Estrogen receptor alpha interferes with LKBl/AMPK/mTOR signaling activation in adiponectin-treated breast cancer cells
(2018-02-27)Breast cancer is the most common type of tumor and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, worldwide. The cause of breast cancer is multifactorial and includes hormonal, genetic and environmental cues. Obesity ... -
Estrogen Receptor beta, through Sp1, recruits a corepressor complex to the Estrogen Receptor alpha gene promoter in breast cancer cells
(2012)Human Estrogen receptors alpha (α) and beta (β) are essential components of a complex signal transduction pathway that regulates mammary growth and development. Several studies have reported that normal breast tissues ... -
Evaluation and Optimization of the Energy Behavior of Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
(2014-02-28)MANETs (Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks) are networks made up entirely of wireless devices, without the support of any fixed infrastructure. Because of their auto-configuring and self-managing features, and of their many ... -
Evaluation of thermal polarization and membrane characteristics for membrane distillation
(2014-11-11)The current PhD work emphasizes on various aspects of membrane distillation for approaching zero liquid discharge in seawater desalination. In broader sense, two themes have been discussed in detail: (i) correlation ... -

Experimental and numerical modeling of solitary wave loads on horizontal circular cylinders
(2019-03-04)The present thesis deals with an experimental and numerical study on the horizontal and vertical hydrodynamic forces induced by solitary waves on submerged horizontal circular cylinders. Laboratory tests were performed ... -
Experimental and theoretical study of polyhedral carbon Nano-Onions
(2018-02-23)Carbon nano-onions (CNOs), in their spherical or polyhedral forms, represent an important class of nanomaterials due to their peculiar physical and electrochemical properties. Among the different methods of production, ... -
Experimental investigation of system performance for combined desalination processes with membrane capacitive deionisation (MCDI)
(Università della Calabria, 2021-10-31)The water supply in many coastal regions worldwide is affected by progressive salinization. Here, the use of desalination technologies is a viable solution for obtaining freshwater. In this thesis, two modular concepts ... -
Experimental study and qualitative and quantitative modelling of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS)
(2013-11-27)Climate changes have become always more frequent, increasing the interest of researchers in finding the causes and, above all, the structural or non-structural solutions to solve the problem. Economic development together ... -
Exploring new routes in genetic studies on human aging and longevity
(2013-10-29)The past few decades has witnessed a growing scientific interest in genetic studies on human aging and longevity. This growing interest may be explained by the increasing number of elderly subjects in developed countries ...
