Pojęcia definicji i quasi-definicji perswazyjnej
2016
Charles L. Stevenson w swoim dobrze znanym artykule pt. Persuasive definitions wprowadza pojęcie definicji perswazyjnej – narzędzia argumentacyjnego, które umożliwia mówcy zmianę preferencji i postawy słuchaczy poprzez zmianę treści pojęciowej (znaczenia opisowego) definiowanego słowa. Na marginesie tej analizy wprowadzone zostaje także pojęcie quasi-definicji perswazyjnej. Dzięki temu narzędziu zmieniającym znaczenie pojęciowe, można zmienić lub zniszczyć znaczenie emotywne quasi-definiowanego słowa. To, co sprawia, że użytkowanie tych narzędzi argumentacyjnych jest możliwe, to przede wszystkim brak wyraźnej treści znaczeniowej terminów, które mają być zdefiniowane perswazyjnie lub quasi-p…
Electrochemical production and use of chlorinated oxidants for the treatment of wastewater contaminated by organic pollutants and disinfection
2021
Abstract In the last years, an increasing attention has been devoted to the use of electrogenerated chlorinated oxidants for the treatment of wastewater polluted by recalcitrant organics and/or for the disinfection of water contaminated by pathogen microorganisms. In this review, more recent and relevant findings were presented and critically discussed. The main advantages and disadvantages of this technique were commented, including the potential formation of toxic chlorinated organic specie and of chlorate and perchlorate or the difficult selection of proper operative parameters, as well as the key points that should be addressed to enhance the use on an applicative scale.
Halloysite based geopolymers filled with wax microparticles as sustainable building materials with enhanced thermo-mechanical performances
2022
This work proposes a novel protocol for the fabrication of halloysite based geopolymers filled with beeswax microparticles obtained from Pickering emulsions. The actual filling of the microwax into the geopolymers has been demonstrated by using several techniques, including thermal analyses, spectroscopies, microscopies and contact angle experiments. According to the morphological and structural investigations, microwax spherical particles (diameter ranging between ca. 3 and 5 μm) have been homogeneously dispersed within the geopolymeric network conferring excellent properties to the hybrid geopolymers in terms of mechanical performances and heat storage capacity although their low content …
Profili di personalità in pazienti con disturbi del comportamento alimentare: uno studio con la SWAP-200.
2012
Introduzione: Osservazioni cliniche hanno suggerito la presenza di una relazione tra personalità e DCA ed evidenze empiriche hanno confermato la presenza di livelli di comorbilità tra DCA e PD che variano dal 27% al 97% (Vrabel et al., 2010). In linea con le indicazioni presenti in letteratura (De Bolle et al., 2010), obiettivo del presente studio è di valutare in soggetti con diagnosi DCA, o con condotte alimentari scorrette, lo stile di personalità prevalente (sia in termini categoriali sia dimensionali). Metodo: La valutazione della personalità è stata effettuata da 12 psicologi clinici e psicoterapeuti, di diversi orientamenti teorici, che hanno compilato la SWAP-200 (Westen et al., 200…
Building high-quality assay libraries for targeted analysis of SWATH MS data
2015
Targeted proteomics by selected/multiple reaction monitoring (S/MRM) or, on a larger scale, by SWATH (sequential window acquisition of all theoretical spectra) MS (mass spectrometry) typically relies on spectral reference libraries for peptide identification. Quality and coverage of these libraries are therefore of crucial importance for the performance of the methods. Here we present a detailed protocol that has been successfully used to build high-quality, extensive reference libraries supporting targeted proteomics by SWATH MS. We describe each step of the process, including data acquisition by discovery proteomics, assertion of peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs), generation of consensus sp…
Two-dimensional Noncommutative Swanson Model and Its Bicoherent States
2019
We introduce an extended version of the Swanson model, defined on a two-dimensional noncommutative space, which can be diagonalized exactly by making use of pseudo-bosonic operators. Its eigenvalues are explicitly computed and the biorthogonal sets of eigenstates of the Hamiltonian and of its adjoint are explicitly constructed.We also show that it is possible to construct two displacement-like operators from which a family of bi-coherent states can be obtained. These states are shown to be eigenstates of the deformed lowering operators, and their projector allows to produce a suitable resolution of the identity in a dense subspace of \(\mathcal{L}^\mathrm{2}\, (\mathbb{R}^\mathrm{2})\).
From pseudo-bosons to pseudo-Hermiticity via multiple generalized Bogoliubov transformations
2016
We consider the special type of pseudo-bosonic systems that can be mapped to standard bosons by means of generalized Bogoliubov transformation and demonstrate that a pseudo-Hermitian systems can be obtained from them by means of a second subsequent Bogoliubov transformation. We employ these operators in a simple model and study three different types of scenarios for the constraints on the model parameters giving rise to a Hermitian system, a pseudo-Hermitian system in which the second the Bogoliubov transformations is equivalent to the associated Dyson map and one in which we obtain D-quasi bases.
Brain Slow Potentials and Postural Sway Behavior During Sharpshooting Performance.
1999
In the present study, the relation of preparatory brain slow potentials (SPs) to postural body sway during sharpshooting performance was examined. SPs from frontal, left-central, and right-central areas were recorded from 6 elite and 6 non-elite sharpshooters during a realistic simulated shooting task. A force platform technique was used in the recording of postural sway. The results showed that body sway, as indexed by sway amplitude and mean velocity, was associated with the concomitant SP changes. That relationship was dependent on the shooter's expertise level, however. The main finding among the elite shooters was that the reduced amplitude of body sway coincided with reduced frontal p…
Oropharyngeal dysphagia: when swallowing disorders meet respiratory diseases
2017
We were very interested in the comments made by I. Cavedies and co-workers regarding our paper entitled “Oropharyngeal dysphagia: when swallowing disorders meet respiratory diseases” [1].
Postoperative non-invasive assessment of pulmonary vascular resistance using Doppler echocardiography.
2011
Non-invasive monitoring of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in postoperative cardiac surgery patients might be useful, particularly for management of pulmonary hypertension. For this purpose, we sought to assess Doppler echocardiography in the intensive care setting. In 73 patients, hemodynamics was measured using both, invasive gold standard (pulmonary artery catheter), and non-invasively by Doppler echocardiography. Four Doppler parameters: (1) tricuspid regurgitant velocity/time-velocity-integral of right ventricular outflow tract (TRV/VTI(RVOT)), (2) tricuspid annular systolic velocity (S'), (3) tricuspid annular strain, and (4) tricuspid annular strain rate, were compared with invas…
