ChemInform Abstract: New Binary Antimonide Hf5Sb3 - Differences and Similarities to the Zr Antimonides.

2010

Abstract Hf5Sb3 can be prepared by arc-melting of hafnium and previously synthesized HfSb2. It crystallizes like the high-temperature modification of Zr5Sb3 in the Y5Bi3 structure type, space group Pnma, Z=4, a=740.75(9) pm, b=871.8(1) pm, c=1073.6(1) pm, V=693.3(1) 106pm3. An antimonide analogous to the low-temperature form of Zr5Sb3 was not obtained during our investigations. In the structure of Hf5Sb3, the Hf atoms form a three-dimensional network with numerous short Hf–Hf contacts, including the Sb atoms in severely distorted two- and three-capped trigonal prismatic voids. Calculations of the electronic structure, performed with the extended Huckel approximation as well as the TB-LMTO-A…

Narrazioni al femminile di Cosa Nostra

2010

Starting from the analysis of the important transformations that have characterized the roles of women within the criminal world of Cosa Nostra in the last decades, the article focuses on the dimensions of identity and communication through which the belonging of women to the mafia universe or their exclusion from male territories are defined. In the last two decades, the criminal organization, weakened by the many arrests, has increasingly entrusted to women the responsibility to preserve, affirm and reflect its image of power to the outside. In times of emergency, women are considered the most reliable interlocutors. Using direct evidence, interviews, letters and judicial materials, the a…

Prototyping Crop Traits Retrieval Models for CHIME: Dimensionality Reduction Strategies Applied to PRISMA Data

2022

In preparation for new-generation imaging spectrometer missions and the accompanying unprecedented inflow of hyperspectral data, optimized models are needed to generate vegetation traits routinely. Hybrid models, combining radiative transfer models with machine learning algorithms, are preferred, however, dealing with spectral collinearity imposes an additional challenge. In this study, we analyzed two spectral dimensionality reduction methods: principal component analysis (PCA) and band ranking (BR), embedded in a hybrid workflow for the retrieval of specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area index (LAI), canopy water content (CWC), canopy chlorophyll content (CCC), the fraction of absorbed photo…

A PRISMA-compliant systematic review of the endpoints employed to evaluate symptomatic treatments for primary headaches

2018

Abstract Background Primary headache are prevalent and debilitating disorders. Acute pain cessation is one of the key points in their treatment. Many drugs have been studied but the design of the trials is not usually homogeneous. Efficacy of the trial is determined depending on the selected primary endpoint and usually other different outcomes are measured. We aim to critically appraise which were the employed outcomes through a systematic review. Methods We conducted a systematic review of literature focusing on studies on primary headache evaluating acute relief of pain, following the PRISMA guideline. The study population included patients participating in a controlled study about sympt…

P258 Combining tDCS with prismatic adaptation for non invasive neuromodulation of the motor cortex

2017

Introduction Prismatic adaptation (PA) shifts visual field laterally and induces lateralized deviations of spatial attention. Recently, it has been suggested that prismatic goggles are also able to modulate brain excitability ( Magnani, 2014 ), with cognitive after-effects documented even in tasks not necessarily spatial in nature ( Oliveri, 2013 ). Objectives The aim of the present study was to test whether prisms can modulate motor cortical excitability similarly as anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) does; to test whether neuromodulatory effects obtained from tDCS and prismatic goggles could interact and induce homeostatic changes in brain excitability. Materials and me…

Il prisma del crimine di Henry e Lanier

2021

Al fine di esemplificare la tensione verso modelli integrati, il lavoro di Stuart Henry e Mark M. Lanier: Essential Criminology (2009) permette di valutare le opportunità che derivano dall’uso di un modello euristico che integra le diverse dimensioni che determinano il crimine. In order to exemplify the tension towards integrated models, the work of Stuart Henry and Mark M.: Lanier Essential Criminology (2009) allows us to evaluate the opportunities that arise from the use of a heuristic model that integrates the different dimensions that determine crime.

Prismatic adaptation modulates oscillatory EEG correlates of motor preparation but not visual attention in healthy participants

2018

Prismatic adaption (PA) has been proposed as a tool to induce neural plasticity and is used to help neglect rehabilitation. It leads to a recalibration of visuo-motor coordination during pointing as well as to after-effects on a number of sensorimotor and attention tasks, but whether these effects originate at a motor or attentional level remains a matter of debate. Our aim was to further characterise PA after-effects by using an approach that allows distinguishing between effects on attentional and motor processes. We recorded electroencephalography (EEG) in healthy human participants (9 females and 7 males) while performing a new double step, anticipatory attention/motor preparation parad…

Reintroducētās Hyla (Laurenti, 1768) ģints kokvardes ģenētiskā daudzveidība Latvijā.

2022

Ģenētiskā daudzveidība ir sugu aizsardzībā svarīgs parametrs, kas raksturo populāciju izdzīvošanas spēju. Darba mērķis bija raksturot Eiropas kokvaržu sugu kompleksa ģenētisko daudzveidību, diferencēt Latvijā reintroducētās kokvardes sugu un noteikt tās ģenētisko daudzveidību. Sistemātiskās literatūras analīzē tika apkopotas biežāk izmantotās metodes ģenētiskās daudzveidības analīzē un izveidots sistemātisks literatūras pārskats par Eiropas kokvaržu ģenētisko daudzveidību. Sugas diferenciācijas rezultāti pierādīja, ka Latvijā reintroducētā kokvarde pieder Austrumu kokvardes Hyla orientalis sugai. Analizētās kokvardes no Kurzemes ģenētiski veidoja vienu populāciju ar zemu haplotipu un nukleo…
