COVID-19 Vaccine-Related Thrombosis: A Systematic Review and Exploratory Analysis
2021
IntroductionThe World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on March 11, 2020. Two vaccine types were developed using two different technologies: viral vectors and mRNA. Thrombosis is one of the most severe and atypical adverse effects of vaccines. This study aimed to analyze published cases of thrombosis after COVID-19 vaccinations to identify patients’ features, potential pathophysiological mechanisms, timing of appearance of the adverse events, and other critical issues.Materials and MethodsWe performed a systematic electronic search of scientific articles regarding COVID-19 vaccine-related thrombosis and its complications on the PubMed (MEDLINE) d…
Lithostratigraphy of Sicily
2018
This book offers as comprehensive an overview as possible of the lithostratigraphy of the Italian region of Sicily, taking into account the multiplicity of formational and terminological variability developed over more than a century of studies and publications. It presents stratigraphic terminology, the geological lexicon and the main stratigraphic subdivisions that are not familiar to Sicilian geologists. The new stratigraphic methods and the use of formations as mapping units have prompted the acquisition of new lithostratigraphic data, and a review of the previous units and their comparison with the new collected data, enabling the definition of a number of new lithostratigraphic units.…
COMPORTAMENTO CICLICO DI PANNELLI SOTTILI IN ACCIAIO
2013
abstractita La memoria riporta i risultati di indagini sperimentali su pareti sottili in acciaio sottoposte ad azioni cicliche, ponendo in risalto le capacità dissipative. Le prove sono state condotte presso il laboratorio DISMAT di Canicattì (AG)su modelli in scala 1:2. I risultati evidenziano le riserve di resistenza dei pannelli in fase post critica. Results of experimental tests on Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) placed in steel frames subjected to cyclic actions are presented, stressing the dissipative capacity of the system. The tests were performed at the DISMAT laboratory in Canicattì (AG) on scale specimens. The surrounding frame is made by HEA 160 beam and columns with pinned joint,…

Contaminations
2010
Nel testo si cerca di collegare la tradizionale tipologia teatrale del “teatro all’italiana” alle scenografie “non tradizionali”: un tema di ricerca che guarda con interesse alle innovazioni e alle contaminazioni tra l’architettura e le altre discipline. Gli allestimenti presi in esame sono campionature di opere considerate significative nel sostenere l’ipotesi di un nuovo modo di fare teatro; si pone l’attenzione a due diversi modi di porsi all’interno di un teatro così detto tradizionale: - DENTRO IL TEATRO: riflessione sul rapporto pubblico/attori all’interno dello spazio teatrale; - DENTRO E FUORI IL TEATRO: relazione tra due spazi diversi: teatro e città.
Energy and environmental benefits of circular economy strategies: The case study of reusing used batteries from electric vehicles
2019
Abstract According to recent literature and technical analyses, used batteries from electric vehicles can still be used, before the final treatment at the end-of-life, in stationary applications that are usually less stressing than the automotive ones. In this framework, a circular economy inspired pathway is emerging between the building and the transportation sector, generally called “second life” of batteries. Used batteries from electric vehicles can be re-used in residential buildings together with renewable electricity generation technologies to improve the matching between the highly variable electricity generation from renewables and the electricity demand in buildings. This study a…
Effect of graphene nanoplatelets on the photo-oxidative behavior of PP based nanocomposites
2018
The photo-oxidation behavior of polymer nanocomposites depends not only on the photo-oxidation behavior of the matrix, but also on the chemical composition and on the physical properties of the nanoparticles and on the possible interactions between the two phases. Graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) are short stacks of individual layers of graphite that, even at low contents, strongly affects many properties of the thermoplastic matrix. Indeed, by GnP adding, also at low filler concentration (< 5 wt.%), the mechanical, heat-resistance, thermal and electrical properties of the polymer matrix can be surprisingly modified. Of course, the effects of these nanoparticles on the properties of the poly…
Polypropylene/graphene nanoplatelets nanocomposites subjected to elongational flow
2018
In this work the effect of the presence of graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) on the morphology and mechanical properties of polypropylene/GnP nanocomposites has been investigated when these polymer systems are subjected to non-isothermal elongational flow in a melt spinning operation. The presence of the GnP magnifies the effect of the elongational flow. Indeed, the elastic modulus and the tensile strength increases with the orientation more than that observed for the pure matrix.
Photo-oxidative behavior of PP/GnP nanocomposites
2018
In this work the photo-oxidative behavior of neat polypropylene (PP) and PP based nanocomposites incorporating graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) was studied. In particular, the influence of the amount of incorporated GnP was evaluated. The photo-oxidation has been followed by monitoring the change of the rheological, mechanical and spectroscopic properties upon artificial exposure to UV-B light. The results revealed that the presence of GnP reduced the rate of photooxidation of the PP matrix and, in the investigated composition range, the photo-stabilizing action improved with increasing the GnP content.
