Profilin1 regulates sternum development and endochondral bone formation.
2012
Bone development is a dynamic process that requires cell motility and morphological adaptation under the control of actin cytoskeleton. This actin cytoskeleton system is regulated by critical modulators including actin-binding proteins. Among them, profilin1 (Pfn1) is a key player to control actin fiber structure, and it is involved in a number of cellular activities such as migration. During the early phase of body development, skeletal stem cells and osteoblastic progenitor cells migrate to form initial rudiments for future skeletons. During this migration, these cells extend their process based on actin cytoskeletal rearrangement to locate themselves in an appropriate location within mic…
Signalling molecules and growth factors for tissue engineering of cartilage-what can we learn from the growth plate?
2009
Modern tissue engineering concepts integrate cells, scaffolds, signalling molecules and growth factors. For the purposes of regenerative medicine, fetal development is of great interest because it is widely accepted that regeneration recapitulates in part developmental processes. In tissue engineering of cartilage the growth plate of the long bone represents an interesting, well-organized developmental structure with a spatial distribution of chondrocytes in different proliferation and differentiation stages, embedded in a scaffold of extracellular matrix components. The proliferation and differentiation of these chondrocytes is regulated by various hormonal and paracrine factors. Thus, mem…
Hic sunt Hobbits. La “realizzazione” di un paesaggio virtuale.
2016
Il contributo si propone di descrivere due potenti dispositivi che Tolkien ha adoperato per consolidare la sua rappresentazione della Terra di Mezzo e renderla il più possibile vicina alla realtà: le mappe e i paesaggi. Entrambi sono utilizzati come strumenti che trasformano la geografia epica e virtuale de Il Signore degli Anelli in una concreta rievocazione della situazione europea vissuta da Tolkien. In particolare, saranno descritte tre specifiche aree: la Contea, casa degli Hobbit e monumento al vecchio spirito di Englishness; Moria, il labirinto profondo e abissale; Mordor, l’infernale macchina da guerra. Attraverso l’analisi di un caso particolare, il contributo mostrerà come la Terr…
Human settlement dynamics and alluvial dynamics of the Rhine River during the Holocene: Geoarchaeology of the site of Oedenburg (Haut-Rhin, France).
2007
The relationship between alluvial dynamics and control parameters such as climate are well known and understood at plurimillennial and pluriannual time-scales. But it is not really the case at multicentennial and multidecennal time-scales compatible with human society settlement time-scales. In a present and near future context, when human settlement may be affected by strong climatic variation, alluvial dynamics understanding is however a major centre of attention to the development of efficient models. To approach this scale-related question, a segment of the Upper Rhine River presenting both anastomosed and braided was investigated. This area also gives us the opportunity to study settle…
L'insegnamento della Topografia nell'Ateneo di Palermo
2007
Le discipline topografiche hanno registrato negli ultimi anni un profondo rinnovamento grazie soprattutto allo sviluppo delle tecnologie elettroniche ed informatiche. Nuove strumentazioni e metodologie sono state prodotte, sempre più veloci, automatiche, affidabili; basti pensare alla stazione totale, al GPS, al laser a scansione, oppure alla cartografia numerica, alle tecniche fotogrammetriche digitali, a quelle GIS. Un nuovo termine è stato di recente introdotto nel linguaggio tecnico, Geomatica, proprio ad individuare il complesso delle discipline che hanno come oggetto l’acquisizione, l’elaborazione, l’analisi, la visualizzazione e la gestione di informazioni territoriali, e che includo…
La toma inteligente de decisiones en los procesos de planificación de destinos turísticos de litoral: el plan de infraestructuras turísticas de canar…
2017
El Plan de Infraestructuras Turísticas de Canarias [PITCAN2017-2013] es un encargo de la Dirección General de Infraestructuras Turísticas de la Consejería de Turismo, Cultura y Deportes del Gobierno de Canarias a un grupo de investigadores de la Cátedra de Turismo CajaCanarias‐Ashotel‐Universidad de La Laguna y del grupo de investigación de la ULL ReinvenTUR: renovación e innovación turística, a través de la Fundación General de la Universidad de La Laguna. El objetivo del plan es enumerar y priorizar las infraestructuras turísticas públicas a implementar en el período 2017-2023. Para el desarrollo de este objetivo se ha aplicado un proceso metodológico basado en la participación de agentes…
Comparison of metals and essential trace elements levels between Autistic Spectrum Disorders cases and their sibs in Sicily (southern Italy)
2016
Introduction: A role of metals exposure and essential trace element deficiency in Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) etiology has been suggested by epidemiologic studies, but conclusive evidence on this topic is still lacking and controversial. We compared metals and essential trace element levels between cases both with their brothers and healthy children. Methods: The diagnosis of ASD were performed by ADOS and ADI-R according to DSM IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) criteria. Hair samples were collected from cases and sibs by single cutting from the occipital region. The samples were cut to lengths of about 1.5–2 cm using clean stainless steel scissors. Approximat…
The Technologies of Architectural Survey: A New Comparison Based on the Tower of Sotillo de la Ribera, Burgos
2017
The paper offers an original research about the analysis and the comparison of different techniques of survey concerning the architectural field – image-based and range-based – throughout the development of the theory of errors in order to evaluate reliability and precision of the results. In particular, this analysis will be focused on the tower of the parochial Church of Santa Águeda, a building located in the small village of Sotillo de la Ribera, within the province of Burgos (Spain). The first part of this work, therefore, has been submitted to the implementation of different methodologies, from the direct survey used as a basis, to the procedure to represent graphically the results (e…
La problematica distinzione fra diritti e principi nella Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell'Unione europea
2020
In questo studio si prospetta una ricostruzione della distinzione fra fra diritti e principi definita nella Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell'Unione europea e si riflette sull'interpretazione che ne è stata data alla luce delle tradizioni costituzionali italiana e spagnola. This essay aims at giving some insights on the dinstinction between "rights" and "principles" within the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The Author analyzes also the judicial interpretation of this distinction contextualizing it within the Italian and Spanish Constitutional Tradition.
Trandix: Herramienta Proactiva para la Búsqueda Terminológica del Traductor y su Evaluación
2014
This article is the English version of “Trandix: herramienta proactiva para la búsqueda terminológica del traductor y su evaluación” by Isabel Durán Muñoz & Alejandro Fernández Sola. It was not published on the print version of MonTI for reasons of space. The online version of MonTI does not suffer from these limitations, and this is our way of promoting plurilingualism. This paper analyses current trends in the terminological field and translators’ needs regarding terminological resources. In this context, it presents the Trandix tool, a novel software application that intends to enhance efficiency in terminological searches conducted by translators. In addition to its main features, this …
