Social Lives of Monumental Walls: Hunting along the Upper Tigris
2021
On the left bank of the Tigris in northern Iraq, in an area today partially flooded by the Mosul Dam reservoir, lies an enigmatic monumental enclosure known in the literature as the “Tigris Wall.” Before its partial submersion under the waters of the modern lake, the large L-shaped embankment, about 4 × 4 km long, enclosed an area of ca. 1600 ha, overlooking the Tigris and its alluvial plain. By means of a holistic strategy that includes different levels of analysis (remote sensing, pedestrian and UAV photogrammetric surveys, excavation, and settlement pattern analysis), this paper addresses the structure, its context, and its environment. Relying on the results of this multi-disciplinary a…
Estudio del papel de la proteína activadora de la apoptosis apaf-1 en modelos celulares de la enfermedad de huntington
2012
La apoptosis es un proceso biológico regulado a través de interacciones proteína-proteína que conforman diversos complejos. Estos complejos representan puntos interesantes de intervenciones químicas en diversas enfermedades neurodegenerativas como la enfermedad de Huntington (HD). Esta enfermedad se presenta debido a la expansión de poliglutaminas en el extremo N-terminal de la proteína huntingtina (Htt). En la actualidad, una de las características más estudiadas de esta patología es la formación de agregados de proteínas en el espacio citosólico y nuclear que incluyen a fragmentos N-terminal de la proteína huntingtina mutante (mHtt). El papel de los agregados en la patología es aún discut…
Stéréophonie et littérature : résonnance et reverbération dans les chansons de gestes et romans des XIIe et XIIIe siècles
2016
The chansons de geste and chivalric romances from the 12th and 13th centuries are a faithful testimony of the reality of their time, and sensory perceptions are among these testimonies. The written word provides not only descriptive and objective information, but also the impressions perceived and conveyed by the author, which are the sensations the reader has to get acquainted with in order to make the story their own. Mentions to sound effects and the sound features of a particular space are remarkable, and a compilation of these references from various texts allows us to study the sounds, resonances, and spaces through which the sound event gains prominence in the narrative. These includ…
Impacto de la enfermedad de Huntington en la familia
2012
Se describen las alteraciones estructurales y emocionales de las familias con uno o más miembros enfermos de Huntington, en función de los diferentes síntomas, del afectado (descendientes, progenitores) y de las diferentes etapas. Consideramos que los servicios de ayuda a la familia deben estar compuestos por profesionales expertos en las necesidades específicas de esta enfermedad y que deben ayudar a planificar y diseñar las ayudas de manera individual, adecuada y flexible. Esta ayuda debe centrarse en superar el impacto de la enfermedad, en proporcionar información relevante, en buscar soluciones prácticas, en dar apoyo emocional, en diseñar los cuidados necesarios en cada caso y etapa, y…
Diseased Social Predators
2017
Social predators benefit from cooperation in the form of increased hunting success, but may be at higher risk of disease infection due to living in groups. Here, we use mathematical modeling to investigate the impact of disease transmission on the population dynamics benefits provided by group hunting. We consider a predator-prey model with foraging facilitation that can induce strong Allee effects in the predators. We extend this model by an infectious disease spreading horizontally and vertically in the predator population. The model is a system of three nonlinear differential equations. We analyze the equilibrium points and their stability as well as one- and two-parameter bifurcations. …
Ubiquitin-independent function of optineurin in autophagic clearance of protein aggregates.
2013
Summary Aggregation of misfolded proteins and the associated loss of neurons are considered a hallmark of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Optineurin is present in protein inclusions observed in various neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Creutzfeld-Jacob disease and Pick's disease. Optineurin deletion mutations have also been described in ALS patients. However, the role of optineurin in mechanisms of protein aggregation remains unclear. In this report, we demonstrate that optineurin recognizes various protein aggregates via its C-terminal coiled-coil domain in a ubiquitin-independent m…

The "Mathematical Table" in the Chinese Lodge of Palermo
2015
The end of the 18th century sees the decline of the late baroque and rococo in the decorative arts and the origin of the neoclassic essentiality. Nonetheless, the spirit of competition among the members of the European courts and of the aristocracy in erecting magnificent residences inside spectacular parks, full of astonishing pieces of furniture, is still alive and floods of money are spent without restraint. In this very period, a new curious type of dining table makes its appearance in the aristocratic dwelling houses and precisely in the hunting lodge of the Bourbon Court close to the city of Palermo in Sicily: the "Mathematical Table". This name is due to the fantasy of its designer, …
