Phantom cosmology with a decaying cosmological function Λ(t) induced from...
AbstractIntroducing a variable cosmological function Λ(t) in a geometrical manner from a 5D Riemann-flat metric, we investigate the possibility of having a geometric criterion to choose a suitable...
View ArticleDomain-Engineered Ferroelectric Crystals for Nonlinear and Quantum Optics
AbstractNonlinear optics studies the class of phenomena occurring when an intense light field, typically from a laser source, modifies the optical properties of a transparent material in a nonlinear...
View ArticleScale-invariant scalar metric fluctuations during inflation: non-perturbative...
AbstractWe extend to 5D an approach of a 4D non-perturbative formalism to study scalar metric fluctuations of a 5D Riemann-flat de Sitter background metric. In contrast with the results obtained in 4D,...

AbstractWe present an experimental and theoretical investigation of Ramsey-type interference fringes using high-order harmonic generation. The ninth harmonic (λ ≃ 88 nm) of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire...
View ArticleA high-fidelity noiseless amplifier for quantum light states
AbstractNoise is the price to pay when trying to clone or amplify arbitrary quantum states. However, the quantum noise associated with linear phase-insensitive amplifiers can be avoided by relaxing the...
View ArticleStochastic emergence of inflaton fluctuations in a SdS primordial universe...
AbstractWe develop a stochastic approach to study scalar-field fluctuations of the inflaton field in an early inflationary universe with a black hole (BH), which is described by an effective 4D...
View ArticleManagement of chronic constipation in general practice
AbstractBackgroundChronic constipation is often diagnosed and treated by general practitioners (GPs). The aim of the study was to evaluate the management of constipation by a cohort of Italian...

AbstractCutting edge semiconductor devices for power electronic applications, such as Phase Control Thyristors (PCTs) or Bimode Insulated Gate Transistor (BIGTs), present large area and complex 3D...
View ArticleNon-linear spacecraft component parameters identification based on...
AbstractThe objective of the present paper is to describe a procedure to identify and model the non-linear behaviour of structural elements. The procedure herein applied can be divided into two main...
View ArticlePrucalopride: For functional constipation only?
Abstract Prucalopride is a new prokinetic agent, recently available in Europe for the treatment of functional constipation in adults in whom treatment with laxatives failed to provide adequate relief....

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of a low fermentable oligo-, di- and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) diet on the nutritional status and body composition,...
View ArticlePelvic floor rehabilitation for defecation disorders
AbstractPelvic floor rehabilitation is frequently recommended for defecation disorders, in both constipation and fecal incontinence. However, the lack of patient selection, together with the variety of...
View ArticleRed Flags for early referral of people with symptoms suggestive of...
AbstractObjectiveNarcolepsy is a lifelong disease, manifesting with excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy, arising between childhood and young adulthood. The diagnosis is typically made after a...
View ArticleManagement of perforated diverticulitis with generalized peritonitis. A...
AbstractPerforated diverticulitis is an emergent clinical condition and its management is challenging and still debated. The aim of this position paper was to critically review the available evidence...
