Governare il Mezzogiorno. Gli alleati e l'occupazione/liberazione del Sud (1943-1945)
2015
In winter 1943 the United Stated and Britain planned the invasion of Axis-held Europe and decided to invade Sicily. A Military Government (Amgot) – which would be a model for the future Allied administration in Europe – was set in order to administrate the occupied territories. While the Allied propaganda presented the invasion of Italy as a «liberation» from the Axis yoke, when in summer 1943 the Allied troops landed in Sicily, Italy was actually treated as a fully-fledged enemy country. When the Amgot became operative, the contradictory role of the Allies in the occupation emerged clearly. The aim of this article is to examine the complex aspects of this military occupation in Sicily an…
Ab initio molecular orbital study of the substituent effect on ammonia and phosphine–borane complexes
2004
Abstract The complexation energies of H 3 BXH 3− n F n ( X =N, P; n =0–3) and the proton affinities of XH 3– n F n compounds have been investigated at the G2(MP2) level of theory. The G2(MP2) results show that the phosphine complexes are more stable than the corresponding ammonia ones. Increasing fluorine substitution on nitrogen atom reduces both the basicity of NH 3− n F n and the stability of ammonia complexes. For the phosphine complexes, the successive fluorine substitution on the phosphine increase the stability of H 3 BPH 3− n F n complexes although the reduction of the basicity of the PH 3– n F n ligands with this substitution. The NBO partitioning scheme shows that the stability of…
Substituent effect on ammonia–borane donor–acceptor complexes: a G2(MP2) molecular orbital study
1998
Abstract H3BNHnMe3−n and Me3−nHnBNH3 (n=0–3) donor–acceptor complexes have been studied using the G2(MP2) method. Predicted equilibrium structures and dissociation energies have been correlated to the degree of substitution on the donor and the acceptor separately. It is found that successive methyl substitutions on boron reduce the dissociation energies of the complexes, contrary to the successive substitutions on nitrogen. The NBO partitioning scheme suggests that there is no correlation between the charge transfer and the dissociation energies. These results are interpreted in terms of the changes in the HOMO−LUMO gap, the type of acceptor and donor involved, and distortion of the accept…
Immuno-SLM—a combined sample handling and analytical technique
2004
Immuno-supported liquid membrane (immuno-SLM) extraction is a new technique that makes use of antibody (Ab)-antigen interactions as the "extraction force" to drive the mass transfer in a selective way. In immuno-SLM, anti-analyte (Ag) Abs are introduced into the acceptor phase of the SLM unit to trap the Ag that passes from the flowing donor through the SLM into the stagnant acceptor. The amount of immuno-extracted analyte (AbAg) is quantified by connecting the immuno-SLM unit on-line with a non-competitive heterogeneous fluorescence flow immunoassay (FFIA) that makes use of a fluorescein-labeled analyte tracer that titrates the residual excess of Ab present in the acceptor. A restricted ac…
Mesocrystalline Cr and Sb-codoped anatase visible-light-driven photocatalyst
2018
Abstract We report on the synthesis, characterization and visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity of mesocrystalline Cr- and Sb-codoped anatase nanoparticles. Discrete and morphologically well-defined assemblies of anatase nanoparticles sized below 100 nm × 50 nm were prepared by hydrothermal aging of aqueous solutions containing titanium alkoxide, chromium acetylacetonate, antimony acetate and triethanolamine (TEOA) as stabilizer. The as-prepared and TEOA-free doped nanoparticles showed similar crystallographic parameters and spectroscopic features. The incorporation of Cr and Sb dopant cations into the anatase nanoparticles was evaluated by Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction pa…
Combined Adsorption/Photocatalytic dye removal by copper-titania-fly ash composite
2020
Abstract Achieving both photocatalytic efficiency and adsorption capacity is essential to produce a highly efficient photocatalyst. This study fabricated a new photocatalyst by combining copper (Cu) doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) with fly ash (FA). The photocatalysts were synthesized using mild acid (acid-FA/Cu/TiO2), base (base-FA/Cu/TiO2), and deionized water (rFA/Cu/TiO2) activated FA. EDX confirmed the inclusion of Cu in both Cu/TiO2 and FA/Cu/TiO2 composites. XRD analysis indicated the presence of the anatase form of TiO2 after Cu doping and incorporation into modified FA. All three FA/Cu/TiO2 composites demonstrated high absorption (UV and visible region) compared to their TiO2 and Cu/…
An odor timer in milk? Synchrony in the odor of milk effluvium and neonatal chemosensation in the mouse.
2012
International audience; Mammalian newborns exhibit avid responsiveness to odor compounds emanating from conspecific milk. Milk is however developmentally heterogeneous in composition as a function of both evolved constraints and offspring demand. The present study aimed to verify whether milk odor attractivity for neonates is equally distributed along lactation in Mus musculus (Balb-c strain). Therefore, we exposed pups varying in age to milk samples collected from females in different lactational stages. The pups were assayed at postnatal days 2 (P2), 6 (P6) and 15 (P15) in a series of paired-choice tests opposing either murine milk and a blank (water), or two samples of milk collected in …
Modern Impressionist or Idyllic Genre Painter? Zorn’s European Fame from an Italian Perspective
2013
This article examines Zorn's international fame (France, Germany) and then focuses on the Swedish painter's controversial reception in Italian media (Vittorio Pica, Ardengo Soffici).
