Valutazione dell'apporto della costellazione GLONASS nel posizionamento NRTK con ricevitori GNSS geodetici

2012

Il potenziamento della costellazione satellitare GLONASS consente oggi di disporre di un sistema che ha raggiunto defacto la piena operatività fornendo un contributo importante in qualsiasi rilievo, soprattutto in presenza di ostruzionialla visibilità satellitare. Questo lavoro riporta i risultati di alcuni test di posizionamento effettuati con ricevitorigeodetici GNSS di ultima generazione di diverse case costruttrici al fine di valutare l'apporto che la costellazioneGLONASS può dare ai rilievi NRTK (Network Real Time Kinematic) in condizioni di geometria satellitare GPS critica.Evaluation of the contribution of the GLONASS constellation in GNSS geodetic positioning with NRTKThe strengthen…

Fixed point results for $GP_(Λ,Θ)$-contractive mappings

2014

In this paper, we introduce new notions of GP-metric space and $GP_(Λ,Θ)$-contractive mapping and then prove some fixed point theorems for this class of mappings. Our results extend and generalized Banach contraction principle to GP-metric spaces. An example shows the usefulness of our results.

Genetic structure and demographic inference of the regular sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri (Meissner, 1900) in the Southern Ocean: the role of the l…

2018

22 pages; International audience; One of the most relevant characteristics of the extant Southern Ocean fauna is its resiliency to survive glacial processes of the Quaternary. These climatic events produced catastrophic habitat reductions and forced some marine benthic species to move, adapt or go extinct. The marine benthic species inhabiting the Antarctic upper continental shelf faced the Quaternary glaciations with different strategies that drastically modified population sizes and thus affected the amount and distribution of intraspecific genetic variation. Here we present new genetic information for the most conspicuous regular sea urchin of the Antarctic continental shelf, Sterechinus…

Genomic Structure and in Vivo Expression of the Human Organic Anion Transporter 1 (hOAT1) Gene

2000

The human organic anion transporter 1 (hOAT1) plays a key role in the secretion of an array of potentially toxic organic anions including many clinically important drugs. Here we report on the genomic cloning of hOAT1. A human genomic library was used for screening of a PAC (P1 artificial chromosome) clone applying PCR techniques. Sequencing of several restriction subclones and of a PCR-generated clone revealed that the hOAT1 gene spans 8.2 kb and is composed of 10 exons divided by 9 introns. RT-PCR studies in a human kidney specimen led to the detection of two new splice variants, hOAT1-3 and hOAT1-4, showing a 132-bp in-frame deletion. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) we ma…

Serological identification and expression analysis of gastric cancer-associated genes

2002

Serological identification of tumour antigens by recombinant expression cloning has proved to be an effective strategy for the identification of cancer-associated genes having a relevance to cancer aetiology and progression, and for defining possible targets for immunotherapeutic intervention. In the present study we applied this technique to identify immunogenic proteins for gastric cancer that resulted in isolation of 14 distinct serum-reactive antigens. In order to evaluate their role in tumourigenesis and assess the immunogenicity of the identified antigens, we characterised each cDNA clone by DNA sequence analysis, mRNA tissue distribution, comparison of mRNA levels in cancerous and ad…

DNA sequence and pattern of expression of the sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) alpha-tubulin genes.

1989

To study the molecular aspects of the regulation of transcription of a multigene family, we have isolated and sequenced cDNA and genomic clones coding for the alpha-tubulin of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. Two cDNA clones, P alpha 10 and P alpha 4, contain respectively the coding information for 391 C-terminal and for 338 N-terminal amino acids of the 452 residues that constitute the complete protein. They show silent nucleotide substitutions only, suggesting that P alpha 10 and P alpha 4 represent the cloned copies of two allelic gene transcripts, which encode for two alpha-tubulin isoforms with identical amino acid sequence in the region of the overlap. The comparison of the predi…

Relative risk estimation of dengue disease at small spatial scale

2017

Abstract Background Dengue is a high incidence arboviral disease in tropical countries around the world. Colombia is an endemic country due to the favourable environmental conditions for vector survival and spread. Dengue surveillance in Colombia is based in passive notification of cases, supporting monitoring, prediction, risk factor identification and intervention measures. Even though the surveillance network works adequately, disease mapping techniques currently developed and employed for many health problems are not widely applied. We select the Colombian city of Bucaramanga to apply Bayesian areal disease mapping models, testing the challenges and difficulties of the approach. Methods…

On the Use of GPU for Accelerating Communication-Aware Mapping Techniques

2015

Different communication-aware mapping techniques were proposed in recent years for improving the performance of distributed systems based on both, off-chip and on-chip networks. Some of these proposals were based on heuristic search for finding pseudo-optimal assignments of tasks and processing elements. However, the technology integration improvements have allowed a significant increase in the number of network nodes, requiring the acceleration of the heuristic search. In this paper, we propose a comparative study of the local search method used in a communication-aware mapping technique, when implemented on different parallel architectures. We compare the performance provided by a version…

Reciprocal lower bound on modulus of curve families in metric surfaces

2019

We prove that any metric space $X$ homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^2$ with locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure satisfies a reciprocal lower bound on modulus of curve families associated to a quadrilateral. More precisely, let $Q \subset X$ be a topological quadrilateral with boundary edges (in cyclic order) denoted by $\zeta_1, \zeta_2, \zeta_3, \zeta_4$ and let $\Gamma(\zeta_i, \zeta_j; Q)$ denote the family of curves in $Q$ connecting $\zeta_i$ and $\zeta_j$; then $\text{mod} \Gamma(\zeta_1, \zeta_3; Q) \text{mod} \Gamma(\zeta_2, \zeta_4; Q) \geq 1/\kappa$ for $\kappa = 2000^2\cdot (4/\pi)^2$. This answers a question concerning minimal hypotheses under which a metric space admits a quasiconfor…
