Exploring the nature of the ‘subject’-preference: Evidence from the online comprehension of simple sentences in Mandarin Chinese

2009

In two visual ERP studies, we investigated whether Mandarin Chinese shows a subject-preference in spite of the controversial status of grammatical relations in this language. We compared ERP responses at the position of the verb and the second NP in object-verb-subject (OVS) and subject-verb-object (SVO) structures. While SVO is the basic word order in Chinese and OV with subject-drop is possible, OVS is strongly dispreferred. At the position of the verb, which disambiguated towards an object or a subject reading of NP1, Experiment 1 revealed an N400 for both subject-initial control conditions in comparison with the critical object-initial condition. Experiment 2 showed that this result was…

Tone perception in Mandarin-speaking school age children with otitis media with effusion.

2017

Objectives The present study explored tone perception ability in school age Mandarin-speaking children with otitis media with effusion (OME) in noisy listening environments. The study investigated the interaction effects of noise, tone type, age, and hearing status on monaural tone perception, and assessed the application of a hierarchical clustering algorithm for profiling hearing impairment in children with OME. Methods Forty-one children with normal hearing and normal middle ear status and 84 children with OME with or without hearing loss participated in this study. The children with OME were further divided into two subgroups based on their severity and pattern of hearing loss using a h…

Effetto antimicrobico della componente volatile dell’olio essenziale di mandarino.

2013

Gli oli essenziali, estratti dalle piante, sono composti lipofili contenenti una ampia varietà di elementi volatili. Vengono normalmente ottenuti per distillazione o estrazione con solventi. Trovano impiego nella preparazione di cosmetici, per aggiungere sapore ai cibi e alle bevande e per la formulazione di profumi sia personali che per l’ambiente. Gli oli essenziali hanno recentemente trovato impiego nelle biotecnologie applicate al settore agroalimentare. Sono stati, infatti, utilizzati per ottimizzare le proprietà nutrizionali degli alimenti e per prolungarne la shelf life [1,2]. Gli oli essenziali ottenuti da mandarino sono tradizionalmente usati come antidolorifici, sedativi e curativ…

Il mandarino denominato “Tardivo di Ciaculli” ha avuto origine e viene prodotto in provincia di Palermo (Sicilia) nei pressi della contrada Ciaculli. Ha un’epoca di maturazione tardiva che si concentra nei mesi da febbraio ad aprile. I frutti sono piccoli e con buccia di medio spessore [1]. In generale gli oli essenziali di mandarino sono particolarmente apprezzati per le loro proprietà chimico-fisiche costituendo un fondamentale ingrediente nell’industria cosmetica e alimentare come esaltatori di sapore in cibi e bevande. Inoltre trovano un impiego sempre maggiore nelle biotecnologie applicate al settore agroalimentare per ottimizzare le proprietà nutrizionali degli alimenti e prolungarne …

Forced Flowering in Mandarin Trees Under Phytotron Conditions

2019

[EN] Phytotron has been widely used to assess the effect of numerous parameters on the development of many species. However, less information is available on how to achieve fast profuse flowering in young fruit trees with this plant growth chamber. This study aimed to outline the design and performance of a fast clear methodology to force flowering in young mandarin trees (cv. Nova and cv. Clemenules) and to analyze the influence of induction intensity on inflorescence type. The combination of a short water stress period with simulated spring conditions (day 13 h, 22 °C, night 11 h, 12 °C) in the phytotron allowed flowers to be obtained only after 68-72 days from the time the experiment beg…

Gametic embryogenesis through isolated microspore culture in mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco), Mandarino Tardivo Di Ciaculli: effect of meta-Topol…

2016

Haploid technology, allowing the single-step development of complete homozygous genotypes from heterozygous plants through gametic embryogenesis, has already an enormous impact on breeding programs of many important crops. Microspore embryogenesis can be carried out through in vitro culture of anther or isolated microspore. Experiments have been carried out via isolated microspore culture in Citrus reticulata (Blanco), Mandarino Tardivo di Ciaculli, investigating the influence of two culture media, of two plant growth regulator types and of two temperature treatments applied before the culture or just after the culture. After ten months of culture, for all the media tested, different struct…

Citrus History, Taxonomy, Breeding, and Fruit Quality

2019

In May, every year since 1857, in the great park of Sans-Souci in Potsdam just outside Berlin—a park begun in 1745 by Emperor Frederick II of Hohenzollern and expanded a century later by Frederick William IV—the doors of the great Orangerie open in and a Renaissance-style garden called Sizilianischer Garten is set up. On horse-drawn carriages,large olive and citrus trees are brought outdoors, and are then raised in masters. For the young European who, in the second half of the 18th century and in the first decades of the following, traveled to Italy to see and study Renaissance culture and the remains of Greek civilization, the citrus species and fruits and groves of southern Italy became t…
