During long-term cystic fibrosis lung infections, Pseudomonas aeruginosa undergoes genetic adaptation resulting in progressively increased persistence and the generation of adaptive colony morphotypes.This includes small colony variants (SCVs), auto-aggregative, hyper-adherent cells whose appearance correlates with poor lung function and persistenc
The paper discusses the effects of mooring configurations on the dynamic response of a submerged floating offshore wind turbine (SFOWT) for intermediate water depths.A coupled dynamic Patient Room model of a wind turbine-tower-floating platform-mooring system is established, and the dynamic response of the platform, tensions in mooring lines, and b
The tools Patient Room of synthetic biology have enormous potential to help us uncover the fundamental mechanisms controlling development and metabolism in plants.However, their effective utilization typically requires transgenesis, which is plagued by long timescales and high costs.In this review we explore how transgenesis can be minimized by del
This paper follows the foregoing studies by the A.A. already carried out on the earthquakes occurred in Western Sicily. The hypocentral data investigation concerning a further large earthquake of the swarm, has confirmed an hypocentral depth close to the "Molio".Grouping conveniently the investigated earthquakes it was possible&
