Gli aspetti fiscali delle attività di rigenerazione e riuso di beni a fini di interesse generale.
2017
E’ possibile attribuire un riconoscimento, una legittimazione ed una regolamentazione giuridica all'opera prestata dai privati nell'attività di rigenerazione e riuso di beni di interesse comune? La leva fiscale può essere considerata come strumento per favorire lo sviluppo di queste attività? Alla prima domanda possiamo rispondere che il concetto, oggi in evoluzione, di sussidiarietà orizzontale, sembra essere lo strumento più idoneo per inquadrare giuridicamente le azioni di privati cittadini che volontariamente decidono di prendersi cura di beni comuni ai più diversi livelli (beni immobili o mobili concernenti il patrimonio artistico/culturale o, più in generale, fruibili da una collettiv…
Quantifizierung von Atelektasen bei kontrollierter Beatmung: Spiral-CT versus dynamische Einzelschicht-CT
2004
Ziel: Dynamische CT-Untersuchungen (dCT) erlauben die Darstellung und Quantifizierung ventilierter Lungenflache und Atelektasenbildung wahrend kontinuierlicher Beatmung. Diese Studie vergleicht eine quantitative Auswertung einer infrakarinalen dCT-Einzelschicht mit der einer Spiral-CT der gesamten Lunge, um zu untersuchen, ob eine dynamisch gemessene Einzelschicht bezuglich der intrapulmonalen Atelektasenverteilung reprasentativ fur die Gesamtlunge ist. Material und Methoden: An 8 gesunden Schweinen erfolgte eine dCT (Schichtdicke 1 mm, zeitliches Inkrement 100 ms) wahrend kontinuierlicher Beatmung, gefolgt von einer Spiral-CT der gesamten Lunge (Schichtdicke 2 mm; Pitch 1,5; Inkrement 2 m…
El uso de conchas marinas como soporte de útiles pulimentados: una pieza recuperada en Costamar (Castellón)
2013
[EN] The uniqueness of a polished tool discovered from the Neolithic levels of the prehistoric site of Costamar (Castellón, Spain) raised a detailed analysis both the nature of the support, which has been identified as a sea shell concerning the species Spondylus gaederopus, as well as traces of use preserved at the edge that allows us to define the tool as an adze.
Agri-urban patterns in Mediterranean urban regions: the case study of Pisa
2020
International audience; Urban regions require planning tools in order to manage agricultural areas under urban pressure. The aim of our paper is to test an analytical framework that combines both the composition in urban and agricultural land covers and their spatial configuration into four general agri-urban patterns: isolated fields, urban belt fields, periurban agricultural areas and rural areas. We evaluated the spatial distribution and the changes of such patterns in the short-term (2003-2011) starting from Spot images for the case study of Pisa, Italy. The results indicate an increase of the most urban patterns despite continuing to have cash crops, a stability of periurban agricultur…
On the origin of European sheep as revealed by the diversity of the Balkan breeds and by optimizing population-genetic analysis tools
2020
Background In the Neolithic, domestic sheep migrated into Europe and subsequently spread in westerly and northwesterly directions. Reconstruction of these migrations and subsequent genetic events requires a more detailed characterization of the current phylogeographic differentiation. Results We collected 50 K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profiles of Balkan sheep that are currently found near the major Neolithic point of entry into Europe, and combined these data with published genotypes from southwest-Asian, Mediterranean, central-European and north-European sheep and from Asian and European mouflons. We detected clines, ancestral components and admixture by using variants of commo…
Seamless integration of MetaEdit+ and eclipse to combine modeling and coding
2012
Tool integration tries to help users by automating processes in software development. In literature integration is mostly shown from technical point of view leaving user related issues outside. In this paper tool integration is looked also from the perspective of software engineering process and the user involved in the process. Another aspect will be integrating design models and code. A case of tool integration will be presented. The first tool is MetaEdit+ which is a Domain-Specific Modeling environment. The other tool is Eclipse which is used for traditional software engineering. The integration aims to combine the modeling and coding activities which together support metamodelers and m…
Metacognitive Awareness Teaching Tool Kit (MATTK). Reflective teaching for critical thinking and creativity development in classroom.
2016
Situation awareness has long been recognized as an important variable in teacher performance. Research to date has focused on identifying characteristics of situation awareness for individuals, not on the behaviors and processes associated with situation awareness. The purpose of this review is to delineate and identify characteristics of teacher metacognitive awareness. In addition, implications are discussed and research questions are outlined that target the measurement and training of situation awareness. The research has examined the positive correlation between the meta cognitive awareness of teachers and the development of two soft skills (critical thinking and creativity) in student…
Increase in gut microbiota after immune suppression in baculovirus-infected larvae.
2013
Spodoptera exigua microarray was used to determine genes differentially expressed in S. exigua cells challenged with the species-specific baculovirus SeMNPV as well as with a generalist baculovirus, AcMNPV. Microarray results revealed that, in contrast to the host transcriptional shut-off that is expected during baculovirus infection, S. exigua cells showed a balanced number of up- and down-regulated genes during the first 36 hours following the infection. Many immune-related genes, including pattern recognition proteins, genes involved in signalling and immune pathways as well as immune effectors and genes coding for proteins involved in the melanization cascade were found to be down-regul…
Analyzing Illumina Gene Expression Microarray Data from Different Tissues: Methodological Aspects of Data Analysis in the MetaXpress Consortium
2012
Microarray profiling of gene expression is widely applied in molecular biology and functional genomics. Experimental and technical variations make meta-analysis of different studies challenging. In a total of 3358 samples, all from German population-based cohorts, we investigated the effect of data preprocessing and the variability due to sample processing in whole blood cell and blood monocyte gene expression data, measured on the Illumina HumanHT-12 v3 BeadChip array. Gene expression signal intensities were similar after applying the log(2) or the variance-stabilizing transformation. In all cohorts, the first principal component (PC) explained more than 95% of the total variation. Technic…
Listeria monocytogenes Differential Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Temperature-Dependent Agr Regulation and Suggests Overlaps with Other Regulons
2012
Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous, opportunistic pathogenic organism. Environmental adaptation requires constant regulation of gene expression. Among transcriptional regulators, AgrA is part of an auto-induction system. Temperature is an environmental cue critical for in vivo adaptation. In order to investigate how temperature may affect AgrA-dependent transcription, we compared the transcriptomes of the parental strain L. monocytogenes EGD-e and its Delta agrA mutant at the saprophytic temperature of 25 degrees C and in vivo temperature of 37 degrees C. Variations of transcriptome were higher at 37 degrees C than at 25 degrees C. Results suggested that AgrA may be involved in the regu…
