Drug repositioning screening identifies etravirine as a potential therapeutic for friedreich's ataxia

Giulia Alfedi, Riccardo Luffarelli, Ivano Condò, Giorgia Pedini, more

Background Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal‐recessive cerebellar ataxia caused by mutation of the frataxin gene, resulting in decreased frataxin expression, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. Currently, no treatment is available for Friedreich's ataxia patients. Given that levels of residual frataxin critically affect disease severity, the main goal of a specific therapy for Friedreich's...

Understanding eruptive style variations at calc-alkaline volcanoes: the 1913 eruption of Fuego de Colima volcano (Mexico)

S. Massaro, R. Sulpizio, A. Costa, L. Capra, more

Bulletin of Volcanology > 2018 > 80 > 7 > 1-15

The 1913 sub-Plinian eruption of Fuego de Colima volcano (Mexico) occurred after almost 100 years of effusive and (minor) Vulcanian explosive activity, which modulated dome growth and destruction. Dome extrusion persisted from 1869 to 1913. The transition to explosive eruption started on 17 January 1913, and it progressed in three phases: (1) opening, with the generation of block-and-ash flows, (2)...

Evolution of the magma feeding system during a Plinian eruption: The case of Pomici di Avellino eruption of Somma–Vesuvius, Italy

S. Massaro, A. Costa, R. Sulpizio

Earth and Planetary Science Letters > 2018 > 482 > C > 545-555

The current paradigm for volcanic eruptions is that magma erupts from a deep magma reservoir through a volcanic conduit, typically modelled with fixed rigid geometries such as cylinders. This simplistic view of a volcanic eruption does not account for the complex dynamics that usually characterise a large explosive event. Numerical simulations of magma flow in a conduit combined with volcanological...

A multi-parametric criteria for Tidal Energy Converters siting in marine and fluvial environments

G.Lo Zupone, S. Massaro, S. Barbarelli, R. Sulpizio

Energy Procedia > 2017 > 142 > C > 328-336

Marine renewable energy deployment involves site resource assessment as strategic support for installation and optimization. This part of the design needs to be based on best available measurement technologies and deployment methods, minimizing the investments. The siting and design of a kinetic energy converter (like a Tidal Energy Converter ones) require characterization of the variability of the...

Siting assessment for Kinetic Energy Turbines: an emplacement study for sea and river applications

G. Lo Zupone, S. Massaro, S. Barbarelli, R. Sulpizio

Energy Procedia > 2017 > 143 > C > 713-720

The siting and design of a Tidal Energy Converter (TEC) require the characterization of the flow velocity field acting in terms of space and time, in order to assess the hydrodynamic forces, to calculate the structural loading and power capacity, also helping investment strategy and project financing. In this framework, the selection of the emplacement site is of paramount importance for optimizing...

Multiple Factors driving Variability of CO₂ Exchange Between the Ocean and Atmosphere in a Tropical Coral Reef Environment

Rachel F. S. Massaro, Eric Heinen Carlo, Patrick S. Drupp, Fred T. Mackenzie, more

Aquatic Geochemistry > 2012 > 18 > 4 > 357-386

In this paper, we present the results of the first automated continuous multi-year high temporal frequency study of CO₂ dynamics in a coastal coral reef ecosystem. The data cover 2.5 years of nearly continuous operation of the CRIMP-CO₂ buoy spanning particularly wet and dry seasons in southern Kaneohe Bay, a semi-enclosed tropical coral reef ecosystem in Hawaii. We interpret our observational results...

Terrain Mapping and Obstacle Detection Using Gaussian Processes

2011 10th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications and Workshops > 1 > 118 - 123

2011 Tenth International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA 2011)

In this paper we consider a probabilistic method for extracting terrain maps from a scene and use the information to detect potential navigation obstacles within it. The method uses Gaussian process regression (GPR) to predict an estimate function and its relative uncertainty. To test the new methods, we have arranged two setups: an artificial flat surface with an object in front of the sensors and...

Incidental radiographic findings after injury: Dedicated attention results in improved capture, documentation, and management

Jason L. Sperry, Margaret S. Massaro, Richard D. Collage, Dederia H. Nicholas, more

Surgery > 2010 > 148 > 4 > 618-624

With liberal use of computed tomography in the diagnostic management of trauma patients, incidental findings are common and represent a major patient-care and medical–legal concern. Consequently, we began an initiative to capture, notify, and documentadequately incidental finding events with a dedicated incidental finding coordinator. We hypothesized a dedicated incidental finding coordinator would...
