De Novo Assembly and Functional Annotation of the Olive (Olea europaea) Transcriptome
2013
Olive breeding programmes are focused on selecting for traits as short juvenile period, plant architecture suited for mechanical harvest, or oil characteristics, including fatty acid composition, phenolic, and volatile compounds to suit new markets. Understanding the molecular basis of these characteristics and improving the efficiency of such breeding programmes require the development of genomic information and tools. However, despite its economic relevance, genomic information on olive or closely related species is still scarce. We have applied Sanger and 454 pyrosequencing technologies to generate close to 2 million reads from 12 cDNA libraries obtained from the Picual, Arbequina, and L…
Diagnostic Analyses for the Study of Materials, Technique and State of Preservation of a Gilt and Painted Leather of the XVIII Century
2013
Abstract In this study we report on the restoration work for the gilded and painted leather from the Sanctuary of the Santissimo Crocifisso di Papardura in Enna, Italy. The work started with a historical and stylistic examination of the artwork which dates back to 18th Century. The study of the leather and its decoration was deepened thanks to specific scientific analysis (such as XRF spectroscopy, Raman and SEM) in order to assure the integrity of the material during the restoration work. To this end, a diagnostic procedure was set up to provide a clear picture of constitutive materials (type of leather, silver leaf and pigments), technique, and state of preservation.
Explanation of Notation
1991
For the presentation of all 288 polarization observables in the next section we have adopted the following scheme. Each observable is a function of the angle and the photon energy. With respect to the latter we have chosen five energies, namely 4.5 MeV, the maximum of the total cross section, 20 MeV, 60 MeV, 100 MeV, and 140 MeV. For each observable and for each of these energies we have studied the following topics: (i) The influence of meson exchange currents (MEC), isobar configurations (IC) and relativistic corrections (RC). Since the various potential models give qualitatively very similar results, we use in this case the r-space version of the Bonn model (OBEPR). (ii) The contribution…
A Comparative Assessment of Listening Span and Self-Efficacy in Simultaneous Interpreting Training
2021
This study compares the results obtained from a group of interpreting trainees in an adapted listening span test (cognitive dimension), with those obtained from this same group in two self-efficacy tests (personality dimension). The objective is to assess the predictive value of these tests with respect to the scores obtained by the subjects in a simultaneous interpreting test. The analysis of data leads us to the conclusion that, at least in an initial training phase in simultaneous interpreting, only the cognitive factors (measured here in terms of listening span) show a significant and positive predictive capacity of the quality in simultaneous interpreting. In this regard, personality f…
Semantic annotation and big data techniques for patent information processing
2017
This thesis analyzes approaches to generate semantic annotations on patent records, as well as on other structured data, by relying on the structure and semantic representation of documents. Information in patent records reflects how real-world technologies evolve, and the approximately 3 million annual new patent applications capture the global inventive frontier. The volume of this information is too big to be effectively analyzed purely with human effort, necessitating Big data approaches to analyze it with computer aided tools and techniques. Big data is a term that describes a massive volume of structured, semi structured and unstructured data that is so large to the point that it is d…
PlaToLoCo: the first web meta-server for visualization and annotation of low complexity regions in proteins
2020
Abstract Low complexity regions (LCRs) in protein sequences are characterized by a less diverse amino acid composition compared to typically observed sequence diversity. Recent studies have shown that LCRs may co-occur with intrinsically disordered regions, are highly conserved in many organisms, and often play important roles in protein functions and in diseases. In previous decades, several methods have been developed to identify regions with LCRs or amino acid bias, but most of them as stand-alone applications and currently there is no web-based tool which allows users to explore LCRs in protein sequences with additional functional annotations. We aim to fill this gap by providing PlaToL…
IN service specification using the KANNEL language
1995
KANNEL is an application-oriented language for protocol engineering, with integrated support for all the main aspects of implementing typical communications software. Intelligent network services with distributed and interacting components share a number of central features with communications protocols, thus bringing in the possibility of applying protocol engineering techniques within the area of intelligent networking. To verify this view, the KANNEL language is applied to the specification of an intelligent calling card service. The specification includes both visual and textual notations of KANNEL.
Bernstein sets andκ-coverings
2010
䅢stract. In this paper we study a notion of a �-covering in connection with Bernstein sets and other types of nonmeasurability. Our results correspond to those obtained by Muthuvel in [7] and Nowik in [8]. We consider also other types of coverings. 1.

Content Based Indexing of Image and Video Databases by Global and Shape Features
1996
Indexing and retrieval methods based on the image content are required to effectively use information from the large repositories of digital images and videos currently available. Both global (colour, texture, motion, etc.) and local (object shape, etc.) features are needed to perform a reliable content based retrieval. We present a method for automatic extraction of global image features, like colour and motion parameters, and their use for data restriction in video database querying. Further retrieval is therefore accomplished, in a restricted set of images, by shape feature (skeleton, local symmetry moments, correlation, etc.) local search. The proposed indexing methodology has been deve…
Automatic image representation and clustering on mobile devices.
2010
In this paper a novel approach for the automatic representation of pictures on mobile devices is proposed. With the wide diffusion of mobile digital image acquisition devices, the need of managing a large number of digital images is quickly increasing. In fact the storage capacity of such devices allow users to store hundreds or even thousands, of pictures that, without a proper organization, become useless. Users may be interested in using (i.e., browsing, saving, printing and so on) a subset of stored data according to some particular picture properties. A content-based description of each picture is needed to perform on-board image indexing. In our work the images are analyzed and descri…
