Modulation of mitochondriotropic properties of cyanine dyes by in organello copper-free click reaction
2017
Cyanine (Cy) dyes show a general propensity to localize in polarized mitochondria. This mitochondriotropism was used to perform a copper-free click reaction in the mitochondria of living cells. The in organello reaction of dyes Cy3 and Cy5 led to a product that was easily traceable by Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET). As determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy, the Cy3-Cy5 conjugate showed enhanced retention in mitochondria, relative to that of the starting compounds. This enhancement of a favorable property can be achieved by synthesis in organello, but not outside mitochondria.

Abstract Purpose To report on a case of recurrence of paraproteinemic keratopathy (PPK) associated with monoclonal gammopathy after bilateral penetrating keratoplasty. Observations Penetrating keratoplasty was performed on both eyes of a 45-year-old man due to bilateral progressive corneal stromal clouding. Recurrence of the corneal stromal opacities accompanied by a decrease in visual acuity was observed on slit-lamp examination already two years after penetrating keratoplasty. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) of the corneal grafts performed three years after penetrating keratoplasty showed bilateral morphological changes identical to that found in the patient's corneas prior to p…
La digitalizzazione del patrimonio come strumento per la conoscenza, un’esperienza sull’architettura ferroviaria siciliana
2022
The process of digitisation of the artistic and cultural heritage has enriched the possibilities of representation and communication of architecture, increasing the modes of reproduction, fruition as well as the possibilities of protection and preservation. The study of this research draws attention on the continuous progress of technology in the cultural field and highlights the important collaboration that exists between digital and analog representation, identifying, with this synergy, a virtuous path that allows, through the use of different methodologies, to be able to know and analyze the historical phases of a building. In particular, the attention was directed to the Caltanissetta C…
La Cappella Palatina di Palermo: Misura, Interpretazione, Rappresentazione
2012
Lo studio che segue è incentrato sull'analisi delle vicende costruttive della Cappella Palatina nel Palazzo Reale di Palermo, costruita per volontà di Ruggero II nella prima metà del XII secolo. La peculiarità della Cappella è quella di aver mantenuto pressoché inalterato i caratteri spaziali dell’interno attraverso i secoli; tale peculiarità ha fatto si che la Cappella sia stata oggetto di studi molto approfonditi condotti da storici dell’arte a partire dalla del XIX secolo fino ai nostri giorni. Lo studio intende porsi come contributo alla conoscenza della Cappella, alla interpretazione di alcune questioni rimaste irrisolte, come stimolo ausiliare per successivi studi, attraverso gli stru…
GEOMATIC TECHNIQUES FOR THE COLONNADE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORICAL “ CHIARAMONTE STERI” BUILDING
2019
The monitoring of building structures has an increasingly important role in the engineering field, above all because they are concerned with the impact that such structures have in the area where they were built. Often, when walking through the old town centres, we realize just how obsolete and dangerous some buildings (even historic-cultural ones) are. The interest of some local governments in this problem has led, in the last few years, to the study and the trying out of measuring and monitoring methods which, quickly and at low cost, allow to define the extent of the deformation and the degrade in an accurate and reliable way. The Courtyard of “Palazzo Steri - Chiaramonte” is composed of…
TECNOLOGIE DI RILIEVO 3D PER LA DOCUMENTAZIONE, L’INTERPRETAZIONE E LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEL PATRIMONIO ARCHEOLOGICO: IL CASO STUDIO DEL PARCO ARCHEOLOG…
2020
In recent decades, the application of geomatics technologies and methodologies to archaeological studies has led to a substantial change in onsite survey techniques and allowed an interdisciplinary approach between archaeology and digital technologies. The employment of these techniques aims to reduce the time of research and documentation, to acquire large amounts of data and to manage, in a more efficiently and quickly way, different datasets. Moreover, these new approaches provide non-invasive, flexible, low-cost methodologies to improve archaeological documentation from a quantitative and qualitative point of view. Nowadays, archaeologists can take advantage of various recording techniq…
Post-extraction mesio-distal gap reduction assessment by confocal laser scanning microscopy - a clinical 3-month follow-up study
2017
[EN] AimThe aim of this 3-month follow-up study is to quantify the reduction in the mesio-distal gap dimension (MDGD) that occurs after tooth extraction through image analysis of three-dimensional images obtained with the confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) technique. Materials and MethodsFollowing tooth extraction, impressions of 79 patients 1month and 72 patients 3months after tooth extraction were obtained. Cast models were processed by CLSM, and MDGD changes between time points were measured. ResultsThe mean mesio-distal gap reduction 1month after tooth extraction was 343.4m and 3months after tooth extraction was 672.3m. The daily mean gap reduction rate during the first term (bet…
Levantamiento del templo G. parque arqueologico de Selinunte, Trapani. Sicilia. Informe general
2006
El trabajo de campo al que se refiere la presente comunicación, se puede considerar como la fase inicial del proyecto de levantamiento del templo G de Selinunte, ya que si bien se han podido tomar muchos datos del mismo durante la campaña de verano del 2005, quedan algunas zonas donde no ha sido posible acceder, por lo que será preciso completar la información conforme se vaya avanzando en el modelo. La dificultad mayor vendrá con la definición del propio modelo 3D, labor de investigación avanzada ya que actualmente no existen técnicas ni metodologías de referencia a nivel mundial en el uso de escaners láser 3d aplicados al campo de la arquitectura. Esta segunda tarea la estamos llevando a …
Integrated use of unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning to support archaeological analysis: The Acropolis of Selinunt…
2021
Southwestern Sicily is an area of infrequent seismic activity; however, some studies carried out in the archaeological Selinunte site suggest that, between the fourth century BC and the early Middle Ages, probably at least two earthquakes strucked this area with enough energy to damage and cause the collapse and kinematics of much of the architecture of Selinunte. Take into account that, in 2008, a noninvasive archaeological prospection and traditional data gathering methods along the Acropolis north fortifications were carried out. Following these first studies, after about 10 years, a new geophysical campaign was carried out. This second campaign benefited from the application of modern t…
Increasing contextual information by merging existing archaeological data with state of the art laser scanning in the prehistoric funerary deposit of…
2013
Abstract In this paper we present a virtual reconstruction of prehistoric funerary practices in Pastora Cave, a collective burial site in Eastern Spain that dates from the Late Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. Modern data of the cave was captured by 3D laser scanning techniques and added to recorded archaeological data and 3D graphic information. The combination of these data sets allowed us to create a hypothetical reconstruction to analyze the material excavated in the 1940s and 50s in greater spatial context. A 3D model of the current cave was created in order to serve as a basis for modeling the relative stratigraphic information available. We present the methodology employed and…
