Memoria técnica. Investigaciones en plantas aromáticas y medicinales

Esta memoria técnica sintetiza el trabajo de investigación de los ultimos años, sumando información a las publicaciones de extensión que se han brindado a los productores por distintos medios (jornadas presenciales, boletín electrónico Aromas pampeanos, publicaciones en la web(). Se presentan resumenes de artículos que, en su mayoría, han sido publicados en revistas nacionales e internacionales o expuestos en congresos de la especialidad.Fil: Paunero, Ignacio Eugenio.

La Liguria e le sue rocce.

Zur Ermöglichung geregelten Zugangs von Forschern und Entwicklern zu genetischen Ressourcen und zur Eindämmung der Biopiraterie ist im Jahre 2010 das „Protokoll von Nagoya über den Zugang zu genetischen Ressourcen und die ausgewogene und gerechte Aufteilung der sich aus ihrer Nutzung ergebenden Vorteile zum Übereinkommen über die biologische Vielfalt“ (Nagoya-Protokoll) verabschiedet worden. Der Beitrag soll die wesentlichen Eckpunkte in der Entstehung und Umsetzung des Nagoya-Protokolls erörtern und die Folgen für die Pflanzenzüchtung aufzeigen. Probleme resultieren insbesondere aus der Tatsache, dass alles bei der Züchtung verwendete Material bis hin zum Endprodukt als genetische Ressource anzusehen ist

Semantics-Driven Programming of Self-Adaptive Reactive Systems

In recent years, new classes of highly dynamic, complex systems are gaining momentum. These classes include, but are not limited to IoT, smart cities, cyber-physical systems and sensor networks. These systems are characterized by the need to express behaviors driven by external and/or internal changes, i.e. they are reactive and context-aware. A desirable design feature of these systems is the ability of adapting their behavior to environment changes. In this paper, we propose an approach to support adaptive, reactive systems based on semantic runtime representations of their context, enabling the selection of equivalent behaviors, i.e. behaviors that have the same effect on the environment. The context representation and the related knowledge are managed by an engine designed according to a reference architecture and programmable through a declarative definition of sensors and actuators. The knowledge base of sensors and actuators (hosted by an RDF triplestore) is bound to the real world by grounding semantic elements to physical devices via REST APIs. The proposed architecture along with the defined ontology tries to address the main problems of dynamically re-configurable systems by exploiting a declarative, queryable approach to enable runtime reconfiguration with the help of (a) semantics to support discovery in heterogeneous environment, (b) composition logic to define alternative behaviors for variation points, (c) bi-causal connection life-cycle to avoid dangling links with the external environment. The proposal is validated in a case study aimed at designing an edge node for smart buildings dedicated to cultural heritage preservation

Alcoholic nanolime dispersion obtained by the insolubilisation-precipitation method and its application for the deacidification of ancient paper

Nanolime dispersions for the deacidification of ancient paper constitute a valid alternative to the lime traditional ones. Their efficacy depends on particles size, polydispersity and agglomeration that can be controlled depending on the preparation method. In this work, nanolime preparation by insolubilisation-precipitation method is reported. Nanoparticles dispersed in a water-isopropanol mixture were obtained without any manipulation of the dispersion. The stability of the dispersion together with particle size and morphology were found to be dependent on water to isopropanol molar ratio and on the synthesis temperature. One of the dispersion was applied on a manuscript to assess its efficiency
