Mediologie decameroniane. Boccaccio e le origini dello spazio letterario moderno = Mediology of Decameron: Boccaccio and the origins of the modern literary space
No full textHow to read a classic of literature such as the Decameron through a mediological approach? According to a first reflection on the general structure of the work, the author investigates the reasons making the text a decisive moment of rupture and innovation in the history of communication and culture. Main issues concern: Firstly, the medium's invention we are used to calling "literature", through the abandonment of the late medieval forms of written textuality. Significant changes in the medium's structure are related with the silent reading spread, and with the new social life complexity in cities. Secondly, the awareness of the reality-phenomenon ambiguity, and the consequent need to face it through a full sensorial experience: With Boccaccio emerged a revanche of the image, imagination, eros, in contrast with the pressure of the logical order of the normative and allegorical writing, and that opposition was regulated giving narrative expression to open conflicts. Thirdly, the introduction of a particular storytelling technology based on the ambiguity of discourse and situations, being interpreted on several levels. Finally, the spaces metaphorical values: Florence, the plague city, as an overturning for a new necessary beginning; and the garden in the "cornice", as a recognition of the subject sensitive nature in its relationship with the world

Nice or Naughty in Nature? A Meta-Analysis on the Effect of Nature Exposure on Prosociality
No full textNapoli e Pompei nell’Encyclopédie
No full textThe entries “Naples”, “Herculanum”, “Pompeii” in the Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers
(1751-1772) are of different lengths and depths. These are entries that on the one hand report some of the effects of the archeological
discoveries which amaze Europe during those years, while on the other they impose themselves as testimonies of some explanatory
techniques (and of some imperfections) which are typical of the ripest “encyclopedism”. Their author De Jaucourt carries out a dedicated
and significant work of construction and divulgation and he brings to the attention of the subscribers of the Encyclopédie the treasures
at the core of the Vesuvius land
Escaping the friend zone: Gender differences in the likelihood of romantic/sexual behavior in opposite-sex friendships
No full textRecognition of GC base pairs by triplex forming oligonucleotides containing nucleosides derived from 2-aminopyridine
No full textWe have attempted to alleviate the pH dependency of triplex recognition of guanine by using intermolecular triplexes containing 2-amino-5-(2-deoxy-D-ribofuranosyl)pyridine (AP) as an analogue of 2'-deoxycytidine (dC). We find that for the β-anomer of AP, the complex between (AP)6T6 and the target site G6A6·T6C6 is stable, generating a clear DNase I footprint at oligonucleotide concentrations as low as 0.25 μM at pH 5.0, in contrast to 50 μM C6T6 which has no effect on the cleavage pattern. This complex is still stable at pH 6.5 producing a footprint with 1 μM oligonucleotide. Oligonucleotides containing the α-anomer of AP are much less effective than the β-anomer, though in some instances they are more stable than the unmodified oligonucleotides. The results of molecular dynamics studies on a range of AP-containing triplexes has rationalized the observed stability behaviour in terms of hydrogen-bonding behaviour.</p
