Reaction of 3-Amino-1,2,4-Triazole with Diethyl Phosphite and Triethyl Orthoformate: Acid-Base Properties and Antiosteoporotic Activities of the Prod…

2017

The reaction of diethyl phosphite with triethyl orthoformate and a primary amine followed by hydrolysis is presented, and the reaction was suitable for the preparation of (aminomethylene)bisphosphonates. 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole was chosen as an interesting substrate for this reaction because it possesses multiple groups that can serve as the amino component in the reaction-namely, the side-chain and triazole amines. This substrate readily forms 1,2,4-triazolyl-3-yl-aminomethylenebisphosphonic acid (compound 1) as a major product, along with N-ethylated bisphosphonates as side products. The in vitro antiproliferative effects of the synthesized aminomethylenebisphosphonic acids against J774E m…

Neighbourhoods in Bucarest: recognition, conservation and inheritage

2012

Il contributo traccia le linee-guida per una proposta di conservazione integrata di un quartiere residenziale periferico di Bucarest, costruito tra Ottocento e Novecento, attraverso il riconoscimento dei suoi valori culturali e di autenticità, pur non disgiunti da reali possibilità di riuso e da un adeguamento, in termini prestazionali, alle esigenze contemporanee.

Effects of zoledronic acid and dexamethasone on early phases of socket healing after tooth extraction in rats : a preliminary macroscopic and microsc…

2018

Background The exact pathogenesis of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is still unknown. The aim of this paper was to investigate the effects of zoledronic acid and dexamethasone on the early phases of socket healing in rats subjected to tooth extractions. Material and Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 2 groups: pharmacologically treated group (T, n=20) and non-pharmacologically treated group (C, n=10). T group rats received 0.1 mg/Kg of zoledronic acid (ZOL) and 1 mg/Kg of dexamethasone (DEX) three times a week for 10 consecutive weeks. C group rats were infused with vehicle. After 9 weeks from the first infusion, first maxillary molars were extrac…

A new algorithm for a robust solution of the fully dynamic Saint-Venant equations

2003

A new procedure for the numerical solution of the fully dynamic shallow water equations is presented. The procedure is a fractional step methodology where the original system is split into two sequential ones. The first system differs from the original one because of the head gradient term, that is treated as constant and equal to the value computed at the end of the previous time step. The solution of this system, called kinematic, is computed in each element using a spatial zero order approximation for both the heads and the flow rates by means of integration of single ODEs. The second system is called diffusive, contains in the momentum equations only the complementary terms and can be e…

Il monastero di Santa Caterina d’Alessandria di Palermo: conoscere per conservare

2019

Il saggio indaga il complesso monumentale di Santa Caterina d’Alessandria, di Palermo, che costituisce uno dei più antichi monasteri di clausura della città. Il contributo è il frutto della ricerca condotta da Renata Prescia e Rosario Scaduto e presentata nel catalogo della mostra Sacra et preziosa Orificeria dai monasteri di Palermo capitale, tenutasi nel Monastero di Santa Caterina d’Alessandria di Palermo, 28.12.2018-31.05.2019. Grazie alla convenzione sottoscritta dal Dipartimento di Architettura e la Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali e Ambientali di Palermo è stato possibile effettuare un particolareggiato rilievo dello stato di conservazione del monumento e presentare dei progetti p…

I grandi alberi dei Nebrodi

2012

In questo libro sono presentati i risultati di una ricerca portata avanti dagli Autori, botanici del Dipartimento di Biologia ambientale e Biodiversità dell’Università di Palermo. L’indagine ha riguardato sia ambienti di tipo forestale sia di tipo agricolo tradizionale ed ha messo in luce un ricco patrimonio arboreo di tipo monumentale. Significative sono le immagini relative ai grandi aceri, ai ragguardevoli individui di due specie endemiche dei Nebrodi (Pyrus vallis-demonis e Malus crescimannoi) e al faggio di Fago scuro che rappresenta il patriarca di tutti i faggi d’Italia. Dopo il 150° dell’Unità d’Italia non poteva mancare il Grande Pino piantato in concomitanza dello sbarco di Giusep…

Phelipanche lainzii, nueva Orobáncacea para la península Ibérica

2012

[ES] Se describe una nueva especie ibérica perteneciente al género Phelipanche Pomel (Orobanchaceae): Ph. lainzii, sp. nov., hallada en el noreste de la provincia de Albacete, cerca de la provincia de Valencia (E de España). Entre otras características, presenta por lo general tallo mediano a pequeño, inflorescencia densa, corola azul pálido de tubo estrecho, apenas infundibuliforme y no muy ensanchado en la garganta, con lóbulos del labio inferior no deflexos y cáliz con dientes subulados. Su morfología es parecida a Ph. mutelii (F.W. Schultz) Pomel, Ph. camphorosmae Carlón, G. Gómez, M. Laínz, Moreno Mor., Ó. Sánchez & Schneew. y Ph. nana (F.W. de Noë ex Rchb. fil.) Soják, por lo que se a…

Comparative Chemical Characterisation of Soils at Cypripedium Calceolus Sites in Latvia

2017

Abstract The main aim of the study was to evaluate the soil chemical characteristics of Cypripedium calceolus sites in Latvia for understanding of the species ecology, and its conservation problems and possibilities. Soil for 27 C. calceolus sites in Latvia was analysed during 2007-2015. The concentration of plant available essential nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Mo, B), soil pH, electrical conductivity and concentration of organic matter were determined. Nutrient concentration of C. calceolus leaf samples from six sites were determined. The results demonstrated high heterogeneity in soil chemical composition with high variation for Ca, Mg, and Mn. The results suggest some …

Soil loss tolerance in the context of the European Green Deal

2023

Soil erosion by water, and the consequent loss of a non-renewable resource, is a relevant environmental issue which has economic, ecologic, and social repercussions. In the context of the European Green Deal, the increasing awareness of soil Ecosystem Services is leading to give the due relevance to this problem. Notwithstanding the recent soil conservation strategies adopted by the Common Agricultural Policy had positive effects, the concern regarding this topic is drastically increasing for the normalization of extraordinary rainfall events due to climate change. Recent events occurred in Europe demonstrated that landscape protection is often inadequate and interventions to prevent damage…
