Sustainable Weed, Disease and Pest Management in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
2015
As for all other crops, in MAPs as well, weeds, diseases and pests are important yield-reducing factors, which may severely curtain biomass production and, that is maybe more important, may affect several qualitative aspects of production. Research about this topic is generally lacking, for two main reasons: the first is that MAPs are generally grown on rather limited areas, and the incidence of specific pests and diseases rarely takes a relevance outside rather narrow boundaries. The second reason is that the economical importance of MAPs is much lower than that ascribed to the “major” crops, which the bigger efforts of research are addressed to. In the changing scenario of latter years, h…
<title>Noninvasive detection of intracerebral hemorrhage using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)</title>
1998
Intracerebral Hemorrhage (IH) is an important cause of secondary brain injury in neurosurgical patients. Early identification and treatment improve neurologic outcome. We have tested Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) as an alternative noninvasive diagnostic tool compared to CT-Scans to detect IH. We prospectively studied 212 patients with neurologic symptoms associated with intracranial pathology before performing a CT-scan. NIRS signals indicated pathologies in 181 cases (sensitivity 0.96; specificity 0.29). In a subgroup of subdural hematomas NIRS detected 45 of 46 hematomas (sensitivity 0.96; specificity 0.79). Identification of intracerebral hemorrhage using NIRS has the potential to al…
The effect of saline water on Phillyrea angustifolia L. seedlings
2013
Water limitations in the Mediterranean areas are very common and the use of saline water for plant irrigation is becoming a necessity. Salinity generally affects plant growth and physiological processes, and can eventually lead to leaf injuries and plant death. For these reasons, the selection of salt tolerant species is a priority for landscaping purposes in the Mediterranean areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of saline water on Phillyrea angustifolia plant performance. Seventy-five rooted cuttings were grown in the greenhouse in 4-liter pots and irrigated for 5 months with saline water at different NaCl concentrations for two consecutive years. In 2010, 45 plant…
Somalialaistaustaiset nuoret nimistönkäyttäjinä Itä-Helsingissä
2011
Artikkelin tutkimuskohteena ovat Itä-Helsingissä asuvat somalialaistaustaiset nuoret. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan somalialaistaustaisten nuorten omassa asuinympäristössään käyttämää paikannimistöä sekä nimistöhaastattelujen tavoitteita ja tuloksia. Tutkimuksen aineistona on viiden iältään 12–17-vuotiaan somalialaistaustaisen haastattelut, jotka on tehty vuonna 2008. Haastattelut ovat olleet ryhmähaastatteluja, joissa nuoret keskustelevat omasta asuinympäristöstään. Tukiaineistona on käytetty sekä aikuisten somalialaistaustaisten että suomalaistaustaisten itähelsinkiläisten haastatteluja. Tutkimus liittyy kahteen Suomen Akatemian hankkeeseen: Nimimaiseman muutos Helsingin sosiolingvistisesti…
Benedyktyni w Tomaszowie Mazowieckim w latach 1922-1923
2018
W 1919 r. do Polski wrócili benedyktyni, wcześniej usunięci w konsekwencji kasat klasztorów. Po pierwszej, nieudanej próbie odrodzenia klasztoru na Świętym Krzyżu, ojcowie Klemens Dąbrowski (1875-1953) oraz Jozafat Ostrowski (1890-1939) udali się do Tomaszowa Mazowieckiego. Klasztor miał powstać w pałacu rodziny Ostrowskich z inicjatywy matki o. Jozafata, czyli hr. Delfiny z Tyszkiewiczów Ostrowskiej (żona hr. Juliusza Ostrowskiego). Ostrowscy obiecali też pomoc materialną, np. żywność dla mnichów. Przy klasztorze miała funkcjonować szkoła, biblioteka, muzeum. Czas pobytu w Tomaszowie Mazowieckim (22 XI 1922- 9 XI 1923) wykorzystano na prowadzenie rekolekcji, informowanie kim są benedyktyni…
Akadēmiķa Jāņa Endzelīna 150. dzimšanas dienas atcerei veltīta starptautiska zinātniska konference "Endzelīns. Valoda. Laiks": Tēzes
2023
Tēžu krājumā apvienotas LU Latviešu valodas institūta rīkotās akadēmiķa Jāņa Endzelīna (1873–1961) 150. dzimšanas dienas atcerei veltītās starptautiskas zinātniskas konferences tēzes, kuras iesnieguši 43 konferences dalībnieki no Latvijas, Lietuvas, Igaunijas, Somijas, Ukrainas, Čehijas, Norvēģijas un Vācijas. Akadēmiķa atceres konferences tiek rīkotas jau kopš 1963. gada. 2023. gada 22.–23. februāra konference “Endzelīns. Valoda. Laiks” bija īpaša, jo tika atzīmēta valodnieka simtpiecdesmitgade; tajā tika godināts Jānis Endzelīns un viņa devums baltistikā, kā arī skartas viņa pētītās jomas: gramatika, onomastika, dialektoloģija, vēsturiskā valodniecība, indoeiropeistika un valodas kultūra.…
Analysis of Ki-Ras mutations in stage I rectal carcinomas and respective regional lymph nodes.
2007
In this work we show that the percentage of Ki-RAS mutations in codons 12 and 13 in rectal cancer are sensibly lower than in colon cancer, providing further evidence that these two kinds of tumors should be considered two different entities. Moreover, we show that the detection in regional lymph nodes of the same mutation of primary tumor might represent an indicator of lymph nodes metastasis in rectal carcinoma not detected in routine histologic examination.
Membrane Bioreactors for wastewater reuse: Respirometric assessment of biomass activity during a two year survey
2018
Abstract Stricter effluent limits, water shortage conditions, land availability requires today even more the needs of advanced wastewater treatments. Attractive solutions come from membrane bioreactors (MBR), Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) or combinations (i.e., IFAS-MBRs). One crucial aspect for the applicability of this overall new technology, compared to the conventional activated sludge systems, is the lack of knowledge for design and manage (e.g., kinetic constants, optimal operative conditions etc.). In view of the above frame, the aim of the present study was to assess the kinetic and stoichiometric parameters of bacterial species in MBRs by means of respirometric tech…
