Ovarian sex cord tumor with annular tubules in a woman with premature ovarian failure.

2001

Abstract Objective: To report a case of premature ovarian failure (POF) associated with an ovarian sex cord tumor with annular tubules. Design: Case report. Setting: Reproductive endocrinology unit in a tertiary academic center. Patient(s): A 20-year-old woman with POF. Intervention(s): Biopsy of the rudimentary ovary by laparoscopy. Main Outcome Measure(s): Protocol for POF investigation and histological study of the ovarian sample. Result(s): An ovarian sex cord tumor with annular tubules was detected in the rudimentary right ovary. Conclusion(s): The rare ovarian sex cord tumor with annular tubules, which may be hormonally active, was detected in a case of POF.

Enrico Del Debbio e Angiolo Mazzoni ad Agrigento

2008

Esplorare l’architettura con il Disegno è lo scopo di questo studio che tenta di verificare, al di là della storia e della critica architettonica, se i sistemi "rivelatori" della rappresentazione possano aggiungere qualche parola a ciò che è stato scritto Oggetto di questo lavoro sono due architetture dimenticate realizzate da Enrico Del Debbio e Angiolo Mazzoni ad Agrigento. La Casa del balilla, progettata nel 1929 da Del Debbio, definisce il lato nord del Piazzale Littorio diventandone il fondale, mentre l’adiacente Palazzo delle Poste di Mazzoni, la cui impronta circolare diventa in alzato un volume cilindrico, offre all'osservatore un'immagine dinamica, in continuo cambiamento; la scelt…

Annoyance due to residential road traffic and aircraft noise: Empirical evidence from two European cities

2021

Based on a study in two European cities, Mainz in Germany and Zurich in Switzerland, the article investigates both acoustical and non-acoustical factors affecting indoor annoyance due to residential road traffic and aircraft noise. We specifically focus on three factors: (1) the role of windows as a feature of the building where people live; (2) the role of individual environmental concern as a general attitude; and (3) the role of household income as an indicator of socioeconomic resources. Empirical results show that closed windows in general and closed high-quality windows in particular are an important barrier against outdoor road traffic and aircraft noise, as well as a helpful subject…

Search for neutral MSSM Higgs bosons at LEP

2006

The four LEP collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have searched for the neutral Higgs bosons which are predicted by the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The data of the four collaborations are statistically combined and examined for their consistency with the background hypothesis and with a possible Higgs boson signal. The combined LEP data show no significant excess of events which would indicate the production of Higgs bosons. The search results are used to set upper bounds on the cross-sections of various Higgs-like event topologies. The results are interpreted within the MSSM in a number of "benchmark" models, including CP-conserving and CP-violating scenarios. Thes…

Studies of Quantum Chromodynamics with the ALEPH Detector

1998

Previously published and as vet unpublished QCD results obtained with the ALEPH detector at LEP1 are presented. The unprecedented statistics allows detailed studies of both perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of strong interactions to be carried out using hadronic Z and tau decays. The studies presented include precise determinations of the strong coupling constant. tests of its flavour independence, tests of the SU(3) gauge structure of QCD, study of coherence effects, and measurements of single-particle inclusive distributions and two-particle correlations for many identified baryons and mesons.

Final results of the searches for neutral Higgs bosons in e+e- collisions at sqrt(s) up to 209GeV

2002

The final results of the ALEPH search for the Standard Model Higgs boson at LEP, with data collected in the year 2000 at centre-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV, are presented. The changes with respect to the preceding publication are described and a complete study of systematic effects is reported. The findings of this final analysis confirm the preliminary results published in November 2000 shortly after the closing down of the LEP collider: a significant excess of events is observed, consistent with the production of a $115 \Gcs$ Standard Model Higgs boson. The final results of the searches for the neutral Higgs bosons of the MSSM are also reported, in terms of limits on $\mh$, $\mA$ and $…

Application of Pinhole Plasma Jet Activated Water against Escherichia coli, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Decontamination of Pesticide Residues…

2022

Plasma activated water (PAW) generated from pinhole plasma jet using gas mixtures of argon (Ar) and 2% oxygen (O2) was evaluated for pesticide degradation and microorganism decontamination (i.e., Escherichia coli and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) in chili (Capsicum annuum L.). A flow rate of 10 L/min produced the highest concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at 369 mg/L. Results showed that PAW treatment for 30 min and 60 min effectively degrades carbendazim and chlorpyrifos by about 57% and 54% in solution, respectively. In chili, carbendazim and chlorpyrifos were also decreased, to a major extent, by 80% and 65% after PAW treatment for 30 min and 60 min, respectively. E. coli popula…

Influence of initial treatments of aluminium on the morphological features of electrochemically formed alumina membranes

2003

Abstract The fabrication of alumina membranes by electrochemical oxidation of annealed aluminium was investigated. Porous layers were grown in 0.4 M H3PO4 at −1 and 5 °C at different anodising times. The morphology of the outer surface was found to be dependent on temperature and charge density, with both determining the extent of chemical dissolution of the anodic oxide. The inner-surface morphology was found to depend on the applied voltage only. The chemical dissolution rate of anodic oxide grown on annealed aluminium was found to be lower than that formed on unannealed aluminium under otherwise identical conditions. Such a difference in behaviour is explained in terms of a higher finish…
