R&D, Competition and Growth with Human Capital Accumulation Revisited

2012

In this paper, we have presented a generalization of Bucci's (2003) model in which have disentangled the monopolistic mark-up in the intermediate goods sector, the intermediate goods share in the final output and the returns to specialization in order to have a better measurement of competition. Indeed, unlike Bucci (2003), in our model, the measure of competition is completely independent of the intermediate goods share in the final output and the returns to specialization. Our main finding is that, unlike Bucci (2003), we show that the competition does not play any role in growth. This result is explained by the complementarity of innovation and human capital assumed in the research produ…

Ex Vivo Tracking of Endogenous CO with a Ruthenium(II) Complex.

2017

[EN] A two-photon fluorescent probe based on a ruthenium(II) vinyl complex is capable of selectively detecting carbon monoxide in cells and ex vivo using mice with a subcutaneous air pouch as a model for inflammation. This probe combines highly selective and sensitive ex vivo detection of endogenous CO in a realistic model with facile, inexpensive synthesis, and displays many advantages over the widely used palladium-based systems.

Palazzo Alliata di Pietratagliata, già Termine

2013

Palazzo Termine Pietratagliata esemplifica bene, con le sue vicende plurisecolari, la storia complessa e stratificata della gran parte delle residenze nobiliari palermitane, risultato di una successione pressoché ininterrotta di interventi di ampliamento, di consolidamento strutturale, di ammodernamento distributivo degli interni, di aggiornamento stilistico degli apparati decorativi. Il suo portale, d'altro canto, appare come uno degli elementi del prospetto meno manomessi e con il suo sesto lievemente acusesto testimonia a quella data la lenta transizione verso l’architettura rinascimentale, lentezza ascrivibile al consapevole radicamento in Sicilia dei saperi e delle tradizioni costrutti…

Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence of chicken avidin-related genes 1-5.

1994

Using avidin cDNA as a hybridisation probe, we detected a gene family whose putative products are related to the chicken egg-white avidin. Two overlapping genomic clones were found to contain five genes (avidin-related genes 1–5, avrl-avr5), which have been cloned, characterized and sequenced. All of the genes have a four-exon structure with an overall identity with the avidin cDNA of 88–92%. The genes appear to have no pseudogenic features and, in fact, two of these genes have been shown to be transcribed. The putative proteins share a sequence identity of 68–78% with avidin. The amino acid residues responsible for the biotin-binding activity of avidin and the bacterial biotin-binding prot…

Populism on the loose

2018

Populismitutkimus on pääosin keskittynyt etsimään populismia määrittäviä yhteisiä piirteitä tai hahmottamaan populismia sosiaalisena logiikkana. Tässä kirjassa tarkastellaan populismin sisäisiä eroja. Populismi vaihtelee ensinnäkin kulttuurikontekstin mukana. Populistiset liikkeet ovat jopa yhteiskunnallisesti samankaltaisissa maissa, kuten Pohjoismaissa, yleensä varsin erilaisia. Toiseksi populismiin vaikuttavat merkittävästi sellaiset muuttujat kuin sukupuoli, luokka ja uskonto. Ja kolmanneksi populismin käsite sinänsä ”irti” tavalla, johon sopii Ernesto Laclaun populismiteoriasta tuttu termi ”kelluva merkitsijä”. Tämän kirjan otsikko, ”Populism on the loose”, viittaa yhtä aikaa kahteen e…

Solubilized liver extracellular matrix maintains primary rat hepatocyte phenotype in-vitro.

2015

Whole organ engineering and cell-based regenerative medicine approaches are being investigated as potential therapeutic options for end-stage liver failure. However, a major challenge of these strategies is the loss of hepatic specific function after hepatocytes are removed from their native microenvironment. The objective of the present study was to determine if solubilized liver extracellular matrix (ECM), when used as a media supplement, can better maintain hepatocyte phenotype compared to type I collagen alone or solubilized ECM harvested from a non-liver tissue source. Liver extracellular matrix (LECM) from four different species was isolated via liver tissue decellularization, solubil…

Ammonites phylogenetic analysis: state of the art and new prospects

2004

Abstract Two main types of data are available to resolve phylogenies using fossils data: (1) stratigraphic ordering of taxa, and (2) morphological characters. In most phylogenetic studies dealing with ammonites, authors have given priority to the stratigraphic distribution of taxa. This practice is classically justified by the fact that the ammonite fossil record is frequently outstandingly good. In practice, the level of integration of stratigraphic and morphologic information in a single analysis depends on the confidence that authors have in the quality of data. Besides, many evolutionary concepts, which could differ over time and between authors (e.g. anagenesis, cladogenesis, iterative…

A reassessment of the sections of the genus Cytisus Desf. (Cytiseae, Leguminosae)

2006

Recent morphological and molecular research on Cytisus and allied genera has produced a great deal of new data relevant to systematics, which have not yet been incorporated into a consistent classification system of the genus. We have compared and evaluated recently published cladograms and phenograms based on morphological and molecular (nuclear and plastid DNA) characters. The genus Cytisus sensu lato, including Calicotome, Chamaecytisus, Chronanthus, and Lembotropis, appears to be monophyletic. A subdivision of the genus Cytisus in 13 sections is presented; one species, C. tribracteolatus, remains incertae sedis. A new section (C. sect. Dendrocytisus) and two new combinations for taxa in…
