description: Background:Liver dysfunction is one of the earliest high-risk markers for multi-organ failure (MOF) in patients with sepsis. In a recent study, using a murine model, we demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection provokes hepatic microvascular dysfunction, associated with marked endothelitis in perisinusoidal areas. Furthermore, endothelial dysfunction drives vascular derangement and organ failure associated with sepsis. However, the consequences of sepsis on liver sinusoidal endothelial function are unknown. Statins might improve microvascular dysfunction in sepsis. The present study explores liver vascular abnormalities and the effects of statins in a rat model of endotoxemia. Methods: For this purpose, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or saline was given to: (1) rats treated with placebo; (2) rats treated with simvastatin (25 mg/kg, orally), given at 3 and 23 hours after LPS/saline challenge; (3) rats treated with simvastatin (25 mg/kg/24 h, orally) from 3 days before LPS/saline injection. Liver microvascular function was assessed by molecular studies and liver function tests. Results: At 24 h, LPS induced liver endothelial dysfunction, as shown by a decreased of thrombomodulin and a increase of fibrin. Treatment with simvastatin from 3 days before LPS prevented the increase of fibrin. Conclusions: LPS administration induces intrahepatic endothelial dysfunction that might be prevented by simvastatin, suggesting that statins might have potential for liver protection during endotoxemia.

description: The researches on cinema performer have increased in the last years. During the silent era the actor was a central issue of the theorists agenda, but after the Second World War it has been studied almost merely as a sociological or iconographic matter. The actor, still nowadays, strongly conditions the choice of seeing a movie, but the scholars have often preferred to focus on style, authorship, direction and other subjects. My project intends to analyze the difference between the 1910s European performers and the Early cinema actors, but primarily I would give attention to the 1910s and avant-garde performers of the European cinema as distinguish feature in relation to Hollywood cinema. The Italian silent cinema of the 1910 is one of the historical contexts of the analysis, while the 1920s reflection on cinema performing is the theoretical reference to formulate new hypothesis on European silent actor. My work aims also at putting the study of the actor into a perspective including the relation between cinema and the other arts, the stardom and the anthropological matters. Asta Nielsen has been the first female star of world cinema. Her name is strictly connected with the advent of the long feature film and the introduction of the star system. Asta Nielsen?s international film career started in Germany with the introduction of the Monopolfilm, the monopoly rental system, in late 1910 and continued in many country. Starting from the analysis of the incredible success of Asta Nielsen?s films in the local context of Z�rich, considering the presuppositions and consequences of this popularity, also in comparison with other contexts, I will examine the emergence and the strengthening of film actor in Europe as the main component of the cinematic experience since 1910. Experience that should be understood as a particular way with which the cinematographic institution make a film consumable for a spectator. Consequently, my research aims to study the aspects of cinema going, film aesthetic and film reception during 1910s, which involves directly the discovery of film actor and film acting.

title: Mean-Square Error Bounds and Perfect Sampling for Conditional Coding
Creators: name: Cui, Xiangchen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: In this dissertation, new theoretical results are obtained for bounding convergence and mean-square error in conditional coding. Further new statistical methods for the practical application of conditional coding are developed.
Criteria for the uniform convergence are first examined. Conditional coding Markov chains are aperiodic, π-irreducible, and Harris recurrent. By applying the general theories of uniform ergodicity of Markov chains on genera l state space, one can conclude that conditional coding Markov cha ins are uniformly ergodic and further, theoretical convergence rates based on Doeblin's condition can be found.
Conditional coding Markov chains can be also viewed as having finite state space. This allows use of techniques to get bounds on the second largest eigenvalue which lead to bounds on convergence rate and the mean-square error of sample averages. The results are applied in two examples showing that these bounds are useful in practice.
Next some algorithms for perfect sampling in conditional coding are studied. An application of exact sampling to the independence sampler is shown to be equivalent to standard rejection sampling. In case of single-site updating, traditional perfect sampling is not directly applicable when the state space has large cardinality and is not stochastically ordered, so a new procedure is developed that gives perfect samples at a predetermined confidence interval.
In last chapter procedures and possibilities of applying conditional coding to mixture models are explored. Conditional coding can be used for analysis of a finite mixture model. This methodology is general and easy to use.

description: Nowadays, everyone is very busy and running around trying to maintain a balance between their work life and family, as the working hours are increasing day by day. In such hassled life people either ignore or do not give enough attention to a healthy diet. An imperative part of a healthy eating routine is the cognizance and maintenance of nourishing data and comprehension of how extraordinary sustenance and nutritious constituents influence our bodies. Besides in the USA, in many other countries, nutritional information is fundamentally passed on to consumers through nutrition labels (NLs) which can be found in all packaged food products in the form of nutrition table. However, sometimes it turns out to be challenging to utilize this information available in these NLs notwithstanding for consumers who are health conscious as they may not be familiar with nutritional terms and discover it hard to relate nutritional information into their day by day activities because of lack of time, inspiration, or training. So it is essential to automate this information gathering and interpretation procedure by incorporating Machine Learning based algorithm to abstract nutritional information from NLs on the grounds that it enhances the consumer’s capacity to participate in nonstop nutritional information gathering and analysis.

description: Integrating real data into a classroom is one of the recommendations in the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) college report which lays out guidelines for an introductory statistics course (Committee, GAISE College Report ASA Revision, 2016). In order to assess the effect of using real data in a classroom, the students received physical activity trackers to wear during an undergraduate introductory statistics course taught in the summer. This tracker, a Fitbit, enabled students to monitor and record their steps, calories, and active time throughout the class. Collecting personal activity data (PAD) creates a large database which students can then analyze and use to build statistical thinking. Since the students are intimately familiar with the data they gathered, they could focus on the patterns they saw in the data based on their own personal experiences. With this data, the students completed tasks that asked them to analyze their physical activity using methods including summary statistics and bivariate analysis. These projects encouraged students to think about problems that arise from data collection and analysis in real life situations. We saw that using PAD helped the tasks become more personal, increased interest and engagement, and reinforced the material taught in class.

description: Abstract

Thalassemia can be hereditary within a family. Individuals with Thalassaemia, an inherited condition, require specific medical attention and care. The primary objective of this study is to provide families with knowledge about how thalassemia plays a crucial role in the preventive program. By doing so, we want to address the potential negative implications of thalassemia on the mental well-being of families. This education initiative serves as the initial step in the thalassemia prevention program. The approach employed in this module's research and development involves using a mixed research method (mixed-method) for data collection. They are explicitly doing research using a blend of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The mixed research method is employed due of its ability to generate both quantitative and qualitative data. The study's findings demonstrated that the assistance provided had an impact on the anxiety levels of parents who were responsible for the care of children with a history of thalassemia. According to the research findings, it is advisable to provide nursing care for parents, particularly for children with Thalassemia Major. In this situation, it is crucial to have support from the family and the surrounding environment to ensure the correct growth and development of these children.
title: A Complicated Peace: Nationalism and Antisemitism in Interwar Poland
Creators: name: Dobrowolska, Joanna
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis examines the roots of antisemitic rhetoric expressed by Polish nationalists between 1918 and 1939. I argue that nationalist rhetoric and political campaigns during this period focused on calling for Poles to defend themselves against Jewish economic and political domination. The first half of this work utilizes pamphlets, books, newspaper articles, and other written works wherein Polish nationalists, in particular members of the National Democratic Party(NDP), expressed a fear of Polish Jews and called for their eviction from the country. Fear that Poland, a country that had been partitioned by surrounding empires for the past two centuries, would not last long as an independent country were central in the rhetoric of these authors. In their eyes, Jews threatened Poland’s already compromised political and economic position. Throughout the 1930s, the NDP and other nationalist groups began to call for Jews to emigrate.
The second half of this thesis uses three Polish counties (Siedlce, Sokołów Podlaski, and Węgrów) as a case study to examine the effects of the NDP’s campaign of boycotting Jewish businesses. All three counties had large Jewish populations concentrating in mostly urban areas. I undertake this study by examining reports produced by the Starosta Powiatowy, a state official in charge of describing political activities, crimes, and other major events in a given county. The reports revealed that there was a correlation between the increase in the NDP agitating for boycotts in 1936 and increased reports of Jewish families being terrorized by people breaking their windows.
By examining these dynamics, I illuminate some of the political, cultural, and economic forces that contributed to the rise of antisemitism in interwar Poland. In addition to emphasizing the NDP’s language of national self-defense, thesis also highlights some of the impacts of this rhetoric.
title: Comparing Nonlinear and Nonparametric Modeling Techniques for Mapping and Stratification in Forest Inventories of the Interior Western USA

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: Recent emphasis has been placed on merging regional forest inventory data with satellite-based information both to improve the efficiency of estimates of population totals, and to produce regional maps of forest variables. There are numerous ways in which forest class and structure variables may be modeled as functions of remotely sensed variables, yet surprisingly little work has been directed at surveying modem statistical techniques to determine which tools are best suited to the tasks given multiple objectives and logistical constraints. Here, a series of analyses to compare nonlinear and nonparametric modeling techniques for mapping a variety of forest variables, and for stratification of field plots, was conducted using data in the Interior Western United States. The analyses compared four statistical modeling techniques for predicting two discrete and four continuous forest inventory variables. The modeling techniques include generalized additive models (GAMs), classification and regression trees (CARTs), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and artificial neural networks (ANNs). Alternative stratification schemes were also compared for estimating population totals. The analyses were conducted within six ecologically different regions using a variety of satellite-based predictor variables. The work resulted in the development of an objective modeling box that automatically models spatial response variables as functions of any assortment of predictor variables through the four nonlinear or nonparametric modeling techniques. In comparing the different modeling techniques, all proved themselves workable in an automated environment, though ANNs were more problematic. When their potential mapping ability was explored through a simple simulation, tremendous advantages were seen in use of MARS and ANN for prediction over GAMs, CART, and a simple linear model. However, much smaller differences were seen when using real data. In some instances, a simple linear approach worked virtually as well as the more complex models, while small gains were seen using more complex models in other instances. In real data runs, MARS performed (marginally) best most often for binary variables, while GAMs performed (marginally) best most often for continuous variables. After considering a subjective "ease of use" measure, computing time and other predictive performance measures, it was determined that MARS had many advantages over other modeling techniques. In addition, stratification tests illustrated cost-effective means to improve precision of estimates of forest population totals. Finally, the general effect of map accuracy on the relative precision of estimates of population totals obtained under simple random sampling compared to that obtained under stratified random sampling was established and graphically illustrated as a tool for management decisions.

description: Diet of cougars (Felis concolor) was studied from December 1978 to August 1981, on a 4500 km2 study area near Escalante, Utah. Prey eaten was determined from analysis of 112 animals consumed as prey, and from 239 cougar scats. Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) were the major prey item, comprising 81% of biomass consumed. Lagomorphs, large rodents, and smaller predators were also important components. Cattle comprised
Motion-sensitive radio-transmitters were placed on 15 cougars, from 3 months to 7-9 years of age. Three parameters of the radio signal were used to determine activity levels during 6843 1-minute sampling periods: number of changes in pulse rate, predominant pulse mode, and signal integrity, based on 308 minutes of "known" acti vity. Cougars showed distinct crepuscular (sunrise, sunset ± 2 hrs) activity peaks (P
Estimates of energetic costs of basal metabolism, and of activity, growth, and reproduction were used in a predictive model of energy cost of free-existence. Information on dietary composition, live weight and energy content of prey animals, and assimilation efficiencies were used to provide estimates of the frequency at which deer were killed (deer/day) and consumed (kg/day). Single adults were estimated to kill 1 deer per 8-16 days. Females with 3 large cubs would kill 1 deer as often as every 2-3 days. A known population of 8 adult cougars was predicted to consume 417 deer per year.

description: Corrections-involved adults with a history of opioid use disorder are at elevated risk of opioid overdose following release from correctional settings. Increased opioid prescribing restrictions and monitoring during a time when heroin is becoming cheaper and ubiquitous means that adults who misused prescription opioids prior to incarceration may be reentering communities at greater risk for heroin exposure and use. Determine risk factors of post-release heroin use among a sample of adults who participated in corrections-based drug treatment in Kentucky released between 2012 and 2017. Survey data obtained as part of an ongoing evaluation of corrections-based drug treatment were examined. The final sample (N = 1,563) was majority male (80.9%). Nearly 11.0% reported past-year heroin use following their release. Depressive symptoms, polydrug use, and urban proximity were more common among participants reporting post-release heroin use. Heroin use 30 days prior to incarceration was associated with a 432.1% increase in odds of heroin use subsequent to incarceration. Post-release suicidal ideation increased odds of heroin use by 154.2%, whereas reporting satisfaction from social interactions decreased odds of use by nearly 60%. Post-release use of cocaine and diverted buprenorphine were associated with increased likelihood of heroin use during this time period, increasing odds by 469.1% and 265.9%, respectively. Residing in Central Appalachia subsequent to incarceration was associated with decreased likelihood of use. In this sample, post-release heroin use was associated with concerning features, such as polydrug use, lack of social satisfaction, and suicidal ideation. These features can serve as clear targets for clinical intervention.
Heterosis in maize (Zea mays, L.): characterization of heterotic quantitative trait loci (QTL) for agronomic traits in near isogenic lines (NILs) and their testcrosses

description: In a previous study on maize (Zea mays, L.) several quantitative trait loci (QTL) showing high dominance-additive ratio for agronomic traits were identified in a population of recombinant inbred lines derived from B73 × H99. For four of these mapped QTL, namely 3.05, 4.10, 7.03 and 10.03 according to their chromosome and bin position, families of near-isogenic lines (NILs) were developed, i.e., couples of homozygous lines nearly identical except for the QTL region that is homozygote either for the allele provided by B73 or by H99. For two of these QTL (3.05 and 4.10) the NILs families were produced in two different genetic backgrounds. The present research was conducted in order to: (i) characterize these QTL by estimating additive and dominance effects; (ii) investigate if these effects can be affected by genetic background, inbreeding level and environmental growing conditions (low vs. high plant density). The six NILs’ families were tested across three years and in three Experiments at different inbreeding levels as NILs per se and their reciprocal crosses (Experiment 1), NILs crossed to related inbreds B73 and H99 (Experiment 2) and NILs crossed to four unrelated inbreds (Experiment 3). Experiment 2 was conducted at two plant densities (4.5 and 9.0 plants m-2). Results of Experiments 1 and 2 confirmed previous findings as to QTL effects, with dominance-additive ratio superior to 1 for several traits, especially for grain yield per plant and its component traits; as a tendency, dominance effects were more pronounced in Experiment 1. The QTL effects were also confirmed in Experiment 3. The interactions involving QTL effects, families and plant density were generally negligible, suggesting a certain stability of the QTL. Results emphasize the importance of dominance effects for these QTL, suggesting that they might deserve further studies, using NILs’ families and their crosses as base materials.
title: Some Factors which May Influence Survival of Game Farm-Reared Pheasants after Release into the Wild
Creators: name: Cottle, Taylor F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1950

description: This study was undertaken in an attempt to determine some of the factors which may influence the survival of Utah game farm-reared pheasants following their release into the wild. The survival of these birds is below the desired level after they are released, as is indicated by the low percentage taken by the sportsmen during the hunting season. In recent years the return from released game farm-reared pheasants is about 7 to 8 percent. Consequently, if survival rate of these birds could be increased, more birds would be available to supplement the wild stock. Also, an increase in the pheasant population throughout the state would make more birds available to sportsmen during the hunting season.

We review the mechanism to generate unparticle spectra in the context of warped soft-wall models. Gauge invariance can be simply implemented and unitarity of the longitudinal WW scattering amplitude is particularly transparent. Furthermore, the 5D approach uncovers a broader spectrum of phenomenological possibilities. The Unhiggs is accompanied by another continuum formed by Kaluza-Klein excitations of the Standard Model gauge fields which, in some cases, may take over the leading role in unitarizing WW scattering.

description: We present a direct and simple method for the computation of the total scattering matrix of an arbitrary finite noncompact connected quantum graph given its metric structure and local scattering data at each vertex. The method is inspired by the formalism of Reflection-Transmission algebras and quantum field theory on graphs though the results hold independently of this formalism. It yields a simple and direct algebraic derivation of the formula for the total scattering and has a number of advantages compared to existing recursive methods. The case of loops (or tadpoles) is easily incorporated in our method. This provides an extension of recent similar results obtained in a completely different way in the context of abstract graph theory. It also allows us to discuss briefly the inverse scattering problem in the presence of loops using an explicit example to show that the solution is not unique in general. On top of being conceptually very easy, the computational advantage of the method is illustrated on two examples of "three-dimensional" graphs (tetrahedron and cube) for which other methods are rather heavy or even impractical.

description: It is commonly accepted that there are no phase transitions in one-dimensional (1D) systems at a finite temperature, because long-range correlations are destroyed by thermal fluctuations. Here we demonstrate that the 1D gas of short-range interacting bosons in the presence of disorder can undergo a finite temperature phase transition between two distinct states: fluid and insulator. None of these states has long-range spatial correlations, but this is a true albeit non-conventional phase transition because transport properties are singular at the transition point. In the fluid phase the mass transport is possible, whereas in the insulator phase it is completely blocked even at finite temperatures. We thus reveal how the interaction between disordered bosons influences their Anderson localization. This key question, first raised for electrons in solids, is now crucial for the studies of atomic bosons where recent experiments have demonstrated Anderson localization in expanding very dilute quasi-1D clouds.

Kasini society : some aspects of the social organization of an Athapaskan culture between 1900-1950
Creators: name: McDonnell, Roger Francis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study provides a description and analysis of the Kasini, a small group of northern Athapaskan Indians. Though it presents a considerable body of ethnographic material from a previously unstudied area, its main concern is to elucidate a form of organization that prevailed, between 1900-1950, in the southeastern Yukon. Kasini social relations were subject to change and the general character of social organization was not predicated on a fixed normative order. Accordingly, I have focused on individual experience and emphasized the emergent quality of social relations in particular contexts instead of assuming a fixed institutional framework and attempting to understand the order of Kasini social life in its terms. This study seeks to discover the reasons for changes in Kasini relations, the means they had for recognizing changed relations, and the methods used to portray different kinds of relationship. Social relations are examined from the perspective of activities and ideas. Chapters three and four describe resources used by Kasini and outline the annual "sequence of activity resulting from their exploitation. This provides the single most demanding framework governing Kasini behavior and the description reveals that Kasini were subject to frequent group realignment, and that relative ability in the food quest was a critical consideration in the formation of all comestic groups. Chapters five and six discuss certain fundamental Kasini ideas and show how these pervade Kasini culture and provide a base-line for Kasini recognition of relationship in different contexts. The remainder of the study is an attempt to understand certain aspects of Kasini social life in the light of the frameworks of resources and ideas. Chapters seven and eight examine kinship and the social categories used by people who were in frequent contact. Differences in individual ability relate to and determine preferred combinations of people which constitute domestic groups. Evidence is presented, to show how behavior influenced the use of social categories and perception of relationships. For individuals in frequent contact, there was a tendency to employ social categories according to certain rules, which are described. These constitute a sub-class of a broader set of categories including those used between people in infrequent contact. This larger set is described and the institution of marriage is shown to be a pivotal structure, creating crucial bonds within Kasini society at large.
Attività autonomica cardiaca e funzioni neurocognitive nei pazienti affetti da sindrome delle gambe senza riposo (RLS): effetto dei farmaci dopamino agonisti in acuto e a lungo termine

description: Several studies showed that sleep loss/fragmentation may have a negative impact on cognitive performance, mood and autonomic activity. Specific neurocognitive domains, such as executive function (i.e.,prefrontal cortex), seems to be particularly vulnerable to sleep loss. Pearson et al.(2006) evaluated 16 RLS patients compared to controls by cognitive tests, including those particularly sensitive to prefrontal cortical (PFC) functioning and sleep loss. RLS patients showed significant deficits on two of the three PFC tests.
It has been recently reported that RLS is associated with psychiatric manifestations. A high prevalence of depressive symptoms has been found in patients with RLS(Rothdach AJ et al., 2000). 
RLS could cause depression through its adverse influences on sleep and energy. On the other hand, symptoms of depression such as sleep deprivation, poor nutrition or lack of exercise may predispose an individual to the development of RLS. Moreover, depressed patients may amplify mild RLS, making occasional RLS symptoms appear to meet threshold criteria. The specific treatment of depression could be also implicated, since antidepressant compounds may worsen RLS and PLMD(Picchietti D et al., 2005; Damsa C et al., 2004). Interestingly, treatments used to relieve RLS symptoms (dopamine agonists) seem to have an antidepressant effects in RLS depressed patients(Saletu M et al., 2002&2003). 
During normal sleep there is a well-regulated pattern of the autonomic function, modulated by changes in sleep stages. It has been reported that chronic sleep deprivation is associated with cardiovascular events. In patients with sleep fragmentation increased number of arousals and increased cyclic alternating pattern rate is associated with an increase in sympathetic activity. It has been demonstrated that PLMS occurrence is associated with a shift to increased sympathetic activity without significant changes in cardiac parasympathetic activity (Sforza E et al., 2005). An increased association of RLS with hypertension and heart disease has been documented in several studies(Ulfberg J et al., 2001; Ohayon MM et al., 2002).

Central to this work is a demonstration of how the broad spectrum of plants and design forms were used during this period – a spectrum that ranges from subtropical plants to annuals, bulbs and perennials. By establishing a systematic typology, the thesis attempted to clarify how these individual elements were integrated into a given context of usage and application. This typology can thus serve as a guide to the different types of floral planting designs and decorative flower beds during this period. It enables a scientific approach to evaluating new planting schemes and offers ways of considering alternative replanting concepts.

description: Next generation sequencing (NGS) is a new emerging technique in food microbiology, which currently is becoming increasingly mainstream since it provides fast results for an affordable price. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of important microbes can easily be carried out and the results contain more background information compared to traditional phenotyping or other molecular techniques such as serotyping, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), where only a small part of the genome is analysed. Compared to traditional typing methods, WGS and genotyping offer significant advantages since it is possible to carry out analyses regarding antibiotic resistance, virulence, serotyping, MLST and phylogenetic relationship using one single technique. In addition, WGS data analysed for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provide a much higher resolution compared to e.g. pulse-field gel electrophoresis. Therefore, NGS is an excellent tool for surveying antimicrobial resistance, virulence and outbreaks of various important food pathogens.
title: An Economic Analysis of Prairie Dog Control
Creators: name: Collins, Alan Robert

description: Prairie dog control was found to be economically feasible on the Conata basin in South Dakota with future annual maintenance control to prevent re-invasions. The large difference between the present net worth values of the two viewpoints ($2587 for the U.S. Forest Service acting as an agent of the sovereign and $109,011 for the ranchers ) was due to the added costs of environmental considerations included in the U.S. Forest Service control program, but assumed not to be included in control by ranchers. In order for prairie dog control to remain economically feasible, annual maintenance control for the U.S. Forest Service must be below 5 percent of the total initially controlled acreage in the control program (9 percent for the rancher viewpoint).
Sun sedge (Carex heloiphila) constituted the major cattle forage increase from control in this study while western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii), the dominant mid-grass in the area, showed no increase in production after five years of prairie dog elimination. Overall, 84 pounds per acre of usable cattle forage was gained from control.

description: A mid neritic-upper bathyal Ypresian section at Aktulagay, western Kazakhstan, has been analyzed palynologically. A number of key dinoflagellate cyst events are directly calibrated with published calcareous nannofossil data from the same section. The events are used to identify eight dinoflagellate cyst zones from a recently established zonation, used elsewhere in the eastern Peri-Tethys, and to calibrate these zones with the standard nannofossil zonation (NP zones). The events include the lowermost occurrences of Deflandrea oebisfeldensis (∼1%), Dracodinium simile, Eatonicysta ursulae, Dracodinium varielongitudum, Charlesdowniea coleothrypta, Ochetodinium romanum, Charlesdowniea columna, Samlandia chlamydophora, Areosphaeridium diktyoplokum, and Wetzeliella eocaenica. An important regional unconformity separates the Ypresian section from overlying non-calcareous strata with the age-diagnostic species Enneadocysta arcuata, Wetzeliella ovalis, Wilsonidium echinosuturatum, and Rhombodinium draco, indicating the Rhombodinium draco Zone of latest Lutetian–Bartonian age. Based on fluctuations of ecological groups of dinoflagellate cysts, a series of different depositional environments are interpreted and related to the existing sequence stratigraphic model of the section. In most cases dinoflagellate cyst agree with, or supplement, calcareous micro- and nannofossil indications, and support the sequence stratigraphic model. Impagidinium wardii sp. nov. is atypical for the otherwise oceanic genus as it bloomed in a mid-neritic environment. The first cooling at the end of the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO) is suggested to have caused a strong acme of Eatonicysta ursulae and distinct lowering of the sea level in the NP13 zone. Four new species are formally described: Cribroperidinium cavagnettiae sp. nov., Dracodinium robertknoxii sp. nov., Impagidinium wardii sp. nov., and Samlandia chriskingii sp. nov. The Aktulagay Formation of King et al. (2013) is renamed the Kulsary Formation.

description: L’idea iniziale di questo lavoro era di tentare un approccio ad una tematica che, per la cronologia scelta, era stata decisamente poco studiata. Il Quattrocento e gli arcivescovi di Ravenna sembravano formare una diade promettente per i risultati che avrebbe potuto dare in termini di riscoperta dell’antico in ambito urbano, di rinascita umanistica e dei valori culturali che, nel particolare deposito memoriale ravennate, avrebbe potuto configurarsi in maniera particolarmente interessante dati i caratteri di unicità che la città – già imperiale, regia ed esarcale – porta inscritti nella sua identità.
Le fonti primarie, rivolte all’analisi della politica degli arcivescovi ravennati per la conservazione e l’innovazione della facies urbana cittadina e ricercate anche all’interno del quadro istituzionale/amministrativo e culturale veneziano e della Ferrara estense, dalla cui società e cultura provengono i più importanti arcivescovi ravennati del periodo, hanno restituito il riflesso di una identità cittadina e urbica indebolita.
Una difficoltà oggettiva è venuta da un carattere costante delle consuetudini clericali del tempo, la non residenza del presule nella sua chiesa locale, cui neppure il vescovo ravennate ha fatto eccezione. L’ipotesi di partenza finisce dunque per essere sfumata: le dinamiche della gestione e conservazione del patrimonio monumentale e artistico della città non appaiono più in mano all’arcivescovo, ma ad una pluralità di amministratori ed utilizzatori anche del frammentato mondo ecclesiale cittadino. Vengono peraltro messe in luce le attitudini e la sensibilità tutta umanistica di taluni vescovi – Bartolomeo Roverella in particolare -, qualità che non paiono estendersi fuori dalla vita personale dei presuli e meno ancora fino alla città della loro diocesi, ma che indagate in maniera organica e legate alle testimonianze materiali fino ad oggi disperse e per la prima volta riunite nel presente lavoro, apportano nuova luce e aprono la strada a ulteriori lavori di approfondimento.
