    Explaining collective action with rational models (1989)
    Springer
    Public choice 62 (1989), S. 25-39 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7101
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract We note the failure of a rational egoist model of human behavior to generate successful predictions of important economic and political behaviors including collective action. Alternative models are presented that combine rational, utility-maximizing features with concerns about collective welfare. The performance of these models in explaining contributing behavior in an experimentally-induced public goods game is compared to the performance of a rational egoist and collective welfare model. The results indicate that a model in which subjects are presumed to “trade off” benefits to self with benefits to others provides a better explanation of actual contributing behavior than either the rational egoist or collective welfare models, but still explains only a small amount of the individual variance in contributing behavior.

    Notes: Abstract The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique offers a useful tool to detect DNA polymorphisms. It can also be used to distinguish different clones and cultivars. We have developed a comprehensive RAPD-based procedure for the routine molecular typing of various plants. Here we report the application of this technique for the correct identification of six hazelnut cultivars (Corylus avellana) widespread in the Campania region (south Italy). The analysed hazelnut cultivars were successfully distinguished by their RAPD fingerprints using the DNA primers U2, U3, U4, U11 and U14. However, in each cultivar we observed very low genetic heterogeneity among the clonal variants. Since this technique is among the simplest and easiest methods used to fingerprint DNA, it could be easily transferred to less sophisticated laboratory infrastructures (e.g. outstations of crop regulatory agencies).

    Notes: Abstract The possibility that the minor embryonic chick hemoglobins might be present in a particular subgroup of primitive erythroid cells has been investigated by in situ hybridization. Probe to detect the mRNA for the αA globin chain of the minor embryonic hemoglobin was used, and the results of the hybridization were compared with those obtained using as probes the cDNAs for total globin mRNAs. All erythroid cells circulating in a 4-day-old chick embryo gave positive signals with both probes at an approximately constant ratio. This shows that all cells contain a similar assortment of hemoglobin types, excluding the possibility that a subgroup might contain the minor primitive hemoglobins exclusively. However, the cells are not homogeneous, since about 10% of them show a distinctly higher concentration of mRNA of all globin types.

    Earthquake-induced liquefaction features in a late Quaternary fine-grained lacustrine succession (Fucino Lake, Italy): Implications for microzonation studies (2021)
    Elsevier
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-07
    Description: The Fucino lacustrine basin in central Italy is a large flat area mostly devoted to agriculture, with urbanization along the perimeter of the ancient lake. In 1915 a strong earthquake struck the area (Mw 7.0), producing large damages and geological effects, including surface faulting, ground failures and liquefaction. A channel excavated in the lacustrine sediments exposed ground failure, with dykes of fine-grained sediment that we interpret as the result of earthquake-induced liquefaction. We present the results of a multidisciplinary work aimed at characterizing in detail the geology of the buried stratigraphic succession, its susceptibility to liquefaction and the likely source of the fine-grained liquefied material. The succession down to 20 m deep is formed by fine-grained sediments younger than ~170–180 kyrs (mostly Late Pleistocene - Holocene), prevailingly silt or silt-clay mixtures. The geological field analysis indicates that the dykes are filled by prevailing silt, liquefied and transported by upward-directed flow of short duration, as for earthquake-induced liquefaction. Tilting and lateral spreading accompanied the process. The overall liquefaction potential derived from the “simplified methods” is high. Correlations of X-Ray Powder Diffraction mineralogy of samples from drilling cores with those from dykes allowed us to identify the most likely source layer filling dykes, corresponding to a silt layer at 7–8 m depths. This layer and the dykes lack illite and montmorillonite clay particles. These results contribute to improve studies of liquefactions in sediments that differ from typical liquefiable loose sands. They have also implications for microzonation studies. Most samples show grain-size curves that do not fit within the field of potentially liquefiable soils, suggesting that criteria based on grain-size can be poorly significant in seismic microzonation studies of recent (Late Pleistocene-Holocene) lacustrine, fine-grained successions.

    Petrography of construction and demolition waste (CDW) from Abruzzo region (Central Italy) (2023)
    Elsevier
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-02-09
    Description: The density, colour and texture, plus mineral and chemical features of 18 ceramic-like CDW samples from the Abruzzo region (Central Italy) were characterised. The concretes, natural stones, tiles, roof-tiles, bricks and perforated bricks are either aphanitic to porphyric. Concretes and natural stones are grey to white and tend to be 〉 2.0 g/cm3; the masonries are brown to reddish and close to 〈 2.0 g/cm3. Concrete and natural stone are rich or even exclusively made up of calcite, with high amounts of CaO (〉40 wt%) and LOI (volatiles, CO2 + H2O). The masonries are instead calcite-, CaO- (〈25 wt%) and LOI-poor (〈8 wt%) but enriched in SiO2 (45 to 70 wt%) stabilised as quartz and/or cristobalite, with significant amount of Al2O3 (12 to 20 wt%). S and Cl contents are similar among concrete, bricks and perforated bricks. The petrography of CDW concretes is similar among geographical areas with abundance of limestones used as aggregates. However, in limestone-poor areas CDW are SiO2- and Al2O3-rich, reflecting the prevalent use of masonry and/or silicate-rich construction materials, implying that each geographical area is characterised by peculiar CDW composition. Therefore, the knowledge of mesoscopic, physical and petrographic aspects has to be known for planning adequate sorting methods, promoting upcycling reusing applications. Some of the studied CDW samples are susceptible to release relative high Cr and As content.

    G-CSF Contributes at the Healing of Tunica Media of Arteriotomy-Injured Rat Carotids by Promoting Differentiation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (2015)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-06-11
    Description: Restenosis is a complex pathophysiological disease whose causative mechanisms are not fully understood. Previous studies allowed us to demonstrate the efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) transplantation in limiting the pathophysiological remodeling in a model of arteriotomy-induced (re)stenosis. In the current research we studied the effectiveness of G-CSF treatment on male rate rats that were subjected carotid arteriotomy in order to evaluate a potentially effective non-invasive strategy that recapitulates the MSC-mediated recovery of injured vessels. WKY male rats were subjected carotid arteriotomy and given a nine day treatment (3 days pre- to 6 days post-arteriotomy) with G-CSF or saline. Carotids were harvested 7 and 30 days following arteriotomy (early- and late-phase, respectively). Although morphometrical analysis did not reveal differences in lumen narrowing between G-CSF- and PBS-carotids 30 days following arteriotomy, we detected a noticeable conservative effect of G-CSF treatment on vascular wall morphology. Histological and molecular analysis revealed an increase in cellularity within the tunica media with a concomitant increase of the VSMCs differentiation markers both at early- and late-phases of (re)stenotic response in G-CSF-treated carotids (Sm22-alpha, Myocd and Smtn). These findings were accompanied by the downregulation of oxidative stress-related genes in G-CSF-injured rats. The effect exerted by G-CSF in our model of arteriotomy-induced (re)stenosis seemed support the recovery of the architecture of the tunica media of injured vessels by: i) inducing VSMCs differentiation; and ii) limiting the oxidative-stress response induced by arteriotomy.

    Exploiting stem cell therapy: The 3rd meeting of stem cell research Italy (2012)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-08-28
    Description: The study of stem cells is one of the most exciting areas of contemporary biomedical research. During the 3rd Joint Meeting of Stem Cell Research Italy (June 2012, Ferrara, Italy), scientists from different multidisciplinary areas explored new frontiers of basic and applied stem cell research with key lectures and oral presentations. There was a public debate on ethics during the opening ceremony, specifically on the limits and potentialities of adult and embryonic stem cells. Some scientists presented basic research data showing evolutionary aspects, which could be of interest in understanding specific biological phenomena. Others focused on “dangerous liaisons” between gene transfer vectors and the human genome. Some speakers provided insight into current stem cell therapies, such as those involving human epithelial stem cells for treatment of skin diseases. Other researchers presented data on close-to-therapy findings, such as the use of mesenchymal stem cells in brain repair. Of note, during the meeting, spotlights were focused on major issues that have to be considered for GMP stem cell production for cell therapy. In “Meet the Expert” sessions, specialists presented innovative technologies such as a next-generation sequencing system. Finally, the meeting provided an excellent opportunity for young scientists to show their findings, and to discuss with each other and with internationally recognized experts. J. Cell.
