GIOVANNA ZANGRANDI: NEGOTIATING FASCISM (1998)

When, in February 1955, the face of the forty-five-year-old Giovanna Zangrandi appeared on the pages of Epoca, it was the publication of her prize-winning, first novel, I Brusaz, and her unusual lifestyle as landlady, writer, and mountaineer living in the picturesque resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo, that caught the imagination of her interviewer, Roberto De Monticelli. Although originally from Emilia Romagna, Zangrandi and her novel seemed thoroughly immersed in the culture and natural environment of this remote area. In later years, she would be associated not only with the Cadore, but more particularly with a precise period in its history: the armed Resistance to fascism between 1943 and 1945. Indeed, Zangrandi's participation in the Resistance as a partisan with the garibaldini came to be regarded as the most significant feature of her life and writing. Yet, as is the case of many Italians, Zangrandi's involvement with the Resistance only began shortly after the fall of the fascist regime in 1943; before this date she does not seem to have been a member of any antifascist group and her activities point to a participation in fascist institutions, rather than any attempt to undermine them. During her student days at Bologna University, she had joined the Gioventù Universitaria Fascista, and, according to a postwar newspaper article she wrote, she had joined the PNF in 1934. When she moved to Cortina d'Ampezzo, she became a member of the local Fasci Femminili and was made female sports officer in 1939. She also contributed to local newspapers, which, given fascist policies regarding the media, meant writing for a press whose purpose was to provide propaganda for the regime. Nevertheless, this period of her life, during the fascist regime and prior to her involvement in the Resistance, has tended to be ignored. That has not only prejudiced assessments of Zangrandi's post-war writing, but has also failed to take account of the insights Zangrandi's articles in the fascist press provide for the study of women and fascism (especially as she belonged to the middle class identified as providing so much support for the regime), and for research into the press and regional history of this period. An analysis of Zangrandi's work as a fascist journalist can be put into context better by first examining her later writing and her presentation of fascism in the post-war period. In this way, the picture of her interests and relationship with fascism as they emerge from her writing under the censorship of the regime may be compared to the manner in which she chose to present them afterwards, when there was no longer formal government censorship, but when influences and constraints on her writing as a journalist and author came from elsewhere

Bacterial chromosome extraction and isolation (2002)

We have used diffusive mixing and dielectrophoretic trapping to lyse Escherichia coli cells in a microfabricated environment and trap the E. coli chromosome. We characterize the conditions needed for efficient lysis of the cells, and conditions needed for the dielectrophoretic trapping of the chromatin without the trapping of cytoplasmic proteins.
A study of norms in convex optimization super-resolution from compressed sources (2017)

Advancements over the last decade in video acquisition and display technologies lead to a continuous increase of video content resolution. These aspects combined with the shift towards cloud multimedia services and the underway adoption of High Efficiency Video Coding standards (HEVC) create a lot of interest for Super-Resolution (SR) and video enhancing techniques. Recent works showed that proximal based convex optimization approaches provide a promising direction in video restoration. An important aspect in the definition of a SR model is the metric used in defining the objective function. Most techniques are based on the classical I <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> norm. In this paper we further investigate the use of other norms and their behavior w.r.t. multiple quality evaluation metrics. We show that significant gains of up to 0.5 dB can be obtained when using different norms.
Analysis of Gluten in Dried Yeast and Yeast-Containing Products (2020)

Yeast are commonly used in the preparation of foods and beverages such as beer and bread and may also be used on their own as a source of nutrients and flavoring. Because of the historical connection of yeast to products made from wheat and barley, consumers maintaining a gluten-free diet can have concerns about the safety of yeast ingredients. Analyzing the safety of yeast and yeast-containing products presents some difficulties, as the yeast organisms actively degrade any gluten in the product, raising questions on the appropriateness of detection by traditional antibody-based methods. This study examines a variety of yeast and yeast-containing products by competitive ELISA and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for the estimated level of gluten proteins. While samples such as yeast extracts and nutritional yeast contained gluten levels below the 20 mg/kg (or parts per million, ppm) threshold defined by Codex Alimentarius, one baking yeast and a nutritional yeast supplement sample contained higher levels of gluten. This study demonstrates that both competitive ELISA and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry provide similar results in the detection of wheat and barley gluten in yeast-containing products.

High-level composition of QoS-aware Grid workflows: An approach that considers location affinity (2006)

At a high level of abstraction grid applications are commonly specified based on the workflow paradigm. We consider that for the wide acceptance of grid technology it is relevant that the user has the possibility to express requirements on quality of service (QoS) at workflow specification time. However, most of the existing workflow languages lack constructs for QoS specification, or provide only limited QoS support. In this paper we present an approach for high level workflow specification that considers a comprehensive set of QoS requirements. Besides performance related QoS, it includes economical, legal and security aspects. For instance, for security or legal reasons the user may express the location affinity regarding grid resources on which certain workflow tasks may be executed. Our QoS aware workflow system provides support for the whole workflow life cycle from specification to execution. Workflow is specified graphically, in an intuitive manner, based on a standard visual modeling language. We illustrate our approach with a real world workflow for maxillo facial surgery simulation.
Novelty-based visual obstacle detection in agriculture (2014)

This paper describes a novel obstacle detection system for autonomous robots in agricultural field environments that uses a novelty detector to inform stereo matching. Stereo vision alone erroneously detects obstacles in environments with ambiguous appearance and ground plane such as in broad-acre crop fields with harvested crop residue. The novelty detector estimates the probability density in image descriptor space and incorporates image-space positional understanding to identify potential regions for obstacle detection using dense stereo matching. The results demonstrate that the system is able to detect obstacles typical to a farm at day and night. This system was successfully used as the sole means of obstacle detection for an autonomous robot performing a long term two hour coverage task travelling 8.5 km.
Calcium- and zinc-binding proteins in intracellular transport. (1996)

The complex mechanism of intracellular transport is regulated by free calcium in different manners. Calcium binding proteins regulate several aspects of the vesicle fusion mechanism mediated by NSF (N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion factor). At least in some regulated exocytosis, calcium-binding proteins are the trigger for fusion downstream of NSF, Still, calcium-binding proteins, such as annexins, may be part of a different fusion mechanism mediating some specific transport steps or working in parallel to the NSF-dependent fusion process. Calcium is not the only ion necessary for the function of factors involved in vesicular transport. A zinc requirement has been also proposed. One of the zinc-dependent factors is probably a protein with a cysteine-rich region that coordinates zinc and binds phorbol esters. Although protein kinase C is the more prominent family of proteins carrying this domain, the factor necessary for transport does not appear to function as a kinase.

DARPA MobiVisor: An Architecture for High Assurance for Untrusted Applications on Wireless Handheld Devices via Lightweight Virtualization (2010)

Abstract : This report summarizes the research and activities of the project entitled An Architecture for High Assurance for Untrusted Applications on Wireless Handheld Devices via Lightweight Virtualization or simply DARPA MobiVisor. In this work, GMU introduces a containment based security enforcement mechanism designed to contain applications inside virtual containers, separating the running instance of a program from the rest of the system while providing a complete execution environment that supports monitoring, profiling, and controlling applications. A two-fold approach is taken towards these goals: isolation through virtualization and resource management. Isolation addresses the containment of processes at process control and file system levels, whereas resource management handles accounting, profiling, and provisioning of system resources (including CPU, memory, network, battery, and storage, etc). With these mechanisms in place, it is believed that a wide range of security policies can be effectively enforced to provide a secure and lightweight execution environment for applications for smart handheld devices.

Evaluation of ion-selective electrode methodology for integrated on-the-go mapping of soil chemical properties (pH, K & NO3) (2005)

Knowledge of the spatial variability of soil attributes is critical for precision agriculture.Different approaches to assess this variability on-the-go have been taken through development ofsoil sensors. A new ion-selective electrode (ISE) based approach was implemented for simultaneousmapping of soil pH, residual nitrate (NO3-) and soluble potassium (K+) contents. In this publication,the results of laboratory experiments investigating the effects of key measurement parameters arereported. These parameters include: soil-water ratio (SWR), quality of water used for electroderinsing (QWR) and for ion extraction (QWE), presence of ionic strength adjuster (ISA) and solutionagitation (stirring). Based on this study involving four different soils, the following measurementparameters were recommended: agitated purified water extraction without ISA, addition of a fixedamount of water (preferably 1:1 soil-water ratio), and regular (tap) water for electrode rinsing.
A Predictive Traffic Controller for Sustainable Mobility Using Parameterized Control Policies (2012)

We present a freeway-traffic control strategy that continuously adapts traffic control measures to prevailing traffic conditions and features faster computation speed than conventional model-based predictive control (MPC). The control approach is based on the principles of state feedback control and MPC. Instead of computing the control input sequence, the proposed controller optimizes the parameters of control laws that parametrize the control input sequences. This way, the computational burden of the controller is substantially reduced. We demonstrate the proposed control approach on a calibrated model of part of the Dutch A12 freeway using variable speed limits and ramp-metering rate.
Age-Associated Endocrine Deficiencies and Muscle Function in Elderly Women - A Cross-Sectional Study (1997)

Patients with cognitive impairment and dementia account for 25% of casualty attendances due to falls in people aged 65 and over. Our aim was to identify the clinical characteristics of these patients. 30 patients, aged 65 and over, who presented to casualty with a fall and met recognised criteria for cognitive impairment (Minimental state examination (MMSE) < 24) underwent a multidisciplinary post-fall assessment The mean age was 84 (SD 6.4) and 87% (n=26) were female. The median MMSE score was 13.5; 87% (n=26) met the International Classification of Diseases, Revision 10, (ICD-10) criteria for dementia. 83% (n=25) sustained significant injury; 63% (n=19) required inpatient admission. 60% (n18) had 3 falls in the previous year. 83% (n=25) co-operated with investigation; a diagnosis was reached in all patients. The median number of diagnoses was 5, range 1-7. Diagnoses included: 90% (n=27) impairment of gait or balance; 53% (n=16) cardiovascular problem; 47% (n=14) medication contributing to falls; 27% (n=8) untreated medical problem; and 13% (n=4) environmental hazard. All had diagnoses in which intervention has been shown to reduce falls in cognitively normal patients. In conclusion, patients with cognitive impairment and dementia were able to co-operate with multi-disciplinary investigation of falls. A diagnosis was reached in all patients. There is the potential for intervention to reduce the risk of further falls in patients with cognitive impairment and dementia.
Aspergillus has distinct fatty acid synthases for primary and secondary metabolism (1996)

Aspergillus nidulans contains two functionally distinct fatty acid synthases (FASs): one required for primary fatty acid metabolism (FAS) and the other required for secondary metabolism (sFAS). FAS mutants require long-chain fatty acids for growth, whereas sFAS mutants grow normally but cannot synthesize sterigmatocystin (ST), a carcinogenic secondary metabolite structurally and biosynthetically related to aflatoxin. sFAS mutants regain the ability to synthesize ST when provided with hexanoic acid, supporting the model that the ST polyketide synthase uses this short-chain fatty acid as a starter unit. The characterization of both the polyketide synthase and FAS may provide novel means for modifying secondary metabolites.
Wavefront control by stacked metal-dielectric hole array with variable hole shapes (2013)

A stacked metal-dielectric hole array (SHA) containing rectangular holes whose shape gradually varies in-plane is proposed as a means of achieving wavefront control. The dependence of the transmitted phase on the frequency can be tuned by the hole shape, in particular the length of the sides that are normal to the incident polarization. The combination of periodic holes along the polarization direction and the gradual change in hole shape normal to the polarization direction produce an inclined wavefront for 1-dimensional beam steering. An in-plane phase difference of 0.6π using an SHA with a thickness of one-sixth of the wavelength has been experimentally demonstrated.
Reversible carbon–carbon bond formation between carbonyl compounds and a ruthenium pincer complex (2013)

Multiphoton fluorescence lifetime imaging of 3D‐stem cell spheroids during differentiation (2010)

Long-term high-resolution multiphoton imaging of nonlabeled human salivary gland stem cell spheroids has been performed with submicron spatial resolution, 10.5-nm spectral resolution, and picosecond temporal resolution. In particular, the two-photon-excited coenzyme NAD(P)H and flavins have been detected by time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC). Stem cells increased their autofluorescence lifetimes and decreased their total fluorescence intensity during the adipogenic-differentiation process. In addition, the onset of the biosynthesis of lipid vacuoles was monitored over a period of several weeks in stem-cell spheroids. Time-resolved multiphoton autofluorescence imaging microscopes may become a promising tool for marker-free stem-cell characterization and cell sorting.
In Vivo and In Vitro Effects of SAR 943, a Rapamycin Analogue, on Airway Inflammation and Remodeling (2003)

No current therapy is considered to be satisfactory for severe asthma, and alternative approaches are still required for what is a major unmet medical need. In this study, we compared the effect of a rapamycin derivative, SAR 943, with budesonide, using a murine model of lung inflammation and remodeling. Allergen challenge of ovalbumin-sensitized BALB/c mice induced an increase in the levels of interleukin-5 and interleukin-4; numbers of eosinophil, neutrophil, and lymphocyte; cellular fibronectin; lung epithelial cell proliferation and mucus hypersecretory phenotype; as well as hyperreactivity to methacholine. Both SAR 943 and budesonide, when given intranasally 1 hour before and 24 hours after the aerosol challenge, inhibited all of these parameters with a similar potency (effective dose 50% of 1 mg/kg). In primary cultured smooth muscle cells from human airways, SAR 943 dose dependently inhibited epidermal growth factor-induced proliferation but did not affect the basal cell proliferation. Neither the basal nor stimulated proliferation of a human bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE14o-) was affected by SAR 943. In conclusion, SAR 943 is as effective as budesonide in inhibiting both lung inflammation and remodeling in a murine model of asthma. Hence, this class of compound could offer beneficial effects in patients with severe asthma.

Mechanical Characterization of Parts Processed via Fused Deposition (1998)

The possibility of using materials with better physical and mechanical properties together with the quickly improving capabilities of various processes increasingly make Rapid Prototyping (RP) as a new manufacturing technology for specialty components. In Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), the build orientation and the toolpath used strongly affect the properties of the part. This study presents the results of experimental work based on mechanical characterization of parts fabricated with fused deposition to determine the stiffness matrix and the thermal expansion coefficients for an equivalent orthotropic material. The results can be directly adapted into computational analysis tools based on classical lamination theory, for part quality and performance prediction. Current investigation focuses on use ofABS material in Stratasys FDM 1650 rapid prototyping equipment.
A Spatial Augmented Reality rehab system for post-stroke hand rehabilitation. (2013)

This paper features a Spatial Augmented Reality system for rehabilitation of hand and arm movement. The table-top home-based system tracks a subject's hand and creates a virtual audio-visual interface for performing rehabilitation-related tasks that involve wrist, elbow, and shoulder movements. It measures range, speed, and smoothness of movements locally and can send the real-time photos and data to the clinic for further assessment. To evaluate the system, it was tested on two normal subjects and proved functional.
Fast-Acting Insulin Aspart and the Need for New Mealtime Insulin Analogues in Adults With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes: A Canadian Perspective (2019)

Limiting postprandial glucose (PPG) excursions is an important aspect of overall glycemic control. Rapid-acting insulin analogues (RAIAs) aim to mimic the physiologic action of endogenous insulin observed in individuals without diabetes and prevent excessive PPG excursions. However, many people with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes treated with RAIAs do not achieve glycated hemoglobin (A1C) targets, and there is an unmet need for further improvements in PPG control. Current RAIAs have a delayed onset and a longer duration of action compared with endogenous insulin secreted in response to meals. Approaches to developing new mealtime insulins with accelerated absorption kinetics include changing the route of administration (i.e. via inhalation) and changing the insulin formulation. Fast-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) is a novel formulation of insulin aspart (IAsp) containing the excipients niacinamide and L-arginine. Faster aspart has an earlier onset of insulin exposure and a greater early glucose-lowering effect than IAsp. In large clinical trials, mealtime faster aspart demonstrated noninferiority to IAsp with respect to A1C reduction and provided superior PPG control with no increase in overall severe or blood glucose-confirmed hyperglycemia. In addition, faster aspart administered up to 20 min after the start of a meal was noninferior to mealtime IAsp in terms of A1C control, highlighting the opportunity for postmeal dosing. Faster aspart is the first of a new generation of mealtime insulins to be approved in Canada for the treatment of adults with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, and it is included in the 2018 Diabetes Canada clinical practice guidelines.
