The orosius arabicus and the arab vision of the graeco-roman world: researches on the mediterranean responsiveness

The very important topic of the transmission of the Greco-Roman knowledge to the medieval Islamic world has a very interesting appendix concerning historiography. Indeed, scholars have questioned several times about the reasons for the apparent Islamic lack of interest towards the western historical works, and formulated on this problem several assumptions.
For example, according to Franz Rosenthal, the Greek and Roman literature, impregnated as it was of polytheism, would have been suspect in the eyes of Muslim theologians (the scientific texts, indeed, didn’t arouse objections), which would have limited its diffusion and translation. According to Bernard Lewis, everything should instead be attributed to the absolute lack of intellectual curiosity of the “Muslim man”, resulting from its profound conviction of “finality, completeness, and essential self-sufficiency of his civilisation”.
In my book Storie Arabe di Greci e di Romani, released in 2009 (http://www.edizioniplus.it/italiano/AspFiles/libro.asp?codlibro=559), I tried to fill a gap in the field of studies on the forms of preservation of the Greek and Roman historiographical tradition in the Islamic culture. Now, I would like to concentrate my attention on a very important Arabic historical text, the Arabic translation of the Historiae adversus paganos by the Latin historiographer Paulus Orosius (5th century AD), known as Kitāb Hurušiyuš and survived through a unique manuscript preserved in the ""Rare Book and Manuscript Library"" of Columbia University (X, 893-712 H). This translation, made at the caliphal court of Cordoba in the 10th century AD, left a deep mark on Western Islamic historiography, coming to constitute for many Arab intellectuals a unique and fundamental access door to the Graeco-Roman world and to the ancient history of Europa.
Therefore, my project is to prepare a complete English translation of the Kitāb Hurūšiyūš, accompanied by a broad introduction, a philological and historical commentar
Current methods for setting catch limits for data-limited fish stocks in the United States

This paper examines how the requirement for annual catch limits (ACLs) has been implemented for data-limited stocks in all federally-managed fisheries in the United States. The legal mandate to establish ACLs in the U.S. has spurred substantial scientific advances, including the development and adoption of at least 16 methods for establishing catch limits for data-limited fisheries. This study analyzed the assessment methods that form the basis of ACLs, those which determine the overfishing limits (OFLs) and the acceptable biological catches (ABCs). Nationally, 30% (150) of OFLs/ABCs are currently calculated using conventional data-rich assessment methods, 11% (59) using data-moderate methods, and 59% (295) using data-poor approaches. There is substantial variation in the proportion of stocks that are currently managed with data-rich versus data-limited methods across regions, and there are clear geographical patterns in the types and diversity of methods being utilized to calculate OFLs/ABCs. Data-poor methods are the most commonly used OFL/ABC-setting methods in the U.S., particularly in the Southeast, Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS), Pacific, and Western Pacific regions. The Southeast and Atlantic HMS regions use some form of catch scalar or an ABC of zero landings for each data-limited stock. The Pacific and North Pacific regions currently employ a higher diversity of data-limited methods than any other region; these include both data-moderate methods and data-poor methods. Regional disparities in data-limited method development and implementation are attributed to regional differences in the number of stocks being managed, the data types and lengths of the time series available, and the resources dedicated to data processing and stock assessment. Recommendations for improving management of data-limited stocks include establishing a complete inventory of all available data for each managed stock, dedicating resources and expertise to data-limited method development and evaluation, and developing a more streamlined assessment process to handle the expanded volume of stocks requiring ACLs.
ROad safety in South East European regions 

Road safety is important for smooth accessibility of SEE regions. The road crash and injury tool within SEE regions accounts for social and economical losses affecting the development of South East European Space. In the EU 56% of road deaths occur on rural roads while 37% of fatalities are counted in built-up areas. 44% involves vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and riders of powered two-wheelers. ROSEE will support governments at the national and regional level in the selected South-East European regions to improve coordination in promoting, planning and operation of primary and secondary road networks with an emphasis on improving traffic safety performance and network accessibility. When networks are managed well, road crashes are infrequent and the severity of road crash injuries can be reduced. ROSEE has a two pronged approach: 1) On Primary networks the project will work with relevant national stakeholders to develop or strengthen mechanisms for including road safety as a standard in the planning and operation of the network and to define road safety objectives for the primary network in each country. To do this and to ensure synergies with other relevant disciplines, the project will establish a forum for regular dialogue and coordination that includes the relevant agencies such as roads, transport and interior. 2) On Secondary networks, the project will work with relevant national, regional and municipal stakeholders to design and test a model approach for strengthening road safety in the planning and operation of key segments of the secondary networks. This will include identifying a high-risk segment of the secondary network, agreeing with relevant decision-makers the key road safety objectives for the road segment and developing a multi-component strategy that outlines an action plan. This approach will be replicable and inform the content of future investment proposals.

Redoxal, an inhibitor of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, augments APOBEC3G antiviral activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1

APOBEC3G (A3G) is a cytidine deaminase that restricts HIV-1 replication by inducing G-to-A hypermutation in viral DNA; deamination-independent mechanisms are also implicated. HIV-1 Vif protein counteracts A3G by inducing its proteasomal degradation. Thus, the Vif–A3G axis is a potential therapeutic target. To identify compounds that inhibit Vif:A3G interaction, a 307,520 compound library was tested in a TR-FRET screen. Two identified compounds, redoxal and lomofungin, inhibited HIV-1 replication in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Lomofungin activity was linked to A3G, but not pursued further due to cytotoxicity. Redoxal displayed A3G-dependent restriction, inhibiting viral replication by stabilizing A3G protein levels and increasing A3G in virions. A3G-independent activity was also detected. Treatment with uridine or orotate, intermediates of pyrimidine synthesis, diminished redoxal-induced stabilization of A3G and antiviral activity. These results identify redoxal as an inhibitor of HIV-1 replication and suggest its ability to inhibit pyrimidine biosynthesis suppresses viral replication by augmenting A3G antiviral activity. • Screening compounds identified redoxal as an inhibitor of HIV Vif-A3G interaction. • Redoxal inhibits DHODH, an essential enzyme for pyrimidine biosynthesis. • Redoxal augments A3G antiviral activity by stabilizing A3G protein. • Redoxal is an inhibitor of HIV replication that increases A3G antiviral activity.
An astrochemical study of the early evolutionary stages of sub-stellar mass objects

Astrochemistry is an inter-disciplinary field that provides an insight into the complex physical and chemical processes at play during the early evolutionary stages in star-formation. Over the last decade, while astrochemical studies have been conducted to understand the early evolutionary stages in high- and low-mass stars, similar work is essentially missing for the least massive stars, called brown dwarfs (BDs). BDs are ‘sub-stellar’ objects with insufficient mass to burn hydrogen in their cores and shine like stars, but are found as abundantly as Sun-like stars in star-forming regions, making them an equally vital constituent of our Galaxy. ABDES is an innovative inter-disciplinary project, which will deliver radically new advancements in our understanding of the astrochemical processes that occur during the early evolutionary stages in BD-formation. The objectives of ABDES are to characterize the physical and chemical structure of early-stage BDs, and study the fundamental role played by the accretion and outflow processes in shaping their evolution. With the advent of high-class telescopes and instruments with unparalleled sensitivities, it is now feasible to probe deep into the early evolutionary stages of BDs. To achieve these objectives, I have built the largest sample to date of early-stage BDs, using a new set of deep, high-sensitivity, multi-wavelength observations. ABDES will combine these observations with chemical/physical modelling techniques, and provide the first measurements on the astrochemical properties of early-stage BDs. Being an inter-disciplinary research division, the Centre for Astrochemical Studies at MPE, under the supervision of Prof. Caselli, is a great fit to this project, and provides excellent expertise and infrastructure for its successful implementation. ABDES is a pioneering study that will highlight the origins of the faintest stars in our Galaxy, and complete our understanding of star-formation toward the lowest mass end.
Thermodynamic Stability of an Aging Proteome

How much oxidative damage can a proteome withstand before a critical threshold is reached? What defines this threshold? The accumulation of oxidized protein is a universal feature of an aging organism, however a quantitative understanding of the effects of physiological levels of oxidation on proteome stability is lacking.Taking advantage of a growing body of data on length, charge, and stability distributions of entire proteomes, we develop a first-principles thermodynamic model of the effects of oxidation on the stability of proteins within an aging cell. By determining the equilibrium fraction of unfolded protein as a function of both oxidative stress and temperature, we predict that a small subset of proteins is largely responsible for straining an organism's protein homeostasis machinery. Furthermore, by looking at functional enrichment within this subset, we identify the protein classes that are expected to be the most sensitive to oxidation-induced destabilization.

Resistant and Emergent Pathogens in Food Products

The discovery of antibiotics and other antimicrobials, and their widespread application in human medicine since the middle of the twentieth century has saved millions of human lives. Additionally, their application in veterinary medicine and especially in food science has constituted an important way of controlling the dispersion of microbial pathogens. This has played a major role not only in the dramatic increase in average life expectancy in humans, but also in extending the “shelf life” of foods; however, antibiotic overuse and misuse, together with the microbial ability to share DNA by horizontal gene transfer, have resulted in the generation of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains that quickly spread throughout the world. As a result, the antibiotic of choice can be rendered totally ineffective both in human therapy and as a food additive. The focus of this chapter is a handful of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria that are developing antibiotic resistance and represent a major hazard in food preservation.
Particle filtering and its application for multipath mitigation with GNSS receivers

This paper investigates the application of multipath mitigation algorithms in the context of Global Navigation Satellite Systems receivers. We resort to particle filtering to track the evolving parameters of either the line-of-sight signal and its multipath replicas. The considered architecture consists of a multicorrelation scheme, focused on the tracking of one of the visible satellites. In contrast to other works, here we explore the use of antenna arrays for the problem and setup at hand. Particularly, we study and compare two signal models: (i) one explicitly including the multipath replicas and (ii) another which includes the contribution of multipath in the noise term. The concept is assessed by computer simulations.

Artritis idiopática juvenil

La artritis idiopática juvenil (AIJ) es una enfermedad crónica definida por la International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) como la artritis en una o más articulaciones que comienza antes de los 16 años y persiste durante al menos 6 semanas, tras excluir otras causas de artritis. Es la enfermedad reumática más frecuente en niños y una de las enfermedades crónicas más frecuentes en la infancia. Su etiología y patogenia no se conoce por completo, aunque los trabajos realizados sugieren una base autoinmune. Los últimos estudios han destacado la importancia de realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoces con el objeto de mejorar los resultados. A pesar de ello, muchos niños continúan con artritis activa en la edad adulta. El tratamiento actual exige un abordaje multidisciplinar. En los últimos años nuevos fármacos biológicos han mejorado el tratamiento de los niños con AIJ. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic disease defined by the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) criteria as arthritis in one or more joints that begins before the 16th birthday, persists for at least 6 weeks, and excludes all other known conditions. It is the most common rheumatic disease in children and one of the more common chronic illnesses of childhood. The etiology and pathogenesis of JIA is not completely understood, but substantial evidence suggests that the pathogenesis is autoimmune. Outcome studies have underlined the importance of early diagnosis and early aggressive treatment in improving prognosis. Despite this situation, many children with JIA continue to have persistently active arthritis into adulthood. The modern treatment of JIA involves a range of specialists. In recent years, new biologic medications have added significantly to the management of children with JIA.
Towards a new framework for reception: gongora’s poetics, ‘new’ readers and the material world

Luis de Góngora’s (1561-1627) two major compositions, Polifemo and Soledades (1613) represent a watershed in the trajectory of Spanish poetics; prompting a polemic over their stylistic innovations that would continue for three centuries. To date there has been suppression of the polemic’s politico-ideological underpinnings and undisputed acceptance that Góngora’s poetry was written to be read by an aristocratic, erudite elite. Consequently research on the reception of his work has been conceptually constrained and confined within the rigid parameters of documents relating to the controversy. The primary aim of this project is to challenge these fundamental assumptions of readership and reception and to propose a new methodological framework which has at its core a confluence of: (a) archival investigation; (b) analysis (qualitative and quantitative) of material evidence with digitalised data presentation; (c) a sophisticated theoretical underpinning that conceptualises literary reception within the wider tensions of socio-cultural self-constitution. The key sustaining hypothesis is that Góngora’s ‘new’ readers were not restricted to the intellectually-renovated receivers anticipated by the poet, but encompassed ‘other’ recipients drawn from a much broader socio-cultural spectrum (archival research carried out by the researcher informs this). Outputs include a journal article, a project website with open-access database, a book-length study and the organisation of an international conference. In line with MSCA objectives the project will enable a transfer of knowledge and interdisciplinary skills of mutual benefit to researcher and host; strengthen the contact networks of both, and enhance the career opportunities of the researcher through international exposure and inter-sectoral mobility. The project will promote collaboration between researchers, archivists and librarians, thus contributing to the recuperation of a significant aspect of Spain’s cultural heritage.-

The impact of the ancient city

The aim of the project is to re-examine the impact of urbanism in the Greco-Roman Mediterranean on subsequent urban history, both locally, in the impact of individual cities that survive into modern times on their development, and globally in the impact of ideas of ancient urbanism derived both from writings and the visible remains of ancient cities on urban formation and development, both within and beyond the Mediterranean area. What leaves this field wide open for investigation is the collapse of an older thesis that saw orthogonal planning as the most distinctive and significant contribution of antiquity to subsequent urban development. The explicitly colonialist underpinnings of that thesis, which saw the Roman empire as a model for modern imperialism, and which rejected the urbanism of the Islamic world as the antithesis to its form of 'civilization', have rendered it unsustainable. This project aims to rethink the issue fundamentally. There is evident discontinuity between the cities of antiquity and their medieval and modern successors, variously represented as a catastrophic collapse or a creative transformation: resilience theory provides a framework within which to see both catastrophe and continuity as parts of a cycle of adaptive response to ecological change. The project aims to investigate patterns of response and adaption across time in areas of the Mediterranean with contrasting subsequent histories, most obviously across the divide between Christian Europe and the Islamic world, by taking a series of detailed case histories in Italy, the western and eastern Mediterranean, and asking a set of questions about how changing urban form responds to changing social needs. It will also re-examine the role of Greek and Roman writing in the history of thought about and representation of urbanism in the European and Islamic traditions. Finally it will use Rome and Constantinople/Istanbul as major case studies of the role of social memory in urban continuity.
