LABORATORY OF INFORMATICS, STATISTICS AND EXPERIMENTAL DATA ANALYSIS
(objectives)
This course will provide statistical, mathematical and computer competences needed to conduct an experiment, synthesizing the data and interpret the obtained results within a theory.
Lessons and practical exercises will drive the student through software tools and statistical theory for: i) treatment, synthesis and analysis of the experimental data; ii) statistical evaluation of errors and confidence intervals; iii) evaluation of the results using statistical inference tests; iv) the comparison of the results with a theory; v) the parameter determination from data refinement.
The physical and statistical principles that govern the experimental observations and cause the uncertainties associated with measurements and data processing will be illustrated.
Basics information on probability and statistical models (distributions) will be provided. Major "hypothesis rejection tests" (Z-test, T-test, chi-square) are described as tools data interpretation and comparison of experimental results. Essential knowledge on PC architecture and working principles is given. Numerical analysis and logic operations are introduced. Basic software for experimental data treatment is used: EXCEL (office), CALC (OpenOffice), Gnuplot

Comparative Anatomy and Developmental Biology
(objectives)
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY AND ANATOMY OF THE VETEBRATE SUB PHYLUM, IN AN EVOLUTIONARY KEY. THE ANATOMICAL ORGANIZATION IS INTERPRETED IN THE ADAPTIVE AND EVOLULUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE. PRINCIPAL AIMS OF THE COURSE ARE THE FOLLOWING: (1) LEARNING AND APPLYING THE COMPARATIVE METHOD; (2) KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE DIVERSE SYSTEMS IN AN EVOLUTIONARY AND FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE; 3) ACHIEVEMENT OF THE ABILITY TO OBSERVE, DESCRIBE AND REPORT. THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE BASIC KNOWLEDGE ON ANIMAL DEVELOPMENT, FROM GAMETOGENESIS TO ORGAN FORMATION. FUNDAMENTAL MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDERLYING DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESSES, SUCH AS CELL DIFFERENTIATION AND MORPHOGENESIS WILL BE APPROACHED. THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL COMPETENCE TO RECOGNIZE EMBRYONIC STRUCTURES OF VERTEBRATES AT THE MACROSCOPIC AND MICROSCOPIC LEVEL.
