Wielandt's results for algebraic k-groups
2006
We analyze the relation between subnormality and nilpotence, the subnormal joint property, some criteria of subnormality, the norm and the Wielandt subgroup in the case of algebraic groups defined over an arbitrary field.
Sequentially Forecasting Economic Indices Using Mixture Linear Combinations of EP Distributions
2021
This article displays an application of the statistical method moti- vated by Bruno de Finetti's operational subjective theory of probability. We use exchangeable forecasting distributions based on mixtures of linear com- binations of exponential power (EP) distributions to forecast the sequence of daily rates of return from the Dow-Jones index of stock prices over a 20 year period. The operational subjective statistical method for comparing distributions is quite different from that commonly used in data analysis, because it rejects the basic tenets underlying the practice of hypothesis test- ing. In its place, proper scoring rules for forecast distributions are used to assess the values o…
Gluten Induces Subtle Histological Changes in Duodenal Mucosa of Patients with Non-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity : A Multicentre Study
2022
Background: Histological changes induced by gluten in the duodenal mucosa of patients with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) are poorly defined. \ud \ud \ud \ud Objectives: To evaluate the structural and inflammatory features of NCGS compared to controls and coeliac disease (CeD) with milder enteropathy (Marsh I-II). \ud \ud \ud \ud Methods: Well-oriented biopsies of 262 control cases with normal gastroscopy and histologic findings, 261 CeD, and 175 NCGS biopsies from 9 contributing countries were examined. Villus height (VH, in μm), crypt depth (CrD, in μm), villus-to-crypt ratios (VCR), IELs (intraepithelial lymphocytes/100 enterocytes), and other relevant histological, serologic, and…
Glaucoma e pressione arteriosa sistemica
2008
L’autore descrive il ruolo controverso dell’ipertensione arteriosa nell’evoluzione del glaucoma. La progressione del glaucoma, infatti, sembra essere correlata alla riduzione delle velocità di flusso ematico a livello retro bulbare che è finemente regolato per adattarsi alle variazioni dei bisogni metabolici durante il cambiamento della funzione visiva e per compensare il variare delle pressioni di perfusione. Questa autoregolazione però è presente finché la pressione di perfusione si mantiene entro un range di 25-60 mmHg. Una pressione arteriosa bassa comporta una perdita di autoregolazione e ad un'ischemia della papilla ottica . L'ipotensione notturna,pertanto, rilevata durante il trattam…
Congenital malformations.
2012
Congenital malformations are single or multiple defects of the morphogenesis of organs or body districts identifiable at birth or during the intrauterine life. Their global birth prevalence is about 2–3%. Both genetic and environmental factors, as well as their combination in a multifactorial contest, may induce congenital defects. Congenital malformations may be classi- fied on the basis of clinical, etiologic as well as pathogenetic criteria. Relevant diagnostic and therapeutic tools have been progressively improving in the last decades, contributing to a better identification and a reduction of long-term morbidity and mortality of these patients. A correct identification of a congen- ita…
Discrete Time Portfolio Selection with Lévy Processes
2007
This paper analyzes discrete time portfolio selection models with Lévy processes. We first implement portfolio models under the hypotheses the vector of log-returns follow or a multivariate Variance Gamma model or a Multivariate Normal Inverse Gaussian model or a Brownian Motion. In particular, we propose an ex-ante and an ex-post empirical comparisons by the point of view of different investors. Thus, we compare portfolio strategies considering different term structure scenarios and different distributional assumptions when unlimited short sales are allowed.
A Comparison among Portfolio Selection Strategies with Subordinated Lévy Processes
2007
In this paper we describe portfolio selection models using Lévy processes. The contribution consists in comparing some portfolio selection strategies under different distributional assumptions. We first implement portfolio models under the hypothesis the log-returns follow a particular process with independent and stationary increments. Then we compare the ex-post final wealth of optimal portfolio selection models with subordinated Lévy processes when limited short sales and transaction costs are allowed.

Ferroelastic transition in Kbr:Kcn studied by neutrons, x-rays and ultrasonic
1986
The ferroelastic phase transition of (KBr) 0 27 (KNC) 0.73 has been studied by X-ray diffraction, ultrasonics and inelastic neutron scattering. It is the first example of a cubic crystal where the elastic shear constant C 44 softens completely corresponding to the m = 2 universality class. C 44 and the Bragg intensities show a non-classical critical behaviour.
