Process for improving the efficiency of a spirits distillate ageing
No full textThe present invention relates to a process for improving the efficiency of a spirits
distillate ageing comprising the following steps: a) preparing: at least one reactor,
wood chips or cubes, at least one ultrasound source, a distillate to be submitted to
5 ageing; b) introducing the wood chips or cubes and the distillate into the at least one
reactor; c) inserting the at least one reactor prepared in the previous step into the at
least one ultrasound source; d) operating the ultrasound source and allowing the
distillate to age, wherein: in step a) of preparing the at least one reactor, wood chips or
cubes, at least one ultrasound source, a distillate to be submitted to ageing, wood chips
or cubes whose surface area is between 70 and 500 cm2
10 per litre of distillate are used;
step d) of operating the at least one ultrasound source and allowing the distillate to age
is carried out in the absence of light, at a temperature between 0 °C and 40 °C, with a
number of operating-rest cycles of the at least one ultrasound source between 200 and
4500
Biobased Materials as Promising Tools for the Slow-Release of Urea
No full textThe exponential growth of the world's population in recent years increases the necessity to optimize the technologies associated with the agricultural sector. In this direction, a smart use of fertilizers is able to guarantee high productivity, avoiding problems related to fertilizers losses from volatilization and leaching with consequent pollution issues. An extremely promising solution is represented by slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) that are able to increase the efficiency of fertilizers, lowering their application frequency and preserving the environment but still satisfying the nitrogen requirement of the plants. However, most of the devices used come from non-renewable sources with consequent problems related to environmental pollution. So, in the last years, research efforts moved to materials that present similar release properties but, at the same time, are cheap, environmental friendly and biodegradable. The aim of this Review is to focus on biobased polymeric devices used as slow release systems of urea. In particular, strong attention will be dedicated to different polymers and different formulation strategies in order to understand the high amount of possibilities and performances of these devices
The addition of hyaluronic acid in chemical hydrogels can tune the physical properties and degradability
No full textIn the last decades hydrogels have demonstrated to be promising in multiple uses in medicine as controlled drug delivery systems and scaffolds for tissue engineering. In this fields a careful material design is crucial to achieve suitable and desired properties. In the last ten years we developed agarose-carbomer based hydrogels that exhibited good performances to repair damaged tissue working as cell carrier and sustaining the release of drugs. However the too long degradation kinetics associated to this formulation could represent an hindrance to tissue regrowth and so a limitation to its clinical application. In order to tune matrix degradability we modified the 3D network of agarose-carbomer hydrogels with hyaluronic acid chains that can work as degradable cross-links. The main advantages in using a polymer instead of small degradable cross-linkers reside in the possibility to take part to the entire network with the consequent possibility to tune so physico-chemical properties

The Poem of Memory. "Triumphi"
No full textWriting of the "Triumphi" Fabio Finotti finds that its author undercuts a medieval idea of ascent to God in the structural progression from Love to Chastity, Death, Fame, Time, and Eternity. Here Petrarch programmatically counters Dante, transforming a universal, eschatological vision into a subjective, cultural and psychological experience

His publications include two books and more than 20 articles in internationally peer-reviewed space law and policy journals, such as Space Policy, the German Journal of Air and Space Law, the Journal of Space Law, etc.
He holds a PhD in International Space Law (Leiden University) and an Advanced LL.M in International Relations (Bologna University, Italy). He is Member of the International Institute of Space Law (IISL), European Centre for Space Law (ECSL), and the Asian Society of International Law (ASIL). He is the recipient of the 2007 Diederiks-Verschoor award for the best paper submitted by an author not older than 40 years to the International Institute of Space Law (IISL) during the 58th International Astronautical Congress of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF).https://commons.erau.edu/stm-images/1076/thumbnail.jp
Per un ritratto di André Tosel
No full textIn memory of André Tosel, who passed away last March 14th in his hometown Nice, «Gramsciana» publishes an article on Gramsci in France that he had sent to this journal as a contribution to the section «My Gramsci». The editor, Fabio Frosini, prefaces the text with a quick portrait of Tosel as a philosophy professor, an influential Marxist intellectual, a critic of contemporary capitalism, as well as the author of landmark books on Spinoza, Kant and Marx and, above all, one of the most important Gramsci scholars of the last 50 years
