According to the author, the documents were written in the 1980s.
Some images are difficult to read due to the poor condition of both the originals, which have ink stains, and the writing (especially those entirely written with black inks). The ink has faded away in some pages.This collection of Wolofal (Wolof Ajami) materials is copied as part of the EAP 334 Project (Digital Preservation of Wolof Ajami manuscripts of Senegal) led by Dr. Fallou Ngom in collaboration with WARA/WARC and Boston University Library.

Manual de recepción activa y crítica / Asociación A Favor de lo Mejor.
No full textManual de la Asociación A Favor de lo Mejor, asociación civil mexicana formada a fines de 1997, destinado a promover una recepción activa y crítica de los medios de comunicación y a servir como apoyo didáctico de talleres y cursos que persigan dicha finalidad. La preocupación primordial de esta organización es la tendencia creciente de los medios hacia la promoción de la violencia, el desorden sexual y el menosprecio de los valores de la familia. La aparición y actuación de esta asociación ha generado reacciones contradictorias en la sociedad mexicana: por un lado, ha sido vista como reflejo de una sociedad civil más demandante y participativa, pero por otra parte ha sido vinculada con distintas fuerzas conservadoras contrarias a la libre expresión y circulación de las ideas
Indagine su Henosepilachna elaterii (Rossi) (=Epilachna chrysomelina (F.)) e Raphidopalpa foveicollis (Lucas) in meloneti biologici della Sicilia occidentale.
No full textInvestigations on Henosepilachna elaterii (Rossi) and Raphidopalpa foveicollis (Lucas) in an organic cultivation
of winter melon in western Sicily.
A study on H. elaterii and R. Foveicollis, serious pests of winter melon, was conducted in two organic melon fields of
the western Sicily. Dynamics of population and infestation levels were investigated. In addition, the possible influence of
mulching on R. Foveicollis infestation has been taken into account.
Our results showed that H. elaterii occurred only in one field from the beginning of June and it infested 60% of the
plants in the mid-July, then the pest population density dropped to about 10%. R. foveicollis occurred in both locations
from the beginning of June and reached high levels of population density around the mid-June; then the pest density rapidly
decreased in the two following weeks. Adults were found in the traps and the peak catches occurred in mid-June. A
greater number of catches was found in the traps placed between the rows and the greater number of individuals has been
detected on plants of the not mulched plots.
The percentage of plants with damaged leaves ranged from 68.7% to 100% on mulched plots and 93.3% to 100% on
not mulched plots. In conclusion, the damages inflicted by R. foveicollis are counterbalanced by the rapid growing rate
of the plant occurring during June. Hence, this pest may cause serious injuries only in case of heavy infestation on winter
melon seedlings. Similarly, the damage caused by H. elaterii is usually not heavy even if presence of high levels of infestation
New Roads for Patron-Driven E-books:Collection Development and Technical Services Implications of a Patron-Driven Acquisitions Pilot at Rutgers
No full textCollection development librarians have long struggled to meet user demands for new titles. Too often, required resources are not purchased, while some purchased resources do not circulate. E-books selected through patron-driven plans are a solution but present new challenges for both selectors and catalogers. Radical changes to traditional technical services workflows are required, and selectors must modify the selection process to give more choice to the user. Rutgers University librarians have adopted an innovative new technical services workflow and collection-development model to manage a successful, patron-driven acquisitions project for e-books in the fields of math and computer science.This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship on 13/12/2011, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/1941126X.2011.627043
Indagini sulla presenza di Prays oleae in oliveti a conduzione biologica della Sicilia occidentale
No full textInvestigations on presence of Prays oleae in organic olive orchards of western Sicily.
This paper reports a study on the population dynamics of the olive moth, Prays oleae (Bern) (Lep., Plutellidae) in four
organic olive orchards in western Sicily (Italy), from 2007 to 2010.
The influence of the phytophagous on the fruit drop was detected. Also, the efficacy of treatments with Bacillus
thuringiensis var. kurstaki on damage reduction was evaluated.
Flight trend was monitored using delta-wing traps (3/ha) containing the sexual pheromone ((Z)-7-tetradecenal), placed
in each olive orchard. Traps were hung in the inner zone of the canopy to a height of 1.50 m, and checked weekly from
May to 2-3 days after the olive harvest.
Capture data indicated that flight peaks occurred on June-July and September-October. In 2007, the population density
of P. oleae moths was generally lower than the subsequent three years .
The fruit infestation levels in all years were under 5% and a greater susceptibility of Biancolilla and Cerasuola
var. than Nocellara var. were detected. In 2008, the fruit drop caused by P. oleae ranged from 12% to 47% in two
orchards studied. Finally, the results for two years indicate that treatments with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) can significantly
reduce the fruit fall caused by phytophagous in comparison with untreated olive orchards

Experimental setup and procedure for the measurement of the 7Be(n,p)7Li reaction at n_TOF
No full textFollowing the completion of the second neutron beam line and the related experimental area (EAR2) at the n_TOF spallation neutron source at CERN, several experiments were planned and performed. The high instantaneous neutron flux available in EAR2 allows to investigate neutron induced reactions with charged particles in the exit channel even employing targets made out of small amounts of short-lived radioactive isotopes. After the successful measurement of the 7Be(n,α)α cross section, the 7Be(n,p)7Li reaction was studied in order to provide still missing cross section data of relevance for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), in an attempt to find a solution to the cosmological Lithium abundance problem. This paper describes the experimental setup employed in such a measurement and its characterization. © 2017 The Author(s
Strategie di controllo di Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) con metodi alternativi agli interventi convenzionali in oliveti biologici della Sicilia occidentale
No full textThis work reports studies on the population dynamics and safe control strategies of Bactrocera oleae in four unsprayed
olive groves of western Sicily from 2007 to 2010.
The main management tools for B. oleae evaluated were the“Attract and Kill” lures (Ecotrap Vioryl), the use of sardines
(traditional practice) and Nu-lure (innovative) and the spinosad (innovative) which is a selective insect control product
produced by the fermentation of a naturally occurring soil bacterium, Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Flies trend were
carried out by pheromone traps and the level of infestation counting the number of fruits with pest eggs, larvae and pupae
and hole hatching.
Results showed that in all olive groves and during three years of observation, the number of males caught by
pheromone traps and infestation levels in the control areas were often higher than in the treated areas with baits. The lowest
values were always detected in areas with sardine and Nu-lur baits. The infestation was always lower in the area
treated with spinosad than in untreated area (control). The number of healthy olives from the areas treated with spinosad
was on average 70%.
The assessment of these ecological methods induces their application as control strategies with the aim of reduce the
olive fruit fly population below economic threshold considering the low environmental impact
