Tissue location of resistance in apple to the rosy apple aphid established by electrical penetration graphs
No full textA study of the constitutive resistance of the apple cultivar Florina, Malus domestica Borkh. (Rosaceae), to the rosy apple aphid, Dysaphis plantaginea (Passerini) (Homoptera Aphididae), was performed for the first time by the electrical penetration graph (DC-EPG) system, using the susceptible apple cultivar Smoothe as control. All experiments were conducted with apterous adult virginoparae. The results showed a constitutive resistance in Florina due to a much longer period before the first probe reflecting surface factors. Some weak indications were found for pre-phloem resistance and initiating phloem access was not affected as inferred from equal time to show phloem salivation. However, the complete absence of phloem ingestion indicates a major resistance factor in the phloem sieve elements, most likely in the sieve element sap. Surface factors could have affected tissue related variables and this should be studied further. Anyhow, the strong constitutive resistance in Florina, either on the surface alone or in the phloem as well, effectively prevented reliable experiments on induced resistance, previously detected by molecular methods
Coscienza dell'ordine e ordine della coscienza. Uno studio del pensiero filosofico e sociale di Frederick Denison Maurice
No full textIl presente studio è dedicato ad un'analisi del pensiero filosofico di F. D. Maurice (1805-1872), pastore anglicano, prima professore di letteratura inglese e storia presso il King's College di Londra e poi di filosofia morale e teologia presso l'Università di Cambridge, e si focalizza in particolare sui concetti di conscience e social order, nuclei speculativi in cui convergono i molteplici interessi di questo Autore. Dopo aver presentato una ricostruzione dei suoi anni di formazione, la ricerca considera i primi scritti di Maurice, di carattere etico e antropologico, dai quali emerge una decisa critica sia al soggettivismo razionalista, sia allo scetticismo empirista dell'epoca, e una riproposta dell'oggettività dell'esperienza e della conoscenza morali. Affrontando poi i suoi scritti di carattere socio-politico e di argomento religioso, si analizzano i fondamenti del vivere associato e il modello educativo proposto da Maurice, insieme ai suoi saggi su problemi storici e politici del tempo e alla polemica di argomento gnoseologico e teologico che lo ha opposto a Henry Mansel, a riguardo delle capacità e dei limiti della conoscenza umana. La ricerca considera infine il tema della coscienza collocando la trattazione mauriciana in materia di ontologia, antropologia, gnoseologia ed etica sociale.This thesis is a study and critical analysis of the philosophical work of F. D. Maurice (1805-1872), Anglican priest, first professor of English literature and history at King's College, London, and later professor of morals and theology at Cambridge University. The thesis focuses on Maurice's ideas of conscience and social order, topics which uniquely characterise and best exemplify the divergent and speculative aspects of his thought.
After reconstructing Maurice's education, the thesis considers his first writings about ethics and anthropology: these are characterized by a strong critique of both rationalistic subjectivism and the moral scepticism typical of empiricism. As a response Maurice stressed the objectivity of experience and consequent possibility of a genuinely moral knowledge. Then, considering Maurice's political and social works, the research presents an analysis of the basis of human social life, the pedagogic model proposed by the author, and his essays about the mid 19th century historical and political situation. In the same section, as a means of further elucidation, the thesis evaluates Maurice's debate with Henry Mansel about the capacity and the limits of human knowledge. The present study, finally, considers the topic of conscience, placing his thought within the fields of ontology, anthropology, knowledge, and social ethics
CARLO BETOCCHI - GIOVANNI RABONI: CARTEGGIO 1953 - 1982. EDIZIONE CRITICA E COMMENTATA
No full textIl lavoro offre l’edizione critica e commentata del carteggio inedito tra Carlo Betocchi e Giovanni Raboni, disteso lungo un arco cronologico trentennale, fra il 1953 e il 1982. Esso consta di trecentododici lettere, centocinquantasei per ciascun corrispondente, e di un cospicuo numero di allegati: duecentotrentatre testi poetici (circa novanta inediti), quattro saggi e sette lettere, delle quali tre di Betocchi indirizzate ad altri destinatari e quattro a firma di Giambattista Vicari, Gianfranco Contini e Tommaso Landolfi. L’edizione critica presenta in calce a ogni documento un apparato suddiviso in tre fasce: la prima riporta le notizie materiali relative al documento stesso, la seconda accoglie le correzioni dell’autore e altre informazioni, come per esempio le lezioni originali corrette a testo, e la terza è riservata a essenziali note di commento necessarie per contestualizzare e interpretare il contenuto delle lettere. L’introduzione che precede la corrispondenza riporta la descrizione del carteggio, ne riassume i principali temi e propone riflessioni intorno al rapporto tra i due poeti, alla loro vita, alla produzione poetica. La corrispondenza permette di osservare da vicino, seguendone le fasi cronologiche, il rapporto tra un maestro e un discepolo (è stato proprio Betocchi infatti a ‘scoprire’ il giovanissimo Raboni e a farlo conoscere) e di approfondire la vicenda umana e letteraria di due importanti figure del panorama culturale novecentesco.The paper offers a critical and commented edition of the unpublished over thirty years correspondence between Carlo Betocchi and Giovanni Raboni (1953-1982). It consists of three hundred and twelve letters, one hundred fifty-six for each correspondent, and a large number of attachments: two hundred and thirty texts (about ninety of which unpublished), four essays and seven letters. Three of them are written by Betocchi to other recipients and four are signed by Giambattista Vicari, Gianfranco Contini and Tommaso Landolfi. The apparatus at the end of each document is divided in three parts: (1) the material informations of the document itself; (2) the corrections of the author and other information, such as the original text-correct lessons; (3) essential commentary necessary to contextualize and interpret the content of the letters. The introductory chapters describe the correspondence, summarize the main themes and reflect on the relationship between the two poets, their life, poetic production. The center of this correspondence is the mentor-disciple relationship in its chronological development. The young Raboni indeed owes his reputation to Betocchi. Through their letters literary and human facets of two important figures of the Italian twentieth century cultural panorama are critically shown
LEGGERE IL "LIBRO APERTO". UN'INTRODUZIONE AL "CANNOCCHIALE ARISTOTELICO"
No full textIl lavoro consiste in un’introduzione al "Cannocchiale aristotelico" di Emanuele Tesauro, che ne affronta le principali questioni testuali e interpretative proponendo dati aggiornati e nuovi approcci critici. Il primo capitolo tratta l’aspetto filologico. Sono ricostruiti la storia del testo e l’ambiente in cui esso prende forma; sono studiate le varianti delle edizioni riviste dall’autore; è proposta una nuova guida alla struttura definitiva dell’opera. Il secondo capitolo tratta i meccanismi compositivi del testo. Si studia, innanzi tutto, la fitta rete intertestuale, individuando le fonti e i metodi del loro utilizzo. Si propone poi un’interpretazione innovativa del tessuto narrativo dell’opera, fondato sul dialogo tra l’autore e Aristotele, e l’autore e il lettore: la conclusione è che quest’ultimo è invitato a partecipare dalla forma drammatica del testo, che ne favorisce lo sviluppo dell’apprendimento e, al tempo stesso, lo intrattiene. Il terzo capitolo è dedicato allo stile e all’uso della retorica. Dopo aver dibattuto la vicinanza al genere del panegirico in prosa, si mostrano le peculiarità del "Cannocchiale", che sfrutta tutte le possibilità della letteratura barocca per trasmettere più efficacemente, mostrandone concretamente i meccanismi, la teoria e la pratica delle argutezze.This introduction to Emanuele Tesauro’s “Il Cannocchiale aristotelico” provides for the first time a unified research on different aspects of one of the most complex and eminent treaty of the Seventeenth Century European literature. First, philological questions are investigated, involving, through the treatment of new data, the history of the text, changes between the editions approved by the author and the general structure. Then, intertextual aspects, as quotations and imitations, are clarified, in order to make understandable the complex work of the author on the text. In add, a narrative pattern is discovered above the highly rhetorical composition of examples: it works as a dramatic dialogue on witty matters between the author and Aristotle, and then the author and the reader, who is fascinated and involved in this formative dramatization. The final chapter is dedicated to the style and the use of rhetoric. A connection with oratorical genres, such as panegyric, is pointed out, as are the philosophical peculiarities of the “Cannocchiale aristotelico”, a guide for human understanding which uses for its aim all the potentialities of the Baroque literature
Albert Camus e il teatro di un uomo in rivolta
No full textAbstract In this paper we shall look Camus’ last text on dramatic art in order to introduce his most general thought about the deep and problematic relationship that exists between theatre, life and political action. Perché faccio teatro? [«Why do I deal with theatre?») is a speech that Camus prepared for a television broadcast transmitted on May 12 1959: the author not only explained where his profound passion for drama came from, but also explicitly answered critics who had accused him of backing out of his role of intellectual, due to his increasingly intensive engagement on the Parisian stages. Still, at that very politically critical time, Camus’ poetics gave a stronger and stronger importance to drama, not only as the place where political engagement and pleasure might find balance, but also for its innate capability of putting man in an experimental human and identity condition, plural and free from any monism. His “I rebel, therefore we are” is not only the statement of a thinker but also the claim of a playwright who, in a rather rhetorical way, asks himself and asks us: “is not the life on the stage a good formula for the future society?”. In this sense, his activity in the late 50s, which mainly focused on dramatic direction, proves that at that time Camus foresaw staging practice as much more than a metaphor of a political action, dominated by Gramscian intellectual positions: he considered it as the very way for experimenting (word for word) a communitarian practice through which he would carry on the research of the tragical emotion that he had already approached in his dramaturgy. By reflecting about this project of life, which was abruptly interrupted by the writer’s premature death (1960), it is possible to outline an idea of theatre that Camus more precisely defined during his last years but which had been, since the beginning, the source of Camus’ being an artist
The annulment of marriage due to impotence obtained by Anna Maria Pallavicini: unpublished materials and perspectives of an eighteenth-century case
No full textNel febbraio del 1716, dopo quasi tre anni di matrimonio, la nobile Anna Maria Pallavicini (1698-1751) iniziò la battaglia per ottenere l’annullamento delle sue nozze con Giovan Giacomo Imperiale, anch’egli illustre esponente del patriziato ligure. La documentazione −manoscritta e a stampa− del complesso iter giuridico che portò nel 1720 all’ottenimento dell’annullamento è conservata negli archivi bolognesi e per la prima volta viene ora presentata e studiata. Infatti questa causa matrimoniale venne iniziata a Genova, ma terminò il suo iter davanti alla romana Congregazione del Concilio di cui, in quegli anni, era secretario Prospero Lambertini. Sarà questi il responsabile del trasferimento delle carte e dei documenti di tutto il processo a Bologna. La controversia tra i due coniugi, provocata dalla richiesta di Anna Maria Pallavicini di annullamento a causa dell’impotenza insanabile e perpetua del marito e dunque della sua inabilità a consumare l’atto matrimoniale, darà vita ad un interessante percorso giuridico materiato dai racconti dei testimoni vicini ai due sposi, dai riconoscimenti medici effettuati sia sul corpo del marito come quelli richiesti e compiuti su Anna Maria, dalle fasi e metodologie di indagine compiute sulla falsariga dell’autorevole ed allora universalmente accettata dottrina del gesuita Tomás Sánchez (1550-1610) autore, tra altre opere, dei tre volumi De sancto matrimonii sacramento disputationum. Dopo una lunga e accesa battaglia, nella quale pesò non poco il timore che la controversia potesse scatenare contrasti e scontri lesivi della pace della Serenissima Repubblica, la Pallavicini ottenne il riconoscimento della sua richiesta divenendo un precedente per altre cause successive.En febrero de 1716, después de casi tres años de matrimonio, la noble Anna Maria Pallavicini (1698-1751) comenzaba su particular batalla para obtener la anulación de su matrimonio con Gio. Giacomo Imperiale, ilustre exponente del patriciado ligur. La documentación −manuscrita e impresa− del complejo proceso jurídico que en 1720 condujo a la obtención de la anulación se conserva en los archivos boloñeses y ahora por primera vez ve la luz. De hecho, la causa de nulidad iniciada en Génova terminó su trámite ante la romana Congregación del Concilio de la que, en aquellos años, era secretario Próspero Lambertini. El será el autor del traslado de los papeles y documentos de todo el proceso a Bolonia. El litigio entre los dos cónyuges, provocado por la demanda de nulidad por parte de la Pallavicini debido a la impotencia del marido y por tanto a su incapacidad para consumar el matrimonio, da vida a un interesante recorrido jurídico materializado en los relatos de los testigos cercanos a la pareja, en los exámenes médicos efectuados tanto al cuerpo del marido como los solicitados y realizados a Anna Maria, y en las fases y la metodología de investigación llevadas a cabo conforme a la prestigiosa y entonces universalmente aceptada doctrina del jesuita Tomás Sánchez (1550-1610) autor, entre otras obras, de los tres volúmenes De sancto matrimonii sacramento disputationum. Tras una larga y acalorada batalla, en la que pesó y no poco el temor de que el conflicto pudiese desencadenar enfrentamientos y disturbios perjudiciales para la paz de Génova, la Serenissima Repubblica, la Pallavicini obtuvo el reconocimiento de su solicitud convirtiéndose así en un precedente para futuras demandas.In February 1716, after almost three years of marriage, the noble Anna Maria Pallavicini (1698-1751) began the battle to obtain the annulment of her wedding with Gio. Giacomo Imperiale, also an illustrious exponent of the Ligurian patriciate. The documentation −handwritten and printed− of the complex legal process which led to the annulment in 1720 is kept in the archives of Bologna and is now being presented and studied for the first time. In fact, the cause for the annulment begun in Genoa ended its process before the Roman Congregation of the Council of which, in those years, Prospero Lambertini was secretary. He will be responsible for transferring the papers and documents of the whole process to Bologna. He dispute between the two spouses, caused by Pallavicini’s request for annulment due to the husband’s impotence and therefore his inability to consummate the marriage contract, will give life to an interesting legal path materialized by the accounts of witnesses close to the two spouses, from the medical recognitions carried out both on the body of her husband and those requested and carried out on Anna Maria, from the phases and methodologies of investigation carried out along the lines of the authoritative and then universally accepted doctrine of the Jesuit Tomas Sanchez (1550-1610) author, among other works, of the three volumes De sancto matrimonii sacramento disputationum. After a long and heated battle, in which the fear that the controversy could unleash conflicts and clashes detrimental to the peace of the Genova weighed heavily, Pallavicini obtained recognition of her request, becoming a precedent for other subsequent causes
Investigating de novo L-cysteine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the development of new antimicrobials
No full textPart 1: EIA and landforms
No full textA landform can be considered as a geomorphologic asset. It can be regarded as such not only on the basis of scenic, social, economic and cultural value, but also on the basis of other criteria related to the more general scientific concept of an asset. The methods for recognizing and evaluating geomorphologic assets on a scientific basis can be subdivided into two phases: 1) geomorphologic survey and mapping, and 2) selection from the geomorphologic maps of those landforms that may be considered as assets. Here, evaluations of geomorphologic assets in three different areas are presented. -from Author
