Systematization and architecture

2018

Il concetto di sistematizzazione in architettura si riferisce all’adozione di un sistema d’ordine che regola l’intero processo – dalla concezione, alla progettazione sino alla realizzazione. Il contributo analizza la storia della sistematizzazione a partire dalla seconda rivoluzione industriale, con particolare riferimento all’influenza del progresso tecnologico ed industriale sulle tecniche produzione degli elementi di arredo nell’architettura moderna e contemporanea.

Visualization of Moiré Magnons in Monolayer Ferromagnet

2023

| openaire: EC/H2020/788185/EU//E-DESIGN Two-dimensional magnetic materials provide an ideal platform to explore collective many-body excitations associated with spin fluctuations. In particular, it should be feasible to explore, manipulate, and ultimately design magnonic excitations in two-dimensional van der Waals magnets in a controllable way. Here we demonstrate the emergence of moiré magnon excitations, stemming from the interplay of spin-excitations in monolayer CrBr3 and the moiré pattern arising from the lattice mismatch with the underlying substrate. The existence of moiré magnons is further confirmed via inelastic quasiparticle interference, showing the appearance of a dispersion …

Design and Performance Evaluation of a High Power-Density EMI Filter for PWM Inverter-Fed Induction-Motor Drives

2016

This paper presents the design of an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter for a low-voltage high-current induction-motor drives supplied by dc power grids. In order to effectively design the EMI filter, a suitable common-mode/differential-mode (CM/DM) separation technique has been used. Due to the high operating currents, the software-based separation technique using time-domain measurements has been applied. The proposed technique allows the CM and DM sections of the EMI filter to be properly selected in a more economical way, i.e., without the need of a dedicated hardware or costly radio frequency (RF) instrumentation. The design has been done according to a power-density criterion. …

Reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation and H-reflex measurement during balance perturbation tasks

2022

Following ankle movement, posterior balance perturbation evokes short- (SLR ∼30–50 ms), medium- (MLR ∼50–60 ms), and long-latency responses (LLR ∼70–90 ms) in soleus muscle before voluntary muscle contraction. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Hoffmann-reflex (H-reflex) measurements can provide insight into the contributions of corticospinal and spinal mechanisms to each response. Motor evoked potential (MEP) and H-reflex responses have shown good reliability in some dynamic muscle contraction tasks. However, it is still unclear how reliable these methods are in dynamic balance perturbation and corticospinal modulation during long amplitude balance perturbation tasks. 14 subjects …

Proprioceptive response strength in the primary sensorimotor cortex is invariant to the range of finger movement

2023

Available online 13 February 2023 Proprioception is the sense of body position and movement that relies on afference from the proprioceptors in muscles and joints. Proprioceptive responses in the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex can be elicited by stim- ulating the proprioceptors using evoked (passive) limb movements. In magnetoencephalography (MEG), propri- oceptive processing can be quantified by recording the movement evoked fields (MEFs) and movement-induced beta power modulations or by computing corticokinematic coherence (CKC) between the limb kinematics and cortical activity. We examined whether cortical proprioceptive processing quantified with MEF peak strength, relative beta supp…

Myotonic dystrophy: candidate small molecule therapeutics

2017

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a rare multisystemic neuromuscular disorder caused by expansion of CTG trinucleotide repeats in the noncoding region of the DMPK gene. Mutant DMPK transcripts are toxic and alter gene expression at several levels. Chiefly, the secondary structure formed by CUGs has a strong propensity to capture and retain proteins, like those of the muscleblind-like (MBNL) family. Sequestered MBNL proteins cannot then fulfill their normal functions. Many therapeutic approaches have been explored to reverse these pathological consequences. Here, we review the myriad of small molecules that have been proposed for DM1, including examples obtained from computational rational …

Treatment with a CO-releasing molecule (CORM-3) reduces joint inflammation and erosion in murine collagen-induced arthritis.

2008

Contains fulltext : 70589.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) OBJECTIVE: CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) are a novel class of anti-inflammatory agents. We have examined the possible therapeutic effects of CORM-3 in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). METHODS: Arthritis was induced in DBA-1/J mice by type II collagen. Animals were treated with CORM-3 (5 and 10 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally) or the inactive compound iCORM-3 (10 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally) unable to release CO, from days 22 to 31. Production of anti-type II collagen antibodies, cytokines and cartilage olimeric matrix protein (COMP) was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) by rad…

Penicillium lanoso-viride AMP dezamināzes imunomodulatoro mehānismu izpēte dažādās imūno šūnu subpopulacijās

2016

Maģistra darbā tika pētīti P.lanoso-viride AMPD imunomodulatorie mehānismi. Lai identificētu imūnās sistēmas šūnu populācijas un PRR klāstu, kas atbildīgi par AMPD atpazīšanu, ex vivo tika stimulēti perifēro asiņu paraugi ar AMPD (10 μg/ml), LPS (1 μg/ml) un Lentinānu (10 μg/ml) 4h vai 24 h. Tika veikta monocītu subopoulāciju fenotipēšana un aktivācijas marķieru (CD16, HLA-DR) virsmas un gēnu ekspresijas analīze, iekaisuma citokīnu (TNFα, IL-8, IL-6, IL-1b, MIP-1a, MIP-1b) sekrēcijas analīze. Tika veikta MR, TLR2, TLR4 un Dectin1 receptoru bloķēšana perifēro asiņu mononukleārajās šūnās. Rezultāti liecina, ka AMPD darbības mehānisma pamatā ir saistīšanās ar TLR4 receptoru, kura aktivācija ie…
