Results. Non-obeses (n=38) differed from obeses (n=22) in term of all the abdominal adiposity indices and of metabolic abnormal- ities. The non-obeses were compared on the basis of BMI values, waist circumference, FLI, visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. BMI and waist circumference were related to all the abdominal fat in- dices. Visceral fat was associated with low-grade inflammation (R=0.61, P<0.001) and insulin resistance (R=0.55, P=0.003), even after adjustment for BMI and waist circumference. Subcutaneous fat correlated with blood cells oxidative levels (R=0.47 to 0.59, P<0.001), even after adjustment for BMI and waist circumference. Serum HDL levels were inversely related to BMI.
Results. 4.1 Morphological of mitochondria isolated from post mortem human brain cortex by using Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx protocol In order to evaluate the yield of Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx method [180], mitochondria have been isolated following the same steps starting from post mortem brain tissue. The mitochondrial fraction was evaluated through transmission electron microscopy to get a rough view of their morphology and to estimate the possible contaminations. In figure 11 it is evident that the isolated human post mortem brain mitochondria are predominantly enclosed into synaptosomes together with many other cell components. Considering this result, which is far from the desired purity of mitochondria required for our purpose, the main effort of the study was to develop a new method to obtain a highly purified mitochondrial fraction from human post mortem tissues.

Results. In table 1.2 the results of the OLS estimation for the cost of credit (RL) are displayed. The sample of 1761 firms that received a loan during the period of the survey, reduces to 1691 observations, due to missing values. In line with the theoretical model we observe that as exemption increases the cost of credit increases, posting collateral reduces it and the interaction term between posting collateral and exemption is negative. We interpret this latter results as the evidence of the signaling value of collateral. In fact, the reduction in the cost of credit for those posting collateral is amplified increasing exemption. All control variables have the expected sign and are significant at least at 10% level except for the dummy indicating a female owner and the number of applications. In table 1.3 we show the result of the estimation of the probability to get credit. The result confirms the predictions that:

Results. A series of coupled neutronic/thermal-hydraulic computations is performed with the FRENETIC code. The first set of results pertains to the steady-state analysis, which establishes the initial conditions of the subsequent transient analysis. In steady-state conditions, the tolerances employed in the fixed-point iterations to determine the power distribution and the temperature distributions of the coupled solution are one order of magnitude less than the values used in the individual solvers for the flux and the temperatures, respectively.
Results. We isolated 98 single units (n=60 in Mk1; n=38 in Mk2) with highly restrictive criteria (see Methods) during two recording sessions, one for each monkey. We recorded from 128 electrodes of the chronic arrays implanted in Mk1 (Figure 9A) and from 128 electrodes of arrays C, D, E and F implanted in Mk2 (Figure 9B). Neuronal activity was recorded in a series of naturalistic conditions performed with the monkey’s head fixed in the primate-chair (CHR condition), and next while the monkey freely moved in the NER (NER condition). We scored the behavioural events as described in the previous section (see Methods). Figure 10 shows an example of the distribution of the behavioural occurrences along the session’s timelines: in the NER condition each category of behavioural events is evenly distributed across the session whereas in the CHR condition the regular blocks of the task group specific events in definite period of the testing session.
Results. All the goals have been addressed. Scientific achievements regarding 1, 2 and 3 have been obtained and now a description of interrill dynamics is available: surface roughness behaviour, sealing and infiltration dynamics have been investigated and original results obtained. They include the dynamics of ponded areas, saturated hydraulic conductivity and soil detachability (by splash). Gully generation is now clearly described in empirical and theoretical terms. A rainfall generator, suitable for this within-storm erosion modelling, has been produced. A set of pedo-algorithms has been developed, based on foreground knowledge and on original acquisition within this project. Two models (EUROSEM and EUROWISE) contain part of the developed knowledge. In particular they contain a routine for generating ephemeral gullies and an improved infiltration equation. The scope of the project was substantially that of producing one or more models describing soil erosion during extreme rainfall events allowing for surface modifications and for ephemeral gully generations (surface modifications explored in WP1, ephemeral gully in WP2). This led to the decision to modify two models, namely EUROSEM and LISEM, which are substantially based on the same type of mathematical representation of the physics of soil erosion but which differ in one extremely important aspect, i.e. The way they represent the landscape (the former being a conceptual representation - through a cascade of planes, the latter raster). Also different types of difficulty are encountered when generating ephemeral channels that were not already given as an input at the time of the preparation of the input tables and maps. WP4 was used for the coding of the new algorithms, and the validation of the new models. When presenting a model, one of the most important elements is indeed the input data needed to make it run. Data collection is expensive, sometimes impossible, hence techniques helping experts to make good guesses at the input values are always needed. This brings in the problem of pedotransfer functions, of meteo data, etc. The part regarding a generator of synthetic rainfall was dealt with using WP3 where the model RAINGEN was further developed and improved. Better tables and algorithms for estimating appropriate soil characteristics were developed partly within WP4 and partly within WP1 and 2. The results obtained by the project can be subdivided into 3 categories: 1) new knowledge developed into new rout...
Results. 4.1 eIF6 and Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Patients Age(years) Therapy Survival(months) Histotype Number/Sex RT: Radiotherapy Figure 13. High co-expression of eIF6 and PKCβ is associated to lower survival of MPM patients. We used data of PRKCB and eIF6 expression derived bu mesothelioma datasets to evaluate survival of MPM patients. High eIF6/high PKCβ expression correlates with lower survival.
Results. Starting from the BoC nominal state, the variation of the effective multiplication factor (keff) was evaluated in the “Pert-half” and “Pert” perturbed core conditions (§3). Table 4.1 reports the corresponding Δkeff results expressed in per cent mille (pcm), together with the Δkeff value obtained with all the 12 CRs completely withdrawn (as at EoC). These values were calculated with the fuel at BoL (§3): the complete extraction of one CR causes a +222 pcm Δkeff.
