La Statale al BeKKa
No full textIntroduzione al volume "SceKspir al Bekka. Romeo Montecchi dietro le sbarre dell'Istituto Penale Minorile Beccaria", dedicato a un’avvincente esperienza di teatro in carcere. In un’insolita aula di tribunale un gruppo di giovani detenuti dell’area penale interna ed esterna, con la complicità di studenti dell’università Statale di Milano e giovani attori della compagnia Puntozero, portano a giudizio Romeo Montecchi per l’omicidio di Tebaldo Capuleti secondo le procedure del vigente Codice del processo penale minorile.Introduction to the volume "SceKspir al BeKKa. Romeo Montecchi dietro le sbarre dell'Istituto Penale Minorile Beccaria", dealing with a successful pioneering drama workshop in prison. In an unusual courtroom a group of young prisoners and others on probation, students from Milan University and young actors from the Puntozero theatre company, put Romeo Montague on trial for the murder of Tybalt Capulet. The trial unfolds according to the present day judicial system
Synchronization in Networks of Hindmarsh-Rose Neurons
No full textSynchronization is deemed to play an important role in information processing in many neuronal systems. In this work, using a well known technique due to Pecora and Carroll, we investigate the existence of a synchronous state and the bifurcation diagram of a network of synaptically coupled neurons described by the Hindmarsh-Rose model. Through the analysis of the bifurcation diagram, the different dynamics of the possible synchronous states are evidenced. Furthermore, the influence of the topology on the synchronization properties of the network is shown through an exampl

Advanced ScanSAR Capabilities Enabled by Optimized Antenna Array Azimuth Radiation Patterns: the ROSE-L Case Study
No full textIn the future ROSE-L mission, supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the Copernicus Expansion Programme, different advanced acquisition techniques will be simultaneously experienced, namely, ScanSAR, Scan On Receive and Digital Beam Forming on receive. This work shows that additional ScanSAR capabilities with respect to those achievable through the current ROSE-L system design may be enabled through proper shaping of the azimuth pattern of the TX radar antenna. In particular, we show that without upsetting the current system architecture, and properly acting only on the distribution of the input excitations of the elements of the currently designed TX array antenna, we can obtain a significant mitigation of the scalloping effect and/or move from a single azimuth look ScanSAR configuration to a more attractive two-look one
Did Plant Patents Create the American Rose?
No full textThe Plant Patent Act of 1930 was the first step towards creating property rights for biological innovation: it introduced patent rights for asexually-propagated plants. This paper uses data on plant patents and registrations of new varieties to examine whether the Act encouraged innovation. Nearly half of all plant patents between 1931 and 1970 were for roses. Large commercial nurseries, which began to build mass hybridization programs in the 1940s, accounted for most of these patents, suggesting that the new intellectual property rights may have helped to encourage the development of a commercial rose breeding industry. Data on registrations of newly-created roses, however, yield no evidence of an increase in innovation: less than 20 percent of new roses were patented, European breeders continued to create most new roses, and there was no increase in the number of new varieties per year after 1931.
Carotenoids, tocochromanols and chlorophylls in sea buckthorn berries (Hippophae rhamnoides) and Rose Hips (Rosa sp.)
No full textConsumption of fruits and berries have positive effects on human health by reducing the risk of e.g. cardiovascular diseases, age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, and different forms of cancer. These positive effects are believed to be related to the high content of bioactive compounds such as different antioxidants in fruits and berries. Increased intake of bioactive compounds can be promoted by selecting species/cultivars with high contents and by harvesting at the optimal time. Recent interest for cultivating sea buckthorn berries and rose hips partly depends on their more or less well documented health related statements. Products containing sea buckthorn berries or rose hips are steadily growing in number on the market and there is a need for increasing the knowledge of the content of the bioactive compounds in the fruit and berry raw material. This thesis investigated the content of carotenoids, tocochromanols (tocopherols and tocotrienols) and chlorophylls in berries from different cultivars of sea buckhorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) and fruits from different species of roses (Rosa sp.) during the harvest period of three consecutive years. The carotenoid and tocopherol content were also investigated during processing and storage in juices with sea buckthorn berries and rose hips as ingredients. Carotenoids and tocochromanols are fat-soluble antioxidants, some of which have activity as pro-vitamin A and vitamin E. All analyses were carried out by HPLC on extracts made from lyophilised material. The concentration of carotenoids, tocochromanols and chlorophylls generally varied depending on cultivar/species and over the ripening period in both sea buckthorn berries and rose hips. This variation was not simultaneous for different compounds of the same type, e.g. all carotenoids did not show similar variation. For carotenoid content, harvesting time and choice of cultivar were more important than year of harvest, and a general increase occurred over the season. The tocochromanol content was mostly influenced by cultivar/species and year of harvest, although vitamin E activity generally decreased during ripening. The chlorophyll content decreased during ripening, when the fruits/berries changed colour from green to yellow-red, and proved suitable for use as a maturity marker of optimal harvesting time
