The Effect of Cantharellus Cibarius Addition on Quality Characteristics of Frankfurter during Refrigerated Storage
2019
The antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of Cantharellus cibarius decoction and the effect of mushroom addition on the physicochemical and microbiological properties of frankfurters during refrigerated storage were studied. Mushroom addition significantly reduced (p <
A Kinematic Analysis of Three Best 100 m Performances Ever
2013
The purpose of this investigation was to compare and determine the relevance of the morphological characteristics and variability of running speed parameters (stride length and stride frequency) between Usain Bolt’s three best 100 m performances. Based on this, an attempt was made to define which factors determine the performance of Usain Bolt's sprint and, therefore, distinguish him from other sprinters. We analyzed the previous world record of 9.69 s set in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the current record of 9.58 s set in the 2009 Berlin World Championships in Athletics and the O lympic record of 9.63 s set in 2012 London Olympics Games by Usain Bolt. The application of VirtualDub Programme …
Caratteri adattivi della resilienza : la sperimentazione di Tangible Media Group e la progettazione adattiva per le crisi del futuro
2022
The Adaptive Characters of Resilience Designing adaptive and resilient architecture could constitute an opportunity to re-think the immovable architectural characters, above all the firmitas, and to define a new paradigm of resilient adaptivity. Defining an adaptive methodology means being able to go beyond the actual strategies, which focus on technological solutions or social policies. The aim of this paper is to illustrate a different scenario for the near future design by introducing the vision-based design approach of the Tangible Media Group, and specifically three of their latest prototypes, which merge the physicality of the real-world with the flexibility of the natural and digital…
Optimal sample allocation conditioned on a small area model, estimator, and auxiliary data
2018
We have studied optimal sample allocation, associated with small area estimation, when the objective is to obtain as accurate estimates as possible, for the population and for the subpopulations, called as areas here. It is a question of a two-level optimization problem. The basic premise is composed of planned areas, stratified sampling, and small overall sample size predetermined by restricted time and budget resources. Low sample sizes are common in market surveys. During this thesis, we have developed new allocation methods, based on a small area model, estimator, and auxiliary data. The final method, the three-term Pareto allocation, is based on the three terms of the mean-squared erro…
Accuracy of Transient Elastography in Assessing Fibrosis at Diagnosis in Naïve Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis: A Dual Cut-Off Approach
2021
Background & aims Liver fibrosis holds a relevant prognostic meaning in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Non-invasive fibrosis evaluation using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is routinely performed. However, there is limited evidence on its accuracy at diagnosis in PBC. We aimed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of VCTE in assessing advanced fibrosis at disease presentation in PBC. Approach & results We collected data from 167 consecutive treatment-naive PBC patients who underwent liver biopsy(LB) at diagnosis at six Italian centers. VCTE examinations were completed within 12 weeks of LB. Biopsies were scored by two blinded expert pathologists, according to Ludwig sy…
Theoretical and experimental studies of some main group compounds : from closed shell interactions to singlet diradicals and stable radicals
2012
Acquiring knowledge of different interactions within and between molecules is a fascinating undertaking as it not only deepens our understanding of chemical bonding but also offers insight into electronic structures, molecular properties and the connections between these two. This dissertation combines together three main group chemistry related topics within the aforementioned theme. Research presented in the first third of this dissertation describes wave function and density functional theory studies of weak inter- and intramolecular interactions in pnictogen-based dimers X3Pn···PnX3 (Pn = N-Bi; X = F-I), dithallenes RTlTlR (R = H, Me, tBu, Ph) and octachalcogen dications Ch82+ (Ch = S, …
Colorimetric Characterization of a Positive Film Scanner Using an Extremely Reduced Training Data Set
2011
International audience; In this work, we address the problem of having an accurate colorimetric characterization of a scanner for traditional posi- tive film in order to guarantee the accuracy of the color informa- tion during the digitization of a movie. The scanning of a posi- tive film is not an usual task, however it can happen for cultural heritage purpose. Art-movies, are often created and stored as positive-film in museums. One of the problems one can face for a colorimetric characterization is to have a reasonable number of measurements from an item. In this work we succeeded in having a reasonable accuracy with just a few number of measurement (typically 4 to 7 ∆Ea∗b units with 2 t…
Rola chlorku magnezu jako nośnika katalizatorów Zieglera-Natty
2000
Structural examination data are presented for various supports. Porosimetry (Table 2) and particle size distribution studies on MgCl 2, MgCl 2(THF) 2, Al 2O 3 as supports, carried out prior to and after ball-milling (Figs. 1, 3), suggest that MgCl 2 is beneficial as carrier because it is more liable to pretreatment (ball-milling, presence of a Lewis base) and allows its mass to be better utilized and its surface to produce catalytically active centers. Prolonged ball-milling of MgCl 2 was found to result not only in comminuted particles but also in increased specific area and larger pore volume. Studies on synthesis conditions of a vanadium precursor supported on MgCl 2(THF) 2 showed prolon…
Edaphyc characteristics and floristic composition of the seasonally dry forest la menta and timbes, Piura Region, Peru
2011
Con el objetivo de contribuir al conocimiento de los ecosistemas naturales del país, se determinó las características edáficas y la composición florística del bosque estacionalmente seco (La Menta, 04º 43' 55" LS y 80º 04' 55" LO, provincia de Piura y Timbes, 04º 44' 58" LS y 80º 03' 33" LO, provincia de Ayabaca), ambos en la región Piura, Perú. El área de estudio abarcó una extensión aproximada de 6 000 hectáreas en un rango altitudinal entre 350 m a 1 350 m. En cada bosque se muestrearon 5 transectos de 10 x 50 m a intervalos de 20 m, sumando un total de 2 500 m². El análisis de suelo reveló niveles bajos de materia orgánica, nitrógeno y potasio y medios de fósforo asimilable. Estos suelo…
Characterization of a bean landrace from Sicily: the ‘fagiolo Badda di Polizzi'
2008
Inside the project “Piano per la Produzione di Proteine Vegetali in Sicilia” investigations were carried out to characterize a bean population cultivated in the Parco delle Madonie area, the ‘Fagiolo Badda di Polizzi’. The producers’ interest for this landrace and the appreciation of the consumers could justify the start up of a valorization program through a product certification. Researches on the morpho-physiological aspects and on the nutritional profile were made in trials conducted between 2005 and 2007. All the Badda bean accessions showed an indeterminate plant growth habit, white flowers and a very delayed flowering time. In particular, a certain variability was seen and described …
