The technical parameters for electrospinning solutions of biodegradable polymers poly(ε-caprolactone), poly(lactic acid) and their composites with active molecules were defined and set up. A trial-and-error approach has ...

The cell membrane functions as a platform for the assembly of many signal transduction pathways and provides an additional level of regulation in cell signaling networks. The complex dynamic structure of the plasma membrane ...

This PhD work describes the development of different Michael and Michael type processes employing different bifunctional organocatalysts. All the processes studied involved a non-covalent activation of the substrates ...

This thesis proposes several protocols for achieving secure com- putation under concurrent and physical attacks. Secure computation allows many parties to compute a joint function of their inputs, while keeping the ...

Semantic interoperability represents the capability of two or more systems to meaningfully and accurately interpret the exchanged data so as to produce useful results. It is an essential feature of all distributed and ...

The inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, which often results from epigenetic silencing associated with DNA hypermethylation, plays a pivotal role in the development of most forms of human cancer. Moreover, there are ...

Recently, Neri et al have introduced an efficient method to obtain endo-cavity complexation and through-the-annulus threading of large calixarenes exploiting the inducing effect of a weakly coordinating anion, tetrakis ...

Firstly we present a new analysis of the results of the EROS-2, OGLE-II, and OGLE-III microlensing campaigns towards the Small Magellanic Clouds (SMC). Through a statistical analysis we address the issue of the nature of ...

The Dissertation Quantumness of Gaussian and non-Gaussian states in the op- tical domain collects my personal both theoretical and experimental contribu- tions, in the context of the Quantum Information theory in continuous ...

Today public-key cryptographic is widely deployed and successfully used but still a major drawback exists. In fact, from encrypted data a party can either decrypt or cannot learn anything at all about the message other ...
