Investigation of the hygienic safety of aromatic plants cultivated in soil contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes
2012
Abstract The present work was undertaken to investigate the survival of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19114T in soil during the whole crop cycle of rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.) and basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), to monitor its transfer to the leaves, and to evaluate its viability at harvest. To this purpose, the soil was N–P–K fertilized and four trials, obtained with different combinations of soil treatment, listerial inoculums and seed planting, were followed for each aromatic plant. Soil was weekly investigated for total microbial counts and L. monocytogenes evolution. At the starting time, un-inoculated autoclaved soil showed a limited microbial load (103 CFU g dw−1), while un-inoculated non…
Volatile flavour components of ocimum basilicum var. hispidum (lam.) Chiov.
1991
The volatile components obtained by steam-distillation ofOcimum basilicum var. hispidum (Lam.) Chiov. (Labiatae) were analysed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography—mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 21 compounds, representing ca 90% of the total oil, were identified. The identity of the main component (82%), dihydrotagetone, was confirmed by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. This is the first report of this compound in the genus Ocimum.
Analysis and reconstruction in stages of the design and construction process of the old and new basilica of S. Peter in Vatican, and its surroundings
2020
Resumen 1. Objetivos El objetivo general de esta Tesis Doctoral es reconstruir el proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua y nueva basílica de San Pedro en el Vaticano, y de su entorno cercano. De forma complementaria, se reconstruye la evolución de la trama urbana del área del Vaticano, desde su origen hasta la actualidad. La reconstrucción del proceso de diseño y construcción se realizará de forma descriptiva y, especialmente, de forma gráfica. Los planos se realizarán con gran detalle, a escala y con gran precisión, utilizando las más avanzadas herramientas de dibujo digital. La reconstrucción de las diferentes etapas del proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua basílica se r…
Ernesto Basile e lo studio della figura umana nel disegno "dal vero" e "al vero".
2012
Questo nuovo corpus di opere supporta l'ipotesi che, al contrario, l'attenzione data al disegno dal vero, non soltanto quello architettonico o floreale, sia stata una costante nell'opera basiliana, e che il ritratto e, soprattutto, più in generale, il disegno di figura, ne siano una parte strutturale. E questa attenzione non si limita al piano ideologico, come si potrebbe dedurre dall'accalorato intervento del 1879 sulla rivista «Pensiero ed Arte», con il quale il giovane architetto rivolgeva pubblicamente le proprie richieste al senatore palermitano Perez, l'allora Ministro della Pubblica Istruzione, in merito all'auspicata realizzazione di una Scuola di Belle Arti a Palermo, affermando: «…
Kasvien kasvun ja laadun vertailu hydroponic- ja aquaponic-systeemeissä
2017
Yhdistetystä kalanviljelystä ja kasvien vesiviljelystä eli aquaponic-viljelystä lupaillaan helpotusta ruoantuotannon globaaleihin ongelmiin sillä se vähentää vesiviljelyyn tarvittavien ravinteiden määrää hyödyntäen kalojen jätösten ravinteet kasvisadon tuottamiseen. Aquaponic-viljelyllä on siis potentiaalia lisätä ruoantuotannon tehokkuutta, mutta sen laajamittaista käyttöönottoa hidastavat viljelyn monimutkaisuus sekä korkeat aloituskustannukset. Kaupallinen tehotuotanto on toistaiseksi ollut vaatimatonta, näin ollen aquaponicsin taloudellisesta tuottavuudesta on vähäisesti tutkimustuloksia. Tutkimuksemme tarkoitus oli tuottaa lisää tietoa kasvien kasvusta ja laadusta aquaponic-systeemissä…
La relazione tra il kata podas e le traduzioni di Taleleo dei rescritti in latino del Codex
2013
Il contributo mira a dimostrare, attraverso il confronto tra le traduzioni letterali di Taleleo e quelle dell'anonimo autore del kata podas, che la scelta dell'antecessore di cambiare metodo di insegnamento e non dettare più proprie traduzioni letterali dopo il terzo libro del Codice, non dipese da ragioni di metodo di insegnamento (come sostenuto in dottrina) ma da esigenze pratiche, legate al poco tempo avuto a disposizione per la redazione del commentario al secondo Codice di Giustiniano.
Analysis of Rabbit Vascular Responses to DBI, an Ingol Derivative Isolated from Euphorbia canariensis
1997
Abstract We have analysed the effects of 7,12-O-diacetyl-8-O-benzoil-2,3-diepiingol (DBI), an ingol derivative isolated from E. canariensis, on isometric tension developed by isolated rabbit basilar and carotid arteries. Concentration-response curves to DBI (10−8 - 3 × 10−5 m) were obtained cumulatively in both arteries at resting tension and active tone (KC1, 50 mm). At resting tension, DBI induced a concentration-dependent contraction, which was not inhibited in Ca2+-free medium. H7 (1-(5-isoquinoline sulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dichloride) (10−4 m) inhibited the DBI-induced contraction both in basilar and in carotid arteries. Calmidazolium (10−4 m) inhibited the maximum contraction of …
Endoscope-assisted microsurgery for cerebral aneurysms.
1999
A total of 66 patients with intracranial aneurysms were endoscopically assisted treated during a 3 years period. Among those were five individuals with giant aneurysms and 27 patients with aneurysms of the posterior circulation. The endoscope was used only for checking the anatomical structures surround the aneurysms in 16 cases. In 43 patients the aneurysm sac was also dissected under endoscopical con-trol. Even the clipping procedure was performed in seven cases exclusively under endoscopical obser-vation. Only one prematural rupture occurred intraoperatively during preparation of a basilar tip aneurysm. Postoperatively three individuals with aneurysms located in the posterior circulation…
Vertebrobasilar junction giant aneurysm: Lessons learned from a neurosurgical audit and anatomical investigation.
2015
The treatment of vascular lesions of the vertebrobasilar junction (VBJ) remains a challenging task in the neurosurgical practice and the gold standard therapy is still under debate. In this article, the authors report a detailed postmortem study of a VBJ giant aneurysm (GA) previously endovascularly treated. Although the decision-making process for the vast majority of neurosurgical treatment can nowadays be accurately carried out during the preoperative planning (i.e., with the aid of neuroimaging fusion protocols, neuronavigation platforms, etc.) meant to maximize the anatomical understanding of the lesions and minimize possible intraprocedural challenges, this postmortem study represents…
Topical therapies for oral lichen planus management and their efficacy: a narrative review.
2012
Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory condition implicating T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and involving oral mucosal surfaces. Several therapeutic regimens have been evaluated to treat OLP and pain related, but often without high level of evidence. Topical formulations are the favourite for the majority of cases; bioadhesive formulations have been considered very useful and practical for local drug delivery in oral mucosa, due to the increased residence time on the oral mucosa of the dosage forms and better therapeutic efficacy. In this narrative review, authors try to illustrate the current topical managements for OLP from the accessible literature on this topic. Steroids are …
