Emilio Ghione and the Mask of Za La Mort
No full textThis study aims to examine the cultural impact of Emilio Ghione's Za La Mort films (1914-1924) on Italian culture. These films constitute a significant Italian combination of several early cinema genres and sub-genres, such as the apache film, the traces of which have almost entirely disappeared. More broadly, the changing interpretations of Za La Mort figure allow us to understand wider shifts in Italian and European popular culture.
The first chapter of the study considers the wealth of influences from European popular culture that Emilio Ghione merged into the apache films, such as the apache sub-culture in Paris. The second chapter of the study then reconstructs the Za La Mort filmography, most of which has now been lost, from film viewings and archival documents. The third chapter considers Emilio Ghione's Za La Mort novels and theatrical productions in the years 1922-1930, and Ghione's attempts to make Za La Mort a more Fascist and nationalistic figure. The fourth chapter considers the enduring figure of Za La Mort in Italian popular culture, especially in Raffaele Matarazzo's Fumeria D'Oppio and a 1940's fumetti series. The fifth chapter considers the audience reception of the Za La Mort films from the limited remaining evidence and, positioning the series between the Cinema of Attractions of the 1900s and the Classical Cinema of the mid-1920's, analyses how the Za La Mort films were constructed to please a predominantly working class audience that valued spectacular thrills and great acting performances over narrative consistency and stable characterisation.
This research re-establishes the importance of one of Italian cinema's most important film-makers of the silent period, and his enduring importance as a popular cultural figure in Italy

Alternative producer-consumer relationships: the AgroGeoTrace project and the speciality products virtual roads
No full textThe AgroGeoTrace (AGT) project makes use of Geographical Information Systems and multichannel information technologies to facilitate the access of final consumers to local food speciality products. The project builds a prototype of an informative system designed, first, to help consumers to understand the agronomic and technological characteristics that make the targeted products special ones, and, second, to precisely and easily locate the sites (farms and oil mills) where they can buy them. The information made available through the project is intended to the symbolic relocalization of the regional products, hence to promote them and to create added value. The final outcomes of the project are the virtual maps of on-farm shops made available on Digital television (channel In+), PDAs and mobile phones.food speciality products, short agro-food chains, Geographical Information Systems, Agribusiness,

CACIOCAVALLO DI BRUNA E DI FRISONA: ANDAMENTO DELLA PROTEOLISI NEL CORSO DELLA MATURAZIONE
No full textIl caciocavallo è un formaggio a pasta filata tipico dell’Italia meriodionale. Sul caciocavallo ottenuto da latte di Bruna e Frisona è stato studiato l’andamento della proteolisi nel corso della maturazione. In un allevamento intensivo (oltre 350 capi) della Basilicata, dopo opportuna valutazione dei soggetti, distintamente per TG, sono stati formati gruppi omogenei relativi a quattro stadi di lattazione: 0-50 d; 51-100 d; 101-190 d; 191-280 d; il latte di massa di ciascun gruppo (4-5 soggetti) è stato trasformato in caciocavallo (pezzature di ~ 1.5 kg) e destinato a diversa stagionatura: 0, 30, 60, 90 e 150 d. Su ciascun campione, oltre alla composizione chimica, è stata definita la composizione caseinica (αs1-Cn, β-Cn e para-κ-Cn) con elettroforesi IEF. Lo studio della proteolisi è stato valutato con l’indice di maturazione (Nsol pH4.6/Ntot*100) e la degradazione delle frazioni αs1-Cn, β-Cn e para-κ-Cn mediante l’analisi densitometrica su profilo elettroforetico. I risultati hanno evidenziato l’andamento crescente dell’indice di maturazione per entrambi i TG, anche se il caciocavallo ottenuto da latte di Bruna presenta una maggiore solubilizzazione della caseina durante la stagionatura. Dall’analisi elettroforetica si rileva una diversa proteolisi delle frazioni caseiniche: l’αs1-Cn risulta più sensibile all’attacco degli enzimi proteolitici con una riduzione di circa l’80% nel periodo considerato; la degradazione della β-Cn risulta meno spinta, tanto che la riduzione è di circa il 60%; la para-κ-Cn è la meno degradata, con una perdita che si aggira intorno al 50%

<p>Project Info:<br>This dataset reports the number of seeds per fruit of Heliconia acuminata (Heliconiaceae) growing along trails in the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project in Manaus. All Heliconia species produce fruits with a maximum of three seeds. These data were used to report the average number of seeds produced per fruit and in demographic models of H. acuminata demography.

<p>Description: This file describes the number of seeds in each fruit collected from different plants at the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project.</p>
<p>Methods: Plants were marked along trails at the BDFFP?s Reserve 1501 in 2008. Additional fruits were collected from unmarked plants in different BDFFP locations. Fruits were collected and individually scrubbed with a strainer to clean seeds.</p>
<p>Column Headings:<br>Plant_no: The temporary unique number used to identify plants during the collection. Some fruits were collected from unmarked plants that were encountered along trails while doing field work in Reserve 1501 or other locations; these are indicated with the location (e.g., Matrix_Colosso) where they were collected. These are not necessarily from the sample plant, so they should not be used in estimates of total fruit or seed set per plant ? only those with unique ID numbers.<br>No_of_seeds: Number of seeds in the fruit<br>Date_Collected: date the fruit was collected</p>
