Abstract: Introduction Les syndromes cardio-renaux (SCR) de type 1/2 sont des desordres physiopathologiques complexes au cours duquel une dysfonction cardiaque est a l’origine d’une dysfonction renale. Les mecanismes restent incompletement expliques, en particulier dans l’insuffisance cardiaque droite. L’objectif de l’etude est de developper un modele preclinique original de SCR sur cœur pulmonaire chez le porc. Description Douze porcs large white de 12 semaines ont ete randomises dans un groupe avec induction d’une hypertension arterielle pulmonaire post-embolique (HPPE) par ligature de l’artere pulmonaire gauche puis embolisation iterative hebdomadaire de l’artere pulmonaire inferieure droite, ou dans un groupe temoin SHAM (interventions fictives). Le sacrifice est realise apres 5 embolisations. Methodes Une evaluation hemodynamique (catheterisme cardiaque droit) et des analyses biologiques sanguines et urinaires ont ete pratiquees. L’histologie et des immunomarquages d’agression et de reparation renale ont ete realises, ainsi qu’une mesure hebdomadaire du debit de filtration glomerulaire (DFG) par injection d’un traceur exogene. Resultats Lors du sacrifice, la pression arterielle pulmonaire moyenne et la pression veineuse centrale etaient significativement plus elevees dans le groupe HPPE : 32 ± 10 vs 13 ± 2 mmHg (p = 0.001) et 10 ± 4 vs 6 ± 2 mmHg (p = 0,04) alors que l’index cardiaque n’etait pas different : HPPE 2,3[1,9–3,6] L/min/m2 et SHAM 3,3[2,8–3,8] L/min/m2. Les porcs avec HPPE avaient une troponine I plus elevee (302[53–3054] vs 33[17–47] ng/mL ; p = 0,03). Tous les cochons HPPE presentaient une dyspnee. La fraction d’excretion de l’uree etait diminuee (18 ± 6 vs 27 ± 6 % ; p = 0,04) et l’albuminurie augmentee (4,4 ± 0,6 vs 2,9 ± 0,4 mg/L ; p Fig. 1 ). Conclusion Nous rapportons le premier modele porcin de SCR sur dysfonction cardiaque droite. Chez ces jeunes porcs, le DFGestime a partir de la creatininemie ne permet pas de mettre en evidence une dysfonction renale contrairement au DFGmesure.

Abstract: Nell’ordinamento italiano le misure di trasparenza e di prevenzione della corruzione sono state disciplinate in modo separato rispetto al sistema di scelta del contraente del codice dei contratti pubblici. Successivamente all’approvazione del CCP, l’ANAC ha assunto il ruolo di “perno” del sistema della trasparenza e dell’anticorruzione esercitando sia i compiti di regolazione e di vigilanza sui contratti pubblici che le funzioni di prevenzione della corruzione attraverso l’adozione di c.d. Bandi Tipo e delle Linee guida di attuazione del codice dei contratti. Il contributo la finalità di verificare in che modo la trasparenza e le misure anticorruzione possono contribuire a prevenire la corruzione e rappresentare delle buone pratiche nel sistema dei contratti pubblici. Dall’altro lato, in che misura le misure di anticorruzione possono ritenersi ammesse e tollerabili rispetto ai principi del diritto europeo dei contratti. Nel contributo sono dapprima prese in esame le diverse forme di trasparenza e di pubblicità nell’ambito dei contratti pubblici, quindi analizzate le misure anticorruzione di tipo normativo e regolatorio che derivano dal diritto europeo, dal codice dei contratti pubblici e dagli atti di regolazione dell’ANAC nonché le misure anticorruzione di tipo contrattuale che possono essere introdotte dalle stazioni appaltanti nella lex specialis di gara., In the Italian legislation the existing measures of transparency and bribery prevention have been disciplined separately from the contractor’s choice system. After the approval of the public procurement code, the Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) took on the task of “pivot” between the systems of transparency and anti-corruption within the public procurement, playing a role of independent authority and exercising the regulatory powers which are carried out with the adoption of the so-called “Guidelines” for the code’s implementation. The purpose of the contribution is to verify how anti-corruption measures can integrate the contents of the procurement’s lex specialis and constitute a best practice within the public procurement system. On the other hand, it has to verify to what extent anti-corruption measures can be allowed and tolerated with the respect of the principles of the European Union law on procurements. First of all, the essay examines the different forms of transparency and publicity under the public contracts; then it analyzes the anti-corruption measures of a prescriptive and regulatory nature resulting from European law, from the Code of Public Contracts and the regulatory acts of ANAC; finally, the contractual anti-corruption measures (the so-called legality protocols) which may be introduced by procuring entities in the lex specialis of the tender.

Abstract: Overweight and obese women present an increased risk of poor maternal and child health outcomes. The aim of this paper is to analyze the joint effects of pre-pregnancy body mass index and inadequate gestational weight gain on birth weight and gestational age in an Italian sample of pregnant women.Data were obtained from a sample of about 2,000 pregnant women at the University Teaching Hospital of Perugia University (Italy) in 2013. We used the revised classification proposed by Institute of Medicine to identify gestational weight gains considered as appropriate. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the adjusted odds-ratios of women belonging to any BMI class different from normal (used as the reference category) and of women who increased their weight by an amount smaller or greater than normal, controlling for a large set of observable confounders.Higher probability of low birth weight was associated with both obesity (OR = 1.9124, s.e. = 0.526) and less than normal weight gains (OR = 2.3614, s.e. = 0.388). The probability of fetal macrosomia was found to be positively associated with more than normal weight increases (OR = 2.6232, s.e. = 0.465). Pre-term deliveries were associated with less than normal gestational weight gains (OR 1.7338, s.e. = 0.320).Overweight and obesity represent a big issue for public health. In particular, weight management during pregnancy and pre-pregnancy could determine negative health outcomes in newborns. In our study we found that inadequate weight variations during pregnancy, according to the Classification of the Institute of Medicine, negatively influence health conditions at birth. Stronger initiatives, especially in terms of midwifery, nurse training and informative policies should be adopted by policy makers.

Abstract: Vascular calcification (VC) is a degenerative pathology of the vessel wall. In the general population, VC appearance is associated with aging, but this pathology can also develop as a consequence of atherosclerosis, diabetes, inflammatory and chronic kidney disease. VC is strongly associated with increased risk of mortality and cardiovascular disease. Although VC has long been considered as the result of a passive precipitation of mineral, it is now well established that this pathology results from an active and highly regulated cellular process, which shares similarities with bone formation. This review summarizes our current knowledge on VC formation, and details the modalities of action of the main actors known to modulate this process.

Abstract: Purpose: To determine the in vivo and in vitro antiangiogenic power of lenalidomide, a “lead compound” of IMiD immunomodulatory drugs in bone marrow (BM) endothelial cells (EC) of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) in active phase (MMEC). Experimental Design: The antiangiogenic effect in vivo was studied using the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. Functional studies in vitro (angiogenesis, “wound” healing and chemotaxis, cell viability, adhesion, and apoptosis) were conducted in both primary MMECs and ECs of patients with monoclonal gammopathies (MGUS) of undetermined significance (MGEC) or healthy human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR, Western blotting, and differential proteomic analysis were used to correlate morphologic and biological EC features with the lenalidomide effects at the gene and protein levels. Results: Lenalidomide exerted a relevant antiangiogenic effect in vivo at 1.75 μmol/L, a dose reached in interstitial fluids of patients treated with 25 mg/d. In vitro, lenalidomide inhibited angiogenesis and migration of MMECs, but not of MGECs or control HUVECs, and had no effect on MMEC viability, apoptosis, or fibronectin- and vitronectin-mediated adhesion. Lenalidomide-treated MMECs showed changes in VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling pathway and several proteins controlling EC motility, cytoskeleton remodeling, and energy metabolism pathways. Conclusions: This study provides information on the molecular mechanisms associated with the antimigratory and antiangiogenic effects of lenalidomide in primary MMECs, thus giving new avenues for effective endothelium-targeted therapies in MM.

Abstract: Vascular calcification is a marker of cardiovascular risk increase. Age and specific disease such as diabetes or chronic kidney disease are important factors for calcification genesis. Vascular calcification process is a complex phenomenon, involving several activators and inhibitors factors. Indeed, recent works related to in vitro and in vivo experimental studies have led to a better understanding of calcification process and identification of molecules able to modulate this system. This revue will summarize some of these molecules with a particular interest of those with therapeutic relevance. We will present: i) calcium sensing receptor and its modulation by cinacalcet; ii) pyrophosphate supplementation; iii) fetuin A and overall propensity serum test for calcification and finally; iv) matrix-Gla-protein and the use of vitamin K to prevent vascular calcification progression.

Abstract: International audience; A better knowledge of physiopathologic mechanisms responsible for vascular calcification leads to emerging biological markers of calcifications. The use of these biomarkers in daily practice requires both clinical and analytical validation. This latter point is of particular importance to implement "research-grade" diagnostic kits into daily practice. Data in the literature underline the lack of method standardization and the non-transferability of results. Depending on the method used, important biological associations might be hidden.

Abstract: A tokamak plasma with internal transport barriers (ITBs) is the best candidate for a steady ITER operation, since the high energy confinement allows working at plasma currents (Ip) lower than the reference scenario. To build and sustain an ITB at the ITER high density (>=1020 m-3) and largely dominant electron (e-) heating is not trivial in most existing tokamaks. FTU can instead meet both requests, thanks to its radiofrequency heating systems, lower hybrid (LH, up to 1.9 MW) and electron cyclotron (EC up to 1.2 MW). By the combined use of them, ITBs are obtained up to peak densities ne0 > 1.3 × 1020 m-3, with central e- temperatures Te0 ? 5.5 keV, and are sustained for as long as the heating pulse is applied (>35 confinement times, ?E). At ne0 ? 0.8 × 1020 m-3 Te0 can be larger than 11 keV. Almost full current drive (CD) and an overall good steadiness is attained within about one ?E, 20 times faster than the ohmic current relaxation time. The ITB extends over a central region with an almost flat or slightly reversed q profile and qmin ? 1.3 that is fully sustained by off-axis lower hybrid current drive. Consequent to this is the beneficial good alignment of the bootstrap current, generated by the ITB large pressure gradients, with the LH driven current. Reflectometry shows a clear change in the turbulence close to the ITB radius, consistent with the reduced e- transport. Ions (i+) are significantly heated via collisions, but thermal equilibrium with electrons cannot be attained since the e--i+ equipartition time is always 4-5 times longer than ?E. No degradation of the overall ion transport, rather a reduction of the i+ heat diffusivity, is observed inside the ITB. The global confinement has been improved up to 1.6 times over the scaling predictions. The ITB radius can be controlled by adjusting the LH power deposition profile that is affected mostly by the q value of the discharge, while the ITB strength can be varied through central EC heating. FTU experiments have shown that ITER-like e-ITBs are achievable.

Abstract: Boronization of FTU tokamak strongly affects its gas recycling, impurity concentration and its temporal evolution. Two main phases are distinguished. In the first one, lasting about 60 discharges, with the machine fully boronized, the radiation losses decrease from 80% to 40% and the impurity content drops from Zeff = 6t oZeff ≈ 1. 5a t ¯ ne ≈ 0.35×10 20 m −3 in ohmic conditions. In the second phase, lasting >500 discharges, with the B film eroded from the TZM toroidal limiter surface but not from the SS walls, the reduction of radiated power (≈60%) and impurities (Zeff ≈ 2.0) though smaller, is still important with respect to pre-boronization, allowing for optimization of plasma characteristics up to the maximum RF power so far injected (2. 6M W ≈ 1. 6M W m −3 ). The recycling properties of the B film are fully stabilized, making the plasma operations much more reliable, while the gettering properties are preserved and they maintain the oxygen below nO 0.5%.

Abstract: High-density plasmas (n{sub o} {approx} 8 x 10{sup 20} m{sup -3}) achieving steady improved core-confinement have been obtained in the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) up to the maximum nominal toroidal field (8 T) by deep multiple pellet injection. These plasmas exhibit also high purity, efficient electron-ion coupling, and peaked density profiles sustained for several energy confinement times. Neutron yields in excess of 1 x 10{sup 13} n/s are measured, consistent with the reduction of the ion transport to neoclassical levels. Improved performance is associated with sawtooth stabilization that occurs when the pellet penetrates close to the q = 1 surface. In this regime, impurity accumulation can be prevented if a slow sawtooth activity is maintained. Experiments aimed at obtaining radiation-improved modes at high field have also been carried out using neon injection. The observed increase of the average density, with respect to the reference discharge, is significantly larger than the contribution of Ne. The neutron yield increases also by a factor of 3 to 6, and the energy confinement time increases by a factor up to 1.4.

Abstract: The main physics results achieved in the recent years in the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) are reviewed. The main focus of research has been the development of performance plasmas at high densities (up to 4 x 10{sup 20} m{sup -3}), high magnetic field (up to 8 T) and plasma current (up to 1.6 MA), that are therefore in a domain of relevance for burning physics experiments such as ITER. The main tools consist in the development of plasma conditioning techniques and the use of various electron heating and current drive systems. Improved confinement regimes have been developed, including (a) the production of steady electron internal transport barriers at high density and electron temperature (up to central electron temperature of 11 keV at a central density of 0.9 x 10{sup 20} m{sup 3}), (b) the production of repetitive pellet enhanced plasma modes with deep pellet deposition leading to a substantial increase of the neutron yield (and a record FTU value of the fusion product n{sub i}T{sub i}{tau}{sub E} up to 0.8 x 10{sup 20} m{sup -3} keV.s), and (c) the production of radiation improved modes at high magnetic field.

Abstract: To achieve good performance on FTU in a large density range (0.3-6.0 × 10 20 m -3 ), boronization with a mixture of He (90%) and B 2 H 6 (10%) (diborane) as the feeding gas has been tested with thermal loads on the limiter surface up to 2.5 MW/m 2 . With boronized limiter (TZM alloy with 98% of Mo) and walls (SS AISI 304), the total radiated power drastically drops from 70-90% down to 35-45% and the Z cn decreases from 6.0 to 2.2 at 0.3-0.4 × 10 20 m -3 related to a strong reduction of heavy-metal concentration and to the getter effect of boron on oxygen (

Abstract: The link between vascular calcification (VC) and increased mortality is now well established. Over time, as clinical importance of this phenomenon has begun to be fully considered, scientists have highlighted more and more physiopathological mechanisms and signaling pathways that underlie VC. Several conditions such as diabetes, dyslipidemia and renal diseases are undoubtedly identified as predisposing factors. But even if the process is better understood, many questions still remain unanswered. This review briefly develops the various theories that attempt to explain mineralization genesis. Nonetheless, the main purpose of the article is to provide a profile of the various existing biomarkers of VC. Indeed, in the past years, a lot of inhibitors and promoters, which form a dense and interconnected network, were identified. Given importance to assess and control mineralization process, a focusing on accumulated knowledge of each marker seemed to be necessary. Therefore, we tried to define their respective role in the physiopathology and how they can contribute to calcification risk assessment. Among these, Klotho/fibroblast growth factor-23, fetuin-A, Matrix Gla protein, Bone morphogenetic protein-2, osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, osteonectin, osteocalcin, pyrophosphate and sclerostin are specifically discussed.

Abstract: High density plasmas (n0 ≈ 8 × 1020m-3) featuring steady improved core confinement have been obtained in FTU up to the maximum nominal toroidal field (8 T) by deep multiple pellet injection. These plasmas also feature high purity efficient electron-ion coupling and peaked density profiles sustained for several confinement times. Neutron yields in excess of 1 × 1013 n/s are measured, consistent with the reduction of the ion transport to neoclassical levels.

Abstract: To assess the relevance of epidemiological findings of the potential effects of electromagnetic fields on the incidence of cancer and leukemia, we have investigated the effects of electromagnetic fields of viral oncogenesis, one of the mechanisms possibly involved in the pathogenesis of such diseases. The preintegrative steps of the replication of a murine retrovirus responsible for the development of leukemia/lymphoma were evaluated in infected T and B lymphocytes after exposure to electromagnetic fields. Under our experimental conditions (sinusoidal 50 Hz EMF 1 mT), any modification was observed in the viral penetration into the cells, in the reverse transcription of the RNA genome and in the production of circularized forms of viral DNA in relation to translocation into the nucleus.

Abstract: The FTU walls have been coated with a silicon film in order to compare plasma characteristics with low-Z (Si) and medium-Z (Ni) first wall materials and to establish the role of oxygen for FTU operations. No variation in energy confinement time, temperature and total kinetic energy is observed when silicon covers limiter and walls, although the radiative properties of silicon and nickel are substantially different; at the same time the density limit is reduced by a factor of 1.5 for silicon and the MARFE instability also appears at lower densities, When the silicon coating is still present on the walls but no longer on the limiter, plasma performances do not change appreciably with respect to those obtained with stainless steel walls. A plasma core-edge coupled model can reproduce the experimental content of impurity, the total radiated power and also, qualitatively, the higher density limit in FTU as the atomic number of the limiter material is increased due to the change from Si to Ni, Mo, W. In addition this confirms that the impurity production is essentially due to physical sputtering and self-sputtering only and indicates that the mechanism responsible for both the density limit and the MARFE on FTU seems to be the power balance at the plasma edge between the conducted power and the locally radiated power.

Abstract: Over the last few years, a great deal of effort has been devoted to solving the problem of power and particle handling in divertors, which has been recognized as a critical issue for the operation of a magnetic fusion reactor. In particular, the choice of materials for plasma facing components has been examined with a view to developing heat and erosion resistant materials for divertor target plates. A large database on the behaviour of low-Z (carbon or beryllium) materials in tokamaks is available, while for high-Z materials there is little experience in the present generation of magnetic fusion devices. Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU), a high field compact tokamak, has devoted part of its experimental campaign to studying the plasma characteristics when its limiter material is changed from the usual Inconel (nickel) to molybdenum and tungsten. Siliconization of the machine has also allowed the comparison of plasma performance when a relatively low-Z (silicon) ion is the dominant impurity. In this article, results are reported concerning the plasma operation, the differences in plasma characteristics and radiation losses, the impurity generation mechanisms and the relative impurity concentrations in the core plasma. A simulation of the experimental results, made with a self-consistent edge-core coupled model is presented, in order to provide evidence of the main physics mechanisms responsible for the observed behaviour

Abstract: An argon injection experiment on the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) plasma has been utilized to clarify the physical mechanism responsible for impurity production. A simple 0-D model for the scrape-off layer (SOL), coupled with sputtering by the main deuteron flux and self-sputtering, can reproduce the variation of impurity concentration, nickel in the case of an Inconel limiter in FTU, when argon is puffed into the plasma. The increase of radiation power losses leads to a decrease of the SOL temperature, and therefore to a decrease of the sputtering yield. Zeff remains essentially unchanged by argon. All the other plasma parameters (temperature and density profiles, ohmic power and energy confinement time) also show no substantial changes. Radiation losses increase, up to 80% of the input power, at relatively high densities, with a corresponding decrease of the heat load on the limiter surface

Abstract: The average values of the scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma quantities of FTU, density, temperature, e-folding lengths are studied as a function of the main plasma parameters and satisfactorily compared with 2D model predictions. The cause of their poloidal asymmetry is investigated and attributed to the variation of the magnetic line connection length. A self consistent model of the FTU plasma, 0D in the core and 1D in the SOL, can reproduce the main features of the impurity production and power radiation in FTU.

Abstract: This paper considers the effects of corruption and government spending on economic growth. It starts from an endogenous growth model and extends it to account for the detrimental effects of corruption on the potentially productive components of government spending, namely military and investment spending. The resulting model is estimated on a sample of African countries and the results show, first, that the growth rate is strongly influenced by the interaction between corruption and military burden, with the interaction between corruption and government investment expenditure having a weaker effect. Second, allowing for the cyclical economic fluctuations in specific countries leaves the estimated elasticities close to those of the full sample. Third, there are significant conditioning variables that need to be taken into account, namely the form of government, political instability and natural resource endowment. These illustrate the cross country heterogeneity when accounting for quantitative direct and indirect effects of key variables on economic growth. Overall, these findings suggest important policy implications.

Abstract: A 2D multifluid model for deuterium plasma and impurity ions has been applied to study the problem of the plasma and nickel ions transport in the FTU tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL). The model is based on the electron-ion fluid equations for background plasma and rate equations for impurities. An analytical model for neutrals is employed allowing to take into account recycling of hydrogen, sputtering and selfsputtering of nickel atoms at the target in a selfconsistent way with boundary plasma dynamics. Equations of the model are solved in the slab geometry using 2D - multifluid code EPIT. Plasma parameters in the SOL are investigated under conditions when the physical sputtering at the target plate is the only mechanism of the impurity production. Calculations are performed for nickel ions in the simplified poloidal geometry of the FTU tokamak scrape-off layer. The calculated results indicate the existence of a selfregulating mechanism limiting the electron temperature in the SOL below 30 eV. A comparison of the calculated results with the experimental data is also reported.

Abstract: Since 2005, international guidelines propose a stadification for chronic renal failure based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) value. The performance of the creatinine-based equations allowing the estimation of GFR and the bias of the creatinine measurements is, more than ever, a crucial issue. The consequences for the clinical biologists are of importance. First, the Cockcroft-Gault formula must be replaced by the four variable-MDRD equation. Second, the biologists must chose from the "175" and the "186" versions of the MDRD equation. The first one fits the creatinine methods which are traceable to the reference method (liquid or gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry). The second equation must be used for creatinine methods, which are not traceable to the reference method. Today, only some enzymatic methods can prove that they are traceable to the reference method. For the colorimetric methods, future is inclear.

Abstract: High Z materials, as possible plasma facing components for a fusion reactor, are being re-evaluated due to their advantages connected to the low sputtering yield and small erosion. A data base of experimental results related to their use on present Tokamak is missing. FTU has carried out a series of experiments with different medium and high Z limiter materials, Ni, Mo, and W, to improve the knowledge of the plasma behavior in these conditions. The results on plasma operation, core parameters, impurity content, and corresponding radiation losses are presented, and compared with those obtained with a low Z dominant impurity (siliconization). A simple model coupling the SOL and the plasma core is able to reproduce the experimental results, indicating that sputtering and self-sputtering are the main physical mechanisms of impurity production. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract: We report on the final electroweak measurements performed with data taken at the Z resonance by the experiments operating at the electron-positron colliders SLC and LEP. The data consist of 17 million Z decays accumulated by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL experiments at LEP, and 600 thousand Z decays by the SLID experiment using a polarised beam at SLC. The measurements include cross-sections, forward-backward asymmetries and polarised asymmetries. The mass and width of the Z boson, m(Z) and Gamma(Z), and its couplings to fermions, for example the p parameter and the effective electroweak mixing angle for leptons, are precisely measured: m(Z) = 91.1875 +/- 0.0021 GeV, Gamma(Z) = 2.4952 +/- 0.0023 GeV, rho(l) = 1.0050 +/- 0.0010, sin(2)theta(eff)(lept) = 0.23153 +/- 0.00016. The number of light neutrino species is determined to be 2.9840 +/- 0.0082, in agreement with the three observed generations of fundamental fermions. The results are compared to the predictions of the Standard Model (SM). At the Z-pole, electroweak radiative corrections beyond the running of the QED and QCD coupling constants are observed with a significance of five standard deviations, and in agreement with the Standard Model. Of the many Z-pole measurements, the forward-backward asymmetry in b-quark production shows the largest difference with respect to its SM expectation, at the level of 2.8 standard deviations. Through radiative corrections evaluated in the framework of the Standard Model, the Z-pole data are also used to predict the mass of the top quark, m(t) = 173(+10)(+13) GeV, and the mass of the W boson, m(W) = 80.363 +/- 0.032 GeV. These indirect constraints are compared to the direct measurements, providing a stringent test of the SM. Using in addition the direct measurements of m(t) and m(W), the mass of the as yet unobserved SM Higgs boson is predicted with a relative uncertainty of about 50% and found to be less than 285 GeV at 95% confidence level.

Abstract: In this paper the results of the experiments of combined injection of LH waves and EC waves performed in the FTU tokamak are reported. Such experiments were mainly devoted to study and to control the access to the advanced tokamak scenarios in plasma conditions close to ITER parameters (Bt≈5T or higher, ne,line≈10 20 m -3 ). Two different absorption mechanisms were used for the EC waves. In the first one the cold resonance absorption of EC waves launched with a toroidal angle was used to induce small modification of the current profile mainly maintained by LH waves. In the second one the absorption through Doppler shift due to the fast electron tails generated by LHCD was used.

Abstract: New experiments with the ion Bernstein waves (IBWs) have been performed in the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) both in hydrogen and deuterium plasmas at higher power level, operation at higher density, higher plasma current and lower effective ion charge values than in the previous campaign. Improved confinement in a region with larger radius is obtained when operating in deuterium. Transport analysis shows a uniform decrease of the electron thermal conductivity by 40% over the radial region bounded by the absorption layer.

Abstract: A thorough investigation of confinement in Frascati Tokamak Upgrade has been carried out on a new database of ohmic, L-mode and advanced scenario discharges (multiple pellet-fuelled, radiation improved and internal transport barriers (ITBs)) obtained with the available auxiliary heating systems, namely electron cyclotron resonant heating, lower hybrid and ion Bernstein wave. A general agreement of the measured τE with ITER97 L-mode scaling is found in ohmic and L-mode discharges. An improvement of the energy confinement time (τE) of up to about 60% over the ITER97 L-mode scaling has been obtained in ITB discharges, together with a reduction in local electron transport in the region of high pressure gradient, and up to about 30% in pellet-fuelled discharges (where τE as large as ~120 ms have been reached). The linear density dependence of τE in ohmic discharges has been found to extend above the saturation density threshold in pellet-fuelled plasmas.

Abstract: An overview of the Frascati tokamak upgrade (FTU) results during the period 2000-2002 is presented. Long duration internal transport barriers (ITBs) have been obtained on FTU with combined injection of lower hybrid (LH) and electron cyclotron (EC) waves in 5 T/0.5 MA discharges. The ITB phase lasts about 10 energy confinement times and is characterized by an energy confinement time up to 1.6 times the ITER97 L-mode scaling. Temperatures up to I I keV are measured at 0.9 x 10(20) m(-3) central density. ITB studies using IBW injection have also been continued up to 8 T/0.8 MA. The LH system has operated at full power allowing us to complete the current drive (CD) studies at ITER-relevant densities. At these density values the electrons and ions are coupled and an increase in the ion temperature is clearly observed. A preliminary sign of enhanced CD efficiency has been obtained in the combined injection of EC and LH waves at magnetic field values lower than the resonant field for thermal EC absorption. Pellet optimization studies have been performed in order to test the conditions under which a quasi-steady-state confinement improvement can be obtained and impurity accumulation can be avoided. The confinement time in Ohmic discharges is generally in agreement with the ITER97 L-mode scaling. Transient confinement improvement is observed for a duration less than one energy confinement time. Radiation improved mode studies have been started thanks to the recently inserted boronization system, which has allowed reduction of the radiated power. Confinement improvement with neon injection has been observed in 6 T/0.9 MA discharges. Transport studies on profile stiffness and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) studies of fast reconnection and snakes will also be presented.

Abstract: High field pellet fuelled discharges in FTU have achieved good energy and particle confinement properties in ohmic quasi-steady regime. Peak densities close to 1x1021 m-3 have been obtained, showing a post pellet decay time of several energy confinement times. Experiments aimed at obtaining Radiative Improved Modes (RIM) at high field have also been carried out using Neon injection. We have observed an increase of average density with respect to the reference discharge, which cannot be explained by the contribution of Neon. The neutron yield increases also by a factor 3- 6 and the energy confinement time increases by a factor 1.4

Abstract: New experiments with the ion Bernstein waves (IBW) has been performed on FTU both in Hydrogen (H) and Deuterium (D) majority plasmas, at higher radio‐frequency power level, plasma density, current, lower effective ion charge than in previous campaign of 1999. Also in these conditions, no role is played by non‐linear edge physics, which prevented, instead, the RF penetration in the plasma bulk of DIII‐D. With resonant toroidal magnetic field (≈8T), improved confinement occurs inside a radial region of 1/3 of the minor radius operating in H‐plasma, and 2/3 of the minor radius operating in D‐majority plasma. Such behavior is consistent with the model of turbulence suppression by locally‐induced‐IBW‐sheared flow expected to occur close the resonant layer. The FTU results provide support for active control of the pressure profile by IBW which is of relevance for advanced tokamaks .

Abstract: The use of baculovirus vectors for gene expression in mammalian cells is in continuous expansion. These vectors do not replicate in mammalian cells, do not cause a cytopathic effect upon infection and are able to carry large DNA inserts. Baculovirus vectors have been shown to transduce various cell types in vitro and in vivo with significant efficiency leading to stable gene expression. This review focuses on recent developments with baculovirus that highlight its potential usefor new gene therapy strategies.

Abstract: A modification of the FTU tokamak (toroidal field BT = 8T, plasma current IP = 1.6MA, minor radius a = 0.3m, major radius R = 0.93m) is proposed in order to extend the FTU operation to strongly shaped plasmas (FTU-D: R = 1m, a = 0.18 - 0.2m, elongation = 1.6, triangularity up to = 0.8). FTU has a circular vacuum vessel and was built to produce circular plasmas, however unbalancing the currents in the windings of the air core transformer a plasma shaping can be produced. Single Null (SN) and Double Null (DN) equilibria have been studied with a maximum current in the range 0.350-0.450 MA. The scientific aim of the project is the investigation of the advanced tokamak operation, characterised by the simultaneous achievement of high (normalised beta) and high bootstrap current fraction ( fB) in regimes with high-energy confinement obtained by current and pressure profile control. The main features of FTU-D, with respect to other existing tokamaks, are the high magnetic field ( BT = 5 - 2.5T), the high density and aspect ratio value (A = R/a = 5-6) and the possibility of investigating regimes with dominant electron heating.

Abstract: We explored the role of cell type in the early steps of replication of Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MLV) by comparing viral entry and reverse transcription in physiologically quiescent peripheral blood B and T lymphocytes. Virus entry was identical in both cell types. In contrast to previous results, full-length viral DNA was synthesized in resting B lymphocytes, but in agreement with earlier reports, reverse transcription was abortive in resting T lymphocytes. The addition of exogenous nucleosides in the culture medium of resting T lymphocytes allowed reverse transcription to proceed in these cells, without inducing cell cycling. These data suggest that the difference in the ability of quiescent T and B lymphocytes to sustain reverse transcription of Mo-MLV can be explained by a difference in the dNTP pool sizes of these two populations of quiescent cells.

Abstract: The EC system at 140 Ghz, 2 MW, being implemented on FTU tokamak for performing electron heating, profile control and current drive, is composed by four gyrotrons with 0.5 s pulse length capability, and four hybrid mirror/waveguide transmission lines. The launching system is capable of poloidal/toroidal beam steering through a set of tiltable in-vacuum mirrors, coupling to the O-mode at the fundamental resonance, with full control of the e.m. field polarization. Experiments have been made with two gyrotrons, by launching 0.8 MW to the plasma. In the high density regime (local n{sub e} from {approx_equal}0.8 up to 2 10{sup 20} m{sup -3}) the e-i energy transfer is significant, and ion heating is observed through the enhancement of the neutron emission in Deuterium plasmas. The highest electron heating is observed when on-axis ECRH is performed in the current ramp-up, sawtooth-free phase. In steady-state conditions, saw-tooth period is increased up to stabilization by off-axis ECRH. Localized ECCD is also performed to assist in the shaping of the current density profile.

Abstract: About 400 kW of rf power at the frequency of 433 MHz were coupled to the plasma of the FTU tokamak by a waveguide antenna. During the experiment, a peaking of the Te and ne profiles and a Hα drop have been observed during the IBW pulse, only when operating with toroidal magnetic field value which allows the wave penetration to in the plasma bulk. Moreover, the electron temperature increased typically from about 2.5 keV to about 4.5 keV with a coupled power of about 350 kW; the line-averaged central plasma density increased from 3×1019 m−3 to about 5×1019 m−3.
