Il girasole. Caratteristiche morfologiche, tecniche colturali e utilizzo di nuovi ibridi
Il volume propone, in forma articolata ed organica, i risultati di sperimentazioni e ricerche sulla coltura del girasole effettuate presso l'azienda agraria dell'Università di Udine e descrive l'intensa attività di miglioramento genetico che ha consentito lo sviluppo di nuove varietà e di nuovi ibridi, alcuni dei quali attualmente in commercio. Il testo, presentandosi come uno strumento di consultazione e di studio, fornisce una visione d'insieme su questa pianta unendo idealmente tra loro i vari aspetti che la caratterizzano - biologici, fisiologici, genetici ed agronomici - e focalizza soprattutto l'attenzione sul girasole alto oleico e sulle caratteristiche genetiche e fisiologiche che lo distinguono dai genotipi tradizionali; largo spazio viene dato alla tecnica colturale considerando sia gli aspetti produttivi sia la tutela dell.ambiente connessa alle pratiche agronomiche. Sono riportati, infine, i possibili impieghi industriali degli oli vegetali derivati sia dal girasole che da altre oleaginose come il ricino e la soia, per illustrare le enormi possibilità offerte nei diversi settori tecnologici che interessano il quotidiano

Development and Optimization of an HPLC-PDA Method for the Determination of Major Cannabinoids in Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Essential Oil Obtained by Hydrodistillation
The use of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) essential oil (EO) has shown a significant increase in interest and use during recent years. In this work, a new and simple reversed-phase HPLC with photodiode-array (PDA) detector method has been developed and optimized for the detection and quantification of cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA). The cannabinoids were extracted from the EO by partition with n-hexane and water, followed by sonication, evaporation to dryness under nitrogen, and reconstitution with methanol:chloroform (9:1, v/v) before HPLC-PDA analysis. The method shows good selectivity and robustness, linearity in the range 0.5–100 mg L−1 with R2 higher than 0.999 for all cannabinoids analyzed, LOD of 0.11–0.16 mg L−1, and LOQ of 0.35–0.48 mg L−1. The recovery was between 78 and 100% and the intra-day and intermediate precision, expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD), was < 4% and 4–10%, respectively

Suitability assessment of different hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) varieties to the cultivation environment
Hemp crop is nowadays spreading in many new areas and then the prediction of crop behavior and performance in different specific environments could be of interest. This study presents a methodology to assess hemp suitability to cropping environments by a combined approach of experimental trials and simulation. The experiment of this study involved six hemp varieties, evaluated for dual-purpose production (seed and stem) during two years of trials in North-East Italy. The results were exploited to develop and calibrate a simulation model able to evaluate hemp crop suitability to the trial environment. Yields obtained for hemp biomass and stems were similar to that of other European experiments, while seed production was shown to be slightly lower. Excessive temperature (daily maximum temperatures over 30 °C) during the grain-filling phase would be one of the main factors affecting seed quality, limiting the seed oil accumulation. Parameters already available in the literature and data obtained from the present experiment were used in the modelling approach to estimate phenological parameters, seed production as affected by water stress, and seed oil content as a function of temperature during the grain-filling period. In order to evaluate the hemp crop suitability to the environment, a scenario analysis using historical meteorological data was performed to predict variability - with different irrigation regimes - of seed yield, seed oil content, maturity date and required seasonal irrigation volume, for each variety in the soil and climatic conditions of the trial site
Dianthus sylvestris subsp. sylvestris as a promising candidate for phytostabilization of copper-contaminated post-mining sites in Alpine ecosystems
The lack of remediation of inactive mine sites is a serious global concern, as they pose risks to the environment, human health, and safety. The potential of Dianthus sylvestris subsp. sylvestris to remediate post-mining sites contaminated with copper (Cu) at high altitudes, which is a challenging task for most management strategies, was explored in this study. More than 1300 mg Cu kg−1 in shoots were found in plants collected at the Monte Avanza legacy mine site (Alps). However, it is unclear whether this is due to hyperaccumulation or foliar contamination. To address this gap, field samples were washed with two different protocols, and a controlled Cu-tolerance test was conducted. While very high Cu concentrations, exceeding the Cu hyperaccumulation threshold of 300 mg kg−1, were found in samples washed with water, results for the plants cleaned with a more rigorous approach with EDTA suggested Cu exclusion strategy. Under controlled conditions, the plant showed Cu hypertolerance but did not hyperaccumulate Cu. Thus D. sylvestris presents a Cu exclusion strategy rather than hyperaccumulation potential, making it a suitable candidate for Cu phytostabilization at high altitude legacy mine sites. The study emphasizes the need for experiments under controlled conditions when assessing the phytoremediation potential
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
