Analysis of Activity States of Local Neuronal Microcircuits in Mouse Brain

2018

Time series of neuronal activity corresponding to different activity states in mouse brain are analyzed in the time domain and the time-frequency domain. The signals are associated with either a slow wave brain state or a persistent brain state. For both states, characteristic spectral features are identified and a simple detector is proposed that is able to identify the brain state with low latency and high accuracy. In practice, being able to monitor the brain state online and in real time is crucial for improved in vivoexperiments and, ultimately, for a causal understanding of brain dynamics.

The Assassination of Lieutenant Joe Petrosino: A Contested Symbol in the Mainstream and Italian-American Press in the Early 20th Century

2023

Recently, scholars have looked at the ethnic press through a social constructionist lens, examining the process through which immigrants developed a sense of identity and the role of print culture in forming “imagined communities” (Anderson). Here, I analyze the coverage of the 1909 assassination of police Lieutenant Petrosino in both mainstream and Italian-American press and popular culture. This shocking event ignited a debate over the nature and origin of the Mafia and the dangerousness of the Italian community, a debate involving discourses of racial difference, immigration restriction, and the capability of Italians to assimilate. This debate became an important arena in which Italian …

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.

Collection of Classical Philology books

The collection contains about 3860 copies, of which 1560 copies. - in ancient Greek, about 1000 copies. - in Latin [2]. In addition to works in original languages, the collection includes scientific literature and translations into foreign languages, mainly in German, as well as in French and Italian - about 1300 copies. The books were published in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. early stage, most represented in the 19th century. What makes the collection special is also a number of rare and ancient editions - the book of Horace poetry in Latin and Italian published in 1682, a selection of Tacita works in several volumes published in 1772, the collection of letters written by Cicero in F…

English Studies: Text, Discourse, Corpus, Media, Culture

Text, Discourse, Corpus, Media, Culture is a group of researchers collaborating on common projects and publications within linguistics, cultural studies and media studies, often adopting a critical perspective, who focus on studying: - media representations of social phenomena and social groups - constructions of identities and interactions in and through discourse - legitimization and argumentation and their cultural constraints - humour in discourse, media and culture - intercultural communication and conflict - discourses of and on gendered and migrant social actors - cognitive constructs and culture/language-specific conceptualizations - professional discursive practices in journalism a…

Terrestrial Magmatic System

Magmatic processes are central to the geosciences, as they constitute the main connection between the deep solid Earth and the surface. They are responsible for the creation of continents on Earth, for the generation of large ore deposits, and for catastrophic volcanic eruptions that directly and indirectly affect the lives of millions of people. Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in our investigation of magmatic systems, and we now know that we can only understand such systems in an integrative and interdisciplinary manner. They need to be considered at the mantle-to-atmosphere scale and not just by analyzing shallow magma chambers that directly feed volcanoes. It ha…

Moderately close Neumann inclusions for the Poisson equation

2016

We investigate the behavior of the solution of a mixed problem for the Poisson equation in a domain with two moderately close holes. If ϱ1 and ϱ2 are two positive parameters, we define a perforated domain Ω(ϱ1,ϱ2) by making two small perforations in an open set: the size of the perforations is ϱ1ϱ2, while the distance of the cavities is proportional to ϱ1. Then, if r∗ is small enough, we analyze the behavior of the solution for (ϱ1,ϱ2) close to the degenerate pair (0,r∗). Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

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.

The Center for Taste and Food Sciences (CSGA)

The CSGA is structured into 10 research teams, the ChemoSens platform (IBiSA certified, ISO9001) and a technical platform as well as research support services. The CSGA has about 200 staff members, including 133 permanent staff (researchers, teacher-researchers, physicians, engineers, technicians and support staff) and about 60 non-permanent staff (fixed-term contracts, PhD students, post-doctoral fellows, trainees). The CSGA project is part of the general theme of the study of eating behavior, its regulation and consequences on well-being and health. The general objective is a better understanding of the physicochemical, biological and psychological mechanisms underlying sensory perception…

Influence of nerve growth factor in endometriosis-associated symptoms

2011

To investigate the role of the nerve growth factor (NGF) in the development of dysmenorrhea/pelvic pain in patients with endometriosis, we performed a prospective, clinical, blind study. Peritoneal fluids (PFs) were obtained from patients with histologically proven endometriosis. Patients with endometriosis were divided into 7 different groups depending on their preoperative pain score and symptomatology: patients with no pain, patients with minimal pain (dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, or both), and patients with severe pain (dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, or both) and were used for the neuronal growth assay with cultured chicken dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and for Western blot analyses. Dorsal root …

Osseous fixation of a penile prosthesis after transsexual phalloplasty: a case report.

1993

AbstractWe report on a patient who had undergone female-to-male transsexual surgery and subsequent phalloplasty by means of a free latissimus dorsi muscle graft with pudendal nerve coaptation elsewhere 10 years ago. The surgical strategy for implantation and osseous fixation of a penile prosthesis is described. We discuss whether the primary implantation of a penile prosthesis during 1-stage surgical phalloplasty is more advantageous in comparison with the currently favored secondary implantation. Phalloplasty should be represented by a 1-stage surgical procedure encompassing the creation of a neourethra, restoration of tactile and possibly erogenous sensibility, and implantation of a penil…

A discrete mechanical model of fractional hereditary materials

2013

Fractional hereditary materials are characterized for the presence, in the stress-strain relations, of fractional-order operators with order beta a[0,1]. In Di Paola and Zingales (J. Rheol. 56(5):983-1004, 2012) exact mechanical models of such materials have been extensively discussed obtaining two intervals for beta: (i) Elasto-Viscous (EV) materials for 0a parts per thousand currency sign beta a parts per thousand currency sign1/2; (ii) Visco-Elastic (VE) materials for 1/2a parts per thousand currency sign beta a parts per thousand currency sign1. These two ranges correspond to different continuous mechanical models. In this paper a discretization scheme based upon the continuous models p…
