Parchment collection

The parchment collection of the Library of the University of Latvia contains a total of 9 liturgical and 8 secular texts. Parchments were made between the 14th and 17th centuries - both individual documents and fragments of books, where different types of writing were used. Parchment sheets also vary in size, from octave pocketbooks to large folio bindings. These are secular and liturgical texts in Latin, German and Spanish.

Non-participation modestly increased with distance to the examination clinic among adults in Finnish health examination surveys

2018

Aims: Health examination surveys (HES) provide important information about population health and health-related factors, but declining participation rates threaten the representativeness of collected data. It is hard to conduct national HESs at examination clinics near to every sampled individual. Thus, it is interesting to look into the possible association between the distance from home to the examination clinic and non-participation, and whe…

Museo della Radiologia

The Radiology Museum is one of the few of its kind in the world. The different sections dedicated to the origins of radiology and to the scientists who have permitted its evolution, allow breathing an atmosphere of scientific and cultural integration that comes from a real synergy between the historical elements and the modern ones, used during the daily activity of the structure.

Inverse problems Research Group

Inverse problems research concentrates on the mathematical theory and practical implementation of indirect measurements. Applications are found in numerous research fields involving scientific, medical or industrial imaging; familiar examples include X-ray computed tomography and ultrasound imaging. Inverse problems have a rich mathematical theory employing modern methods in partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, and differential geometry.

Lipides, Nutrition, Cancer

The LNC 'Lipids, Nutrition, Cancer' research group aims to promote basic and clinical research in the fields of Cancer, Nutrition, Lipid Biology and Cardiometabolic Risk. The teams have expertise in various and complementary thematic fields in: - physico-chemical analysis (pheromones, odorant, sapid or "trigeminal" molecules), - analysis of the release of compounds from the food matrix (oral physiology), - analysis of sensory and cognitive phenomena associated with the processing of sensory information and behaviors, - analysis of the biological mechanisms involved in chemical communication, sensory perceptions and food intake, - analysis of the role of the external and internal environment…

PLLA scaffolds with controlled architecture as potential microenvironment for in vitro tumor model

2019

Abstract The "microenvironment" where a tumor develops plays a fundamental role in determining its progression, the onset of metastasis and, eventually, its resistance to therapies. Tumor cells can be considered more or less invasive depending both on the nature of the cells and on the site where they are located. Commonly adopted laboratory culture protocols for the investigation of tumor cells take usually place on standard two-dimensional sup…

Ground-state magneto-optical resonances in cesium vapor confined in an extremely thin cell

2007

Experimental and theoretical studies are presented related to the ground-state magneto-optical resonance prepared in Cesium vapour confined in an Extremely Thin Cell (ETC, with thickness equal to the wavelength of the irradiating light). It is shown that the utilization of the ETC allows one to examine the formation of a magneto-optical resonance on the individual hyperfine transitions, thus distinguishing processes resulting in dark (reduced ab…

True Bugs Collection (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)

A true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) collection at the University Opole contains several thousand specimens, including more than a hundred types representing mainly three families, i.e. Cydnidae (burrowing bugs), Tingidae (lace bugs) and Dinidoridae. The collection covers almost all zoogeographical regions of the World, but mostly concentrates on tropical Africa, Australia, the Oriental Region and the Palaearctics.

Ode di Pindaro antichissimo poeta, e principe de' greci lirici cioe, Olimpie Pithie & Nemee Istmie

Museo Geologico “Gaetano Giorgio Gemmellaro”

The Museum's patrimony consists of over 600.000 fossils divided into numerous collections. You can stand out some collections about Geological history of Sicily with fossils that span a time interval of over 270 million years and geological and paleontological collections from all over the world. The museum holds over a thousand holotypes (unique specimens on which the fossil species have been established). The exhibition area is divided into three floors. Among the exhibits you can appreciate a gypsum crystal containing a drop of water from the Mediterranean of 6 million years ago and the oldest human skeleton of Homo sapiens found in Sicily dated Upper Paleolithic.

40.000 Years of Human Challenges: Perception, Conceptualization and Coping in Premodern Societies

Challenges can be/form/represent starting points of development and change, stagnation and progress as well as success and failure. At least since the appearance of anatomically modern humans in Western Eurasia about 40,000 years ago, both individuals and communities have developed practices to overcome various forms of challenges, challenges we still face today. For a better/deeper understanding of present as well as future challenges and possible solutions, the diachronic and cross-cultural study of short- and long-term developments over the aforementioned time period offers promising data that have so far been ignored in the discussion. Only such a long-term perspective makes it possible…
