Apprentissage automatique de réseaux d'interaction à partir de données de séquences de nouvelle génération
2022
Climate change and other human-induced processes are modifying ecosystems, globally, at an ever increasing rate. Microbial communities play an important role in the functioning ecosystems, maintaining their diversity and services. These communities are shaped by the different abiotic environmental effects to which they are subjected and the biotic interactions between all community members. The ANR Next-Generation Biomonitoring (NGB) project proposed to reconstruct interaction networks from abundance measures obtained sequencing environmental DNA (eDNA) and to use these networks to monitor ecosystem change. In this thesis, conducted as part of the NGB project, I evaluate the potential of tw…
Ricerche in tema di società questuarie
2019
Intorno al regime delle società di tipo questuario – riconducibili agli schemi teorici della societas universorum quae ex quaestu veniunt – e delle società unius alicuius negotiationis e unius rei, si profusero gli sforzi interpretativi dei giuristi romani, fin dalla fine dell’età repubblicana. La monografia scientifica ripercorre le tracce della individuazione della nozione stessa di quaestus (guadagno), con particolare riferimento alla inclusione al suo interno delle donazioni cd. remuneratorie; ancora, ricostruisce il dibattito giurisprudenziale sorto intorno alla questione se i soci – nella determinazione delle quote – dovessero rispettare una proporzione rispetto ai conferimenti, con u…
PLS-UV spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in pharmaceutical formulations
1997
A simple and fast analytical procedure is proposed for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in pharmaceuticals by means the partial least square treatment of the spectrophotometric absorbance data between 216 and 300 nm, taken at 5 nm intervals. The method involves the use of 8 standard mixtures of the three compounds assayed, considered at two concentration levels, and the measurement of the absorbance of samples in a 20% (v/v) ethanol in water solution previously filtered. In the analysis of real and synthetic samples precise and accurate values were obtained by the aforementioned procedure, providing in all cases variation coefficients and accu…
Improving Dissolution Behavior and Oral Absorption of Drugs with pH-Dependent Solubility Using pH Modifiers: A Physiologically Realistic Mass Transpo…
2021
Orally dosed drugs must dissolve in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract before being absorbed through the epithelial cell membrane. In vivo drug dissolution depends on the GI tract's physiological conditions such as pH, residence time, luminal buffers, intestinal motility, and transit and drug properties under fed and fasting conditions (Paixao, P. et al. Mol. Pharm. 2018 and Bermejo, et al. M. Mol. Pharm. 2018). The dissolution of an ionizable drug may benefit from manipulating in vivo variables such as the environmental pH using pH-modifying agents incorporated into the dosage form. A successful example is the use of such agents for dissolution enhancement of BCS class IIb (high-permeability,…
Viscosity-mediated negative food effect on oral absorption of poorly-permeable drugs with an absorption window in the proximal intestine: In vitro ex…
2014
Concomitant food intake can diminish oral absorption of drugs with limited permeability and an absorption window in the proximal intestine, due to viscosity-mediated decrease in dosage form disintegration time and drug dissolution rate. Three poorly-permeable drugs (atenolol, metformin hydrochloride, and furosemide) exhibiting negative food effect, and one highly-soluble and highly-permeable (metoprolol tartrate), serving as a negative control, were selected for the study. In vitro and in silico tools were used to evaluate the influence of media viscosity on drug bioperformance under fasted and fed conditions. The obtained results demonstrated that increased medium viscosity in the presence…
Digital resources in senegalese hight education : state of play and prospective study
2014
It is in the context of poverty or information exclusion that the massive dissemination of information and technology tools in Senegalese academic libraries responds to an urgent need for transformation and improvement of operational modes as well as modernization of services for different audiences, in particular students. Currently, in almost all academic and research libraries of Senegal digitization activities that crossed the rise of the Internet are being developed. This has created a real increasing effect of digital resources, by the establishment of means of creation and by expansion of access and of sharing of scientific and technical information in higher education institutions. …
Between Interactions and Aggregates: The PolyQ Balance
2021
Abstract Polyglutamine regions (polyQ) are highly abundant consecutive runs of glutamine residues. They have been generally studied in relation to the so-called polyQ-associated diseases, characterized by protein aggregation caused by the expansion of the polyglutamine tract via a CAG-slippage mechanism. However, more than 4800 human proteins contain a polyQ, and only 9 of these regions are known to be associated with disease. Computational sequence studies and experimental structure determinations are completing a more interesting picture in which polyQ emerge as a motif for modulation of protein-protein interactions. But long polyQ regions may lead to an excess of interactions, and produc…
Optimised procedures for the reversed-phase liquid chromatographic analysis of formulations containing tricyclic antidepressants.
2003
The chromatographic behaviour (retention, selectivity, peak shape and resolution) of seven tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), amitryptiline, clomipramine, doxepin, imipramine, maprotiline, nortryptiline and trimipramine, was examined. Conventional unendcapped Cs and C18 columns and an endcapped XTerra MS C18 column recommended for the analysis of basic compounds were used together with acetonitrile-water and micellar sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)-pentanol mobile phases. The two best combinations were XTerra C18/acetonitrile, which yielded the largest efficiencies and resolution, and C8/SDS-pentanol, which eliminated the peak tails that were still observed with the XTerra C18 column. Both the s…
Atteone in contesto. Il mito, l'acqua e riti di transizione femminili nella Sicilia greca
2020
The study considers some representations of the myth of Actaeon in Sicily, that draw a clear geography of the mythic theme in the island, in close connection with water and female transition rites. In particular, it focuses on some louteria from Selinus and Agrigento (from the Sanctuary of chthonic deities), that report this subject, and a lekanis rim from Himera, coming from a supposed sacred area within the residential area, where rites of passage were performed. The only other evidence of the theme in the island consists in a fragment of Attic krater from a Geloan tomb, apart from the well known metope of Selinus. The recontextualization of the evidence allows us to understand better the…
Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Triphala Constituents and Nanoformulation
2020
The prevalence of nosocomial infections due to multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Folk medicine and ethnopharmacological data can provide a broad range of plants with promising antimicrobial activity. Triphala, an Ayurvedic formula composed of three different plants: Terminalia chebula Retz., Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. (Combretaceae), and Phyllanthus emblica L. (Phyllanthaceae), is used widely for various microbial infections. Various extraction techniques were applied in the extraction of the biologically active constituents of Triphala in order to compare their efficiency. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was shown to …
