Clinical‑dermoscopic similarities between atypical nevi and early stage melanoma
2021
Atypical (Clark) nevi are benign tumors that may be considered precursors of melanoma. Many studies acknowledge a linear progression from typical to atypical nevi that eventually transform into melanoma. It is often challenging to differentiate a Clark nevus from melanoma, especially in its early stages, due to their clinical, dermoscopic, and histological resemblance. Dermoscopy is a powerful tool in early melanoma diagnosis, but it is a subjective method of examination. Therefore, the use of dermoscopic algorithms and checklists can overcome this issue. In the case of a difficult diagnosis, since both dermoscopy and histopathological exam are subjective methods of examination, modern mole…
Dynamics and risk assessment of pesticides in cucumber through field experiments and model simulation
2020
Abstract Pesticides are often applied multiple times during cucumber cultivation in China. In order to obtain the residue concentrations and subsequently human health risk assessment after pesticide multiple applications, plenty of field trials have been conducted, consuming a lot of labor force and funds. The application of kinetic models can address this problem to some extent by predicting the residue values of pesticides in cucumber. In this study, a dynamic model (dynamiCROP) was applied in combination with field experiments to investigate the distribution, translocation, and dissipation after the one-time application of seven pesticides in a cucumber-soil environment. Moreover, the re…
Determination of stilbenes in Sicilian pistachio by high-performance liquid chromatographic diode array (HPLC-DAD/FLD) and evaluation of eventually m…
2008
In this work, we have investigated about the presence of several natural stilbenes in 12 samples of pistachios harvested from 10 different farms of Sicily (Bronte and Agrigento). At the same time, we have evaluated the relation between the stilbenes synthesis and the possible contamination of mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. We have found two types of stilbenes in the samples of pistachios examined: trans-resveratrol and trans-resveratrol-3-O-β-glucoside (trans-piceid). Their concentration ranged from 0.07 to 0.18 mg/kg (av. = 0.12 ± 0.03 mg/kg) for trans-resveratrol, from 6.20 to 8.15 mg/kg (av. = 6.97 ± 0.55 mg/kg) for trans-piceid and from 6.38 to 8.2…
The colonization of sicily by the Black Kite (Milvus migrans)
2003
I describe the colonization of the black kites (Milvus migrans) in Sicily. The ancient ornithologists of the ninth century considered this species as occasional and rare in Sicily. The black kite has been classified as the second mosto common species observed in the Strait of Messina in spring and is also most abundant during fall migration. Habitats suitable for nesting are available along the migratory route. This species is reproducing and remaining during the winter in an approximate area of 100 kmq located in the center of Sicily. The first confirmed reproductive data was reported in 1979, later a more extensive colonization followed. Stadia tardla was recorded during vehicle censuses …

Consumers’ acceptance of information and communications technology in tourism: A review
2017
The review provides a conceptual framework on e-tourism research.Research on e-tourism is grouped into three classifications.Research on these three groups are uneven.Synthesis of theories, theories and frameworks provided. The impact of information and communications technology (ICT) in tourism (e-tourism) has altered the ways tourism services are accessed and consumed. Ubiquitous and highly innovative ICTs provide different channels for consumers to use tourism services; thus, studies on e-tourism are numerous and fragmented. Different factors account for how consumers embrace these channels. The purpose of this study is to review studies on consumers acceptance or adoption of e-tourism i…
Methodology for Structured Data-Path Implementation in VLSI Physical Design: A Case Study
2022
State-of-the-art modern microprocessor and domain-specific accelerator designs are dominated by data-paths composed of regular structures, also known as bit-slices. Random logic placement and routing techniques may not result in an optimal layout for these data-path-dominated designs. As a result, implementation tools such as Cadence’s Innovus include a Structured Data-Path (SDP) feature that allows data-path placement to be completely customized by constraining the placement engine. A relative placement file is used to provide these constraints to the tool. However, the tool neither extracts nor automatically places the regular data-path structures. In other words, the relative placement f…
Does the law matter? An empirical study on the accessibility of Finnish higher education institutions’ web pages
2022
AbstractInformation and communication technology (ICT) has made higher education available to many students in a new way. The role of online learning in higher education institutions (HEIs) has grown to an unprecedented scale due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The diversity of higher education students has increased, and accessible solutions are needed. New European and national regulations support these trends. The research reported in this paper was conducted in Finland, which is one of the leading European countries in terms of high technology and digitalisation. The aim of this research is to explore the accessibility of all Finnish HEIs’ (N = 38) landing pages based on Web Content Accessibi…
