MEMORIE DAGLI SCAVI PER UN'ARCHEOLOGIA DELLA LETTERATURA IN GESUALDO BUFALINO
2022
The essay reflects on the lexical dissemination of terms belonging to the metaphorical area of 'recovery,' 'rebirth,' and 'rediscovery' in Bufalino's work beginning with Diceria dell'untore, in order to try to demonstrate the legacy of a private experience, the one related to the writing of his dissertation during the years of war and illness, in the transfigured one of literary reworking.
Los efectos directos y colaterales de la disolución de Herri Batasuna
2005
Alexandre.Catala@uv.es La ilegalización de Herri Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok y Batasuna (Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 27 de marzo de 2003) comportó una serie de consecuencias que son analizadas en el presente trabajo. En primer lugar, la estrategia de presentar en sucesivos comicios (elecciones municipales y autonómicas de 2003, elecciones al Parlamento Europeo de 2004 y elecciones al Parlamento vasco de 2005) agrupaciones electorales que no eran más que continuación de aquéllos con la clara intención de burlar la aplicación de la Ley Orgánica de Partidos Políticos y perpetuar así su actividad. En segundo lugar, la polémica sobre la disolución del grupo parlamentario correspondiente e…
Adaptative Image Flow in Collaborative Medical Telediagnosis Environments
2011
International audience; Telemedicine, the application of telecommunication in the medicine field, has been developed to meet major problems encountered in connecting doctors with patients and other medical staff. Having a robust and efficient telemedical system has always been a challenge. The system needs to make the members in different locations capable of sharing medical data efficiently and without errors. In this work, we present a telemedical system that overcomes these challenges.We deploy a collaborative system and adapt data to store, visualize, modify and transfer fluorescence images efficiently and robustly at the same time. We also make the system adaptive to communicate across…
High-Frequency Experimental Characterization and Modeling of Six Pack IGBTs Power Modules
2016
In this paper, a method to characterize the high-frequency (HF) behavior of six pack insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) power module (PM) is presented. The method is based on experimental measurements at the external pins of the device and it allows one to extract internal inductive and capacitive parasitic coupling without the knowledge of structural and physical parameters of the PM. The HF model of a six pack IGBTs PM has been developed, in the frequency range of 150 kHz-30 MHz, and it has been implemented in MATLAB environment. The method has been experimentally validated by comparing the frequency behavior of the PM with the simulated response. Moreover, the HF conducted distur…
ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a University hospital: Molecular features, diffusion of epidemic clones and evaluation of cross-transmission.
2021
The worldwide spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL-Kp) is a significant threat. Specifically, various pandemic clones of ESBL-Kp are involved in hospital outbreaks and caused serious infections. In that context, we assessed the phenotypic and molecular features of a collection of ESBL-Kp isolates in a French university hospital and evaluated the occurrence of potential cross-transmissions. Over a 2-year period (2017–2018), 204 non-duplicate isolates of ESBL-Kp were isolated from clinical (n = 118, 57.8%) or screening (n = 86, 42.2%) sample cultures. These isolates were predominantly resistant to cotrimoxazole (88.8%) and ofloxacin (82.8%) but remaine…
An Architecture for Observational Learning
2014
In this thesis I present an architecture that learns new skills through observation and adapts to the environment through situated experience in the world. Such an architectural growth is bootstrapped from a minimal initial knowledge and the architecture itself is built around the biologically-inspired notion of internal models. The key idea, supported by findings in cognitive neuroscience, is that the same internal models used in overt goal-directed action execution can be covertly re-enacted in simulation to observe and understand the actions of others. The system applies these concepts to learning higher order cognitive functions like learning problem solving skills and social interactio…
“Maria-nuova Eva”: un’insolita iconografia per un’Immacolata Concezione alabastrina del XVIII secolo
2015
Protagonista dell’articolo è un’inedita Immacolata Concezione in alabastro dorato e dipinto individuata in una collezione privata dell’isola di Malta. Particolarmente affascinante risulta la sua iconografia, che afferma con forza il dogma dell’Immacolata Concezione, e quindi l’assoluta innocenza spirituale della Vergine, ma anche il suo ruolo salvifico svolto in favore dell’umanità intera, privata della redenzione per l’errore commesso dalla progenitrice Eva. The article is dealing with an unpublished Immaculate Conception in gilded and painted alabaster located in a private collection of the island of Malta. Its iconography is very attractive. It firmly establishes the dogma of the Immacul…
Denaturing for Nanoarchitectonics: Local and Periodic UV-Laser Photodeactivation of Protein Biolayers to Create Functional Patterns for Biosensing
2022
[EN] The nanostructuration of biolayers has become a paradigm for exploiting nanoscopic light-matter phenomena for biosensing, among other biomedical purposes. In this work, we present a photopatterning method to create periodic structures of biomacromolecules based on a local and periodic mild denaturation of protein biolayers mediated by UV-laser irradiation. These nanostructures are constituted by a periodic modulation of the protein activity, so they are free of topographic and compositional changes along the pattern. Herein, we introduce the approach, explore the patterning parameters, characterize the resulting structures, and assess their overall homogeneity. This UV-based patterning…

Vitamin D and immunomodulation: Is it time to change the reference values?
2017
The term "vitamin D" refers to two chemical compounds - ergosterol, or vitamin D2, and cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3. Active vitamin D3 is correctly regarded as a neurohormone due to its pleiotropic biological activities. Although the relation between vitamin D and calcium-phosphorus metabolism has never been discussed, the knowledge on many other roles vitamin D plays is growing fast. Briefly, vitamin D immunomodulation includes attenuation and stimulation of Th1 and Th2 cell proliferation, respectively. Similarly, vitamin D can induce or inhibit the synthesis, secretion, and release of anti- inflammatory (IL- 4 and IL-10) and pro-inflammatory (IL-1, TNF-α, IFN-γ) cytokines, respectivel…
