The recent spread of the invasive woody alien plant Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) in Sicily

2013

This paper aims at reporting the ongoing process of naturalization of Melia azedarach L. in Sicily. In fact, over half a century after the first detection of spontaneous self-sown seedlings, an abrupt increase of naturalization cases has been recorded by the authors during the last twenty years. More in detail, M. azedarach successfully colonized many suburban lowland areas along the coasts of the island which are characterised by thermo-Mediterranean bioclimate. According to both field and literature data, a gradual spread of M. azedarach in the island can be expected, although it is not possible to predict the speed with which this will occur. Historical information on its introduction at…

Acacia cyclops A. Cunn. ex G. Don (Leguminosae) in Italy: first cases of naturalization

2012

The first two cases of naturalization of Acacia cyclops are reported for Italy. Young trees were observed growing in the wild some 15 years ago on Linosa (Pelagie Islands, Strait of Sicily). A decade later, this alien plant should no longer be considered as a casual, since a very intensive process of self-sown regeneration has been observed in some plantations on Lampedusa, the major island of the same Archipelago. The available literature suggests the need for careful monitoring of the ongoing invasion process, as A. cyclops has already shown a very invasive behaviour elsewhere within Mediterranean-type biomes due to its ability to withstand high environmental stresses. As migrating birds …

The Religion of Ammon

2015

The Ammonites, a people living east of the Jordan River, were neighbors of the ancient Israelites. The Old Testament (1 Kings, 11,5; 2 Kings, 23,13) and probably an inscription from the citadel of Amman mention Milkom as the supreme God of the Ammonites. Most Ammonite names did not contain the name of their national god, but used a more generic divine name, ’El. We don’t know if the name: ’El refers to the Canaanite god or to a local manifestation of this deity. Ammonites also worshiped other deities (i.e. ‘Astarte, ‘Anat, Ba‘al, Hadad/’Adad, Qos, Samas, YHWH and Yerah). A number of limestone statues and clay figurines of bearded individuals wearing an atef-crown could be Ammonite monarchs …

Polyphenols pattern and correlation with antioxidant activities of berries extracts from four different populations of SicilianSambucus nigraL.

2014

Sambucus nigra L. (Caprifoliaceae) is wide spread in temperate and sub-tropical zones. The consumption of its berries has been associated with health benefits especially for its high content of natural antioxidants such as polyphenols, in particular anthocyanins. In this work we investigated the polyphenolic composition and the in vitro antioxidant activities (ABTS, DPPH, BCB and FRAP-ferrozine (FRAP-FZ) assays) of S. nigra berries, collected in four different Sicilian areas (Italy). Elderberries are considered one of the fruits with highest anthocyanins content, the amount of phenolic compounds, other than anthocyanins, is approximately 1.5 times greater than the latter. The LC–MS analyses…

Ontogeny of the Calliandra – massulae (Mimosaceae: Ingeae), and the associated viscin body

2006

Abstract Polyads, called also massulae, are common in the Mimosaceae. Within this family, only in Calliandra (s. l.) polyads show a remarkable morphological variation: 16-grained lens-shaped massulae in the neotropical Zapoteca (syn. Calliandra p.p.), and highly asymmetric eight-grained massulae in Calliandra (s. str.). As a further specialisation the massulae in Calliandra (s. str.) possess a sticky appendage called a viscin body. The form and ontogeny of this unique two-dimensional construction of the massula is of particular interest. In Calliandra (s. str.) the octad is normally the developmental product of the initiation stage, beginning with one pollen mother cell (PMC). In total, Cal…

Analisi strutturale condotta con il BEM simmetrico in analogia al FEM

2009

Nell’articolo si presenta l’approccio agli spostamenti del Metodo Simmetrico degli Elementi di Contorno attraverso una suddivisione del corpo continuo in macroelementi denominati ebem. Attraverso questo approccio, caratterizzato da una forte condensazione delle variabili, si determina per ogni e-bem una matrice capostipite a partire dalla quale viene generata la relazione costitutiva del singolo e-bem. Quest’ultima relaziona soltanto variabili all’interfaccia tra i macroelementi, e precisamente il vettore delle trazioni pesate con il vettore degli spostamenti nodali e con il vettore delle azioni esterne. Una tale strategia è molto simile a quella seguita dal Metodo degli Elementi Finiti, ma…
