LA VILLA ROMANA DI POGGIO GRAMIGNANO (LUGNANO IN TEVERINA): NOTIZIE DAGLI SCAVI 2016-2019: MONETE.
Nel territorio amerino sono in corso importanti scavi archeologici, in regime di concessione ministeriale, presso la villa romana di Poggio Gramignano (Lugnano in Teverina): l’équipe internazionale impegnata nelle indagini (David Soren, David Pickel, Roberto Montagnetti, Jordan Wilson, Archer Martin, Matteo Serpetti, Tiziano Gasperoni, Mara Elefante, Francesca Rizzo, Emanuela Spagnoli, Barbara Maurina, Gabriele Soranna, Skyler Jenkins) presenta in anteprima le principali novità delle ultime campagne di scavo (2016-2019), che portano avanti quelle condotte fra 1988 e 1992, illustrando sinteticamente lo stato degli studi sulle varie classi di materiali e sui reperti faunistici. Emanuela Spagnoli presenta i reperti numismatici da contesti di scavo della villa e del cimitero infantile; l'esame del dato monetale si iscrive nel quadro economico e sociale del territorio.

Improvement of Stance Control and Muscle Performance Induced by Focal Muscle Vibration in Young-Elderly Women : a Randomized Controlled Trial
Filippi GM, Brunetti O, Botti FM, Panichi R, Roscini M, Camerota F, Cesari M, Pettorossi VE. Improvement of stance control and muscle performance induced by focal muscle vibration in young-elderly women: a randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the effect of a particular protocol of mechanical vibration, applied focally and repeatedly (repeated muscle vibration [rMV]) on the quadriceps muscles, on stance and lower-extremity muscle power of young-elderly women.
DESIGN:
Double-blind randomized controlled trial; 3-month follow-up after intervention.
SETTING:
Human Physiology Laboratories, University of Perugia, Italy.
PARTICIPANTS:
Sedentary women volunteers (N=60), randomized in 3 groups (mean age +/- SD, 65.3+/-4.2y; range, 60-72).
INTERVENTION:
rMV (100Hz, 300-500microm, in three 10-minute sessions a day for 3 consecutive days) was applied to voluntary contracted quadriceps (vibrated and contracted group) and relaxed quadriceps (vibrated and relaxed group). A third group received placebo stimulation (nonvibrated group).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Area of sway of the center of pressure, vertical jump height, and leg power.
RESULTS:
Twenty-four hours after the end of the complete series of applications, the area of sway of the center of pressure decreased significantly by approximately 20%, vertical jump increased by approximately 55%, and leg power increased by approximately 35%. These effects were maintained for at least 90 days after treatment.
CONCLUSIONS:
rMV is a short-lasting and noninvasive protocol that can significantly and persistently improve muscle performance in sedentary young-elderly women

Utilizzo e Valorizzazione dei Cereali Antichi
In uno scenario di aumento della crescita demografica e della domanda alimentare, il cambiamento climatico influenzerà negativamente la produzione alimentare. Una delle conseguenze più preoccupanti del cambiamento climatico sono gli stress abiotici che influenzeranno l'agricoltura. Si prevede che i raccolti diminuiranno del 17-33% nel prossimo futuro. Una possibile chiave per mitigare questo scenario è la reintroduzione delle varietà di cereali tradizionali. Lo scopo di questo progetto era di studiare la tolleranza allo stress abiotico di varietà di cereali antiche e moderne nelle fasi di germinazione e semina, al fine di valutarne il comportamento ai cambiamenti climatici e anche per sviluppare una strategia per soddisfare le future esigenze alimentari. Lo studio si è concentrato su 7 varietà antiche (Triticum aestivum L. var. Verna, T. durum Desf. var. Senatore Cappelli, "Einkorn" T. monococcum L, "Emmer" T. dicoccum L., T. durum Desf. var. Timilia, Triticum aestivum L. var.Gentil Rosso, Triticum turanicum L. Jakubz., 1947) e una cultivar moderna (T. durum Desf var. Claudio). La metodologia utilizzata è stata principalmente test di laboratorio in vitro, in particolare test di germinazione e test di crescita delle plantule, ma principalmente anche test in campo delle cultivar. Le prove di laboratorio mostrano una maggiore tolleranza allo stress rispetto alle varietà tradizionali rispetto alle varietà moderne. Tuttavia, nelle prove di produttività in campo, è stata osservata una maggiore produttività delle varietà moderne rispetto alle varietà tradizionali. L'elevata tolleranza agli abiotici osservata a Verna, Timilia, Einkorn e Turanicum suggerisce che la reintroduzione di varietà di colture tradizionali può aiutare ad affrontare le future sfide climatiche, economiche e sociali indirizzando la produzione alimentare verso agroecosistemi produttivi, stabili e resilienti riducendo al minimo gli impatti ambientali
Water-Stable Upconverting Coordination Polymer Nanoparticles for Transparent Films and Anticounterfeiting Patterns with Air-Stable Upconversion
1 video. -- Video showing the scanning with the 532 nm Nd:YAG nanoseconds pulsed laser over the VVUC1-CPNs-based spray-coated pattern deposited onto DPA-S-CPNs. The UC emission only appears from the “UC” pattern.Photon upconversion (UC) based on triplet–triplet annihilation is a very promising phenomenon with potential application in several areas, though, due to the intrinsic mechanism, the achievement of diffusion-limited solid materials with air-stable UC is still a challenge. Herein, we report UC coordination polymer nanoparticles (CPNs) combining sensitizer and emitter molecules especially designed with alkyl spacers that promote the amorphous character. Beyond the characteristic constraints of crystalline MOFs, amorphous CPNs facilitate high dye density and flexible ratio tunability. To show the universality of the approach, two types of UC-CPNs are reported, exhibiting highly photostable UC in two different visible spectral regions. Given their nanoscale, narrow size distribution, and good chemical/colloidal stability in water, the CPNs were also successfully printed as anticounterfeiting patterns and used to make highly transparent and photostable films for luminescent solar concentrators, both showing air-stable UC.Peer reviewe

EFFECT OF GENOTYPE ON ESTIMATED INDEXES OF FATTY ACID METABOLISM IN RABBITS
To analyse the effect of rabbit genotype on fatty acid metabolism, 60 weaned rabbits (30 d old,
sex ratio 1:1; 20 New Zealand White, 20 Leprino of Viterbo and 20 rabbits of a Local grey population) were
reared in bicellular standard cages. At 80 d, 10 rabbits per group were selected and slaughtered. The muscle
fatty acid composition and relative indexes of metabolism of the longissmus lumborum of these rabbits were
determined. The New Zealand White and Leprino rabbits exhibited lower percentages of myristic acid and
higher percentages of palmitic acid and palmitoleic acid, and the levels of monounsaturated fatty acids were
significantly higher in these rabbits. The grey-coloured rabbits exhibited the highest values of total n-3 fatty
acids. With respect to fatty acid metabolism, the New Zealand White and Leprino rabbits exhibited higher
thioesterase and Δ9-desaturase indexes and lower elongase and Δ5- Δ6-desaturase indexes. The estimated
Δ5- Δ6-desaturase activity was significantly higher in the Local grey rabbits, suggesting a genetic effect on the
desaturase and elongase mechanisms responsible for the synthesis of long-chain n-3 fatty acids
Numerical Assessment of Interacting Structural Units on the Seismic Damage: A Comparative Analysis with Different Modeling Approaches
The conservation of the historical and artistic heritage is one of the main priorities of Italian and international policy. The great variety of masonry buildings that make up this heritage is characterized by different combinations of materials and construction techniques. Then, several damage scenarios could be observed as a result, requiring appropriate retrofitting interventions. A rather accurate structural behavior analysis, especially for horizontal load conditions, allows for elaborating a correct seismic assessment. Albeit there are various numerical tools available to examine them, each one’s process starts by means of certain assumptions that could not be applied indiscriminately. This paper aims to compare two different types of modeling techniques to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. To achieve this goal, an earthquake-damaged complex in Central Italy was chosen as a case study. The structure was modeled using a finite element (continuous) and a distinct element (discontinuous) method. Both approaches underwent a nonlinear dynamic analysis using the strong motions recorded during the 2016 seismic sequence. The results show that both approaches can evaluate the weak structural points. However, in some cases, the distinct element method appeared more accurate in reproducing the cracks
