Assessing and accessing the small airways; implications for asthma management

2013

Despite the wealth of experience in the management of asthma, the disease remains inadequately controlled in some patients, who face long-term respiratory impairment and disability. The disease has been characterised as an inflammatory condition affecting first the larger airways and eventually the smaller airways, but there is evidence that peripheral airway involvement defines a particular and more severe phenotype of asthma. For this reason, assessing functional and biological parameters reflective of small airways involvement is important prognostically. No assessment method is universally and directly representative of peripheral airway function, but the traditional spirometric tests, …

Tra Elimi, Punici e Greci: le origini di Drepanon

2020

The early history of the ancient Drepanon (or Drepana) is not clear at all even today. The mythological tales, which mention that locality as an important stop and destination of Aeneas’ voyage, do not associate the origins of Drepanon with any ethnos, or Greek heroes and founders. This depends on the fact that the peninsula where Drepanon was founded in 260/59 BC (when the Carthaginian Hamilcar moved the population from Eryx to the coast) was not a proper city developing an urban network, but a trade area (emporion) which has left no archaeological traces. Even if the city developed as an urban centre only later, this does not mean, however, that the place was not particularly important. O…

Non-immersion theorem for a class of hyperbolic manifolds

1998

Abstract It is proved that a non-simply-connected complete hyperbolic manifold cannot be isometrically immersed in a Euclidean space with a flat normal connection. In particular, the complete hyperbolic manifold M n with π 1 ( M ) ≠ 0 cannot be isometrically immersed in R 2 n − 1 .

When are profinite many-sorted algebras retracts of ultraproducts of finite many-sorted algebras?

2017

For a set of sorts $S$ and an $S$-sorted signature $\Sigma$ we prove that a profinite $\Sigma$-algebra, i.e., a projective limit of a projective system of finite $\Sigma$-algebras, is a retract of an ultraproduct of finite $\Sigma$-algebras if the family consisting of the finite $\Sigma$-algebras underlying the projective system is with constant support. In addition, we provide a categorial rendering of the above result. Specifically, after obtaining a category where the objects are the pairs formed by a nonempty upward directed preordered set and by an ultrafilter containing the filter of the final sections of it, we show that there exists a functor from the just mentioned category whose o…

The horospherical Gauss-Bonnet type theorem in hyperbolic space

2006

We introduce the notion horospherical curvatures of hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space and show that totally umbilic hypersurfaces with vanishing cur- vatures are only horospheres. We also show that the Gauss-Bonnet type theorem holds for the horospherical Gauss-Kronecker curvature of a closed orientable even dimensional hypersurface in hyperbolic space. + (i1) by using the model in Minkowski space. We introduced the notion of hyperbolic Gauss indicatrices slightly modified the definition of hyperbolic Gauss maps. The notion of hyperbolic indicatrices is independent of the choice of the model of hyperbolic space. Using the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix, we defined the principal hyperbolic curv…

Luokittelumenetelmän evaluointimenetelmien vertailu pienten aineistojen tapauksessa simulointikokein

2016

Luokitteluanalyysin tyypillinen ongelma on mallin valinta ja/tai muuttujien eli piirteiden valinta. Tavoitteena on estimoida luotettavasti luokitteluvirheen todennäköisyys opetusaineiston avulla - ideaalissa tilanteessa käyttäen riippumatonta testiaineistoa. Tällöin saadaan estimaatti yleistämisvirheelle, joka kuvaa opetusaineistosta estimoidun mallin kykyä ennustaa riippumatonta testiaineistoa. Usein kuitenkin aineiston niukkuudesta johtuen ei voida käyttää erillistä riippumatonta testiaineistoa, jolloin ei myöskään voida estimoida suoraan yleistämisvirhettä. Tällöin voidaan kuitenkin käyttää otoksen uudelleenkäyttömenetelmiä, joista käytetyimmät lienevät ristiinvalidointi ja bootstrap. Me…

Analysis of mycotoxins in barley using ultra high liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry: comparison of efficiency and efficacy of d…

2012

The effectiveness of four extraction methods (modified QuEChERS, matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD), solid-liquid extraction (SLE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean-up) were evaluated for simultaneous determination of 32 mycotoxins produced by the genus Fusarium, Claviceps, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Alternaria in barley by ultra high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Orbitrap(®) MS). The efficiency and efficacy of extraction methods were evaluated and compared in number of extracted mycotoxins and obtained recoveries. From the one point of view, QuEChERS procedure was fast and easy, as well as it was able to successfully extra…

Accuracy of Rotational Parameters Predicted by High-Level Quantum-Chemical Calculations: Case Study of Sulfur-Containing Molecules of Astrochemical I…

2018

The accuracy of rotational parameters obtained from high-level quantum-chemical calculations is discussed for molecules containing second-row atoms. The main focus is on computed rotational constants for which two statistical analyses have been carried out. A first benchmark study concerns sulfur-bearing species and involves 15 molecules (for a total of 74 isotopologues). By comparing 15 different computational approaches, all of them based on the coupled-cluster singles and doubles approach (CCSD) augmented by a perturbative treatment of triple excitations, CCSD(T), we have analyzed the effects on computed rotational constants due to (i) extrapolation to the complete basis-set limit, (ii) …
