Beer flavour and aroma are greatly influenced by the hop(s) employed in brewing process. The iso-α-acids post wort boiling major compounds responsible for bitterness, which detected bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) oral buds. This family of is activated presence molecules, send chemical signals to brain, making it possible differentiate whether molecules have a pleasant (or not). It interest pre...

A non-repudiation protocol enables the fair exchange of an electronic message and an irrefutable digital receipt between two mistrusting parties over the Internet. That is, at the end of any execution instance of such a protocol, either both parties obtain their expected items or neither party does. In this paper, we first argue that it is really meaningful in practice to exploit generic fair n...

MicroRNAs can affect the protein translation using nine mechanistically different mechanisms, including repression of initiation and degradation of the transcript. There is a hot debate in the current literature about which mechanism and in which situations has a dominant role in living cells. The worst, same experimental systems dealing with the same pairs of mRNA and miRNA can provide ambiguo...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple ubiquitous signaling molecule and plays important roles in almost every biological system. Recent evidences suggest that NO may act as an endocrine molecule. The aim of this review is considering available literature on endocrine roles of NO and/or its metabolites, i.e. nitrite and nitrate. Existing data suggest the idea that NO is a hormone that after production i...

INTRODUCTION Recent evidences suggest that sitting balance upon admission may accurately predict the ambulatory capacity at discharge from intensive functional rehabilitation among individuals with neurological impairments. However, the link existing between sitting and standing postural stability abilities and sensorimotor regulation mechanisms has not been confirmed to date. The aim of this s...

Abstract : Patent data is a key source of information for innovation economists. In recent decades it has been possible to observe its significant diffusion and success mainly thanks either archives digitization or authorities’ greater openness with respect patent granting procedure. Furthermore, the use this over time not limited simple statistics on patents their classification, but, going fu...

In this paper a new mathematical procedure is presented for combining different pieces of evidence which are represented in the interval form to reflect our knowledge about the truth of a hypothesis. Evidences may be correlated to each other (dependent evidences) or conflicting in supports (conflicting evidences). First, assuming independent evidences, we propose a methodology to construct comb...
