Il baculo pastorale “gaginesco” di Paolo Gili per il monastero normanno di San Michele Arcangelo a Mazara del Vallo
2019
Il saggio analizza un baculo pastorale in argento realizzato da Paolo Gili, argentiere palermitano, nella prima metà del XVI secolo, che presenta elenenti tardo-gotici e rinascimentali, proveniente dal monastero benedettino intitolato a San Michele Arcangelo di Mazara del Vallo The essay analyzes an abbatial crozier in silver made by Paolo Gili, silversmith from Palermo, in the first half of the sixteenth century, which presents late-Gothic and Renaissance lists, from the Benedictine monastery dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel of Mazara del Vallo
Desiderius Erasmus Rotterdamilaisen käsitys klassisen latinan ääntämisestä
2007
Desiderius Erasmus Rotterdamilainen (1469-1536) oli renessanssin humanisti, jolla oli laaja kirjallinen tuotanto. Koulutukseltaan hän oli teologian tohtori. Hänen äidinkielensä oli hollanti, mutta hän laati kaikki teoksensa latinaksi. Hän julkaisi vuonna 1528 Baselissa dialogin latinan ja kreikan kielten ääntämisestä, De recta Latini Graecique sermonis pronuntiatione dialogus (DRP), josta otettiin ilmestymisensä jälkeen useita painoksia eri puolilla Eurooppaa 1700-luvun alkuun asti. Erasmuksen aikaan latina oli Euroopan oppineiden yhteinen kirkon, tieteen ja diplomatian kieli. Puhuttu latina kukoisti klerikaaliyhteisöissä, mutta klassisten esikuvien ihannointi oli jo levinnyt Euroopassa laa…
Clinical significance of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in chronic HBV carriers
1992
PCR was evaluated as a clinical tool for use in accurate identification of the specific etiologic agent in chronic HBV carriers. The method was found to be valuable in diagnosis and for monitoring therapy, as well as for elucidation of genotypic variants of HBV in chronic HBV cases. By this means an HBV defective variant with alterations in the preSl/preS2 sequence was detected and is consequently described here.
EOF-Library: Open-source Elmer FEM and OpenFOAM coupler for electromagnetics and fluid dynamics
2019
EOF-Library is a software that couples Elmer and OpenFOAM simulation packages. It enables efficient internal field interpolation and communication between the finite element and the finite volume frameworks. The coupling of the two packages is based on the Message Passing Interface, which results in low latency, high data bandwidth and parallel scalability. Potential applications are magnetohydrodynamics, convective cooling of electrical devices, industrial plasma physics and microwave heating. In this work we introduce the software and perform interpolation accuracy and parallel scaling tests by sending a known scalar distribution between the two codes. Keywords: Elmer, FEM, OpenFOAM, FVM,…
Rewriting Romance in the Second Half of 20th Century in Italy
2013
Many authors in the last century offer us the possibility to look at romance through their rewriting of Italian tradition, but they also offer the possibility to look at rewriting through romance. A systematic examination of every single work would need an article itself. Here the focus is rather on the phenomenon and its implications with tradition and its transformations; and on the intellectual context where they take place. Despite the very core of the poetics of rewriting can be located between the Sixties and the Eighties, these palimpsests go further, into the Nineties. From Calvino, Manganelli and Sanguineti, to Celati, Bufalino and Santagata, we are able to look at different declen…
A One-Step PCR-Based Assay to Evaluate the Efficiency and Precision of Genomic DNA-Editing Tools
2017
Despite rapid progress, many problems and limitations persist and limit the applicability of gene-editing techniques. Making use of meganucleases, TALENs, or CRISPR/Cas9-based tools requires an initial step of pre-screening to determine the efficiency and specificity of the designed tools. This step remains time consuming and material consuming. Here we propose a simple, cheap, reliable, time-saving, and highly sensitive method to evaluate a given gene-editing tool based on its capacity to induce chromosomal translocations when combined with a reference engineered nuclease. In the proposed technique, designated engineered nuclease-induced translocations (ENIT), a plasmid coding for the DNA-…

Candida spp. Determination and Th1/Th2 Mixed Cytokine Profile in Oral Samples From HIV+ Patients With Chronic Periodontitis
2019
Background: Chronic periodontitis (CP), caused by bacteria and fungi, appears in up to 66% of HIV-patients. The impact and association of HIV-treatment (HAART) and Candida itself has not been properly evaluated in the development and progression of CP. The immunopathogenesis is characterized by CD4+ T-cells activation and the balance between the T-helper 1 (Th1) and T-helper 2 (Th2) or a mixed cytokine profile. Currently, the associated causes of an immune response in HIV-patients with CP is controversial. Our aims were the determination of Candida spp. and cytokine profile in oral samples from HIV-positive patients with CP, considering the CD4+ T cells levels and HAART use.Methods: From 50…
Mung Bean nuclease mapping of RNAs 3' end
2009
Abstract A method is described that allows an accurate mapping of 3' ends of RNAs. In this method a labeled DNA probe, containing the presumed 3' end of the RNA under analysis is allowed to anneals to the RNA itself. Mung-bean nuclease is then used to digest single strands of both RNA and DNA. Electrophoretic fractionation of "protected" undigested, labeled DNA is than performed using a sequence reaction of a known DNA as length marker. This procedure was applied to the analysis of both a polyA RNA (Interleukin 10 mRNA) and non polyA RNAs (sea urchin 18S and 26S rRNAs). This method might be potentially relevant for the evaluation of the role of posttrascriptional control of IL-10 in the pat…
Immunological Monitoring to Rationally Guide AAV Gene Therapy
2013
Recent successes with adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies fuel the hope for new treatments for hereditary diseases. Pre-existing as well as therapy-induced immune responses against both AAV and the encoded transgenes have been described and may impact on safety and efficacy of gene-therapy approaches. Consequently, monitoring of vector- and transgene-specific immunity is mandated and may rationally guide clinical development. Next to the humoral immune response, the cellular response is central in our understanding of the host reaction in gene therapy. But in contrast to the monitoring of antibodies, which has matured over many decades, sensitive and robust monitoring of T cel…
