Immunological and regenerative properties of cord blood stem cells
No full textCord blood stem cells (CB-SCs) have shown impressive immunological and regenerative capabilities. In this review, we intend to review the state-of-the-art knowledge on CB-SCs characteristics and function as well as immunological and regenerative properties. We report an itemized classification of CB-SCs populations, which is important to better understand which tissues can be replaced using CB-SCs and how the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from CB-SCs is changing the field. Furthermore, we will discuss new findings on the immunosuppressive capability of CB-SCs in autoimmune disease (e.g., type 1 diabetes). Our review will demonstrate how CB-SCs could become a powerful tool not only for regenerative medicine but for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases as well
A Visual System Supporting Software Reuse in the Banking Legacy System Context
No full textBanking legacy systems intensively exchange messages in electronic format. Such systems are, for their nature, difficult to update and maintain. As a consequence, the introduction of new types of messages is a hard task. Adding new functionalities requires custom coding and software reuse is seen as a key to obtain a better time-to-market factor, risk and cost reduction. In this paper we describe the architecture arid part of the implementation of the SI.RE. Visual System, an Interbanking Network Information System that lets us generate gateways for the exchange of electronic messages among banking legacy systems and supports software reuse. In particular, the SI.RE visual system contains a Visual Programming Environment that allows us to obtain a rapid development of the message handling functions. This environment implements a Visual Programming Language UVG that allows a programmer to reuse COBOL routines
A Visual System for the Generation of Banking Legacy Systems Gateway
No full textBanking legacy systems intensively exchange messages in electronic format. Such systems are, for their nature, difficult to update and maintain. As a consequence, the introduction of new types of messages is a hard task. In this paper we describe the architecture and part of the implementation of the SI.RE. Visual System, an Interbanking Network Information System that lets us generate gateways for the exchange of electronic messages among banking legacy systems. In particular, the SIRE visual system contains a Visual Programming Environment (VPE) that allows us to obtain a rapid and secure development of the message handling functions. VPE implements a Visual Programming Language UVG that supports reuse of COBOL routines. Such a UVG language has been developed following a methodology here described that presents the great advantage to be, mostly, performed in automatic way
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Rilievi multibeam per il monitoraggio morfo-batimetrico della coltivazione di bacini di cava sottofalda
No full textIl lavoro descrive le basi teoriche e le metodologie operative dei rilievi morfo-batimetrici dei fondali di una serie di cave sottofalda ubicate nel settore occidentale del territorio provinciale di Treviso. Le misure sono state effettuate con un dispositivo MBES (Multi Beam Echo Sounder) installato a bordo di un’imbarcazione, predisposta per gli scopi del progetto, dotata di sistema di navigazione e di posizionamento GPS (Global Positioning System) differenziale. I rilievi hanno riguardato un totale di 20 unità lacustri, appartenenti a 13 bacini, ubicati nella fascia di media pianura compresa tra Treviso e Castelfranco Veneto
Analisi di dati laser scanner terrestre per la valutazione del rischio potenziale da instabilità di una parete rocciosa sulla Costa di Serravalle (Vittorio Veneto, TV)
No full textSi presentano i risultati del rilievo laser a scansione di una parete rocciosa ubicata nel Comune di Vittorio Veneto (Treviso). Si tratta di un versante in roccia estremamente acclive interessato da fenomeni di dissesto, appartenete alla serie di hogback subalpini che caratterizzano il passaggio al margine prealpino nel territorio provinciale trevigiano. Lo studio prevede la sperimentazione di tecniche di rilievo a distanza delle condizioni della parete rocciosa per la classificazione morfologica e la definizione dei settori a rischio potenziale di crollo superficiale. Viene illustrata la strumentazione utilizzata, i metodi di rilievo e di analisi dei risultati. Il rilievo laserscan è stato integrato da un’indagine termografica. Le diverse informazioni dei dati elaborati dal modello della superficie e - laddove necessario - corretti dalla foto terrestre georiferita sono stati sintetizzati per ottenere la mappa da rischio instabilità di versante. I dati sono stati elaborati attraverso un algoritmo multicriteria evaluation (MCE) che ha permesso di pesare le variabili a disposizione e di sintetizzarle in una mappa finale che indica il diverso grado di rischio di distacco
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
