Large- and small-mammal distribution patterns and chronostratigraphic boundaries from the Late Pliocene to the Middle Pleistocene of the Italian peni…

2007

Abstract Over the last 50 years the studies on terrestrial mammals of the Italian peninsula have provided a large volume of data and a more detailed knowledge of faunal events during the Late Pliocene and Quaternary. Moreover geological, sedimentological, palynological and magnetostratigraphical investigations on the Pliocene–Pleistocene continental sedimentary basins have yielded the possibility of a detailed calibration of the faunal successions. Thus, palaeontologists have been able to reconstruct faunal sequences and to propose biochronological scales based on large and small mammals, respectively. In the present contribution an integration of the two biochronological scales is proposed…

Information systems for the conservation and fruition of cultura heritage. The church of Santa Trinità di Delia

2016

Lo studio descrive il processo di conoscenza avviato su uno degli esempi monumentali più rappresentativi dell’architettura normanna della prima metà del XII sec. in Sicilia: la chiesa della Trinità di Delia a Castelvetrano (TP). Le fasi del rilievo e della rappresentazione 3D degli elementi costruttivi e decorativi seguono un approccio parametrico costituendo un sistema informativo implementabile di supporto per successivi interventi di restauro conservativo della struttura. Il workflow è struturato in modo tale da impiegare tecnologie hardware / software low-cost, descrivendo metodiche procedurali di elaborazione dati trasferibili all’attività professionale. The study describes the knowled…

How to develop strategies of adaptation to climate change based on a foresight exercise?

2019

Context and purpose of the study ‐ Prospective studies raise a real intellectual interest for those who contribute to them or take cognizance of it. But they are often considered too difficult to operationalize, and most of the prospective exercises are not followed by action plans, particularly at value chain level. To overcome this difficulty in linking the work of experts and the decisions of stakeholder of value chains, a particular effort was made to operationalize the outcomes from a prospective study on the French vine and wine industry in the context of climate change. The approach consisted in collecting and using the feed‐back of professionalsfrom the wine industry about these out…

Musical video clips on YouTube as a learning tool. Practical example in university teaching

2019

Se presenta una actividad docente en un entorno universitario mediante el análisis de conceptos de la Geografía Económica a través del visionado de videoclips musicales integrados en la plataforma YouTube. El alumnado (N=33) trabaja de manera grupal y colaborativamente, en sesiones presenciales y sesiones tutorizadas, seleccionando un grupo musical y una canción y analizando en profundidad la letra y las imágenes presentes en el vídeo, con el objeto de observar e intentar resolver problemáticas cotidianas. Son los propios estudiantes quienes califican la práctica. A través de un breve cuestionario los alumnos destacan la realización de un trabajo participativo, ameno, divertido y novedoso. …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance characterization of a hamartoma in an asyntomatic child

2009

Abstract Background The prevalence of primary cardiac neoplasms is approximately 0.3% and these masses should be distinguished from many of other primary and secondary processes that can occur in the heart. Further assessment of the left ventricular mass presents important clinical implications. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance was used. Clinical case An asyntomatic 12-year-old child was referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to further assess a left ventricular mass found after an echocardiography, executed for assessment for sport activity. His past medical history was absolutely negative. The patient was in optimal state of health. The EKG showed an aspecific ST elevatio…

Microsatellite Instability in Colorectal Cancer: Time to Stop Hiding!

2011

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Surgery constitutes the primary therapy for these tumors, together with chemotherapy that is usually recommended in patients with metastatic primary CRC. Although molecularly distinct entities arising from different physiopathogenic mechanisms - microsatellite (MSI) and chromosomal instability (also called microsatellite stable, MSS) - have been characterized in CRC, there is still no specific therapeutic approach that takes into account disease’s molecular heterogeneity [1]. MSI is observed in 1015% of sporadic CRCs. MSI CRCs displayed particular morphologic features, with greater predilection for the right colo…

Gingival calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor: case report and review of the literature comprising a period of 44 years

2011

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors are rare odontogenic neoplasms that account for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumors. The extraosseous variant is extremely rare, with only few cases being described in the literature. To our knowledge, only 22 cases have been reported over a period of 44 years. Therefore, the aim of this study was to present a critical literature review comprising the period from 1966 to 2010. In addition, we discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and subsequent treatment of a patient with a gingival calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor in the anterior mandible. This study shows that even though being an extremely rare neoplasm the gingival calcifyin…

Half-width plots, a simple tool to predict peak shape, reveal column kinetics and characterise chromatographic columns in liquid chromatography: Stat…

2013

Peak profiles in chromatography are characterised by their height, position, width and asymmetry; the two latter depend on the values of the left and right peak half-widths. Simple correlations have been found between the peak half-widths and the retention times. The representation of such correlations has been called half-width plots. For isocratic elution, the plots are parabolic, although often, the parabolas can be approximated to straight-lines. The plots can be obtained with the half-widths/retention time data for a set of solutes experiencing the same kinetics, eluted with a mobile phase at fixed or varying composition. When the analysed solutes experience different resistance to mas…
