SAMPLING DESIGN IN SHARE WAVE 7
2019
This chapter documents the sampling design adopted in SHARE. Starting with a definition of the SHARE target population, we describe the protocol that is followed to harmonise and document the sampling procedure and present the sampling frames used by the countries that recruited a baseline or refreshment sample in Wave 7. We then discuss some important aspects of the SHARE sampling design, such as stratification, clustering, variation in selection probabilities and sample composition. Finally, we provide additional information about the sampling variables included in the released SHARE dataset.
Conceptual Framework e Valutazioni: Dibattito e Proposte
2015
In response to the ‘2011 Agenda Consultation’, the IASB launched in July 2013 a new Discussion Paper on the ‘Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting’. This paper aims to offer a contribution to the debate on the effectiveness of the theme of ‘Measurement’, investigating the use of the current evaluation models in the literature and practice of Financial Reporting. The paper develops a synthetic proposal by means of a historical survey on normative and thought developments in the field of measurement. Thus, the first part of the same, resumes the main steps toward the adoption of a global base of measurement and its contradictions and standstills. Afterwards, the parallel stream of acco…
Talking about Migration: the Online Discourse of Some Italian Political Party Leaders
2020
The aims of the article are to deconstruct the frames of migration crisis embedded on the official web sites, social networks and blogs belonging to the leaders of the main Italian political parties, positioned on different points of the left or right political spectrum, in the period 2015-2016. According to the relevance of the Italian context, we are also going to study the position of a party that can be considered a post-ideological movement that represents itself as outside of a traditional political spectrum: the Five-star Movement. We analysed text, images and videos published on the Internet 2.0 sites in order to show the legacy of colonialism that was characterized by the ambivalen…
Palazzo Floridia-Bertini a Ragusa. Il restauro dei serramenti lignei della facciata barocca
2021
Per la “rimarchevole testimonianza dell’esuberante genialità espressa nell’arte e nell’architettura del tardo barocco” nella Val di Noto, nel 2002 il palazzo Floridia-Bertini è inserito dall’UNESCO nella World Heritage List ed inizia a prendere corpo la volontà di intervenire sulla sua facciata. Dopo avere richiamato le riflessioni che hanno condotto alle scelte operative, il contributo espone le più significative fasi di cantiere relative al restauro dei serramenti lignei esterni, con particolare riguardo all’intervento compiuto su un serramento settecentesco. For the “remarkable testimony of the exuberant genius expressed in the art and architecture of the late Baroque” in the Val di Noto…
Complete sequence, expression and evolution of two members of the hexamerin protein family during the larval development of the rice moth, Corcyra ce…
2002
Three distinct types of storage hexamerins are expressed in the "last-instar" larvae of the rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica. A cDNA expression library was constructed from fat body-RNA and screened with a polyclonal antibody raised against purified hexamerin (SP2) of Corcyra cephalonica. Two slightly different "full-length" hexamerin cDNA clones (Hex2a and Hex2b) were isolated and sequenced. Both include open reading frames of 2109 bp which are translated into polypeptides of 703 amino acids with 92.5% identity. Signal peptides of 19 amino acids are present at the N-termini. The 684 amino acids native proteins have a high content of aryl groups (17.6%). According to both the criteria for ami…
A novel cell wall protein specific to the mycelial form of Yarrowia lipolytica.
1996
A cDNA clone specifying a cell wall protein was isolated from a Yarrowia lipolytica cDNA library. The cDNA library was constructed in the expression vector lambda gt 11, with the RNA isolated from actively growing mycelial cells. The deduced amino acid sequence shows that the encoded protein contains an N-terminal hydrophobic signal peptide. We have designated this protein YWP1 for Yarrowia lipolytica cell Wall Protein. Northern hybridization identified YWP1 transcript only when Y. lipolytica was growing in the mycelial form. The encoded protein seems to be covalently bound to the glucan cell wall since it is not released from the cell walls by sodium dodecyl sulphate extraction, but it is …
A human multisystem disorder with autoinflammation, leukoencephalopathy and hepatopathy is caused by mutations in C2orf69
2021
AbstractBackgroundDeciphering the function of the many genes previously classified as uncharacterized “open reading frame” (orf) completes our understanding of cell function and its pathophysiology.MethodsWhole-exome sequencing, yeast 2-hybrid and transcriptome analyses together with molecular characterization are used here to uncover the function of the C2orf69 gene.ResultsWe identify loss-of-function mutations in the uncharacterized C2orf69 gene in eight individuals with brain abnormalities involving hypomyelination and microcephaly, liver dysfunction and recurrent autoinflammation. C2orf69 contains an N-terminal signal peptide that is required and sufficient for mitochondrial localizatio…
F17-like fimbriae from an invasive Escherichia coli strain producing cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 2 toxin
1994
The F17b fimbriae encoded by the transmissible virulence plasmid Vir, also coding for cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 2, were characterized. A 5.7-kb region of Vir mediates in vitro N-acetylglucosamine-sensitive adhesion to calf intestinal villi. Sequence analysis revealed that this region codes for a structural subunit and an adhesin closely related to the F17-A and F17-G proteins encoded by the F17 fimbrial gene cluster. The F17b-A gene presents an open reading frame of 540 bp encoding a polypeptide of 180 amino acids with a putative signal peptide of 21 residues. The mature protein shows an identity of 74% with the F17-A structural subunit. This 20-kDa protein is recognized by antiseru…
Views selection for SIFT based object modeling and recognition
2016
In this paper we focus on automatically learning object models in the framework of keypoint based object recognition. The proposed method uses a collection of views of the objects to build the model. For each object the collection is composed of N×M views obtained rotating the object around its vertical and horizontal axis. As keypoint based object recognition using a complete set of views is computationally expensive, we focused on the definition of a selection method that creates, for each object, a subset of the initial views that visually summarize the characteristics of the object and should be suited for recognition. We select the views by determining maxima and minima of a function, …
Flow and Deformation
1998
A hunter who investigates tracks in muddy ground near a waterhole may be able to reconstruct which animals arrived last, but older tracks will be partly erased or modified. A geologist faces similar problems to reconstruct the changes in shape that a volume of rock underwent in the course of geological time, since the end products, the rocks that are visible in outcrop, are the only direct data source. In many cases it is nevertheless possible to reconstruct at least part of the tectonic history of a rock from this final fabric. This chapter treats the change in shape of rocks and the methods that can be used to investigate and describe this change in shape. This is the field of kinematics,…
