Measurement of the quadratic slope parameter in the K-L -> 3 pi(0) decay Dalitz plot
2001
A value of (-6.1 +- 0.9_{stat} +- 0.5_{syst})*10^{-3} is obtained for the quadratic slope parameter h in the K_L -> 3\pi^0 decay Dalitz plot at the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS. The result is based on 14.7*10^6 fully reconstructed K_L -> 3\pi^0 -> 6\gamma decays. This is the most precise measurement of any of the Dalitz plot slope parameters in the charged and neutral kaon decays so far.
Paratransgenic manipulation of a tsetse microRNA alters the physiological homeostasis of the fly’s midgut environment
2021
Tsetse flies are vectors of parasitic African trypanosomes, the etiological agents of human and animal African trypanosomoses. Current disease control methods include fly-repelling pesticides, fly trapping, and chemotherapeutic treatment of infected people and animals. Inhibiting tsetse’s ability to transmit trypanosomes by strengthening the fly’s natural barriers can serve as an alternative approach to reduce disease. The peritrophic matrix (PM) is a chitinous and proteinaceous barrier that lines the insect midgut and serves as a protective barrier that inhibits infection with pathogens. African trypanosomes must cross tsetse’s PM in order to establish an infection in the fly, and PM struc…
Evaluation of the podalic support in subjects with dyslexia: a pilot study

“Podalirius” o “Polidarius”? Da Arrigo da Settimello a Guido delle Colonne
2016
This paper is dedicated to the defence of the variant "Polidarius" (and not the correction in the vulgate "Podalirius") that occurs in all the manuscripts of Henry of Septimello's «Elegia» (book IV, line 209). "Polidarius", however, has many attestations in Medieval Troy literary tradition (Joseph of Exeter, Benoît de Sainte-Maure, Guido delle Colonne) and is an alternative, correct and good name for the famous mythical doctor, son of Asclepius and brother of Machaon.
Sports participation and cultural trends. Running as a reflection of individualisation and post-materialism processes in Spanish society
2014
AbstractThis article examines the relationship between cultural change processes and the practice of running. The empirical basis is the national survey on Spanish sport habits carried out in 2005. Specifically, the subsamples of runners (n = 343) and other sport modalities (n = 2,687) were used. The study reveals that runners are characterised by more post-materialist and individualist tendencies than the rest of the participants. The results suggest the existence of a close relationship between the predominant cultural orientations and certain types of sport activity.
Hospital Reform in Palermo
2023
A partire dal XV secolo, l'ospedale cessa di essere un riflesso della carità cristiana e diventa un veicolo per la gestione del bene comune. In precedenza, la diffusione della spiritualità influenzata dagli Ordini mendicanti aveva stimolato nuove forme di pietà e opere di carità più ampie, tra cui le visite ai malati, la gestione degli ospedali e la distribuzione di cibo e vestiario. Il tardo Medioevo vide un un cambiamento radicale. Gli ospedali divennero centri polifunzionali dedicati a vari tipi di cure. In linea con una tendenza osservata in tutta Europa, le principali città siciliane (Messina, Catania, Palermo, Siracusa e Trapani) adattarono i propri sistemi ospedalieri alle esigenze d…
Organització i estructuració del poder al si d'un Orde Militar: el cas de l'Orde de Montesa (segles XIV-XV)
1995
The majority of works on the history of the Military Order of Montesa are based on classic works referring to the Modern Ages and therefore they assign to the Middle Ages meaningless scherna and organizational outlines. The purpose of this paper is to find out the territorial distribution of the Montesa manors in the Kingdom of Valencia at the time of its foundation, and its changes through the Middle Ages, emphasizing the distribution of powes and competences between the Friars memberships of the Order and the Master, owner of the rights of the “Mesa Maestral". We know that during the XIV and XV Centuries there was a concentration of power in the hands of the Master. With this authority, h…
Irrigation and Political Power in the Medieval Kingdom of Valencia
2018
The medieval Kingdom of Valencia (Spain) was a European feudal society born in the thirteenth century out of the military conquest of the east of al-Andalus by the Crown of Aragon. This work focuses on the social organization of irrigation institutions in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, which replaced the water management systems in use during the Andalusi period. The study analyzes the three types of water-governance systems in operation: irrigation systems managed by royal officials, irrigation systems managed by municipalities, and irrigation systems managed by corporations of autonomous farmers. The chapter also examines the different royal and municipal officials t…
Sensibilización de género en la traducción a través de TAV y publicidad
2020
El objetivo de esta investigación es describir un estudio piloto realizado con 46 estudiantes de Traducción y Mediación Intercultural en un módulo de lengua inglesa nivel avanzado. Adaptamos el modelo de conciencia intercultural de Borghetti y Lertola (2014) mediante la subtitulación, una modalidad de TAV (Traducción Audiovisual) para abordar cuestiones de género y lenguaje en relación con el género en relación con la subtitulación de un anuncio de gel corporal de Old Spice. Los resultados muestran que nuestros estudiantes no consiguieron transmitir de manera satisfactoria el mensaje sexista del anuncio en su paso al castellano, lo cual se pudo confirmar al comparar la traducción de nuestro…
Summary and recommendations of the OARSI FDA osteoarthritis Assessment of Structural Change Working Group
2011
Import JabRef | WosArea Orthopedics; Rheumatology; International audience; Objective: The Osteoarthritis Research Society International initiated a number of working groups to address a call from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on updating draft guidance on conduct of osteoarthritis (OA) clinical trials. The development of disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) remains challenging. The Assessment of Structural Change (ASC) Working Group aimed to provide a state-of-the-art critical update on imaging tools for OA clinical trials. Methods: The Group focussed on the performance metrics of conventional radiographs (CR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), performing systemati…
