A Plant Sociological Procedure for the Ecological Design and Enhancement of Urban Green Infrastructure
2021
AbstractUrban green infrastructure could represent an important mean for environmental mitigation, if designed according to the principles of restoration ecology. Moreover, if suitably executed, managed and sized, they may be assimilated to meta-populations of natural habitats, deserving to be included in the biodiversity monitoring networks. In this chapter, we combined automatised and expert opinion-based procedures in order to select the vascular plant assemblages to populate different microhabitats (differing in terms of light and moisture) co-occurring on an existing green roof in Zurich (Switzerland). Our results lead to identify three main plant species groups, which prove to be the …
Vareniclina. Un paso más en la lucha contra el tabaquismo
2007
Recientemente la Food and Drugs Administration ha aprobado Vareniclina, fármaco para la deshabituación tabáquica que presenta un novedoso mecanismo de acción, agonismo parcial de receptores nicotínicos de acetilcolina a4ß2.Hemos revisado la farmacología, eficacia y seguridad de Vareniclina y su utilidad en los procesos de deshabituación, usando como fuentes bibliográficas la base de datos MEDLINE , MD consults, American journal of Addictions y distintos manuales de referencia.De los tres ensayos clínicos publicados, dos de ellos, Jorenby y Gonzales comparan la eficacia y seguridad de Vareniclina 1mg/12h frente a Bupropion 150mg/12h y placebo, durante un periodo de 52 semanas, obteniéndose l…

L'attribuzione della qualifica 'vir bonus' nella prassi giudiziaria d'età repubblicana (a proposito di Cato, or. frg. 186 Sbelnd. = 206 Malc.)
2011
The qualification ‘vir bonus’, involved by an ancient judicial rule and by a sponsio (linked to this rule) containing the clause ‘ni vir melior esset’, which are both attested in a fragment of Cato the censor, expresses a positive assessment from a moral point of view and not from a social point of view, as is shown by all the sources we have for the III-II century BC. The emergence and the diffusion just in this period of a figure of vir bonus caracterised in a moral sense is probably due to a political and economic transformation of the Roman society.
Short range correlations in the weak decay of Lambda hypernuclei.
1995
The differences found in the relativistic and nonrelativistic methods used in the literature to account for short range nuclear correlations in the decay of \ensuremath{\Lambda} hypernuclei are analyzed. By means of a schematic microscopic model for the origin of correlations, the appropriate method to include them in nuclear processes is derived and is found to be the same one used in the nonrelativistic approach. The differences do not stem from relativistic effects but from the improper implementation of the correlations in the relativistic approach, which leads to several pathologies as shown in the paper. General formulas are given to evaluate the nonmesonic decay width of finite hyper…
Responses of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus adults to selected synthetic palm esters: electroantennographic studies and trap catches in an urban environme…
2010
BACKGROUND: The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier, accidentally introduced into the European countries facing the Mediterranean basin, is becoming the most serious pest for ornamental palms in the urban environment. In the present work, tests were conducted on the electroantennogram (EAG) and behavioural responses of RPW adults to five selected synthetic palm esters, ethyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl isobutyrate, ethyl lactate and ethyl acetate, to assess the application of a mass trapping technique in an urban environment. RESULTS: In the laboratory, EAG bioassays on RPW adults with the synthetic palm esters showed: (1) positive dose-dependent responses; (2) di…
Extending the search for neutrino point sources with iceCube above the horizon
2009
Point source searches with the IceCube neutrino telescope have been restricted to one hemisphere, due to the exclusive selection of upward going events as a way of rejecting the atmospheric muon background. We show that the region above the horizon can be included by suppressing the background through energy-sensitive cuts. This approach improves the sensitivity above PeV energies, previously not accessible for declinations of more than a few degrees below the horizon due to the absorption of neutrinos in Earth. We present results based on data collected with 22 strings of IceCube, extending its field of view and energy reach for point source searches. No significant excess above the atmosp…
Leaching of glyphosate and AMPA under two soil management practices in Burgundy vineyards (Vosne-Romanée, 21-France)
2005
Some drinking water reservoirs under the vineyards of Burgundy are contaminated with herbicides. Thus the effectiveness of alternative soil management practices, such as grass cover, for reducing the leaching of glyphosate and its metabolite, AMPA, through soils was studied. The leaching of both molecules was studied in structured soil columns under outdoor conditions for 1 year. The soil was managed under two vineyard soil practices: a chemically treated bare calcosol, and a vegetated calcosol. After 680 mm of rainfall, the vegetated calcosol leachates contained lower amounts of glyphosate and AMPA (0.02% and 0.03%, respectively) than the bare calcosol leachates (0.06% and 0.15%, respectiv…
Upper limit on the diffuse flux of ultrahigh energy tau neutrinos from the Pierre Auger Observatory
2008
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to Earth-skimming tau neutrinos that interact in Earth’s crust. Tau leptons from ντ charged-current interactions can emerge and decay in the atmosphere to produce a nearly horizontal shower with a significant electromagnetic component. The data collected between 1 January 2004 and 31 August 2007 are used to place an upper limit on the diffuse flux of ντ at EeV energies. Assuming an E−2ν differential energy spectrum the limit set at 90% C.L. is E2νdNντdEν<1.3×10−7 GeV cm−2 s−1 sr−1 in the energy range 2×1017 eV<E<2×1019 eV.
