Efficacy and safety of bempedoic acid for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2020
Background Bempedoic acid is a first-in-class lipid-lowering drug recommended by guidelines for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Our objective was to estimate its average effect on plasma lipids in humans and its safety profile. Methods and findings We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase II and III randomized controlled trials on bempedoic acid (PROSPERO: CRD42019129687). PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were searched, with no language restriction, from inception to 5 August 2019. We included 10 RCTs (n = 3,788) comprising 26 arms (active arm [n = 2,460]; control arm [n = 1,328]). Effect sizes for changes in lipids and high-…
Will to power in architecture. Nietzschean inspirations
2022
Nietzsche, having presented his interpretation of the Greek tragedy in which the Apollonian and Dionysian elements interact, developed a comprehensive theory of art In which the will to power plays a fundamental role. He also became increasingly interested In the idea of architecture as an art created out of the will to power and embracing the highest human aspirations. It can be assumed that, as far as the architectural space is concerned, the Apollonian is beautiful, and the Dionysian is sublirae. Both elements are dialectically synthesised in the form of the will to power, which is the most powerful form of spontaneity. It is this will that brings to life the great art that supports man …
On Erlang B-formula and ERT method extension
2010
The key result of the paper is the theorem on traffic splitting and the ERT method extension for estimation of the throughput for schemes with traffic splitting. The excellent accuracy (relative error is less than 1%) is shown in numerical example. The paper also contains new Erlang-B formula algorithm for non-integer number of channels based on parabolic approximation.
Self-Assembly of Water-Mediated Supramolecular Cationic Archimedean Solids
2013
Understanding the self-assembly of small structural units into large supramolecular assemblies remains one of the great challenges in structural chemistry. We have discovered that tetrahedral supramolecular cages, exhibiting the shapes of Archimedean solids, can be self-assembled by hydrogen bonding interactions using tricationic N-donors (1 or 2) in cooperation with water (W). Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that cage (2)4(W)6, assembled in an aqueous solution of cation 2 and KPF6, consists of four tripodal trications linked by six water monomers and resembles the shape of a truncated tetrahedron. Similarly, cage (1)4(W6)4 spontaneously self-assembles in an aqueous solution of cation 1…
Richesse et diversité: à la découverte des archives des sciences humaines et sociales. Avant-propos
2008
Les archives de la recherche des sciences sociales et humaines sont-elles des archives particulières? A priori non. Elles sont des archives scientifiques comme d'autres, qui ont fait l'objet de programmes spécifiques ces dernières décennies. On pense ici notamment au programme ARisc qui, après de longs efforts de sensibilisation et d'investigations, a abouti notamment à la publication d'un catalogue collectif des fonds
Pietro Lojacono : restauri in Calabria e Sicilia
2022
The essay investigates the complex personality of the engineer Pietro Lojacono (Palermo 1900 - Rome 1972), who di- stinguished himself throughout his life in the field of conservation of the architectural and landscape heritage, not only in Italy, but also abroad and in particular on the island of Rhodes, in Greece . Lojacono was a man fully inserted into the cultural debate on the Restoration of monuments, able to testify to the principles acquired, but also to suggest new instances, such as maintaining authenticity, against the continuous replacement of degraded stones, up to the complete replacement of the material of the monuments. Among the many researches and restoration interventions…

The contribution introduces a scientific essay on an Arab-Norman architecture in Palermo, placing it in the historical context of reference.
The Arab - Norman civil architecture in Palermo: enhancement strategies
2013
This contribution aims to deepen the knowledge of a historical and artistic heritage of the city of Palermo, i.e. the Arab-Norman civil architecture, yet not adequately utilized, despite its importance as a World Heritage Site'. Within the three royal parks (the Old, the New and the Genoardo), the Norman kings built the palaces of Maredolce, Zisa, Cuba and Scibene, always accompanied by water, both as a lake or as a fishpond, whose purpose was primarily hedonistic as well as productive. The transmission of the architectural heritage to the future presupposes its promotion through the creation of an appropriate strategy helping to spread its knowledge and enjoyment. For example, Sicily has f…
'Aquarum deliciae' nei palazzi dei re normanni a Palermo
2022
Il lavoro illustra il forte legame esistente tra gli edifici dei re normanni a Palermo -in particolare i “sollatia”, in cui amavano rifugiarsi, con la loro corte, per cacciare e ripararsi dalla calura estiva, immersi nella rigogliosa vegetazione dei grandi parchi che dalla città si estendevano fino alle pendici della rocca di Monreale e su tutta la cosiddetta piana dei colli- e l’acqua. El estudio ilustra la fuerte nrelación entre los edificios de los reyes normandos en Palermo –en particolar los “sollatia”, en los cuales amaban refugiarse, con su corte, para cazar y reposar del calor estival, inmersos en la exhuberante vegetación de los grandes parques que desde la ciudad se extendían hast…
External labeling and algorithms for hierarchic networks
1988
Algorithms for generating internal data structures for networks are given. Data bases for networks can be partitioned hierarchically. Nodes of lower class networks may also be in the interior of a higher class arc which will be split if it is included into the final network. Naming is based either on nodes or on arcs.
