David Labate Interview for the Veterans\u27 Voices Project
No full textDavid V. Labate enlisted in the United States Air Force in February 1965. He was a member of Detachment 1, 903th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron. He served during the Vietnam War and achieved the rank of E-4. He provided medical support for casualties and sick service members in aeromedical flights and casualty staging facilities attached to the Army, Navy, and Marine medical units. He received the Air Medal and the Marine Presidential Unit Citation. Labate left military service in February 1969.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/veterans_voices/1107/thumbnail.jp
Detailed characterization of the early x-ray emission of a plasma produced by point-like laser irradiation of solid Al targets
No full textA study of the dynamics of the x-ray emission from a point-like Al plasma produced by tight-focusing laser irradiation of a thick target is reported. Two-dimensional maps of the x-ray emission calculated at selected wavelengths show that, due to the rapid expansion cooling, x-ray emission mostly originates from a thin spatial layer. These properties enabled the results of the simulations to be compared with time-resolved x-ray spectra obtained under well-controlled experimental conditions. The outcome of this comparison is discussed in details, in view of the results reported in a recently published Letter [L. A. Gizzi, C. A. Cecchetti, M. Galimberti, A. Giulietti, D. Giulietti, L. Labate, S. Laville, and B. Tomassini, Phys. Plasmas 10, 4601 (2003)]. Moreover, the x-ray-reabsorption issues and the role of the Doppler decoupling mechanism in the presence of the strong velocity gradient typical of our experimental condition are discussed, also in view of a possible dedicated experiment.

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin immunoexpression in colorectal carcinoma: A stage-specific prognostic factor?
No full textTNM post-surgical staging is considered to be one of the most powerful prognosticators for colorectal carcinoma. Although patient survival mostly decreases concomitantly to stage increase, in a percentage of cases TNM stage appears only to express the anatomic extent of the neoplasia with no correlation with clinical outcome. Thais, the identification of additional prognostic markers for colorectal cancer is required. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a 25-kDa protein that appears to play an important role in colorectal cancer progression. In order to evaluate whether NGAL expression may be considered as a predictor of colorectal cancer progression, we analyzed its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics, as well as with patient progression-free survival in a series of surgically resected colorectal carcinomas. A variable NGAL immunoexpression was found in 24 out of the 64 analyzed cases. When only the positive cases were considered, a significant association was found between a high NGAL expression and the presence of distant metastases or high tumor stage. In addition, the presence of NGAL was a significant negative prognostic marker correlated with a shorter progression-free survival in stage I colorectal carcinoma, but not in the remaining TNM stages. If our findings are confirmed in more extensive analyses on stage I colorectal carcinoma, NGAL assessment may be used in order to select those patients with a higher progression risk and to submit them to adjuvant therapies useful to prevent adverse outcome

The surface admittance equivalence principle for cloaking problems
No full textIn this paper, we apply a reformulated version of the Surface Equivalence Principle, originally defined for radiating phenomena in terms of tangential fields, to cloaking problems in terms of admittance functions at an arbitrary boundary. In order to cloak a dielectric/metallic object, the tangential fields ratio (admittance) can be controlled at any arbitrary attached/detached surface boundary. The dispersive surface admittance cloak, as originally introduced for Mantle Cloaking, is computed in a closed-form solution at any frequency regime (quasi-static and beyond)
