Impact of Aortic Diameter Measurements at Three Anatomical Landmarks on Left Ventricular Output Calculation in Neonates

2021

OBJECTIVES To assess reproducibility and accuracy of left ventricular output (LVO) quantifications in neonates, when left ventricular outflow tract diameter (LVOTD) was measured at the hinges of the aortic valve (AV), at the aortic sinus (AS), and at the sinotubular junction (STJ). METHODS This was an observational study. In the first cohort of very preterm neonates, we assessed intraobserver and interobserver repeatability of LVOTD measured at the AV, AS, and STJ and of the corresponding LVO. In the second cohort of older neonates, we compared paired LVO measurements by echo and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS In the first cohort of 48 neonates, mean (standard deviation) weight a…

The occupation of the State Property

2019

Untitled occupation of the State property generates patrimonial, financial and economic damages. This phenomenon therefore prevents the owner and manager of the State property from effectively benefitting from their domain and hinders any economic development of the State property by slowing or stopping further investment into the State property. Untitled occupation is also a phenomenon that goes beyond the interests of the owner and manager of the domain since it is likely to create a competitive disadvantage between regular and illegal occupants.While it is impossible to fight untitled occupation of state property in the long term due to its protean and recurrent nature, the only solution…

B-mode versus A-mode ultrasonographic measurements of mucosal thickness in vivo

2002

Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the measurement accuracy of A-mode and B-mode ultrasonographic assessments of palatal masticatory mucosal thickness in vivo. Study Design: Thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa in the molar region of 50 volunteers was measured once with a B-mode ultrasound device (10 MHz) combined with a standoff for intraoral applications. At identical reading points thickness was also assessed with an A-mode device (5 replicates) and by needle probing for determination of true thickness. Results: On average true thickness ranged between 2.9 and 3.3 mm (95% confidence intervals; median, 3.1 mm). B-mode ultrasonography overestimated truth by 0…

We Are Still In! Conference report from the 2018 Ceres Conference

2018

This is a report on the 2018 Ceres Conference that took place from April 24 to 26 at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, MA. The conference theme was “Scale Up!” while the discussion centered mainly around the “We Are Still In!” movement that has emerged after the pull-out of the Paris Climate Agreement by the Trump administration. The conference was mainly attended by institutional investors, company executives and capital market leaders as well as NGOs and academics. The conference consisted of four plenary and four panel sessions as well as various networking events. nonPeerReviewed

Le limitazioni al regime di circolazione e valorizzazione delle azioni e quote, profili civilistici

2022

Il presente contributo propone l'analisi di alcuni strumenti giuridici offerti dall’autonomia privata in ambito societario, in modo da permettere all’imprenditore – in tutte le ipotesi in cui quest’ultimo intenda determinare, prima della sua morte, la successione dell’azienda di famiglia – di pianificare in modo efficace il passaggio generazionale, avvantaggiando o sfavorendo, a seconda dei casi, il trasferimento delle partecipazioni societarie, con il proposito di disinnescare i rischi di disgregazione dell’unità dell’impresa e di conflitti tra i membri della famiglia. This contribution proposes the analysis of some legal instruments offered by private autonomy in the corporate sphere, in …

Updated Standard Model Prediction for ε′/ε

2018

Abstract A recent lattice evaluation of e ′ / e , finding a 2.1 σ deviation from the experimental value, has revived the old debate about a possible e ′ / e anomaly. The unfounded claims of a too low Standard Model prediction are based on incorrect estimates that neglect the long-distance re-scattering of the final pions in K → 2 π . In view of the current situation, we have recently updated the Standard Model calculation, including all known short- and long-distance contributions. Our result, Re ( e ′ / e ) = ( 15 ± 7 ) ⋅ 10 − 4 [H. Gisbert and A. Pich, “Direct CP violation in K 0 → π π : Standard Model Status”, Rept. Prog. Phys. 81 (2018) no. 7, 076201 arXiv:1712.06147 [hep-ph] .], is in …

The Content of Economic Partnership Agreements

2021

This chapter contains the second part of exemplary EPA critique related to the content of the treaties. All relevant economic aspects and clauses of the trade-in-goods agreements are critically examined, including the market access offer, quantitative restrictions, trade remedies, export duties and subsidies, national treatment and procurement, and rules of origin. The agreed and proposed clauses are submitted to scrutiny of whether the remaining policy space still allows sensible infant industry protection in Africa. The analysis concludes that some policy space is left for targeted developmental efforts by African governments but is made very difficult in the practical management of the n…

A Joint Time-Space Domain Analysis for Ultra-Reliable Communication in 5G Networks

2018

Reliable communication is a fundamental service level agreement criterion in wireless networks. Moreover, it is a performance indicator for ultra- reliable communication (URC) in emerging 5G networks. In URC, the quality of the delivered services to end-users ultimately depends on the availability of network resources as well as the quality of the received signal. Therefore, in order to analyze URC in cellular networks, both time- dependent spectrum availability and space-dependent service quality need to be considered. In this paper, we present a combined time and space domain analysis on network reliability based on a continuous time Markov chain model. To this end, we introduce a new rel…

Normativity and collective recognition in Searle's account of language and social ontology

2015

Prendendo le mosse dalla tesi di John Searle che le istituzioni sono create e mantenute grazie al riconoscimento collettivo di funzioni di status secondo la forma logica “X conta come Y in C”, analizzO il ruolo cruciale delle regole costitutive nel percorso teorico searleano da Speech Acts a Making the Social World. Rendendo esplicito il parallelismo tra le regole costitutive che sottendono la realtà istituzionale e quelleche governano gli atti linguistici, miro a derivare da esse i criteri normativi per la valutazione razionale sia degli atti linguistici sia degli atti istituzionali. Mostro come tali criteri consentano di distinguere tra riconoscimento collettivo razionalmente motivato e r…
