Uncertainty management in the measurements for the electric power quality analysis
2014
The paper deals with the uncertainty estimation in the measurements performed to assess the electric power quality. In a first steps, all the error sources, which give a significant contribution to the combined uncertainty associated to the measurement results, are identified. Successively, in order to analyze how the errors combine and propagate through the measurement chain, four approaches are proposed and validated. These approaches entail a greater and greater uncertainty overestimation, but, at the same time, require less and less time and resources. Therefore, the four methodologies are perfectly adequate for the implementation of the PUMA (Procedure for Uncertainty Management) metho…
The landscape of strongholds
2016
La difesa dei territori ha offerto risultati straordinari alla formazione e alla trasformazione del territorio e del paesaggio, a volte con tratti spettacolari e dimensioni incredibili. La celebrazione del centenario dell’inizio della Prima guerra mondiale ha offerto lo spunto per una riflessione sulle ricadute indotte sul paesaggio dagli eventi bellici, e più in generale dalla realizzazione di strutture difensive e del loro rapporto con il paesaggio circostante. Territorial defence led to extraordinary results in terms of forming and transforming the territory and landscape, at times with spectacular sights and incredible sizes. The one hundred year anniversary since the beginning of the F…

Città d'acqua e di luce, tra storia e trasformazione
2014
Il testo costituisce una relazione a un Convegno internazionale, e affronta il tema di due città , Palermo e Lisbona: nel loro rapporto con l'acqua (il mare, il porto; il fronte sul Tejo) e nelle trasformazioni urbane conseguenti, connesse a progetti e realizzazioni architettoniche di qualità
The COMPASS Setup for Physics with Hadron Beams
2015
The main characteristics of the COMPASS experimental setup for physics with hadron beams are described. This setup was designed to perform exclusive measurements of processes with several charged and/or neutral particles in the final state. Making use of a large part of the apparatus that was previously built for spin structure studies with a muon beam, it also features a new target system as well as new or upgraded detectors. The hadron setup is able to operate at the high incident hadron flux available at CERN. It is characterised by large angular and momentum coverages, large and nearly flat acceptances, and good two and three-particle mass resolutions. In 2008 and 2009 it was successful…
Resolving lesions in human cutaneous leishmaniasis predominantly harbour chemokine receptor CXCR3-positive T helper 1/T cytotoxic type 1 cells
2009
Summary Background Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an epidemic disease affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Treatment options have several side-effects and a vaccine does not exist at present. Objectives To translate information about protection against CL from mice to man, we studied the local immune response in CL skin biopsies and correlated these findings with clinical information. Methods The frequency of inflammatory cells was determined in skin biopsies of 20 patients diagnosed with CL using immunohistochemistry. In addition, the nature of the resulting adaptive immune response was assessed by (double) immunostaining against CD4 and chemokine receptors CXCR3 (T helper 1, T…
AB0189 Macrophages polarization in the gut of patients with ankylosing spondylitis
2013
Background Subclinical gut inflammation occurs in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and long term evolution to overt Crohn’s disease (CD) has been described in these patients. Gut mucosal macrophages represent the largest pool of tissue macrophages in the body. Different pathways of macrophage activation have been described in humans. Objectives To study the macrophages polarization occurring in the inflamed gut of AS patients. Methods Twenty two consecutive HLA-B27 + Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) patients, 15 Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients and 15 normal controls were included in this study. Four AS patients developed an overt CD during the follow-up and were included. Ileal macrophage…
An interesting approach for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis: Wáng et al., “A combined use of intravoxel incoherent motion MRI parameters can differ…
2017
Since its description in 1986 by Le Bihan et al. , intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion MR imaging has made great progresses (1-4). Many studies demonstrated the influence of various pathologies on the diffusion parameters especially in case of cirrhosis and fibrosis. However, few of them are useful at the individual level because of the variability of IVIM values (5). It is indeed very difficult to measure precisely PF and Dfast (6,7). Many published work tried to improve the precision of the measurements, tries to better understand the diffusion patterns, improve the image acquisition sequences or image post-processing. Unfortunately, till today, the reproducibility of the IVIM d…
Izglītojošās spēles vārdu krājuma bagātināšanai angļu valodas stundās pieaugušajiem
2017
Diplomdarba autors pasniedzēju darbības novērošanas procesā atzīmēja, ka izglītojošo spēļu izmantošana angļu valodas jauniešu apmācībā bieži atstāta novartā. Tādēļ, šī darba mērķis bija pētījums: kā izglītojošās spēles bagātina jauniešu vārdu krājumu angļu valodas nodarbībās. Pētījuma metode ir gadījumu izpēte, kas ietver pārbaudes, lai apkopotu rezultātus pēc nodarbībām, izmantojot izglītojošās spēles, un darba lapas ar vingrinājumiem, aptauju par iemācīto leksiku un diskusiju, lai saņemtu atsauksmes no studējošiem. Tika atrasts, ka izglītojošo spēļu ietekmei uz angļu valodas apmācību ir daudz priekšrocību, tādas kā: koncentrācijas palielināšanos un uzmanības ilguma palielināšanos, nogurum…
Depressive Symptom Profiles Predict Specific Neurodegenerative Disease Syndromes in Early Stages
2020
Background: During early stages, patients with neurodegenerative diseases (NDG) often present with depressive symptoms. However, because depression is a heterogeneous disorder, more precise delineation of the specific depressive symptom profiles that arise early in distinct NDG syndromes is necessary to enhance patient diagnosis and care. Methods and Findings: Five-hundred and sixty four participants self-reported their depressive symptoms using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), including 111 healthy older control subjects (NC) and 453 patients diagnosed with one of six NDGs who were at the mild stage of disease (CDR® Dementia Staging Instrument ≤ 1) [186 Alzheimer's disease (AD), 76 be…
