A 45-year sub-annual reconstruction of seawater temperature in the Bay of Brest, France, using the shell oxygen isotope composition of the bivalve Gl…
2020
A reconstruction of sea surface temperature (SST) spanning 45 years (1966–2011) was developed from δ18O obtained from the aragonitic shells of Glycymeris glycymeris, collected from the Bay of Brest, France. Bivalve sampling was undertaken monthly between 2014 and 2015 using a dredge. In total, 401 live specimens and 243 articulated paired valves from dead specimens were collected, of which 24 individuals were used to reconstruct SST. Temperatures determined using the palaeotemperature equation of Royer et al. compared well with observed SST during the growing season between 1998 and 2010 (Pearson’s correlation: p = 0.002, r = 0.760). Furthermore, a significant negative correlation was foun…
Evaluation of Sentinel-2 Red-Edge Bands for Empirical Estimation of Green LAI and Chlorophyll Content
2011
ESA’s upcoming satellite Sentinel-2 will provide Earth images of high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution and aims to ensure continuity for Landsat and SPOT observations. In comparison to the latter sensors, Sentinel-2 incorporates three new spectral bands in the red-edge region, which are centered at 705, 740 and 783 nm. This study addresses the importance of these new bands for the retrieval and monitoring of two important biophysical parameters: green leaf area index (LAI) and chlorophyll content (Ch). With data from several ESA field campaigns over agricultural sites (SPARC, AgriSAR, CEFLES2) we have evaluated the efficacy of two empirical methods that specifically make use of the…
Escrito sobre la piel. La memoria tatuada en la obra autobiográfica de Naomi Kawase
2017
La autobiografía es escritura de la his- toria de las vidas y esta solo puede ser relatada con el cuerpo. Por eso, el lugar de la ficción, de la historia y de la memoria nos acerca a un conoci- miento diverso. Tomaremos la historia de la direc- tora japonesa Naomi Kawase como estudio sobre la escritura autobiográfica en el cuerpo. En el film Kya Ka Ra Ba A (2001) Kawase decide tatuarse el mismo dibujo que su padre. Ella nunca le cono- ció. Por esa razón, intenta construir una memoria afectiva a través de contarse su propia historia en el cine. La tinta del relato es la tinta del tatuaje. The autobiography is the writting about the life’s stories and they only can be narrated with the body. …
DRUG INDUCED LIVER INJURIES BY TICAGRELORSTATINS INTERACTION: A CASE REPORT
2017
Background: The anti-aggregant therapy with aspirin and inhibitor of P2Y12 platelets receptor for ADP, such as ticagrelor, can be used to prevent atherothrombotic events in patients with coronaric acute syndrome. Statins are also recommended in these patients even if the safety profile is burdened by the risk of drug interaction (CYP 3A4 inhibition by ticagrelor). Here, we report a case of acute rabdomiolysis and hepatotoxicity in a woman with a recent myocardial infarction treated with ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily, aspirin 100 mg daily, atorvastatina 40 mg once daily. Methods: We report a case of 68 old Caucasian woman with a diagnosis of myocardial infarction and coronary percutaneous ste…
Different trends of neighboring populations of Lesser Kestrel: Effects of climate and other environmental conditions
2019
The sensitivity of population trends to the climate and environment is generally considered a species-specific trait. However, evidence that populations may show different responses to the climate and environmental conditions is growing. Whether this differential sensitivity may arise even among neighboring populations remains elusive. We compared the trends of two neighboring populations of the Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni, using data from a 12-year survey of 158 colonies in Sicily, Italy; the two populations inhabiting a lowland and an highland area, respectively. Population trends were modeled through the TRIM algorithms implemented in R (package rtrim). A reversed U-shaped population t…
