Empathes: A general code for nudged elastic band transition states search
2022
Abstract An easy and flexible interface, Empathes (Extensible Minimum PATH EStimator), that allows to perform Nudged Elastic Band calculation for the determination of transition states is presented. The code is designed to be easily modified, in order to be associated with the user's preferred calculation software, even with those which implement composite approaches. In particular, the interfaces to Gaussian and Siesta programs are discussed in details, being the former only used for testing purpose, while the latter can be productively employed for transition states search with that commonly used density functional theory software for periodic calculations.

Il BIM nella Progettazione Sostenibile
2017
Il Building Information Modeling (BIM) è un sistema di progettazione integrata che usa tecniche di modellazione parametrica, associando a ogni elemento costruttivo una descrizione delle caratteristiche geometriche, dei materiali impiegati, dei costi di produzione, ecc. Ma è anche un’attività umana, che sta determinando consistenti modificazioni dei processi nel settore delle costruzioni. L’articolo presenterà i risultati di uno studio che si sta conducendo nell’ambito del Corso di Laurea in Ingegneria Edile –Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, sulle potenzialità e i limiti che il BIM può determinare per il risparmio energetico. Attraverso l’approfondimento di un caso studio…
Multiple Ipsilateral Inguinal Hernias: More Frequent Than Imagined, If Undetected Source of Discomfort, Pain, and Re-interventions
2014
The article reports the incidence of multiple inguinal protrusions in the same groin in a patient collect who underwent open hernia repair. Multiple ipsilateral inguinal hernias compose an almost neglected topic that, if not identified during hernia repair, could lead to unclear discomfort, pain, and reoperation. A collect of 100 consecutive open anterior inguinal hernia procedures was analyzed. The patients were divided into two subsets-A: patients with a single protrusion and B: patients with more than one protrusion simultaneously arising from the inguinal floor. The single hernias from cohort A and the multiple hernias from cohort B were further categorized using the Nyhus classificatio…
Fortification of milk with calcium: effect on calcium bioavailability and interactions with iron and zinc.
2006
Calcium solubility, dialysability, and transport and uptake (retention + transport) by Caco-2 cells as indicators of calcium bioavailability have been estimated in the in vitro gastrointestinal digests of milk and calcium fortified milk. A significant linear correlation (p < 0.05) was obtained between calcium uptake and the amount of soluble calcium added to the cells, and also between percentage calcium uptake and the calcium measured in the analyzed samples. The solubility, dialysis, transport, and uptake values are higher (p < 0.05) for calcium fortified milks than for nonfortified milks; that is, calcium fortification increases not only calcium content but also its bioavailability. An i…
Kilohertz and Low-Frequency Electrical Stimulation With the Same Pulse Duration Have Similar Efficiency for Inducing Isometric Knee Extension Torque …
2017
International audience; Objective To test the hypotheses that, as compared with pulsed current with the same pulse duration, kilohertz frequency alternating current would not differ in terms of evoked-torque production and perceived discomfort, and as a result, it would show the same current efficiency.Design A repeated-measures design with 4 stimuli presented in random order was used to test 25 women: (1) 500-microsecond pulse duration, (2) 250-microsecond pulse duration, (3) 500-microsecond pulse duration and low carrier frequency (1 kHz), (4) 250-microsecond pulse duration and high carrier frequency (4 kHz). Isometric peak torque of quadriceps muscle was measured using an isokinetic dyna…
Redzes kvalitātes izmaiņas kontaktlēcu lietotājiem dienas laikā
2022
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 40 lapām. Tas satur 23 attēlus, 3 tabulas, 1 pielikumu un 45 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija novērtēt, kā mainās acī noklīdusī gaisma kontaktlēcu lietotājiem dienas laikā. Pētījumā piedalījās 20 dalībnieki, kuriem ar C- Quant Oculus iekārtu tika noteikta acī noklīdušās gaismas vērtība dienas sākumā un pēcpusdienā. Ar aptaujas palīdzību tika noskaidrots kontaktlēcu lietotāju redzes komforta subjektīvās sajūtas dienas sākumā un pēcpusdienā. Iegūtie rezultāti parādīja, ka kontaktlēcu lietotājiem pēcpusdienā būtiski palielinās acī noklīdušās gaismas vērtība. Novērtējot ar aptaujas palīdzību subjektīvo redzes komfortu dienas sāku…
The Intensification of Work
2018
Work intensity has become an increasingly vital concept in understanding current changes in the employment sector, and why these changes have detrimental implications for the well-being of employees and their families. Objective measures, such as allocation or length of work hours, do not necessarily catch the tempo of work during the time spent at work. Nor are the hours an appropriate indicator of the level of mental effort and strain in and even outside of (official) work (hours). This chapter discusses the various change processes in the economy and work life that have led to the intensification of work. The chapter’s aim is also to describe how these change processes pose varying chall…
Chapter 6: Iron fortification of milk and dairy products
2013
International audience; Anaemia is a worldwide health problem, mainly due to the low availability of iron in food products. The bioavailability of heme iron is far greater than the one of non-heme iron. Dairy products consumed together with iron-rich food decrease the availability of iron but the competition between calcium and iron ions is not clear. Iron is naturally present in milk under the form of lactoferrin, but lactoferrin may undergo thermal denaturation during process. Iron salts, cheaper than lactoferrin, are preferably used to fortify dairy products. The bioavailability of iron depends on the solubility and the dissociation constant of the salts. To administer iron as a medicine…
L’habitat perché du Malpas à Soyons (Ardèche) durant l’Antiquité tardive : état des données
2023
International audience; Recent excavations carried out between 2011-2016 in the ancient and medieval town of Soyons (Ardèche), located in the middle Rhône valley, in the territory of the roman colony of Valence, provide us new data on the occupation of the hilltop of Le Malpas.The study of the fortification of the Iron age has revealed the existence of a rampart built during the 3rd century AD. At this time, the lower city, under the actual village, is gradually abandoned. After a probable hiatus during the 4th century AD, the hilltop and the lower city grew again during the 5th and the 6th century AD. The late antique artefacts discovered in all the trenches dug on the Malpas let us assume…
