Plant hunting: exploring the behaviour of amateur botanists in the field
2021
We asked what are the behavioural and logistic preferences of professional and amateur botanists when exploring flora in the field. We extracted temporal and spatial data on vas- cular plant species occurrences from three datasets of Sicilian flora: a subset of iNaturalist, a dataset collected by a Facebook group focused on the flora of Sicily and a subset of the professional database European Vegetation Archive. We used the time span of individual contributor’s activity as a proxy of their commitment to collecting information about the flora of Sicily. Climate and landscape data were used to better characterize the spatial and temporal activity of data contributors. Finally, we assessed wh…
Bed Topography Reconstruction in a Large Amplitude Meandering Flume: Application of Close Range Photogrammetry
2014
Natural rivers are characterized by continuous variations in bed topography, especially along curved reaches. High resolution topographic data are necessary to analyze the mutual interactions between the downstream flow and the cross-stream flow, which determine the distribution of the bed-shear stress along the channel. Because of the difficulty in acquiring good and accurate data in rivers, the major part of studies have been conducted in laboratory flumes. This paper reports on a laboratory study in which the automatic digital photogrammetric survey was applied to derive the high-resolution Digital Surface Model (DSM) of the bed topography in a large amplitude meandering flume. In order …
Local Effects of Longitudinal Heat Conduction in Plate Heat Exchangers
2007
Abstract In a plate heat exchanger, heat transfer from the hot to the cold fluid is a multi-dimensional conjugate problem, in which longitudinal heat conduction (LHC) along the dividing walls often plays some role and can not be neglected. Large-scale , or end-to-end, LHC is always detrimental to the exchanger’s effectiveness. On the contrary, if significant non-uniformities exist in the distribution of either convective heat transfer coefficient, small-scale , or local, LHC may actually enhance the exchanger’s performance by improving the thermal coupling between high heat transfer spots located on the opposite sides of the dividing wall.
Monitoring Human Neutrophil Differentiation by Digital Holographic Microscopy
2021
We report on the usefulness of digital holographic microscopy (DHM) for the assessment of human neutrophil differentiation from myeloid cells. The cell and nuclear regions have been designated by image segmentation of the optical phase function, and the changes of the cell nucleus morphology in relation to the whole cell morphology have been examined during the process of granulocytic differentiation into mature neutrophils in PLB-985 cell line. Nucleus phase volume and circularity and the ratios between the nucleus and the cell projected area and volume provide a reliable set of parameters to characterize the maturation process. As control, cell differentiation has been monitored in parall…
Designing digital well-being of senior citizens
2020
In this paper, we illustrate a concrete case to apply the Life-Based Design approach to identifying human goals for technology to achieve. We focus on a form-of-life method of design, which seeks to reach a mental state of “digital wellbeing.” Digital well-being aims to facilitate digitalization and changes in the digital environment, and to maximize the availability and accessibility of services. We evaluate the target group of senior citizens, who are facing an accelerating pace of digitalization of the services in their daily lives. This increases their sense of anxiety and undermines their well-being. peerReviewed
Seguimiento digitalizado combinado en población con alto riesgo de desarrollar un melanoma maligno: análisis retrospectivo de 152 pacientes
2021
Resumen: Antecedentes: La dermatoscopia digitalizada (DD) ha demostrado mejorar la precisión en el diagnóstico del melanoma (MM) en pacientes de alto riesgo. La combinación de DD y fotografía corporal total (FCT) puede facilitar la detección de nuevas lesiones o la aparición de cambios macroscópicos precoces en lesiones previamente registradas. Objetivos: El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar el número de biopsias necesarias para diagnosticar un MM y, las características clínicas y dermatoscópicas asociadas al diagnóstico de melanoma en pacientes en seguimiento, mediante DD y FCT, de lesiones pigmentadas. Pacientes y métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de 152 pacientes co…

Un enigma architettonico tra storia, disegno e ricostruzioni: la chiesa di San Nicolò alla Kalsa a Palermo
2022
Il contributo affronta lo studio di un monumento scomparso della città di Palermo, la chiesa parrocchiale di San Nicolò alla Kalsa, che aveva rivestito un ruolo significativo nel contesto urbano medievale e della prima età moderna, conoscendo successivamente un progressivo abbandono e degrado fino alla sua demolizione dopo il 1823, e ne propone una ricostruzione virtuale attraverso l’elaborazione di un modello 3D. Strumento principale per la conoscenza dell’edificio scomparso è un’articolata iconografia storica, che spazia dalla scala urbana a quella del dettaglio architettonico, qui vagliata per desumerne dati necessari alla formulazione di un’ipotesi ricostruttiva attendibile e scientific…
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: Genetic and clinical spectrum in a Spanish clinical series
2013
Objectives: To determine the genetic distribution and the phenotypic correlation of an extensive series of patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in a geographically well-defined Mediterranean area. Methods: A thorough genetic screening, including most of the known genes involved in this disease, was performed and analyzed in this longitudinal descriptive study. Clinical data were analyzed and compared among the genetic subgroups. Results: Molecular diagnosis was accomplished in 365 of 438 patients (83.3%), with a higher success rate in demyelinating forms of the disease. The CMT1A duplication (PMP22 gene) was the most frequent genetic diagnosis (50.4%), followed by mutations in the GJB1…
Temi politici e religiosi in Roselyne Forbyn d'Oppède (1822-1884)
2015
Il saggio analizza alcuni aspetti della riflessione politica e religiosa di Marie-Aglaé-Roselyne Forbin d’Oppède, nata Villeneuve Bargemon (1822-1884), cattolica liberale, impegnata per il rinnovamento della cultura religiosa in Francia, ma anche per l’affermazione dei princìpi della tradizione liberale di ispirazione cattolica.
