    Implementation to back-projection techniques of resistivity data

    No full text
    In order to obtain well contrasted images by back-projection of resistivity data some modifications to the back-projection algorithm as well as the use of filtering techniques for the sensitivity matrix were proposed (Kotre 1994; Cosentino et al. 1998). To further improve the back-projection algorithm a new implementation is here suggested. Besides a subsequent filtering algorithm of the sensitivity coefficient matrix is proposed. It is aimed to increase resistivity contrasts and to reduce smoothness in tomographic final representation. Finally the proposed technique is tested on synthetic data

    In questo “Focus” vengono presentati i risultati dell'attività svolta dal gruppo di ricerca del professor Carlo Cosentino, della Scuola di Scienze A g r a r i e , F o r e s t a l i , Alimentari ed Ambientali (SAFE) dell'Università degli Studi della Basilicata, nell'ambito del progetto “La Zoocosmesi per le imprese e l’innovazione di prodotto” finanziato dal Programma Operativo FSE Basilicata 2007-2013, Asse IV Capitale Umano. Parte dei risultati della ricerca sono stati presentati a Milano nell'ambito dell'incontro “All'ombra dei Castelli Federiciani: Transumando con i pastori” e saranno riproposti a Potenza (il 16 luglio, alle ore 11.00 presso Pavese Gomme, via della Siderurgica), dove sarà possibile anche visionare e testare il nuovo prodotto realizzato per l ' i g i e n e d e l l e m a n i ( i n f o s u : www.biodiversitazootecnica.it)

    Prosopografia dell'Italia bizantina (493-804). P-Z, Addenda, Anonymi

    No full text
    Il presente studio costituisce il terzo e ultimo volume della Prosopografia dell’Italia bizantina (= PIB), in cui vengono pubblicati gli addenda ai primi due volumi (A-F, G-O), le lettere P-Z, gli Anonymi, un’appendice a cura di Elena Gritti e, infine, gli «indici di distribuzione sociale» e gli «indici di distribuzione geografica». Con esso ha termine un’opera complessivamente di oltre 1600 pagine, con una trattazione della geografia amministrativa dell’Italia bizantina, nonché sette appendici su temi prosopografici, nella quale vengono censiti circa 4600 individui attivi in uno spazio regionale che tra il 493 e il 568 comprende tutta la penisola italica, per poi restringersi alle sole province dell’Italia bizantina (inclusa la Sardegna) tra il 569 e l’804. L’indagine è rivolta all’anagrafe di laici ed ecclesiastici menzionati nelle fonti appartenenti alle seguenti categorie: militari, funzionari dell’amministrazione civile, ecclesiastici, possessores, artigiani, commercianti, monaci. Salvatore Cosentino, autore dei primi due volumi, in questo terzo volume è responsabile della redazione delle lettere P-R

    Dataset of mRNA levels for dopaminergic receptors, adrenoceptors and tyrosine hydroxylase in lymphocytes from subjects with clinically isolated syndromes

    No full text
    This data article presents a dataset of mRNA levels for dopaminergic receptors, adrenoceptors and for tyrosine hydoxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells as well as in CD4+ T effector and regulatory cells from subjects with clinically isolated syndromes (CIS), which is a first episode of neurological disturbance(s) suggestive of multiple sclerosis. CIS subjects are divided into two groups according to their eventual progression, after 12 months from CIS, to clinically established multiple sclerosis. The data reported are related to the article entitled "Dopaminergic receptors and adrenoceptors in circulating lymphocytes as putative biomarkers for the early onset and progression of multiple sclerosis" (M. Cosentino, M. Zaffaroni, M. Legnaro, R. Bombelli, L. Schembri, D. Baroncini, A. Bianchi, R. Clerici, M. Guidotti, P. Banfi, G. Bono, F. Marino, 2016

    A case of REM sleep behavior disorder, narcolepsy-cataplexy, parkinsonism, and rheumatoid arthritis

    No full text
    A patient is reported in whom signs and symptoms of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and narcolepsy have been associated for almost two decades with a late development of parkinsonism and rheumatoid arthritis. A 78-year-old male patient in whom RBD was first diagnosed was followed-up by clinical examination, video-polysomnography, multiple sleep latency test, cerebral magnetic resonance imaging, and dopamine transporter imaging by single-photon emission computerized tomography. The patient was found to present for almost two decades, in addition to RBD, also narcolepsy. Moreover, a late development of parkinsonism and the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis were detected and clinically and instrumentally characterized. Patients predisposed to RBD and later parkinsonism might be susceptible to a variety of triggers that, in our patient, might have been represented by a possible latent autoimmune process leading to the development of narcolepsy with cataplexy and rheumatoid arthritis, later.Filomena I.

    Impact of the genus Amphistegina on the benthic foraminiferal association of the Pelagian Islands, an example of invasion in the Central Mediterranean Sea

    No full text
    In recent years the Mediterranean Sea is increasingly subject to colonization by non-indigenous marine organisms, many of which migrate through the Suez Canal. Its opening, which took place in 1869, connected two different biogeographical provinces after millions of years, facilitating the migration of over 600 nonindigenous species, some of which are seriously threatening the native biodiversity. This study shows the results of benthic foraminiferal analyses carried out on algal and sediment samples collected in 2014 around the Pelagian Islands (Lampedusa and Linosa). These islands, starting from 2005 (the year of the first report), are undergoing the invasion of the non-native Indo-Pacific species Amphistegina lobifera Larsen. The obtained data have been compared with those of previous sampling carried out in 2005 and 2009 (Caruso & Cosentino, 2014). This comparison highlights how, in most cases, A. lobifera is increasing its abundance dominating the assemblages with percentages over 50% and causing the drastic decrease of the native species. Its carbonatic tests, accumulated on the Linosa seabed are progressively changing the composition of marine sediments and for the first time are also giving rise to accumulations in the coastal environment, inside pools filled during storm surges, as happens in the Indo-Pacific atolls. These results show how, in just a few years, some non-indigenous foraminifera are capable of massively colonize new environments, modifying native biodiversity and influencing sedimentary processes.
