Una nuova applicazione della Comparative Multiplex Dosage Analysis (CMDA)
2011
La Comparative Multiplex Dosage Analysis (CMDA) è una tecnica utilizzata per l’analisi di delezioni o duplicazioni di specifiche regioni del genoma (Gable et al. 2003 Hum Mutat 21:379-386). Il metodo si basa su di un’analisi quantitativa delle aree dei picchi di un elettroferogramma ottenuto da elettroforesi capillare condotta su frammenti di DNA amplificati con PCR e marcati con specifici fluorocromi. La presenza di sbilanciamenti è , in particolare, accertata misurando il rapporto tra le aree dei picchi corrispondenti alla regione da analizzare e una regione del genoma la cui dose è nota. In studi precedenti noi abbiamo applicato questa tecnica all’analisi di delezioni e duplicazioni di s…
Metilazione del DNA in artrite reumatoide
2005
Lo stato di metilazione del DNA genomico e del gene PTHrP è stato valutato con tecniche molecolari e citogenetiche in artrite reumatoide (AR), patologia autoimmune caratterizzata anche da alta incidenza di linfomi e da ipercalcemia per overespressione del gene PTHrP. La metilazione del DNA, infatti, ha un ruolo critico nello sviluppo delle malattie neoplastiche; il gene PTHrP avendo tre promotori uno dei quali contiene un’isola CpG è un buon candidato per la deregolazione da alterato pattern di metilazione locale. Le indagini sulla metilazione genomica, condotte su DNA estratto da sangue periferico di pazienti e di donatori e amplificato in reazioni di Methylation-Sensitive Arbitrarily Prim…

Random access with repeated contentions for emerging wireless technologies
2017
In this paper we propose ReCo, a robust contention scheme for emerging wireless technologies, whose efficiency is not sensitive to the number of contending stations and to the settings of the contention parameters (such as the contention windows and retry limits). The idea is iterating a basic contention mechanism, devised to select a sub-set of stations among the contending ones, in consecutive elimination rounds, before performing a transmission attempt. Elimination rounds can be performed in the time or frequency domain, with different overheads, according to the physical capabilities of the nodes. Closed analytical formulas are given to dimension the number of contention rounds in order…
Blind source separation for OFDM with filtering colored noise out
2011
Two blind algorithms that are developed with the intention of improving the symbol detection of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) techniques are proposed in this paper. OFDM systems are easy to equalize in implementations. The schemes are based on the theories of blind source separation (BSS). They are among the premier mechanisms used for extracting unobserved signals from observed mixtures in signal processing. In this study noise component of the received signal mixture is tried to be filtered out. A scalar energy function with the iterative fixed point rule for receive signal is used in determining the filter coefficients while taking the time correlation properties of t…
Research and Implementation of Energy Dispersal Algorithm for DRM System
2020
The article investigates the randomization algorithm of the OFDM signal energy used in modern digital broadcasting systems. Transmission part of the DRM system was modeled in MATLAB/Simulink software environment, bit sequences allocation tests were conducted using the original information signal and the corresponding modulation symbols with a scrambling algorithm and without it.
Combined approach for the investigation of dominant fermenting microbiota in two traditional sourdoughs produced in sicily
2017
In order to explore the community of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts present in two major typical Sicilian sourdoughs, seven mature sourdoughs for "Pane Nero di Castelvetrano" (CV1 - CV3 samples) and "Pane di Monreale" (MR1 - MR4 samples) were analysed through a culturedependent and culture-independent approach. The highest values of microbial counts were revealed in MR1 sourdough. In particular, LAB counts were at about 109 CFU/g in media specific for typical sourdough LAB, such as SDB and SFM, while levels of 106 CFU/g were registered for yeasts. The total DNA form each sourdough sample was extracted and subjected to a multiplex-PCR in order to recognize the major groups of LAB. Sev…
A performance study of LTE MIMO-OFDM systems using the extended one-ring MIMO channel model
2012
In this paper, we consider a long-term evolution (LTE) system for the downlink by using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) techniques. The downlink channel is modeled by the socalled extended MIMO one-ring model. This model extends the well-known narrowband one-ring model with respect to frequency selectivity. The symbol error rate (SER) performance of the LTE MIMO-OFDM system is investigated for the downlink by employing different kinds of spatial encoders, where it is assumed that the channel state information (CSI) is perfectly known. For comparison, the space-time block coding (STBC) scheme, the vertical Bell Laboratories layered spac…
Synthetic aperture superresolution with multiple off-axis holograms
2006
An optical setup to achieve superresolution in microscopy using holographic recording is presented. The technique is based on off-axis illumination of the object and a simple optical image processing stage after the imaging system for the interferometric recording process. The superresolution effect can be obtained either in one step by combining a spatial multiplexing process and an incoherent addition of different holograms or it can be implemented sequentially. Each hologram holds the information of each different frequency bandpass of the object spectrum. We have optically implemented the approach for a low-numerical-aperture commercial microscope objective. The system is simple and rob…
An Improved Receiver Architecture for Cyclic-Prefixed OFDM
2009
A novel Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing receiver architecture to be employed with standard (e.g. Wireless LAN) transmitters is proposed. It features enhanced error-rate performance with flexible computational complexity and robustness to imperfect channel estimation. It is based on exploitation of the redundancy available in the cyclic prefix after cancellation of interference from the previous block. In order to show the effectiveness of our proposal, a number of comparisons to the standard per-subcarrier receiver and a previously existing method are reported.
