Walking tourism in Malaga: a pilot survey to explore tourism behaviours with a GPS approach
2018
Walking tourism in urban destinations can be defined as a sequence of day visits and/or a sequence of walking tours. In this work, GPS tracking data on spatio-temporal behaviour of walking tourists in Malaga are reported as case study. Malaga is a booming tourist destination characterized by a city centre, particularly suitable for a pedestrian visit. From 22nd January to 19th March 2018 for a total period of 41 days, a survey was carried out with a specific protocol: 103 interviews were conducted and 101 GPS valid tracks were collected. Walking tourists were systematically sampled, starting from the population of all tourists staying in the surveying day at some selected hotels in the city…

Vuoristovaelluksen vaikutus autonomisen hermoston toimintaan : adaptaation etenemisen seuranta sykevälivaihtelumuuttujien ja satelliittipaikannuksen …

Vuoristoympäristö on ihmisen fysiologialle yksi epäsuosiollisimmista olosuhteista maapallolla. Vuoristo-olosuhteiden fysikaaliset ominaispiirteet, hypobaarinen hypoksia sekä kylmä ilmasto, asettavat monenlaisia vaatimuksia ihmisen elimistön toimintakyvyn ylläpitämiseksi. Akuutti vuoristotauti ilmenee henkilöillä, joilla vuoristoon sopeutuminen ja kompensoivat toimet eivät ole edistyneet onnistuneesti. Hoitamattomana tila voi edetä hengenvaaralliseen aivo- tai keuhkoödeemaan. Viimeaikaisissa tutkimuksissa on raportoitu lupaavia tuloksia yksilöiden välisistä keskushermoston sopeutumismallieroista vuoristotaudin diagnosoinnissa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää löytyykö ortostaatt…
Automašīnās iebūvēto GPS īpatnības
2015
Automašīnās iebūvēto borta datoru svarīga sastāvdaļa ir GPS, kas atvieglo automašīnas vadītāja ikdienu. Automašīnu īpašnieki nav informēti par šo sistēmu ražotājiem, par to, kādas operētājsistēmas tās darbina, kā arī par to cik drošas ir šīs iekārtas un vai tās ir iespējams pielāgot savām vajadzībām. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt dažādās automašīnu markās iebūvēto GPS īpatnības, tai skaitā, operētājsistēmas uz kurām šīs iekārtas darbojas, iespējas pielāgot šīs iekārtas savām vajadzībām, kā arī šo iekārtu drošību. Darba izstrādes gaitā tika iegūtas jaunas zināšana par automašīnās izmantotajām GPS, paplašinātas zināšanas par operētājsistēmām, to drošību, kā arī praktiski veikti eksperimenti ar auto…
Georeferenced cartography dataset of the La Fossa crater fumarolic field at Vulcano Island (Aeolian Archipelago, Italy): conversion and comparison of…
2011
The present study illustrates the procedures applied for the coordinate system conversion of the historical fumarole positions at La Fossa crater, to allow their comparison with newly acquired global positioning system (GPS) data. Due to the absence of ground control points in the field and on both the old Gauss Boaga and the new UTM WGS 1984 maps, we had to model the transformation errors between the two systems using differential GPS techniques. Once corrected, the maps show a residual Easting shifting, due to erroneous georeferencing of the original base maps; this is corrected by morphological comparative methods. The good correspondence between the corrected positions of the historical…
Il monitoraggio topografico della cattedrale di Agrigento
2013
L’oggetto del presente lavoro è il monitoraggio della cattedrale di San Gerlando di Agrigento, duomo eretto tra i secoli XI e XII, che sorge nella parte più alta della collina di Girgenti. Lo studio è significativo poiché, nel corso dei secoli la costruzione è stata soggetta a interventi di ristrutturazione e di consolidamento, resi necessari dai danni arrecati da frane che, in più occasioni, hanno coinvolto il territorio su cui essa sorge. Dal 2010 la chiesa è chiusa al culto per copiosi eventi franosi e idrogeologici che hanno allarmato ulteriormente anche la Protezione Civile. A seguito di questi eventi è stata avviata una campagna di indagini e monitoraggi con il fine della caratterizza…
A Bioinformatics Analysis of Lamin A Regulatory Network: a Perspective on Epigenetic Involvement in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
2011
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare human genetic disease that leads to premature ageing and ageing-associated phenotype. HGPS is caused by mutation in the lamin A (LMNA) gene that leads, in affected young individuals, to the generation of progerin, a splicing mutant of lamin A. A bioinformatics analysis of the LMNA gene network of interactions is presented. Lamin A seems to be involved in epigenetic regulation of transcription, chromatin remodelling, DNA repair, with key roles in stemness regulation, normal ageing and telomere functions. The study suggests particular relevance of chromatin remodellers and histones covalent modifiers in the LMNA network. Specifically, HTAT…
Epigenetic involvement in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome: a mini-review.
2013
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare human genetic disease that leads to a severe premature ageing phenotype, caused by mutations in the <i>LMNA</i> gene. The <i>LMNA</i> gene codes for lamin-A and lamin-C proteins, which are structural components of the nuclear lamina. HGPS is usually caused by a de novo <i>C1824T</i> mutation that leads to the accumulation of a dominant negative form of lamin-A called progerin. Progerin also accumulates physiologically in normal ageing cells as a rare splicing form of lamin-A transcripts. From this perspective, HGPS cells seem to be good candidates for the study of the physiological mechanisms of ageing…
