RAPPRESENTAZIONI SOCIALI DELLE NUOVE TECNOLOGIE. IL CASO DELLA RETE GUADALINFO = SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY. THE CASE STUDY OF GUADALINFO NETWORK

Besides the practical use and/or appropriation of new technologies, one also has to consider their symbolic dimension, which is linked to social discourse that is often highly-charged ideologically.This article discusses the symbolic and ideological dimension by delving social imaginaries and visions of subjects as they interact with technological

Computer simulations of mathematical models open up the possibility of assessing hypotheses generated by experiments on pathogen immune evasion in human whole-blood infection assays.We apply an interdisciplinary systems biology approach in which virtual infection models implemented for the dissection of Pocket Pillow specific immune mechanisms are

In this work, we study the performance of wide-used keypoints detection and description algorithms: Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF), Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF (ORB), Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoints(BRISK), Accelerated KAZE(AKAZE), which were originally developed for images taken in visibl

Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), distinguished by the expression of the neuronal stem cell marker nestin, may represent stem cell-like progenitor cells in various organs including the testis.We investigated epididymal tissues of adult nestin-GFP mice, rats after Leydig cell depletion via ethane dimethane sulfonate (EDS), rats and mice during po
