Ruolo citotossico del cannabinoide sintetico WIN55,212-2 in cellule di osteosarcoma MG63: coinvolgimento della proteina SPARC.
Il cannabinoide sintetico WIN 55,212-2 è un potente agonista sintetico del recettore per i cannabinoidi con spiccate potenzialità antitumorali. Gli esperimenti riportati in questa tesi sono stati condotti per delineare gli effetti indotti dal WIN sulla proliferazione, la migrazione e la sensibilizzazione alla morte indotta dalla citochina TRAIL in cellule di osteosarcoma umano MG63. I risultati ottenuti mostrano che il WIN induce un blocco del ciclo cellulare in fase G2/M che è associato all’induzione dei principali markers di ER stress (GRP78, CHOP e TRB3). Nelle cellule trattate abbiamo inoltre osservato la conversione della forma citosolica del marker autofagosomale LC3-I in LC3-II (la f…

Ri _ GENERAZIONI. Reversibili
2016
Vogliamo ora la maestria del “meccanico” in luogo di quella del “muratore”. Vogliamo architetti capaci di costruire mentre pensano a dover o poter smontare. Troppo spesso assistiamo alla supponenza di tanti manufatti che si arrogano il diritto di sentirsi immortali e invece sono solo premature obsolescenze non più governabili. I tempi di realizzazione dell’architettura contemporanea sono giurassici; spesso l’edificio non è ancora completato è già sono mutate le circostanze per cui lo si è voluto mentre stiamo riconoscendo di non potere più tornare indietro. L’architettura oggi non riesce più a stare al passo con le continue mutazioni che l’ambiente e la società impongono (ormai sempre più r…
Effects of the Extraction Technology on Pomegranate Juice Quality
2020
Pomegranate juice is a rich source of phenolic components; its consumption has considerably increased throughout the world in recent years, due to its nutraceutical properties. Commercial juice production involves pressing the fruits. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of the pressing stage on pomegranate juice properties, in terms of value, duration of the applied pressure and juice yield in order to examine the influence of pressure level on volatiles and nutraceutical properties of the juice. Pomegranate fruits cv. Wonderful One were manually harvested and mechanically processed for extracting the juice by means of a shelling machine, a peristaltic pump and a pneumatic pre…
Influence of tree's structure on the efficiency of the mechanical harvest of olives
2008
This study represents an analysis about the influence of the structure of the plant and the drupes’ position on the efficiency of the mechanical harvest of olives. The aim is to study the eventual correlations between some geometrical characteristics of the plants and the harvest efficiency. The experimental tests were carried out in an olive grove sited in Castelvetrano, province of Trapani; the variety was Nocellara del Belice, the plants “globe” shaped. Some morphological surveys were carried out on a sample of trees. The mechanical harvest was performed with a trunk shaker provided with an upside down umbrella. After the harvest, the residual production was quantified for each bud in or…
Implicit regulation for automotive variators
2001
A well-known practice uses mechanical variators to realize the so-called continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) for automotive application. A remarkable problem for one of the most used CVTs is given by the hydraulic control of the axial thrust on the half-pulleys that is necessary for torque transmission. It involves a heavy decrease in transmission efficiency. In the present paper, the possible production of the required axial thrust by a simple spring to eliminate hydraulic losses is analysed. It is shown that the power capacity of such a regulated variator is near to the maximum possible, and the belt torque loss is always considerably lower than the sum of the belt and pump losses…

Discovery of slow X-ray pulsations in the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54
2008
Context. The source 4U 2206+54 is one of the most enigmatic high-mass X-ray binaries. In spite of intensive searches, X-ray pul- sations have not been detected in the time range 10−3–103 s. A cyclotron line at ∼30 keV has been suggested by various authors but never detected with significance. The stellar wind of the optical companion is abnormally slow. The orbital period, initially reported to be 9.6 days, disappeared and a new periodicity of 19.25 days emerged. Aims. The main objective of our RXTE monitoring of 4U 2206+54 is to study the X-ray orbital variability of the spectral and timing parameters. The new long and uninterrupted RXTE observations allow us to search for long (∼1 h) puls…
Data from the GIPEyOP online election poll for the 2015 Spanish General election.
2020
Abstract The general elections of 2015 in Spain took place in the middle of the Great Recession after several years of austerity economic policies. This election caused a political earthquake that shook the Spanish party system. During the campaign of that election, GIPEyOP (Elections and Public Opinion Research Group from University of Valencia) conducted a survey to collect relevant data about the electorate beliefs, intentions and motivations. This article describes the data set attained, which comprises 71 variables after removing, to ensure full anonymity, those variables that would potentially allow respondents to be identified. Respondents answered a self-administered online question…
