Il mandolino nel '700 napoletano
No full textConcerto dell'Ensemble Galanterie a Plettri, organizzato nell'ambito della rassegna concertistica Invisibilia, Palermo, Oratorio di Santa Cita. Galanterie a Plettri è una nuova formazione
strumentale nata nell’ambito del progetto di
ricerca “Il mandolino a Napoli nel Settecento, un
progetto promosso dall’Università di Bologna
in collaborazione con l’Università di Uppsala
e l’Accademia Mandolinistica Napoletana con
l’obiettivo di riportare alla luce il repertorio e la
storia del mandolino a Napoli nel secolo XVIII
al momento della sua nascita e del suo sviluppo
europeo e internazionale. Il tratto innovativo
ed originale di questa formazione è che essa è
composta integralmente da mandolini e strumenti
storici, originali o copie di modelli settecenteschi.L’ensemble è stato
fondato da Anna Rita Addessi (Università di Bologna,
dir. scientiico), Mauro Squillante (Conservatorio
di Salerno, dir. artistico) e Pietro Marchese (dir.
Orchestra Infantile Quattrocanti, Palermo). La
direzione musicale dell’Ensemble è afidata al M°
Mauro Squillante, mandolinista e specialista negli
strumenti antichi a plettro
On the Relationship Between Contemporary Novel-Essay and Science-Fiction
No full textThe article inquires upon a possible connection (both formal and thematical) between the literary genre of science-fiction and the form of the novel-essay. Both of them trace their roots back to the late 19th century culture and share a philosophical ambition to interpret the world through narrative philosophy, albeit in opposed ways. After sketching a brief history of the two forms (also underlining their crossroads and similarities), the essay concludes with a parallel reading of two novels by David Foster Wallace and Michel Houellebecq in late 20th century. An open question upon the future paths of a "science-fictional" novel-essay is placed at the end
Adsorption of sulfonamide antibiotics onto high silica zeolites: from multidisciplinary model studies to applications to real waters
No full textOwing to their environmental diffusion and persistence, sulfonamide antibiotics (sulfa drugs) are
responsible to induce high level of resistance in bacteria. The sulfonamide anionic nature makes them
highly mobile along soil profile and is responsible for their accumulation into water bodies. In order
to limit the diffusion of resistance determinants, it is of utmost importance to identify adsorbents for
this antibiotic family to be adopted for water cleanup purpose. Three high silica zeolites (Y, MOR,
ZSM-5) have been tested for their capability to extract sulfonamides from water. Kinetics, capacity
and reversibility of the adsorption have been studied along with sulfonamide arrangement into the
porosities of each zeolite [1-3].
The sulfa drugs irreversibly adsorbed onto zeolite Y at ca. 26% on average and with the process
equilibrium reached in less than 1 min [1,3]. The favorable adsorption kinetics was confirmed when
zeolite Y was applied to both fresh and sea waters although the dissolved organic matter occurring
in natural water compartments can be retained as well but with a kinetics less favorable than that
shown by sulfa drugs. The main host-guest & guest-guest interactions between zeolites and sulfa drugs
were defined by IR and SS-NMR analysis, and augmented by computational studies. H-bonds and van
der Waals type interactions between single molecules and zeolite Y or ZSM-5 were responsible for
the irreversible extraction of sulfa drugs from water [1,3]. The occurrence of intramolecular medium
strength H-bond in small sized sulfa drugs upon adsorption inside zeolite Y cage revealed the formation
of dimeric species whose amidic or imidic tautomeric form were identified [1,3]. Rietveld refinement
and IR analysis revealed that sulfa drugs incorporation into MOR caused a close vicinity of the
heterocycle ring to the side pocket oxygens [2,3]. At 65°C, MOR gave rise to a sulfachloropyridazine
reaction product with a 100% selectivity and SNAr mechanism [2]. Among the regeneration strategies
approached, the thermal treatment and solvent extraction gave the best results.

Extended Future Internet: An IP Pervasive Network Including Interplanetary Communication?
No full textStarting from the evolution of Internet, this paper addresses the concept of pervasive computing whose aim is to create a pervasive network of heterogeneous devices which communicate data with each other and with other networking devices in a seamless way through heterogeneous network portions. This operative framework is also called Future Internet. Extending the idea of pervasive computing to interplanetary and other challenging links implies adding to the classical problems of pervasive communications such as quality of service, mobility and security, peculiarities such as intermittent connectivity, disruptive links, large and variable delays, and high bit error rates which are currently tackled through the paradigm of Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTNs). Satellite systems used to connect isolated and rural areas have already to cope with a series of challenges that are magnified in space communications characterized by huge distances among network nodes. At the same time, a space communication system must be reliable over time and the importance of enabling Internet-like communications with space vehicles (as well as with rural areas) is increasing, making the concept of extended Future Internet of practical importance. This paper will discuss this challenging issue
Dysphagia in neurological diseases: a literature review. Panebianco M, Marchese-Ragona R, Masiero S, Restivo DA. Neurol Sci. 2020 Jun 7. doi: 10.1007/s10072-020-04495-2.
No full textDysphagia is defined as an impairment of this complex and integrated sensorimotor system. It is estimated that 400,000 to 800,000 individuals worldwide develop neurogenic dysphagia per year. Neurogenic dysphagia is typically occurring in patients with neurological disease of different etiologies. A correct and early diagnosis and an appropriate management of dysphagia could be useful for improving patient’s quality of life and may help to prevent or delay death. In the present review, we discuss thoroughly the anatomy and physiology of swallowing and also the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in impaired swallowing, as well as the diagnosis, management, and potential treatments of neurogenic dysphagia. Assessment of neurogenic dysphagia includes medical history, physical exam, and instrumental examinations (fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, videofluoroscopic swallowing study, electromyography). Pharmacological treatment of these problems includes oral anticholinergic drugs. Surgical myotomy of the cricopharyngeal muscle showed an important improvement of oropharyngeal dysphagia associated to upper esophageal sphincter hyperactivity. Chemical myotomy of the upper esophageal sphincter by local injections of botulinum toxin type A into the cricopharyngeal muscle has been proposed as an alternative less invasive and less unsafe than surgical myotomy
