Historical and Technical Notes on Aqueducts from Prehistoric to Medieval Times

2013

The aim of this paper is to present the evolution of aqueduct technologies through the millennia, from prehistoric to medieval times. These hydraulic works were used by several civilizations to collect water from springs and to transport it to settlements, sanctuaries and other targets. Several civilizations, in China and the Americas, developed water transport systems independently, and brought these to high levels of sophistication. For the Mediterranean civilizations, one of the salient characteristics of cultural development, since the Minoan Era (ca. 3200-1100 BC), is the architectural and hydraulic function of aqueducts used for the water supply in palaces and other settlements. The M…

The genomic history of the Aegean palatial civilizations

2021

Summary The Cycladic, the Minoan, and the Helladic (Mycenaean) cultures define the Bronze Age (BA) of Greece. Urbanism, complex social structures, craft and agricultural specialization, and the earliest forms of writing characterize this iconic period. We sequenced six Early to Middle BA whole genomes, along with 11 mitochondrial genomes, sampled from the three BA cultures of the Aegean Sea. The Early BA (EBA) genomes are homogeneous and derive most of their ancestry from Neolithic Aegeans, contrary to earlier hypotheses that the Neolithic-EBA cultural transition was due to massive population turnover. EBA Aegeans were shaped by relatively small-scale migration from East of the Aegean, as e…

Ligand-binding assays with OBPs and CSPs

2020

Assessing the ligand-binding properties of OBPs and CSPs is essential for understanding their physiological function. It also provides basic information when these proteins are used as biosensing elements for instrumental measurement of odors. Although different approaches have been applied in the past to evaluate the affinity of receptors and soluble binding proteins to their ligands, using a fluorescent reporter represents the method of choice for OBPs and CSPs. It offers the advantages of working at the equilibrium, being simple, fast and inexpensive, without requiring the use of radioactive tracers. However, as an indirect method, the fluorescence competitive binding approach presents d…

EPR, ENDOR and TRIPLE resonance of amino-substituted 9,10-anthraquinone radicals and the rotation of the amino groups in the solution phase

1996

EPR, ENDOR and TRIPLE resonance spectra were recorded for 1-amino-9,10-anthraquinone (1-aminoAQ), 2-aminoAQ, 1,2-diaminoAQ, 1.4-diaminoAQ, 1,5-diaminoAQ and 2,6-diaminoAQ anion radicals in the solution phase. The rotation of the amino groups is discussed with reference to the experimental data. Rotation barrier calculations were carried out using B3PW91/3-21G* density functional method. The amino groups at positions 1, 4, 5, 8 were found not to be in rotational movement up to the EPR time-scale.

La scoperta, sistemazione e conservazione della grande Iscrizione di Gortina, nell'isola di Creta (1884-1921): la protezione delle testimonianze e le…

2013

La scoperta e la conservazione della Grande Iscrizione di Gortina a Creta, da parte degli studiosi italiani, fra la fine del XIX sec. e i primi decenni del XX sec., rappresentò un grande riconoscimento scientifico-culturale per la giovane nazione italiana. Nel passato, l’isola di Creta era stata legata alla Repubblica di Venezia e anche questo rapporto favorì l’invio a Creta del giovane epigrafista F. Halbherr, il quale fra notevoli peripezie rinvenne, assieme all’epigrafista tedesco E. Fabricius, la famosa l’iscrizione nell’antica città di Gortina. L’iscrizione, fra le più antiche e complete finora conosciute in tutta Europa, conteneva le norme sulla famiglia, l’eredità e in generale i dir…

The discovery and preservation of the Great Inscription of Gortyna in Crete by Italian researchers in the late nineteenth century. and the first decades of the twentieth century. was an important cultural and scientific recognition for the young Italian nation. In the past the island of Crete had been tied to the Republic of Venice and this report also favored sending in Crete the young epigraphist F. Halbherr who among considerable vicissitudes came to together to the epigraphist german E. Fabricius the inclusion of the famous ancient city of Gortyna. The inscription among the oldest and most comprehensive so far known throughout Europe the rules contained on the family's legacy in general and the rights and duties of some of the people of the Minoan civilization (480-450 BC). The inscription was carved on blocks organic limestone a restored ancient building which later in Roman times was turned into odeon. The Laws of Gortyn were engraved on the remains of the wall forming the passageway in front of the steps of the odeon. The essay traces the events that led to the discovery and subsequent storage made by Halbherr especially with the help of archaeologist L. Pernier and finally with the help of architect E. Stefani who designed a modern cover on the top of the ambulatory of the segments containing the inscription. This coverage was made to perform during the First World War on the basis of the Italian project from the Greek Government in order to protect the membership from possible war damage but especially from vandalism. The roof brick clay of the Laws of Gortyna still serves its function and ensures the use of the monument bearing witness to the preservation of Italian culture in Greece and more generally in the world. But in Sicily in the remains of the Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina (Enna) its elegant protection (built in 1957) is representative of a whole period of culture of the Italian restoration is removed and replaced because it has not been able to make a ongoing maintenance is due. A bad example of conservation and management of a UNESCO monument from which arise after the work for the construction of new roofs an equally insulting to the archaeological heritage and scenic Italian and world.Settore ICAR/19 - Restauro

Crystal structure of bis(2-aminoanilinium) hydrogen phosphate

2016

In the title compound, the hydrogen phosphate anions are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to [100]. The inorganic anionic chains and the organic cations are linked by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional supra­molecular network extending parallel to (001).
