Eccesso di ferro lobulare epatico in pazienti con epatocarcinoma su cirrosi correlata a steatoepatite-non alcolica.
Creators: name: Sorrentino, Paolo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2008

description: Introduzione: La presenza di ferro lobulare epatico è frequente in pazienti con steatoepatite non alcolica (NASH), ma il suo ruolo non è ben definito.  L’obiettivo della ricerca è stato quello di indagare  l’associazione dell’eccesso di ferro lobulare sulla prevalenza di epatocarcinoma (HCC) in pazienti con cirrosi correlata a NASH.
Metodi: Il ferro lobulare epatico è stato valutato retrospettivamente con metodo semiquantitative in biopsie di fegato di 153 pazienti con cirrosi correlata a NASH: 51 pazienti erano affetti da  HCC e 102 erano i controlli corrispondenti per età, sesso e stadio di malattia epatica, senza HCC. Il punteggio totale del ferro   (0-60) costituiva la somma di tre tipi di valutazione: il ferro epatocitario    (0-36), il ferro sinusoidale (0-12) ed il ferro di portale (0-12). Il punteggio corretto del ferro totale era ottenuto dalla somma di queste 3 valutazioni, e dalla moltiplicazione del risultato per 3/3, 2/3 o 1/3 a seconda della distribuzione rispettivamente più o meno omogenea del metallo  nei noduli della cirrosi.
Risultati: All'analisi di regressione logistica si è dimostrato che il sovraccarico marziale lobulare epatico (punteggio di ferro totale corretto > 0) era più frequente in pazienti con HCC che nei controlli. Tale sovraccarico era inoltre quantitativamente maggiore nei pazienti con HCC che nei controlli. La localizzazione più significativa del sovraccarico di ferro nel lobulo epatico era a livello sinusoidale, rispetto alla localizzazione portale ed epatocitaria.
Conclusioni: Il sovraccarico marziale epatico è più frequente e maggiormente rappresentato nei pazienti con cirrosi NASH correlata ed HCC, rispetto ai pazienti di controllo senza HCC. Il sovraccarico del metallo nel lobulo epatico è associato a sviluppo di HCC in pazienti con cirrosi secondaria a NASH.

Development of a transportable atom interferometer operating as inertial and gravity sensor

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2009

description: Atom Interferometry methods open new prospectives for absolute acceleration measurements; the quantum features of matter and the employment of atomic test masses with manipulation technique of internal and external degrees of freedom lead to a new generation of quantum sensors. In this thesis I present the development of a prototype for a transportable sensor at system and subsystem level. An instrument with such characteristics can find applications in many felds. The work has been developed in the framework of two European projects respectively oriented to the realization of an atom interferometry based absolute gravimeter for geophysical and metrological applications and to the realization of a Space Atom Interferometer for tests in micro-gravity environment. In order to focus on the possible scientific landscape I briefy illustrate in the introduction the existing devices and their characteristic performances, pointing out how the atom interferometry may represent a valid alternative leading to a new generation of quantum devices. The study, the development and the realization stages for our instrument are presented either for the laser system realization and for the the implementation of the whole apparatus. This work leads to the development of a very compact atomic physics interferometric system responding to the scientific requirements that represent our target. From the laser system side it has been realized also a complete and compact apparatus organized in a modular framework with stand alone components characterized by high working performances. This laser subsystem also includes laser sources in an external cavity configuration specially oriented to transportable apparatuses; they are characterized by an intrinsical passive stability, robustness and very narrow emission linewidth. The experience with neutral atom manipulation and with atom cooling and trapping technique has been integrated with a direct implementation, characterization and optimization of a Two Dimensional Magneto Optical Trap as a cold atoms source for an operating Atom Interferometer. Such kind of implementation represents a fundamental topic for a transportable sensor realization.

description: A scheme for fast, compact, and controllable acceleration of heavy particles in vacuum has been recently proposed [F. Peano et al., New J. Phys. 10 033028 (2008)], wherein two counterpropagating laser beams with variable frequencies drive a beat-wave structure with variable phase velocity, leading to particle trapping and acceleration. The technique allows for fine control over the energy distribution and the total charge of the accelerated beam, to be obtained via tuning of the frequency variation. Here, the theoretical bases of the acceleration scheme are described, and the possibility of applications to ultrafast muon acceleration and to the prompt extraction of cold-muon beams is discussed.

Electromagnetic and Gravitational Waves on a de Sitter background
Creators: name: Montaquila, Roberto Valentino
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2009

description: One of the longstanding problems of modern gravitational physics is the detection of gravitational waves, for which the standard theoretical analysis relies upon the split of the space-time metric g into background plus perturbations. However, the background isn't necessarily Minkowskian in several cases of physical interest. As a consequence, we investigate in more detail what happens if the background space-time has a non-vanishing Riemann curvature. In particular, we want to perform an analysis of electromagnetic and gravitational waves in the de Sitter space-time. Achieving solutions in this maximally symmetric background could constitute the paradigm to investigate any curved space-time by the same techniques and could have interesting cosmological applications. It is by now well known that the problem of solving vector and tensor wave equations in curved space-time is in general a challenge even for the modern computational resources. Within this framework, a striking problem is the coupled nature of the set of hyperbolic equations one arrives at. The Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic potential, supplemented by the Lorenz gauge condition, are decoupled and solved exactly in de Sitter space-time studied in static spherical coordinates. This method is extended to the tensor wave equation of metric perturbations on a de Sitter background and a numerical analysis of solutions is performed. This approach is a step towards a general discussion of gravitational waves in any curved background and might assume relevance in cosmology in order to study the stochastic background emerging from inflation.

description: A new class of Marginal Structural Models (MSMs), History-Restricted MSMs (HRMSMs), was recently introduced for longitudinal data for the purpose of defining causal parameters which may often be better suited for public health research or at least more practicable than MSMs \citejoffe,feldman. HRMSMs allow investigators to analyze the causal effect of a treatment on an outcome based on a fixed, shorter and user-specified history of exposure compared to MSMs. By default, the latter represent the treatment causal effect of interest based on a treatment history defined by the treatments assigned between the study's start and outcome collection. We lay out in this article the formal statistical framework behind HRMSMs. Beyond allowing a more flexible causal analysis, HRMSMs improve computational tractability and mitigate statistical power concerns when designing longitudinal studies. We also develop three consistent estimators of HRMSM parameters under sufficient model assumptions: the Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighted (IPTW), G-computation and Double Robust (DR) estimators. In addition, we show that the assumptions commonly adopted for identification and consistent estimation of MSM parameters (existence of counterfactuals, consistency, time-ordering and sequential randomization assumptions) also lead to identification and consistent estimation of HRMSM parameters.

description: We present high-fidelity numerical simulations of expiratory biosol transport during normal breathing under indoor, stagnant air conditions with and without a facial mask. We investigate mask efficacy to suppress the spread of saliva particles that is underpinnings existing social distancing recommendations. The present simulations incorporate the effect of human anatomy and consider a spectrum of saliva particulate sizes that ranges from 0.1 micrometers to 10 micrometers while accounting also for their evaporation. The simulations elucidate the vorticity dynamics of human breathing and show that without a facial mask, saliva particulates could travel over 2.2 m away from the person. However, a non-medical grade face mask can drastically reduce saliva particulate propagation to 0.72 m away from the person. This study provides new quantitative evidence that facial masks can successfully suppress the spreading of saliva particulates due to normal breathing in indoor environments.

description: We present an automatic COVID1-19 diagnosis framework from lung CT images. The focus is on signal processing and classification on small datasets with efforts putting into exploring data preparation and augmentation to improve the generalization capability of the 2D CNN classification models. We propose a unique and effective data augmentation method using multiple Hounsfield Unit (HU) normalization windows. In addition, the original slice image is cropped to exclude background, and a filter is applied to filter out closed-lung images. For the classification network, we choose to use 2D Densenet and Xception with the feature pyramid network (FPN). To further improve the classification accuracy, an ensemble of multiple CNN models and HU windows is used. On the training/validation dataset, we achieve a patient classification accuracy of 93.39%.
Progettazione ed Analisi Conformazionale di Peptidi ad Attività Antimicrobica.

Year: 2009

description: La presenza di agenti patogeni costituisce un problema di vecchia data nell’insorgenza di infezioni di varia tipologia; pertanto nel corso del tempo è accresciuto l’interesse verso forme batteriche, funginee, virali, al fine di circoscrivere o debellare le infezioni da essi causate.
I farmaci antibatterici rappresentano la classe di farmaci più utilizzata, il cui impiego è stato però caratterizzato da un uso eccessivo ed errato, tale da provocare l’insorgenza di patogeni resistenti agli antibiotici e da richiedere lo sviluppo di nuovi farmaci.
In tale ottica il presente lavoro di ricerca ha riguardato lo studio del comportamento conformazionale, mediante tecniche spettroscopiche (CD e NMR) e simulazioni di dinamica molecolare, dei seguenti peptidi antimicrobici: Temporina L, Temporina A ed i derivati dell’ormone α-MSH.
Sulla base dei risultati conformazionali ottenuti per questi peptidi la seconda parte del progetto si è focalizzata essenzialmente sul design razionale e sull’analisi conformazionale di nuovi analoghi. Sia l’attività biologica che il comportamento conformazionale di tali analoghi sono risultati in accordo con la progettazione effettuata, rappresentando il punto di partenza per lo sviluppo di altre interessanti molecole potenzialmente utilizzabili nelle terapie come agenti anti-infettivi o, eventualmente, in qualità di conservanti alimentari.
Tale progettazione ha inoltre portato ad alcuni derivati della Temporina L con elevata attività antimicrobica (antibatterica e/o antifungina) e con ridotta tossicità (valutata come effetto emolitico).

description: Dans les années qui précèdent le ministère de Turgot et la suppression des corporations dans tout le royaume (1776), un large mouvement de réforme est déjà à l'étude au sein du Conseil du roi. Les derniers moments du règne de Louis XV voient déjà la fin des oppositions parlementaires grâce à la révocation des charges des plus hauts magistrats (réforme de Maupeou, 1771-1774), et ce moment d'autoritarisme royal déborde largement du cadre de la justice. Tout l'ordre corporatif est alors pris à parti, par plusieurs projets de refonte générale des statuts et une mise sous tutelle des métiers, dont tous les actes publics seraient placés sous le contrôle des officiers de police locaux (validation des apprentissages, réception des nouveaux maîtres, postes de dépenses communes...). Dépossédés de la gestion de leur finance, les métiers verraient leur bduget définitivement intégrée à l'appareil fiscal monarchique.
Prenant la forme d'édits, qui n'attendent que leur émission et leur enregistrement, ces projets sont toutefois connus des principales corporations, dont les Six Corps des marchands de Paris qui y répondent avec circonspection, dans un rapport de force politique qu'ils ne dominent plus, voire dans une adhésion à plusieurs aspects des projets. Ainsi, le programme de libéralisation du commerce qui a débuté dès les années 1750, s'accompagne d'un fort volet autoritaire et dirigiste des cadres corporatifs, qui en montrent toute l'ambivalence.

description: We have studied the electrical conductivity behavior of highly crystallized undoped hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon films having different microstructures. The dark conductivity is seen to follow Meyer Neldel rule (MNR) in some films and anti MNR in others, which has been explained on the basis of variation in the film microstructure and the corresponding changes in the effective density of states distributions. A band tail transport and statistical shift of Fermi level are used to explain the origin of MNR as well as anti-MNR in our samples. The observation of MNR and anti MNR in electrical transport behavior of microcrystalline silicon is discussed in terms of the basic underlying physics of their origin and the significance of these relationships.

description: This Campaign Guide is perfect for you if you intend to organise or if you are involved in a campaign that aims to make people switch short car trips to more active modes of travel. It explains the general principles behind such a campaign, gives step-by-step advice on how to prepare, execute and evaluate it and provides all kinds of ready-made material and templates to make your life easier by not having to reinvent the wheel. Towards the end of the document you also find a systematic overview of all available support documents (referred to as the SWITCH Toolbox). The Campaign Guide and the Toolbox are key outputs of the EU funded project with the programmatic title SWITCH. It supports cities, who aim to help people to “switch” from their car to active modes of travel on short urban distances through effective and professional campaigns. There are some basic principles behind every successful SWITCH campaign, which we put together in this Campaign Guide document and thus hope that this Campaign Guide will be of help to you regardless of whether you are an experienced campaigner or whether you are trying this for the first time, whether your city is large or small, etc.

description: The Orthoglide project aims at designing a new 3-axis machine tool for High Speed Machining. Basis kinematics is a 3 degree-of-freedom translational parallel mechanism. This basis was submitted to isotropic and manipulability constraints that allowed the optmization of its kinematic architecture and legs architecture. Thus, several leg morphologies are convenient for the chosen mechanism. We explain the process that led us to the choice we made for the Orthoglide. A static study is presented to show how singular configurations of the legs can cause stiffness problems.

description: We study static solutions of the Tolman--Oppenheimer--Volkoff equations for spherically symmetric objects (stars) living in a space filled with the Chaplygin gas. Two cases are considered. In the normal case all solutions (excluding the de Sitter one) realize a three-dimensional spheroidal geometry because the radial coordinate achieves a maximal value (the "equator"). After crossing the equator, three scenarios are possible: a closed spheroid having a Schwarzschild-type singularity with infinite blue-shift at the "south pole", a regular spheroid, and a truncated spheroid having a scalar curvature singularity at a finite value of the radial coordinate. The second case arises when the modulus of the pressure exceeds the energy density (the phantom Chaplygin gas). There is no more equator and all solutions have the geometry of a truncated spheroid with the same type of singularity. We consider also static spherically symmetric configurations existing in a universe filled with the phantom Chaplygin gas only. In this case two classes of solutions exist: truncated spheroids and solutions of the wormhole type with a throat. However, the latter are not asymptotically flat and possess curvature singularities at finite values of the radial coordinate. Thus, they may not be used as models of observable compact astrophysical objects.

description: The theoretical and experimental issues relevant to neutrinoless double-beta decay are reviewed. The impact that a direct observation of this exotic process would have on elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology is profound. Now that neutrinos are known to have mass and experiments are becoming more sensitive, even the non-observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay will be useful. If the process is actually observed, we will immediately learn much about the neutrino. The status and discovery potential of proposed experiments are reviewed in this context, with significant emphasis on proposals favored by recent panel reviews. The importance of and challenges in the calculation of nuclear matrix elements that govern the decay are considered in detail. The increasing sensitivity of experiments and improvements in nuclear theory make the future exciting for this field at the interface of nuclear and particle physics.

Identificazioni di nuove variabili predittive di qualità ovocitaria ed embrionaria nei programmi di procreazione medicalmente assistita
Creators: name: Alviggi, Erminia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2006

description: Attualmente, nel protocollo standard di fecondazione in vitro, gli embrioni più idonei al trasferimento in utero vengono scelti in base ad una valutazione morfologica, due o tre giorni dopo la fecondazione. D’altro canto alcuni lavori suggeriscono che anche  l’analisi morfologica degli zigoti può essere indicativa di successo nella fertilizzazione in vitro. Su tali evidenze, note da diversi anni in letteratura, si basano i primi passi del lavoro di ricerca svolto nel corso di dottorato, avendo come obiettivo quello  di elaborare  un sistema di scoring combinato (weighted score) che tenesse conto dello score degli embrioni pre-impianto, dello score degli zigoti e del numero di blastomeri degli embrioni pre-transfer. Il sistema, una volta elaborato, è stato testato mediante un analisi retrospettiva,  al fine di valutare il suo valore predittivo in termini di percentuale di gravidanza e di tasso d’impianto. I dati ottenuti suggeriscono che il presente sistema di score combinato può essere utilizzato per stabilire una strategia nei cicli di fecondazione assistita per ridurre il numero di embrioni selezionati per il transfer, tutto ciò al fine di mantenere alte le percentuali di gravidanza riducendo l’incidenza di gravidanze multiple. In una seconda fase del dottorato di ricerca  si è cercato di andare  a determinare l’esistenza  di una eventuale correlazione tra livelli intra-follicolari di leptina, i tassi di fertilizzazione ovocitaria ed il precedentemente testato sistema scoring  embrionario. I risultati ottenuti evidenziano una correlazione positiva tra i livelli intrafollicolari di leptina e qualità ovocitaria intesa  come “attitudine” alla fertilizzazione. Risulta inoltre evidente come la concentrazione intrafollicolare di leptina non sia correlata in maniera significativa con lo sviluppo e  la qualità degli embrioni nelle tecniche di fecondazione assistita. Se i risultati riportati dovessero trovare conferma, la valutazione della concentrazione intrafollicolare di leptina potrebbe rappresentare un utile strategia nella selezione degli ovociti da destinare alle tecniche di fecondazione assistita.

description: Characteristics of magnetic transitions in NpTGa$_5$ with T=Co, Ni, Rh are explained in a unified way with use of a crystalline electric field (CEF) model of localized 5$f^4$ electrons. The model takes a CEF doublet and a singlet as local states, and includes dipolar and quadrupolar intersite interactions in the mean-field theory. Diverse ordering phenomena are derived depending on the magnitude of interaction parameters, which qualitatively reproduce the experimentally observed magnetic behaviors in NpTGa$_5$. The quadrupole degrees of freedom are essential to the diverse magnetic orders. It is argued that NpRhGa$_5$ is close to a multicritical point where quadrupoles and dipoles with different directions are competing to order.

description: The mobility of people is at the center of transportation planning and decision-making of the cities of the future. In order to accelerate the transition to zero-emissions and to maximize air quality benefits, smart cities are prioritizing walking, cycling, shared mobility services and public transport over the use of private cars. Extensive progress has been made in autonomous and electric cars. Autonomous Vehicles (AV) are increasingly capable of moving without full control of humans, automating some aspects of driving, such as steering or braking. For these reasons, cities are investing in the infrastructure and technology needed to support connected, multi-modal transit networks that include shared electric Autonomous Vehicles (AV). The relationship between traditional public transport and new mobility services is in the spotlight and need to be rethought. This paper proposes an agent-based simulation framework that allows for the creation and simulation of mobility scenarios to investigate the impact of new mobility modes on a city daily life. It lets traffic planners explore the cooperative integration of AV using a decentralized control approach. A prototype has been implemented and validated with data of the city of Trento.

Women who have undergone mastectomy : their experiences making the decision about breast reconstruction : a qualitative study
Creators: name: Claydon, Anne Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study was designed to explore post-mastectomy women's decision-making experience in relation to their choosing or refusing breast reconstruction. The literature review clearly illustrates a lack of knowledge about the factors that influence breast reconstruction decision-making. A phenomenological approach was used to guide this qualitative study. Data were collected via a series of semi-structured interviews from 16 women who had consulted a plastic surgeon regarding breast reconstruction. Of these women 13 underwent breast reconstruction and 3 refused this option. The women ranged in age from 32 to 64 years. Twelve women were married and lived with their partners, one was single, and the remaining three had been married but now lived alone. Most of the women had children. Decision-making in these women was characterized by an intuitive style as opposed to a logical, systematically-sequenced decision style endorsed by traditional decision theorists. Each woman demonstrated her own unique style of decision-making. The implications of this study focus on the critical need of post-mastectomy women to be thoroughly assessed, given relevant breast reconstruction information and have follow-up support during their breast reconstruction decision-making process. The emphasis in nursing education should be directed at educating nurses about the importance of wholeness, knowledge of the factors influencing a woman's choice regarding breast reconstruction and the necessity for understanding the decision-making process itself. Nursing research can play a valuable role in furthering our knowledge about the complex concept of wholeness, the catalytic effect of information on women's behavior with regard to breast reconstruction decision-making, and the significance of intuitive decision-making in relation to breast reconstruction.

description: The subject of this paper is a special class of parallel manipulators. First, we analyze a family of three-degree-of-freedom manipulators. Two Jacobian matrices appear in the kinematic relations between the joint-rate and the Cartesian-velocity vectors, which are called the "inverse kinematics" and the "direct kinematics" matrices. The singular configurations of these matrices are studied. The isotropic configurations are then studied based on the characteristic length of this manipulator. The isoconditioning loci of all Jacobian matrices are computed to define a global performance index to compare the different working modes.
Prospects of long-time-series observations from Dome C for transit search

description: The detection of transiting extrasolar planets requires high-photometric quality and long-duration photometric stellar time-series. In this paper, we investigate the advantages provided by the Antarctic observing platform Dome C for planet transit detections during its long winter period, which allows for relatively long, uninterrupted time-series. Our calculations include limiting effects due to the Sun and Moon, cloud coverage and the effect of reduced photometric quality for high extinction of target fields. We compare the potential for long time-series from Dome C with a single site in Chile, a three-site low-latitude network as well as combinations of Dome C with Chile and the network, respectively. Dome C is one of the prime astronomical sites on Earth for obtaining uninterrupted long-duration observations in terms of prospects for a high observational duty cycle. The duty cycle of a project can, however, be significantly improved by integrating Dome C into a network of sites.

description: We have studied the dark conductivity of a broad microstructural range of plasma deposited single phase undoped microcrystalline silicon films in a wide temperature range (15 - 450K) to identify the possible transport mechanisms and the interrelationship between film microstructure and electrical transport behavior. Different conduction behaviors seen in films with different microstructures are explained in the context of underlying transport mechanisms and microstructural features, for above and below room temperature measurements. Our microstructural studies have shown that different ranges of the percentage volume fraction of the constituent large crystallite grains (Fcl) of the microcrystalline silicon films correspond to characteristically different and specific microstructures, irrespective of deposition conditions and thicknesses. Our electrical transport studies demonstrate that each type of microcrystalline silicon material having a different range of Fcl shows different electrical transport behaviors.

Multi-valley spin relaxation in the presence of high in-plane electric fields in $n$-type GaAs quantum wells

description: Multi-valley spin relaxation in $n$-type GaAs quantum wells with in-plane electric field is investigated at high temperature by means of kinetic spin Bloch equation approach. The spin relaxation time first increases and then decreases with electric field, especially when the temperature is relatively low. We show that $L$ valleys play the role of a ``drain'' of the total spin polarization due to the large spin-orbit coupling in $L$ valleys and the strong $Γ$-$L$ inter-valley scattering, and thus can enhance spin relaxation of the total system effectively when the in-plane electric field is high. Under electric field, spin precession resulting from the electric-field-induced magnetic field is observed. Meanwhile, due to the strong $Γ$-$L$ inter-valley scattering as well as the strong inhomogeneous broadening in $L$ valleys, electron spins in $L$ valleys possess almost the same damping rate and precession frequency as those in $Γ$ valley. This feature still holds when a finite static magnetic field is applied in Voigt configuration, despite that the $g$-factor of $L$ valleys is much larger than that of $Γ$ valley. Moreover, it is shown that the property of spin precession of the whole system is dominated by electrons in $Γ$ valley. Temperature, magnetic field, and impurity can affect spin relaxation in low electric field regime. However, they are shown to have marginal influence in high electric field regime.

description: In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the Riccati differential equation with constant coefficients and a modified Gerasimov-Caputo type fractional differential operator of variable order. Using Newton's numerical algorithm, calculation curves are constructed taking into account different values of the Cauchy problem parameters. The calculation results are compared with the previously obtained results. The computational accuracy of the numerical algorithm is investigated. It is shown using the Runge rule that the computational accuracy tends to the accuracy of the numerical method when increasing the nodes of the calculated grid.

description: We search for the doubly charmed baryonic decay $\bar{B}^0\toΛ_c^+\barΛ_c^-$, in a data sample of $520\times10^6$ $B{\bar B}$ events accumulated at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e^+e^- collider. We find no significant signal and set an upper limit of ${\cal B}(\bar{B}^0\toΛ_c^+\barΛ_c^-)<6.2\times10^{-5}$ at 90% confidence level. The result is significantly below a naive extrapolation from ${\cal B}(B^-\toΞ_c^0\barΛ_c^)$ assuming a simple Cabibbo-suppression factor of $|V_{cd}/V_{cs}|^2$. The small branching fraction could be attributed to a suppression due to the large momentum of the baryonic decay products, which has been observed in other charmed baryonic two-body B decays. trend observed in other charmed baryonic two-body B decays.
