Parietal Cortex Connectivity as a Marker of Shift in Spatial Attention Following Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation
2021
Non-invasive brain stimulation is a useful tool to probe brain function and provide therapeutic treatments in disease. When applied to the right posterior parietal cortex (PPC) of healthy participants, it is possible to temporarily shift spatial attention and mimic symptoms of spatial neglect. However, the field of brain stimulation is plagued by issues of high response variability. The aim of this study was to investigate baseline functional connectivity as a predictor of response to an inhibitory brain stimulation paradigm applied to the right PPC. In fourteen healthy adults (9 female, aged 24.8 ± 4.0 years) we applied continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) to suppress activity in the …
Comprehensive analysis of interacting proteins and genome-wide location studies of the Sas3-dependent NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex
2014
Highlights • We characterise Sas3p and Gcn5p active HAT complexes in WT and deleted TAP-strains. • We confirm that Pdp3p interacts with NuA3, histones and chromatin regulators. • Pdp3p MS-analysis reveals its phosphorylation, ubiquitination and methylation. • Sas3p can substitute Gcn5p in acetylation of histone H3K14 but not of H3K9. • Genome-wide profiling of Sas3p supports its involvement in transcriptional elongation.
Semantic Complexity in Natural Language
2015
This chapter presents the technical framework that the authors used to define fragments of natural languages and formulate questions as to their semantic complexity. It examines the study of the classical syllogistic and its extensions. It analyzes the semantic complexity of various salient fragments of English. It highlights that the language of argument, featuring transitive verbs, is in an objective sense inferentially no more complex than the language of classical syllogisms exemplified by argument, indeed, the analogous extension featuring ditransitive verbs involves only a modest increase in complexity. On the other hand, the language of argument, which adds relative clauses to the cl…
Il calice di Giovanni di ser Iacobo ed altre suppellettili toscane del Trecento in Sicilia: novità su artisti e committenti
2012
La preziosa suppellettile liturgica conservata nel tesoro della Cattedrale di Messina è già nota da tempo agli studiosi perché firmata dall'orafo fiorentino Giovanni di ser Iacobo attivo alla corte reale angioina di Napoli. Il saggio, grazie alla corretta lettura della seconda iscrizione apposta sull'opera, individua la committente, la francescana suor Stefania Rufolo, la probabile destinazione originaria per un convento dell'area amalfitana e le ragioni per cui è successivamente giunta a Messina. Con l'occasione, si fa il punto anche su altre opere toscane coeve con smalti traslucidi The precious liturgical ornament preserved in the treasury of Messina Cathedral has long been known to scho…
Bezpośrednie wytwarzanie energii elektrycznej z oleju napędowego
2016
Ze względu na stale wzrastające zapotrzebowanie na energię elektryczną poszukiwane są coraz to nowsze rozwiązania, pozwalające na sprostanie temu wyzwaniu. W ostatnich latach oprócz tradycyjnych metod wytwarzania energii coraz dynamiczniej rozwija się energetyka niekonwencjonalna. Przykładem takiego rozwiązania jest stosowanie ogniw paliwowych, głównie ze względu na ich wysoką sprawność. Ogniwa te przetwarzają energię chemiczną bezpośrednio na energię elektryczną, z pominięciem procesu spalania paliwa. Najczęściej zasilane są wodorem, jednak problemy z jego przechowywaniem wymuszają poszukiwanie innych paliw. Ponadto ogniwa paliwowe mogą stanowić dodatkowe/zapasowe źródło energii elektryczn…
Hajautunut neuvottelujärjestelmä parantaa palkkoja ja työhyvinvointia
2022
Työehtosopimusneuvotteluiden taso on Euroopassa siirtynyt lähemmäs yritystasoa viime vuosikymmenien aikana. Tätä kutsutaan neuvottelujärjestelmän hajautumiseksi. Suomessa on kuitenkin nykyhetkeen saakka pysytty liittotasoisessa sopimisessa, vaikka vertailumaissa siirryttiin hajautuneempaan järjestelmään jo 1990-luvulle tultaessa. nonPeerReviewed
Erri De Luca, un italiano senza la parola patria
2011
International audience; Fin dagli anni dell'adolescenza, Erri De Luca considera che il vocabolo "patria", infangato dall'uso che ne ha fatto il fascismo, è ormai "inservibile". Militante della sinistra extraparlamentare negli anni Settanta, egli ha condiviso con molti coetanei la speranza di un superamento dello stato nazionale borghese. Lo scrittore, che non ha rinnegato il proprio impegno passato, afferma tuttora di non sapere provare "sentimenti di appartenenza" e di sentirsi "in disparte della comunità nazionale". Se egli non ha patria fuori della lingua italiana (considerata da lui un dono paterno) intrattiene tuttavia rapporti ambivalenti con la città di nascita, Napoli, e col dialett…
Ilmisubjektin esiintyvyys kirjoitetussa oppijansuomessa
2017
Tämä maisterintutkielma selvittää ilmisubjektin esiintyvyyttä kirjoitetussa oppijansuomessa. Tutkimus on aihealueeltaan suomi toisena kielenä -tutkimusta. Ilmisubjektin käyttöä kirjoitetussa oppijansuomessa ei ole vastaavanlaisesti tutkittu. Tutkimus pyrkii selvittämään, miten ilmisubjekti esiintyy yksikön 1. persoonassa Eurooppalaisen viitekehyksen (EVK) eri taitotasoilla. Lisäksi tutkitaan sitä, esiintyykö ilmisubjekti poikkeavasti eri semanttisissa verbiluokissa. Myös selvitetään, vaikuttaako verbin esiintymisfrekvenssi siihen, kuinka usein verbi on ilmisubjektillinen. Ilmisubjektilla tarkoitetaan persoonamuotoisen verbin yhteyteen ilmipantua pronominisubjektia. Tutkimuksessa on eroteltu…
Can Oscillatory Alpha-Gamma Phase-Amplitude Coupling be Used to Understand and Enhance TMS Effects?
2019
Recent applications of simultaneous scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) suggest that adapting stimulation to underlying brain states may enhance neuroplastic effects of TMS. It is often assumed that longer-lasting effects of TMS on brain function may be mediated by phasic interactions between TMS pulses and endogenous cortical oscillatory dynamics. The mechanisms by which TMS exerts its neuromodulatory effects, however, remain unknown. Here, we discuss evidence concerning the functional effects on synaptic plasticity of oscillatory cross-frequency coupling in cortical networks as a potential framework for understanding the neuromodulatory effects o…
