Volatile constituents of the aerial parts of white salsify (Tragopogon porrifolius L., Asteraceae).
2010
Tragopogon porrifolius L. grows as a vegetable in southern Italy and all parts of it are edible. In the present study the volatile components of the aerial part are described. Gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed the presence of 38 components in all. On the whole, the volatile fraction was constituted mainly by carbonylic compounds (24.6%), phenols (21.5%) and fatty acids and esters (19.7%). The most abundant compounds were 4-vinyl guaiacol (19.0%), hexadecanoic acid (17.9%), hexahydrofarnesylacetone (15.8%) and hentriacontane (10.7%).
GC and GC–MS analysis of the essential oil of Nepeta cilicica Boiss. ex Benth. from Lebanon
2013
The hydrodistillation of the aerial parts of Nepeta cilicica Boiss. ex Benth., collected in Lebanon in the Horsh Ehden reserve, yielded 0.13% (w/w) of essential oil. Gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectroscopy analysis enabled the identification of 75 compounds representing 96.8% of the total oil. The most abundant compounds were spathulenol (15.1%), hexadecanoic acid (14%), δ-cadinene (5.5%) and α-copaene (4.5%). On the whole, the oil was constituted mainly by sesquiterpenes (45.9%), among which sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (27.6%) slightly prevailed over oxygenated sesquiterpenes (18.3%).
Follow up: palmitic acid ester of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and palmitic acid diester of 11-hydroxy-THC – unsuccessful search for additional THC met…
2020
Abstract Objectives In a previous investigation we searched for the occurrence of palmitic acid ester compounds of delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and its primary metabolite 11-hydroxy-delta9-THC (11-OH-THC) in human body fluids and tissues (THC palmitic acid monoester [THC-Pal] and 11-OH-THC palmitic acid diester [11-OH-THC-DiPal]). As those esters could not be detected in various human body fluids (e.g. blood) or tissues (e.g. adipose tissue) we extended the investigation analyzing adipose tissue samples of mice previously given synthetic THC or a cannabis extract. Methods In total, 48 adipose tissue samples previously tested positive for THC by means of a liquid chromatographic triple …
Determination of macrolide and lincosamide antibiotics by pressurised liquid extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in meat an…
2010
Abstract A total of 155 samples, including meat and milk, were analyzed using a method developed for determining five macrolide antibiotics: tilmicosin (TILM), tylosin (TS), spiramycin (SPM), erythromycin (ERY), and tulathromycin (TULA) and two lincosamide antibiotics: pirlimycin (PIRL) and lincomycin (LM). The method was performed by pressurised liquid extraction (PLE) coupled to LC–MS/MS using electrospray ionization in positive ion mode. 2.5 mL of milk or 2.5 g of meat were dispersed in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid sodium salt 2-hydrate (EDTA) and sea sand. The PLE conditions as: solvent, temperature, pressure, static time, and cell size were optimized. The following analytical parame…
Identification of lipid binders in paintings by gas chromatography
2001
Abstract The influence of the presence and the type of pigments in the lipid binding media of paintings were studied by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. The drying oils were linseed stand oil, poppy oil and sunflower oil, and the pigments studied were cadmium red, cobalt blue, tin white, lead white, chalk and plaster of Paris, commonly used in paintings. The results indicate that the stearic/palmitic ratio and the presence of pigments are quite stable during ageing. However, some differences in the oleic acid/palmitic acid ratio were found, depending on the type of pigment present in the lipid binding media. These variations are related to the drying effect of the pigments…
Host specificity ofOschmarinella rochebruniandBrachycladium atlanticum(Digenea: Brachycladiidae) in five cetacean species from western Mediterranean …
2010
AbstractWe investigated patterns of specificity of liver flukes (fam. Brachycladiidae) in a community of cetaceans from the western Mediterranean. The liver and pancreas of 103 striped dolphins,Stenella coeruleoalba, 18 Risso's dolphins,Grampus griseus, 14 bottlenose dolphins,Tursiops truncatus, 8 common dolphins,Delphinus delphis, and 5 long-finned pilot whales,Globicephala melas, were analysed for brachycladiid species. Two species were found:Oschmarinella rochebruniin striped dolphins (prevalence (P): 61.2%; mean intensity (MI) (95% CI): 34.2 (25.7–45.6)), andBrachycladium atlanticumin striped dolphins (P: 39.8%; MI: 7.1 (4.8–13.1)) and a single individual of common dolphin (P: 12.5%; in…
Multi-modality of polysomnography signals’ fusion for automatic sleep scoring
2019
Abstract Objective The study aims to develop an automatic sleep scoring method by fusing different polysomnography (PSG) signals and further to investigate PSG signals’ contribution to the scoring result. Methods Eight combinations of four modalities of PSG signals, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), and electrocardiogram (ECG) were considered to find the optimal fusion of PSG signals. A total of 232 features, covering statistical characters, frequency characters, time-frequency characters, fractal characters, entropy characters and nonlinear characters, were derived from these PSG signals. To select the optimal features for each signal fusion, …
Aplicación del binomio Apodemus sylvaticus /helminto como bioindicador de la regeneración del Parc Natural de la Serra Calderona (Comunitat Valencian…
2015
El estudio del binomio Apodemus sylvaticus/helminto ha sido propuesto como un bioindicador del proceso de regeneración postincendio en ecosistemas mediterráneos. El presente trabajo, enmarcado en un proyecto multidisciplinar que lleva por título “Procesos de Recuperación de Ecosistemas Perturbados por el Fuego a través del modelo Helmintos/Micromamíferos” y que fue iniciado por el grupo Parasites & Fire, del Departamento de Parasitología de la Universidad de Farmacia de la Universidad de Valencia, ofrece nuevos resultados que avalan su validación en el Parc Natural de la Serra Calderona (Comunitat Valenciana, España), la cual sufrió un devastador incendio forestal en 1992. Durante 21 años (…
Cuerpo de mujeres, castigo y resistencias: el caso del G8 de Génova y su representación fílmica.
2014
mi trabajo analiza cómo en un conjunto de películas italianas se trata el tema del G8 de Génova del año 2001(donde hubo una gran manifestación en la que las fuerzas de orden italianas ejercieron una brutal violencia hacía los cuerpos de las/los manifestantes llegando a matar uno de ellos, Carlo Giuliani) y cómo estas películas representan los cuerpos de las mujeres y de los varones que estuvieron presentes o tuvieron algún papel en las manifestaciones de esos días, intentando detectar si hay formas diferentes de representación de los sujetos según el género de pertenencia. Las películas Diaz, Black Block, Bella Ciao y Carlo Giuliani Ragazzo constituyen el corpus textual analizado.
Elderly woman in films. An evaluation to the filmic projects
2016
La presencia de las mujeres en el cine tanto delante como detrás de la cámara es escasa; y esto ocurre más todavía en el caso de las mujeres mayores. Con una mirada de género desde la Gerontología hemos realizado una selección y posterior evaluación de las películas estrenadas entre 1960 y 2015 en las que el protagonismo o co-protagonismo fuese de una mujer mayor de 55 años, obteniendo un total de 63 películas. Con la información obtenida al utilizar una hoja de registro y análisis, se realizó un análisis de contenido que dio lugar a diferentes categorías temáticas y subcategorías. Los resultados muestran que son muy escasas las películas cuya trama argumental gira en torno a mujeres mayore…
