The Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn and its Aftermath in Sweden and Finland
2010
This article analyses the Peace Treaty of Fredrikshamn (Hamina in Finnish) and its consequences in Sweden and Finland. The Russians set strict preconditions for the commencement of peace negotiations with the Swedes in the summer of 1809. These conditions were realized almost <em>in toto</em> in the final peace treaty, which consisted of just twenty-one articles. In addition to regulations directly related to the ending of hostilities, the main provisions of the agreement entailed huge territorial losses for Sweden, strictly defining the regions it was to cede to Russia, the most important of which was Finland. Sweden was also enjoined to give up its alliance with Britain and to…
Sympathetic cooling of protons and antiprotons with a common endcap Penning trap.
2017
We present an experiment to sympathetically cool protons and antiprotons in a Penning trap by resonantly coupling the particles to laser cooled beryllium ions using a common endcap technique. Our analysis shows that preparation of (anti)protons at mK temperatures on timescales of tens of seconds is feasible. Successful implementation of the technique will have immediate and significant impact on high-precision comparisons of the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons. This in turn will provide some of the most stringent tests of the fundamental symmetries of the Standard Model.
Commissioning of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer with cosmic rays
2010
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider has collected several hundred million cosmic ray events during 2008 and 2009. These data were used to commission the Muon Spectrometer and to study the performance of the trigger and tracking chambers, their alignment, the detector control system, the data acquisition and the analysis programs. We present the performance in the relevant parameters that determine the quality of the muon measurement. We discuss the single element efficiency, resolution and noise rates, the calibration method of the detector response and of the alignment system, the track reconstruction efficiency and the momentum measurement. The results show that the detector i…

Autoimmunity to the p53 protein is a feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) related to anti-DNA antibodies.
2001
The induction of anti-DNA autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients is problematic because mammalian DNA is poorly immunogenic at best. Here we demonstrate a chain of connected antibodies in SLE patient sera that could account for the induction of anti-DNA antibody, and possibly for some of the pathogenic features of SLE. We now report that SLE patients, in addition to anti-DNA, produce antibodies to the carboxy-terminal domain of the tumour suppressor molecule p53; this p53 domain recognizes damaged DNA. Hence, these anti-p53 antibodies could mimic damaged DNA immunologically. Indeed, SLE sera do contain anti-idiotypic antibodies to a prototypic anti-p53 antibody. Moreo…

Cytokine Polymorphism in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy

IMIN11. Cytokine Polymorphism in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy P. Di Gangi1, L. Scola1, S. Giambanco1, M. Bova1, G. Santini1, L. Vaccarino1, C. R. Balistreri1, D. Lio1, P. Assennato1, S. Novo1, G. Novo1 1University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy Background: Takotsubo (TT) cardiomyopathy is characterised by an acute left ventricular dysfunction triggered by emotional or physical stresses. Clinically, the syndrome is characterised by acute symptoms mimicking acute infarction without relevant electrocardiographic and biochemical markers of myocardial damage changes. Stressful events inducing an excess catecholamine release and myocardial β-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) seem to play a major role in TT. Ac…
Kähler manifolds with split tangent bundle
2006
( Varietes kahleriennes a fibre tangent scinde). - On etudie dans cet article les varietes kahleriennes compactes dont le fibre tangent se decompose en somme directe de sous-fibres. En particulier, on montre que si le fibre tangent se decompose en somme directe de sous-fibres en droites, alors la variete est uniformisee par un produit de courbes. Les methodes sont issues de la theorie des feuilletages de (co)dimension 1.
Alternative approach to populate and study the $^{229}Th$ nuclear clock isomer
2019
A new approach to observe the radiative decay of the $^{229}$Th nuclear isomer, and to determine its energy and radiative lifetime, is presented. Situated at a uniquely low excitation energy, this nuclear state might be a key ingredient for the development of a nuclear clock, a nuclear laser and the search for time variations of the fundamental constants. The isomer's $\gamma$ decay towards the ground state will be studied with a high-resolution VUV spectrometer after its production by the $\beta$ decay of $^{229}$Ac. The novel production method presents a number of advantages asserting its competitive nature with respect to the commonly used $^{233}$U $\alpha$-decay recoil source. In this …
