DEFINITION AND CRITICAL EVALUATION OF NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF OPTIMIZED HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE DIETARY PATTERNS: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE
The concept of sustainable food systems is not new, but nowadays the definition of dietary patterns or recommendations able to improve both health and contribute to the transformation of food systems is strongly advocated. In the current scenario, the recognized intersection of climate change, …

GIUDICI, ZANZOTTO, RABONI. AUTONOMIE ED ETERONOMIE DELLA PROSA
This dissertation investigates the non-fiction production of three Italian poets of the second half of the twentieth century: Giovanni Giudici, Andrea Zanzotto, and Giovanni Raboni. Adopting a transdisciplinary approach, it shows how these writings, often considered a "secondo mestiere”, according …

Complexity as a Form of Transition From Dynamics to Thermodynamics: Application to Sociological and Biological Processes.
This dissertation addresses the delicate problem of establishing the statistical mechanical foundation of complex processes. These processes are characterized by a delicate balance of randomness and order, and a correct paradigm for them seems to be the concept of sporadic randomness. First of all, …

Understanding gene expression with a pore forming toxin
This thesis aimed to explore eukaryotic cellular processes upon the virulent attack of low doses of a well-known pore forming toxin (staphylococcal α-hemolysin (αHL)) and to develop a new biotech application using the same protein.

A Geometrical Approach to Machine Learning: From Complexity Measures to Quantization
This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, we introduce a novel capacity measure 2sED for statistical models based on the effective dimension. This new quantity provably bounds the generalization error under mild assumptions on the model. Furthermore, simulations on standard data …

Design techniques for high-reliability complex electronic systems
As the market continuously requires ever more powerful systems, there is a huge economic incentive in technological advances that can make that required power available to the end user of the system. Conversely, more powerful devices make it possible to integrate a large number of functions inside …

Effect of nitric oxide and inflammatory mediators on axonal transport
In dieser Arbeit wurde der Einfluss der Aktivierung von Microgliazellen auf den Transport von Organellen, Vorläufervesikel und Mitochondrien in Axonen untersucht. Mikrogliazellen sind mitverantwortlich für die Immunreaktionen im Gehirn und setzen dabei Stickstoffmonooxid und entzündliche Mediatoren …

Multi-parametric study of the 2020-2022 paroxysmal activity at mt. Etna: the role of fluids in the trigger mechanisms, durations and energy of the eruptive phenomena [Studio multi-parametrico dell’attività parossistica del 2020-21 al Mt. Etna: ruolo dei fluidi sui meccanismi di innesco, durata ed energia dei fenomeni eruttivi]
La sequenza parossistica avvenuta sull'Etna tra dicembre 2020 e febbraio 2022 ha fornito importanti approfondimenti sull'evoluzione del sistema di alimentazione del vulcano e sui processi vulcanici sottostanti. È stata condotta un'ampia indagine petrologica e geofisica per comprendere meglio le …
