Suitability of Some Existing Damage Indexes for Regulating Contracts Between Curators of Museums and HVAC Maintenance and Management Companies
2018
Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems in museums are called to properly control important microclimate parameters, not only for visitors’ wellbeing, but mostly for works of art preservation. Accordingly, in case of interruptions occurring to HVAC systems, due to maintenance interventions or drawbacks, it is essential to guarantee the shortest possible period of disservice to which possible damages for the works of art are related. In this regard the aim of this work is to introduce a protocol to follow to support curators in regulate the stipulation of contracts with external companies for a more effective management and maintenance of the HVAC systems in order to preserv…
Computational approach to compact Riemann surfaces
2017
International audience; A purely numerical approach to compact Riemann surfaces starting from plane algebraic curves is presented. The critical points of the algebraic curve are computed via a two-dimensional Newton iteration. The starting values for this iteration are obtained from the resultants with respect to both coordinates of the algebraic curve and a suitable pairing of their zeros. A set of generators of the fundamental group for the complement of these critical points in the complex plane is constructed from circles around these points and connecting lines obtained from a minimal spanning tree. The monodromies are computed by solving the defining equation of the algebraic curve on…
Research and implementation of artificial neural networks models for high velocity oxygen fuel thermal spraying
2020
In the high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spray process, the coating properties are sensitive to the characteristics of in-flight particles, which are mainly determined by the process parameters. Due to the complex chemical and thermodynamic reactions during the deposition procedure, obtaining a comprehensive multi-physical model or analytical analysis of the HVOF process is still a challenging issue. This study proposes to develop a robust methodology via artificial neural networks (ANN) to solve this problem for the HVOF sprayed NiCr-Cr3C2 coatings under different operating parameters.First, 40 sets of HVOF spray experiments were conducted and the coating properties were tested for analysis…
Implicación del sistema serotoninérgico y dopaminérgico en los efectos reforzantes de la MDMA
2012
La adolescencia constituye un periodo de especial vulnerabilidad al consumo de drogas, siendo los adolescentes los principales consumidores de 3,4- metilendioximetanfetamina (MDMA), un derivado anfetamínico con potencial adictivo. El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar el papel de los sistemas dopaminérgico y serotoninérgico en las propiedades reforzantes de la MDMA y en la vulnerabilidad a la recaída en su consumo. En concreto, hemos estudiado la implicación de estos sistemas de neurotransmisión en la adquisición, expresión y reinstauración del condicionamiento de preferencia de lugar (CPL) inducido por MDMA en ratones adolescentes. Para ello utilizamos diferentes agonistas y antagoni…
Bradavidiinista johdetun bradpeptidin karakterisointi ja soveltuvuus affiniteettikromatografiaan
2012
Bradavidiini on Bradyrhizobium japonicum bakteerista löydetty avidiinin ja streptaviidiinin kaltainen proteiini. Avidiini on peräisin kanasta ja streptavidiini Streptomyces avidinii bakteerista. Bradavidiinin aminohapposekvenssi on noin 30 prosenttisesti samankaltainen avidiinin ja streptavidiinin ydinalueiden sekvenssien kanssa. Bradavidiini koostuu 138 aminohaposta ja C-terminaalisesti pienennetty bradavidiini, ns. bradcore, 118 aminohaposta. Bradavidiinilla on useimpien avidiinien tapaan tetrameerinen kvaternaarirakenne ja se muistuttaa sekä rakenteeltaan että toiminnaltaan avidiinia ja streptavidiinia. Bradavidiinilla on muiden avidiinien tapaan kyky sitoa voimakkaasti D-biotiinia. Avid…
Otoliitin kasvutapa verrattuna somaattisesti kasvavaan luutumaan ja sen vaikutus kasvun takautuvaan määritykseen otoliitista ahvenella (Perca fluviat…
2013
Kalojen kasvaessa myös luut ja suomut kasvavat. Kalan suomuihin muodostuu kasvurenkaita, joista yhdessä syntyy vuosikasvuvyöhyke. Kalan muissa luutumissa on havaittavissa kasvua ilmentävät vyöhykkeet. Kalan pituuskasvua voidaan määrittää takautuvasti näistä kalan suomuissa ja luutumissa ilmenevistä kasvurenkaista. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, kuinka luotettavasti ja millä varauksilla otoliittia on mahdollista käyttää takautuvassa kasvunmäärityksessä ahvenella (Perca fluviatilis L.), kasvunopeudeltaan erilaisilla populaatioilla. Tarkoituksena oli löytää otoliitista parhaiten somaattista kasvua myötäilevä linja. Vertailukohtana käytettiin kiduskannen operculum-luuta. Lisäksi…

An Original Approach to Active Climate Control Based on Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) as Set Point in a Middle-Age Building in Palermo, Italy
2019
In the frame of a more sustainable approach to climate control, a long term strategy has been developed and is under advanced phase of implementation by technical staff of the University of Palermo in an important building, Palazzo Steri, owned by the University. The monumental room under climate control, the Sala dei Baroni (also known as Sala Magna), has a precious wooden ceiling where the previously loadbearing elements are covered with wooden painted panels. Many of them, painted in the fourteenth c, underwent important restorations in the past due to climate related damage (cracks, warpings, paint layer delamination) and biological infestations. The room is currently undergoing an impo…
Lærebokas dominerende posisjon i historieundervisningen - bare for elevenes skyld?
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Acta Didactica Norge. Also available from the publisher at: http://adno.no/index.php/adno/article/view/380/348 Open Access Denne artikkelen stiller spørsmål ved historielæreres holdninger og bruk av læreverket i forberedelsen av undervisningen og i selve undervisningen. Materialet som benyttes er intervjuer med sju historielærere i videregående skole. De sju intervjuene inngår i forfatterens prosjekt om historieverket i videregående skole på Agder, som også innbefatter en pilotundersøkelse om utvelgelsesprosesser og kriterier for valg av læreverk i tillegg til 25 intervjuer med elever i videregående skole om læreverket i historie. De sju histo…
The impact of the age of vines on soil hydraulic conductivity in vineyards in eastern Spain
2017
Soil infiltration processes manage runoff generation, which in turn affects soil erosion. There is limited information on infiltration rates. In this study, the impact of vine age on soil bulk density (BD) and hydraulic conductivity (Ks) was assessed on a loam soil tilled by chisel plough. Soil sampling was conducted in the inter row area of six vineyards, which differed by the age from planting: 0 (Age 0; just planted), 1, 3, 6, 13, and 25 years (Age 1, Age 3, Age 6, Age 13, and Age 25, respectively). The One Ponding Depth (OPD) approach was applied to ring infiltration data to estimate soil Ks with an α* parameter equal to 0.012 mm-1. Soil bulk density for Age 0 was about 1.5 times greate…
