British Grand Strategy in the Age of American Hegemony
Employing several historical case studies between 1940-2003 and marshalling a host of primary sources, William D. James argues that British politicians and officials have thought in grand strategic terms under American hegemony - even if they do not realise or admit to this.
The Role of Mitochondria, Oxidative Stress and Altered Calcium Homeostasis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: From Current Developments in the Laboratory to Clinical Treatments
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive, devastating and fatal disease characterized by selective loss of upper and lower motor neurons of the cerebral cortex, brainstem, spinal cord and muscle atrophy. In spite of many years of research, the pathogenesis of ALS is still not well understood. ALS is a multifaceted genetic disease, in which genetic susceptibility to motor neuron death interacts with environmental factors and there is still no cure for this deleterious disease. At present, there is only one FDA approved drug, Riluzole which according to past studies only modestly slows the progression of the disease, and improves survival by up to three months. The sufferin...
Modern Rome
After fifty years and fifteen editions and reprints in Italy, this classic, groundbreaking work in the field of historical urban studies is now published in English. A masterful, fluent narrative leads the reader through the last two centuries in the history of the Eternal City, capital of the Papal State, then of the united Italy, first under the monarchy and subsequently the republic. Rome’s chaotic growth and often ineffective urban planning, almost invariably overpowered by building speculation, can find an opportunity for future redemption in a vibrant multicultural society and the enhancement of an unequalled archaeological heritage with the ancient Appian Way as its spine. With respect to the last Italian edition of 2011, the volume is updated, enriched in text, indexes, maps and photographs. Historians, urban planners, architects, decision makers, university students, and anyone who is interested in one of the world’s most intriguing cities will enjoy this book.
Eroi, santi e tiranni di Roma
Da Giulio Cesare ad Alberto Sordi, tutti i personaggi più memorabili della Città Eterna C’è chi a Roma ha dato un nuovo volto, come il Bernini con le sue sculture e architetture. C’è chi l’ha fatta tremare, come il boia Mastro Titta e il gangster Enrico De Pedis, capo della banda della Magliana. C’è chi le ha fatto battere il cuore, come Anna Magnani con le sue interpretazioni e Francesco Totti con i suoi gol. C’è chi l’ha scelta quale patria di elezione, come Cristina di Svezia dopo la conversione al cattolicesimo, e chi l’ha sconvolta passandoci i suoi ultimi giorni, come i primi martiri cristiani e Giordano Bruno in Campo de’ Fiori. In questo libro tutti trovano spaz...
Revisiting the Monetary Transmission Mechanism Through an Industry-Level Differential Approach
By combining industry-level data on output and prices with monetary policy rates for a panel of 88 countries, this paper analyzes how the effects of monetary policy vary with certain industry characteristics. Next to being interesting in their own right, our results are informative on the importance of various transmission mechanisms (as they are expected to vary systematically with the included characteristics). Rather than relying on standard monetary policy shock identification, we overcome the endogeneity problem by taking a differential approach (interacting our monetary policy measure with industry-level characteristics). Our results suggest that monetary contractions reduce output by more in industries featuring assets that are more difficult to collateralize (as predicted by the balance sheet channel) and in industries more reliant on international trade (as predicted by the exchange rate channel). Consistent with the financial accelerator mechanism, we find that the balance sheet channel becomes stronger during bad times. At the same time, we do not find evidence supporting the traditional interest rate channel of monetary policy; the same goes for the cost channel.

Archeologia e Calcolatori, 35.1, 2024
Il numero 35.1, 2024 di Archeologia e Calcolatori è un volume ricco e articolato che contiene tre sezioni speciali e un gruppo di 15 contributi dedicati all’applicazione delle più attuali tecnologie informatiche nei diversi settori della ricerca archeologica, in cui si nota una crescente attenzione verso il dato visuale e la modellazione virtuale. La prima sezione, curata da G. Gambacurta e F. Bortolami, è dedicata agli Atti del workshop (Venezia 25 settembre 2023) “Necropoli etrusco-italiche: archeologia digitale e paesaggio funerario”, che offrono un interessante focus sul tema della ricostruzione del paesaggio funerario attraverso le nuove tecnologie, presentando alcuni significa...
MRI in Veterinary Neurology
Magnetic resonance imaging is, without a doubt, a key diagnostic tool in clinical veterinary neurology. Its implementation in animals dates to the early 80s, as dogs were used as experimental model for brain edema and abscesses; however, it was not until one decade later that this modality was implemented for clinical purposes in veterinary neurology. As the availability of low- and high-field magnets in veterinary centers increase and technology advances, the understanding of central nervous system pathologies in the pre-mortem phase, including temporal evolvement of disease and monitoring effects of therapeutic approaches to the nervous tissue morphology, has been likewise enhanced. Moreover, MRI findings of multiple diseases affecting the nervous system of animals, including epilepsy, meningoencephalitis, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic encephalopathies, spinal cord injury, among others, mirror their counterpart in human medicine, therefore highlighting the pivot role of this modality for translational medicine.
Marcio su Roma
Il disastro si è realizzato in tempi brevi: dieci anni. Una Capitale in ginocchio, commissariata, ridotta allo stremo, piegata da una corruzione dilagante. Un comune e una regione travolti dal proliferare selvaggio di scandali che toccano in egual misura amministrazioni di sinistra e di destra. Una città insanguinata dalla guerriglia strisciante delle organizzazioni criminali in lotta tra loro, con alle spalle l'ombra di una mafia di tipo nuovo, non meno pericolosa. Ma da dove arriva il marcio che ha sommerso Roma? Sono l'illegalità e il malaffare ad assediare e inquinare il Campidoglio? O è il potere a evocarli per strumentalizzarli a fini propri? A tenere in pugno la principale met...
