GLI ORATORI AMBROSIANI COME STRUTTURE SISTEMICHE COMPLESSE PER LA RIGENERAZIONE DELLA RETE DEI SERVIZI E SPAZI DI PROSSIMITÀ
No full textThe paper presents a research about a particular typology of buildings for the community, widespread and consolidated in the urban area: the system of parish complexes, commonly called “oratorio”. The interpretative approach is based on the systemic vision of the object as a complex building organism to relate to the network of public spaces and local services. The aim of the research is the definition of methods and strategies for the analysis and regeneration of the considered facilities
Rehabilitating the parish facilities as a proximity urban heritage: the milanese experience
No full textAccording to the necessity to use, improve and adapt the welfare system that cities face (especially after the pandemic), the paper focuses on the rehabilitation and regeneration practices of the urban and collective heritage. In the context of collective services and facilities, the attention to urban health and psychophysical well-being – increased following the pandemic – leads to reflect on the role of spaces for sociality and physical activity as essential features of proximity facilities. Mainly, the paper illustrates the analytical phase of the research project SPèS, which led to the following results: I) the recognition of the oratorio network as a widespread and capillary system of existing proximity facilities; II) the explanation of typological families of parishes, characterised by homogeneous urban contexts, social and physical performance; III) the definition of specific design strategies for each typological family identified through an inductive approach

Manufacture of Fior di Latte cheese by incorporation of probiotic lactobacilli
No full textThis work aimed to select heat-resistant probiotic
lactobacilli to be added to Fior di Latte (high-moisture
cow milk Mozzarella) cheese. First, 18 probiotic
strains belonging to Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus
delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus paracasei,
Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and
Lactobacillus reuteri were screened. Resistance to heating
(65 or 55°C for 10 min) varied markedly between
strains. Adaptation at 42°C for 10 min increased the
heat resistance at 55°C for 10 min of all probiotic lactobacilli.
Heat-adapted L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus SP5
(decimal reduction time at 55°C of 227.4 min) and L.
paracasei BGP1 (decimal reduction time at 55°C of 40.8
min) showed the highest survival under heat conditions
that mimicked the stretching of the curd and were used
for the manufacture of Fior di Latte cheese. Two technology
options were chosen: chemical (addition of lactic
acid to milk) or biological (Streptococcus thermophilus
as starter culture) acidification with or without addition
of probiotics. As determined by random amplified
polymorphic DNA-PCR and 16S rRNA gene analyses,
the cell density of L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus SP5 and
L. paracasei BGP1 in chemically or biologically acidified
Fior di Latte cheese was approximately 8.0 log10
cfu/g. Microbiological, compositional, biochemical, and
sensory analyses (panel test by 30 untrained judges)
showed that the use of L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus
SP5 and L. paracasei BGP1 enhanced flavor formation
and shelf-life of Fior di Latte cheeses
Monitoring of cellular immunity by interferon gamma (IFN-g) Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Spot (ELISPOT) assay in kidney allograft recipients: preliminary results of a longitudinal study.
No full textSeveral efforts have been made in past years to identify markers for patients at heightened risk of acute and chronic immune-mediated allograft rejection. The ex vivo monitoring of cellular immunity by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Spot (ELISPOT) assay has recently emerged as a primary tool in predicting either short and long-term outcomes in kidney allograft recipients. Therefore we started the systematic application of Interferon-gamma (IFN-g) ELISPOT assay to measure the frequency of producing IFN-g in recipient peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) stimulated with donor lymphocytes before and 7, 14, 21,28 and 60 days after the transplant, respectively. Very preliminary results on 8 kidney transplant patients indicated that the number of HLA mismatches never correlated with the number of IFN-g spots. The frequencies of pre-transplant IFN-g spots were positively and significantly correlated with the number of post-transplant IFN-ã spots. Clinical outcome was better in recipients with low frequencies than in recipients with high frequencies of pre and/or post-transplant IFN-g spots. The highest pre-and post-transplant number of IFN-g spots was observed in a patient who developed early acute rejection. Significant increases of the number of IFN-g spots preceded the onset of acute rejection events and decreased after supplemental i.v. steroid administration. Considering the low number of observations, these preliminary results must be considered cautiously; nevertheless we are encouraged to extend the systematic application of serial IFN-g ELISPOT assay measurements in a more consistent cohort of patients

Molecular phylogeny of the Caryophyllaceae (Caryophyllales) inferred from chloroplast matK and nuclear rDNA ITS sequences
No full textCaryophyllaceae is a principally holarctic family including around 2200 species often classified into the three subfamilies Alsinoideae, Caryophylloideae, and Paronychioideae. Complex and possibly homoplasious morphological characters within the family make taxa difficult to delimit and diagnose. To explore part of the morphological evolution within the family, we investigated the phylogeny of the Caryophyllaceae by means of analyzing plastid and nuclear sequence data with parsimony and Bayesian methods. We describe a mode of tracing a stable phylogenetic signal in ITS sequences, and a significant common signal is shared with the plastid data. Parsimony and Bayesian analyses yield some differences in tree resolution. None of the subfamilies appear monophyletic, but the monophyly of the Caryophylloideae is not contradicted. Alsinoideae are paraphyletic, with Arenaria subg. Eremogone and Minuartia subg. Spergella more closely related to the Caryophylloideae. There is strong support for the inclusion of Spergula-Spergularia in an Alsinoideae-Caryophylloideae clade. Putative synapomorphies for these groupings are twice as many stamens as number of sepals and a caryophyllad-type of embryogeny. Paronychioideae form a basal grade, where tribe Corrigioleae are sister to the rest of the family. Free styles and capsules with simple teeth are possibly plesiomorphic for the family
Rigenerazione urbana e governo della città contemporanea. La prospettiva ecologico-ambientale. Piani e progetti
No full textIl volume “Rigenerazione urbana e governo della città contemporanea. La prospettiva ecologico-ambientale. Piani e progetti” approfondisce, attraverso una riflessione multidisciplinare, alcuni ambiti significativi per l'innovazione di tutte le discipline del progetto, indagando il ruolo imprescindibile delle componenti ecologico-ambientali della città pubblica, quale matrice e ossatura portante di una strategia integrata e interscalare di governo pubblico, finalizzata alla rigenerazione urbana e al riequilibrio territoriale. Qui, le contaminazioni e le specificità dei differenti linguaggi disciplinari, sottese da una comune dimensione sperimentale, si esprimono nella molteplicità dei contributi della Call for Papers ospitata in questo dossier. Le considerazioni riportate evidenziano delle tematiche centrali anche nel dibattito disciplinare, nel contesto nazionale e internazionale, che da anni rivestono un ruolo rilevante nelle attività di ricerca, di sperimentazione, di disseminazione e di formazione che il Dipartimento di Pianificazione, Design, Tecnologia dell’Architettura, della Sapienza Università di Roma, svolge quale interprete proattivo e propulsivo delle istanze sociali, culturali, economiche e politiche che scaturiscono dalle profonde trasformazioni in atto nei territori delle città italiane ed europee
