The increased incidence of cancer in children and adolescents registered in Italy in the last few decades is one of the highest amongst Western countries. The causes are difficult to identify, but recent daily news and some epidemiological surveys, such as the ‘Sentieri’ study, suggest that environmental pollution has an important role. In the past 20 years, epigenetic studies have described ho...

Hearing processes seems to divide into three main categories: the caption and transformation of physical sound waves, the transduction of the physical waves into neural patterns and the transformation of these neural patterns into an useful mirror of the physical world. It was thought that the processes of distortion of the physical wave sound, either to enhance the detection of sound origin, e...

Research in hypermedia electronic books is a relatively new field that addresses the problem of creating new effective learning environments. However, the lack of well-defined criteria for evaluation and the somewhat marginal effort devoted to the design of multimedia interfaces, has often resulted in the development of a set of multimedia/hypermedia applications which are of dubious value. Stu...

Constraint-based pattern mining approaches for the analysis of relational attributed dynamic graphs Acknowledgments Je tiens à remercier ici toutes les personnes qui m'ont donné la chance de travailler avec elles : Jean-François pour sa confiance, son soutient et les beaux projets dans lesquels il m'a impliquée; les plus jeunes de l'équipe – Jérémy, Ruggero, Loïc – dont le départ a souvent lais...

The lack of baleen whale (Cetacea Mysticeti) audiograms impedes the assessment of the impacts of anthropogenic noise on these animals. Estimates of audiograms, which are difficult to obtain behaviorally or electrophysiologically for baleen whales, can be made by simulating the audiogram as a series of components representing the outer, middle, and inner ear (Rosowski, 1991; Ruggero and Temchin,...

The fourteenth annual meeting of the Society for Pediatric Dennatology was held in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada and hosted by Drs.

Il Cristo Pantocratore assunto come modello iconografico per rappresentare la sovranità nel Regnum Siciliae in età normanno-sveva, lasciava il posto angioina alla paupertas che, effetto della predicazione francescana accolta dai sovrani napoletani, diventava elemento ineludibile di legittimità del potere regio. In una lettera scritta dal frate francescano Angelo Clareno a Filippo Majorca, frate...

Ruggero Maria Santilli Institute for Basic Research P.O.Box 1577, Palm Harbor, FL 34682, U.S.A. [email protected]; http://home1.gte.net/ibr Abstract After reviewing the basic role of Lie’s theory for the mathematics and physics of this century, we identify its limitations for the treatment of systems beyond the local-differential, Hamiltonian and canonical-unitary conditions of the original conceptio...
