ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASES AND BIOACTIVE MOLECULES: AN APPLICATION IN THE SYNTHESIS OF PROFENS
No full textAlcohol dehydrogenases are enzymes involved in natural oxidoreductive interconversions between alcohols and aldehydes. In particular Horse Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase (HLADH) is an interesting enzyme and it has been used in several chemical processes.
In a research project on the development of a chemoenzymatic synthesis of Profens we used HLADH for the asymmetric reduction of several racemic 2-arylpropanals to (2S)-arylpropanols. Optimized reaction conditions in a buffer–organic medium, allowed the occurrence of a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) proces

No full textThe Winning Arguments of the Anthropocene in the Production of Space
No full textThe essay stages the law at the intersections between the humanities, technology, and the production of digital spaces. Interactions like these are relevant in the present age, where humankind is outcompeting natural resources and changing the earth. The Anthropocene is an epoch of environmental crisis, which we humans make undergo a process of sublimation servient to the control of the earth; blurring the divide between the digital and the human is functional to such a process. The strategic use of the law then makes climate-change policies compatible with global markets. Assuming that manufacturing digital spaces is useful to this end, the essay focuses on multimedia games, i.e. a digital space blending real-word performances with internet- and media-related contents. This digital space is also functional to sublimation, since it convinces us that we can successfully tackle climate change without changing our lifestyles and economic paradigms
TUTELA DEL LAVORO E LIBERTA' D'IMPRESA NEI PROCESSI DI ESTERNALIZZAZIONE
No full textL’elaborato analizza le conseguenze lavoristiche della successione fra imprenditori, muovendo da una ricognizione delle varie tipologie di esternalizzazione con le relative esigenze e principali criticità.
L’indagine si concentra in primo luogo sul trasferimento d’azienda, esaminando la normativa e la giurisprudenza europee per passare poi alla disciplina di diritto interno, alle procedure sindacali e a uno specifico focus sul trasferimento delle aziende in crisi.
Successivamente l’autore si sofferma sull’appalto, prendendone in particolare considerazione gli indici di genuinità, i criteri di distinzione dalla somministrazione illecita di manodopera e la tutela delle maestranze in caso di avvicendamento fra imprese.
Da ultimo, la ricerca approfondisce le c.d. “clausole sociali”, sia di prima che di seconda generazione, valutandone la compatibilità con il diritto eurounitario e con la costituzione nonché riflettendo sui possibili rimedi in caso di loro violazione.The author analyzes the labour consequences of the succession between entrepreneurs, starting from a recognition of the various types of outsourcing with the related needs and main critical issues.
The survey focuses primarily on the transfer of businesses, examining European legislation and case-law and then moving on to internal legislation, trade union procedures and a specific focus on the transfer of companies in crisis.
The author then dwells on the contract, taking into account in particular the indications of authenticity, the criteria of distinction from the illicit administration of labour and the protection of workers in the event of turnover between companies.
Finally, the research deepens the "social clauses", both first and second generation, assessing their compatibility with European law and with the constitution and reflecting on possible remedies in case of their violation
Ultra Low Carbon Vehicles: New Parameters for Automotive Design
No full textAs the influence of vehicle emissions on our environment has become better understood, the UK government has recently placed urgent emphasis on the implementation of low carbon
technologies in the automotive industry through: the UK Low Carbon Industrial Strategy. The overall objective is to offer big incentives to consumers and support for the development of infrastructure and engineering solutions. This scheme however does not consider how the development of functional and experiential user value might drive consumer demand, contributing to the adoption of low carbon vehicles (LCVs) in the mass market.
With the emergence of the North East of England as the UK’s first specialised region for the development of ultra-low carbon vehicles (ULCVs), ONE North East, as a development agency for the region's economic and business development, and Northumbria University Ideas-lab have supported a project to facilitate innovation through the collaboration of technology, research and development (R&D) and business. The High Value Low Carbon (HVLC) project aims to envisage
new user value made possible by the integration of low carbon vehicle platforms with new process and network technologies. The HVLC consortium represents vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers as well as technology based companies and through an ongoing process of design concept generation the project offers a hub for innovation led enterprise.
Whilst new technological developments in areas such as power generation, nano materials, hydrogen fuel cells, printed electronics and networked communications will all impact on future automotive design, the mass adoption of low carbon technologies represents a paradigm shift for the motorist. This paper aims to describe how the mapping of new parameters will lead to new transport scenarios that will create the space for new collaborative research on user experiences supported by innovative technologies and related services

Lewis – is best known as the author of the Orlando Innamorato [Orlando in Love], a poem in ottava rima organically merging Carolingian epic and Arthurian romance. He was also a lyric and pastoral poet, playwright, and translator of classical texts into the Italian vernacular. Matteo was active in Italy during the years of 1463 throughout 1494, the year of his death
Spectral analysis and geological mapping of the Daedalia Planum lava field (Mars) using OMEGA data
No full textThe great variety of morphologies observed in the Daedalia Planum lava flows (Mars) encouraged a detailed study of their spectral characteristics, in order to obtain information about lava composition and detect possible differences in the spectra of the flows. The OMEGA spectral data collected from the lava field appear rather similar, with absorptions between 0.8 and 1.4 μm and 1.8 and 2.5 μm, suggesting the presence of mafic minerals, which are typical primary mineral phases of volcanic rocks. Moreover, after the subtraction of the background absorption (continuum removal), we highlighted the presence of two classes of spectra both compatible with tholeiitic basalts but with different proportions of Ca in the pyroxene. Despite the similar absorption bands, Daedalia spectra show differences in albedo and spectral slope. By employing the average spectra of the different flow units as end-members, a SAM (Spectral Angle Mapper) classification was performed. The resulting spectral map reveals a relationship between spectral behavior and flow surface textures
DATING THRUST SYSTEM ON MERCURY.
No full textMercury is a planet dominated by contractional features at a global scale. The age deter-mination of these features will permit to estimate the rate of global contraction and whether limits could be placed on when the contraction occurred. This will give us new clues to better understanding the thermal evolution of the planet
Uno sguardo all'Est. Lavoro e diritti fondamentali in Russia e negli altri Paesi della Comunità di Stati indipendenti
No full textNel contributo l'autore, dopo aver esaminato i diritti fondamentali del lavoro presenti nelle Costituzioni dei Paesi della Comunità di Stati indipendenti, si sofferma sul diritto del lavoro russo. La trattazione, a carattere diacronico, abbraccia i rami principali del diritto del lavoro: il rapporto individuale, le relazioni collettive, il mercato del lavoro. L'autore rileva una sorprendente continuità nelle linee essenziali del diritto del lavoro russo, pur nel susseguirsi di sistemi socioeconomici completamente diversi. Egli conclude che il diritto del lavoro russo appartiene saldamente alla matrice europea della materia.The contribution of the author starts by examining fundamental labour rights recognised by the Constitutions of the Countries of the Community of Independent States. Then the author focuses upon Russian Labour Law, going through the history of the main branches of the discipline: the individual relationship, industrial relations, the labour market. The article finds a surprising continuity in the essential lines of Russian Labour Law, in spite of the completely different socio-economic systems that were experimented in Russia during the twentieth century. The author concludes that Russian Labour Law clearly belongs to the European matrix of the discipline
