Indagini diagnostiche nella chiesa di Santa Maria delle Stelle a Comiso
2012
La relazione riporta dettagliatamente gli esiti di una campagna d'indagini non distruttive e minimamente invasive svolte nella chiesa madre di Santa Maria delle Stelle a Comiso, su incarico della Soprintendenza ai Beni Culturali e Ambientali della Provincia di Ragusa. Le indagini diagnostiche comprendono la termografia all'infrarosso, l'indagine radar, l'indagine ultrasonica, le ispezioni endoscopiche, il controllo dell'umidità e le verifiche statiche. Technical Report regarding the outcome of a campaign of minimally invasive and non-destructive surveys conducted in the mother church of Santa Maria delle Stelle in Comiso (RG) on assignment by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage and Env…
Indagini Diagnostiche nell'Ex Chiesa Madre di Santa Margherita di Belice
2010
La relazione presenta in modo dettagliato gli esiti di una campagna d'indagini diagnostiche non distruttive e minimamente invasive svolte nella ex chiesa madre di Santa Margherita di Belice per supportare, in particolare, lo studio delle murature e della decorazione a stucco. Le indagini hanno supportato l'elaborazione del progetto definitivo e del progetto esecutivo del restauro, come prescritto dalla normativa di riferimento. The report presents in detail the results of a campaign of non-destructive and minimally invasive diagnostic surveys performed in the former mother church of Santa Margherita di Belice to support, in particular, the study of masonry and stucco decoration. The investi…
Contrasting neurochemical and behavioral profiles reflects stress coping styles but not stress responsiveness in farmed gilthead seabream (Sparus aur…
2020
In fish, as well as in other vertebrates, contrasting suites of physiological and behavioral traits, or coping styles, are often shown in response to stressors. However, the magnitude of the response (i.e. stress responsiveness) has been suggested to be independent of stress coping style. One central neurotransmitter that has been associated with both stress responsiveness and differences in stress coping styles is serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). In this study, we investigated to what extent stress responsiveness reflects differences in stress coping, and the potential involvement of the 5-HT system in mediating such differences in farmed Gilthead seabream. Initially, fish were class…
Two New Retigerane-Type Sesterterpenoids from the Lichen Leprocaulon microscopicum
2016
International audience; Two new sesterterpenes, 1 and 2, have been isolated from the lichen Leprocaulon microscopicum. In addition to classic chromatographic methods, a liquid-liquid chromatography technique, namely centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) was applied for the purification of compound 2. The structures were determined by analyses of mass spectrometry and 1D- and 2D-NMR data. The relative configuration of the isolated compounds was assigned on the basis of 2D-NOESY experiments. The two compounds possess a rare pentacyclic carbon skeleton typical for lichen metabolism, and quite unusual in the vegetal kingdom.
Influenza della temperatura di pirolisi e del tempo di residenza sulle proprietà fisico-chimiche del biochar prodotto da pollina
2013
La pollina è tradizionalmente utilizzata in agricoltura come fertilizzante organico grazie al suo alto contenuto in nutrienti immediatamente disponibili per le piante (principalmente azoto, potassio e fosforo). Nonostante i vantaggi apportati alle colture, l’eccessivo uso della pollina come ammendante del suolo può causare gravi problemi ambientali, tra cui rischi per la salute umana e lisciviazione di nitrati o altri inquinanti nelle acquee sotterranee. Per diminuire i rischi legati al suo utilizzo, una soluzione alternativa potrebbe essere il ri-utilizzo energetico della pollina tramite la sua conversione in biochar. Il biochar è una sostanza carboniosa derivante dalla pirolisi di qualsia…
Is routine second-look endoscopy effective after endoscopic hemostasis in acute peptic ulcer bleeding? A meta-analysis
2012
Background Routine second-look endoscopy in modern-era peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) remains controversial. Objective To assess the effectiveness of routine second-look endoscopy in patients with PUB exhibiting high-risk stigmata after standard medical care and endoscopic therapy. Design Comprehensive literature searches (1990-2011) were performed, seeking randomized trials comparing a routine with an as-needed second endoscopy. Main Outcome Measurements The main outcome was rebleeding. Secondary outcomes were surgery and mortality. Subanalyses assessed the influence of study quality, rebleeding definitions, endoscopic hemostasis modality, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapies. Analyses w…
Robotic Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Technical Considerations
2017
Robotic surgery can help to overcome some technical limitations of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy thanks to EndoWrist instrumentations and the 3D view. Despite the potential benefits, its employment is still low and controversial. We focused on some important technical details crucial for a safe robotic pancreatectomy. After performing 52 robotic pancreatic resections that included 10 pancreatoduodenectomies, the authors describe their technique. The review of literature on robotic and laparoscopic duodenopancreatectomy is also performed in order to evaluate possible benefits of the robotic platform. We describe the step-by-step surgical procedure, analyzing all possible troubleshooti…
Diagnosing Occupational Stress in Romanian Organisations
2014
Abstract The study investigates the complex topic of occupational stress, based on a comprehensive model of stress diagnosis and management for romanian employees (N=1026 participants), at individual and organizational level. The following multidimensional components of the dynamic stress process are measured with the romanian adapted version of Pressure Management Indicator (PMI, Williams & Cooper, 1998 ; PMI-RO, Brate, 2004 , Brate, 2006 , Brate, 2008 ): stressors, effects, individual differences and coping strategies. Specific significant influences and associations between stressors, individual differences, coping strategies and perceived effects of occupational stress are presented. Fu…
Evaluation of reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT/PCR) for the detection of rotaviruses: applications of the assay.
1996
Summary Our aim was to evaluate the reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT/PCR) technique for the detection of rotavirus shedding by infected children as a routine diagnostic procedure, in comparison to the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), electron microscopy (EM) and polyacrylamide gel etectrophoresis (PAGE) of rotavirus double stranded RNA. Two-hundred and twenty stool specimens were collected from infants and young children with diarrhoea, and 10–20% faecal suspensions were made. Several methods of rotavirus dsRNA extraction were assayed. Electrophoretic analysis of viral RNA was carried out on 10% polyacrylamide gols followed by silver staining. RT/PCR was per…
