Local Whittle estimation of long memory: Standard versus bias-reducing techniques
(Elsevier, 2019)
[EN] Frequency domain semiparametric estimation of memory parameters belongs to the standard toolkit of applied time series researchers. These methods are based on a local approximation of the spectral density, which ...
The Economic Consequences of the Libyan Spring: A Synthetic Control Analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
[EN] In 2011 a wave of revolutionary movements, the so-called Arab Spring, spread in the Middle East and North Africa. Libya was one of the most affected countries, ending Gaddafi’s dictatorship after an international ...
Paving the way for a wider use of composites in railway industry
(Springer International Publishing, 2019-05-13)
Different types of phosphorus containing halogen-free flame retardants (FRs) were added to an epoxy-dicyandiamide resin formulation in order to study to which extent they affect its glass transition temperature (Tg), tensile ...
Marine Aerosol Weathering of Mediterranean Calcarenite Stone: Durability of Ethyl Silicate, Nano Ca(OH)2, Nano SiO2, and Nanostructured Consolidating Products
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-07-13)
Calcarenite stone samples from a historic building (Bizerte, Tunisia) were collected and treated
under different environmental conditions with several consolidating products: alkoxysilane
(ethyl silicate), a surfactant-templated ...
Profitable strategic delegation with conjectural variations
(Wiley, 2018)
[EN] Firms delegate strategic decisions to managers because they find it profitable to do so. In the product market, when agents make conjectures about the reaction of their rivals to marginal changes in their own strategies, ...
Measuring the value of ecosystem-based fishery management using financial portfolio theory
(Elsevier, 2019-11-25)
We highlight the potential benefits of adopting Ecosystem-based Fishery Management (EBFM). We compare the EBFM implementation with the more traditional single-stock approach. We show the contribution of the portfolio theory ...
Proteoliposomal formulations of an HIV-1 gp41-based miniprotein elicit a lipid-dependent immunodominant response overlapping the 2F5 binding motif
(2017-01-13)
The HIV-1 gp41 Membrane Proximal External Region (MPER) is recognized by broadly neutralizing antibodies and represents a promising vaccine target. However, MPER immunogenicity and antibody activity are influenced by ...
Lipidomimetic Compounds Act as HIV-1 Entry Inhibitors by Altering Viral Membrane Structure
(Frontiers Media, 2018-09-04)
The envelope of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) consists of a liquid-ordered membrane enriched in raft lipids and containing the viral glycoproteins. Previous studies demonstrated that changes in viral membrane ...
Atomistic Simulations of Geopolymer Models: The Impact of Disorder on Structure and Mechanics
(ACS, 2018-06-13)
Geopolymers are hydrated aluminosilicates with excellent binding properties. Geopolymers appeal to the construction sector as a more sustainable alternative to traditional cements, but their exploitation is limited by a ...
Kinematical and dynamical modelling of a multipurpose upper limbs rehabilitation robot
(Elsevier, 2017-08-23)
Knowing accurate model of a system is always beneficial to design a robust and safe control while allowing reduction of sensors-related cost as the system outputs are predictable using the model. In this context, this paper ...
