński Cemetery during its 200-year-long history. The necropolis was closed down by the Soviet authorities in 1980, and the entire area was bulldozed. Crushed tombstones were transported outside the city, and a theater building and a hotel were developed on the site. The paper recreates the cemetery’s history and tells the life stories of the most prominent individuals who were laid to …

Beer produced via hydrodynamic cavitation retains higher amounts of xanthohumol and other hops prenylflavonoids
2017
Abstract Some of the most valuable bioactive compounds in beer comes from hops polyphenols, mainly flavonoids, some of which are unique to inflorescences of that flowering plant. Although far from pharmacologically relevant concentrations, low doses of xanthohumol and related prenylflavonoids found in beer contribute to the overall antioxidant activity of the product, as well as to significant chemopreventive action about certain diseases, such as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and some cancer types. Hence, the efforts to explore both ingredients and brewing methods aimed at enhancing the concentration of such bioactive compounds. In this study, a novel brewing method assisted by hydrod…
The sunset of Gortyn: amphorae in 7th –8th centuries AD
2014
Gortyn (A. Di Vita [ed.] 2000-01), some new contexts, more delimited and reliable, allow us to define better circulation, developments, and local use of amphorae in the last periods of urban life of the Cretan city. Two contexts of the mid-late 7th and late 7th-8th centuries are briefly analysed, coming from different quarters of the town (the Old Agora and the Early Byzantine houses near the “Praetorium”), and resulting from different formative processes, which could represent the circulation trends just before, and in the re-occupation phase after the earthquake that dismembered the Late Roman urban layout at the end of the 7th/early 8th century. They display a variety of imports from tra…
