A recent portrait of bioactive triazoles
2010
Scientists have extensively explored new synthetic routes in order to obtain 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazoles as they represent a very interesting class of compounds due to their wide range of biological activities such as antitumor, antiinflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, etc. This mini review reports the synthesis and the biological activities of compounds containing a triazole moiety published since 2007. No attempt is made to provide a comprehensive literature overview, our aim is to highlight some more recent examples of synthetic biological active compounds. In particular, we focus on the applications of “click reactions” that allow the regioselective synthesis of…

Obraz schyłku epoki w powieści Ladislava Fuksa „Vévodkyně a kuchařka”
2017
Portrait of the end of an epoch in Ladislav Fuks’ novel Vevodkyně a kuchařka The subject of the article entitled ‘‘Portrait of the end of an epoch in Ladislav Fuks’ novel Vevodkyně a kuchařka” is the reflection on the last work of the novelist published in 1983. Apart from old age, which is the conference key matter and is considered mainly on the level of literary character in this case such strategy may be related to arepresentative of an aristocracy prince Leuchtenberg-Aulendorf, the author dedicates majority of attention to metaphorical understanding of this issue. For old age can refer to the decline of the ‘long’ 19th century, and the argumentation for such biological consideration of…

Techniques in the Theory of Local Bifurcations: Cyclicity and Desingularization
1993
A fundamental open question of the bifurcation theory of vector fields in dimension 2 is whether the number of locally bifurcating limit cycles in an analytic unfolding is bounded, or more precisely, whether any limit periodic set has finite cyclicity. In these notes we introduce several techniques for attacking this question: asymptotic expansion of return maps, ideal of coefficients, desingularization of parametrized families. Moreover, because of their practical interest, we present some partial results obtained by these techniques.
Le tre vite di un’effigie onoraria: usi e abusi di un ritratto virile dall’agorà/foro di Alesa (Sicilia)
2021
L’articolo esamina una testa maschile dall’agorà/ foro di Alesa, analizzando le tracce che ne testimoniano tre fasi di vita, consentendo di cogliere dinamiche e meccanismi della pratica onoraria e dei processi inversi di oblio o cancellazione della memoria. In origine la testa faceva parte con ogni probabilità di una statua augustea togata velato capite; nella sua seconda vita, viene trasformata in un ritratto di giovane principe della prima età costantiniana (probabilmente Licinio II, cui si riferisce anche una dedica alesina); nella fase finale, essa subisce abuso e viene sfregiata negli organi sensoriali. Anche abbattuta e vandalizzata, l’opera costituisce una presenza attiva nel centro …
Self-portrait of an Orator as a Poet : images and Poetic references in Aelius Aristides' work
2022
Aelius Aristides is one of the major representatives of the Second Sophistic : his speeches are exemplary of the development of epidictic rhetoric in the imperial period. Everything in his work, including what he himself says on the subject, gives the image of an orator devoted body and soul to rhetoric and confident in the powers of prose. This is also the portrait that most studies since the 19th century have confirmed.However, poetry plays an important role in Aristide's speeches : they contain many poetic images and references. Moreover, Aristide writes poems and gives us fragments of them. He does not hesitate to refer to his own verses in speeches from both the beginning and the end o…
