Abstract

We describe a case of adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) with secondary macrophage activation syndrome. AOSD is a rare disease with unknown origin. Rarely it’s complicated by secondary macrophage activation syndrome, which is a life-threatening disorder. Because the diagnosis of AOSD is essential for exclusion and complications are life-threatening, it is mandatory for a prompt and extensive diagnostic workup and treatment.

Abstract

Growth performance and meat quality traits of 24 Massese suckling lambs reared up to 69 days of age in different farming systems were evaluated. Three groups were considered: stall (S) reared indoors and fed concentrate and hay; pasture (P) reared outdoor and fed pasture and hay; semi free-range (F) reared indoors during the night and at pasture during the day, fed concentrate, hay and herbage. The lambs remained constantly with their dams for the whole period, having thus always access to mothers’ milk. Animals weights were recorded, and, after slaughtering, carcase traits were considered. Fatty acids composition and chemical/physical parameters of milk and meat were analysed. Lambs growth was similar in the first 30 days, while afterwards differences emerged: P lambs recorded the worst values reaching slaughter weight of 14.6 kg versus 22.3 and 22.7 of the S and the F group, respectively. Carcase of P lambs resulted less fat and with a lower lean/bone ratio than the other groups (1.8, 2.1 and 2.3 for P, S and F, respectively). Fatty acids composition of ewes’ milk had effect on lambs’ meat profile, probably because they continued to suck milk until slaughter. Moreover, also farming system affected fatty acids profile of lambs’ meat: grazing animals, especially P, showed the highest PUFA and the lowest SFA percentage and P meat showed the best composition for human health. As regards physical traits, F meat was more coloured than P and S meat, while P meat was less tender than others.Highlights Two-month-old Massese lamb is a marketable product. Suckled milk affected lambs’ meat composition also at later ages. Pasture in lambs’ diet increases PUFA content in the meat.

Abstract

The aim of this work was to determine the chemical, physical and sensorial characteristics of a cured product called ‘Cuore di Spalla’, resulting from two different pig genotypes (G) and two salting times (S). Fourteen Duroc × Large White (D × LW) and 14 Cinta Senese × Large White (CS × LW), reared in the same condition in outdoor and fed commercial mixture. The animals were slaughtered at 10 months of age which corresponds to an average live weight of 143 ± 15 kg for D × LW and 122 ± 15 kg for CS × LW. The right shoulders were salted for 3 days (L) and the left ones for 5 days (H). Physical (colour, texture profile analysis), chemical (moisture; crude protein; IMF; ash; salt; total lipids; fatty acids) and sensorial analyses (by panellists’ group) as well as volatile compounds profile (by SPME-GC-MS technique) were determined at the end of seasoning period. The genotype affected product’s size (1484.3 vs 1857.1 g of final weight for CS × LW and D × LW respectively), chemical characteristics and texture (cohesiveness 0.50 vs 0.53 and springiness 6.73 vs 7.12 for CS × LW and D × LW respectively). Aromatic profile was less affected by the factors considered or at least the panellists were not able to discriminate the effect. The main family of volatile compounds affected by genotype was alcohols. Salting time seemed to affect only the parameters closely related to salt (16.52 vs 15.33% of salt and 5.15 vs 4.35 for saltiness in H vs L respectively).Highlights The genotypes determined differences in size, fat quantity and physical-chemical parameters of the ‘Cuore di Spalla’ product. Very limited differences in the aromatic profile were found. Both salting times led to high salt content in the product. It seems feasible to produce the ‘Cuore di Spalla’ with further reduction of salting times.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the performance at slaughtering of calves; young bull and bull of Maremmana breed, and compared, through Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on fatty acid composition, the characteristics of the resulting meat categories: veal, young bull meat and bull meat. The Maremmana cattle is a local endangered breed deriving from Tuscany and Latium. The animals of this study were raised under same conditions in pasture with hay and concentrate supplementations. Eighteen calves of 12-14 months, 27 young bulls of 18 months and 14 bulls of 20-24 months were slaughtered in this trial. The performances at slaughtering were considered, and on the meat samples, the chemical analysis and the fatty acid composition were carried out. Results were submitted to ANOVA and PCA, and a Heat map that considered the fatty acid distances among meat typologies was built. Slaughtering performances were better in young bulls and bulls. Chemical composition didn’t differ among meat categories. Saturated fatty acids (SFA) were similar among meats, but Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were lower in veal. Desirable fatty acids and Healthy Indices were better in veal. The results of PCA and Heat map confirmed that veal was quite different from other meats. Maremmana meat deriving from animals of different age has shown overall good characteristics, suitable for the diet of western country population.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to evaluate the growth performance, oxidative stress, and fatty acid profiles of lambari (Astyanax altiparanae) fed diets containing different lipid sources: soybean oil, linseed oil, and freshwater fish residue oil combined or otherwise with sesame oil (SEO). The fish (mean weight 0.95±0.46 g; mean length 4.21±2.77 cm) were distributed into 24 cages (cage capacity: 0.70 m3; fish density: 276 individuals m−3) in six treatments and four replicates. After 80 days of feeding, they were weighed, and samples were collected for assay of catalase, glutathione reductase (GR), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme activities in muscle and analysis of the fatty acid profiles of polar and neutral fractions of whole eviscerated fish. The addition of SEO reduced docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n-3, DHA) levels but increased the percentage of highly unsaturated n-3 fatty acids and the DHA: eiocosapentaenoic acid ratio, while reduced GR and LDH enzyme activities in muscle. Thus, certain blends of oils added to fish diets can improve the lipid profile of lambari and protect consumers against reactive oxygen species.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diets containing genetically modified organism-free legumes as a replacement of soybean on the basis of performance, carcass composition and quality of local pig meat (Cinta Senese). Twenty-four Cinta Senese barrows were divided into 3 dietary groups and were each fed with a diet containing different protein sources: soybean meal (SOY), Vicia faba (FABA) and Pisum sativum (PEA) (8 pigs for each group). The diets were isonitrogenous and isocaloric and contained approximately 14.5% crude protein and 14.8 MJ/kg of digestible energy (on dry matter). Each group was reared outdoors in a paddock of 3500 m2. In vivo performances were not different among groups. At slaughter, differences in subcutaneous fat thickness appeared only in the outer layer, at the last thoracic vertebra level, which was lowest in the PEA group. No differences were found in the sample joint composition. With regard to the chemico-physical traits of meat and fat, the FABA group had the highest values of redness in lean and backfat, while the PEA group showed higher moisture and lower fat content in meat compared to the SOY group. Differences in the fatty acid profile of backfat were found only for the C16:1 percentage that was higher in FABA than SOY pigs. In conclusion, Vicia faba and Pisum sativum could be a good alternative to soybean in the growing-fattening of Cinta Senese pigs.

Abstract

The “ricotta di pecora pistoiese” is comprised in the list of the traditional agrofood products of Tuscany and the relative PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) has be required. This research, analysing the making process, aimed to evaluate its chemical and nutritive traits as influenced by some factors, with particular attention to the season. During the four seasons of two consecutive years, the making process of ricotta cheese was monitored in four farms for a total of 32 control-days. Yields, chemical composition and fatty acid profile of fat were determined. The amount of milk added to whey influenced the fat and protein content and the yields at 0 and 24 hours. Season affected only the protein content, higher in winter and spring. Fatty acid composition was influenced strongly by the season being the ricotta cheese of summer richer of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated FA than that of autumn and winter, probably due to the feeding regimen based mainly on fresh grass.

Abstract

The effect of harvesting time and cooking on water, protein, lipid, ash and fatty acid content of farmed meagre was assessed. Significant differences in nutrient content of raw fillets were detected in relation to harvesting time. Cooking by boiling induced loss of some macronutrients, mainly lipids and some fatty acids. Retention of total lipids, C18:2n-6 and C18:3n-3 decreased significantly with harvesting time, while C20:5n-3 (EPA) and C22:6n-3 (DHA) were retained in the same quantity. DHA retention was higher than that of the other FAs considered, at all harvesting times. The changes detected did not diminish the nutritional value of the fish. Despite losses induced by cooking and the low fat content, typical of this species, 100 g of fillet ensured an intake of EPA plus DHA more than double the recommended daily intake (250 mg day–1), at all harvesting times. The ability to preserve nutrients is an essential requirement for quality maintenance and suggests the possibility of heat-processing fillets.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate qualitative traits of meagre (Argyrosomus regius) from two different rearing systems (land-based tank filled with geothermal water vs offshore sea cage) and after short-term storage at chilling temperature (1, 2, or 3 days). Fish originated from the same batch were fed the same diet. Morpho-biometric traits, L*, a*, and b* colour parameters, texture, free water, proximate composition, total lipids, fatty acids, iron, and selenium contents were analyzed in the fillets. Most parameters were affected by rearing system. Compared to tank-reared fish, caged fish were shorter, poorer in visceral fat, and had higher incidence in cavity content and liver, lower incidence in gonads and head. Caged fish also had softer fillets in the epaxial site, which showed a higher tendency towards greenish colour. Caged fish also showed higher lipid content but lower Fe and Se content. Tank-reared fish fillets were more abundant in PUFAn-3, mainly due to DHA (18.54 vs 12.95%; P

Abstract

Growth performance and meat quality traits of 24 Massese suckling lambs reared up to 69 days of age in different farming systems were evaluated. Three groups were considered: stall (S) reared indoors and fed concentrate and hay; pasture (P) reared outdoor and fed pasture and hay; semi free-range (F) reared indoors during the night and at pasture during the day, fed concentrate, hay and herbage. The lambs remained constantly with their dams for the whole period, having thus always access to mothers’ milk. Animals weights were recorded, and, after slaughtering, carcase traits were considered. Fatty acids composition and chemical/physical parameters of milk and meat were analysed. Lambs growth was similar in the first 30 days, while afterwards differences emerged: P lambs recorded the worst values reaching slaughter weight of 14.6 kg versus 22.3 and 22.7 of the S and the F group, respectively. Carcase of P lambs resulted less fat and with a lower lean/bone ratio than the other groups (1.8, 2.1 and 2.3 for P, S and F, respectively). Fatty acids composition of ewes’ milk had effect on lambs’ meat profile, probably because they continued to suck milk until slaughter. Moreover, also farming system affected fatty acids profile of lambs’ meat: grazing animals, especially P, showed the highest PUFA and the lowest SFA percentage and P meat showed the best composition for human health. As regards physical traits, F meat was more coloured than P and S meat, while P meat was less tender than others.Highlights Two-month-old Massese lamb is a marketable product. Suckled milk affected lambs’ meat composition also at later ages. Pasture in lambs’ diet increases PUFA content in the meat.

Abstract

Quando se trata de processos siderúrgicos, sabe-se que os materiais refratários são responsáveis por parcela significativa dos custos de produção do aço. Por tal motivo, este trabalho objetivou compreender a alta variabilidade e a baixa duração da campanha dos refratários que compõem um processo de lingotamento contínuo em uma aciaria LD de grande porte do estado de Minas Gerais, identificando a relação entre as variáveis intrínsecas ao equipamento de forma que seja possível a realização de estimativas sobre a duração de sua campanha. Para a seleção dos fatores explicativos, foi utilizado uma variação do método de ajuste de modelo por regressão múltipla Stepwise, sendo que, a cada passo do algoritmo citado, um modelo baseado em programação linear é responsável pelos cálculos dos coeficientes lineares de regressão. Ao final, obteve-se um modelo de predição para a duração da campanha contendo 12 fatores explicativos e possuindo 97,66\% de significância estatística.

Os animais deste estudo foram criados nas mesmas condições em pastagem com suplementação de feno e concentrado. Foram utilizados 18 vitelos abatidos aos 12-14 meses, 27 novilhos abatidos aos 18 meses e 14 touros abatidos aos 20-24 meses. Sucessivamente foi analisado o desempenho ao abate e as características nutricionais e físico-químicas do Musculus longissimus dorsi. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância. Os parâmetros de abate foram melhores em novilhos e touros. A idade ao abate não afetou as características químicas da carne. Não houve diferença em relação à porcentagem de ácidos graxos saturados (SFA), mas a carne de vitela apresentou menor teor de monoinsaturados (MUFA) e poliinsaturados (PUFA). Os ácidos graxos desejáveis e os índices de saúde foram melhores na carne de vitela. A composição de ácidos graxos foi utilizada também, na análise multivariada dos componentes principais e no mapa de calor, como variável discriminatória para os três categorias de carne; essas análises confirmaram que o produto cárneo de vitela é diferente de outros tipos. A carne de Maremmana proveniente de animais de diferentes faixas etárias mostrou boas características gerais, adequadas para a dieta da população do país ocidental.

Abstract

Soya bean is the main protein source in poultry feed but rising prices make an alternative protein source necessary. Insects, such as the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), may be an attractive solution for hens, although little information is available on their effect on egg quality. The present study aims to fill this gap by testing the effect of 100% replacement of soya bean with H. illucens larva meal in the diet of Lohmann Brown Classic laying hens for 21 weeks. At the end of the trial, the eggs were characterized for parameters such as weight, colour, proximate composition of albumen and yolk, and content of carotenoids, tocopherols and cholesterol. The fatty acid profile of yolks was also determined. Hens fed the insect-based diet produced eggs (HIM group) with a higher proportion of yolk than the group fed the soya bean-based diet (SBM group). HIM was associated with redder yolks (red index 5.63 v. 1.36) than SBM. HIM yolks were richer in γ-tocopherol (4.0 against 2.4 mg/kg), lutein (8.6 against 4.9 mg/kg), β-carotene (0.33 against 0.19 mg/kg) and total carotenoids (15 against 10.5 mg/kg) than SBM yolks. The fatty acid composition of HIM yolks was almost identical to that of SBM yolks. Finally, HIM yolks contained 11% less cholesterol than SBM yolks. These results suggest that H. illucens larva meal is a suitable total substitute for soya bean meal in the diet of Lohmann Brown Classic laying hens. A sustainable alternative to the plant protein source therefore seems feasible.

The effects of stunning/slaughtering methods (carbon monoxide asphyxia, CO; electroshock, E; asphyxia in the air, A) were studied in rainbow trout kept in freshwater at 12 °C. The fish were analysed for blood parameters, rigor mortis evolution, fillets shape changes over 48 h, and ATP depletion and Adenylate Energy Charge (AEC) in muscle immediately after death. Treatment A was most stressful giving the lowest pH values during rigor evolution, the highest concentration of lactate (6.31 mM) in plasma and the lowest AEC values in the muscle. None of the three-stunning/slaughtering methods affected perimeter, length and height of the fillets, with exception for the area at 24 h and 48 h post mortem, which was significantly reduced by CO treatment (CO Statements of relevance 1.

Abstract

Mechanical separation systems are a good option to create new fish products and open new market, however studies on the effect on quality of mechanical treatment on species of interest for European aquaculture, such as European sea bass, gilthead sea bream, and rainbow trout are scarce. Thus in this research, the effect on colour, nutritional quality, and lipid stability was considered immediately after separation process and after 90 days of frozen storage. Results revealed that mechanical separation technique significantly affected colour and lipid stability of the three studied species. Increases in L* and secondary oxidation products were observed, together with a decrease of antioxidant capacity. Nutritional value instead was unaffected by treatment. Thus, mechanical separation process could represent a new way to better exploit species of interest for European aquaculture and acquire new market niches, but oxidative processes during the treatment have to be limited and kept under control.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of stunning/slaughter methods on the animal welfare aspects and on the physical and chemical parameters of frozen cobia ( Rachycentron canadum ) meat, during the frozen storage. Fish (n = 30 per treatment) were stunned electronarcosis, by hypothermia and CO 2 narcosis, then slaughtered by gill cutting and stored at − 18 °C for 180 days. During stunning/slaughter, water quality and the time to reach clinical indicators of unconsciousness were observed. During the storage period, every 60 days, samples were taken and analysed for pH, total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), protein (actin and myosin) denaturation, fatty acid composition, colour (L*, a*, and b*), texture, drip loss (DL), cooking loss (CL) and water holding capacity (WHC). The time to reach unconsciousness resulted faster (2 s) when electronarcosis was applied, while the times were longer with hypothermia and CO 2 narcosis (17.5 min and 48 min, respectively). TVBN, DL, TBARS, texture, actin, myosin, pH, L*, a*, and b* were not affected by the stunning methods while CL was significantly higher in fillet of fish stunned by electronarcosis not altering the shelf life of the fillets. Based on the behaviour of the parameters analysed, electronarcosis seemed to be an adequate stunning method for cobia, since promoted fast unconsciousness and it did not compromise flesh quality.

Abstract

The present study tested a partial substitution of fish meal (FM) with increasing levels of full-fat Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) in diets for rainbow trout (115.6 ± 14.0 g initial body weight) on body morphological and marketable characteristics, and on fillets physical and chemical traits. Fish were fed three diets: a control diet (TM0) and two other diets (TM25 and TM50) corresponding to 0, 25 and 50% of TM inclusion level, respectively. After 90 days of rearing, no statistical differences were detected for morphometric and slaughter traits and for pH, water holding capacity, cooking loss and shear force in raw and cooked fillets. Moreover, diets did not affect the colour of raw and cooked fillet; however, significant variations were observed in colour of skin (dorsal region), that showed higher redness index (a*) in TM0 and TM25 groups. No differences were observed in proximate composition of fillets (raw and cooked), whilst fatty acid (FA) profile was strongly affected by the diet insect meal content. The FAs C16:0, C18:1n9 and C18:2n6 increased whilst EPA and DHA progressively diminished in fillets when TM inclusion in feeds increased. Regarding the FA quality indexes (both for raw and cooked fillets), TM50 group had a higher thrombogenicity index than the TM0 group; PUFA/SFA and n3/n6 ratio gradually decreased with the increase of FM replacement in the diets. In conclusion, TM could partially replace FM in rainbow trout diet, without having a negative effect on fish characteristics and on most quality traits of the fish flesh, except for fatty acid profile.

Abstract

Background: Recent scientific reports have shown that older persons treated with antipsychotics for dementia-related behavioural symptoms have increased mortality. However, the impact of these drugs prescribed during hospitalization has rarely been assessed. We aimed to investigate whether antipsychotics are associated with an increased risk of mortality during hospitalization and at 3-month follow-up in elderly inpatients. Methods: We analyzed data gathered during two waves (2010 and 2012) by the REPOSI (Registro Politerapie Società Italiana Medicina Interna). All new prescriptions of antipsychotic drugs during hospitalization, whether maintained or discontinued at discharge, were collected, and logistic regression models were used to analyze their association with in-hospital and 3-month mortality. Covariates were age, sex, the Short Blessed Test (SBT) score, and the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale. Results: Among 2703 patients included in the study, 135 (5%) received new prescriptions for antipsychotic drugs. The most frequently prescribed antipsychotic during hospitalization and eventually maintained at discharge was haloperidol (38% and 36% of cases, respectively). Patients newly prescribed with antipsychotics were older and had a higher Cumulative Illness Rating Scale comorbidity index both at admission and at discharge compared to those who did not receive a prescription. Of those prescribed antipsychotics, 71% had an SBT score ≥10 (indicative of dementia), 12% had an SBT score of 5-9 (indicative of questionable dementia); and 17% had an SBT score

Abstract

One way to develop broodstock fish diets is to determine the compositions of wild broodstock tissues and attempt to replicate these compositions in the eggs of farmed fish via dietary manipulation. We collected 30 wild and 30 farmed lambari females that were in the reproductive stage. The extraction and separation of polar and neutral fractions and the saponification and methylation of lipids were performed and analysed in the muscles, livers and ovaries to determine the compositions of the fatty acids via gas chromatography. Regardless of habitat, lambaris mobilize large amounts of fat to the ovaries during the reproductive period, in addition to highly unsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids. The wild lambaris were observed to contain higher levels of various fatty acids, including linoleic acid, which is an essential fatty acid. The most abundant fatty acid that was observed in the commercial diet was linoleic acid, which was supplied in all fish farmed tissues. The commercial diet has low AA, EPA and DHA contents, and, higher levels of these fatty acids were recorded in the tissues of farmed lambari, which suggests that this species are able to elongate and desaturate precursors, linoleic and linolenic acids, into highly unsaturated fatty acids.

Abstract

Meagre (Argyrosomus regius) intensively reared in tank by a Tuscany farm and fed commercial diets, were examined to study a) marketable and flesh nutritional traits in commercial-size fish and b) loss of freshness under refrigerated storage condition. Eighty fish, sampled in May, July and November (at 24, 26, 30 months of age) were submitted to linear measurements and weight of the most important body components. Whole fillets were analysed for moisture, lipid and fatty acid composition. Data were analysed by ANOVA (sampling date). A sub sample of fifty-four meagre (902–1840 g b.w.) was stored at 1 °C with ice cover and evaluated every 24 h after death until spoilage for the EU freshness classes, dielectric properties, rigor index, muscular and eye liquor pH, K1% freshness index. Data were analysed by regression on time after death. A small sample of meagre (n = 6) and sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) (n = 6), reared in analogous rearing condition in the same farm were compared by ANCOVA on body weight (average b.w. 668 g). Meagre were characterised by 1.04 condition factor, 44% fillets, 6% viscera, negligible mesenteric fat (≅1%) and 94.5% dressing yield. The head incidence increased (P < 0.01) with b.w. increase. Moisture increased while lipid decreased (P < 0.01) in fillet from July to November (74.47 vs 75.96%; 2.93 vs 2.06%). An index of thrombogenicity calculated from the quantitative fatty acid composition was very low (0.10). In comparison with sea bass of the same body weight, meagre had greater length (41.2 vs 37.6 cm), head incidence (29.9 vs 20.7%) and dressing (94.8 vs 89.2%) and lower viscera (5.2 vs 10.9%), mesenteric fat (0.9 vs 7.9%) and intramuscular fat (2.24 vs 12.78%) incidences. Meagre had a 9-day shelf-life (E class from 1st to 3rdd and A class from 4th to 7thd). Rigor index and impedance remained higher than 90% and 66, respectively until the 3rdd after death. The quality traits found for this species indicated meagre as a promising candidate for Mediterranean aquaculture.

Abstract

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in tertiary care centers using the clinical records of patients enrolled in internal medicine departments.Patients and methods: We used the clinical records of 1380 elderly patients to identify patients with a history of HF and CKD using admission ICD codes and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) formulas. Magnitude and strength of such associations were investigated by univariable and multivariable analysis.Results: Of the 1380 patients enrolled, 27.9% had HF (age 80 ± 7, BMI 27 ± 6 kg/m2) and 17.4% CKD (age 81 ± 7, BMI 26.8 ± 6 kg/m2). Both groups were significantly older (P

Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of obtaining: a) reliable estimates of sea bass fillet weight and lipid/fatty acid content from simple non destructive morphometric measurements; b) estimates of healthy eating quality evaluation from effects of consumption on blood biomarkers related to atherosclerotic/thrombogenic processes. A series of parameters were measured in 708 fish. Estimates of fillet weight from b.w. and max. thickness (R2=0.96, rsd=±20.55g) and of lipid content from b.w., total length, max. thickness and condition factor (R2= 0.69, rsd=±3.3g) were found to be very reliable; flesh n-3 PUFA and EPA content were also estimated from condition factor and max. girth (R2=0.32, rsd=±0.42g; R2=0.38, rsd=±0.13g). Flesh healthy eating quality was evaluated from changes in blood biomarkers (lipid profile, inflammatory markers, haemorheological profile) in dyslipidemic subjects who had eaten fillets three times a week for 10 weeks. A weekly flesh intake of 807g increased erythrocyte n-3 PUFA (P

32. Exchanges of 'Quanta' Among Distinguishable and Indistinguishable Objects

Abstract

Beginning with a physical problem of exchange of n indistinguishable "quanta" of energy in an ensemble of k oscillators we define a new wide class of combinatorial problems, which also contains statistics intermediate between Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein. One such problem is related to the number theoretic problem of computing the partitions of positive integers. After establishing such a connection, we give explicit formulas for the partitions M(n,k) of an integer n into k parts with k ≤ 4. Moreover, we derive a recursion relation for fixed n and varying k which is valid for any k. A formula which relates partitions to the cardinality of the partition set taking order into account is also derived. The leading asymptotic behavior for n large is obtained for any k. A suggestive interpretation of this formulas is proposed in terms of simplicial lattices. Recursive formulas at fixed k and varying n are then written for k ≤ 5 using the concept of factorial triangle, which is amenable for generalizations to larger k's. The problem of distinct partitions is mapped onto the probability problem of ball removal with replacement, for which we give again recursive solution formulas. Finally, the method of generalized Tartaglia triangle allows the derivation of recursive formulas for limited partitions which take order into account. This latter result is related to the problem of finding the number of distinct ways of dividing n indistinguishable objects into k distinguishable groups, for which explicit summations had been previously found.

Abstract

Cured lard is a typical Tuscan dry-cured product, generally obtained from pigs of improved breeds intensively reared. The employment of extensive system in pig rearing could represent a concrete possibility to increase the added value of lard, as well as of the other cured products. Moreover, the general belief of a greater quality of products derived from unimproved pigs, particularly when reared outdoors, has been experimentally supported particularly in Iberian (Carrapiso et al., 2003; Cava et al., 2000) and Corsican pig (Coutron-Gambotti et al., 1998).

Abstract

Successive pairs of pseudo-random numbers generated by standard linear congruential transformations display ordered patterns of parallel lines. We study the ``ordered'' and ``chaotic'' distribution of such pairs by solving the eigenvalue problem for two-dimensional modular transformations over integers. We conjecture that the optimal uniformity for pair distribution is obtained when the slope of linear modular eigenspaces takes the value $n_{opt} = maxint(p /\sqrt{p-1})$, where $p$ is a prime number. We then propose a new generator of pairs of independent pseudo-random numbers, which realizes an optimal uniform distribution (in the ``statistical'' sense) of points on the unit square $(0,1] \times (0,1]$. The method can be easily generalized to the generation of $k$-tuples of random numbers (with $k>2$), 13 pages, Revtex - 7 Figs - Int. J. Mod. Phys. C, in press

Abstract

The “ricotta di pecora pistoiese” is comprised in the list of the traditional agrofood products of Tuscany and the relative PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) has be required. This research, analysing the making process, aimed to evaluate its chemical and nutritive traits as influenced by some factors, with particular attention to the season. During the four seasons of two consecutive years, the making process of ricotta cheese was monitored in four farms for a total of 32 control-days. Yields, chemical composition and fatty acid profile of fat were determined. The amount of milk added to whey influenced the fat and protein content and the yields at 0 and 24 hours. Season affected only the protein content, higher in winter and spring. Fatty acid composition was influenced strongly by the season being the ricotta cheese of summer richer of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated FA than that of autumn and winter, probably due to the feeding regimen based mainly on fresh grass.
