Genesi geometrica delle volte centriche
1996
Un'analisi completa degli organismi voltati comporta lo studio delle molteplici componenti necessarie alla loro definizione: configurazione geometrica, sistema costruttivo, area storico-geografica di appartenenza, interpretazioni Stilistiche. L’obiettivo di questo studio è indirizzato all' analisi delle volte continue su pianta centrica definibili attraverso le leggi della geometria euclidea. L’indagine si pone all'interno dei confini relativi alla loro configurazione geometrica e il criterio adottato, svincolato da classificazioni di carattere tipologico o stilistico, propone l'identificazione di famiglie geometriche in base alla figura del poligono di base dell'impianto. Si può identifica…
MAST-RT0 SOLUTION OF 3D NAVIER STOKES EQUATIONS ON UNSTRUCTURED MESHS. PRELIMINARY RESULTS IN THE LAMINAR CASE
2021
MAST-RT0 solution of 3D Navier Stokes equations in very irregular domains. Preliminary results in the laminar case
2021
A new numerical methodology to solve the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids within complex boundaries and unstructured body-fitted tetrahedral mesh is presented and validated with three literature and one real-case tests. We apply a fractional time step procedure where a predictor and a corrector problem are sequentially solved. The predictor step is solved applying the MAST (Marching in Space and Time) procedure, which explicitly handles the non-linear terms in the momentum equations, allowing numerical stability for Courant number greater than one. Correction steps are solved by a Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements discretization that assumes positive distances among tetrahedr…
Efficacy of an internet-based psychological intervention for problem gambling and gambling disorder: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
2021
Gambling Disorder is a prevalent non-substance use disorder, which contrasts with the low number of people requesting treatment. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) could help to enhance the dissemination of evidence-based treatments and considerably reduce the costs. The current study seeks to assess the efficacy of an online psychological intervention for people suffering from gambling problems in Spain. The proposed study will be a two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A total of 134 participants (problem and pathological gamblers) will be randomly allocated to a waiting list control group (N = 67) or an intervention group (N = 67). The intervention program i…
Abstract C75: Overcoming KRAS/LKB1 mutant NSCLC resistance to BET bromodomain inhibitors with gemcitabine or Mcl-1 inhibition
2015
Abstract The purpose of our study was to define a method and mechanism for overcoming the resistance of clinically relevant KRAS-mutant/LKB1-deficient NSCLC cells to the BET-bromodomain inhibitor JQ1. LKB1 (Serine/threonine kinase 11) is mutated with loss of function in conjunction with mutated KRAS in 7-10% of NSCLC. Importantly, KRAS-mutant/LKB1-deficiency is associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor survival in human patients as well as in genetically engineered mouse models. Indeed, although the BET bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 dramatically reduces tumor volume in KRAS mutant mice, it has little effect in KRAS-mutant/LKB1-deficient mice. BET bromodomain proteins are chromatin readers t…
Down-regulation of Endogenous Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing due to Cellular Aging
2005
Processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a well acknowledged central pathogenic mechanism in Alzheimer disease. However, influences of age-associated cellular alterations on the biochemistry of APP processing have not been studied in molecular detail so far. Here, we report that processing of endogenous APP is down-regulated during the aging of normal human fibroblasts (IMR-90). The generation of intracellular APP cleavage products C99, C83, and AICD gradually declines with increasing life span and is accompanied by a reduced secretion of soluble APP (sAPP) and sAPPalpha. Further, the maturation of APP was reduced in senescent cells, which has been shown to be directly mediated by a…

Students’ Perceptions of Family Entrepreneurship – A Study on Family Business Academic Education
2010
L’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser les points de vue d’étudiants universitaires envers la condition des entrepreneurs. Le fond théorique analyse l’interaction entre l’entreprise familiale, le propriétaireship, et l’éducation sur la condition des entrepreneurs. 211 étudiants de l’Université de Jyväskylä ont participé à cette étude pendant le cours fondamental de Basic business studies appelé “Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Business Operations” en septembre 2007. 143 d’entre eux ont écrit un essai d’une page, soit en finnois soit en anglais, sur les entreprises familiales et les propriétaires familiales. Les étudiants ont écrit sur le phénomène avec leurs propres mots. Les rés…
Molecular mechanisms of endomembrane trafficking in plants
2021
Abstract Endomembrane trafficking is essential for all eukaryotic cells. The best-characterized membrane trafficking organelles include the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, early and recycling endosomes, multivesicular body, or late endosome, lysosome/vacuole, and plasma membrane. Although historically plants have given rise to cell biology, our understanding of membrane trafficking has mainly been shaped by the much more studied mammalian and yeast models. Whereas organelles and major protein families that regulate endomembrane trafficking are largely conserved across all eukaryotes, exciting variations are emerging from advances in plant cell biology research. In this review, …
