RECKONING WITH THE PAST? ON ILLUSORY DE-FASCISATION OF ITALY IN PERIOD TRANSFORMATION (1943-1948) This chapter discusses de-fascisation process in Italy during the systemic transformation 1943-1948. It will examine whether national reconciliation policy pursued by Alcide De Gasperi’s governments second half of 1940s contributed to emergence a societal vision Mussolini’s relatively mild dictator...

Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...

To investigate the expression profiles of efflux transporters in human ocular tissues, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to obtain the relative mRNA and protein expressions of various efflux transporters in human ocular tissues. The cornea, conjunctiva, irisciliary body (ICB), retina and choroid, human corneal epithelial cell ...

This paper discusses the mechanics of a rigid rimless spoked wheel, or regular polygon, ‘rolling’ downhill. By rolling, we mean motions in which the wheel pivots on one ‘support’ spoke until another spoke collides with the ground, followed by transfer of support to that spoke, and so on. We carry out three-dimensional numerical and analytical stability studies of steady motions of this system. ...
