A Survey on Proxy Mobile IPv6 Handover

2016

[EN] As wireless technologies have been improving in recent years, a mobility management mechanism is required to provide seamless and ubiquitous mobility for end users who are roaming among points of attachment in wireless networks. Thus, Mobile IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to support the mobility service. However, Mobile IPv6 is unable to fulfill the requirements of real-time applications, such as video streaming service and voice over IP service, due to its high handover (HO) latency. To address this problem, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has been introduced by the IETF. In PMIPv6, which is a network-based approach, the serving network controls mobility m…

A note on fair value accounting in a crisis: The influence of the hedge accounting regulations

2010

Published version of an article published in the journal: Business and Economics Journal. Also available from the publisher at: http://astonjournals.com/manuscripts/Vol2010/BEJ-13_Vol2010.pdf The role of fair value accounting in the financial crisis is contorversial and heavily debated. Some claim that fair value accounting of financial instruments contributed to the recent crisis. This note acknowledges that, in many industries, a significant proportion of the financial instruments are entered into for hedging purposes. I examine if a crisis through the hedge accounting regulations, can affect the overall use og fair value accounting in an economy. I present analytical evidence that the bo…

Lo squadrismo al potere. La parabola di Roberto Farinacci

2019

Il saggio analizza il modo in cui il network assemblatosi attorno a Roberto Farinacci, leader squadrista del cremonese, poi assurto ai vertici della politica fascista, si sia sedimentato anche come nucleo di potere. In particolare, viene messo in evidenza come la rete degli squadristi che ruotavano attorno a Farinacci già dalla prima ora, abbia interagito alla pari con ambienti della finanza e dell'industria italiana e come lo stesso Farinacci, al netto della professata intransigenza ideologica, avesse modo di relazionarsi a questi nuclei di potere che esistevano già prima del fascismo.

Cinema as a Place of Educational Practice during the Fascist Regime in Italy (1922-1943)

2021

The evolution of Italian cinema in the first half of the twentieth century is intertwined with the historical events that marked Italy in the period between the two world wars: the coming to power of fascism and the rise to power of Benito Mussolini. Its protectionist policy favored the growth of the film industry that, in few years, created new forms of representation and made cinema a popular and mass art with a great pedagogical impact. He defined cinema as “the strongest weapon” because, through a strategic use of moving images, it had the power to “rule the gaze of the spectators”. After the advent of the sound cinema, from the thirties, the political intervention of the regime promote…

Evaluation of the long-term treatment effects of idursulfase using statistical modelling: Data from the Hunter Outcome Survey (HOS)

2019

Treatment for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II Hunter syndrome) is available in the form of intravenous enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with idursulfase (Shire, Lexington, MA, USA). This analysis used statistical modelling to evaluate the long-term treatment effects of idursulfase on selected clinical parameters based on data from HOS, a global, observational registry (Shire, Lexington, MA, USA). Mixed modelling was used to analyse data from male patients followed prospectively in HOS who had received idursulfase for 5-8 years and information available for two or more timepoints, of which one was pre-ERT. Data were excluded from patients with only pre-ERT information available, who ha…

Impact of climate change and man-made irrigation systems on the transmission risk, long-term trend and seasonality of human and animal fascioliasis i…

2014

Large areas of the province of Punjab, Pakistan are endemic for fascioliasis, resulting in high economic losses due to livestock infection but also affecting humans directly. The prevalence in livestock varies pronouncedly in space and time (1-70%). Climatic factors influencing fascioliasis presence and potential spread were analysed based on data from five mete- orological stations during 1990-2010. Variables such as wet days (Mt), water-budget-based system (Wb-bs) indices and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), were obtained and correlated with geographical distribution, seasonality patterns and the two-decade evolution of fascioliasis in livestock throughout the province. …

Recurrence of pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland-predictive value of cadherin-11 and fascin

2008

The predictive value of cadherin-11, tenascin, fascin, and mucin-1 as markers for the likelihood of recurrence in pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland was examined. In this retrospective study we analysed 20 tumours from16 patients by immunohistochemistry. Staining intensities were measured using a semiquantitative scoring approach; localisation (tumour centre vs border) as well as clinical data were analysed and correlated with follow-up. Cadherin-11 was increased in recurrent tumours. However, no changes of fascin, tenascin or mucin-1 were observed. Cadherin-11 and fascin were increased in primary tumours of patients with later recurrence, with fascin upregulation restricted to the tu…
