Scultura ellenistica e paesaggio urbano: i casi di Tindari e Solunto

2019

The archaeological evidence provides us with significant clues about the role of the sculptural display in the urban space during the Hellenistic period. The paper focuses on two study cases from Tindari and Solunto respectively. Thanks to the investigation of overlooked archival documents and historiography, it has been possible to single out the monumental contexts of the sculptures. It is now quite certain that the two marble Nikai from Tyndaris come from the mid-19th century excavation at the theatre, perhaps from the paraskenia of the huge late Hellenistic scene building. The second part deals with the so-called Zeus of Solunto, its extant pieces and the puzzling remains of the sacred …

Gamma-delta T-cell lymphomas.

2009

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are uncommon neoplasms, accounting for about 12% of all lymphoid tumors worldwide. TCLs in which gammadelta T-cell receptors are expressed (gammadelta TCLs) are extremely aggressive and rare (<1% of lymphoid neoplasms). gammadelta TCLs originate from gammadelta T cells, a small subset of peripheral T cells with direct antigen recognition capability acting at the interface between innate and adaptive immunity. Two distinct gammadelta TCL entities are recognized: hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTL) and primary cutaneous gammadelta T-cell lymphoma (PCGD-TCL). HSTL is a well-characterized extranodal lymphoma that has a disguised onset, secondary to intrasinus…

Effect of the milling conditions on the degree of amorphization of selenium by milling in a planetary ball mill

2007

The effect of the milling parameters (rotation speed of the milling device and duration of milling) on the phase composition of the products of milling of fully crystalline selenium has been investigated. The milling was conducted using a planetary micromill and the phase composition of the milling products was determined by differential thermal analysis. It has been found that ball milling leads to the partial amorphization of the starting crystalline material. The content of amorphous phase in the milling products depends, in a rather complicated way, on the milling parameters. At the milling parameters adopted in the present study, the milling product was never fully amorphous. The compl…

Microstratigraphy of the Magdalenian sequence at Cendres Cave (Teulada-Moraira, Alicante, Spain): Formation and diagenesis

2013

Abstract This microstratigraphic study of the Magdalenian sequence in the Cendres Cave (Teulada-Moraira, Alicante, Spain) shows the detailed evolutionary history of the deposit, revealing a wide variety of pedosedimentary (formation and diagenesis), biogenic and anthropic processes. The sequence begins with Cendres XII, culturally attributed to the Early and Middle Magdalenian, with high probability (95%) dating placing it between 19,270 and 16,530 cal BP with some chronological hiatus. It was formed from biogenic sedimentation associated with bat guano mainly of an insectivorous type, and from anthropic sedimentation related to occupation floors made up of highly complex plant beds with tr…

Polyethylenimine is a strong inhibitor of human papillomavirus and cytomegalovirus infection.

2012

ABSTRACT Polyethylenimines are cationic polymers with potential as delivery vectors in gene therapy and with proven antimicrobial activity. However, the antiviral activity of polyethylenimines has not been addressed in detail thus far. We have studied the inhibitory effects of a linear 25-kDa polyethylenimine on infections with human papillomaviruses and human cytomegaloviruses. Preincubation of cells with polyethylenimine blocked primary attachment of both viruses to cells, resulting in a significant reduction of infection. In addition, the dissemination of human cytomegalovirus in culture cells was efficiently reduced by recurrent administration of polyethylenimine. Polyethylenimine conce…

Espungere e interpretare: a proposito dell’esodo di Ifigenia in Aulide

2014

L’articolo mostra che l’espunzione dell’esodo di Ifigenia in Aulide, su cui concordano quasi tutti gli editori, può comportare conseguenze decisive sul piano dell’interpretazione della tragedia. Infatti, in alcuni studi recenti, basati sull’edizione Kovacs (Loeb Classical Library, London 2002), che espunge la parte finale relativa al racconto del messaggero con la sostituzione animale, la morte di Ifigenia viene considerata la vera conclusione della tragedia. Da qui è derivata un’interpretazione in chiave politica del sacrificio, secondo la quale, conclusasi negativamente la guerra con Sparta e in assenza di una valida classe dirigente, la morte di un’innocente sarebbe necessaria alla reali…

Metafora i piękno w "Iliadzie" Homera

2017

Iliada Homera jest wielowarstwową opowieścią o heroicznej przeszłości achajskiej arystokracji. Choć skażeni winą, ate, choć zaangażowani w niesprawiedliwą, łupieżczą wojnę, bohaterowie achajskiej historii dosięgają wzoru cnoty, arete – męstwa połączonego z mądrością. Wina zarówno Achajów – Achillesa i Agamemnona, jak i Trojan – Parysa i Hektora, przesłania oraz odbiera im część chwały, jaka winna wypływać z mądrego męstwa połączonego z szacunkiem dla zwyciężonych. Wina zrodzona z pokusy, której nie mogą się oprzeć jako śmiertelni, paradoksalnie obarcza ich odpowiedzialnością za zło, nad którym nie panują. Jednak spadająca na nich kara staje się ekspiacją i aktem odzyskania heroicznej cnoty.…

Over 30% of patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma express the same immunoglobulin heavy variable gene: ontogenetic implications.

2012

We performed an immunogenetic analysis of 345 IGHV-IGHD-IGHJ rearrangements from 337 cases with primary splenic small B-cell lymphomas of marginal-zone origin. Three immunoglobulin (IG) heavy variable (IGHV) genes accounted for 45.8% of the cases (IGHV1-2, 24.9%; IGHV4-34, 12.8%; IGHV3-23, 8.1%). Particularly for the IGHV1-2 gene, strong biases were evident regarding utilization of different alleles, with 79/86 rearrangements (92%) using allele *04. Among cases more stringently classified as splenic marginal-zone lymphoma (SMZL) thanks to the availability of splenic histopathological specimens, the frequency of IGHV1-2*04 peaked at 31%. The IGHV1-2*04 rearrangements carried significantly lo…
