New investigations in the North-East quarter of Motya. The archaic cemetery and Building J
2017
In June 2013 the University of Palermo excavations on Motya were resumed. The main goal of the new project is to investigate the north-east quarter of the Phoenician settlement and its urban development since the time of its foundation. Two main areas of excavation were opened. In the early cemetery sixteen cremation burials of the archaic period were uncovered. The most striking discoveries, never attested before, were a tomb containing Hellenistic offerings, and the occurrence of archaic infant cremations. The second excavation was conducted east of Zone K in Building J, which is characterized by its use of a fine ‘pier and rubble’ construction technique. Two rooms have been partially cle…
Vascular complications on arterial puncture site after coronaric and peripheral angiography
2011
Il cateterismo cardiaco, l'angiografia coronarica e periferica e le procedure interventistiche sono tecniche contrastografiche che prevedono la visualizzazione radiografica dei vasi coronarici e periferici dopo l'iniezione selettiva di mezzo di contrasto radiopaco. Si tratta di tecniche relativamente sicure, anche se esiste un certo rischio di morbilità e mortalità. Nel nostro studio abbiamo valutato le varie complicanze mettendole in relazione con fattori demografici e clinici, terapie, caratteristiche della puntura e della procedura.
Active learning in digital communications with low-cost software defined radio
2021
Las comunicaciones digitales se enseñan tradicionalmente en sesiones de laboratorio desde un punto de vista teórico, utilizando plataformas de simulación. Sin embargo, el sistema de Acreditación Académica incluye la dimensión de "lo que se espera que los estudiantes sean capaces de hacer", lo que plantea la necesidad de disminuir la brecha entre las sesiones de laboratorio simuladas y un enfoque más práctico y realista. En este trabajo, proponemos una metodología para mejorar el aprendizaje de los aspectos prácticos relacionados con los cursos de Comunicaciones Digitales, así como para aumentar la motivación de los estudiantes, mediante el uso de dispositivos de radio definida por software …
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma classification: the matter of cellular derivation.
2011
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) represent approximately 12% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in Western countries. They are quite heterogeneous as far as morphology and phenotype are concerned. Furthermore, until now, PTCLs could not be referred to specific normal counterparts, in contrast to B-cell-derived non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. In particular, in the last edition of the WHO classification of Tumors of the Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, for the majority of nodal PTCLs (including the not otherwise specified type and anaplastic large-cell lymphoma), the postulated cell of origin remained undefined. However, in the last few years, high-throughput genomic techniques, especially gene-ex…
Computer Structure Laboratory
2019
La asignatura "Estructura de Computadores" es una asignatura obligatoria de segundo curso del Grado en Ingeniería Multimedia y del Grado en Ingeniería Informática. Tiene asignada una dedicación de 6 ECTS, siendo de carácter obligatorio en los dos grados. El material desarrollado son un total de 8 sesiones de laboratorio de 2 horas y media cada una, donde se estudia: jerarquía de memoria, centrándose en la memoria cache (3 sesiones), entrada y salida (2 sesiones) y periféricos (3 sesiones). En las 5 primeras prácticas se utiliza un software (MipsIt) que simula una máquina MIPS. En las 3 últimas sesiones se utiliza una máquina virtual con Linux. Las prácticas parten de ejemplos ya preparados …
Efficacy and tolerability of a fixed dose combination of cortex phospholipid liposomes and cyanocobalamin for intramuscular use in peripheral neuropa…
2019
Peripheral neuropathies are frequently encourtered in clinical practice and are assiociated with a major impairment in quality of life . Howewvwr, their management reamans poor, and current therapies are often burdened with major side effects and can present poor efficacy on pain and functionality. Therefore, it has been suggested that the combination of two or more different drugs may improve analgesis efficacy and reduce side effects. Tricortin 1000 is formulated with 12 mg of Brain cortex phospholipid liposomes + 1000 microgrammi of Cyanocobalamin injectable (PL+ CNCb1) for intramuscolar use and is indicated in the tratment of poly-algo-neuropathic syndromes. This combination exerts a ma…
High fat diet rapidly induces brain-plasticity-related transcriptomic signature in hypothalamus: role in energy homeostasis
2010
Poster board E12 (1 page) ; Session 203 - Food intake regulation 3 - Abstract n° 203.1 - Publication ref.: FENS Abstr., vol.5, 203.1, 2010; International audience; We have investigated the early events that are induced by a hypercaloric hyperlipidic diet in mice. The high fat diet rapidly induced metabolic imbalance, as soon as the first day, which is characterized. by a large increase in energy intake and several others metabolic alterations such as. hypercholesterolemia, and glucose intolerance. However, the diet-induced metabolic imbalance was. fully reversed after a week, suggesting that a physiological adaptive response has been then induced,. probably in order to counteract the delete…
Some Plant Defense Stimulators can induce IL-1β production in human immune cells in vitro
2020
8 pages; International audience; Among Plant Protection Products (PPP), a new emerging category of pesticides act by stimulating plant defense in order to improve plant resistance against microbial pathogens. Given that these compounds, the so-called Plant Defense Stimulators (PDS) act on innate immunity, we tested, using an in vitro approach on human mononuclear leucocytes (PBMC), the potential toxicity (XTT assay) and inflammatory effects (production of IL-1β) of 4 PPP belonging to different chemical families. We found that two products (LBG-01F34® and Regalis®) did not induce any cytotoxicity or IL-1 β production. The product BION-50 WG®, that contains Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and sili…
A feasibility analysis on the use of ultrasonic multihop communications for E-health applications
2017
Rise in population aging as well as diffusion of chronic diseases and health consciousness require constant monitoring of health conditions but also lead to increasing costs for the governments. Body Area Networks represent the next frontier in health care and are envisaged as the natural choice to provide detailed and updated information on health status to prevent health risks and diseases. However if, on the one hand, a large research effort has been devoted so far to the investigation of BAN communications on and around the body, on the other hand intra-BAN communications are still a scarcely explored area because of the difficulties and risks in successfully propagating signals inside …
Climate-growth relationships of Quercus gussonei (Borzì) Brullo in the Mediterranean region: adaptive traits and water use efficiency.
2016
Due to their marginal distribution, peripheral tree populations are highly vulnerable and are more likely to be influenced by extreme climate conditions. This occurrence is known to cause dieback in many species at their Mediterranean margins. Quercus gussonei (Borzì) Brullo is a deciduous oak endemic of Sicily. It is a thermophilous, peripheral form of Quercus cerris L. which is showing an incipient but ongoing decline. A deeper ecophysiological knowledge is urgently needed on this species in order to plan proper conservation actions and reduce the risk of its extinction. In the aim to understand at what extent changes in environmental conditions could be responsible for Q. gussonei declin…
