Su alcune specie di Telenomus Haliday nuove per l\u27Italia e descrizione di due nuovi generi di Telenomini e tre nuove specie di Telenomus
No full textThe paper deals mostly with Palaearctic Telenomini material collected all over Sicily by the author. Among this material there are some species new to Island or to Italy (Telenomus acrobates Giard., T. angustatus Thomson, T. antennalis Kozlov, T. danubialis (Szelenyi), T. dissolcus Kozl., T. lopicida Silvestri, T. macroceps Szabò, T. regius Kononova, T. tauricus Konon., as well as the new genera Rachelia n. gen., (type species Rachelia robertae n. sp.), and Televiggianus n. gen., (type species Televiggianus rachelinae n. sp.). Furthermore, a new species from Zimbabwe, Telenomus rachelae Mineo, is described; Telenomus paraothus Szabò & Mineo has also been re-defined; Telenomus sp., bred from Liorhyssus hyalinus F. (Rhopalidae), is recognized as a new parasitoid of this bug in the Palaearctic region.Sono stati studiati dei materiali di Telenomini (Scelionidae) raccolti per lo più in alcune località della Sicilia. Tra essi sono stati identificati alcune specie già note, sebbene quasi tutte nuove per l\u27Italia, cioe: Telenomus acrobates Giard., T. angustatus Thomson, T. antennalis Kozlov, T. danubialis (Szelenyi), T. dissolcus Kozl., T. lopicida Silvestri, T. macroceps Szabo, T. regius Kononova, T. tauricus Konon.; inoltre vengono proposti i seguenti due nuovi generi di Telenomini: Rachelia gen. n. e Televiggianus gen. n., i cui genotipi sono rispettivamente, Rachelia robertae sp. n. e Televiggianus rachelinae sp. n.; inoltre viene ridescritto Telenomus paraothus Szabò & Mineo. Viene descritta una nuova specie raccolta nel Zimbabwe: Telenomus rachelae Mineo e viene segnalata una specie di Telenomus nuovo parassitoide del Rhopalidae Liorhyssus hyalinus F. nella regione paleartica
The Political Logic of Conflict. A Debate on Machiavelli in Tumult by Gabriele Pedullà. Introduction
No full textThis section of the issue offers a debate on G. Pedullà’s Machiavelli in Tumult: The Discourses on Livy and the Origins of Political Conflictualism (Cambridge 2018). Its ambition is to bring together textual and philological analysis that is «internal» to the great fabric of Machiavellian exegesis, alongside
theoretical-political questioning «external» to that fabric. The main objective is to offer a new image of Machiavelli as an author who breaks with a long and authoritative tradition, one which exalted concord as an absolute political value, and to inaugurate a new way of observing political and social phenomena. The book is discussed by A. Brown, J. Hankins, J. Mc-Cormick, and N. Urbinat
Il discours préfaciel della prima edizione del Dictionaire italien, latin et françois (1735) di Annibale Antonini
No full textThe preface to Annibale Antonini’s first edition of Dictionaire italien, latin et françois (1735)
This article aims at analysing Annibale Antonini’s preface to the first edition of Dictionaire italien, latin et françois (1735) according to the topics identified by Francœur (2001) and Emanuele (2018). We will demonstrate how Antonini’s preface represents a remarkable paratextual element in which the author expresses his point of view in relation to the previous French-Italian lexicography and to the organization of the microstructure and macrostructure. We will also draw attention to Antonini’s considerations about the Italian language. In doing so, we will provide documentary evidence of the author’s contribution to the French-Italian literary polemic, known as the Orsi-Bouhours controversy. The last part of our study will be dedicated to Antonini’s unaccomplished project of writing a Universal Italian Dictionary, in order to evaluate the impact of Enlightenment on the lexicographer’s latest work
Chemical specificity in short-chain fatty acids and their analogues in increasing osmotic fragility in rat erythrocytes in vitro.
No full textWe examined the role of the chemical specificity of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and their derivatives in increasing osmotic fragility (OF) in rat red blood cells (RBCs). Except for formic acid, normal SCFAs with 2 to 8 carbons increased the OF in rat RBCs with increasing number of hydrocarbons in a dose-dependent manner. Replacement of the carboxylic group with sulfonic group inhibited, but did not abolish, the SCFA-mediated increase in OF. Introduction of another carboxylic group (dicarboxylic acids) completely abolished the SCFA-mediated increase in OF. Transformation of the hydrocarbon chains in SCFAs from straight to branched or cyclic chains affected the degree of the OF-increasing effect. Introduction of double- or triple-carbon bonds to the hydrocarbon chain in parent SCFAs did not affect the increase in OF. Both hydrophilic (carboxylic group) and hydrophobic elements (hydrocarbons) at opposite sides of a molecule were required to affect the RBC membrane, and the size and form of hydrophobic element were important factors in determining the SCFA-mediated increase in OF. The hydrocarbon chains probably enter the plasma membrane, with the hydrophilic carboxylic base remaining outside of the membrane, and interact with phospholipid in cell membrane and disturb the structure of lipid layer resulting in the increase in OF in the rat RBCs

Surface chemical modification of carbon nanowalls for wide-range control of surface wettability
No full textCarbon nanowalls (CNWs) are self-assembled, free-standing, few-layered graphenenano-structures with large surface area, and thin graphene edges. For their application to nanobiotechnology, the effects of chemisorbed species on surface wettability were investigated. The surfaces of as-grown CNWs obtained using CH4/H2 mixture were hydrophilic. After Ar atmospheric pressure plasma treatments for up to 30 s, the contact angles of water droplets on the CNWs decreased from 51° to 5°, owing to a result of oxidation only at edges and surface defects. They increased up to 147° by CF4 plasma treatment at low pressure. The wide-range control of surface wettability of CNWs was realized by post-growth plasma treatments. We also demonstrated detection of bovine serum albumin using surface-modified CNWs as electrodes
