Moment-angle complexes and complexe manifolds
2010
The aim of this thesis is to extend the results of the article [B-M] on the relations between moment-angle complexes and complex manifolds. We will focus here on moment-angle complexes defined by a simplicial (not only polytopal) decomposition of the sphere. We will also seek to use the relationship between these two kinds of objects to be understand the topology of several complex manifolds.

Hyperbolic actions of the multiplicative group on affine varieties : exotic spaces and local structures
2015
This thesis is devoted to the study of affine T-varieties using the Altmann-Hausen presentation. We are especially interested in the case of hyperbolic actions of the multiplicative group Gm. In the first part, exotic affine spaces are studied, that is, smooth contractible affine varieties, assuming in addition that they are endowed with a Gm-action. In particular, in the case of dimension 3, we reinterpret the construction of Koras-Russell threefolds in terms of polyhedral divisors andwe give constructions of smooth contractible affine varieties and in dimensionslarger than 3.In the second part we consider the property of G-uniform rationality for a G-variety. This means that every point o…
New Decision-making Tools for sustainable Weed Control
2021
En 2017, le Conseil fédéral suisse a adopté le pland’action visant à la réduction des risques et à l’utilisation durable des produits phytosanitaires. L’une desmesures de ce plan est «la renonciation complète oupartielle aux herbicides». Or, celle-ci n’est réalisablequ’au travers d’une stratégie de gestion globale desadventices, à l’échelle de la culture et de la rotation. Eneffet, les adventices sont nuisibles pour la culture enplace l’année en cours, mais aussi de manière pluriannuelle par le biais de leur stock semencier. La mise enœuvre de mesures préventives et curatives basées surles principes de la protection intégrée nécessite denouveaux outils d’aide à la décision. Des indicateursd…
Bene ordinata et eleganter picta. Kościół św. Jerzego w Gliwicach-Ostropie (1667-1719-2019). Monografia wydana z okazji 350. rocznicy budowy kościoła…
2019
Wieloautorska monografia, pod naukową redakcją ks. Piotra Góreckiego, powstała z okazji 350. rocznicy budowy murowano-drewnianego kościoła pw. św. Jerzego w Gliwicach-Ostropie oraz 300. rocznicy jego poświęcenia. Pod koniec prowadzonego przez ponad 10 lat kapitalnego remontu zdecydowano się, aby pozostawić trwały ślad nie tylko w strukturze zabytkowej odrestaurowanej budowli, ale także aby opublikować monografię książkową, zbierającą w jedną całość dotychczasową wiedzę o tym zabytkowym kościele: jego przeszłości i aktualnym stanie, jego historycznej konstrukcji i przechowywanej w nim lub też w Muzeum Diecezjalnym w Opolu zabytkowej substancji. Do napisania poszczególnych rozdziałów zaproszo…
PLLA-BASED SCAFFOLDS FOR OSTEOCHONDRAL TISSUE REGENERATION VIA THERMALLY INDUCED PHASE SEPARATION TECHNIQUE
L’ingegneria tessutale (TE) è una scienza multidisciplinare che mira a progettare e sviluppare sostituti biologici per migliorare, riparare e/o sostituire i tessuti negli organismi umani. Sulla base della tipica triade dell’ingegneria tessutale è incentrato il primo capitolo Scaffold, Source and Signal; lo scaffold funge da struttura tridimensionale, le cellule rappresentano la source mentre il bioreattore fornisce gli adeguati segnali chimico/fisici. In questo lavoro di tesi sono stati presi in considerazione tutti e tre questi aspetti avendo come obiettivo la rigenerazione osteocondrale. La guarigione dei difetti osteocondrali, riguardanti le lesioni della cartilagine che si esten- dono f…
Blue biotechnology: enhancement of bioremediation using bacterial biofilms on biodegradable scaffolds
2016
Petroleum hydrocarbons are still the most threatening environmental pollutants. A promising non invasive and low-cost technology for the treatment of contaminated sites is based on bioremediation by biodegrading microorganism endowed with catabolic ability towards oil and derivatives. New methods are needed to enhance and optimize natural biodegradation, such as the immobilization of hydrocarbons degraders in many types of supports. We developed a scaffold-bacteria bioremediation system to clean up oil contamination based on degradable 3D scaffolds. The polycaprolactone component is biodegradable, produced in the melt, i.e. at low cost and without the use of toxic solvents. The biofilm is m…
Poly-lactic acid and fibrinoin scaffolds as three-dimensional device to differentiate cardiac stem cells: in vitro and in vivo studies

The role of biomaterials in the direction of cardiac stem cells properties, differentiation and extracellular matrix interactions in cardiac tissue e…

Introduction: One of the main problems in the rapid translation of preclinical cell‐based therapy to restore damaged myocardium is to find the best delivery route and the best time of cell injection into the myocardium. Intramyocardial injection of stem cells is by far the mostused delivery technique in preclinical studies. Three‐dimensional scaffolds may be used to deliver a limited number of stem cells in their undifferentiated state, but many biomaterials may cause a foreign body reaction on their own. We have recently demonstrated that c‐Kit positive cardiac progenitor cells are able to organize themselves into a tissue‐like cell mass in collagen I three‐dimensional cultures within 72h …
Effect of the junction angle on turbulent flow at a hydraulic confluence
2018
Despite the existing knowledge concerning the hydrodynamic processes at river junctions, there is still a lack of information regarding the particular case of low width and discharge ratios, which are the typical conditions of mountain river confluences. Aiming at filling this gap, laboratory and numerical experiments were conducted, comparing the results with literature findings. Ten different confluences from 45 ∘ to 90 ∘ were simulated to study the effects of the junction angle on the flow structure, using a numerical code that solves the 3D Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with the k- ϵ turbulence closure model. The results showed that the higher the junction angle, the …
Interpenetrated 3D porous scaffolds of silk fibroin with an amino and octadecyl functionalized hyaluronic acid
2015
An ethylenediamine (EDA) and octadecylamine (-C18) hyaluronic acid (HA) derivative, named HA-EDA-C18, has been used for the production of interpenetrated composite biomaterials with silk fibroin. The peculiar ionic strength sensibility of this HA derivative allows the production of porous matrices without the need for chemical crosslinking. Scaffolds have been produced through a salt leaching procedure by exploiting the properties of silk fibroin and HA-EDA-C18 to physically crosslink when forced through a syringe loaded with NaCl. The porosity of the sponges, comprised between 70-80%, was dependent on the amount of each polymer and NaCl size distribution. Moreover, through FT-IR analysis, …
