DIGITAL LIFE –research group

Our aim is to research the effects that digitalization and social media impose on themes such as age and aging, life cycles and intergenerational relationships, social interactions, consumption and marketing, financial literacy, education, services, health and wellbeing, identity, values and attitudes as well as work, families, and time management.

Late medieval cemetery

The cemetery is localized in Byczyna (Opole region) near a local evangelical church of St Nicolaus, between Wolności Street, Długa Street and Wolności Square. The cemetery dates back to from early 11th century to 16th century. During excavations conducted in 2009-2014 there were 1087 graves in different state of decay. The bone remains were transferred to the Polish Academy of Science institute as mandated by law.

A Stochastic Programming Model for the Optimal Issuance of Government Bonds

2010

Sovereign states issue fixed and floating securities to fund their public debt. The value of such portfolios strongly depends on the fluctuations of the term structure of interest rates. This is a typical example of planning under uncertainty, where decisions has to be drawn on the base of the key stochastic economic factors underneath the model.We propose a multistage stochastic programming model to select portfolios of bonds, where the aim of the decision maker is that of minimizing the cost of the decision process. At the same time, we bound the conditional Value-at-Risk, a measure of risk which accounts for the losses of the tail distribution. We build an efficient frontier to trade-off…

Meaning and Form of Games (Part of Centre of Excellence GameCULT)

GameCult research group studies the questions related to understanding the key processes and characteristics of meaning making and cultural agency in games and play, and to the four more focused sub-themes: meaning and form of games, creation of games, players of games, and societal frames of games.

Diagnóstico genético ovocitario mediante análisis del primer corpúsculo polar

2023

El desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías de cribado genético informa que la mayoría de la población es portadora, en heterocigosis, de alguna variante patogénica causante de enfermedades monogénicas; generando la mitad de sus gametos libres de la mutación y la otra mitad portadores. En el ámbito de la reproducción humana asistida, el diagnóstico molecular de los ovocitos permitiría seleccionar aquéllos libres de una variante patogénica particular, previamente a la fecundación; maximizando las probabilidades de obtener descendencia sana o portadora, según el escenario particular de cada pareja. Actualmente, el estudio molecular directo del ovocito fecundable no es posible, ya que su diagnóstico i…

On deformation of Poisson manifolds of hydrodynamic type

2001

We study a class of deformations of infinite-dimensional Poisson manifolds of hydrodynamic type which are of interest in the theory of Frobenius manifolds. We prove two results. First, we show that the second cohomology group of these manifolds, in the Poisson-Lichnerowicz cohomology, is ``essentially'' trivial. Then, we prove a conjecture of B. Dubrovin about the triviality of homogeneous formal deformations of the above manifolds.

Collection of Historical Instruments of Physics

This huge collection of instruments (about 500) has been collected over time since 1811, when the physicist Domenico Scinà obtained the chair of Experimental Physics. The collection includes pieces from different branches of Physics, such as mechanics, calorimetry, acoustics, electromagnetism and optics.

Ascorbic acid in orange juice–milk beverage treated by high intensity pulsed electric fields and its stability during storage

2010

Abstract The degradation of ascorbic acid was determined in a ready-to-drink orange juice–milk beverage treated by high intensity pulsed electric fields (PEF). The effects of PEF treatment were compared to those of heat pasteurization (90 oC, 20 s). Four electric field strengths (15, 25, 35, 40 kV/cm) and six treatment times for each field (from 40 µs to 700 µs) were studied. Ascorbic acid degradation was adjusted to an exponential model. The obtained ascorbic acid degradation rate constants (kE) were − 0.11·10− 3 ± 0.03·10− 3 μs− 1, − 0.23·10− 3 ± 0.07·10− 3 μs− 1, − 0.42·10− 3 ± 0.09·10− 3 μs− 1 and − 0.60·10− 3 ± 0.06·10− 3 μs− 1 for field strengths of 15, 25, 35 and 40 kV/cm, respective…

Museo della Specola

The Museo della Specola is located on the top of the Torre Pisana (or Torre di Santa Ninfa) of the Palazzo dei Normanni, on the site that housed the ancient observatory (Specola Panormitana), established in 1790 at the behest of King Ferdinand I of Bourbon. In this place, on January 1st 1801, the Theatine father Giuseppe Piazzi, first director of the observatory, discovered the first asteroid, Ceres (today classified as a dwarf planet). The entire structure, with most of its original furnishings and instruments, was completely restored in the 1990s and the Museum was inaugurated in 2001. It includes the original premises of the Observatory, such as the Circular Room (hosting the famous Rams…

Identification of plant cells in black pigments of prehistoric Spanish Levantine rock art by means of a multi-analytical approach. A new method for s…

2017

We present a new multi-analytical approach to the characterization of black pigments in Spanish Levantine rock art. This new protocol seeks to identify the raw materials that were used, as well as reconstruct the different technical gestures and decision-making processes involved in the obtaining of these black pigments. For the first of these goals, the pictorial mat- ter of the black figurative motifs documented at the Les Dogues rock art shelter (Ares del Maestre, Castello ́ n, Spain) was characterized through the combination of physicochemical and archeobotanical analyses. During the first stage of our research protocol, in situ and non- destructive analyses were carried out by means of…
