"Un personaggio di fiaba generoso e gentile". O'Tama Kiyohara e l'amicizia con Mario ed Elisa Oliveri
No full textIl testo ricostruisce - anche attraverso alcuni documenti inediti - il quadro dei rapporti fra il poeta ed editore Mario Oliveri (1900-1963), lo scultore Vincenzo Ragusa e sua moglie, la pittrice O'Tama Kiyohara, dal 1925 sino al ritorno di O'Tama in Giappone, nel settembre 1932
Nel labirinto della notte
No full textIl testo analizza le fonti letterarie e la drammaturgia dell'opera "Notte per me luminosa" (soggetto/testo di Dario Oliveri - musica di Marco Betta), realizzata su commissione del Teatro Comunale di Modena nell'ambito delle celebrazioni del 500° anniversario della prima edizione dell'"Orlando furioso" di Ludovico Ariosto. Nella parte conclusiva vengono affrontati alcuni problemi legati alla nascita del melodramma e al problema della "mancanza di naturalezza" e del rapporto con il tema aristotelico della "verosimiglianza"
Cinnamomum Oliveri F. M. Bailey Leaf Solvent Extractions Inhibit the Growth of a Panel of Pathogenic Bacteria
No full textIntroduction: Cinnamomum oliveri F. M. Bailey is a rain forest tree native to Australia. Decoctions, infusions and essential oils produced from the leaves were used traditionally to treat a variety of bacterial diseases. Despite this, C. oliveri leaf extractions have not been rigorously examined for antibacterial properties against many pathogens. Methods: The antimicrobial activity of C. oliveri leaf extractions was investigated by disc diffusion and growth time course assays against a panel of pathogenic bacteria. The growth inhibitory activity was quantified by MIC determination. Toxicity was determined using the Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay. Results: C. oliveri leaf solvent extractions inhibited the growth of a wide range of bacterial species. Growth of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria was inhibited by the C. oliveri leaf extracts to approximately the same extent. The methanolic extracts were generally most potent growth inhibitors. The methanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate C. oliveri leaf extracts were particularly potent inhibitors of P. mirabilis growth, with MIC values as low as 127 μg/mL (methanolic extract). A. coli, K. pneumoniae and B. cereus were also particularly susceptible to the methanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts, with MIC values generally substantially <1000 μg/ mL. The antibacterial activity of the methanolic C. oliveri leaf extract was further investigated by growth time course assays which showed significant growth inhibition in cultures of E. coli, K. pneumoniae and P. mirabilis within 1 h of exposure. All extracts were determined to be nontoxic in the Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay, indicating their safety for internal use as well as for topical uses. Conclusions: The lack of toxicity of the C. oliveri leaf extracts and their growth inhibitory bioactivity against a panel of pathogenic bacteria partially validate the traditional usage of these species to treat bacterial diseases and indicate their potential in the development of antiseptic agents.Full Tex
Cronologia delle opere di Claude Debussy e di Gabriele D'Annunzio
No full textIl testo traccia una dettagliata cronologia della vita e delle opere di Debussy e D'Annunzio (autori del "Martirio di San Sebastiano), in relazione ai principali eventi della cronaca musicale artistica e politico-sociale del periodo compreso tra il 1862 e il 193
Prema Murthy, Space Invaders ; Michael Oliveri, Fast Food, Hydrocarbons and Waves in Outer Space
Full text linkTwo curated solo exhibitions by artists Prema Murthy and Michael Oliveri that responded, in different ways, to technological visions of, and interventions with, outer space and infinity.
For ‘Space Invaders’ Prema Murthy presented digital prints and animation that appropriate the visual language of video games, 17th century baroque, and Buddhist paintings. Using vector lines inspired by arcade games, Murthy set twisted figures against a black leather backdrop resonant of outer space.
‘Fast Food, Hydrocarbons and Waves in Outer Space’ by Michael Oliveri drew inspiration from scientific discoveries and new theories of a finite universe. His installations spanning several galleries combined experimental video, sculpture, and science. One gallery presented the soil-free fast-growing food facility “NASA Nourishment” in tandem with NASA exploration video footage, with another installation incorporated glass sculptures of hydrocarbon models on Styrofoam surfaces that suggest the surface of Mars

Imagery and perception in subjects with acquired brain damage
No full textLe immagini mentali sono un analogo della percezione? Studiando i pazienti con danni cerebrali, abbiamo visto che le menomazioni percettive sono spesso associate a limitazioni nella capacità di creare immagini (Farah 1988, 2000). Nella recente letteratura tuttavia sono riportati casi di doppia dissociazione, in cui funzioni percettive sono preservate e quelle immaginative danneggiate, o viceversa, funzioni percettive danneggiate ma intatta capacità immaginativa. Nel seguente studio l’obiettivo è indagare i rapporti tra la percezione e immaginazione in pazienti con danno cerebrale, in 5 diversi domini: forme, colori, volti, materiale ortografico e relazioni spaziali. Nel primo studio l'obiettivo era di esplorare le immagini mentali e la capacità di percezione visiva in pazienti con lesioni cerebrali attraverso una batteria di test sviluppata da Bachoud Levi, Bartolomeo, Chokron nel 2001 e adattata per il campione italiano da Antonietti, Oliveri, Incorpora et al. (2008). In un secondo studio abbiamo indagato le relazioni tra imagery e stile cognitivo visualizzatore/verbalizzatore, proponendo 2 questionari (VVQ e QSVV). Infine in un terzo studio, attraverso indagini strumentali (DTI, TAC, RMN) in un gruppo di pazienti con danno focale e deficit specifici di imagery, abbiamo individuato le correlazioni tra deficit nei diversi domini dell’imagery e della percezione con i danni corrispondenti a livello neurale.Is imagery an analogous of perception? By studying patients with brain damage we saw that perceptual impairments are often associated to limitations in the ability to create images (Farah 1988, 2000). In recent literature we found cases of double dissociation, in which perceptual functions are preserved and those imaginative impaired or, vice versa, there are damaged perception functions but intact imaginative capacity.
We aim to investigate the relationships between perception and imagery in patients with brain damage, in 5 different domains: shapes, colour, faces, orthographic material and spatial relationships.
In the first study the aim was to explore mental imagery and visual perception skills in patients with brain injury through a battery of tests developed by Bachoud-Lèvi, Bartolomeo, Chokron in 2001, and readapted for the Italian sample by Antonietti, Oliveri, Incorpora et aal (2008). In a second study we investigated the relationships between imagery test performance and visualizer/verbalizer cognitive style, detected by proposing 2 questionnaires (VVQ and QSVV). Finally in a third study, through instrumental investigations (DTI, TAC, MRI) in a group of patient with focal damage and specific imagery deficit, we aimed to correlate imagery and perception deficits to corresponding impairment in neural correlates

Taxonomic revision of the marbled skink (Cyclodina oliveri, Reptilia: skink (Cyclodina oliveri, Reptilia: description of a new species
No full textWe have completed a taxonomic revision of the New Zealand marbled skink (Cyclodina oliveri) species complex. Morphological analyses and mitochondrial sequence data (ND2, ND4, Cytochrome b; Total 1933 bp) are used to describe a new taxon (commonly known as the "Mokohinau" skink) and redefine C. oliveri. The morphological and molecular data indicate that C. oliveri is distributed on the Poor Knights Islands, Mercury Islands and Aldermen Islands. The new species is restricted to the Mokohinau Islands, Hen and Chickens group, Little Barrier Island and Great Barrier Island. Our data demonstrate that there is no support for the separation of the Poor Knights Islands population of C. oliveri from those on the Mercury Islands and Aldermen Islands. The genetic data indicate that C. whitakeri is part of the C. oliveri species group. Divergence time estimates indicate that the C. oliveri species complex diverged during the late-Miocene, with further divergences among island groups in C. oliveri including the origin of the new taxon during the late-Pliocene and mid-Pleistocene. We present a diagnostic key for Cyclodina
