The Law of Service Robots
2014
Il settore della robotica attiene alla progettazione e costruzione di un complesso variegato ed eterogeneo di macchine, quali robot, soldati e chirurghi, sistemi automatizzati di trasporto aereo, terrestre e marittimo, applicazioni industriali nell’ambito manifatturiero o nella agricoltura, robotica di servizio e altro ancora. Si tratta di un settore per eccellenza interdisciplinare la varietà di ambiti e applicazioni del quale fa sì che si discuta ancora sulla definizione di robot e su alcune sue proprietà: l’autonomia, l’adattatività o i gradi di interattività. Su queste basi, il problema, attualmente, non è tanto quello di determinare se e in che modo i robot ”agiscano”; la questione ver…
Protective, antioxidant and antiproliferative activity of grapefruit integropectin on sh-sy5y cells
2021
Tested in vitro on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, grapefruit IntegroPectin is a powerful protective, antioxidant and antiproliferative agent. The strong antioxidant properties of this new citrus pectin, and its ability to preserve mitochondrial membrane potential and morphology, severely impaired in neurodegenerative disorders, make it an attractive therapeutic and preventive agent for the treatment of oxidative stress-associated brain disorders. Similarly, the ability of this pectic polymer rich in RG-I regions, as well as in naringin, linalool, linalool oxide and limonene adsorbed at the outer surface, to inhibit cell proliferation or even kill, at high doses, neoplastic cells may have open…
Coptis chinensis Franch. exhibits neuroprotective properties against oxidative stress in human neuroblastoma cells.
2014
Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance The dried rhizome of Coptis chinensis Franch. (family Ranunculaceae ) is traditionally used in Chinese medicine for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and diabetes. Recent studies showed a variety of activities of Coptis chinensis Franch. alkaloids, including neuroprotective, neuroregenerative, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. However, there is no report on the neuroprotective effect of Coptis chinensis Franch. watery extract against tert -butylhydroperoxide ( t -BOOH) induced oxidative damage. The aim of the study is to investigate neuroprotective properties of Coptis chinensis Franch. rhizome watery extract (CRE) and …
SISTEMI DI CORONAMENTO E SMALTIMENTO DELLE ACQUE METEORICHE : LA REGOLA DELL'ARTE DAI TRATTATI AI MANUALI
2018
Il saggio approfondisce gli aspetti storici e costruttivi dei cornicioni che, da elementi di protezione, possono divenire, a causa della propria forma, talvolta anche elementi di degrado e dissesto. La struttura del testo del presente volume si compone di tre parti principali, presentando alcuni aspetti tecnici e questioni di non comune attenzione. La prima parte analizza una disamina sui valori formali e materiali del cornicione; esso presenta, infatti, caratteri complessi e riassume, proprio per la doppia valenza di ornamento (coronamento dell’edificio) e componente funzionale (sistema di allontanamento delle acque meteoriche dalla facciata) le problematiche che derivano da esigenze forma…
Development of a process for the treatment of synthetic wastewater without energy inputs using the salinity gradient of wastewaters and a reverse ele…
2019
Abstract Electrochemical processes are considered very effective methods for the treatment of wastewater contaminated by organics resistant to conventional biological processes and various inorganic pollutants. Large sites that treat wastewaters usually deal with a large number of waters often characterized by different salinity contents, that could be potentially used to provide the energy necessary for the electrochemical remediation. Hence, in this work a reverse electrodialysis (RED) process for the treatment of synthetic wastewaters contaminated by organics, without energy inputs, using the salinity gradient of different wastewaters, was studied, for the first time. It was found that t…
The Image Gently in Dentistry campaign: promotion of responsible use of maxillofacial radiology in dentistry for children
2014
© 2014 Published by Elsevier Inc. The Image Gently in Dentistry campaign to be launched in September 2014 is a specific initiative of the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging, supported by organized dentistry and dental education as well as many dental specialty organizations. The objective of the campaign is to change practice by increasing awareness of the opportunities to improve radiation protection when imaging children in dental practices. Six practical steps are provided that underline the principle that one size does not fit all, especially when it comes to using radiography during pediatric dental procedures. When we image children, let us image gently: More is often …
Ethics appraisal procedure in 79,670 Marie Skłodowska-Curie proposals from the entire European HORIZON 2020 research and innovation program (2014–202…
2021
Introduction Horizon 2020 was the most significant EU Research and Innovation programme ever implemented and included the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). Proposals submitted to the MSCA actions awere subject to the Ethics Appraisal Procedure. In this work we explored the ethics appraisal procedure in MSCA H2020. Methods Using a retrospective analysis of pooled anonymized data, we explored the ethics appraisal procedure on proposals submitted to Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) during the entire Horizon 2020 program period (N = 79,670). Results Our results showed that one of the most frequently identified ethics categories was Data protection. We also detected slight differences…
Entanglement robustness via spatial deformation of identical particle wave functions
2021
We address the problem of entanglement protection against surrounding noise by a procedure suitably exploiting spatial indistinguishability of identical subsystems. To this purpose, we take two initially separated and entangled identical qubits interacting with two independent noisy environments. Three typical models of environments are considered: amplitude damping channel, phase damping channel and depolarizing channel. After the interaction, we deform the wave functions of the two qubits to make them spatially overlap before performing spatially localized operations and classical communication (sLOCC) and eventually computing the entanglement of the resulting state. This way, we show tha…
European Collective Mark
2014
Previous chapters of Part II dealt with the protection of IGOs at the EU level, i.e. IGOs as unitary rights, through the direct protection system. However, protection of IGOs at the EU level may be ensured not only through the direct protection system, but also through trade mark protection system, namely, through protection as a Community collective mark. That protection is ensured by the Codifying Community Trade Mark Regulation, namely Title VIII containing Arts. 66–74 (previously—Arts. 64–72 of the Community Trade Mark Regulation). From the point of view of the territorial scope, Community collective mark differs from national collective marks of EU Member States. Generally trade mark l…
Confidencialidad y protección de datos en la mediación en la Unión Europea
2018
La mediación, su confidencialidad y la protección de datos son muy importantes en el siglo XXI y objeto autónomo de muchos estudios. No obstante, en raras ocasiones se analiza la conjunción de estos elementos y las muchas exigencias jurídicas que se derivan. Se efectúan propuestas de mejora en la normativa y en los marcos contractuales de la mediación. Primero, el estudio analiza la confidencialidad y su interactuación con la protección de datos. Se analizan los sujetos obligados, el alcance de las obligaciones, su duración y garantías así como, finalmente las excepciones y restricciones a la confidencialidad. La segunda aproximación se hace desde la protección de datos, pues toda mediación…
