UNA NOTA SULL’ETIMOLOGIA DI “PIOTTA” ‘CENTO LIRE’ by Emanuele Miola

“…Questo contributo prende in esame le diverse ipotesi etimologiche per la parola romanesca piotta ‘cento lire’. Ne retrodata la prima occorrenza in un testo scritto in Italia; offre una plausibile spiegazione della sua diffusione nelle regioni centrali della nostra Penisola a partire dalle regioni settentrionali (Piemonte ed Emilia-Romagna in primis) e propone che la presenza della -t- intensa nel romanesco e nell’italiano sia dovuta al contatto dei gerganti con altri gerganti parlanti, tra il resto, italiano popolare regionale piemontese. …”

Rapid expansion and specialization of the TAS2R bitter taste receptor family in amphibians. by Kathleen W Higgins, Akihiro Itoigawa, Yasuka Toda, Daniel Winston Bellott, Rachel Anderson, Roberto Márquez, Jing-Ke Weng

“…In most species, TAS2R genes are found in clusters; compared to other vertebrates, amphibians have additional clusters and more genes per cluster. We find that vertebrate TAS2Rs have few one-to-one orthologs between closely related species, although total TAS2R count is stable in most lineages. …”

Peut-on trouver trace de la Loi islamique dans les documents arabes chrétiens de Tolède des XIIe et XIIIe siècles? by Jean-Pierre Molénat

“…Also, the clauses of the matrimonial contracts or family shares, are more as per the Fuero Juzgo than the Islamic law. Although the enormous Arab influence in the “Mozarabic Christians” from Toledo, which actually lasted more than two centuries after city´s Christian conquer, it is not possible to find testimonies that prove the influence of the Islamic law over them.…”

The impact of forests on the evolution of water resources in the mid-altitude Alps from the middle of the 19th century (Chartreuse massif, France) by Dominique Dumas

“…The study shows that since the middle of the 19th century the extension of the forest cover in the Chartreuse massif has increased water losses through interception by almost 100 mm per year. It also reveals that over this same period water losses have not been compensated for by an increase in precipitation. …”

Event Patterns Extracted from Transverse Momentum and Rapidity Spectra of Z Bosons and Quarkonium States Produced in pp and Pb-Pb Collisions at LHC by Ya-Hui Chen, Fu-Hu Liu, Roy A. Lacey

“…The modelling results are in agreement with the experimental data measured in pp collisions at center-of-mass energies s=2.76 and 7 TeV and in Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=2.76 TeV. Based on the parameter values extracted from pT and y spectra, the event patterns (particle scatter plots) in two-dimensional pT-y space and in three-dimensional velocity space are obtained.…”
