KOSMOS 2017 Peru Side Experiment: nutrients, phytoplankton abundances, enzyme rates, photophysiology
2022
This data was collected during an short-term incubation experiment in March 2017 that investigated the response of a surface plankton community to upwelling. This experiment was carried in the framework of the SFB754-funded KOSMOS mesocosm study that took place in La Punta, Callao, Peru between February-April 2017. A total of six different treatments were used to disentangle chemical and biological characteristics of deep water that influence surface plankton blooms: 2 different deep water sources with different nutrient concentrations; 3 treatments to distinguish the effects of inorganic nutrients, organic nutrients and deep water microbial populations. Measured variables include inorganic…
Hard Two-Photon Contribution to Elastic Lepton-Proton Scattering Determined by the OLYMPUS Experiment
2017
The OLYMPUS collaboration reports on a precision measurement of the positron-proton to electron-proton elastic cross section ratio, $R_{2\gamma}$, a direct measure of the contribution of hard two-photon exchange to the elastic cross section. In the OLYMPUS measurement, 2.01~GeV electron and positron beams were directed through a hydrogen gas target internal to the DORIS storage ring at DESY. A toroidal magnetic spectrometer instrumented with drift chambers and time-of-flight scintillators detected elastically scattered leptons in coincidence with recoiling protons over a scattering angle range of $\approx 20\degree$ to $80\degree$. The relative luminosity between the two beam species was mo…
Combinatorics of Mumford-Morita-Miller classes in low genus
2003
Here we use elementary combinatorial arguments to give explicit formulae and relations for some cohomology classes of moduli spaces of stable curves of low genus.
Ricerca del saggio di capitalizzazione nel mercato immobiiare
2011
In the search of capitalization rate, the international valuation standards impose the reference to the data and the information of real estate market of the same segment or, very probably, in similar segments of the property being appraised. In this last case with adjustments of rents and market prices. The adjustments don’t concern the capitalization rate but rents and prices. Accordingly capitalization rate cannot be obtained by the rate other than real estate investments, for instance financial, because a property market segment, where data can be collected, always exists.
Ritorno al futuro. La tutela del consumatore nei foreign currency loans
2022
La diffusione di finanziamenti indicizzati al cambio fra valute ha sollevato, in numerosi ordinamenti dell’Unione Europea, il problema della tutela del consumatore avverso l’assunzione del rischio di cambio. Il paper muove dall’insufficienza del dato normativo eurounitario per interrogarsi sulla compatibilità dei rimedi previsti per le clausole abusive nell’affrontare il fenomeno in esame. In particolare, è passata in esame la dinamica fra convenzioni sul rischio e clausole che definiscono l’oggetto principale del contratto
Colonoscopic screening of first-degree relatives of patients with large adenomas: increased risk of colorectal tumors.
2007
International audience; Background & Aims: The risk of developing colorectal neoplasia is not well established among family members of individuals with large adenomas and screening strategies remain under debate in this population. This study aimed at quantifying the risk of colorectal adenomas and cancers using colonoscopic screening in first-degree relatives of patients with large adenomas. Methods: This case-control study was performed in 18 endoscopic units of French non-University Hospitals. A colonoscopy was offered to first-degree relatives of 306 index cases with adenomas ≥ 10 mm, if they were alive, aged 40-75 and could be contacted by the index case. Among 674 relatives meeting th…
Religious Diaspora: A New Approach to Its Existence and Meaning
2021
The present study aims to contribute to the discussion regarding the possibility of conceptualizing a religious diaspora. It proposes a new way of defining it, namely in relation to religious and not to ethno-territorial realities, but without editing the territorial dimension out. After sketching the definition on this theoretical basis, the study refers to six case studies, pointing to the way in which the definitory traits of a religious diaspora are actualized in each situation under study. The evaluation unravels the strengths of the concept as well as certain aspects that still need to be addressed in further research. The inference is that the capacity of religion to generate diaspor…
Imagery and Religious Conversion. The Symbolic Function of Jonah 1:13
2018
Jonah 1:13 has a delaying function in the narrative, introducing a pause between Jonah’s demand to be thrown in the sea (1:12) and the event’s occurrence (1:15). Most commentators discuss only the events of 1:13 and their causes. In this article, I suggest an interpretation of Jonah 1:13 based on the imagery of the narrative. An analysis of the use of metaphors and symbols does not replace the message of the verse; such an analysis simply augments it with motives of the seamen’s conversion. Beside the narrative level, there is a hidden level suggesting a deeper understanding of the story where symbols and metaphors have a consolidating function. Distance, directions, and movement in Jonah 1…
Medium-term effects of bisoprolol administration on renal hemodynamics and function in mild to moderate essential hypertension
2007
Arterial hypertension is a significant cause of end-stage renal failure; effective treatment of hypertensive patients reduces the rate of progression of this disorder. ss-Blockers, particularly nonselective agents, are associated with deterioration of renal function in patients with chronic renal failure. Previous studies on the interaction of the beta1-selective adrenergic antagonist bisoprolol with kidney function have been performed only acutely and over the short term. This study was designed to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy and effects on renal hemodynamics and function of bisoprolol during medium-term (6 mo) treatment of patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension. …
