Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil of Bupleurum Fontanesii (Apiaceae) Growing Wild in Sicily and its Activity on Microorganisms Affecting Hist…
2016
Hydrodistillation of the flowers (BpFl) of and fruits (BpFr) of Bupleurum fontanesii Guss. ex Caruel gave two oils that were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The main components were α-elemol (16.7%), caryophyllene oxide (16.4%) and heptacosane (15.9%) in BpFl, and spathulenol (16.8%), caryophylladienol I (13.2%) and α-elemol (12.8%) in BpFr. A good antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms, including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger, all infesting historical art craft, was also determined.
Chemical composition and biological activity of the essential oil of Ballota hispanica (L.) Benth. growing wild in Sicily
2015
Ballota L. comprises several relevant species largely used for their excellent therapeutic properties. Ballota hispanica (L.) Benth. is widely used in herbal medicine, and it is sold in herbalist shops for its sedative and antispasmodic properties. Considering its traditional medicinal use and the lack of scientific studies on the volatile components of this species as well as on its biological activities, in this study the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of B. hispanica, collected in Sicily, was evaluated by gas chromatography and gas chromatographyâmass spectrometry. α-Elemol was the most abundant component of the oil (10.9%), followed by α-ylangene (8.5%),…

Contribution to the modeling of microstructural corrosion on aluminium alloys : definition of a methodology to study the bimetallic corrosion phenome…
2008
The initiation and the propagation of aluminum alloys microstructural corrosion is mainly based on the bimetallic corrosion phenomenon. This type of corrosion is caused by galvanic coupling at a local scale between the different phases contained in the alloy. The description of the localized corrosion phenomenon has been largely studied. Their complexity can explain why they are so difficult to predict by the way of numerical tools and why the works that have been done on this subject are so scarce. The present thesis brings a new contribution to this field by suggesting a methodology based on the complementary use of local electrochemical techniques and the finite element simulation of bim…
Etude en champ proche et champ lointain de surfaces métalliques : apport des microscopies à sonde locale à l'étude des étalons de masse
2005
Among the international system of units (SI) the kilogram is the only one which is still defined by a material artefact, the international prototype of the platinum iridium kilogram. The instability of mass standards is one of the major concerns of national metrology institutes and the subject of numerous studies. Interest in microscopic studies of surface quality of a mass has grown, as it is well known that surface roughness is a factor in determining the long-term stability of mass standards. This thesis is devoted to the study in near field and far field for determining the topography and roughness of metallic surfaces, in related with different institute, national and international met…

Rubefacientu (mentola un niacīna) izraisīto mikrocirkulācijas reakciju novērtējums ādas dažādos dziļumos
2017
Ādai ir lokāla neiro-imuno-endokrīnā sistēma, kas lielā mērā atspoguļo organisma norises, kalpojot par sava veida „veselības indikatoru”. Īpaši pievilcīga un relatīvi pieejama ir ādas mikrocirkulācijas funkciju novērtēšana, ko var neinvazīvi veikt ar optiskām metodēm. Parasti praksē šādu reakciju novērtēšanai tiek lietoti standartizēti provokācijas testi, kā, piemēram, lokālas sildīšanas tests, vai acetilholīna jontoforēze. Taču bieži vien ādas sarežģītā mikrocirkulācija un liela regulācijas mehānismu daudzveidība apgrūtina rezultātu viennozīmīgu interpretāciju. Šajā kontekstā daudzsološa šķiet bispektrālā attēlveides fotopletizmogrāfija - optiska metode ar kuras palīdzību, izmantojot atšķi…
αβ defensin antimicrobial peptide (BPDEF) from the invasive red sea mussel Brachidontes pharaonis (P. Fischer, 1870)
2015
The immune system that plays a major role in determining host fitness in the wild, i.e. under the constraints imposed by ecology and life history. Permanent conflict interactions with the environment are the natural situation for a living creature. To partially resolve this, the immune system evolved and is characterized by an enormous variety of mechanisms and effectors, including the AMPs, although their specificity is poor. In fact, AMPs are universal and extremely successful in dealing with a huge range of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses Amps are oligopeptides composed of varying number of amino acids with a broad spectrum of targeted organisms ranging from vi…
Photoluminescence properties of S2 molecule trapped in Melanophlogite
2015
We studied the photoluminescence properties of a sample of SiO2-clathrate Melanophlogite, a crystalline microporous material which is found in nature as a rare mineral. Upon β irradiation, the material displays an intense light emission under near-UV illumination. We studied in detail this optical activity by steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements as a function of temperature. The spectroscopic properties we find can be ascribed to a population of quasi-free molecules trapped within each of the two different types of cage available in the structure of this clathrate, although the spectroscopic properties of the guest molecules are affected by their interactions with t…
