Chemical composition of the essential oils of Centaurea tomentella Hand.-Mazz. and C. haussknechtii Boiss. (Asteraceae) collected wild in Turkey and …
2018
In the present study the chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts of Centaurea tomentella Hand.-Mazz. and C. haussknechtii Boiss. collected in Turkey was evaluated by GC and GC-MS. The main components of C. tomentella L. were hexadecanoic acid (19.7%), caryophyllene oxide (6.6%) and spathulenol (4.8%) whereas C. haussknechtii was rich in hexadecanoic acid (26.2%), (Z,Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid (19.3%), heptacosane (5.3%) and nonacosane (5.1%). Antibacterial and antifungal activities against some microorganisms infesting historical art craft, were also determined.
A Posteriori Methods
1998
A posteriori methods could also be called methods for generating Pareto optimal solutions. After the Pareto optimal set (or a part of it) has been generated, it is presented to the decision maker, who selects the most preferred among the alternatives. The inconveniences here are that the generation process is usually computationally expensive and sometimes in part, at least, difficult. On the other hand, it is hard for the decision maker to select from a large set of alternatives. One more important question is how to present or display the alternatives to the decision maker in an effective way. The working order in these methods is: 1) analyst, 2) decision maker.
Building Composite Indicators With Unweighted-TOPSIS
2023
Composite indicators have been widely used in a large number of fields, including innovation and entrepreneurship as a useful tool for conveying summary information about overall performance in a relatively simple way. The construction of composite indicators implies several stages concerning collection of data, selection of criteria and individual indicators, normalization and weighting of criteria and indicators, aggregation, and comparison of overall performance of the alternatives or options. This article aims at contributing to the construction of synthetic indicators by showing with a real example, how the proposed methodology can overcome the problem of the establisment of the decisi…
Tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta (Meyrick,1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) The old and new challenge
2014
The term Phytosanitary exists within many of the modern and old scientific terms such as: organic farming, plant protection, integrated pest management, national and international movement of plant germplasm, biosecurity, good agricultural practices and others. There are many aspects within those related terms. All those terms have common interests of which the pests' risk be avoided and the environmental health is achieved. Consequently preventive measures, precaution measures and effective testing procedures are required. The study problem is the pest Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), the Tomato leaf miner, this pest is one of the most devastating pests affecting T…

Use of biorational insecticides for the control of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) infestations on open field tomato
2012
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), the tomato leaf miner, is one of the most devastating pests affecting tomato crops in Italy. Management of T. absoluta was assessed in open-field tests using three biorational insecticides, Azadirachtin, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, and Beauveria bassiana, and a combination of three synthetic insecticides, Emamectin, Indoxacarb and Metaflumizone, as a control treatment. Our results showed that only the combination of Azadirachtin – B. thuringiensis was able to reduce the impact of tomato leaf miner on the fruit’s marketable production similarly to the control treatment. This finding suggests that biorational insecticides are a goo…
L'incremento della sostenibilità ambientale attraverso una corretta gestione dell'irrigazione.
2014
Lo scopo di questo lavoro è quello di mettere a punto, a partire dalle informazioni territoriali quali caratteristichemeteorologiche e pedologiche, uno studio capace di valutare la sostenibilità della gestione irrigua in tre ipotetiche parcelle sperimentali individuate nel territorio del sottobacino Iudeo-Bucari (TP). Sitratta di tre vigneti che rappresentano per caratteristiche morfologiche e gestionali l'intero sottobacino, ovvero una delle aree maggiormente vitate della Sicilia. Il fine è valutare la sostenibilità della gestione irrigua in termini di risparmio energetico, attraverso l'applicazione del modello di bilancio idrico FAO 56. Questo tipo di studio pone le basi per la redazione …
Luminarie d'autore
2009
L'articolo analizza l'esperienza di Kals'art a Palermo; una manifestazione che si è proposta come innovativo progetto di cultura, comunicazione e marketing territoriale. In particolare le "luminarie d'autore" hanno introdotto nella fruizione del centro storico nuove epressioni visive con un esplicito riferimento al design. Il testo è stato elaborato all'interno della ricerca cofinanziata MIUR 2005/2006 dal titolo 'd.Cult. Il design per la valorizzazione dei beni culturali' SDI/Sistema Design Italia.
THE LIGHT IN MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR COMMUNICATING THE MEANING OF ANCIENT REMAINS
2011
In this paper, based on research made by the Authors in the Mediterranean area, is highlighted how the use of light in museums can effectively contribute to a better knowledge of the past, giving citizens the opportunity to rediscover their identity and tourists to understand local history and archaeology. The research investigates about the aspects of lighting for archaeological sites or part of them. The charm of an archaeological site or a monument comes from the perception of its whole environmental context, both for functional lighting and artistic valorization. The emphasis is on what should be the most effective lighting system for the monumental sites, one respecting the ruins and t…
