A nanodosimetric model of radiation-induced clustered DNA damage yields
2010
International audience; We present a nanodosimetric model for predicting the yield of double strand breaks (DSBs) and non-DSB clustered damages induced in irradiated DNA. The model uses experimental ionization cluster size distributions measured in a gas model by an ion counting nanodosimeter or, alternatively, distributions simulated by a Monte Carlo track structure code developed to simulate the nanodosimeter. The model is based on a straightforward combinatorial approach translating ionizations, as measured or simulated in a sensitive gas volume, to lesions in a DNA segment of one-two helical turns considered equivalent to the sensitive volume of the nanodosimeter. The two model paramete…
Comments to the paper "do we really need new medical information about the Turin Shroud?".
2015
Abstract Following the interesting arguments raised in a recent letter to the editor, about a paper recently published in this journal, the authors are happy to take a cue from them to clarify some facts that have not been sufficiently treated for space. After a description of the methods used, arguments regarding a blunt trauma on the right shoulder with consequent dislocation, the position of the hands on the pubis with brachial plexus injury, and the wrist nailing that caused retracted thumbs are discussed in detail.

L'ammortamento alla francese: una questione di trasparenza
2023
Il saggio esamina i numerosi problemi posti dal c.d. metodo di ammortamento alla francese per osservare che buona parte dei problemi dibattuti sorgono dal difficile dialogo tra giuristi e matematici finanziari. Sotto il profilo giuridico rileva, in particolare, che l’ammor- tamento alla francese pone soprattutto problemi di trasparenza delle condizioni contrattuali e di comprensione, da parte del cliente, delle modalità di rimborso del capitale mutuato e dell’entità del debito residuo. The essay examines some problems posed by the so-called French amortization method to observe that most of the debated problems arise from the difficult dialogue between jurists and financial mathematicians. …

Present-day use of an empirical wave prediction method
2016
Knowledge of the offshore wave climate is key to the design of coastal engineering structures and to the study of shoreline evolution. To date, the available wave data have been limited both in time and space; even though there are several options for obtaining wave data calculated using complex numerical models at basin scale, design issues can in some cases be solved by means of simpler models. This paper shows whether, under certain conditions and in an enclosed basin, an old empirical model can provide results that are good enough to determine the design condition necessary for engineering purposes. The empirical model chosen to answer this question is called Sverdrup–Munk–Bretschneide…
Theory of the growth mode for a thin metallic film on an insulating substrate
2002
We have developed a novel theory predicting the growth mode of a thin metallic film on an insulating substrate. This combines ab initio electronic structure calculations for several ordered metal/insulator interfaces (varying both coverage and substrate lattice constant), with a thermodynamic approach based on microscopic calculations. We illustrate this approach for Ag film deposited on MgO(0 0 1) substrate. Ab initio calculations predict high mobility of adsorbed silver atoms on the perfect magnesia surface even at low temperatures. Our theoretical analysis clearly demonstrates that the growth of metallic islands is predominant at the initial stage of silver deposition, which agrees with …
Dans quelle mesure les préférences individuelles contraignent-elles le développement du marché de l'assurance dépendance ?
2015
Dans un contexte de vieillissement de la population, différents scenarii sont envisagés pour réformer l’organisation et le financement de la prise en charge des personnes âgées dépendantes. La place de la prévoyance individuelle dans le financement de la dépendance est à ce titre largement débattue. À l’heure actuelle, malgré des restes à charge potentiellement conséquents, peu d’individus disposent d’une couverture assurantielle. Cet article vise à enrichir la littérature existante en évaluant dans quelle mesure les préférences observées dans la population limitent cette couverture. Nous mobilisons pour cela l’enquête Patrimoine et préférences vis-à-vis du temps et du risque (Pater) de 201…
ChIP-Seq from Limited Starting Material of K562 Cells and Drosophila Neuroblasts Using Tagmentation Assisted Fragmentation Approach
2019
Chromatin immunoprecipitation is extensively used to investigate the epigenetic profile and transcription factor binding sites in the genome. However, when the starting material is limited, the conventional ChIP-Seq approach cannot be implemented. This protocol describes a method that can be used to generate the chromatin profiles from as low as 100 human or 1,000 Drosophila cells. The method employs tagmentation to fragment the chromatin with concomitant addition of sequencing adaptors. The method generates datasets with high signal to noise ratio and can be subjected to standard tools for ChIP-Seq analysis.
