3D Data Acquisition and Numerical Analysis of a Footwear in Walking
2004
The aim of the paper is to set a procedure to study the load history of a footwear during a step with non-linear FE analysis. The geometric model tested was reconstructed from a real shoe by means of Reverse Engineering process, starting from dense point clouds acquired by non-contact scanning system. For each phase of the walk, the pressure values are obtained by a pressure distribution platform when tester is walking along the platform. The Finite Element model is easily generated by Hypermesh software using the CAD model. Ansys software is used to perform non-linear analyses. The procedure can be employed for improving the product performance in terms of durability, flexibility and comfo…

Cadmium mass measurements between the neutron shell closures at N=50 and 82
2010
International audience; The mass values of the neutron-deficient cadmium isotopes 99−109Cd and of the neutronrich isotopes 114,120,122−124,126,128Cd have been measured using ISOLTRAP. The behavior of the separation energies of the cadmium isotopes from N = 50 to 82 is discussed.
PKM2 promotes Th17 cell differentiation and autoimmune inflammation by fine-tuning STAT3 activation
2019
Th17 cells undergo metabolic reprogramming towards glycolysis to support their differentiation and pathogenicity. Damasceno et al. report that PKM2, a glycolytic enzyme, plays a nonmetabolic role in mediating Th17 cell differentiation and autoimmune neuroinflammation by fine-tuning STAT3 activation.
Sea urchin embryos cadmium exposed as an experimental model system for studying the relationship between autophagy and apoptosis

Effects of cadmium chloride on some mitochondria-related activity and gene expression of human MDA-MB231 breast tumor cells.
2007
It was reported that cadmium is able to exert a cytotoxic effect on tumor MDA-MB231 cells, which shows signs of "non-classical" apoptosis and is characterized by drastic changes in gene expression pattern. In this study, we have extended our knowledge of metal-breast cancer cell interactions by analyzing some mitochondria-related aspects of the stress response to CdCl(2) at either 5 or 50 microM 24- or 96-h exposure, by cytochemical, conventional PCR and Northern/Western blot techniques. We demonstrated that (i) no modification of the mitochondrial mass was detectable due to CdCl(2) exposure; (ii) the respiration activity appeared to be increased after 96-h exposures, while the production o…
Las estrategias del comercio especializado
2006
Este trabajo presenta una revisión y actualización de las estrategias empleadas por los minoristas especializados en su lucha competitiva con los minoristas generalistas. En un primer apartado se delimita el concepto de especialista, según la literatura académica, para pasar después a cuantificar su situación en España, en Europa y en Estados Unidos. A continuación se analiza la posición de los especialistas en los diferentes subsectores de actividad, para finalizar con una propuesta de las estrategias llevadas a cabo por los especialistas en España. This paper contains a review and update of the strategies used by specialized retailers to compete with their general counterparts. After defi…
Cadmium-induced changes in soil biochemical characteristics of oat (Avena sativa L.) rhizosphere during early growth stages
2011
A microcosm was assembled to physically separate soil from roots and was used to study both the impact of living roots on the soil–plant system during early stages of growth and plant responses to abiotic stress. Oat (Avena sativa L.) seedlings were grown in the microcosm unit for 44 days. Twenty-three days after planting, 0.154 mg CdSO4/g dry soil was added. Plants grown in Cd-treated microcosms showed considerable inhibition of shoot growth rates, and leaf chlorophyll content. Soil microbial biomass C and respiration increased with plant age, and most of the measured biochemical indicators decreased with increasing distance from the soil–root interface, thus demonstrating the rhizosphere …
Architettura e second digital turn, l’evoluzione degli strumenti informatici e il progetto
2021
La condizione digitale che ha gradualmente ibridato le nostre esistenze, trasformando atomi in bit, si è oggi cementificata sulla nostra società, arricchendone la postmodernità e determinando una nuova liquidità acuitasi con l’avvento di internet. Un momento storico segnato da una nuova maturità del digitale, evidente nel nostro diverso rapporto con i dati, e nella diffusione di metodi di machine learning avanzato, che promettono una nuova capacità di comprensione della complessità contemporanea e nel frattempo contribuiscono alla propagazione dell’apparato tecnico sul mondo. Questi cambiamenti, tanto profondi da toccare la nostra cultura, stanno modificando il nostro modo di interpretare e…
La turbatio sacrorum tra legge e cultura: il caso della riesumazione della salma di S.Pio
2009
L'autrice commenta adesivamente il decreto con cui il Giudice accoglie la richiesta di archiviazione avanzata dal p.m. in merito alla presunta violazione degli artt. 407 e 410 c.p. a seguito della riesumazione della salma di S.Pio da Pietralcina. Nel motivare le ragioni per cui la condotta non può reputarsi lesiva del sentimento di pietà per i defunti, l'autrice si sofferma sull'oggettività giuridica delle fattispecie interessate, sull'analisi dei loro elementi normativi, accennando altresì alle problematiche concernenti la determinatezza delle norme penali.
