Plant resources of tropical Africa. Prota 7(2) : timbers 2
No full textPrésentation de l'éditeur : PROTA 7 deals with the timbers of Tropical Africa. Because the group is very large, it has been subdivided into 2 volumes. In PROTA 7(1) 511 "primary use" timbers, belonging to a selection of 25 botanical families, were described in 280 review articles (2008). This volume, PROTA 7(2) describes 693 "primary use" timbers in 314 review articles. All articles are illustrated with a geographic distribution map and many with a line drawing of the habit. The accompanying CD-Rom allows for easy searching through the texts and contains in addition numerous photographs (a.o. on wood anatomy
Plant resources of tropical Africa. Prota 7(1) : Timbers
No full textPROTA 7 deals with the timber trees of Tropical Africa. PROTA's database, SPECIESLIST presents 1751 species used as such. 907 among them are primary use timbers, qualifying for treatment in PROTA 7, which is subdivided into 2 volumes. PROTA 7(1) describes 511 species belonging to a selection of 25 botanical families. They are described in 280 review articles, implying that 231 species are briefly mentioned and described in the articles of more important related species; they have no separate article due to lack of informatio
Ressources végétales de l'Afrique tropicale. Prota 7(2) : bois d'oeuvre 2
No full textPrésentation de l'éditeur : PROTA 7 porte sur les arbres à bois d'oeuvre de l'Afrique tropicale. La base de données PROTA "SPECIELIST" répertorie 2352 espèces utilisées comme telles. 1204 parmi elles sont des bois d'oeuvre dont c'est l'usage primaire, et seules ces espèces ont été retenues pour le volume 7, qui est divisé en 2 tomes. PROTA 7 (1) a décrit 511 espèces appartenant à une sélection de 25 familles botaniques. Les 693 autres espèces dont l'usage primaire est le bois d'oeuvre sont traitées dans PROTA 7 (2), dans laquelle aussi les 1148 plantes qui sont listées comme "Bois d'oeuvre ayant un autre usage primaire" et sont renvoyées à d'autres volumes de l'encyclopédie. Dans PROTA 7 (2), les 693 bois d'oeuvre retenus sont décrits au sein de 314 articles de synthèse, ce qui implique que 379 espèces ne sont que mentionnées et brièvement décrites dans les articles sur les espèces apparentées plus importantes ; elles ne font pas l'objet d'un article séparé par manque de donnée
Plantes africaines prometteuses
No full textPréparé à l’occasion du 10e anniversaire de PROTA, cet ouvrage rassemble 25 espèces végétales considérées comme prometteuses en termes de valorisation et de débouchés commerciaux. Le potentiel de trois de ces espèces (la roselle, le sorgho et le caya blanc) a été déterminé lors de projets pilotes réalisés en collaboration avec des organisations de terrain. Le livre témoigne de la nécessité de mener des études analogues sur d’autres espèces
Updated list of species and commodity grouping / Liste actualisée des espèces et de leurs groupes d'usage
No full textThe 8,681 species covered in this bilingual book constitute a checklist of plant resources in tropical Africa. The first part lists the species by scientific name, family and primary use (based on the commodity group to which the species has been assigned). The second part arranges the species according to commodity group, family and secondary uses. This edition replaces PROTA’s Basic list of species, published in 2002.
Avec le recensement de 8 681 espèces, cet ouvrage dresse un véritable inventaire des ressources végétales de l’Afrique tropicale. Alors que la première partie propose un ordonnancement des espèces par nom scientifique, nom de famille et usage primaire (en fonction du groupe d’usage auquel l’espèce a été affectée), la deuxième partie présente un classement par groupe d’usage, par famille et par usage secondaire. Cette édition remplace la Liste de base des espèces de PROTA publiée en 2002
PROGRAMA DE TECNOLOGIA ASSISTIVA (PROTA) NA UTFPR
No full textO presente trabalho apresenta ações institucionais de apoio ao deficiente visual idealizadas pelo “Programa de Tecnologia Assistiva” (PROTA) no Câmpus Curitiba da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR). A metodologia é de natureza qualitativa-descritiva, e bibliográfica-documental. Em 1982, a abrangência do ensino técnico estendeu sua missão para a comunidade externa oferecendo a produção e manutenção de equipamentos e materiais utilizados por Pessoas com Necessidades Específicas (PNE’s). Houve a produção de bengalas articuláveis para pessoas com deficiência visual, quando na cidade não havia uma estrutura dedicada para tal finalidade. Nomeou-se este movimento dinâmico e interativo de empreendedorismo social. No decorrer dos anos o PROTA assumiu a responsabilidade da prestação de serviços especializados para a comunidade interna e externa de PNE’s. Em especial, ele realiza a confecção e a manutenção de bengalas para um público de baixo poder aquisitivo, e a confecção é feita por alunos estagiários, professores e servidores
Diari di un corpo. Materiali da un laboratorio di didattica medica
No full textIl volume riporta, in forma di racconto a più voci, il lavoro svolto nell'a.a. 2016-2017 nell'ambito del progetto di sperimentazione pedagogica 'La Strategia del silenzio', centrato su un laboratorio di improvvisazione teatrale, che ha come obiettivo formativo lo sviluppo di competenze relazionali per la comunicazione fra medico e paziente. Il laboratorio è condotto dai due primi autori con gli studenti di Medicina dell’Università degli Studi della Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, dall’anno accademico 2013-14. Dal momento che, per quanto è possibile sapere, non esistono esperienze simili, almeno in Italia, questo volume ha anche l’ambizione di disvelare gli strumenti di lavoro e i procedimenti messi in gioco, di diventare cioè un “manuale” che utilizza la forma del racconto per narrare i propositi, i successi, i fallimenti, le difficoltà, le contingenze, che ogni esperienza pedagogica si trova ad affrontare.
ProtA-Cwc24p co-immunoprecipitates snRNAs.
No full text<p>RT-qPCR analysis of co-IP samples from ProtA and ProtA-Cwc24p using specific primers for the snRNAs. Relative amounts of co-immunoprecipitated RNA were calculated by comparing A-Cwc24p with ProtA. To quantify the results, the ΔΔCt method was used and the y-axis shows the ratio between ProtA-Cwc24 and ProtA. Standard error bars were calculated from the results of triplicates.</p

Case study: Seismic upgrade of a masonry bell tower by GFRP ties
No full textIn many cases masonry buildings present structural problems related to development of local mechanisms under seismic
actions. The solution to this weakness has to be chosen taking into account several aspects if the construction is ancient and is gifted of
monumental significance. In this paper the case of the Bell Tower of Santa Maria del Carmine Napoli, Italy is discussed; the construction
has been deeply examined by the writers performing experimental inquires in situ and theoretical analysis with three-dimensional models.
While the results obtained in the hypothesis of compact behavior of the structure have pointed out a low risk condition under seismic
actions, in contrast the study of local out-of-plane mechanisms, dealt with in detail in this paper, have evidenced an unsafe situation. To
avoid such mechanisms, connective systems with tie rods made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer laminates have been designed to be
inserted where local verifications are not satisfied. Design, application, and monitoring procedures of this innovative intervention are
discussed in detail herein
