Combined pharmacological treatment of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
1990
Combined therapy of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia using a non-systemically acting drug (bile acid sequestrants) and a systemically acting one is frequently employed in clinical practice. A brief review of this topic is presented, with particular emphasis on the use of cholestyramine combined with pravastatin, a new HMG CoA reductase inhibitor.
A Novel Energy Model for MANETs based on Graphs with Activation Windows
2005
Energy usage optimization is still an important issue and a critical design factor for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Only recently a few proposals appeared that consider energy-aware optimizations for routing protocols. In this paper we describe an analytical model for MANETs which is based on graphs with activation windows. The activation windows allow to model the on-off status of the network devices. Moreover, we propose an algorithm with pseudo-polynomial complexity, called STP algorithm (STPA), that based on the current position and state of the nodes determines the shortest time path between the source node and the destination node.
Lifespan-Aware Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks
2010
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have the capability to become the eyes and ears for the future networked society allowing monitoring of any habitat or object's properties remotely and independently of an energy source. Services based on this technology may change the way we monitor and control remote areas and objects. In this paper we propose a different approach to routing data across Wireless Sensor Networks. We argue that a distance-vector protocol using a lifespan-aware metric is a plausible solution to the task of routing information in WSN in a manner that both saves energy of the individual node and manages summarized energy of the system equally and fairly. The concept is designed …
IL RUOLO DEL PATRIMONIO NEL PROGETTO URBANO MARSIGLIA E TUNISI, CITTÁ DEL MEDITERRANEO
La ricerca si occupa del rapporto tra le nuove modalità di trasformazione della città mediterranea e le nuove strategie di rigenerazione e valorizzazione del patrimonio materiale e immateriale. Comprendere qual è il ruolo del patrimonio nel processo di trasformazione e crescita della città mediterranea, attraverso la pratica del progetto urbano, è la questione principale della tesi, che si inserisce nel campo delle ricerche sulle modalità di trasformazione della città contemporanea. La ricerca si interroga, inoltre, su quale sia il rapporto che oggi lega il patrimonio e la sviluppo sostenibile, ambiti non più antitetici ma complementari, in una costruzione reciproca di simbologie e differen…
From cars to bikes – the feasibility and effect of using e-bikes, longtail bikes and traditional bikes for transportation among parents of children a…
2017
Abstract Background The present study aims to increase bicycling and level of physical activity (PA), and thereby promote health in parents of toddlers, by giving access to different bicycle types. There is a need for greater understanding of e-bikes and their role in the transportation network, and further effects on PA levels and health. Moreover, longtail bikes could meet certain practical needs not fulfilled by e-bikes or traditional bikes, hence increased knowledge regarding their feasibility should be obtained. No previous studies have investigated whether providing an e-bike or a longtail bike over an extended period in a sample of parents of toddlers influence objectively assessed a…
The MOBI-Kids Study Protocol: Challenges in Assessing Childhood and Adolescent Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields from Wireless Telecommunication Tec…
2014
The rapid increase in mobile phone use in young people has generated concern about possible health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF). MOBI-Kids, a multinational case–control study, investigates the potential effects of childhood and adolescent exposure to EMF from mobile communications technologies on brain tumor risk in 14 countries. The study, which aims to include approximately 1,000 brain tumor cases aged 10–24 years and two individually matched controls for each case, follows a common protocol and builds upon the methodological experience of the INTERPHONE study. The design and conduct of a study on EMF exposure an…

Lo scritto è un commento agli articoli da 50 a 58 del Regolamento n. 650 del 2012 del Parlamento Europeo e del Consiglio del 4 luglio 2012, relativo alla competenza, alla legge applicabile, al riconoscimento e all’esecuzione delle decisioni e all’accettazione e all’esecuzione degli atti pubblici in materia di successioni e alla creazione di un certificato successorio europeo. Lo scritto affronta i temi relativi alla impugnazione avverso la decisione emessa in seguito alla istanza per il riconoscimento delle sentenze e dei provvedimenti stranieri nelle materie oggetto del regolamento; il procedimento per impugnare le sentenza emesse in seguito all'appello; il rifiuto o la revoca del riconosc…
The Nature Tour Mobile Learning Application. Implementing the Mobile Application in Finnish Early Childhood Education Settings
2014
This paper explores the process and impact of the implementation of the Nature Tour mobile learning application in Finnish early childhood education settings. The interest is to explore whether the concept of Nature Tour mobile application meets the needs of early childhood education in field trips. The idea of the mobile application is to help recording and comparing nature observations as well as to arouse children’s interest in nature. The feasibility of the mobile application was evaluated through a theoretical framework, which includes the core aspects of mobile learning. The evaluation framework consists of two levels titled core level and medium level. Three of the core level aspects…

Per un uso sostenibile e duraturo del territorio
2014
Valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale materiale e immateriale, uso integrato, duraturo e sostenibile del territorio, partecipazione della comunità locale ai processi decisionali e gestionali del territorio, sono gli elementi che concorrono a definire e caratterizzare il progetto ecomuseale. The free museum in perenne trasformazione, che non è delimitato da mura e si espande al territorio e diventa ovunque prendendo la forma e la dimensione del paesaggio. Il prefisso eco non indica un museo naturalistico a impronta ecologica con aspetti prevalentemente rappresentativi e statici, ma piuttosto, un insieme di fattori tra natura, paesaggio, paesaggio artificiale prodotto dalla relazione simbio…
