Read Part One here. In this installment, General Zinni shares his experiences with wargames, Desert Crossing and Millennium Challenge 2002 in particular, and discusses how the differing objectives of service chiefs and combatant commanders manifest in wargames. Gen Zinni then touches on the U.S. military’s overreliance on technology and draws parallels from the business world to inform approaches to great power competition
Complete and regioselective deacetylation of peracetylated uridines using a lipase
No full textLipase-catalysed alcoholysis and hydrolysis of 2',3',5-tri-O- acetyluridine (1a) and 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-2'-C-methyluridine (1b) were studied. Conditions for full and regioselective deacetylation of 1a and 1b are shown in the present work. New compound 2',3'-di-O-acetyl-2'-C- methyluridine (3b) was prepared by regioselective lipase-catalysed deacetylation.Fil: Iglesias, Luis Emilio.

Premio "Opera prima" della Società italiana per lo studio della storia contemporanea (Sissco)
No full textMotivazione: La costruzione di rappresentazioni e di interpretazioni del fascismo, della formazione di un immaginario collettivo e di un senso comune sul regime è stato affrontato dall’autore attraverso la lente del cinema in età repubblicana in un lungo arco di tempo (dal 1945 al 2000). L’opera, originale e di grande interesse, ha alla base una documentazione di oltre 140 pellicole di autori noti e meno noti, cimentatisi con soggetti, narrazioni e personaggi ambientati nel periodo fascista. Colpisce la particolare attenzione e capacità di legare diversi fili tra loro: gli stili, la critica e il mercato cinematografico, il rapporto tra il governo e le case di produzione, le più generali fasi della politica nazionale, le tesi storiografiche sul periodo fascista, la relazione tra narrazione filmica e storia. L’analisi dell’autore va molto al di là di un mero esame sull’attendibilità e sulla fedeltà delle ricostruzioni e fissa invece il proprio focus sulle ragioni delle diverse proposte di lettura del regime alla luce del rapporto tra la necessaria reinterpretazione del passato e le sensibilità del presente, tra memoria e uso politico-culturale della storia, tra affresco storico e costruzioni interpretative. Zinni non manca di sottolineare, comunque, anche i luoghi comuni ricorrenti e le rappresentazioni macchiettistiche del regime: essi non vengono indicati con la matita rossa per coglierne errori e forzature, piuttosto confluiscono nella generale ricostruzione dell’autore sul senso e sulle ragioni di una rivisitazione del passato. Molto attento alle periodizzazioni delle prevalenti proposte cinematografiche, l’autore offre così una nuova prospettiva dell’opinione che molti italiani si sono fatti in relazione a un periodo storico attraverso un mezzo di comunicazione di ampia e rilevante portata
Postembryonic development in pseudoscorpions: allometry in Geogarypus italicus (Pseudoscorpiones: Geogarypidae)
No full textPseudoscorpions are arachnids featuring three nymphal instars before reaching the adult age. Instars can be
mostly recognized based on the number of trichobothria which lie along the chelal axis: as the individual grows, further
trichobothria are added. The study of the post-embryonic growth based on trichobothria position has been the most widely
used approach. However, other body parts can be subjected to particular growth patterns that need to be explored to fully
understand post-embryonic development processes. Rigorous numerical approaches that allow meaningful statistical
inference within growth regressions are now available. The recently described Mediterranean species Geogarypus italicus
Gardini, Galli & Zinni, 2017 gave the authors the chance to review studies carried out in the past with the modern
statistical approach mentioned above. Results confirm the main hypothesis about the growth process of the chelal axis but
showed some differences that may be related to taxonomical aspects. Moreover, the study of body allometry during postembryonic
growth showed that not all body parts undergo the same trend from protonymphs to males, on one side, and to
females, on the other. Finally, the study of proportions between body parts through the analysis of ratios between their
linear measurements pointed out a marked sexual dimorphism of pedipalps in spite of similar sizes and proportions of
other body regions. The analysis led us to think that more interesting information could come from applying this approach
to multispecies studies

No full textAspidosiphon (Akrikos) cf. zinni Cutler Aspidosiphon zinni Cutler, 1969: 209 –211. Type locality: East Coast of the U.S., 39.43 ° N, 70.6 ° W, 2496 m. Remarks: The two 5 mm transparent thin worms have continuous longitudinal musculature and a pale, ungrooved anal shield made up of fine uniform granular units. The introvert is shorter than the trunk and has scattered, small, pale hooks and no observable tentacles. Distribution: Common in the northern Atlantic Ocean at depths of 1100–4400 m, plus two records from around 9 ° S off the Congo River. In the Indian Ocean there is one report from the Mozambique Channel and one from the Reunion Islands. The worms frequently live in arenaceous foraminiferan tests. The present specimens are thousands of kilometres from any previously known populations of A. zinni. Since they are very small deepwater animals it is conceivable that the species has been overlooked by previous collectors Before accepting the present material as unequivocally this species, we prefer to have additional specimens for confirmation.Published as part of Cutler, Edward B., Schulze, Anja & Dean, Harlan K., 2004, Zealand species, pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 525 on page 15, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15800
