Alla ricerca di radici nel mondo « per una vita migliore ». Incontrarsi tra residenti e turisti a Lalibela (Etiopia), piccola città del patrimonio mondiale by Marie Bridonneau

“…Al di la del “paradigma critico-induttivo” che evidenzia i pericoli che possono derivare dal turismo in alcune spazi sociali del Sud, qui si intende mostrare come il turismo sia un momento di contatto con il mondo per una società locale ben poco inserita nei flussi internazionali, o meglio, come si verifichino in questo contesto pratiche di ibridazione e rappresentazioni culturali. …”

Parenterally Administered Norovirus GII.4 Virus-Like Particle Vaccine Formulated with Aluminum Hydroxide or Monophosphoryl Lipid A Adjuvants Induces Systemic but Not Mucosal Immune... by Suvi Heinimäki, Maria Malm, Timo Vesikari, Vesna Blazevic

“…As expected, strong serum IgG, IgG1, and IgG2a antibodies as well as a dose sparing effect were induced by both Al(OH)3 and MPLA, but no mucosal IgA antibodies were detected. In contrast, IN immunization with GII.4 VLPs without an adjuvant induced systemic as well as mucosal IgA antibody response. …”

Effects of Internal Pressure on Urban Water Supply Pipeline Leakage-Induced Soil Subsidence Mechanisms by Jingyu Cui, Fengyin Liu, Ruidi Chen, Shuangshuang Wang, Cheng Pu, Xu Zhao

“…High-pressure seepage causes noticeable erosion in the soil, forming cavities within it. In contrast, low-pressure seepage results in water diffusing in an ellipsoidal pattern, leading to the formation of circular surface cracks. …”

From Presbyopia to Cataracts: A Critical Review on Dysfunctional Lens Syndrome by Joaquín Fernández, Manuel Rodríguez-Vallejo, Javier Martínez, Ana Tauste, David P. Piñero

“…Different alterations in the refractive properties and transparency of the lens are produced during the development of presbyopia and cataract, such as changes in internal high order aberrations or an increase in ocular forward scattering, with a potentially significant impact on clinical measures, including visual acuity and contrast sensitivity. Objective technologies have emerged to solve the limits of current methods for the grading of the lens aging, which have been linked to the DLS term. …”

Radiation-Induced Wavelength Shifts in Fiber Bragg Gratings Exposed to Gamma Rays and Neutrons in a Nuclear Reactor by G. Berkovic, S. Zilberman, Y. London, M. Rosenfeld, E. Shafir, O. Ozeri, K. Ben-Meir, A. Krakovich, T. Makmal

“…Gratings inscribed on pure silica core fibers using near-IR femtosecond pulses through a phase mask showed the smallest shifts (<30 pm), indicating that these FBGs are suitable for temperature measurement even under extreme ionizing radiation. In contrast, the pointwise inscribed femtosecond gratings and a UV-inscribed grating showed maximal shifts of around 100 pm and 400 pm, respectively. …”

DETECTION OF KERATOCONUS DISEASE DEPENDING ON CORNEAL TOPOGRAPHY USING DEEP LEARNING by Aseel Abdulhasan Hashim, Mahdi Mazinani

“…The pre-processing stage involves cropping images to retain the relevant maps, which were subjected to contrast enhancement to improve image quality. The pre-processed data is then fed into Machine Learning(ML) algorithms and Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) models, by which the four corneal maps were analyzed. …”

Antiknock Performance of Interlayered High-Damping-Rubber Blast Door under Thermobaric Shock Wave by Xiudi Li, Chaoyang Miao, Qifan Wang, Zhengang Geng

“…Secondly, the numerical model of interlayered high-damping-rubber blast door was established with ANSYS/LS-DYNA code based on test results, and the antiknock performance of interlayered high-damping-rubber blast door under thermobaric shock wave was analyzed by contrast with ordinary blast door. The results showed that the midspan displacement of the blast door decreased firstly and then increased with the increase of thickness of the high-damping-rubber interlayer, and the optimal thickness of the high-damping-rubber interlayer for energy consuming was 150 mm in the calculation condition of this paper. …”

Fedratinib for the treatment of myelofibrosis: a critical appraisal of clinical trial and “real-world” data by Adrian Duek, Ilona Leviatan, Osnat Jarchowsky Dolberg, Martin H. Ellis

“…In these trials, fedratinib achieved significant spleen volume reduction in ~30–45% of patients and improvement in total symptom scores in 35–40% with good tolerability. In contrast, recently published real-world data suggest that these responses may not be as robust outside clinical trials. …”

Research on the Strength Variation of Root-Clay Systems under Freeze-Thaw Action by Lin Yang, Hengxing Wang, Chunpeng Han, Hong Guo, Yafeng Gong, Yulong He

“…The results showed that the friction effect between Zoysia japonica roots and the soil was the most significant and that these roots had the best reinforcement effect. In contrast, the friction and reinforcement effects between Setaria viridis roots and the soil were the worst, and the resulting unconfined compressive strength was the smallest. …”

Experimental Investigations of the Resistance Performance of Commercial Cylinder Filters and Effect Factors under Humid Airflows by Shuang Zhang, Wanyi Zhang, Tailong He, Huan Zhao, Zhongping Lin

“…Several factors including the hydrophobic properties, low filtration efficiency, and the unique composite structure of nanofiber filters media can constrain the “Pjump” of cylinder filters, impacting the water-holding capacity (WHC) or avoiding the high resistance. By contrast, the resistance trends of nanofiber media increased significantly from the initial resistance when singly subjected to airflows with water mist at 5.96 g m−3 and 90% relative humidity, differing from the nanofiber filter whose resistance tends to stabilize. …”
