Feeding activity of the flatid planthopper Metcalfa pruinosa (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea)
No full textThe North American flatid planthopper Metcalfa pruinosa (Say) (Hemiptera: Flatidae), which has
spread throughout much of southern Europe since its introduction some thirty years ago, has been the
focus of a number of morphological, ecological, and behavioral studies (Alma, 2000; Wilson and Lucchi,
2000, 2001; Lucchi and Mazzoni, 2004). In Europe, this insect can reach high densities on a variety of
economically important woody plants. These planthoppers feed by sucking phloem sap and produce
copious amounts of honeydew because they lack a filter chamber and have a midgut cellular membrane
which prevents the efficient uptake of sugars (Lucchi et al., 1999). Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.)
(Hymenoptera: Apidae) collect honeydew produced by M. pruinosa and utilize it to manufacture honey
(Lucchi, 1997). This honey is harvested by apiarists in Italy and southern France and marketed as ‘‘Meile
di Melata di Metcalfa’’ (5Metcalfa honey) (Lucchi, 2000). Field observations indicate that honeybees
collect most of the honeydew in the early morning and at sunset (Barbattini et al., 1997). This restriction of
honeybee activity to these times is likely due to the relative availability of honeydew and the fact that
honeydew dries quickly during the heat of the day.
In the present study we detailed the feeding activity schedules of fifth instar nymphs and adults of M.
pruinosa by measuring honeydew production

The Lettere of Andrea Calmo: authorial artifices and historical reality
No full textopenNonostante l’edizione di Vittorio Rossi del 1888, la raccolta di "ingegnosi cheribizzi" e di "fantastiche fantasie" di Andrea Calmo è ancora avvolta da un certo mistero. L’autore, dissimulando la propria identità dietro alla “maschera” dell’umile pescatore veneziano, è stato in grado di offrire uno spaccato della cultura e della società nella Venezia cinquecentesca.
In particolare, è il quarto libro delle Lettere ad aver suscitato maggiore interesse tra gli studiosi ed i lettori: pubblicato nel 1566, a diversi anni di distanza dai primi tre, questo libro si distingue per il fatto che tutte le epistole sono indirizzate a delle donne immaginarie o realmente esistite.
In questa sede si propone, in primo luogo, uno studio della biografia del Calmo accompagnata da un’analisi del contesto storico-culturale della Venezia cinquecentesca; in secondo luogo, invece, viene proposto un commento di alcune lettere dell’ultimo libro dell’opera calmiana, che cerchi di far luce principalmente sull’aspetto linguistico e contenutistico del testo.Despite Vittorio Rossi's 1888 edition, Andrea Calmo's collection of "ingegnosi cheribizzi" and "fantastiche fantasie" is still shrouded in a certain mystery. The author, dissimulating his own identity behind the "mask" of the humble Venetian fisherman, was able to offer a cross-section of culture and society in sixteenth-century Venice.
In particular, it is the fourth book of the Letters that has aroused greater interest among scholars and readers: published in 1566, several years after the first three, this book stands out for the fact that all the epistles are addressed to women imaginary or actually existed.
Here we propose, first of all, a study of Calmo's biography accompanied by an analysis of the historical-cultural context of sixteenth-century Venice; secondly, however, a commentary on some letters from the last book of Calmo's work is proposed, which seeks to shed light mainly on the linguistic and content aspect of the text
Trusted Tales: Creating Authenticity in Literary Representations from Ex-Yugoslavia
No full textThis research deals with questions of authority and authenticity and how they are expressed, constructed, and appropriated within the Anglophone book market. It considers the body of literature written about ex-Yugoslavia since the 1990s Balkan conflicts by exiled writers from the region which has entered the international literary canon. Books’ routes from original publishers into English translation are discussed through practices of trust, one of the crucial social devices underpinning their exchange. Within these cross-cultural processes, the role of cultural brokers is crucial. Symbolic and cultural resources are specifically mobilised through their powerful author brands.
By exploring authenticity in the context of book publishing, I further look at how ideas and practices of community are employed and negotiated by writers and those who promote their books. My field is multi-sited and fluid, reflecting how different individual and national positions are enacted and performed through strategies ranging from unconscious dispositions to deliberate intentions. This research thus brings together ideas of the author as an authentic, representative voice together with exile as a position that grants them a new lease of relevancy in the post-socialist context.
Although ex-Yugoslav books occupy a ‘high end’ niche of the UK market, constrained by commercial as well as political, cultural, and institutional forces, in public discourse ideas of the ‘free market’ and ‘free speech’ are mobilised to produce various types of modernisation narratives. The (post)socialist production of literature is perceived as having to ‘evolve’ into a capitalist model: this would allow not only healthy competition and consumer choice but guarantee an individual writer ‘free speech’ as a basic human right. Therefore, the most general question this research raises is what kind of foreign literature gets translated into English, under what socio-cultural conditions and which politics of representation it serves within the project of world literature

GENERAL PROOF OF OSTERWALDER-SCHRADER POSITIVITY FOR THE WILSON ACTION
No full textWe extend the proof by Osterwalder and Seiler of reflection positivity of lattice gauge theories with fermions to the case in which the reflection is performed with respect to planes containing sites. Our proof applies to all observables and relies on the particular structure of the Wilson action. This assures the positivity of the correlation functions 〈θ(F)F〉 for any gauge invariant function F and at all euclidean time separations as of interest in Monte Carlo calculations. © 1987 Springer-Verlag
