Beni pubblici
2007
Il saggio esamina le conseguenze della revisione del 2001 del Titolo V, Parte II della Costituzione sul riparto delle competenze legislative tra Stato e Regioni in materia di beni pubblici, per valutare in particolare se il potenziamento dell’autonomia legislativa regionale abbia comportato un’ulteriore frammentazione delle categorie di beni pubblici elaborate dalla disciplina codicistica.
"Un assessore impreparato nella gestione dei monumenti"
2008
Sono apparse recentemente sulla stampa nazionale alcune dichiarazioni deflagranti dell’Assessore ai Beni Culturali (il medico Antonello Antinoro), circa la sua determinazione di cedere a privati per alcuni decenni i siti archeologici più importanti della Sicilia, come la Valle dei Templi di Agrigento (sito UNESCO), il teatro greco di Siracusa, quello di Taormina, etc…..L’obiettivo sarebbe quello di incassare dei canoni e di fare costruire varie opere; nel caso di Agrigento l’Assessore desidererebbe migliorie sul tracciato della strada Palermo-Agrigento e un eliporto; in altri casi alberghi, musei, etc… La proposta ha suscitato sconcerto, reazioni allarmate e dissenso anche da parte di espon…
A Comparative Analysis of the Social Performance of Global and Local Berry Supply Chains
2016
The goal of this paper is twofold: to comparatively analyze the social performance of global and local berry supply chains and to explore the ways in which the social dimension is embedded in the overall performance of food supply chains. To achieve this goal, the social performance of five global and local food supply chains in two countries are analyzed: wild blueberry supply chains in Latvia and cultivated raspberry supply chains in Serbia. The study addresses two research questions: (1) What is the social performance of the local and global supply chains? (2) How can references to context help improve understanding of the social dimension and social performance of food supply chains? To…

Pole-to-Pole Connections : Similarities between Arctic and Antarctic Microbiomes and Their Vulnerability to Environmental Change
2017
The global biogeography of microorganisms remains poorly resolved, which limits the current understanding of microbial resilience toward environmental changes. Using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we characterized the microbial diversity of terrestrial and lacustrine biofilms from the Arctic, Antarctic and temperate regions. Our analyses suggest that bacterial community compositions at the poles are more similar to each other than they are to geographically closer temperate habitats, with 32% of all operational taxonomic units (OTUs) co-occurring in both polar regions. While specific microbial taxa were confined to distinct regions, representing potentially endemic popul…
Magnaporthe oryzae as an expression host for the production of the unspecific peroxygenase AaeUPO from the basidiomycete Agrocybe aegerita.
2021
Abstract The filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae has the potential to be developed as an alternative platform organism for the heterologous production of industrially important enzymes. M. oryzae is easy to handle, fast‐growing and unlike yeast, posttranslational modifications like N‐glycosylations are similar to the human organism. Here, we established M. oryzae as a host for the expression of the unspecific peroxygenase from the basidiomycete Agrocybe aegerita (AaeUPO). Note, UPOs are attractive biocatalysts for selective oxyfunctionalization of non‐activated carbon‐hydrogen bonds. To improve and simplify the isolation of AaeUPO in M. oryzae, we fused a Magnaporthe signal peptide for pr…
Urbanization and forest degradation in east Africa - a case study around Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
2016
In this paper we examine the impact of the growing urbanization of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on the forest areas around the city. Since 1990 the city has seen an annual population growth rate of over 4%. We document the expansion of the city over the last 30 using the Global Human Settlement Layers, derived from the global Landsat archive. At the same time we show the depletion, of the surrounding forests that has occurred to meet the growing demand for agricultural land, fuel wood and construction material over the same period. The impact on these forests as a result of the demand from an expanding urban conglomeration is higher than would be expected from a dispersed population increase. T…
NFATc1 Is Transcriptionally Activated in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) By Promotor DNA-Hypomethylation Which Correlates with in-Vitro Vulnerabil…
2014
Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most frequent adult leukemia in Western countries, is characterized by progressive accumulation of mature, monoclonal B lymphocytes in blood, bone marrow, and lymphoid tissues. In the pathogenesis and treatment of CLL, B cell receptor (BCR) signaling plays a crucial role, and aberrations in downstream pathways that become activated in CLL need to be better defined. One downstream target of BCR signaling is NFATc1, a transcription factor with a high oncogenic and transforming potential. Employing a genome-wide comparative DNA methylation analysis the NFATc1 5’ region was identified to be DNA hypomethylated in CLL patient samples. The pilot ser…
Chromatin structure of the 5′ flanking region of the yeastLEU2 gene
1989
The chromatin structure of theLEU2 gene and its flanks has been studied by means of nuclease digestion, both with micrococcal nuclease and DNase I. The gene is organized in an array of positioned nucleosomes. Within the promoter region, the nucleosome positioning places the regulatory sequences, putative TATA box and upstream activator sequence outside the nucleosomal cores. The tRNA3 Leu gene possesses a characteristic structure and is protected against nucleases. Most of the 5′ flank is sensitive to DNase I digestion, although no clear hypersensitive sites were found. The chromatin structure is independent of either the transcriptional state of the gene or the chromosomal or episomal loca…
Accurate increment identification and the spatial extent of the common signal in fiveArctica islandicachronologies from the Fladen Ground, northern N…
2009
[1] The creation of networks of shell-based chronologies which can provide regionally extensive high-resolution proxies for the marine environment depends on the spatial extent of the common environmental signal preserved in the shell banding and on the reliability of the dating model. Here Arctica islandica chronologies from five neighboring sites in the North Sea are compared, and the strength of the common environmental signal across distances up to 80 km is analyzed using statistical techniques derived from dendrochronology. The signal is found to be coherent across these distances. In a linked study, chronologies based on one of the same sites but constructed by two different research …
