Major and trace elements in Boletus aereus and Clitopilus prunulus growing on volcanic and sedimentary soils of Sicily (Italy)

2017

The aim of this study was to determine and compare the content of 28 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sb, Se, Sr, Tl, U, V and Zn) in fruiting bodies of Boletus aereus Bull. and Clitopilus prunulus P. Kumm collected from eleven unpolluted sites of Sicily (Italy) and, also to relate the abundance of chemical elements in soil with their concentration in mushrooms. Median concentrations of the most abundant elements in Boletus aereus ranged from 31,290 μg/g (K) to 107 μg/g (Zn) in caps and from 24,009 μg/g (K) to 57 μg/g (Zn) in stalks with the following abundance order: K > Na > Ca > Mg > Fe > Al > Rb > Zn. The s…

La configuración formal de las palabras idiomáticas originadas por acortamiento en locuciones en español: los casos de amén, estampía, mor y ton

2022

En el presente artículo pretendemos analizar la configuración formal con la que han quedado fijadas cuatro palabras idiomáticas (amén, estampía, mor y ton) que se han formado mediante aféresis, síncopa y apócope, es decir, procesos de acortamiento o eliminación de un fragmento respecto a una base originaria. Nos centraremos en fenómenos habituales que presentan este tipo de voces así formadas, como la estructura silábica, la acentuación paroxítona o la dislocación acentual respecto a sus bases. Reservamos para estudios futuros un análisis fraseológico centrado en los sintagmas y funciones de las cinco locuciones que estas conforman. The aim of this paper is to analyze the morphology of four…

Phraseologie in der postmodernen Gesellschaft : Eine Beschreibung der gesellschaftlichen Milieus anhand von Phrasemen aus Medientexten

2015

Saksalainen yhteiskunta, aivan kuin muutkin länsimaiset yhteiskunnat, on sosiaalirakenteeltaan jakaantunut useampaan ryhmään kuin aikaisemmin, esim. verrattuna agraariyhteiskunnan aikaan. Sosiaalirakenne on heterogeenisempi kuin ennen. Yhteiskunnat koostuvat kuitenkin myös ihmisryhmistä, joita yhdistävät asiat kuten: mm. tulot, ikä ja vapaa-ajanintressit. Erityisesti vapaa-ajan lisääntyminen selittää heterogenisoitumista - ihmiset voivat toteuttaa itseään useammalla tavalla. Erilaiset sosiaaliset ryhmät käyttävät myös kieltä eri tavoin. Tämän takia kiinnostuin siihen, miten fraseologia liittyy näiden ryhmien tyypillisiin piirteisiin. Niin kuin sosiaalirakenne, on myös fraseologia kokenut mu…

The stream-dwelling larva of the Ruwenzori River Frog, Amietia ruwenzorica, its buccal cavity and pathology of chytridiomycosis

2012

Tadpoles of Amietia ruwenzorica (Pyxicephalidae, Cacosterninae) were collected in the Ruwenzori Mountains, Uganda(identified by DNA barcoding). The ventrally directed enlarged oral disc with a high number of labial tooth rows (LTRF9(4)/9(1)) and the narrow tail with robust caudal musculature characterise them as stream-dwellers. We name this mor-photype the 'common or standard type of stream-adaptation', because special additional adhesive organs are missing in A.ruwenzorica. The uniserially arranged oral teeth of the spoon-shaped type with 16 to 18 cusps per tooth are known fromother anuran larvae, especially from pyxicephalids. The buccal morphology resembles generalized tadpoles with som…

Idiomatic expressions and anaphoric reference in functional discourse grammar

2018

Aquest treball se centra en un tipus especial de relació anafòrica que consisteix en la referència efectuada mitjançant una part, o a una part, d?una expressió idiomàtica. S?hi posa de manifest que, contràriament al que se suposa generalment, aquestes referències no estan necessàriament marcades estilísticament o gramaticalment, sinó que responen a diversos patrons productius. A partir de dades de corpus i dins del marc de la gramàtica funcional discursiva es presenta una anàlisi amb base teòrica de cadascun d?aquests patrons. L?anàlisi en reflecteix els processos de producció i interpretació, en dona compte de la sistematicitat i productivitat i presenta una proposta explicativa del cost c…

NOVCOJUSĪ LEKSIKA J. LANGIJA VĀRDNĪCĀ (1685): NAUDAS VIENĪBU NOSAUKUMI

2021

The Latvian language dictionary of J. Langius (1685) does not contain a large number of terms denoting monetary units – altogether there are 11 of them (ārtaugs, dālderis, diķis, eiduks, grosis, kauss, mārka, skatiks, sķiliņģis, vērdiņģis, zelta gabals), as well as some other money-related lexemes (e.g., sīknauda, vara nauda etc.) which are not designations of monetary units and therefore are not analyzed in this article. These lexemes are included in most 17–19th century dictionaries, and sometimes are borrowed from one dictionary into another. For instance, J. Langius has taken over the words included in the dictionary of G. Mancelius, but later J. Lange, in his turn, refers to J. Langius…

Comprehension of metaphors and idioms in patients with Alzheimer's disease - A longitudinal study

2001

Language in patients with Alzheimer's disease has been extensively studied, with the exception of non-literal language comprehension. However, in our speech, we often make use of expressions, which are not necessarily interpreted on a literal ground. Comprehension of metaphors and idioms was examined in 39 patients with probable early Alzheimer's disease. The results showed that the decline of figurative language is not an early symptom of dementia and can occur independently from the impairment of propositional language. It was also found that metaphors and idioms differ as far as the predominant kind of error is concerned.

Fungal polysaccharopeptide inhibits tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth in mice

2003

Angiogenesis is crucial to tumor growth and metastasis, and interruption of this process is a prime avenue for therapeutic intervention of tumor proliferation. The present study has made use of the S180 tumor-bearing mouse model to investigate the polysaccharopeptide, PSP, isolated from the edible mushroom Coriolus versicolor, a herbal medicine known for its anti-angiogenesis properties. Quantitative analysis of microcorrosion casting of the tumor tissue showed more angiogenic features such as dense sinusoids and hot spots, in control (untreated) than in PSP-treated animals. Immunostaining of tumor tissues with antibody against the endothelial cell marker (Factor VIII) demonstrated a positi…

Captivity and infection by the fungal pathogen batrachochytrium salamandrivorans perturb the amphibian skin microbiome

2019

The emerging fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is responsible for the catastrophic decline of European salamanders and poses a threat to amphibians globally. The amphibian skin microbiome can influence disease outcome for several host-pathogen systems, yet little is known of its role in Bsal infection. In addition, many experimental in-vivo amphibian disease studies to date have relied on specimens that have been kept in captivity for long periods without considering the influence of environment on the microbiome and how this may impact the host response to pathogen exposure. We characterized the impact of captivity and exposure to Bsal on the skin bacterial and fung…
