Intensity of Italy's agri-food trade with countries outside the EU Mediterranean
2013
This paper aims to present a framework of trade relations between Italy and the countries of southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. More specifically, using the indicators proposed in the analysis of international trade, we want to analyse the intensity of trade in agri-food products and the strength of trade ties between the bordering Mediterranean countries. The analysis of the intensity of trade flows of food products from Italy and the partner countries of North Africa and the Near East has allowed us to trace a network of flows between the countries in the area. If we can see an overall weakening of the agri-food trade, the analysis for individual partner states, however…
Consumption of spices and ethnic contamination in the daily diet of Italians - consumers’ preferences and modification of eating habits
2021
AbstractCurrently, consumers appear to have diversified characteristics with regard to food tastes and consumption habits. The globalization of markets and the migration phenomenon contributed to the modification of food preferences of consumers who gradually introduce into their eating habits foods and recipes typical of the tradition of foreign countries. In this scenario, also in Italy, it is going to increase the use of “foreign products” with the consequent fusion of traditional cuisine techniques and recipes with ingredients that are typical of foreign countries and cultures. Foods and ingredients originally consumed in Asian or South American countries are increasingly consumed by It…
Seamless integration of MetaEdit+ and eclipse to combine modeling and coding
2012
Tool integration tries to help users by automating processes in software development. In literature integration is mostly shown from technical point of view leaving user related issues outside. In this paper tool integration is looked also from the perspective of software engineering process and the user involved in the process. Another aspect will be integrating design models and code. A case of tool integration will be presented. The first tool is MetaEdit+ which is a Domain-Specific Modeling environment. The other tool is Eclipse which is used for traditional software engineering. The integration aims to combine the modeling and coding activities which together support metamodelers and m…
Monte Carlo calculation of free energy for a fcc lattice-gas model
1990
A face-centered-cubic Ising lattice-gas model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions is studied, and an accurate determination of the transition temperature for the discontinuous order-disorder transition is obtained. This model is of interest in the studies of phase diagrams for metallic alloys. The location of the transition was previously not known accurately, and its estimation has a number of applications. Very accurate absolute free-energy densities for the two coexisting phases have been obtained from a combination of the standard thermodynamic integration method and the method of sampling finite-size dependence. The latent-heat also is calculated with good precision.
Capability-based Communication Analysis for Enterprise Modelling
2018
Capability-oriented enterprise modelling can provide effective solutions to face changing business context. In the business domain, the notion of capability has gained a lot of attention since it guides the activities of service specification and design. Simultaneously, the research community has been promoting the integration of model-driven development (MDD) approaches with enterprise modelling to support the link between enterprise and software specifications. This integration has becoming vital to ensure the traceability of enterprise models and software implementations, acceleration of software time to market, quality assurance, and enterprise model evolution support. The capability-dr…
Changes in Transport and Non Transport Costs: Local vs. Global Impacts in a Spatial Network
2007
We develop a multi-country Dixit-Stiglitz trade model and analyze how industry location and welfare respond to changes in: (i) transport frictions (e.g., infrastructure, transportation technology); and (ii) non-transport frictions (e.g., tariffs, standards and regulations). We show that changes in non-transport frictions, which are usually origin-destination specific, do not allow for any clear prediction as to changes in industry location and welfare; whereas changes in transport frictions, which are usually not origin-destination specific, may allow for such predictions. In particular, we show that reductions in transport frictions occurring at links around which the spatial network is lo…
Identification and enumeration of contacts based on localization data to reduce the risk of infection
2021
Kontaktu identificēšana un uzskaitīšana, izmantojot lokalizācijas datus, dod iespēju samazināt inficēšanās risku. Ātra iespēja uzskaitīt un identificēt potenciālos kontaktus starp cilvēkiem dod iespēju ātri ierobežot Covid-19 izplatību starp cilvēkiem. Bakalaura darbs norit projekta “Multdisciplināra pieeja Covid-19 un citu nākotnes epidēmiju monitorēšanai, kontrolei un ierobežošanai Latvijā” ietvaros, kur tiek analizēti izsekošanas sensoru dati telpā. Darbā tiek izstrādāts un testēts datu ielādes modelis, kas dod iespēju veikt attiecīgās datu transformācijas un atlasīšanas, lai precīzi identificētu un uzskaitītu cilvēku kontaktus telpā. Tiek apskatītas dažādas vizualizācijas kā izkliedes d…

Charge Pair Interactions in Transmembrane Helices and Turn Propensity of the Connecting Sequence Promote Helical Hairpin Insertion
2013
alpha-Helical hairpins, consisting of a pair of closely spaced transmembrane (TM) helices that are connected by a short interfacial turn, are the simplest structural motifs found in multi-spanning membrane proteins. In naturally occurring hairpins, the presence of polar residues is common and predicted to complicate membrane insertion. We postulate that the pre-packing process offsets any energetic cost of allocating polar and charged residues within the hydrophobic environment of biological membranes. Consistent with this idea, we provide here experimental evidence demonstrating that helical hairpin insertion into biological membranes can be driven by electrostatic interactions between clo…
Evaluating protein structures determined by structural genomics consortia.
2006
Structural genomics projects are providing large quantities of new 3D structural data for proteins. To monitor the quality of these data, we have developed the protein structure validation software suite (PSVS), for assessment of protein structures generated by NMR or X-ray crystallographic methods. PSVS is broadly applicable for structure quality assessment in structural biology projects. The software integrates under a single interface analyses from several widely-used structure quality evaluation tools, including PROCHECK (Laskowski et al., J Appl Crystallog 1993;26:283-291), MolProbity (Lovell et al., Proteins 2003;50:437-450), Verify3D (Luthy et al., Nature 1992;356:83-85), ProsaII (Si…
