Photo- and redox-active supramolecular systems containing metal complexes

The aim of this Ph.D. project has been the photophysical and photochemical characterization of new photo- and redox-active supramolecular systems. In particular we studied two different classes of compounds: metal complexes and dendrimers. Two different families of bis-cyclometalated neutral Ir(III) complexes are presented and their photophysical properties are discussed. The first family of complexes contains two 2-phenylpyridyl (ppy) or 2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridyl (F2ppy) cyclometalated l...

Advances in understanding of osmotic dehydration and vacuum impregnation of fruits

Osmotic Dehydration and Vacuum Impregnation are interesting operations in the food industry with applications in minimal fruit processing and/or freezing, allowing to develop new products with specific innovative characteristics. Osmotic dehydration is widely used for the partial removal of water from cellular tissue by immersion in hypertonic (osmotic) solution. The driving force for the diffusion of water from the tissue is provided by the differences in water chemical potential between the...

Functional components and lipid quality assessment in vegetable foods: analytical and technological approaches

Lipids are important components that contribute very significantly to nutritional and technological quality of foods because they are the least stable macro-components in foods, due to high susceptibility to oxidation. When rancidity take place, it makes food unhealthy and unacceptable for consumers. Thus, the presence of antioxidants, naturally present of added to foods, is required to enhance shelf life of foods. Moreover, antioxidant like phenolic compounds play an important role in human ...

Diritto di cronaca e tutela dei valori della persona nell'ambito del settore audiovisivo

La ricerca riguarda il rapporto fra il diritto di cronaca e i diritti degli individui che vengono coinvolti dalla diffusione dell'informazione sui mezzi di comunicazione, con particolare riferimento al settore audiovisivo. La cronaca, rientrando fra le manifestazioni del pensiero (art. 21 Cost.), costituisce un diritto di libertà  e, come tale, non puಠessere in alcun modo vincolata in funzione di uno scopo sociale. Tuttavia dall'esercizio di essa discende il risultato (non scopo!) vantaggio...

Epos orale russo tra oralità  e scrittura: problemi e proposte di traduzione

In the present thesis, I discuss the role of orality in translation, taking into account the problems arising while translating Russian folk epics. I investigate the meaning of orality in the context of folkloristic translation, trying to define a concept of oral poetry, and exploring its consequences for translation. In the first chapter, I try to identify the main differences between written literature and oral modes of expression, with special reference to folklore. Oral verbal art is perf...

Performance evaluation of low environmental impact asphalt concretes using the mechanistic empirical design method based on laboratory fatigue and permanent deformation models

Nel 1996 in California, per poter effettivamente sfruttare i benefici dei continui progressi nel campo delle pavimentazioni stradali, fu iniziato un estensivo progetto di ricerca mirato allo sviluppo dei metodi di progetto Empirico-Meccanicistici per le pavimentazioni stradali. Il risultato finale fu la prima versione del software CalME che fornisce allࢠutente tre approcci diversi di lࢠanalisi e progetto: un approccio Empirico, uno Empirico - Meccanicistico classico e un approccio Empir...
