New insights to assess the consolidation of stone materials used in built heritage: the case study of ancient graffiti (Tituli Picti) in the archaeol…

2020

AbstractTituli Picti are an ancient form of urban graffiti very common in the archaeological site of Pompeii (Naples, South—Italy). They are generally made of red pigments applied on walls of Campanian ignimbrite. This paper deals with a scientific investigation aimed to their conservation. This is a challenging task since it requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes restorers, archaeologists and conservation scientists. The study has provided suggestions on the proper way to conserve Tituli Picti over time. In the present work, several specimens of Campanian ignimbrite were painted with red earth pigment; lime and Arabic gum have been used as binders as well. Such painted stones …

Abstract. This paper describes the background, instrumentation, goals, and the regional influences on the HUMPPA-COPEC intensive field measurement campaign, conducted at the Boreal forest research station SMEAR II (Station for Measuring Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relation) in Hyytiälä, Finland from 12 July–12 August 2010. The prevailing meteorological conditions during the campaign are examined and contrasted with those of the past six years. Back trajectory analyses show that meteorological conditions at the site in 2010 were characterized by a higher proportion of southerly flow than in the other years studied. As a result the summer of 2010 was anomalously warm and high in ozone making the cam…

Diurnal and seasonal variation of monoterpene and sesquiterpene emissions from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)

2006

Abstract Recent research pointed out the question of missing OH reactivity in a forest system and the question for unknown highly reactive biogenic emissions. In this study we show that coniferous forests are an important source of highly reactive hydrocarbons, the sesquiterpenes. We investigated the seasonality of terpene emissions from Scots pine to work out influences on atmospheric chemistry in different seasons for both mono- and sesquiterpenes. Especially sesquiterpenes (C15) change dramatically in their contribution to the terpene emissions of Scots pine. Fourteen sesquiterpenes and oxygenated compounds were found in the emissions. In spring, the pattern was most complex with all 14 …

Discotic Twin and Triple Molecules with Charge-Transfer Interactions in Langmuir−Blodgett Films

1996

X-ray and atomic force microscopy observations reveal features of the surface morphology of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films from discotic donor-acceptor molecules with strong core-to-core interactions caused by a charge-transfer (CT) complexation. The compounds are designed to be twin and triple molecules composed of chemically connected donor (triphenylene) and acceptor (trinitrofluorenone) fragments which display liquid crystalline structure in the bulk state. The LB films from these compounds possess edge-on orientation of molecules within monolayers with a smooth surface on a submicron scale but with substantial macroscopic imperfections. These imperfections are represented by the micron s…

Spatial Distribution of Ethylene Production by Individual Needles Along a Shoot ofPinus sylvestrisL.: Relationship with Peroxidase Activity

1998

Spatial distribution of ethylene production by individual current year needles and the relationship with peroxidase activity was studied along a shoot of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestrisL.). Much variation in ethylene production between and within individual seedlings was found. There was a significant difference in mean intensity of ethylene production between orthostichies within individual seedlings. The capacity of individual needles to convert 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene did not correlate with the basal rate of ethylene production. Mean ethylene production intensity by orthostichies correlated positively with mean peroxidase activity. A positive correlation betw…

Beierwaltes nella corrente dell'eriugenismo: la duplex theoria e lo statuto trascendentale della manifestazione

2007

L'articolo ricostruisce e discute il nucleo tematico dell'interpretazione del platonismo medievale elaborata da Beierwaltes e segnatamente della funzione centrale in esso del pensiero dell'Eriugena, mostrandone l'operatività nei successivi sviluppi della dialettica della contrazione.

Blackwood's Magazine - "Nodier's Promenade"

2013

We have translated and annotated an extended review from "Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine" reporting on the publication, in English translation, of "Promenade de Dieppe aux montagnes d'Écosse" by Charles Nodier ("Promenade from Dieppe to the Mountains of Scotland", Edinburg, Blackwood, London, Cadell, 1822). The reference of the original article is as follows: "Nodier's Promenade", Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine", march 1822, vol. XI (January - June 1822).

Segmentando el mercado de internautas atendiendo a su nivel de afinidad: (I)fuerte, (II)medio y (III)débil

2017

Esta investigación pretende confrontar el Marketing con Causa con el Marketing de Afinidad. Para ello se descompone la audiencia de una campaña de Marketing con Causa viral en segmentos de internautas con distinto nivel de afinidad: i) fuerte (con experiencia previa de marca y de causa); ii) medio (con experiencia previa o de marca o de causa); iii) débil (sin experiencia previa ni de marca ni de causa). El objetivo es justificar la utilidad de este criterio como vía para optimizar el resultado de la comunicación segmentada. Con dicho fin, se ha estudiado un caso real planteado de forma experimental midiendo las actitudes de una muestra de 276 internautas antes y después de visualizar un sp…
