Impact of non-programmable renewable sources in Day-Ahead Market in Sicily. Reasons to make more flexible and smarter the national transmission grid.
2014
This article describes technical and market aspects that characterize the Sicilian electrical system, the non-programmable renewable sources impacts on the energy markets (Day-Ahead Market and ancillary services market) and on Sicilian system operation, to evaluate the grid integration of renewable energy sources in a future Sicilian smart grid.
DYSPHORIC-LIKE BEHAVIOUR DURING ETHANOL WITHDRAWAL IN FEMALE RATS. EFFECT OF CONTINUOUS VS INTERMITTENT ACCESS PARADIGM.
2014
Women show higher vulnerability for neuroadaptation to alcohol, which may contribute to negative emotional state during withdrawal (Sharrett-Field et al., 2013; Koob and Le Moal, 1997). This study aimed at exploring the effects of different patterns of voluntary ethanol consumption on female rat"s affective behaviour during withdrawal. Female rats underwent 12-week-, 2-bottle choice- continuous or intermittent (3 days/week ) access to 20% ethanol and were respectively named CARs and IARs. They were tested for alcohol preference; dysphoric-like state during withdrawal (24-48h); depressive- and anhedonic-like behaviours explored by forced swim- and saccharin preference tests; anxiety-like beh…

Critical limb ischaemia: definition and natural hystory
2004
The term critical limb ischemia refers to a condition characterized by chronic ischemic at-rest pain, ulcers, or gangrene in one or both legs attributable to objectively proven arterial occlusive disease. Critical limb ischemia implies chronicity and is to be distinguished from acute limb ischemia. Its incidence is approximately 500 to 1000 per million year, with the highest rates among older subjects, smokers and diabetics. The rate of primary amputation ranges from 10% to 40%, and was performed only when no graftable distal vessels were present, or in neurologically impaired or hopelessly nonambulatory patients. Contrarily, in some highly specialized and aggressive centres about 90% of pa…
The nasus gland: A new gland in soldiers of Angularitermes (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae)
2015
Termites have developed many exocrine glands, generally dedicated to defence or communication. Although a few of these glands occur in all termite species, or represent synapomorphies of larger clades, others are morphological innovations of a single species, or a few related species. Here, we describe the nasus gland, a new gland occurring at the base of the nasus of Angularitermes soldiers. The nasus gland is composed of class 1, 2, and 3 secretory cells, a rare combination that is only shared by the sternal and tergal glands of some termites and cockroaches. The ultrastructural observations suggest that the secretion is produced by class 2 and 3 secretory cells, and released mostly by cl…

Intermitēta uztura režīma un fizisku vingrinājumu ietekme uz ķermeņa audu kompozīciju sievietēm
2020
Inermitētā badošanās pēdējā desmitgadē kļūst arvien populārāka un tiek pielietota kā viena no metodēm ķermeņa svara regulācijā. Ķermeņa svara un tauku masas regulācijas pasākumi gan pasaulē, gan Latvijā kļūst arvien aktuālāki, jo palielinās to cilvēku skaits, kas cieš no pārmērīgas tauku masas uzkrāšanās un ar to saistītām kardio-metabolajām un skeleta saslimšanām. Darba mērķis bija novērtēt, kura no metodēm - uztura režīma korekcija, mērķtiecīgi, regulāri fiziski vingrinājumi vai abu iepriekšējo metožu apvienošana, rada izteiktākas labvēlīgās izmaiņas ķermeņa audu kompozīcijā. Pētījumā piedalījās 25 sievietes vecumā no 35 - 50 gadiem. Viņas veidoja trīs pētījuma grupas, ar atšķirīgu pētīju…
The fine structure of colleterial glands in two cockroaches and three termites, including a detailed study of Cryptocercus punctulatus (Blattaria, Cr…

1873-5495 (Electronic) Journal Article Research Support, U.S. Gov't, Non-P.H.S.; The colleterial glands of insects are organs associated with the female genital apparatus. In cockroaches, these glands produce secretions that cover two parallel rows of eggs during oviposition, and in oviparous species, these secretions become the tanned, sculpted, rigid outer casing of the ootheca. The goal of this study was to compare the gross anatomy of the colleterial glands and the ultrastructure of their component tubules in the phylogenetically significant genera Cryptocercus (Blattaria) and Mastotermes (Isoptera). Recent studies indicate that cockroaches in the genus Cryptocercus are the sister group…
