Aggressività in Larus Cachinnans
No full textLa ricerca presentata nell'articolo aveva il fine di verificare un aumento dell'asggressività da parte dei gabbiani durante il periodo di primo allevamento dei pulli. Il numero di picchiate è significativamentepiù alto dopo la schiusa ed è anche più violento rispetto al periodo di cova. Infatti in questo periodo si osservano un maggior numero di contatti tra l'animale e l'uomo durante le picchiate. Durante il periodo di cova le picchiate sono sopra il capo del disturbatore ad una distanza di circa 50 cm. Nel comportamento di gruppo o mobbing passivo si riscontra una significativa diminuizione dei soggetti in volo durante il periodo di primo allevamento rispetto al periodo di cova.Il comportamento di mobbing passivo è un comportamento altruistico (Trivers, 1974), perciò durante il periodo di allevamento si ha una diminuzione dei comportamenti altruistici

Bryant Service Club,
I wish to acknowledge receipt of your wonderful Easter package. I certainly did appreciate and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Army Life is still about the same as ever for me. My job deals with appropriation of funds and it is quite interesting. It is surprising how the accounting knowledge I picked up at Bryant helps me now.
Most of my spare time is spent in playing softball. I am on the base softball team and this certainly takes most of my leisure hours. It is quite warm down here now and I have acquired a good tan by going down to the beach.
I wish to thank you again for the package you sent me. Bryant certainly never forgets their graduates.
Sincerely yours, Carlo Conte Class of ‘40 [Transcription ends
Frammenti di Chimica
No full text"FRAMMENTI DI CHIMICA. Come smascherare falsi miti e leggende" nasce, come afferma l'autore stesso, "dal desiderio di condividere la mia passione per la scienza e soprattutto dalla voglia di far capire che quanto si legge in rete deve essere sempre giudicato criticamente. In altre parole, bisogna sempre diffidare dei santoni che dicono di se stessi di essere novelli Giordano Bruno o redivivi Galileo Galilei perché le loro idee scientifiche (in realtà pseudo-scientifiche) sono osteggiate dai guru della “scienza ufficiale”. Non esiste alcuna “scienza ufficiale”. Come avrò modo di dimostrare, esiste un solo tipo di scienza ed è quella che segue delle regole ben precise – ovvero le regole del metodo scientifico – al di fuori delle quali non esiste “scienza”, ma solo pseudo-scienza".
La vita è chimica, la chimica è vita. Il Prof. Pellegrino Conte, Ordinario di Chimica Agraria presso l’Università degli Studi di Palermo, per tutti Rino Conte, ci accompagna in un viaggio affascinante con una "valigia" ricca di strumenti per distinguere i fatti dagli aneddoti (cap. FATTI VS ANEDDOTICA), per conoscere cos'è la chimica (cap. CHIMICA CATTIVA O CHIMICA BUONA? L’IMPORTANZA DELLE PAROLE), come si legge l’etichetta di un’acqua in bottiglia e altre caratteristiche (cap. L’ACQUA E LE SUE PROPRIETÀ MAGICHE), cosa sono le diluizioni omeopatiche, la memoria dell'acqua e il mito "su di me funziona" (cap. CHIMICA E OMEOPATIA), passando poi, per
LA CHIMICA DELLA DOLCEZZA, a spiegare i vari zuccheri e dolcificanti, mentre nel cap. LA CHIMICA NEI SEGGI ELETTORALI scopriremo come è fatta una matita e in particolare quella copiativa... questo e altro in 236 pagine in uscita il 3 settembre 2018
Letter from Mary H. Le Conte to Mrs. Muir [Louie Strentzel Muir], Mar 10
No full textBerkeley Nov 10th My dear Mrs. Muir; The box of beautiful grapes arrived in fine condition, and I can assure you we have all enjoyed them, and appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending them. Probably you have enjoyed fruit fresh from vine and tree so long that you have forgotten what a vast difference there is between that and store fruit! Please remember me kindly to Helen, I hope she has entirely recovered from her severe illness. Such a siege as she passed through however takes a long time to rally from. Again thanking you I am very sincerely yours Mary H. Le Conte 2301 Piedmont Ave
Stem cell protection mechanisms in planarians: the role of some heat shock genes
No full textPlanarians contain a large population of stem cells, named neoblasts, and use these for continuous turnover of all cell types. In addition, thanks to the amazing flexibility of these cells, planarians respond well to the effects of stressful situations, for example activating regeneration after trauma. How neoblasts respond to stress and support continuous proliferation, maintaining long-term stability, is still an open question. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a complex protein family with key roles in maintaining protein homeostasis, as well as in apoptosis and growth-related processes. We recently characterized some planarian homologs of hsp genes that are highly expressed in mammalian stem cells, and observed that some of them are critical for neoblast survival/maintenance. The results of these studies support the notion that some HSPs play crucial roles in the modulation of pathways regulating stem cell activity, regeneration and tissue repair. In this review we compare the evidence available for planarian hsp genes and focus on questions emerging from these results

To the Bryant Service Club:
The other day I received your most enlightning [sic] letter and I wish to thank you very much for it. There is really no other event I look forward to more than receiving letters for it brings back sweet memories to me.
Since I have been in the Army I have been very lucky for I have seen Miami Beach, Florida and from there I was sent to Los Angeles, California for training in the Administrative and Technical School. There I studied to be an Engineering and Operations Clerk which deals mainly in forms and the preparation of them for planes and their flights. It is really most interesting and I only hope that I can continue in this type of work.
After Los Angeles I was shipped to the Army Air Base at Colorado Springs, Colorado where I was put through thirty days of overseas training which every one who comes on this field must go through. My thirty days has just ended and now I am in the 11th Photographic Mapping Squadron for additional training in my type of work. However, so far they have me in the supply department, but this is only temporary as we are waiting for our Line Passes so that we can go on the field and work in either the Engine ring or the Operations offices. I believe that by the end of next week I will be stationed in the office where I shall get trained for the type of work I shall do.
Receiving your letters brought back many of the events that happened to me during the years 1938-1940 and started me thinking about the many friends I had made during the time I spent there. It really was the best two years of my life, and I shall never forget the good times I had there. I only hope that some day I will be able to get near enough to Providence so that I will be able to come in and say hello to all of you.
I must at this time convey my best wishes to Prof. Shors and Prof. Lee for their commissions in the armed forces. I am sure they will go just as far in their new endeavor as they did as professors. I had both of them and they did much in getting over to me the complicated subject of Accounting. Also, I wish to send my regards to all the other professors that I had at the time I was in Bryant and hope they have continued success in whatever they are doing.
Well, I guess I must end this letter now as work never stops in the Army. However before I do I wish to say that the Bryant Service Club is one of the best organizations I have found since I have been in the Army, and congratulations are really in order for all you have done and will do.
Your former student, Carlo Conte

Conte-me sua história...: narrativas visuais sobre mulheres artistas independentes
No full textMotivada pela vontade de colocar o Design Visual ao serviço
da visibilização das múltiplas narrativas acerca do ser uma
mulher artista independente nos dias atuais, nasceu o Conteme
sua história, um projeto pessoal de longo prazo, que
pretende ser uma série de narrativas visuais em animação, a
contar histórias dessas mulheres. A presente investigação é o
desenvolvimento do projeto-piloto dessa série, com o objetivo
de experimentar uma metodologia para cocriação dessa
narrativa visual em parceria com a própria artista, como
resposta para a necessidade de se ter cada vez mais histórias
de mulheres artistas contadas por mulheres, narradas em
primeira pessoa. Além da produção do “objeto” (narrativa
visual em animação), partiu-se do entendimento que o
processo de revisitar sua trajetória para elaborar essa narrativa
proporcionaria à artista uma oportunidade de ressignificação
de si mesma, sendo assim uma possível ferramenta de
empoderamento pessoal. Com a realização dessa experiência,
foi possível identificar de que maneiras esta metodologia
biográfica cocriativa pode contribuir no desenvolvimento e na
produção da narrativa visual em questão , além de avaliar o
uso de cada uma das ferramentas utilizadas neste percurso e
identificar as possíveis melhorias a serem implementadas no
processo como um todo. Sendo assim, foi possível concluir
que a metodologia é adequada para o desenvolvimento da
série Conte-me sua história, considerando as narrativas visuais
enquanto instrumento de contato pessoal e de visibilização
dessas histórias.Motivated by the desire to use Visual Design at the service
of making multiple narratives visible about being an
independent woman artist nowadays, Conte-me sua história
was born, a long-term personal project that aims to be a
series of visual narratives in animation, telling the stories
of these women. The present investigation is the
development of the pilot project for this series, with the
aim of experimenting with a methodology for co-creating
this visual narrative in partnership with the artist herself,
in response to the need to have more and more stories of
women artists told by women, narrated in first person. In
addition to the production of the “object” (visual narrative
in animation), it was understood that the process of
revisiting her trajectory to elaborate this narrative would
provide the artist with an opportunity to reframe herself,
thus being a possible tool for personal empowerment.
With this experience, it was possible to identify in what
ways this co-creative biographical methodology can
contribute to the development and production of the
visual narrative in question, in addition to evaluating the
use of each of the tools used in this journey and identifying
possible improvements to be implemented. in the process
as a whole.Thus, it was possible to conclude that the
methodology is adequate for the development of Conte-me
sua história serie, considering the visual narratives as an
instrument of personal contact and making these stories
visible
