La polpa e l'osso: scritti di Manlio Rossi Doria su agricoltura risorse naturali e ambiente
No full textThe article is the introduction to the volume edited by the author with the same title on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of Manlio Rossi-Doria. The volume is a collection of selected writings published between 1929 and 1986 divided in four thematic sections: agronomic modernization, land amelioration, natural disasters and human action, ecology and energy. Prevailing contents by sections are as follows:first, land management, pasture improvement, soil protection, upland and lowland integration; second, land reclamation and land tenure; third, natural and man made disasters and related policies; fourth, ecology, energy sources, including nuclear, and related policy issues. After presenting the structure of the selection, an overview of selected writings emphasizes the continuity of Manlio Rossi-Doria committment with agriculture environment natural resources and related policie
"La bellezza involontaria": dalle rovine alla cultura del frammento tra Otto e novecento
No full textIl contributo, edito nel volume che raccoglie gli atti del convegno "Relitti Riletti. Metamorfosi delle rovine e identità culturale" a cura di Marcello Barbanera, affronta la questione dell'apprezzamento estetico delle rovine e della cultura del frammento tra Ottocento e Novecento
Anomalia di forma dei globuli rossi e danno ossidativo nella membrana eritrocitaria nella sindrome di Rett
No full textIn condizioni fisiologiche, i globuli
rossi - cellule dalle dimensioni di
7-8 m (millesimo di mm) - mostrano
una caratteristica forma a disco
biconcavo (discociti), di importanza
chiave per tutte le loro funzioni,
quali la deformabilità (per adattarsi
alle sinuosità della rete circolatoria),
e lo scambio di ossigeno (O2), ma
sono molto suscettibili a cambiamenti
morfologici, con conseguente
perdita della loro funzionalità.
Tra i fattori che causano alterazioni
morfologiche ci possono essere i
cambiamenti di osmolarità, di pH,
condizioni di ipossia e presenza
di ossidanti (sostanze o molecole
che possono indurre stress ossidativo)
[1-5]. I globuli rossi a causa
degli alti livelli di ferro cellulare e
della proprietà dell’emoglobina ad
auto-ossidarsi, sono una costante
sorgente di produzione di ossidanti
(radicali liberi dell’ossigeno
come l’anione superossido) [6,7] e
di ferro in forma libera (NPBI), cioè
non legato a proteine, redox attivo.
Stress ossidativo (SO) e ipossia
possono portare ad alterazioni nella
forma dei globuli rossi in pazienti
adulti con malattia polmonare cronica
ostruttiva (COPD) [7,8].
Nella forma tipica della sindrome
di Rett (RTT ) il nostro gruppo ha
dimostrato la presenza di ipossia
cronica, alterati scambi di gas a
livello polmonare, aumentato SO
e lesioni morfologiche polmonari,
simili a quelle evidenziabili nella
malattia polmonare interstiziale associata
a bronchiolite respiratoria
dei fumatori (RB-ILD) [9,10]. Nonostante
i globuli rossi svolgano un
ruolo fondamentale nel trasporto e
scambio di O2 nei mammiferi, finora
non esistevano informazioni sulla
morfologia dei globuli rossi nelle
bimbe e ragazze affette da RTT .
In particolare, nei nostri precedenti
studi avevamo dimostrato che lo
SO è in grado di indurre nei globuli
rossi rilascio di NPBI, formazione di
metemoglobina (Met-Hb) e alterazioni
ossidative dei lipidi (perossidazione
lipidica) e delle proteine di
membrana [11].
Quindi nel presente studio abbiamo
valutato se lo SO possa indurre
cambiamenti morfologici e danno
ossidativo nei globuli rossi di pazienti
Rett con forma classica. La
forma dei globuli rossi in pazienti
RTT e in soggetti sani è stata
correlata ai marker di SO, stato di
ossigenazione, scambi gassosi
polmonari e vari parametri cardiorespiratori
Faust Rossi

This video covers Faust Rossi’s reflections on his career as a law professor. A 1960 graduate of Cornell Law School, Rossi began his legal career as a trial attorney in the United States Department of Justice Honors Program. He subsequently became a litigation partner in a Rochester law firm, and joined the Cornell Law School Faculty in 1966. He retired in 2013.
Professor Rossi is the author of a text on expert witnesses and coauthor of the Handbook of New York Evidence. He was a national winner of the Roscoe Pound Jacobson Award for excellence in teaching Trial Advocacy. Professor Rossi was a recurring visiting professor at Central European University in Budapest and a regular faculty member in the Cornell Summer Institute of International and Comparative Law in Paris. He has also given hundreds of lectures to lawyers and judges in the United States and Europe.

No full textEU Member States are mandated to reach a minimum of 10% renewable energy consumed in transport by 2020. To comply with this goal, biofuels must meet the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) sustainability requirements. Further policy developments at the European level are expected to lead to the progressive substitution of first-generation (food crop-based) with second- (non-edible crops-based) and third-generation (algae and microalgae-based) biofuels.
This paper explores the economic feasibility and environmental sustainability of producing second-generation biofuel in Italy from Brassica Carinata, a non-edible flowering plant of the Brassicaceae family, in a context of rotation with wheat (and eventually other crops). The framework considered allows to rule out issues of ILUC and is highly relevant in a country where extensive monoculture is extremely widespread and there is a high degree of dependence on foreign imports for both biofuels and biofuels-related raw materials, especially from countries such as Indonesia, where the adverse impacts of first-generation biofuel production on the environment are most felt. Using yield and cost data from 5 experimental fields in Italy and taking into account potential returns from the sale of biodiesel and its byproducts, glycerin and expeller/meal, the economic sustainability of the entire biodiesel production chain (cultivation, oil extraction and oil refining) is confirmed. Implementation of the Argonne National Laboratory's GREET life cycle model, suitably adjusted so as to apply it to the BC case, confirms also an high environmental sustainability. The range of positive economic effects and externalities that may be triggered by the development of a BC-derived biofuel production chain justifies some form of policy intervention
Space and the nation: three texts on Aldo Rossi
No full textIn this paper the spatial dimensions of political practice and the historical dimensions of architectural practice are examined. The author argues that these two practices intersect when, in the life of a city and a nation, time is transformed into space. The productivity of death in this regard is explored. In developing this argument, reference is made to the works and writings of Regis Debray and Aldo Rossi, as well as events in the recent political history of South Africa
