Detection of natural killer T cells in mice infected with Rickettsia conorii.
2013
Little information is available regarding the role of natural killer T (NKT) cells during the early stage of Rickettsia conorii infection. Herein, C3H/HeN mice were infected with the Malish 7 strain of R. conorii. Splenocytes from these mice were analysed in the early stage of the infection by flow cytometry and compared with uninfected controls. Our results showed an increase in NKT cells in infected mice. Additionally, NKT interleukin (IL)-17(+) cells increased three days after infection, together with a concurrent decrease in the relative amount of NKT interferon (IFN)-γ(+) cells. We also confirmed a higher amount of NK IFN-γ(+) cells in infected mice. Taken together, our data showed tha…

Relationship between inbreeding and milk production traits in two Italian dairy sheep breeds.
2022
The effects of inbreeding in livestock species breeds have been well documented and they have a negative impact on profitability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the levels of inbreeding in Sarda (SAR, n = 785) and Valle del Belice (VdB, n = 473) dairy sheep breeds and their impact on milk production traits. Two inbreeding coefficients (F) were estimated: using pedigree (FPED), or runs of homozygosity (ROH; FROH) at different minimum ROH lengths and different ROH classes. After the quality control, 38,779 single nucleotide polymorphisms remained for further analyses. A mixed-linear model was used to evaluate the impact of inbreeding coefficients on production traits within each …
Rule of the One: Avicenna, Bahmanyār, and al-Rāzī on the Argument from the Mubāḥathāt
2020
Avicenna is a strong proponent of what some of the later ones call qāʻidat al-wāḥid or ‘rule of the one’ (RO). The gist of RO states: from the one only one directly proceeds. In the secondary literature, discussion of this Avicennian rule is usually limited to a particular application of it i.e., the issue of emanation. As result, it’s not really clear what RO means, nor why Avicenna endorsed it. In this paper, I try and remedy this situation by doing two things – one on the taṣawwur front, the other on the tasdīq. First, explain just what the terms of RO amount to – that is, its subject and predicate. In doing this, I distinguish between a narrow and a broad understanding of RO, and the sh…
Kārļa Ulmaņa autoritārisma laika rūpniecības attīstības iezīmes: a/s "Fēnikss" ("Vairogs") piemērs, 1934.-1940
2022
Bakalaura darbs “Kārļa Ulmaņa autoritārisma laika rūpniecības attīstības iezīmes: a/s “Fēnikss” (“Vairogs”) piemērs 1934-1940” sniedz apkopojumu par laika periodu, kad rūpnīcas “Fēnikss” darbība saskarās ar jauno Kārļa Ulmaņa autoritāro režīmu, kam bija būtiska ietekme uz Latvijas tautsaimniecību. Darba hronoloģiskais ietvars skar neatkarīgās Latvijas vēstures posmu no 1923. gada maija, kad “Fēnikss” atsāk savu darbību, līdz 1936. gadam, kad beidzas tās pastāvēšana. Rūpnīcas “Fēnikss” darbība bija būtiski atkarīga no Latvijas ekonomiskās politikas, jo tās darbību nodrošināja ārzemju izejvielas un pasūtījumi. Neizdevīgā valsts muitas un finanšu politika radīja tikai papildus zaudējumus, kas …

A New Development in Online Marketing: Introducing Digital Inbound Marketing
2015
This paper addresses the conceptualization, scale development and scale validation related to the study of consumer engagement in online settings. It first reviews this concept and draws attention to the multidimensionality of the construct, considering the underlying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions of consumer engagement. Then, it presents the foundation of this concept in relationship marketing and adds support to this proposition. Further, it proposes the construction and psychometric assessment of a 37 scales that examine all three dimensions, based on an international sample of 110 respondents who engage with a brand on a social media network. Based on multiple and succ…
A black-box, general purpose quadratic self-consistent field code with and without Cholesky Decomposition of the two-electron integrals
2021
We present the implementation of a quadratically convergent self-consistent field (QCSCF) algorithm based on an adaptive trust-radius optimisation scheme for restricted open-shell Hartree���Fock (ROHF), restricted Hartree���Fock (RHF), and unrestricted Hartree���Fock (UHF) references. The algorithm can exploit Cholesky decomposition (CD) of the two-electron integrals to allow calculations on larger systems. The most important feature of the QCSCF code lies in its black-box nature ��� probably the most important quality desired by a generic user. As shown for pilot applications, it does not require one to tune the self-consistent field (SCF) parameters (damping, Pulay's DIIS, and other simil…
Autonomie locali e politiche pubbliche per l’economia digitale
2019
La rivoluzione digitale ha causato in questi anni un significativo disalli- neamento tra chi subisce le conseguenze delle nuove forme economiche e la distribuzione delle responsabilità regolative tra i diversi attori. Il risultato è che le città sono le più colpite dai cambiamenti in atto, ma non sempre hanno strumenti adeguati a fronteggiare le novità e interpretarle secondo i propri bisogni e necessità. A partire da queste premesse, il presente lavoro analizza l’impatto delle tecnologie digitali sul tessuto socio-economico delle città e ragiona sulle contrapposte esigenze di politiche ritagliate sulle spe- cificità locali e, al contempo, di regole omogenee per il mercato. Su questa inelim…
