Non-Invasive Investigation of Pigments of Wall Painting in S. Maria Delle Palate di Tusa (Messina, Italy)
2019
The characterization of materials used in the archaeological field needs an experimental approach in order to avoid the destruction or perturbation of artworks. In order to afford this purpose, a multi-analytical spectroscopic approach is regularly used. We combined non-invasive analysis by using handheld spectroscopic instrumentations (mainly XRF and Raman spectrometers) in order to characterize the wall painting preserved in the church of S. Maria delle Palate at Halaesa Arconidea archeological site (Tusa, Messina, Italy). The aim of the work is the characterization of the nature of pigments used for the realization of the wall painting. The wall painting, probably representing St. Franci…
Le intese restrittive della concorrenza nell'attività dell'AGCM (anno 2012)
2013
La rassegna analizza sinteticamente le decisioni in materia di intese restrittive della concorrenza, adottate, nel corso del 2012, dall’Autorità garante della concorrenza e del mercato (qui di seguito « Agcm »). In quest’arco temporale, non si ravvisa alcuna significativa inversione di tendenza nella prassi dell’Agcm; in particolar modo, per quel che concerne le nozioni di « pregiudizio al commercio tra gli Stati membri », « mercato rilevante », « impresa » e « intesa », ai sensi dell’art. 2 della l. n. 287/1990 e dell’art. 101 del Tfue. Si segnala, inoltre, il fatto che, in ottemperanza ad alcune decisioni del tribunale amministrativo, in più occasioni l’Agcm ha dovuto rideterminare le san…
LE INTESE RESTRITTIVE DELLA CONCORRENZA NELL’ATTIVITÀ DELL’AGCM (ANNO 2014)
2015
L’esame dei provvedimenti assunti in materia di intese restrittive della concorrenza dall’Autorità garante della concorrenza e del mercato (qui di seguito « Agcm ») nel corso del 2014 mostra un significativo incremento numerico rispetto agli anni immediatamente precedenti. Parallelamente, è da ravvisare un’iniziale inversione di tendenza nell’aumen- to dei procedimenti conclusisi con l’accettazione degli impegni e con la pronuncia di non violazione per mancanza di sufficienti indizi probatori circa la sussistenza dell’intesa illecita. L’Agcm, infine, ha confermato la propria attenzione nei confronti del settore farmaceutico, delle libere professioni e dei contratti di distribuzione (special…
The neolithic settlement of Limoneros (Elche, Alicante)
2020
[EN] This paper shows the results of rescue archaeology campaigns undertaken on the site of Limoneros, an open-air settlement located to the south of Elche (Alicante), in the alluvial plain of the Vinalopó river and dated on the first half of the 5th millennium cal BC. The settlement entails different negative structures, including two stretches of ditch, silos and basins, structures finally reused as a waste area. The analysis of the recovered evidences allows the characterization of the activities developed by a farming community in a territory articulated by the river Vinalopó, where other settlements dated back to the same period have been documented. Therefore, Limoneros supplies relev…

Geochemical discrimination of basaltic sources as a tool for provenance analyses of bifacial tools in the southern Levant: first results from the Jez…
2013
Abstract The determination of groundstone tool sources bears the potential to examine aspects like raw material selection and preference, mobility, trade and exchange patterns, control over resources and long term use of raw material sources. The discovery of the Neolithic/Chalcolithic basanite bifacial quarry of Giv'at Kipod in the Jezreel Valley, Israel, provides the opportunity of raw material centred provenance studies of bifacials in the southern Levant. The basis for reliable provenance analyses is a clear geochemical characterization of the extraction site and its discrimination from other potential sources. To achieve this, the Miocene magmatic rocks of the Jezreel Valley were sampl…
¿Marxismo o diferenciación social?
2018
Para la sociología, el debate con el marxismo forma uno de los telones de fondo intelectuales y prácticos en el surgimiento de esta joven ciencia durante el siglo xix. Uno de los puntos más interesantes de esta disputa trata del grado necesario de diferenciación de las categorías analíticas para comprender los mecanismos básicos de la sociedad. La capacidad y la necesidad de reducir la compl ejidad que requiere cada ciencia, si quiere ll egar a un nivel de generalización que permita la acción social, se contrapone a una diferenciación analítica que tenga en cuenta la máxima cantidad posibl e de elementos relevantes para la comprensión de lo social. El presente artículo alumbra las relacione…
Possible impacts of volcanic ash emissions of Mount Etna on the primary productivity in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea: Results from nutrient-rel…
2013
Atmospheric deposition of volcanic ash has recently been recognized as an important nutrient source into the surface ocean. Mount Etna (Italy), one of the world's most active volcanoes, is located in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea (MedSea). Despite the active volcanism on Mount Etna, the biogeochemical impacts of volcanic ash fallouts on the marine primary productivity (MPP) remain largely unknown. Here we present the results of seawater nutrient release experiments with volcanic ash samples from Mount Etna that have been collected during different eruptive episodes between 2001 and 2007. Our results show that volcanic ash from Mount Etna releases significant amounts of fixed-N (35-855 …
The morphological diversity within a species can obscure the correct identification
2022
Critical points of various diagnostic characters and a paucity of information relating to the geographical distribution of several marine species can hinder real species delimitation, particularly if they are supposed to be cosmopolitan. Such constraints characterize many amphipod species and are mainly due to the variation in morphological characters during growth. Specifically, the benthic filter-feeding corophiid Cheiriphotis mediterranea Myers, 1983 displays different shapes for the male gnathopod 2 as it grows. This variation has hitherto never been described but an extensive sampling has provided us with the opportunity of studying it in detail. More than six thousand individuals, bel…
