Did the Hb G San José gene arise in Sicily?

We have studied 969 school children from Grammichele, a small town of 13 000 inhabitants 50 km from Catania. These children were screened for abnormal haemoglobins using a Coulter Counter and cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Structural analysis of haemoglobin was performed when required. The results are summarised in the table. We found seven children from seven different apparently unrelated...

Characterization of Zeolite in Zeolite-Geopolymer Hybrid Bulk Materials Derived from Kaolinitic Clays

Zeolite-geopolymer hybrid materials have been formed when kaolin was used as a starting material. Their characteristics are of interest because they can have a wide pore size distribution with micro- and meso-pores due to the zeolite and geopolymer, respectively. In this study, Zeolite-geopolymer hybrid bulk materials were fabricated using four kinds of kaolinitic clays (a halloysite and three ...

Quality Control of Raw Materials

Food influences the health of a population to a great degree, therefore, the control of food quality is an important government activity, and is legislatively regulated. Raw food materials quality is a complex term that includes nutritional, sensory, hygienictoxicological, and technological points of view. Food has to fulfill all quality requirements, but above all, it has to be safe. High qual...
