Membrane glycerolipid remodeling triggered by nitrogen and phosphorus starvation in Phaeodactylum tricornutum.
2014
International audience; Diatoms constitute a major phylum of phytoplankton biodiversity in ocean water and freshwater ecosystems. They are known to respond to some chemical variations of the environment by the accumulation of triacylglycerol, but the relative changes occurring in membrane glycerolipids have not yet been studied. Our goal was first to define a reference for the glycerolipidome of the marine model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a necessary prerequisite to characterize and dissect the lipid metabolic routes that are orchestrated and regulated to build up each subcellular membrane compartment. By combining multiple analytical techniques, we determined the glycerolipid profil…

Prodigalidad y adicciones
2010
La figura de la prodigalidad, reformada en profundidad por la Ley 13/83, de 24 de octubre, de reforma del Código civil, y luego llevada casi en su integridad a la Ley 1/2000, de Enjuiciamiento civil, sigue conservando su dimensión sustantiva, de puro Derecho civil, y su propia autonomía: las adicciones son el mejor exponente de que prodigalidad, de un lado, y enfermedades o deficiencias de carácter psíquico, de otro, no siempre son ámbitos enteramente coincidentes.
Feasibility and psychometric properties of the Finnish version of the measure of processes of care for adults
2018
To assess the psychometric properties and feasibility of the Finnish translation of the measure of processes of care for adults (MPOC-A) when used in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.A feasibility study.Inpatient rehabilitation settings.A total of 858 people with severe neurological disabilities, musculoskeletal problems, and mental disorders were recruited to the study.The MPOC-A questionnaire is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 34 items in five-factorial domains. The construct validity of the translated questionnaire was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. To compare the fit of the model to the fit of the independent null-model Comparative Fit Index was used. I…
Turán type inequalities for generalized inverse trigonometric functions
2013
In this paper we study the inverse of the eigenfunction $\sin_p$ of the one-dimensional $p$-Laplace operator and its dependence on the parameter $p$, and we present a Tur\'an type inequality for this function. Similar inequalities are given also for other generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. In particular, we deduce a Tur\'an type inequality for a series considered by Ramanujan, involving the digamma function.
The welfare cost of unpriced heterogeneity in insurance markets
2016
We consider the welfare loss of unpriced heterogeneity in insurance markets, which results when private information or regulatory constraints prevent insurance companies to set premiums reflecting expected costs. We propose a methodology which uses survey data to measure this welfare loss. After identifying some “types” which determine expected risk and insurance demand, we derive the key factors defining the demand and cost functions in each market induced by these unobservable types. These are used to quantify the efficiency costs of unpriced heterogeneity. We apply our methods to the US Long-Term Care and Medigap insurance markets, where we find that unpriced heterogeneity causes substan…
Testing for Asymmetric Information in Insurance Markets: A Multivariate Ordered Regression Approach
2016
The positive correlation (PC) test is the standard procedure used in the empirical literature to detect the existence of asymmetric information in insurance markets. This article describes a new tool to implement an extension of the PC test based on a new family of regression models, the multivariate ordered logit, designed to study how the joint distribution of two or more ordered response variables depends on exogenous covariates. We present an application of our proposed extension of the PC test to the Medigap health insurance market in the United States. Results reveal that the risk–coverage association is not homogeneous across coverage and risk categories, and depends on individual so…
Monitoraggio della diga “Castello” di Bivona (AG) con tecniche GNSS
2012
Le dighe di grandi dimensioni, di terra o di cemento, sono infrastrutture che rivestono un ruolo critico nella fornitura idrica e nella produzione energetica. Come è noto in letteratura, il carico e lo scarico delle forze sottopone la diga a elevate sollecitazioni strutturali che devono essere monitorate. Queste possono essere dovute alle fluttuazioni del livello dell'acqua, all'assestamento della struttura, all'attività di frane situate nelle vicinanze o all'attività sismica. Rilevare preventivamente i potenziali problemi consente di adottare le misure necessarie per evitare che si verifichi una catastrofe, o mitigarne gli effetti. Il lavoro proposto è in corso di svolgimento presso il Dip…
I poteri di Gramsci: Il dibattito con Bordiga tradotto e (ri-)pensato da Gérard Granel
2017
Questo contributo propone un close reading del saggio Gramsci et le pouvoir, pubblicato nel 1990, nel quale il pensatore e traduttore francese Gérard Granel analizza e commenta il dibattito tra Gramsci e Bordiga sulla questione dei consigli di fabbrica. Granel esamina il legame rispettivo dei due autori italiani al pensiero marxiano e rivela in che misura la “traduzione gramsciana” di concetti chiave come politica, proletariato e comunismo coglie il potenziale rivoluzionario dell’“evento Marx” al di là delle sue strumentalizzazioni ideologiche nei marxismi storici. This article is a close-reading of the essay Gramsci et le pouvoir, published in 1990 by the French thinker and translator Géra…
The Effect Of Supplemental Insurance On Health Care Demand With Multiple Information: A Latent Class Analysis
2009
The Medicare program, which provides insurance coverage to the elderly in the United States, does not protect them fully against high out-of-pocket costs. For this reason private supplementary insurance, named Medigap, has been available to cover Medicare gaps. This paper studies how Medigap affects the utilization of health care services. The decision to take out supplemental insurance is likely to be infuenced by unobservable attributes such as actual risk type and insurance preferences. Empirical appraisals to this problem typically rely on the recursive bivariate probit. We exploit the Health and Retirement Study data and some recent advances on latent class analysis to jointly model th…
