Mechanical and environmental performance comparisons of improved asphalt pavement wearing courses with high quality aggregates, steel slags, and poly…
2023
The use of waste materials in the construction of hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements is an important opportunity for environmental sustainability. When properly designed, the alternative mixtures may also guarantee excellent mechanical performance. In this study, the results of an experimental analysis carried out on dense-graded HMAs are presented. In particular, the performance of a "traditional" surface mixture with limestone aggregate (designed with neat bitumen or a polymer-modified bitumen within the typical acceptance requirements for intended use in wearing courses) was compared with two alternative mixtures. The research investigated a surface mixture including coarse basaltic aggrega…
Financial Measures for Supporting Wind Power Systems in Europe: A Comparison between Green Tags and Feed’in Tariffs
2008
Distributed Generation demonstrates to be able to significantly influence the electric power system, bringing considerable benefits to the quality of service and improving the energetic efficiency of the distribution network. In particular, in the last few years, Distributed Generation from renewable energy sources is considerably increased thanks to the many support policies promoted worldwide with the aim of facing the environmental issue and the problem of the permanent rise of prices of the fossil energy. In this contest, after a brief review on the financing strategies carried out in Europe in the last decade for promoting the recourse to renewable energy, the paper presents a comparis…
Zwischen Zensur und Selbstzensur. Deutsche Literatur der Weimarer Republik in den italienischen Übersetzungen während des Faschismus

Die Zäsur von 1938: Das Italienische Verlagswesen und die deutsche Literatur in den letzten Jahren des Fascismo
2022
The history of Italian publishing industry in the last years of Fascism reveals different strategies, that outline a non-heterogeneous panorama of the positions taken by publishers towards the regime's cultural policy. Alongside the publishers, like Corticelli, Salani and Guanda, who were somehow ready to collaborate with the regime, there were others who found constant compromises to keep afloat even not unconditionally submit to the new rules. The article illustrates the main trends of this phenomenon, by focusing on the Mondadori case and illustrating some contradictions that characterized its editorial policy. Aus den angeführten Beispielen der verlegerischen Geschichte Italiens in den …

Pacientu mirstība pēc akūtiem ciskas kaula proksimālās daļas lūzumiem, salīdzinot operētus un neoperētus gadījumus
2018
Kopējai populācijai novecojot, paaugstinās vidējais vecums pacientiem ar ciskas kaula lūzumu un rodas lielāks risks blakus slimībām un sliktākam vispārējam stāvoklim. Aizvien pieaug to pacientu īpatsvars, kuriem tiek noteikta ASA III-IV klase. Svarīgi ir izvērtēt, kāda būtu optimālākā ārstēšanas metode pacientiem ar sliktu vispārējo stāvokli. Tika veikts retrospektīvs pētījums. Pētījumā tika iekļauti pacienti, kas stacionēti akūti ”Traumatoloģijas un ortopēdijas slimnīcā” ar S72.0, S72.1, S72.2 diagnozēm pēc SSK-10 laika posmā no 2014. gada maija līdz 2016. gada jūnijam. Pacienti tika sadalīti divās grupās: 1.tie, kuriem bija ķirurģiska ārstēšana, 2. tie, kuriem bija konservatīva terapija. …
Bonding efficacy of an acetone/based etch-and-rinse adhesive after dentin deproteinization
2012
Objectives: to evaluate the effect of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) treatment on dentin bonding by means of shear bond strength (SBS) measurements when using Prime&Bond NT (PB NT) adhesive. Ultrastructure of the interfaces was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Study design: Extracted human third molars were sectioned and ground to expose flat surfaces of superficial or deep dentin. Specimens were randomly assigned to two equal groups, and bonded as follows: (1) according to the manufacturers’ directions, after 35% H3PO4 etching, (2) 5% NaOCl treated for 2 minutes, after 35% H3PO4 etching. Each sample was embedded in a Watanabe shear test assembly for a single plane lap shear. Af…
Charged Tags for the Identification of Oxidative Drug Metabolites Based on Electrochemistry and Mass Spectrometry
2020
Abstract Most of the active pharmaceutical ingredients like Metoprolol are oxidatively metabolized by liver enzymes, such as Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases into oxygenates and therefore hydrophilic products. It is of utmost importance to identify the metabolites and to gain knowledge on their toxic impacts. By using electrochemistry, it is possible to mimic enzymatic transformations and to identify metabolic hot spots. By introducing charged‐tags into the intermediate, it is possible to detect and isolate metabolic products. The identification and synthesis of initially oxidized metabolites are important to understand possible toxic activities. The gained knowledge about the metabolism will…
'A Shared Reality between a Journalist and the Audience': How Live Journalism Reimagines News Stories
2021
Live journalism is a new journalistic genre in which journalists present news stories to a live audience. This article investigates the journalistic manuscripts of live journalism performances. With the focus on texts, the article reaches beyond the live performance to explore the wider implications and potentials pioneered by live journalists. The data were gathered from <em>Musta laatikko</em> (‘Black Box’) manuscripts, a live journalism production by the Finnish newspaper <em>Helsingin Sanomat</em>. The manuscripts were analysed as <em>eudaimonic journalism</em> through four conceptual dimensions: self-transcendence, autonomy, competence, and relatedne…
