Annotazioni sull’elenco dei giogali d’argento del cavaliere trapanese Fra’ Alessio di Ferro
2019
The article deals with the inventory of 1763 of the giogali owned by the knight of Saint John Fra' Alessio di Ferro, which is located in the State Archives in Trapani. In particular, these are some notes relating to the silver items in his possession. Alessio di Ferro was an illustrious exponent of one of the most prominent families in the centuries of the city of Trapani linked to the island of Malta.
Molecular Selectivity of CH 4 –C 2 H 6 Mixed Hydrates: A GCMC Study
2021
International audience; In this paper, we report the first grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation study aiming at characterizing the competitive trapping of CH4 and C2H6 molecules into clathrate hydrates under temperature conditions typical of those encountered at the surface of Titan. Various compositions of the fluid in contact with the clathrate phase have been considered in the simulations, including pure methane, pure ethane, and mixed fluids made of various methane/ethane ratios. The trapping isotherms obtained from the simulations clearly show that ethane molecules can be enclathrated at lower pressures than methane molecules. In addition, they provide evidence that the methane molec…
Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Human Inducible Nitric-Oxide Synthase Expression by the Jun N-terminal Kinase
2007
Human inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) expression is regulated both at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. In the present study, the effect of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) on human iNOS expression was investigated. In A549/8 human alveolar epithelial cells, both the inhibition of JNK by a pharmacological inhibitor anthra[1,9-cd]pyrazol-6(2H)-one1,9-pyrazoloanthrone (SP600125) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated down-regulation of JNK led to a reduction of iNOS mRNA and protein expression. iNOS promoter activity was not affected by these treatments. Hence, JNK seems to regulate iNOS expression through post-transcriptional mechanisms by stabilizing iNOS mRNA. Our labo…
The diversity of romantic pathways during emerging adulthood and their developmental antecedents
2016
The present study examined patterns of romantic pathways in 100 Israeli emerging adults (54 males) who were followed from age 22 to 29 years. Analyses of interviews at age 29 yielded four distinctive romantic pathways differing in stability and ability to learn from romantic experiences: Sporadic, Lengthy Relationships but Absence of Experiential Learning, Moving from Casual to Steady Involvements, and Steady Relationships. Low efficacy, immature dependency, and level of maternal support measured 7 years earlier, predicted less optimal romantic pathways; Sporadic, and Lengthy relationships but absence of experiential learning. Distinctive gender pathways suggested that men are more likely …
When it’s “All about the bike”—Intrapersonal conflict in light of passion for cycling and exercise dependence.
2015
A strong inclination to engage in a sport activity may provoke intrapersonal conflict. Yet, few studies have explicitly investigated such activity-related conflict in light of self-regulation of activity engagement. In the present research, we explored intrapersonal conflict measured as discrepant self-guides in relation to obsessive passion, harmonious passion, and exercise dependence. Two separate surveys were conducted including leisure time endurance off-road cyclists, with a total of 990 participants. In Study 1, discrepancies with respect to the participants’ actual and ideal involvement in the activity, as well as their perception of acceptance from significant others, were related t…
Jauniešu ar zemu izglītību iekļaušanās darba tirgū Latvijā
2013
Anotācija Promocijas darba nosaukums: Jauniešu ar zemu izglītību iekļaušanās darba tirgū Latvijā Promocijas darba autors: Mg.soc. Mareks Niklass Promocijas darba vadītājs: prof. Dr.soc. Aivars Tabuns Promocijas darba mērķis ir noskaidrot faktorus, kuri kavē vai veicina jauniešu ar zemu izglītību iekļaušanos darba tirgū Latvijā, kā arī pārbaudīt Herberta Saimona ierobežotās racionalitātes teorijas, Ulriha Beka riska sabiedrības teorijas un Marka Granovettera vājo saišu teoriju validitāti. Darbā autors izvirza šādu hipotēzi: jaunieši ar zemu izglītību racionālu apsvērumu vadīti nokļūst labklājības slazdā, kas liedz viņiem iespēju iegūt darba pieredzi un kontaktus, kā arī ierobežo viņu karjera…
Empowering Photovoltaics with Smart Light Management Technologies
2021
The daily Sun supplies the continents of the Earth with four times more energy than humanity consumes in a year. This enormous potential of solar energy to generate clean energy is therefore driving great efforts to replace conventional and unsustainable fossil fuel consumption that damages our climate and our environment. Solar photovoltaic (PV) is emerging as the fastest growing renewable energy technology in the world, yet its share to the electricity production currently is less than 3%. While coal and gas remain key to electricity production, the climate crisis demands a fast transition to a carbon-neutral energy system. In the year 2019, the PV industry produced solar panels with a ca…
Selection of sampling adsorbents and optimisation and validation of a GC-MS/MS method for airborne pesticides
2017
ABSTRACTA methodology for the sampling and determination of airborne pesticides has been developed. The trapping efficiency of three adsorbents, namely XAD-2,XAD-4 and a sandwich sorbent (PUF-XAD2-PUF), was tested for 34 pesticides and the latter was selected because it presented the highest retention capacity without breakthrough. Pesticides were determined by gas chromatography coupled to an ion trap mass spectrometer in tandem. The method showed recoveries ranging from 70% to 120% with limits of quantification in the range of 16.1–322.6 pg m−3 when 155 m3 were sampled. This analytical strategy was applied to 10 indoor air samples collected in dwellings from the Valencian Region. Six pest…
