Diet of the Poor in Roman Italy: An Exploration of Wild and Cultivated Plants as an Essential Dietary Component

open access: yesEXARC Journal, 2020
Most of the population of Roman Italy was poor, whether they were the poor who were constantly in search for food and shelter, or the temporarily poor who were artisans or shopkeepers but could fall into poverty at times (Garnsey, 1998, pp.226-227).

The Interplay of Curvature, Geometry, and Topology Shapes Tissue Organisation in Epithelial Shells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Purely geometric 3D Voronoi models predict the organisation of epithelial shells. The interplay of curvature, geometry, and topology enriches the number of pentagons in shells with lower number of cells. Small MDCK cysts and Mouse embryos match the top polygonal configurations in a compactness‐based ranking derived from the Voronoi model. In conclusion,

Demonstration of a Two‐Electron Pathway in Piezoelectric Mechanochemistry: Synthesis and Mechanical Adaptation of Polythiourethane

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A mechano‐triggered polythiourethane (PTU) synthesis mediated by a two‐electron pathway. The polymerization proceeds efficiently (<1 h) under focused ultrasound, achieving >90% conversion without any conventional base catalyst. The approach demonstrates broad compatibility with various thiol/isocyanate monomer combinations, highlighting its synthetic ...

Transposable Element Dynamics Drive the Genomic Evolution and Phenotypic Diversification of Allotetraploid Common Carp

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating 516 whole‐genome resequencing datasets and 236 transcriptomes of allotetraploid common carp, this study establishes the first population‐scale atlas of transposable element (TE) variation in teleost species. TE bursts, relaxed purifying selection, and lineage‐specific loss of ancient insertions shape genome evolution and phenotypic ...

Elucidating Liquid‐Phase Guest Transport Across MOF Single Crystals: Interplay of Adsorption, Desorption, and Intracrystalline Diffusion

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Guest transport across metal–organic framework (MOF) single crystals disentangles transport occurring through the micropores from contributions at grain boundaries. Even guest molecules with identical kinetic diameters show drastically different transport behavior arising from the distinct modes of adsorption. Neither pore clogging nor surface collapse

On Prophetic Decolonization During the Roman Empire

open access: yesJournal of Islamic History and Manuscript
This study examines the decolonization in the prophetic period of Muhammad SAW. Different analyses occur among historians, with some viewing Islam as supportive of colonialism and others as anti-colonialism.

Multimodal Imaging of Hypoxia, Metabolism and pH in Feline Sarcoma Using Hyperpolarized 13C MRI and PET

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a clinically deployable simultaneous PET/MRI workflow which integrates hyperpolarized 13C imaging of metabolism and extracellular pH with [18F]FMISO PET to characterize hypoxia, acidosis, and metabolic reprogramming in feline sarcoma.

Recreating the Fonseca Hairstyle

open access: yesEXARC Journal, 2013
Roman women’s hairstyles of the late first century AD are notable for their voluminous frontal hair. Described by Juvenal as "tiers upon tiers" of curls (Sat. 6. 502-3), and by Martial as a "circle of hair" (Ep.

Columella’s Wine: a Roman Enology Experiment

open access: yesEXARC Journal, 2020
The study of archaeological and written sources made it possible to commence an extensive research project on Roman viticulture, starting in 2013 on the slopes of Mount Etna, in Sicily (Indelicato, Malfitana and Cacciaguerra, 2017). The general aim is to
