Il mare e la città. Cefalù e il Parco delle mura megalitiche di Pasquale Culotta, Giuseppe Leone e Tania Culotta.
2019
Il Mediterraneo è una delle fonti dell’architettura tout court ed è all’origine della storia dell’abitare del Vecchio Mondo. Al ruolo costante e di fondazione del Mare Nostrum si collega, diversi millenni dopo, quello avuto come impulso all’architettura contemporanea e, in particolare, al Movimento Moderno. Su tale imprescindibile rapporto si innesta una specifica questione relativa alle città costiere e al modo in cui queste abbiano concretamente declinato l’interazione con il mare. Se l’arco cronologico si restringe dal secondo dopoguerra ad oggi, molti di questi rapporti sono occasioni mancate, incontri distratti, dove le coste, al pari dei fondi agricoli, sono state considerate, in modo…
L'Italia sul mare
2019
Il decimo numero monografico della rivista internazionale Proyecto + Ciudad, della Universiade Politécnica de Cartagena, dedicato a "L'Italia sul mare", pone a confronto gli articoli di docenti universitari italiani, provenienti dalle Scuole di architettura di Palermo, Cagliari, Napoli, Reggio Calabria, Roma, Siracusa e Venezia. Tra i temi affrontati si segnalano: Mediterraneo: mito, paesaggi e architetture silenti; Il canto del mare, il canto dell’architettura; Il mare e la città. Cefalù e Il Parco delle mura megalitiche di Pasquale Culotta, Giuseppe Leone e Tania Culotta; La “terra di mezzo” tra Siracusa e Augusta. Dalle poleis greche alla città lineare; Le “nostre” distanze. Il difficile…
The long history of rich fens supports persistence of plant and snail habitat specialists
2021
Increasing evidence for the effects of Holocene history on modern biotic communities suggests that current explanations of community patterns and conservation strategies require revisiting. Here we focused on Central European rich fens that are at high risk among mire habitats because of their relatively low environmental stability, and hence sensitivity to successional shifts. At each of 57 study sites, inventory of specialist species of bryophytes, vascular plants and land snails, measurements of local environmental conditions, area, and radiocarbon dating were conducted. We used Moran’s I spatial autocorrelation, multiple linear regression models, MDS, db-RDA, and null models to identify…
The effects of habitat degradation on metacommunity structure of wood-inhabiting fungi in European beech forests
2013
Intensive forest management creates habitat degradation by reducing the variation of forest stands in general, and by removing old trees and dead wood in particular. Non-intervention forest reserves are commonly believed to be the most efficient tool to counteract the negative effects on biodiversity, but actual knowledge of the conservation efficiency is limited, especially for recent reserves. The structure of ecological communities is often described with measures of nestedness, beta diversity and similarity between communities. We studied whether these measures differ among forest reserves with different management histories. For this purpose, we used a large data set of wood-inhabiting…

Metagenomics of human microbiome: beyond 16s rDNA.
2012
Clin Microbiol Infect 2012; 18 (Suppl. 4): 4749 Abstract The gut microbiota presents a symbiotic relationship with the human host playing a beneficial role in human health. Since its establishment, the bacterial community is subjected to the influence of many different factors that shape its composition within each individual. However, an important convergence is observed at functional level in the gut microbiota. A metatranscriptomic study of healthy individuals showed homogeneity in the composition of the active microbiota that increased further at functional level.
Landscape Architecture Design as a Resource in the Regeneration of Sicilian Mining Landscapes
2016
This contribution regards mining landscape in Sicily and its physical dimension. It has been shaped by the stratification of different layers such as topography, geology, vegetation, roads, functions, existing buildings and structures, underground spaces. The purpose of the paper is to understand their relations and their shapes, through a specific case study. We are dealing with a large mining park in the middle of Sicily, characterized by the layering of the various elements previously described.
Asymmetric allelic introgression across a hybrid zone of the coal tit (Periparus ater) in the central Himalayas*
2021
Abstract In the Himalayas, a number of secondary contact zones have been described for vicariant vertebrate taxa. However, analyses of genetic divergence and admixture are missing for most of these examples. In this study, we provide a population genetic analysis for the coal tit (Periparus ater) hybrid zone in Nepal. Intermediate phenotypes between the distinctive western “spot‐winged tit” (P. a. melanolophus) and Eastern Himalayan coal tits (P. a. aemodius) occur across a narrow range of <100 km in western Nepal. As a peculiarity, another distinctive cinnamon‐bellied form is known from a single population so far. Genetic admixture of western and eastern mitochondrial lineages was restrict…
Geosemiotic study of mobility as a communicated item and the use of English in emplaced signs
2013
Globalisoituva maailma nivoutuu monimutkaisella tavalla useiksi sosiaalisiksi tiloiksi ja tässä prosessissa liikkuvuuden kasvulla ja levittäytymisellä on merkittävä osa. Historiallisesti periferiset alueet liittyvät osaksi globaalia maailmaa lentokenttien, rautateiden ja tieverkkojen tuodessa mukanaan ihmisvirtoja, jotka aikaansaavat kulttuurisia ja kielellisiä muutoksia. Keskellä näitä muutoksia ovat sekä liikkuvuutta varten rakennetut ympäristöt, eli mobiilit tilat, että nykyajan globaali kieli, englanti. Tätä taustaa vasten asettuvan tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kartoittaa mobiileja tiloja kommunikatiivisina ympäristöinä tutkimalla näihin tiloihin sijoitettuja tekstejä sekä niiden välity…
On the polymer physics origins of protein folding thermodynamics
2016
A remarkable feature of the spontaneous folding of many small proteins is the striking similarity in the thermodynamics of the folding process. This process is characterized by simple two-state thermodynamics with large and compensating changes in entropy and enthalpy and a funnel-like free energy landscape with a free-energy barrier that varies linearly with temperature. One might attribute the commonality of this two-state folding behavior to features particular to these proteins (e.g., chain length, hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance, attributes of the native state) or one might suspect that this similarity in behavior has a more general polymer-physics origin. Here we show that this behavi…
