Sprouting and intussusceptive angiogenesis in postpneumonectomy lung growth: mechanisms of alveolar neovascularization

2013

In most rodents and some other mammals, the removal of one lung results in compensatory growth associated with dramatic angiogenesis and complete restoration of lung capacity. One pivotal mechanism in neoalveolarization is neovascularization, because without angiogenesis new alveoli can not be formed. The aim of this study is to image and analyze three-dimensionally the different patterns of neovascularization seen following pneumonectomy in mice on a sub-micron-scale. C57/BL6 mice underwent a left-sided pneumonectomy. Lungs were harvested at various timepoints after pneumonectomy. Volume analysis by microCT revealed a striking increase of 143 percent in the cardiac lobe 14 days after pneum…

Mapping cyclic stretch in the postpneumonectomy murine lung

2013

In many mammalian species, the removal of one lung [pneumonectomy (PNX)] is associated with the compensatory growth of the remaining lung. To investigate the hypothesis that parenchymal deformation may trigger lung regeneration, we used respiratory-gated micro-computed tomography scanning to create three-dimensional finite-element geometric models of the murine cardiac lobe with cyclic breathing. Models were constructed of respiratory-gated micro-computed tomography scans pre-PNX and 24 h post-PNX. The computational models demonstrated that the maximum stretch ratio map was patchy and heterogeneous, particularly in subpleural, juxta-diaphragmatic, and cephalad regions of the lobe. In these…

Regulatory Network Of Angiogenesis Gene Expression During Post-Pneumonectomy Compensatory Growth

Invasive and native populations of common ragweed exhibit strong tolerance to foliar damage.

2013

8 pages; International audience; Tolerance and resistance are defence strategies evolved by plants to cope with damage due to herbivores. The introduction of exotic species to a new biogeographical range may alter the plant herbivore interactions and induce selection pressures for new plant defence strategies with a modified resource allocation. To detect evolution in tolerance to herbivory in common ragweed, we compared 3 native (North America) and 3 introduced (France) populations, grown in a common garden environment. We explored the effect of leaf herbivory on plant vegetative and reproductive traits. Plants were defoliated by hand, simulating different degrees of insect grazing by remo…

La descrizione qualitativa e quantitativa dei popolamenti nella redazione del Piano di Gestione della Foresta di Vallombrosa

2009

Survey and qualitative description of forest for the Vallombrosa management plan Some short notes with regards to the Vallombrosa forest management plan survey. The new systemic approach to the silviculture needs mainly an accurate description of the stands. The management is based on cultivation partition, where the selection cuttings will be aimed to the renaturalisation of plantation. The survey has been carried out in order to describe in a very detailed way the dynamics of stands natural evolution. Fixed plots have been established in order to monitor the feedback of the forest to the human guide.

Il valore della comparazione diacronica nel diritto processuale penale

2022

Lo scritto mira ad approfondire l’importanza della comparazione diacronica (o storica) nel diritto processuale penale. In tal senso, esso si propone di analizzare il valore di tale comparazione giuridica non solo a fini preminentemente scientifici, ossia per studiosi e ricercatori, ma anche a scopi prettamente pratici, id est a beneficio del legislatore e degli operatori del diritto. In particolare, l’Autore intende esaminare la significativa rilevanza dell’esperienza storica dell’Inquisizione per individuare e meglio comprendere l’attuale configurazione e le prospettive evolutive della procedura penale italiana, nonché dei suoi istituti e connotati fondamentali.

A BoD Composite Indicator to Measure the Italian “Sole 24 Ore” Quality of Life

2023

The measure of Quality of Life (QoL) is still a topic widely discussed in literature. In Italy, the newspaper “Il Sole 24 Ore” publishes a famous ranking that highlights strong disparities among provinces. In this paper, “Il Sole 24 Ore” and BoD-DEA methods are compared in order to show how different types of normaliza- tion and aggregation significantly influence the results making these rankings very fragile and questionable.

Facing natural disasters through the endorsement of authoritarian attitudes

2020

Abstract We analyzed the relations between exposure to news describing a natural disaster and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) with 241 Italian adults, surveyed twice, before and after a severe earthquake. Our results were compatible with the idea that the exposure to earthquake news led to an increase in RWA among people who had low, but not among who had relatively high, authoritarian levels before the event. We discuss the findings in terms of compensatory control, and highlight strengths and limitations of the study.

Societal Threat to Safety, Compensatory Control, and Right-Wing Authoritarianism

2014

We analyzed directly and indirectly the relationships between societal threat to safety, perceived control, and the increase in right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) in two studies. In Study 1 (national sample of the Italian population, N=1,169), we performed a longitudinal analysis structured into three waves (January 2003, September 2004, and January 2005). A moderated regression analysis showed that RWA increased from 2003 to 2005 as a function of perceived societal threat to safety more among low- than among high RWA scorers. In experimental Study 2 (Italian university students, N=131) a moderated mediation model showed loss of perceived control to mediate the relation between societal thre…
