Abstract. Biomineralogy, as the complex of interactions at different levels (cell, organism, species, and community) between organisms and minerals, may play a significant role in the spatial distribution and structure of marine communities. For instance, a negative influence of quartz has been underlined on the Mediterranean benthic communities, which show a species‐poorer structure in quartz‐rich environments. Excluding the role of quartz, the aim of this work is to verify whether the composition ...

Abstract The tube of Ficopomatus enigmaticus (Fauvel) has two different layers: an outer, 90 μm‐thick calcareous one and an inner, very thin organic membrane. Prismatic crystals, about 5 μm in length, are evident at the inner surface of the calcareous layer. In the reef‐like aggregates, tubes grow perpendicular to the substratum and are closely packed: their density ranges from 70 000 to 180 000 worms‐m‐2, and distance between tube mouths averages 1.2 mm. Adherence between tubes appears to be due ...

Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are DNA-mimicking molecules in which the sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by a pseudopeptide backbone composed of N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units. We determined whether double-stranded molecules based on PNAs and PNA-DNA-PNA (PDP) chimeras could be capable of stable interactions with nuclear proteins belonging to the Sp1 transcription factor family and, therefore, could act as decoy reagents able to inhibit molecular interactions between Sp1 and DNA. Since the structure ...

Abstract We present the case of a 40‐year‐old man with rheumatoid arthritis who had a painless left inguinal mass. Sonographic examination revealed a large soft tissue mass with mixed internal echotexture and regular borders extending inside the pelvis and into the proximal portion of the thigh. Sonography also showed communication between the bursa of the iliopsoas muscle and the hip cavity, with intra‐articular synovitis and erosion of the ileum. Giant iliopsoas bursitis secondary to hip involvement ...

As our understanding of the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases is growing, new therapies are being developed to target disease-specific pathways. Since the introduction of etanercept in 1998, several biotechnological agents have been developed, most of them indicated in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, but also psoriatic arthritis. Most currently available molecules target TNF-alfa with different strategies (i.e., etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, and certolizumab pegol), IL-6 ( ...

Double-stranded molecules based on peptide nucleic acids (PNAs)-DNA chimeras carrying binding sites for known transcription factors could be of great interest in decoy pharmacotherapy of neoplastic diseases. For instance, decoy molecules recognizing Sp1 and NF-kappaB transcription factors were found to inhibit tumor cell growth and invasion activity. In this respect, we have recently found that double-stranded PNA-DNA chimeras carrying NF-kappaB binding sites inhibit the binding of NF-kappaB p52 ...

Since finding control policies using Reinforcement Learning (RL) can be very time consuming, in recent years several authors have investigated how to speed up RL algorithms by making improved action selections based on heuristics. In this work we present new theoretical results - convergence and a superior limit for value estimation errors - for the class that encompasses all heuristics-based algorithms, called Heuristically Accelerated Reinforcement Learning. We also expand this new class by proposing ...

The synthesis of highly-crystalline porous TiO2 microspheres is reported using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) in the presence of colloidal silica as a template. We have exploited the interactions between hot SiO2 template particles surface and TiO2 precursor that occur during reaction inside the droplets, to control the physical and chemical properties of the resulting particles. Varying the SiO2 to titanium precursor molar ratio and the colloidal silica dimension, we obtained porous titania microspheres ...

The importance of the choice of a suitable substrate as supporting material for photoactive TiO2, either in the form of powders or thin films or in photoactive paints, is frequently disregarded. In this paper four different supports (stainless steel, sand-blasted stainless steel, Teflon and glass) are object of investigation. The final aim is to verify the presence of interactions between the photocatalyst (AEROXIDE® TiO2 P25 by Evonik Degussa Corporation) and the support, directly involved in the ...

Aquatic migratory birds are a major vectors by which influenza viruses and paramyxoviruses are spread in nature. Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) are usually present on the southern shores of South America and can swim as far as the southern coast of Brazil in winter. In 2008, however, several Magellanic penguins were observed on the northeastern coast of Brazil. Paramyxoviruses were isolated from Magellanic penguins on the Espírito Santo state coast, approximately 4000 km from their ...

In this work we report the design and synthesis of kinked oligonucleotide duplexes as potential inhibitors of HMGB1, a cytokine which triggers a broad range of immunological effects. We found that the designed ligands can interact with HMGB1, as evidenced by circular dichroism spectroscopy, and are able to block some extracellular effects induced by the protein, such as cellular proliferation and migration, as we demonstrated by in vitro biological assays. After selecting the most stable and active ...

Summary Experimental and clinical findings have shown in the past decade that specific proinflammatory mediators and their cognate receptors are upregulated in epileptic brain tissue. In particular, the IL‐1 receptor (R)/Toll‐like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways are activated in experimental models of seizures and in human epileptic tissue from drug‐resistant patients. Pharmacological targeting of these proinflammatory pathways using selective receptor antagonists, or the use of transgenic mice ...

Quantum groups and noncommutative spaces have been repeatedly utilized in approaches to quantum gravity. They provide a mathematically elegant cutoff, often interpreted as related to the Planck-scale quantum uncertainty in position. We consider here a different geometrical interpretation of this cutoff, where the relevant noncommutative space is the space of directions around any spacetime point. The limitations in angular resolution express the finiteness of the angular size of a Planck-scale minimal ...

These polypeptides are synthesized by the adult female fat bodies and are found in the yolk granules. The vitellin molecule is formed at least by the polypeptides V1, V2 and two others, V4 and V5 with molecular weights of 67,000 and 55,000 respectively. ...

This review summarize cycloreversions which give rise to octet‐stabilized 1,3‐dipoles. The reaction can be either thermal or photochemical or electron impact induced. The aim of the article is to survey the published results, to emphasize the synthetic potential of this reaction, and to stimulate the study of its several not ...

Wearables are valuable solutions for monitoring a variety of physiological parameters. Their application in cardiorespiratory monitoring may significantly impact global health problems and the economic burden related to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Here, we describe a soft biosensor capable of monitoring heart (HR) and respiratory (RR) rates simultaneously. We show that a skin-interfaced biosensor based on fiber optics (i.e., the smart patch) is capable of estimating HR and RR by detecting ...
