Background: Advances in nanotechnology have lead to the development of a novel contrast media for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - the Vision Health superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPIO).SPIO nanoparticles are used to image inflammation on the cellular level in various settings.This review covers the physicochemical characteristics of
This study is focused on the development of a Bayesian network for air quality assessment and aims at offering a pragmatic and scientifically credible approach to modelling complex systems where substantial uncertainties exist.In particular, the main Reed object is the prediction of the occurrence of suitable conditions for the stagnation of pollut
Changes in bacterial physiology necessarily precede cell death in response to antibiotics.Herein we investigate the early disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis as a marker for antibiotic response.Using a machine learning framework, we quantify the temporal information encoded in single-cell Ca2+ dynamics.We find Ca2+ dynamics distinguish kanamycin sensiti
In this work, an advanced 2D nonparametric correlogram method is presented to cope with output-only measurements of linear (slow) time-varying systems.The proposed method is a novel generalization of the kernel function-based regularization techniques that have been developed for estimating linear time-invariant impulse response functions.In Shelve
An extensive study of the representations of Europe in history textbooks has been conducted with regards to Italian lower Shelves secondary school (Pingel 1994, 2000, 2003a, 2003b; Cajani 2003).These studies have included considerations upon the history of European integration, although this was not their exclusive topic.To date, however, few piece
