Towards a long-term dataset of ELBARA-II measurements assisting SMOS level-3 land product and algorithm validation at the Valencia Anchor Station

2015

[EN] The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission was launched on 2nd November 2009 with the objective of providing global estimations of soil moisture and sea salinity. The main activity of the Valencia Anchor Station (VAS) is currently to assist in a long-term validation of SMOS land products. This study focus on a level 3 SMOS data validation with in situ measurements carried out in the period 2010-2012 over the VAS. ELBARA-II radiometer is placed in the VAS area, observing a vineyard field considered as representative of a major proportion of an area of 50×50 km, enough to cover a SMOS footprint. Brightness temperatures (TB) acquired by ELBARA-II have been compared to those obser…

Danger zone analysis using cone beam computed tomography after apical enlargement with K3 and K3XF in a manikin model

2015

Background The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare how apical enlargement with K3 and K3XF nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments reduces the root thickness in the danger zone and affects canal transportation and centering ability in mandibular molar mesial canals in a manikin extracted tooth model. Material and Methods Seventy-two mesial root canals of first mandibular molars were instrumented. Initial and post-instrumentation Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans were performed after root canal preparation up to size 25, 30, 35 and 40 files. Canal transportation, canal centering and remaining root dentin thickness toward the danger zone were calculated in sections 1, 2 and…

ANALISI DI SICUREZZA DI SISTEMI DELL’IMPIANTO SPES

2014

Il progetto SPES prevede il bombardamento di un bersaglio in carburo di uranio con un fascio di protoni, in modo da generare, tramite reazione nucleare, specie radioattive all’interno del target. Le particelle radioattive generate vengono successivamente estratte, ionizzate, separate in massa ed accelerate come fascio di ioni radioattivo. Il presente lavoro di tesi ha riguardato lo studio di sicurezza di alcune unità dell'impianto SPES e si inserisce nell'ambito di una collaborazione di ricerca tra i Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro ed il Dipartimento dell'Energia, sezione Nucleare, dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo. Tale attività ha comportato l'analisi sui componenti del sistema di pr…

Association of dietary patterns with insulin resistance and clinically silent carotid atherosclerosis in apparently healthy people

2013

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:Dietary habits are important determinants of individual cardiovascular and metabolic risk. This study investigated the association between dietary patterns and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis, defined as the presence of plaques and/or increased intima-media thickness, and metabolic biomarkers of insulin resistance, including the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the trygliceride/high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (Tg/HDL) ratio in a cohort of adults without known diabetes or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.SUBJECTS/METHODS:Nine hundred and twenty-nine randomly selected participants were cross-sectionally investigated. …

Low relative resting metabolic rate and body weight gain in adult Caucasian Italians

2005

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between resting metabolic rate (RMR) and subsequent changes in body size and degree of fatness in a group of adult Caucasian Italians. DESIGN: Prospective, longitudinal, observational study. SUBJECTS: In total, 155 subjects (72 males and 83 females, age range: 18–55 y; BMI: 17.5–63.4 kg/m2) were evaluated. In total, 43 (26 m and 17 f; BMI: 28.971.1 kg/m2, mean7s.e.m.) of them were reassessed 10–12 y later. MEASUREMENTS: Anthropometric and body composition (bioimpedance analysis) parameters and RMR (indirect calorimetry) were taken at baseline and after 10–12 y. RESULTS: Subjects (15 m, 8 f) who gained body weight (arbitrarily defined as a change in…

Intra-renal hemodynamics and carotid intima-media thickness in the metabolic syndrome.

2009

Aims: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. We hypothesize that early vascular changes are already present at the time of diagnosis of MetS. The relationship of different measures of early vascular impairment with body fat distribution and the natural progression of MetS was examined in newly diagnosed subjects non-pharmacologically treated. Methods: 246 consecutively enrolled subjects were categorized according to the presence of MetS and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Intra-renal Doppler flow was used to ascertain resistive (RI) and pulsatility (PI) indices as markers of vascular resistance. Carotid intima-media thick- ness (IMT), cutis-rectis (CR) and rectis…

El Pla de Dinamització i Governança Turística de La Safor (Valencia) : una bona oportunitat practica per al desenvolupament territorial

2020

Resum. El Pla de Governança i Dinamització Turística (PGDT) de La Safor (Valencia) pretenia impulsar les línies de treball al voltant del sector turístic que es venien desenvolupant anteriorment en els diferents municipis de la comarca, per a dotar d'una visió territorial comarcal a l'estratègia turística de la zona, consensuant les línies de treball i les actuacions no solament amb altres administracions locals, sinó també amb actors del sector privat i associacions relacionades amb el sector turístic. El Pla també estava centrat en la detecció de recursos amb potencial turístic que estiguessin infrautilitzats o fossin susceptibles de ser posats en valor, prestant especial atenció a entorn…

METAMORPHIC EVOLUTION OF SPESSARTINE QUARTZITES (COTICULES) IN THE HIGH-PRESSURE, LOW-TEMPERATURE COMPLEX AT BAHIA MANSA, COASTAL CORDILLERA OF SOUTH…

2001

Lenses of spessartine quartzites (coticules) are associated with greenschist intercalations in coastal exposures at Bahia Mansa within the mainly metapsammopelitic Western Series, which forms most of the basement in the Coastal Cordillera of central to southern Chile. The chemical compositions of the coticules can be explained by protoliths formed from ferriferous and manganiferous hydrothermal precipitates mixed with aluminous alteration-derived material on top of oceanic crust. The peak conditions of metamorphism were calculated with multivariant reactions: 270–370 °C, 6–8 kbar. A retrograde P–T evolution was marked by decompression to 2 kbar during cooling below 300°C, influx of an exter…

L’autonomia di spesa delle Regioni fra Stato ed Unione europea dalla l. cost. 3/2001 alle condizionalità europee sulla ripresa e la resilienza

2021

L'articolo ricostruisce la tendenza all’accentramento nel governo delle finanze pubbliche e l’eccessiva distanza fra testo costituzionale e diritto costituzionale vivente per analizzare l'attuazione del Recovery Plan (PNRR) rilevando un ulteriore tendenza all’accentramento del governo della spesa. Si indagano dunque le ragioni della compressione dell’autonomia finanziaria di spesa per effetto del principio di indifferenza e del “doppio intreccio federale”. Si mira a inquadrare il tema alla luce della leale collaborazione e dellala resilienza istituzionale per accorciare la “distanza” fra testo costituzionale ed attuazione costituzionale in tema di autonomia di spesa delle Regioni. Si prospe…
