Le valenze della Danza Movimento Terapia in presenza e a distanza. Corpo e relazioni durante la pandemia del COVID-19
2022
Elena Mignosi e Fernando Battista approfondiscono nella loro articolo le specificità della Danza Movimento Terapia (DMT) e i suoi numerosi ambiti applicativi (educativo, formativo clinico, terapeutico, sociale/inclusivo , riabilitativo). Conducono quindi una riflessione sulle modalità in presenza e da remoto, individuando quale efficacia possa avere partecipare ad un esperienza artisctico-creativa e corporea attraverso uno schermo. La pandemia da Covid 19 ha infatti reso necessario ripensare quelli che erano ritenuti i punti cardine del setting di DMT e di individuare nuove forme di interazione. Infine essi presentano brevemente i capitoli della rivista che costituiscono gli Atti del Conveg…

Revisiting the Nonadiabatic Process in 1,2-Dioxetane.
2015
Determining the ground and excited-state decomposition mechanisms of 1,2-dioxetane is essential to understand the chemiluminescence and bioluminescence phenomena. Several experimental and theoretical studies has been performed in the past without reaching a converged description. The reason is in part associated with the complex nonadiabatic process taking place along the reaction. The present study is an extension of a previous work (De Vico, L.; Liu, Y.-J.; Krogh, J. W.; Lindh, R. J. Phys. Chem. A 2007, 111, 8013-8019) in which a two-step mechanism was established for the chemiluminescence involving asynchronous O-O' and C-C' bond dissociations. New high-level multistate multi configurati…
Abel transforms with low regularity with applications to X-ray tomography on spherically symmetric manifolds
2017
We study ray transforms on spherically symmetric manifolds with a piecewise $C^{1,1}$ metric. Assuming the Herglotz condition, the X-ray transform is injective on the space of $L^2$ functions on such manifolds. We also prove injectivity results for broken ray transforms (with and without periodicity) on such manifolds with a $C^{1,1}$ metric. To make these problems tractable in low regularity, we introduce and study a class of generalized Abel transforms and study their properties. This low regularity setting is relevant for geophysical applications.
Endovenous ablation of refluxing saphenous and perforating veins.
2017
Abstract. Since the end of the nineties endovenous thermal ablation and more recently non-thermal, non-tumescent techniques have been developed and improved. Until now, because of their favourable side effect profile in conjunction to sustained efficacy, in many countries they already replaced high ligation and stripping in the treatment of refluxing saphenous veins as well as for treatment of perforators and selected tributaries. Now, studies and comparative trials are available with long-term follow-ups for most of the techniques, providing valid data on occlusion and reflux rates, side effect profiles, and health related quality of life.
ON THE CALCULATION OF THE HEAT CAPACITY IN PATH INTEGRAL MONTE CARLO SIMULATIONS
1992
In Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations the systems partition function is mapped to an equivalent classical one at the expense of a temperature-dependent Hamiltonian with an additional imaginary time dimension. As a consequence the standard relation linking the heat capacity Cv to the energy fluctuations, <E2>−<E>2, which is useful in standard classical problems with temperature-independent Hamiltonian, becomes invalid. Instead, it gets replaced by the general relation [Formula: see text] for the intensive heat capacity estimator; β being the inverse temperature and the subscript P indicates the P-fold discretization in the imaginary time direction. This heatcapacity estimator…
Interactions of amino acids with aluminum octacarboxyphthalocyanine hydroxide. Experimental and DFT studies
2017
The influence of albumin and amino acids (l-serine, glycine, l-histidine, l-tryptophan, l-cysteine) on the properties of aluminum octacarboxyphthalocyanine hydroxide (Al(OH)PcOC) was investigated in a phosphate buffer (pH 8.0). Particular attention was paid to the spectroscopic properties and photostability of Al(OH)PcOC. The effect of albumin or amino acids on the photodegradation of Al(OH)PcOC was examined in water using red light: 685 nm and daylight irradiation. Analysis of kinetic curves indicated that interaction with those molecules increases the photostability of Al(OH)PcOC. The molecular structure of Al(OH)PcOC complexes (in vacuum and in water) with axially or equatorially coordin…
Using Crowdsourcing to Overcome Barriers to Women Entrepreneurship
2015
This chapter presents crowdsourcing as a novel way of overcoming barriers facing women entrepreneurs, offering alternatives to conventional solutions. The study analyzes three barriers to women entrepreneurship: access to financing, access to specific management knowledge, and access to information and communication technologies (ICTs). For each barrier, a different form of crowdsourcing is proposed: crowdfunding, crowd wisdom, and crowdfunded media, respectively. Using these crowdsourcing tools, women entrepreneurs can overcome major difficulties when starting businesses.
Kasiski's Test: Couldn't the Repetitions be by Accident?
2006
Abstract In searching for repetitions in a periodic polyalphabetic ciphertext, we usually find several true (causal) repetitions that give information about the period. But we also find some accidental repetitions at distances unrelated to the period which may mislead the cryptanalyst. A simple formula shows that these accidents are rather unlikely.
Accuracy assessment and position correction for low-cost non-differential GPS as applied on an industrial peat bog
1999
A low-cost, non-differentially corrected hand-held GPS receiver was tested on an industrial peat production bog. A correction procedure (‘pseudo-differential correction’) was derived that corrected data points to the nearest position on a line defining the centre of each 15-m wide field. The result was a corrected log of track points for each field for all points lying along the field. It was found that the mean orthogonal distance from a field centreline was linearly correlated with mean uncorrected GPS data error (r 2 0.99) such that as GPS error increased so the accuracy obtained by correction decreased. For a signal with a mean uncorrected error of 30 m it was possible to reduce the err…
