description: We present explicit methods for simulating diffusions whose generator is self-adjoint with respect to a known (but possibly not normalizable) density. These methods exploit this property and combine an optimized Runge-Kutta algorithm with a Metropolis-Hastings Monte-Carlo scheme. The resulting numerical integration scheme is shown to be weakly accurate at finite noise and to gain higher order accuracy in the small noise limit. It also permits to avoid computing explicitly certain terms in the equation, such as the divergence of the mobility tensor, which can be tedious to calculate. Finally, the scheme is shown to be ergodic with respect to the exact equilibrium probability distribution of the diffusion when it exists. These results are illustrated on several examples including a Brownian dynamics simulation of DNA in a solvent. In this example, the proposed scheme is able to accurately compute dynamics at time step sizes that are an order of magnitude (or more) larger than those permitted with commonly used explicit predictor-corrector schemes.

description: So far there is only indirect evidence that the Universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion. The evidence for cosmic acceleration is based on the observation of different objects at different distances, and requires invoking the Copernican cosmological principle, and Einstein's equations of motion. We examine the direct observability using recession velocity drifts (Sandage-Loeb effect) of 21cm hydrogen absorption systems in upcoming radio surveys. This measures the change in velocity of the {\it same} objects separate by a time interval and is a model-independent measure of acceleration. We forecast that for a CHIME-like survey with a decade time span, we can detect the acceleration of a $Λ$CDM Universe with $5σ$ confidence. This acceleration test requires modest data analysis and storage changes from the normal processing, and cannot be recovered retroactively.

description: The purpose of this research is to examine the episcopate of Brescia in the Late Medieval, during a period comprehended between the second half of 13th century and the early 15th century. The large amount of written records kept in local archives allowed to investigate many aspects, especially those concerning the development of a stable bureaucracy, the constitution and the keeping of an archive. Other important aspects investigated are those concerning the personnel working for the episcopate and the people linked with this institution (notaries, central and local officers), also investigated with regard to their own careers, cultural formation, social origins. In the end, attention has paid to the relationship between the episcopate and other important political and social powers of that time (State, local aristocracy, urban elites): this relationship has been considered as another important perspective through which investigate the phenomena that involved the episcopate of Brescia during the Late Middle Age.
LA PROAIRESIS IN PLOTINO E PROCLO: UNA PROPOSTA INTERPRETATIVA SULLA SCELTA MORALE NEL NEOPLATONISMO
Creators: name: BONANNO, ROBERTA

Year: 2019

description: This thesis analyses the evolution of proairesis and self-determination in Neoplatonism, with particular attention to the evolution of the concept in Plotinus and Proclus. The first part of the thesis functions as an introduction and it briefly highlights the aspects of the previous theorizations (from Plato and Aristotle to Hellenistic philosophies) on proairesis which later fell back into Neoplatonism. I will focus on the role of the soul, on the possibilities and limitations of man?s self-determination, on the evolution of proairesis by "deliberate choice between means to achieve an end" to "choice between two moral options connoted as good and evil". The second part of the thesis concerns the Neoplatonist self-deliberation and proairesis. As it is well known, Neoplatonists try to combine a system ruled by providence and fate with the existence of human self-determination. Here, I show that Plotinus and Proclus have different elaboration of self-determination. It seems to be depended on a different interpretation of the nature of the Platonic soul. Plotinus' conception is based on a dualistic idea of soul. His elaboration of soul also lacks of any intermediate condition characterized by the cognitive doubt and by a relationship on equal terms between rational and irrational part. In this case, conceiving the choice intended as a deliberate choice between good and evil is more difficult. Therefore, self-determination will be only a rational choice of the good. On the contrary, Proclus elaborates a non-dualistic conception of soul. He foresees the possibility of intermediate conditions and cognitive doubts. It follows that he recovers the concept of proairesis, in the version elaborated in the Hellenistic. He uses it to indicate one of the two forms of self-determination conceived by him, that is self-determination as a process of choice between two morally connoted options. For this reason, Proclus' proairesis is the central point of man's self-determination and of man's moral responsibility in his ethical process of coming back to god. It is also what characterizes man as a being with an intermediate nature inside the Universe, distinguishing him both from animals and intelligible principles.

description: Artykuł ma na celu ustalenie statusu prawnego mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych w Polsce. Tezą wyjściową badań jest stwierdzenie, że polityka ochrony praw mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych jest obszarem stale się kreującym i posiada ona charakter dynamiczny. W przypadkach badania określonych zjawisk prawnych i potrzeby ich jednoczesnej kwalifikacji, zostały zawarte odwołania przede wszystkim do istniejącego już zasobu znanych instytucji mając nadzieję znaleźć takie, które mogłyby pomieścić badany fragment rzeczywistości prawnej. W artykule zatem prowadzone są rozważania, na ile przydatna w odniesieniu do grup mniejszości narodowych jest np. koncepcja niedyskryminacji, z założenia której wynika, że utworzenie szczególnych regulacji, umożliwia realizację określonej ochrony praw mniejszości oraz w jaki sposób Ustawodawca zróżnicował mniejszości narodowe i etniczne. Jako metodę badawczą przyjęto analizę materiału normatywnego, głównie prawa polskiego oraz stanowiska polskiej doktryny. Za przyjętym rozwiązaniem przemawia fakt, że zagadnienie mniejszości narodowych jest swoistym modelem polskim, opartym na określonym podłożu historycznym, mimo, iż aktualnie mniejszości narodowe nie są zjawiskiem licznie występującym w Polsce. Przedmiotem analizy jest także orzecznictwo Sądu Najwyższego i Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, głównie dotyczące interpretacji zagadnienia odnoszącego się do praw mniejszości narodowych. Słowa kluczowe: status prawny, mniejszości narodowe, mniejszości etniczne, ochrona prawna

description: Selbst-Optimierung bis ins Gehirn wird zunehmend als Erfolgsstrategie für jeden Menschen prognostiziert. Wir gehen in diesem Beitrag der Frage nach, wie das Phänomen pharmakologisches Neuro-Enhancement in der deutschen Medienberichterstattung im Zeitraum 2006–2011 verhandelt wird. Dabei ist zentral, inwieweit diese Debatte auf explizite oder implizite genderrelevante Annahmen rekurriert, wenn Neuro-Enhancement mit Begriffen wie Leistungs- und Erfolgsgesellschaft, Eigenverantwortung, Leistungsfähigkeit und Emotionalität verbunden wird. Die Analyse zeigt, dass das neuropharmakologische Optimierungsparadigma in der erfolgsorientierten Gesellschaft nicht frei von geschlechtlichen Implikationen ist, sondern im Gegenteil biologische Ursachenzuschreibungen an Fähigkeiten von Frauen und Männern reproduziert. Demnach verhindert es nicht nur eine Angleichung der Geschlechterrollen, sondern unterstützt auch ein Fortschreiben geschlechtsspezifischer Ungleichheiten.

description: Acoustic wave propagation in a one-dimensional waveguide connected with Helmholtz resonators is studied numerically. Finite amplitude waves and viscous boundary layers are considered. The model consists of two coupled evolution equations: a nonlinear PDE describing nonlinear acoustic waves, and a linear ODE describing the oscillations in the Helmholtz resonators. The thermal and viscous losses in the tube and in the necks of the resonators are modeled by fractional derivatives. A diffusive representation is followed: the convolution kernels are replaced by a finite number of memory variables that satisfy local ordinary differential equations. A splitting method is then applied to the evolution equations: their propagative part is solved using a standard TVD scheme for hyperbolic equations, whereas their diffusive part is solved exactly. Various strategies are examined to compute the coefficients of the diffusive representation; finally, an optimization method is preferred to the usual quadrature rules. The numerical model is validated by comparisons with exact solutions. The properties of the full nonlinear solutions are investigated numerically. In particular, the existence of acoustic solitary waves is confirmed.

La riparazione per violazioni di diritti umani derivanti da attivit� delle Nazioni Unite
Creators: name: BUSCEMI, MARTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: Many International Organizations (hereinafter IOs) have grown to be powerful entities whose acts and activities are capable of impinging ? and often do so ? on individuals. This holds true with respect to unlawful actions committed by UN peacekeepers, as well as to targeted sanctions imposed by UN Sanctions Committees. These violations ? which are steadily increasing ? raise several questions under international public law. The present research investigates the mise en ?uvre of the several international legal regimes of responsibility triggered by the unlawful acts and assesses the reparation provided thereby. To that end, the study follows two main directions: the first part provides the applicable legal framework, while the second one is fully dedicated to the relevant practice. The First Chapter underlines the content and scope of the secondary rules on IOs? responsibility, as dealt with in the Draft Articles adopted by the International Law Commission in 2011 (Chapter 1, section I), to then focus on the norm related to reparation and its strong interconnection with the primary norm recognizing the right of access to justice and the right to an effective remedy (Chapter 1, section II). The Second Chapter deals with the disputes between States and IOs and the reparation achievable thereby. The attempt here is to identify some actions taken by States, on the behalf of individuals, aimed at implementing the responsibility of United Nations (Chapter 2, section I). It follows a critical analysis of the relevant practice with a view of underlining a new trend that has been emerging in the field of diplomatic protection (Chapter 2, section II). The Third and last Chapter explores the reparation awarded to victims who file a claim against States for conducts connected with acts of IOs before the treaty-based human rights mechanisms, such as the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The analysis begins with a fully comprehensive systematization of the large number of decisions where the ECtHR has dealt with the responsibility of contracting States in connection with acts of IOs (Chapter 3, section I). The last part of the Chapter endeavours to find solutions de iure condendo for the limits of the extant situation. Accordingly, new hypothesis of State responsibility are tentatively outlined (Chapter 3, section II).

description: The mechanism of the initial inflationary scenario of the universe and of its late-time acceleration can be described by assuming the existence of some gravitationally coupled scalar fields $ϕ$, with the inflaton field generating inflation and the quintessence field being responsible for the late accelerated expansion. Various inflationary and late-time accelerated scenarios are distinguished by the choice of an effective self-interaction potential $V(ϕ)$, which simulates a temporarily non-vanishing cosmological term. In this work, we present a new formalism for the analysis of scalar fields in flat isotropic and homogeneous cosmological models. The basic evolution equation of the models can be reduced to a first order non-linear differential equation. Approximate solutions of this equation can be constructed in the limiting cases of the scalar field kinetic energy and potential energy dominance, respectively, as well as in the intermediate regime. Moreover, we present several new accelerating and decelerating exact cosmological solutions, based on the exact integration of the basic evolution equation for scalar field cosmologies. More specifically, exact solutions are obtained for exponential, generalized cosine hyperbolic, and power law potentials, respectively. Cosmological models with power law scalar field potentials are also analyzed in detail.

description: We apply the well known semi analytical model of formation of DM halos to discuss the process of formation and evolution of the relaxed objects dominated by the DM component (such as the first and dSph galaxies and clusters of galaxies). On the one hand this approach allows us to obtain a simple description of evolution of the first galaxies. On the other hand it reveals links between the observed characteristics of the relaxed DM halos and the initial power spectrum of density perturbations. Results of our analysis of the observed properties of 41 DM dominated dSph galaxies and data of $\sim 300$ clusters of galaxies are consistent with the $Λ$CDM like power spectrum of initial perturbations down to the scale of $\sim 10kpc$.

description: Gli strumenti fino ad ora disponibili hanno fallito nel tentativo di predire gli eventi avversi dei pazienti con sincope in pronto soccorso. Per valutare i possibili punti di forza e di debolezza e confrontare i diversi metodi statistici usati per la derivazione di score e scale di rischio, abbiamo deciso di derivare dei modelli basati su regressione logistica multivariata e reti neurali artificiali (ANN) a partire da un database retrospettivo e di validarli in un nuovo dataset di 354 pazienti. L?area sotto la curva ROC di regressione multivariata e ANN � risultata rispettivamente di 0.726 e 0.694 nella coorte di validazione. Vista la bassa accuratezza predittiva dei modelli analizzati, abbiamo provato a identificare metodi alternativi per predire il rischio di eventi avversi dei pazienti con sincope. Abbiamo ipotizzato che si potesse stimare una probabilit� pre-test accurata appaiando ogni singolo paziente ad un gruppo di pazienti con le stesse caratteristiche cliniche, e valutando la proporzione che aveva sviluppato l?outcome di interesse (attribute matching). In teoria, il funzionamento ideale di tale sistema consentirebbe di confrontare un profilo clinico tanto pi� dettagliato e di avere stime di rischio molto precise quanto pi� il database di riferimento � ampio. Pertanto, questo strumento non � ancora utilizzabile nella pratica clinica, ma sembra un metodo promettente. Studi futuri dovrebbero costruire database prospettici che arruolino un gran numero di pazienti per valutare se l?attibute matching possa aggiungere informazioni agli strumenti predittivi tradizionali e alla stima del rischio da parte di medici esperti. Inoltre, la possibilit� di introdurre variabili nuove e sempre pi� complesse e di poter predire nel dettaglio diversi tipi di outcome, potrebbe creare un profilo clinico pi� specifico e potenzialmente sempre pi� accurato.

description: We propose a mechanism by which the inflaton can generate baryogenesis, by taking the inflaton to be a complex scalar field with a weakly broken global symmetry and present a new version of the Affleck-Dine mechanism. The smallness of the breaking is motivated both by technical naturalness and a requirement for inflation. We study inflation driven by a quadratic potential for simplicity and discuss generalizations to other potentials. We compute the inflationary dynamics and find that a conserved particle number is obtained towards the end of inflation. We then explain in detail the later decay to baryons. We present two promising embeddings in particle physics: (i) using high dimension operators for a gauge singlet; we find this leads to the observed asymmetry for decay controlled by the ~ grand unified theory scale and this is precisely the regime where the effective field theory applies. (ii) using a colored inflaton, which requires small couplings. We also point out two observational consequences: a possible large scale dipole in the baryon density, and a striking prediction of isocurvature fluctuations whose amplitude is found to be just below current limits and potentially detectable in future data.

description: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest type of primary brain tumours with a high mortality rate, attributing to high post-surgical tumour recurrence. This unfavourable prognosis is due to the highly invasive phenotype observed in GBM cells, especially within the mesenchymal (MES) subtype of GBM. In recent years, the involvement of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) such as long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) have been extensively deliberated in cancers and GBM. They were reported to be involved in the regulation of multiple biological pathways and cellular processes, which leads to increased cell invasion observed in tumours. This review focuses on two cellular processes; angiogenesis and MES transition, which can stimulate the invasive nature of GBM cells. Additionally, the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the hypoxic environment of GBM microenvironment which are central factors regulating both cellular processes will be discussed. Both cellular processes affiliated with cell invasion are downstream of signalling pathways such as PI3K/Akt or Wnt/β-catenin signalling, which will also be elaborated. Finally, recent studies characterising novel lncRNAs in the regulation of cell-invasion in GBM, specifically via the biological processes and signalling pathways discussed previously will be compiled and reviewed.
THE PROTECTIVE ROLE OF PTX3 IN MOUSE SKIN CARCINOGENESIS

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: Abstract The implication of the innate immune system on inflammatory carcinogenesis is a central topic in tumor biology. The humoral pattern recognition molecule PTX3 plays a fundamental role in the modulation of inflammation by regulating Complement cascade and P-selectin dependent neutrophil recruitment. Available information in human and murine 3-MCA induced sarcomas suggests a protective role of PTX3 in cancer-related inflammation. In this study we showed that PTX3-deficient mice were more susceptible to DMBA/TPA chemically-induced epithelial skin cancer than PTX3-competent mice, in term of incidence, multiplicity of papillomas and number of lesions evolving to skin carcinomas, suggesting a more aggressive behavior of PTX3-/- tumors. In the skin, PTX3 was strongly produced during the acute phase of carcinogenesis by infiltrating macrophages, neutrophils, and vessels. Immunohistochemical investigation of papillomas showed low presence of PTX3 in the extracellular matrix. The deficiency of PTX3 was associated with increased cancer-related inflammation in term of neutrophil infiltration, higher production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, increased C3 and IgG deposition. In the effort to define the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenotype, we observed that P-selectin deficiency and in vivo neutrophil depletion reverted the tumor susceptibility of Ptx3-/- mice. All together, these results provide evidence that PTX3 is locally produced and plays a protective role in epithelial skin carcinogenesis acting as an extrinsic oncosuppressor. The mechanism of PTX3-mediated protection is explained by modulation of cancer-related inflammation regulating P-selectin dependent neutrophil recruitment and Complement activation.

description: We study the quantum slit diffraction problem in three dimensions. In the treatment of diffraction of particles by a slit, it is usually assumed that the motion perpendicular to the slit is classical. Here we take into account the effect of the quantum nature of the motion perpendicular to the slit using the Green function approach [18]. We treat the diffraction of a Gaussian wave packet for general boundary conditions on the shutter. The difference between the standard and our three-dimensional slit diffraction models is analogous to the diffraction in time phenomenon introduced in [16]. We derive corrections to the standard formula for the diffraction pattern, and we point out situations in which this might be observable. In particular, we discuss the diffraction in space and time in the presence of gravity.

description: In this paper, we develop a new mathematical technique which allows us to express the joint distribution of a Markov process and its running maximum (or minimum) through the marginal distribution of the process itself. This technique is an extension of the classical reflection principle for Brownian motion, and it is obtained by weakening the assumptions of symmetry required for the classical reflection principle to work. We call this method a weak reflection principle and show that it provides solutions to many problems for which the classical reflection principle is typically used. In addition, unlike the classical reflection principle, the new method works for a much larger class of stochastic processes which, in particular, do not possess any strong symmetries. Here, we review the existing results which establish the weak reflection principle for a large class of time-homogeneous diffusions on a real line and then proceed to extend this method to the Lévy processes with one-sided jumps (subject to some admissibility conditions). Finally, we demonstrate the applications of the weak reflection principle in financial mathematics, computational methods and inverse problems.

description: Let $s_q(n)$ denote the sum of the digits of a number $n$ expressed in base $q$. We study here the ratio $\frac{s_q(n^α)}{s_q(n)}$ for various values of $q$ and $α$. In 1978, Kenneth B. Stolarsky showed that $\lim\inf_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{s_2(n^2)}{s_2(n)}=0$ and that $\lim\sup_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{s_2(n^2)}{s_2(n)}=\infty$ using an explicit construction. We show that for $α=2$ and $q\geq 2$, the above ratio can in fact be any positive rational number. We also study what happens when $α$ is a rational number that is not an integer, terminating the resulting expression by using the floor function.

description: Background and Aims: Anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) is an effective and relatively safe therapy for patients with portal vein thrombosis (PVT). However, the haemorrhagic risk of VKAs in relation with the presence of cirrhosis, has poorly been investigated Methods: We compared the VKAs-related bleeding risk in cirrhotic patients with de novo PVT (PVT-cohort, n=62) vs non-cirrhotic patients with a thromboembolic event (TE-cohort, n=160). Any bleeding during four years of follow-up or up to withdrawal of anticoagulation therapy, was recorded. The quality of anticoagulation control was measured by the time in therapeutic range (TTR) of the INR. Bleeding risk due to portal hypertension (PHT) in the PVT-cohort was compared with an independent series of cirrhotics with PHT unexposed to VKAs during follow-up (CH-cohort, n=53). Major bleeding episodes under anticoagulation were intracranial or retroperitoneal events, fatal bleeding events, need of hospitalization or transfusion, otherwise they were considered minor bleedings. All patients with cirrhosis were under prophylaxis for PHT-related bleeding according to current guidelines. Results: TE-cohort and PVT-cohort were comparable for age, sex. The mean of TTR was 67.7+/-20.9% for the former, 70.5+/-19.1% for the latter (p=0.379) but treatment with VKAs was longer for the TE-cohort (31.1+/-16.9 vs 23.0+/-16.2 months, p=0.001). Overall, 41 patients under anticoagulation experienced a bleeding episode (14 major/27 minor). The actuarial probability of major/minor bleedings was higher in PVT-cohort (23%major/30%) than in the TE-cohort (6%/20%) (p<0.001). However, the risk of upper-gastro-intestinal bleeding in PVT-cohort (15%) was the same as in the CH-cohort (13%) also adjusting for potential confounders, confirming the lack of impact of VKAs on the risk of bleeding due to PHT. Finally, the exclusion of the upper-gastrointestinal bleeding in the PVT-cohort led to a significant reduction of major bleedings accountable for VKAs, leaving a significant residual risk only for minor bleeding episodes (p<0.05). Conclusions: VKAs expose patients with cirrhosis and PVT to an additional risk of minor bleedings. This should be taken into account in future clinical studies to ameliorate the benefit/risk ratio of anticoagulation in this clinical setting.

description: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a common and potentially fatal condition that requires prompt and effective nursing care. Nurses play a vital role in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of acute coronary syndromes. The provision of evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP) is crucial to achieving high-quality nursing care and management. This article presents a case study to illustrate the rationale and nursing practice evidence underlying a holistic approach to caring for patients with acute MI. The framework for comprehensive care and management includes a nursing assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention, and assessment process. The article highlights the importance of nurses' willingness to modify nursing practice when new evidence emerges. The findings emphasize the need for a holistic approach to care, which involves extensive monitoring and regular analysis of data to obtain situational …
TESTING THE EFFICACY OF BRAIN CHOLESTEROL SUPPLEMENTATION AS A POSSIBLE THERAPEUTIC APPROACH FOR HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE

description: Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, fatal, adult-onset, neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene, which encodes an abnormally long polyglutamine repeat in the huntingtin protein. Clinical features of Huntington's disease include progressive motor dysfunction, cognitive decline, and psychiatric disturbance. Currently, the available drugs are used only for symptomatic management of Huntington's disease, but there is no effective therapy. Several studies indicate that brain cholesterol biosynthesis is reduced in several HD rodent models (Valenza et al. 2005) (Valenza et al. 2007) (Valenza et al. 2010) and data from HD patients also suggested a similar reduction (Leoni et al. 2008) (Leoni et al. 2013). This dysfunction may be detrimental for neuronal cells, especially given that locally synthesized cholesterol is implicated in neurite outgrowth, synapses formation and maintenance, synaptic activity and integrity, and optimal neurotransmitter release (Pfrieger et al. 2003). Based on these evidences, we supposed that in vivo supplying of exogenous cholesterol could rescue aspects of neuronal dysfunction. To verify our hypothesis we used different approaches to deliver exogenous cholesterol to the brain of R6/2 mice (Mangiarini et al. 1996), since peripheral cholesterol is not able to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). In our first study, the delivery of cholesterol via brain-permeable polymeric nanoparticles (g7-NPs- Chol) rescued synaptic communication, protected from cognitive decline and partially improved global activity in HD mice (Valenza et al. 2015). In a second study we tested the efficacy of increasing doses of cholesterol directly infused into mouse brain by osmotic minipumps. Results demonstrated that high amounts of cholesterol have to be delivered to observe both cognitive and motor functional recovery in R6/2 mice. More recently, we started to investigate a third innovative non-invasive strategy based on intranasal delivery of cholesterol and preliminary results will be discussed.

Piezoresistance in Silicon and its nanostructures

description: Piezoresistance is the change in the electrical resistance, or more specifically the resistivity, of a solid induced by an applied mechanical stress. The origin of this effect in bulk, crystalline materials like Silicon, is principally a change in the electronic structure which leads to a modification of the charge carriers effective mass. The last few years have seen a rising interest in the piezoresistive properties of semiconductor nanostructures, motivated in large part by claims of a giant piezoresistance effect in Silicon nanowires that is more than two orders of magnitude bigger than the known bulk effect. This review aims to present the controversy surrounding claims and counter-claims of giant piezoresistance in Silicon nanostructures by presenting a summary of the major works carried out over the last 10 years. The main conclusions that can be drawn from the literature are that i) reproducible evidence for a giant piezoresistance effect in un-gated Silicon nanowires is limited, ii) in gated nanowires a giant effect has been reproduced by several authors, iii) the giant effect is fundamentally different from either the bulk Silicon piezoresistance or that due to quantum confinement in accumulation layers and heterostructures, the evidence pointing to an electrostatic origin for the piezoresistance, iv) released nanowires tend to have slightly larger piezoresistance coefficients than un-released nanowires, and v) insufficient work has been performed on bottom-up grown nanowires to be able to rule out a fundamental difference in their properties when compared with top-down nanowires. On the basis of this, future possible research directions are suggested.

STRENGTHENING FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS PROTECTION AT EUROPEAN UNION LEVEL: THE ROLE OF THE EU FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AGENCY
Creators: name: GIUNGI, MARIA MADDALENA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: The European Union Fundamental Rights Agency, established in 2007, is a new institution in the EU legal and political framework and a new element in the engineering of fundamental rights protection at EU level. In ?Leading by Example: a human rights agenda for the year 2000? ? the agenda drafted by a comit� des sages comprising Antonio Cassese, Catherine Lalumi�re, Peter Leuprecht and Mary Robinson ? the institution of a monitoring agency focused on human rights was considered a fundamental element to trigger a more proactive and central role of EU institutions in the protection of human rights. Along with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and after the Lisbon Treaty entered into force, the Agency has increasingly covered a role in the constitutionalization process of the European Union and has been a new actor within the EU system of governance. Given its importance, we intend to clarify the evolution of this EU body, understand its connections with the EU institutions, analyze its activities, in order to assess its effectiveness in the protection of human rights and its potential in prompting more virtuous policy-making processes.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISPLACED MAXILLARY CANINES AND THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE MAXILLA: A 3D MODEL ANALYSIS
Creators: name: CACCIATORE, GIORGIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: AIM: To examine whether there is a relationship between impacted maxillary canines, early diagnosed by using panoramic radiographs, and the morphology of the maxilla on 3D model casts. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Subjects were divided into two groups: the displaced maxillary canines (DMC) group and the control group. The DMC group consisted of 24 patients, with a mean age of 9.1�1.1 years, while the control group consisted of 25 subjects, with a mean age of 8.7�0.9 years. Fourteen patients had bilateral maxillary canine impactions. Early prediction of maxillary canine impaction was made by using three geometric measurements on panoramic radiographs: the position (sector) of the displaced canine relative to the surrounding teeth, the angle made by the long axis of the tooth with the midline, and the distance from the occlusal plane. Seven measurements were calculated on the digital casts of each subject: intermolar width (IMW), arch length (AL), depth of the palatal vault (PVD), available arch space (AAS), the sum of the widths of the four maxillary incisors (SWI), the right/affected (R-Af) and left/unaffected (L-Un) available spaces. Differences between the DMC group and the control group were calculated by means of Student?s t-test for independent samples. RESULTS: Both IMW and AL in the DMC group resulted statistically significant decreased relative to the control group (P<0.01). No statistically significant differences between the two groups were found in the PVD. Moreover, the values of the SWI and AAS were significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the DMC group relative to the controls. These findings are consistent with those found for AL and IMW. The right/affected and left/unaffected sides were shorter in the DMC group as well (P<0.01), although there were no statistically significant differences between the two sides (right/affected, left/unaffected) in both groups. CONCLUSION: The shape of the maxillary arch was narrower and shorter in the displaced maxillary canines group compared with the control group. Further researches are needed to investigate the differences between unilateral and bilateral impactions.
