Last Interglacial Iberian Neandertals as fisher-hunter-gatherers.
2020
Fruits of the sea The origins of marine resource consumption by humans have been much debated. Zilhão et al. present evidence that, in Atlantic Iberia's coastal settings, Middle Paleolithic Neanderthals exploited marine resources at a scale on par with the modern human–associated Middle Stone Age of southern Africa (see the Perspective by Will). Excavations at the Figueira Brava site on Portugal's Atlantic coast reveal shell middens rich in the remains of mollusks, crabs, and fish, as well as terrestrial food items. Familiarity with the sea and its resources may thus have been widespread for residents there in the Middle Paleolithic. The Figueira Brava Neanderthals also exploited stone pine…
Ethnobotany of the Aegadian Islands: safeguarding biocultural refugia in the Mediterranean
2021
Abstract Background The Aegadian Islands are located west of Trapani, Sicily. Once the site of bountiful tuna fisheries and fruit orchards (plums, peaches, apricots), grapevines, prickly pears, and grains, the local economy is now based on tourism, and many traditional agricultural and maritime practices have been abandoned. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the state of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) concerning the use of wild and cultivated plants and fungi for human health, food, maritime, and agricultural purposes on the islands of Levanzo, Favignana, and Marettimo and compare present-day practices with those documented in the past. Methods In-depth semi-structured interviews …
Behavior-modifying and insecticidal effects of plant extracts on adults of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera Tephritidae)
2018
The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata is a major pest of fruit orchards worldwide. In order to develop control methods based on natural products, particularly required in organic farming, a laboratory study was carried out to evaluate the response of adults to leaf extracts from four plant species: Ruta graveolens, Eriobotrya japonica, Rubus ulmifolius, and Ficus carica. Air-dried leaf powders were subjected to an ethanolic cold extraction. Chemical composition was assessed by GC/MS analysis. Extracts were tested in laboratory bioassays to assess the electroantennographic (EAG) response, attraction/repellence toward ovipositing females, and induced mortality toward adults. Among th…
Caracterización genética y funcional de la familia 3-Fosfoglicerato Deshidrogenasa (PGDH) de Arabidopsis thaliana
2013
El metabolismo primario de las plantas es un proceso complejo, en el que las vías que participan deben estar perfectamente coordinadas e integradas con el fin de lograr el desarrollo adecuado de las plantas y su aclimatación al medio ambiente. Un ejemplo de tal complejidad es la biosíntesis del aminoácido L- serina, que se lleva a cabo en al menos dos orgánulos diferentes y por rutas distintas. A pesar del papel crucial de la serina en las plantas, no se conoce cuál es la importancia biológica de la coexistencia de varias rutas biosintéticas; tampoco se conoce cómo interactúan estas rutas para mantener la homeostasis de dicho aminoácido en las células. Se han descrito tres rutas diferentes …
Relationship between the acid and limonin content of Washington Navel orange juices
1985
Juice samples of Washington Navel oranges from three groves were analysed for limonin, °Brix and acid during several seasons. A strong correlation between limonin and acid content has been found.

Brutalismo: 4 taglie
2007
Limitandosi a vedere questo ampio argomento solo in relazione all’opera di Artigas, si propone di definire la nozione di Brutalismo in 4 diverse taglie. Il cliché storiografico ci propone usualmente una taglia ridotta (small) che vede il brutalismo come un “movimento omogeneo internazionale connotato dall’uso del cemento armato a faccia vista”. Diversi apporti recenti o tentativi di riscontro effettuati personalmente ci inducono ad utilizzare quantomeno una definizione più critica e problematica (medium) dove atteggiamenti, tendenze e azioni sono spesso anche contaddittori. Le reali adesioni al movimento londinese, il ruolo dei fotografi, i rapporti tra brasiliani ed europei sono in questo …
Televīzijas reklāmas ētika: vardarbības un brutalitātes manifestācijas televīzijas reklāmās analīze
2017
Bakalaura darba nosaukums „Televīzijas reklāmas ētika: vardarbības un brutalitātes manifestācijas televīzijas reklāmās analīze”. Par pētījuma objektu izvēlētas divas sociālās reklāmas kampaņas: 1) Valsts bērnu tiesību aizsardzības inspekcijas (VBTAI) kampaņa "Pārtrauc klusēšanu!" un 2) Ceļu Satiksmes Drošības Direkcijas (CSDD) reklāma „Pierādi sevi citur nevis uz ceļa” audiovizuālā satura rullīši. Darbā izvirzītais mērķis ir noskaidrot abu reklāmas kampaņu audiovizuālo vēstījumu, apskatot izmantotos un neaizmantotos vardarbības un brutalitātes semiotiskos kodus, kā arī noskaidrot pētījumā iesaistīto cilvēku reakciju uz abām reklāmas kampaņām. Pētījumā apskatītas teorijas par reklāmas ētiku …
Responses of citrus plants to ozone: leaf biochemistry, antioxidant mechanisms and lipid peroxidation.
2006
The effects of ozone upon 3-year-old trees of Clementina mandarin (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan.) cv. Marisol exposed for 12 months to ambient (10 nl l(-1)) and high (30 and 65 nl l(-1)) concentrations in open top chambers (OTCs) were investigated. The data showed that in leaves, ozone reduced total chlorophylls, carotenoid and carbohydrate concentration. and increased 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content and ethylene production. In treated plants, the ascorbate leaf pool was decreased, while lipid peroxidation and Solute leakaGe were significantly higher than in ozone-free controls. The data indicated that ozone triggered protective mechanisms against oxidative stress in c…
