More Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes from Pantelleria Mediterranean maquis litter
No full textThis is the second contribution to the knowledge of Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes found on different plant litters from Pantelleria mediterranean maquis. Four new species are proposted while others are identified only as genera because of the scanty material found
Interpretation of Generalization in Masked Language Models: An Investigation Straddling Quantifiers and Generics
No full textGenerics are statements that express generalizations and are used to communicate generalizable knowledge. While generics convey general truths (e.g., Birds can fly), they often allow for exceptions (e.g., penguins do not fly). Nonetheless, generics form the basis of how we communicate our commonsense about the world. We explored the interpretation of generics in Masked Language Models (MLMs), building on psycholinguistic experimental designs. As this interpretation requires a comparison with overtly quantified sentences, we investigated i) the probability of quantifiers, ii) the internal representation of nouns in generic vs. quantified sentences, and iii) whether the presence of a generic sentence as context influences quantifiers’ probabilities. The outcomes confirm that MLMs are insensitive to quantification; nevertheless, they appear to encode a meaning associated with the generic form, which leads them to reshape the probability associated with various quantifiers when the generic sentence is provided as context

Dopo la Grande Guerra. Politiche della memoria e monumentalizzazione della storia
No full textContestualizzazione storica della memoria della Grande guerra nell'Italia degli anni Venti e Trenta, anni nei quali lo scultore Domenico Rambelli realizza alcune delle sue opere più importanti: il "Fante che dorme" a Brisighella, il monumento a Francesco Baracca a Lugo di Romagna, il monumento ad Alfredo Oriani a Faenza
Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes from Bosco Isola (S Italy) Mediterranean maquis litter
No full textThis is the fifth contribution to the knowledge of Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes colonizing the litter in Mediterranean maquis. Twelve species are described and notes on the morphological characters are pointed out. Three of them are reported as genus, they need an examination of more materia
Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes from Pantelleria Mediterranean maquis litter. Third contribution
No full textIn the third contribution to the study of Pantelleria meditteranean maquis litter, thirteen species of Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes are found and described. Three of them are proposed as new species: Anungitea pseudoramosa, A. sibaensis and Subulispora insularis
Polypyrrole: a drug eluting membrane for coronary stents
No full textAn approach to reducing restenosis after coronary angioplasty is the use of drug- eluting stents which release, usually over a period of one month, a bioactive molecule that interferes with the biological processes responsible for restenosis. Given its biocompatibility and ease of electrochemical synthesis in aqueous medium, we investigated the viability of polypyrrole directly electrosynthesized on a metal surface in the presence of an anionic drug as electrolyte. The drug, which is incorporated during the electrosynthesis of p-doped polypyrrole, remains partly entrapped after the discharge of the polymer to the neutral form and can then be released over several days, a suitable time range for drug-eluting stents
