Topological Strings, Two-Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory and Chern-Simons Theory on Torus Bundles (2006)

Caporaso, N., Cirafici, M., Griguolo, L., Pasquetti, S., Seminara, D., Szabo, R. J.

We study the relations between two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the torus, topological string theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold whose local geometry is the sum of two line bundles over the torus,...

Phase transitions, double-scaling limit, and topological strings (2006)

Caporaso, N, Griguolo, L, Marino, M, Pasquetti, S, Seminara, D

Topological strings on Calabi--Yau manifolds are known to undergo phase transitions at small distances. We study this issue in the case of perturbative topological strings on local Calabi--Yau...

Black-holes, topological strings and large N phase transitions (2005)

Caporaso, N., Cirafici, M., Griguolo, L., Pasquetti, S., Seminara, D., Szabo, R. J.

The counting of microstates of BPS black-holes on local Calabi-Yau of the form ${\mathcal O}(p-2)\oplus{\mathcal O}(-p) \longrightarrow S^2$ is explored by computing the partition function of...

Antifungal activity in human urine and serum after ingestion of garlic (Allium sativum).

Caporaso, N, Smith, S M, Eng, R H

A fresh extract of garlic (Allium sativum) was administered orally to human volunteers. At intervals, serum and urine were collected and assayed for antifungal activity. The maximum tolerable dose...

Tobacco and cancer: epidemiology and the laboratory.

Vineis, P, Caporaso, N

Tobacco smoke contains many mutagenic and carcinogenic chemicals. Both whole tobacco smoke and extracts induce tumors in experimental animals. Work with carcinogen-macromolecule adducts provided...

IgM antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (IgM anti-HBc): diagnostic and prognostic significance in acute HBsAg positive hepatitis.

Lavarini, C, Farci, P, Chiaberge, E, Veglio, V, Giacobbi, D, Bedarida, G, ...

IgM antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (IgM anti-HBc), a marker of recent hepatitis B virus infection, was sought by radioimmunoassay in sera diluted 1/4000 from 376 patients presenting to...

Carcinogen-DNA adducts in exfoliated urothelial cells: techniques for noninvasive human monitoring.

Talaska, G, Schamer, M, Skipper, P, Tannenbaum, S, Caporaso, N, Kadlubar, F, ...

Detection of carcinogen-DNA adducts in DNA from exfoliated urothelial cells from animals and humans exposed to potential environmental carcinogens is described. In an animal model,...

Infection with the delta agent in children.

Farci, P, Barbera, C, Navone, C, Bortolotti, F, Vajro, P, Caporaso, N, ...

Serological evidence of infection with the hepatitis B virus associated delta agent (delta) was found in 34 of 270 Italian children with HBsAg-positive liver disease. In different histological forms...

Retreatment with interferon plus ribavirin of chronic hepatitis C non-responders to interferon monotherapy: a meta-analysis of individual patient data

Cammà, C, Bruno, S, Schepis, F, Lo Iacono, O, Andreone, P, Gramenzi, A G, ...

Background and aims: Retreatment with a combination of α interferon (IFN) plus ribavirin of patients with chronic hepatitis C who did not respond to IFN monotherapy has not been assessed in large...
