Scultura - Testa di Milone
No full textTesta maschile in marmo realizzata in epoca rinascimentale di cui, sulla base di evidenti affinità e somiglianze, si riconosce il modello nel gesso del cosiddetto Milicho, appartenente alla stessa collezione Mantova Benavides (MB69). Questo rapporto di dipendenza testimonia, qui come in altri casi, l\u27uso dei gessi Benavides come modelli da riprodurre in diversi materiali, tant\u27è che del Milone sono note numerose traduzioni pittoriche, scultoree e plastiche. In particolare è interessante la citazione pittorica nel ciclo di affreschi della Sala dei Giganti (1539-1541) dove il Milone viene preso a modello per la rappresentazione delle sembianze di Quinto Fabio Rulliano
La pro Milone come fonte storica
No full textLa tesi si propone di definire quale sia il valore dell’oratio pro Milone di Cicerone come fonte storica degli eventi che vanno dalla morte di Clodio (18 gennaio del 52 a. C.) al processo contro Milone (8 aprile del 52 a. C.). Il metodo di indagine riprende le linee indicate da Andrew Lintott nel suo saggio Cicero as Evidence. A Historian’s Companion (Oxford 2008), applicate però ad un’unica opera ciceroniana: le testimonianze offerte dalla pro Milone sono raccolte, analizzate e confrontate con le testimonianze delle altre fonti, prima fra tutte il commento di Quinto Asconio Pediano (I sec. d. C.) allo scopo sia di individuare i dati storici sia di cogliere il processo di selezione e manipolazione a cui questi dati vengono sottoposti da Cicerone. La tesi si articola in tre parti: nella prima vengono presentati i protagonisti degli eventi storici trattati e gli autori delle fonti (Cicerone, Milone, Metello Scipione, Asconio); la seconda parte contiene il testo (con apparato critico) e la traduzione della pro Milone e del commento di Asconio alla Miloniana; la terza parte (Punti di luce) è dedicata più specificamente al tema centrale della tesi, con una focalizzazione su alcuni argomenti chiave (la ricostruzione della pugna Bovillana e della morte di Clodio; la localizzazione del delitto; il funerale di Clodio; la rappresentazione dell’accusa all’interno della Miloniana; i riferimenti alla “gente comune” nella pro Milone; la discussione di un dettaglio assente in Cicerone). Seguono infine due appendici, la prima contenente una prosopografia essenziale, e la seconda dedicata ad un graffito di Terracina che sembra alludere alla morte di Clodio
Occurrence of D-aspartic acid and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid in rat neuroendocrine tissues and their role in the modulation of luteinizing hormone and growth hormone release
No full textUsing two specific and sensitive fluorometric/HPLC methods and a GC-MS method, alone and in combination with D-aspartate oxidase, we have demonstrated for the first time that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), in addition to D-aspartate (D-Asp), is endogenously present as a natural molecule in rat nervous system and endocrine glands. Both of these amino acids are mostly concentrated at nmol/g levels in the adenohypophysis, hypothalamus, brain, and testis. The adenohypophysis maximally showed the ability to accumulate D-Asp when the latter is exogenously administered. In vivo experiments, consisting of the i.p. injection of D-Asp, showed that D-Asp induced both growth hormone and luteinizing hormone (LH) release. However, in vitro experiments showed that D-Asp was able to induce LH release from adenohypophysis only when this gland was co-incubated with the hypothalamus. This is because D-Asp also induces the release of GnRH from the hypothalamus, which in turn is directly responsible for the D-Asp-induced LH secretion from the pituitary gland. Compared to D-Asp, NMDA elicits its hormone release action at concentrations similar to 100-fold lower than D-Asp. D-AP5, a specific NMDA receptor antagonist, inhibited D-Asp and NMDA hormonal activity, demonstrating that these actions are mediated by NMDA receptors. NMDA is biosynthesized from D-Asp by an S-adeno- sylmethionine-dependent enzyme, which we tentatively denominated as NMDA synthase.-D'Aniello, A., Di Fiore, M. M., Fisher, G.

A Simulation of daylight levels for the determination of visual comfort in large spaces
No full textIn sizable environments, such as the collective areas
of a big university building, characterised by very
long corridors, large hallways and broad glazed
surfaces, the daytime illumination factor is often only
excellent near to the latter, due to their
predominantly horizontal, rather than vertical, nature.
His study, which has been carried out thanks to a
simulation software, shows the results of a
correlation between light contributions, come out
from the wide glass surface and those of a big
skylight which cross lenghtways the main part of the
building.
Such results have been compared with some
instrumental measurements considering the shifting
and getting from them important informations on
simulations reliability
Qualità dell'aria in ambienti scolastici: Valutazione dei livelli di concentrazione di composti organici volatili (VOC) e di materiale particolato (PM10).
No full textThe energy certification of buidings through the dynamic simulation of variable consumption
No full textThe problem of energy quality control in buildings
was officially recognised for the first time at a
European level in the EEC directive no. 93/76 of
1993. This directive represented the formal act
of an undertaking to promote actions that would
lead to a reduction in global carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions. Article 2 of this directive established that states should carry out programmes concerning the energy certification of buildings, which were consistent in the description of their energy parameters, so as to allow future users of a building to know and understand its energy efficiency.
Italy acknowledged this directive, along with
the subsequent European directive 2002/91/CE on
energy efficiency in the building industry, with the Legislative Decree 192 of 2005

Solar cooling: study on the technical-economic feasibility of a plant in a hotel.
No full textSolar air conditioning allows more energy savings than air conventional
conditioning plants. Just like the thermal solar systems for heat production destined
to large consumers, solar air conditioning represents a technology that turns out to
be economically more favorable. Its employment for the summer air conditioning of
buildings represents today an ulterior and very interesting field of application. This
article shows the results of a study on the technical-economic feasibility of a solar
cooling plant realized in a hotel in South Italy. Just like the air conditioning load
produced by electric power, hot water produced by thermal solar plants has a
periodic character which, in both cases, is higher in the summer period. The
coincidence on a yearly base of these two factors makes solar cooling particularly
interesting both from the environmental and economic point of view, involving a
possible future and natural drop of the plant set-up costs. Greater accessibility to the
available technical opportunities and, above all, to the incentives for the necessary
investments could accelerate the development of this remarkably interesting
technology
