XIX° Convegno Nazionale di Micologia
No full textA Gubbio (PG) nei giorni 11 e 12 ottobre 2012 si è svolto il XIX Convegno Nazionale di Micologia, in cui sono stati presentati sotto forma di relazione orale, lavori riguardanti tutti gli aspetti della micologia. Alcune relazioni hanno riguardato i macrofunghi ed in particolare quelli appartenenti al genere Tuber, altri lavori presentavano dati inerenti i funghi responsabili di malattie di piante erbacee ed arboree, altri ancora i funghi endofiti. Viene brevemente illustrato il contenuto delle diverse sessioni in cui si è articolato il convegno
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
Author's reply: Comments on delay-dependent robust H-infinity control for uncertain systems with a state-delay
No full textIn the above-mentioned comment, the authors point out a technical problem with the paper [Lee, Y. S., Moon, Y. S., Kwon, W. H., & Park, P. G. (2004). Delay-dependent robust H-infinity control for uncertain systems with a state-delay. Automatica, 40(1), 65-72]. We show this technical problem can be solved by changing the proof of Theorem 3.1.

An Econometric model for the evolution of the Romanian Interbank Bid Rate (ROBID) in the context of the international financial crisis
No full textThe paper presents the econometric modeling of overnight inter-banking interest rates (ROBID) in our country, the analyzed period is between 1999-2010. The international financial crises had a great impact on the level of inter-banking interest rates after 2007 and it reflects the new level of risk for the Romanian system banking. The econometric model used in modeling the interest rates is an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model, the ARMA model is typically applied to time series data; the paper propose several ARMA models, applies econometric tests and based on them the analyzed series (the inter-banking interest rates) forecast will be made.ROBID, ARIMA model, financial crisis, forecast.

Covalent hyaluronic-based coating of magnetite nanoparticles: Preparation, physicochemical and biological characterization
No full textIn this paper we report about the preparation, physicochemical and biological characterization of a magneto responsive nanostructured material based on magnetite nanoparticles (NP) coated with hyaluronic acid (HA). A synthetic approach, based on a Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition “click” reaction between azido-functionalized magnetite NP and a derivative of hyaluronic acid bearing propargylated ferulic acid groups (HA-FA-Pg), was developed to link covalently the polymer layer to the magnetite NP. The functionalization steps of the magnetite NP and their coating with the HA-FA-Pg layer were monitored by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) while Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and ζ- potential measurements were performed to characterize the aqueous dispersions of the HA-coated magnetite NP. Aggregation and sedimentation processes were investigated also by UV-visible spectroscopy and the dispersions of HA-coated magnetite NP were found significantly more stable than those of bare NP. Magnetization and zero field cooled/field cooled curves revealed that both bare and HA-coated magnetite NP are superparamagnetic at room temperature. Moreover, cytotoxicity studies showed that the coating with HA-FA-Pg significantly reduces the cytotoxicity of the magnetite NP providing the rational basis for the application of the HA-coated magnetite NP as healthcare material
