Stochastic model for complex surface-reaction systems with application toNH3formation
1993
A stochastic model is introduced that is appropriate to describe surface-reaction systems. These reaction systems are well suited for the description via master equations using their Markovian behavior. In this representation an infinite chain of master equations for the distribution functions of the state of the surface, of pairs of surface sites, etc., arises. This hierarchy is truncated by a superposition approximation. The resulting lattice equations are solved in a small region which contains all of the structure-sensitive aspects and can be connected to continuous functions which represent the behavior of the system for large distances from a reference point. In the present paper, we …
Reply to "comment on 'Monte Carlo simulations for a Lotka-type model with reactant surface diffusion and interactions' ".
2002
As is well known, a wide class of physical problems, including the kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, is traditionally described in terms of the master equations ~ME!. The definition of ME allows us not only to perform Monte Carlo ~MC! simulations, but also to develop at the same time appropriate analytical methods @mean field~MF!, cluster approximations, etc. #@ 1#. ME is formally defined when all possible states of a system and the transition rates between these states are specified. This is enough to define only the transition rates K(i! j ) for such elementary processes as particle adsorption, desorption, diffusion, reaction, etc., from the initial state i to the final state…
Integrated approach to the assessment of waste management systems within the SEA framework
2007
This paper addresses the problem of evaluating the environmental performances of Urban Waste Systems. Specifically, the paper refers to the crucial problem of environmentally analysing the Urban Waste System Management Process. The application of the Dashboard of Sustainability has been deliberately suggested. The method has been selected because of its intrinsic simplicity and because it can provide the simultaneous evaluation of indicators which refer to different fields, such as the Environment, Economics and Quality in Institutional Services. The method has been applied to the city of Palermo. The results obtained have been compared to a couple of ideal scenarios.

Enabling quantum non-Markovian dynamics by injection of classical colored noise
2017
The non-Markovian nature of quantum systems recently turned to be a key subject for investigations on open quantum system dynamics. Many studies, from its theoretical grounding to its usefulness as a resource for quantum information processing and experimental demonstrations, have been reported in the literature. Typically, in these studies, a structured reservoir is required to make non-Markovian dynamics emerge. Here, we investigate the dynamics of a qubit interacting with a bosonic bath and under the injection of a classical stochastic colored noise. A canonical Lindblad-like master equation for the system is derived by using the stochastic wave function formalism. Then, the non-Markovia…
ChemInform Abstract: Two New Sesquiterpene Derivatives from the Tunisian Endemic Ferula tunetana Pom.
2010
A new sesquiterpene ester, tunetanin A (1), a new sesquiterpene coumarin, tunetacoumarin A (2), together with eight known compounds, i.e., coladin (3), coladonin (4), isosmarcandin (5), 13-hydroxyfeselol (6), umbelliprenin (7) propiophenone (8), beta-sitosterol (9), and stigmasterol (10), were isolated from the roots of Ferula tunetana. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments and MS analysis, as well as by comparison with published data. The cytotoxicity of compounds 1-7 towards two human colon cancer cell lines, HT-29 and HCT 116, was evaluated. Compounds 3, 4, and 6 showed weak cytotoxic activities.
E-portfolio e flipped classroom: un’indagine esplorativa con i futuri insegnanti di scuola primaria
2023
Il contributo intende far riflettere sul tema della formazione dei futuri insegnanti di scuola primaria, a partire dall’impiego dell’e-portfolio come dispositivo innovativo per promuovere l’acquisizione della competenza riflessiva e autovalutativa all’interno della flipped classroom. La ricerca, che ha coinvolto 154 studenti del Corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, che frequentavano il corso di Docimologia nell’anno accademico 2020/2021, presenta i presupposti teorici, gli obiettivi e le modalità operative di un percorso che ha visto l’impiego dell’e-portfolio nella flipped per promuovere lo sviluppo delle competenze docimol…
"Master-Slave" Biological Network Alignment
2010
Performing global alignment between protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of different organisms is important to infer knowledge about conservation across species. Known methods that perform this task operate symmetrically, that is to say, they do not assign a distinct role to the input PPI networks. However, in most cases, the input networks are indeed distinguishable on the basis of how well the corresponding organism is biologically well-characterized. For well-characterized organisms the associated PPI network supposedly encode in a sound manner all the information about their proteins and associated interactions, which is far from being the case for not well characterized ones. He…

The purpose of this article is to make an approach to the musical world of the illustrious Mexican Jerome nun Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648-1695) who stood out for her wisdom, understanding and mastery in various fields of the arts and sciences in a surprising way .
L?escrutini de la Batllia General de València durant la visita general de Pedro de la Gasca (1543-1545)
2019
Master?s Final Project is aimed at illustrating the situation that the general Bailiwick of València experienced within the firs half of the sixteenth century, starting from the reconstruction of the general visit process carried out by Pedro de la Gasca, as well as the consequences it implied for the institution.
