Oscillum da Gela
2017
Scheda di un'iscrizione, contenuta in una raccolta destinata sia a studiosi di epigrafia sia a studenti che seguono corsi di Epigrafia greca. L'iscrizione si trova incisa su un peso da telaio degli inizi del III sec. a.C., rinvenuto a Gela, e reca una formula apotropaica in cui viene evocato Eracle come protettore della casa dove si usava questo strumento legato alla sfera domestica.
Vides faktoru loma epigeisko posmkāju faunas izplatībā Glāžupes piekrastē
2016
Maģistra darba ietvaros ir veikts pētījums un analizēti dati par epigeiskās posmkāju faunas izplatību Glāžupes piekrastes biotopos 2012. un 2014. gadā. Pētījums tika veikts piecos dažādos biotopos Glāžupes piekrastē. Kopumā tika ievākti paraugi no 373 augsnes lamatām, kuri pēc tam tika sadalīti pa taksonomiskajām grupām un noteikts īpatņu skaits. Darbā apskatīta epigeiskās posmkāju faunas bioliģija un ekoloģija, pētījuma teritorijā ietvertie biotopi un vides faktoru ietekme uz tiem. Pētījumā iegūtajiem datiem veikta matemātiskā apstrāde un analīze. Darbs sastāv no teorētiskās un praktiskās daļas aprakstiem. Darbā ir 38 attēli.
INSTITUTIONAL PROBLEMS OF PIG CARCASS CLASSIFICATION SECTOR IN ROMANIA
2015
The paper deals with the institutional problems faced by animal carcass classifying operators while implementing the SEUROP classification system in Romania. The research was performed in March 2015 by means of in-depth interviews with different economical operators in the pig-carcass classification sector. The main findings that need solutions in the next future are the following: still poor understanding of the benefits of the carcass classification activity by some direct beneficiaries, the need for a consolidation in current regulation, the need for a methodological framework for the uniform application of the law and a few external factors that can not be controlled by carcasses classi…
PIG CARCASS CLASSIFICATION IN ROMANIA: A DISSECTION TRIAL FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE “FAT-O-MEAT’ER” AND OF THE “OPTIGRADE-PRO”EQUIPMENT
2014
The objective of this study was to obtain new regression formulas for optical equipment Fat-O-Meat’er and OptiGrade-PRO in pig carcass classification in Romania. The estimation of lean mean content in pig carcasses by means of SEUROP system and following fair payment based on the weight and composition of the carcass pigs in the main objective of classification. Dissection of four main cuts (shoulder, loin, ham, belly) of pig carcasses (n = 145) were performed. The measurement of backfat and muscle depths using probes were taken from the carcasses within 45 min. after slaughter of pigs. Lean meat content estimated using different methods and determined from dissections was equal (56,3 % ). …
Cold Exposure Affects Lipid Metabolism, Fatty Acids Composition and Transcription in Pig Skeletal Muscle
2021
Cold exposure promotes glucose oxidation and modulates the lipid metabolism in adipose tissue, but it is still not fully clear whether cold exposure could affect meat quality and fatty acid metabolism in skeletal muscle of pig in vivo. Here, we kept finishing pigs under cold or room temperature overnight and determined the effects of cold exposure on meat quality, fatty acids composition and transcriptional changes in skeletal muscle of pigs. We found that cold exposure significantly reduced the meat colour24 h and pH24 h, without affecting carcass characteristics and other meat quality traits. Considerable changes were found in the proportions of individual fatty acids and the total conten…
Estudios estratégicos para la lucha contra la fascioliasis humana a nivel mundial = Strategic studies for the fight against de human fascioliasis wor…
2013
Fascioliasis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica. Emergence of human fascioliasis prompted a worldwide control initiative including a pilot study in several countries. Given the necessity to characterize the fasciolid populations involved, the overall aim of the present research is, first, the phenotypic characterization of faciolid adults and eggs implicated in human endemic areas, where this initiative has been implemented, through a computer image analysis system (CIAS) applied on the basis of standardized measurements. Second, new immunological techniques and their potential use as immunological diagnostic tests in those areas are evaluated. The …
The management of crop-livestock systems at a territory level: the example of grain legume crops and of monogastric livestock in Burgundy, France
2012
Although cereals and oil seed crops are very developed in Burgundy, the area of grain legumes cultivation is small. Concerning monogastric livestock, the region is characterised by a medium size poultry production focussed on markets under quality and origin signs (SIQO) and a relatively small pig production. Although a tendency of co-location of these productions can be observed (at territory and farm scales) and some animals consume locally-produced proteins, there is no strong functional link between these crops and animal activities. This situation is confirmed by the fact that a significant proportion of produced grain legumes are exported by Burgundy, while large quantities of soybean…
Tecniche spettroscopiche integrate per lo studio di pigmenti storici
2011
Tra le tecniche spettroscopiche per lo studio dei pigmenti storici, la fluorescenza a raggi X (XRF) e la spettroscopia mediante ablazione laser (LIBS) risultano complementari per le informazioni fornite in termini composizionali e di spessori indagati. A differenza dell'analisi XRF, la LIBS permette l'identificazione degli elementi chimici a basso Z e, attraverso impulsi laser consecutivi, consente di ricostruire la stratigrafia caratteristica del campione. Sono state condotte analisi spettroscopiche su frammenti di pitture murali provenienti da diversi siti e su pigmenti in polvere. I risultati hanno permesso di valutare le potenzialità, in campo archeometrico, della tecnica LIBS rispetto …

MATERIALS AND ARTISTIC TECHNIQUES OF THE FLEMISH WOODEN ALTAR FROM DEPOSITS OF ABATELLIS PALACE MUSEUM (PALERMO, ITALY)
2022
In the frame of the restoration intervention on a 16th century wooden altar performed by the experts of the Gallery of Art for the Sicilian Region ‘Palazzo Abatellis’, a deep scientific investigation of the artwork has been made by a scientific team in order to individuate the constitutive materials and techniques. The outcomes from the multi-analytical analyses supported the scheduling and monitoring of the conservation treatments and revealed the pictorial materials and underdrawing techniques typical of the artistic production for this typology of work of art widespread between the 15th and 16th centuries in central and northern Europe.
