Background: Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome (PSS) is an autoimmune and lymphoproliferative disease with a heterogeneous presentation. It has been postulated that there may be different phenotypes, in some cases presenting more aggressive systemic manifestations higher risk of developing complications. This phenotype associated load earlier age Furthermore, the presence anti La + related to increased...

Studies comparing the efficacy of epidural analgesia for labour have been limited by lack of knowledge about the relative potencies of the involved agents, whether alone or in combination. Recently a clinical model to determine the minimum local analgesic concentration has been developed [1]. This study design estimated the minimum local analgesic concentration or median effective concentration...

Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e delle Tecnologie dell’Informazione Doctor of Philosophy A Model-Driven Approach to Quantitative Analysis of Critical Systems by Roberto Nardone Critical systems are present in our daily life and affect many aspects providing essential support to several human activities; they are employed in several application domains, providing support to economic activi...

Since the advent of the theory of evolutio n, o ne of the tasks of biology has bee n to i nvestigate the phyloge netic relatio nship betwee n species. This task is especially impor ta nt because all of the differe nces which exist betwee n species, whether i n morphology, physiology , or ecology, i n ways of behavior, or even i n geographical distributio n, have evolved , like the species thems...

The Large Hadron Collider, presently in construction at CERN, will be filled through a set of high performance proton accelerators providing the high brightness beam needed to reach the foreseen luminosity. Although this difficult project has top priority and uses most of the CERN resources, it is nevertheless time investigating improvements of the proton accelerator complex for physical cases ...

Learning to represent and generate videos from unlabeled data is a very challenging problem. To generate realistic videos, it is important not only to ensure that the appearance of each frame is real, but also to ensure the plausibility of a video motion and consistency of a video appearance in the time direction. The process of video generation should be divided according to these intrinsic di...
