Celtae, Galli(ci), Gallaeci: A New Etymology
No full textThe author consider the ethnonyms Gallaeci/Callaecimì, Galli/Gallici and Celtae as derived from < *Gallàici < *Galdàici < *Galtàici < *GALÀTAI, with the meaning of 'the peoples of the stones' (cp. Irish gall ‘stone’; Old Irish gallán 'standing stone’; Middle
Welsh gal ‘stone’, rock’; Scottish Gaelic gailleichan ‘stone’; Breton kals, kailhoù ‘stone, rock’; Manx galagh ‘stone’; Gaulish gall(o)
Concerning the motivation behind this etymology, the author interpretes it as a reference to the Galician, Portuguese (and later Gaulish) peoples as those identified with the utmost megaliths’ builders
Combinatorial and robust optimisation models and algorithms for railway applications
No full textThe following is a summary of the author’s Ph.D. thesis supervised by Alberto Caprara and Paolo Toth and defended on April 16, 2009 at the Università di Bologna. The thesis is written in English and is available from the author upon request. Railway systems represent a challenging area for operations research, especially when highly-complex and data-intensive applications, such as large-scale transportation networks, are at stake. One of the main issues concerns imperfect information. The classic notion of RobustOptimisation, as a way to represent and handle mathematically systems with not precisely known data, did not prove to be successfully applicable in the railway setting. For this reason a new paradigm has been defined recently in Liebchen et al. (2007): Recoverable robustness. Here we present our research on recoverable robust optimisation models for two important railway problems: Train platforming and Rolling stock planning
Data for iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics analysis of different biotypes in Echinochloa crus-galli with multi-herbicide treatment
No full textAbstractBarnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) is one of the most troublesome herbicide-resistant weeds worldwide that interferes with rice growth and rice yield. Here we provide the data from a comparative proteomic analysis of leaves in resistant (R) and susceptible (S) biotypes of Echinochloa crus-galli both with and without multi-herbicide treatment in two independent biological experiments using iTRAQ. The distribution of length and number of peptides, mass and sequence coverage of proteins were presented, and the repeatability of the replicates was analyzed. 1342 differential accumulated proteins were identified from 2248 unique peptides by searching uniprot database and data analysis. These results are associated with the research article "Quantitative proteomics reveals ecological fitness cost of multi-herbicide resistant barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli L.)" (X. Yang, Z. Zhang, T. Gu, M. Dong, Q. Peng, L. Bai, Y Li, 2017) [1]
Experimental Characterization and Numerical Investigation on the Azzone Visconti Bridge in Lecco (Italy)
No full textAbstractThe paper presents the results of a numerical investigation on the Azzone Visconti Bridge in Lecco (Italy). Starting from the historical data and from an extensive mechanical characterization of both the soil constituting the riverbed and of the masonry constituting the piers, the aim of the analyses is to predict the behaviour of the structure under the testing loading scheme prescribed by the current Italian Code. A finite element structural model has been conceived, and three different models describing the mechanical behaviour of the foundation have been implemented. Limited differences are observed in terms of absolute vertical settlement of the bridge, but important effects are highlighted in terms of stress redistribution within the piers
Diagnosing ACCase Inhibitor– Cyhalofop-butyl Resistance in Echinochloa crus-galli at Various Growth Stages
No full textCyhalofop-butyl-resistant Echinochloa crus-galli has been wide-spreading, so rapid diagnosis of herbicide resistance in E. crus-galli at various growth stages is crucial for timely and effective management of herbicide resistant E. crus-galli throughout the season. This study was thus conducted to diagnose cyhalofop-butyl resistance in E. crus-galli at various stages of growth using rapid diagnostic test methods. Growth pouch, trimmed seedling and stem node tests were conducted on E. crus-galli at seed germination, juvenile and heading stages, respectively and the diagnostic results were then compared with the conventional whole plant test. All rapid diagnostic tests discriminated resistant and susceptible biotypes on the basis of R/S ratios (the ratio of GR50 values of resistant and susceptible biotypes) within 7 days after herbicide treatment (DAT). The statistical agreement in R/S ratios between the rapid diagnostic tests (R/S ratios, 2.0-4.8) and the whole plant test (R/S ratio, 3.6) demonstrated that the rapid diagnostic tests could be reliably applied to diagnose cyhalofop-butyl resistance in E. crus-galli at various stages of growth with significant time and cost savings compared to conventional whole plant test. In addition, the presented diagnostic results coupled with discrimination of herbicide resistant weeds in previous studies suggest that the rapid diagnostic tests are capable of detecting herbicide resistance regardless of herbicide in many different weed species.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

Shared leadership and key innovation indicators in six sigma projects
No full textThis research establishes the relationship(s) that shared leadership has with two performance metrics in Six Sigma healthcare teams: the perceived effectiveness of a team completing assigned project deliverables and satisfying customer requirements. Another primary goal is to comprehend additional factors affecting the three analyzed variables. The study found that the degree of shared leadership displayed at any Six Sigma project phase is dependent on the deliverables complexity and degree of change management complexity. Throughout this research, the role of shared leadership cannot be stressed enough. This variable yield influence and relationships with several factors, including change management and decision-making. In turn, they impact a team's environment and ability to effectively complete a project. Understanding the impact and relationship(s) that shared leadership has on quality improvement projects can provide an organization with several benefits, such as improved ability to complete projects efficiently and with quality. Finally, this study builds practical knowledge by outlining implications to professionals, managers, and teams for decision-making, change management, leadership development, Six Sigma training, and external coaching
The Ritualized Bodies of Cybele's Galli and the Methodological Problem of the Plurality of Explanations
No full textThe explanandum in this article is the self-castration of Cybele's Galli. The explanans is the various theories that have been put forward to elucidate this phenomenon. The author begins by sketching out the complicated religio-historical scene for this ritual, then introduces the plurality of theories concerning Galli's ritual self-castration, so that the intellectual dilemma of evaluation and preference is obvious; which one of the theories is decisive? Are they necessary or sufficient? Do they compete or cooperate? The aim of this article is also to make a critical methodological evaluation of the use of psychological determinants in religio-historical studies of the self-castration of the Galli in the cult of Cybele and Attis
