A 9-level three-phase multilevel converter with harmonic mitigation and integrated battery balancing
2019
In this paper, a 9 level three-phase multilevel converter with a harmonic mitigation control method and an integrated battery balancing algorithm for automotive purpose is proposed. Each level of the converter is composed by a buck-boost converter and an h-bridge in cascaded connection. The control algorithm is implemented to achieve the harmonic mitigation on the output voltage waveform and to maintain the battery input voltages balanced. The design and operation of the system is described, and simulation study is reported using Matlab/Simulink platform.
Discovery of benzimidazole-based Leishmania mexicana cysteine protease CPB2.8ΔCTE inhibitors as potential therapeutics for leishmaniasis
2018
Abstract: Chemotherapy is currently the only effective approach to treat all forms of leishmaniasis. However, its effectiveness is severely limited due to high toxicity, long treatment length, drug resistance, or inadequate mode of administration. As a consequence, there is a need to identify new molecular scaffolds and targets as potential therapeutics for the treatment of this disease. We report a small series of 1,2‐substituted‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazole derivatives (9ad) showing affinity in the submicromolar range (Ki = 0.150.69 μM) toward Leishmania mexicanaCPB2.8ΔCTE, one of the more promising targets for antileishmanial drug design. The compounds confirmed activity in vitro against intrace…

Screening sierologico per Leishmania infantum su donatori di sangue e HIV+ asintomatici residenti in area endemica [Serological screening for Leishma…
2008
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is endemic in Sicily (48 new cases in 2004, of which nine were in Agrigento). In southern Europe between 25-70 per cent of adult VL cases are related to HIV infection. The HIV cases have a high risk (1.5-9%) of developing VL either as a new infection or as the revival of a latent infection. We therefore carried out serologic screening to detect antibodies against L. infantum by IFAT in 1449 blood donors in Agrigento and the surrounding area (May-December 2005) and in 120 HIV+ in western Sicily, all of whom were asymptomatic and had no history of VL. L. DNA was assessed by nested PCR in blood samples of some seropositive donors. Of the 1449 blood donors, 11 (0.75%…
Serological screening for Leishmania infantum in asymptomatic blood donors living in an endemic area (Sicily, Italy)
2005
The purpose of our study was to assess whether Leishmania infantum parasitemia occurs in asymptomatic Leishmania-seropositive subjects. Samples from 500 blood donors were tested using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-Leishmania antibodies were not found in any sample. Our findings suggest that the risk of L. infantum transmission by blood transfusion in Sicily is very low.
Prefazione al volume Corpi e identità : Donne dal Subcontinente indiano all’Italia di K. Carnà e S. Rossetti
2021
The preface to the book 'Bodies and Identities' highlights some of the themes addressed by the authors - K. Carnà and S. Rossetti. Carnà and S. Rossetti. Ignazia Bartholini highlights how the theme of body care and facial embellishments is declined in different practices oriented by the culture of origin of the women interviewed. Bangladeshi women, Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan women who let us in on some of their secrets of beauty" but, above all, they allow us to share stories to share stories closely linked to rites of passage in which care and beauty are not just ends in themselves, but constitute forms of entry into the native culture.
La disciplina delle concessioni balneari e l’evaporazione del diritto liquido
2023
Nel contributo si riconsidera il complesso scenario creatosi a seguito degli ultimi sviluppi in materia di rinnovo delle concessioni demaniali marittime con finalità turistico-ricreative. Sintetizzati degli eventi più significativi che hanno interessato il settore, si riflette sul futuro della disciplina delle concessioni balneari alla luce dello scontro frontale tra gli obiettivi perseguiti dal legislatore nazionale e gli obblighi pro-concorrenziali di matrice europea promossi dalla giurisprudenza amministrativa. This contribution aims to provide some considerations on the complex scenario created as a result of the latest developments in the field of maritime state concessions for tourist…
