Frequency format facilitates reasoning in simple numerical tasks.
2005
This study examined whether it is easier to reason in terms of frequencies or with percentages for simple numerical tasks. Research on probabilistic reasoning has shown that humans can draw correct inferences when problems are presented in terms of natural frequencies but not when in percentages. Whether the same effect can be observed in other numerically simple tasks which are not probabilistic was studied with 40 undergraduate students who volunteered for the experiment (13 men, 27 women; M age of 23 yr.). In a simple numerical task involving frequencies or percentages ( N = 20), their performance showed representation in frequencies facilitates the task.
Stability under influence of noise with regulated periodicity
2008
A very simple stochastic differential equation with quasi-periodical multiplicative noise is investigated analytically. For fixed noise intensity the system can be stable at high noise periodicity and unstable at low noise periodicity.
Dynamics of the Selkov oscillator.
2018
A classical example of a mathematical model for oscillations in a biological system is the Selkov oscillator, which is a simple description of glycolysis. It is a system of two ordinary differential equations which, when expressed in dimensionless variables, depends on two parameters. Surprisingly it appears that no complete rigorous analysis of the dynamics of this model has ever been given. In this paper several properties of the dynamics of solutions of the model are established. With a view to studying unbounded solutions a thorough analysis of the Poincar\'e compactification of the system is given. It is proved that for any values of the parameters there are solutions which tend to inf…

Palermo strana e meravigliosa. Lo sguardo inglese e la Golden Shell nella stampa periodica d'Ottocento
2013
Questo volume mette a fuoco le interconnessioni che durante il XIX secolo legano la scrittura odeporica inglese, la pubblicazione e la diffusione del periodico e la rappresentazione della città di Palermo. I resoconti di viaggio analizzati sono pubblicati su alcuni dei periodici britannici più popolari in un arco di tempo che va dal 1800 al 1900, periodo in cui la quasi totalità dei travelogue racconta un itinerario di cui Palermo rappresenta solamente una tappa e che prevedeva la visita dell’intera isola, iniziando e concludendo il percorso nella capitale, o Messina, e proseguendo l’itinerario passando per Alcamo, Calatafimi, Segesta, Erice, Enna, Calatnissetta, Canicattì, Girgenti (l’odie…

Distinctive amino acid residue periodicities in terminal sequences of type III and type I secreted proteins from proteobacteria
2007
AbstractThe Fourier transform (FT) method was applied to specify the distribution of 14 predefined groups of amino acids (64 residues) at both termini of annotated type III and type I secreted proteins from proteobacteria. Type I proteins displayed a higher occurrence of significant periodicities at both C-and N-termini, indicating potent features to discriminate between secretion types, particularly by the use of variables selected from the full periodicity profiles at 19 orders of FT. The Fishers linear discriminant analysis, together with the stepwise selection of variables throughout equal pairs of combinations for all predefined groups of residues, revealed the C-terminal harmonics of …

Evidence for a link between the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and annual asthma mortality rates in the US
2019
AbstractAn association between climatic conditions and asthma mortality has been widely assumed. However, it is unclear whether climatic variations have a fingerprint on asthma dynamics over long time intervals. The aim of this study is to detect a possible correlation between climatic indices, namely the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and asthma mortality rates over the period from 1950 to 2015 in the contiguous US. To this aim, an analysis of non-stationary and non-linear signals was performed on time series of US annual asthma mortality rates, AMO and PDO indices to search for characteristic periodicities. Results revealed that asthma death rates evalu…
