Propolis as a Cariostatic Agent in Lozenges and Impact of Storage Conditions on the Stability of Propolis
2023
Propolis is known as a source of compounds with strong antibacterial activity. Due to the antibacterial effect against streptococci of the oral cavity, it seems to be a useful agent in decreasing the accumulation of dental plaque. It is rich in polyphenols which are responsible for a beneficial impact on the oral microbiota and antibacterial effect. The aim of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Polish propolis against cariogenic bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined on cariogenic streptococci related to the occurrence of dental caries. Lozenges based on xylitol, glycerin, gelatin, water, and ethan…
L'accumulation des protéines dans les graines de légumineuses
2017
The agroecological benefits of legumes and the renewed interest in the consumption of vegetable proteins stimulate researches on cognitive and applied aspects of seed biology aiming at optimizing protein composition of legume seeds. This article presents the state of knowledge on the genetic and environmental control of the accumulation of major proteins found in legume seeds, with a view to developing varieties with improved nutritional seed quality. It also shows how high-throughput genomics and post-genomics data, along with translational research aiming at transferring knowledge between model and crop species, can accelerate the identification of genes controlling the accumulation of st…
Nanotechnologies and Radiation Processes : Online meeting (Riga, 3–4 February 2022)
2022
The Institute of Chemical Physics of the University of Latvia held an online conference session “Nanotechnologies and Radiation Processes” on the 3rd and the 4th of February of 2022. The session was organised within the framework of the 80th International Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia. The Book of Abstracts of the session focuses on such topics as energy harvesting, storage processes, development of functional materials, radiation processes in solids, growth, and fundamental studies of topological insulator nanostructures.
Multi-Energy School System for Seasonal Use in the Mediterranean Area
2020
School buildings represent an energy-consuming sector of real estate where different efficiency actions are necessary. The literature shows how the design of a multi-energy system offers numerous advantages, however, there are problems related to the integration of cogeneration units with renewable energy sources due to the low flexibility of the first one and the high degree of uncertainty of the latter. The authors provide an alternative solution through the analysis of a case study consisting of a multiple energy system in three Sicilian schools, focusing on the system&rsquo
Lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles: combining Environmental and Social Life Cycle Assessments
2018
Electric vehicles (xEV) are a key low carbon technology for mobility. Although xEV have no tailpipe emissions, the production of traction batteries leads to environmental and social burdens. In this context, authors assess the environmental and social impacts of a cell of Lithium ion traction battery in order to identify the most relevant aspects and the potential added value of performing both the assessments. Results show the relevance of the resources in terms of both environmental and social impacts. Moreover, the social assessment results pointed out the relevance of the geographical boundaries, often overlooked for in the environmental analysis. The combination of both the assessment …
Data from: Low fitness at low latitudes: wintering in the tropics increases migratory delays and mortality rates in an Arctic breeding shorebird
2020
1. Evolutionary theories of seasonal migration generally assume that the costs of longer migrations are balanced by benefits at the non-breeding destinations. 2. We tested, and rejected, the null hypothesis of equal survival and timing of spring migration for High Arctic breeding sanderling Calidris alba using six and eight winter destinations between 55° N and 25° S, respectively. 3. Annual apparent survival was considerably lower for adult birds wintering in tropical West-Africa (Mauritania: 0.74 and Ghana: 0.75) than in three European sites (0.84, 0.84 and 0.87) and in subtropical Namibia (0.85). Moreover, compared with adults, second calendar-year sanderlings in the tropics, but not in …
Data storage infrastructure laboratory
2021
El material ha obtingut un premi Fernando Sapiña del SPL. El material correspon a la part experimental de l'assignatura Infraestructura d'Emmagatzematge de Dades, de segon curs del Grau en Ciència de Dades de la Universitat de València. El material està dividit en una introducció, una pràctica 0 a realitzar a casa, i 7 sessions a realitzar en el laboratori de l'assignatura. Les pràctiques es realitzen amb una màquina virtual Linux, que es pot descarregar pels i les estudiants. A la sessió 0 es realitza la instal·lació de la màquina virtual i s'introdueixen les primeres instruccions del intèrpret d’ordres . En la sessió 1 s'aprofundeix en l’intèrpret d’ordres, passant-se en la sessió 2 a org…
Una scorsa all’Orto Botanico di Palermo
2013
On the base of a valuable documentation of project drawings, sketches and old survey, the Author proposes graphic studies aimed to critically revisit all neoclassical buildings of the Gymnasium that it is it possible to see at the Botanical Garden of Palermo. The charming open-air laboratory that the Botanical Garden of Palermo offers to visitors and experts, in the urban landscape of Palermo, natural and architectural heritage shows how Architecture, Art and Decoration coexist in a synergistic experiment.
Design of a Smart Car Park with PV generation and BESS for Grid-on and Grid-off Operation. The SMARTEP Project
2022
The paper presents the design state of a smart car park shelter for electric vehicle in the campus of the University of Palermo. The car park is supplied by the main grid and by a 40 kW photovoltaic system and is equipped with a Li-ion battery storage system with capacity 42 kWh. The hybrid plant is designed in order to operate both in connection with the main grid and in stand-alone mode, supplying, in this case, all car park's loads and providing one recharge to an electric vehicle. Moreover, the energy storage system and, eventually, the battery of one or more cars with V2G technologies, can be managed for providing ancillary services to the grid. In the paper, the design of the system a…
