Six amino acids define a minimal dimerization sequence and stabilize a transmembrane helix dimer by close packing and hydrogen bonding
2013
AbstractDistinct amino acid sequences have been described to mediate oligomerization of transmembrane α-helices. However, as the sequence context is crucial to determine specificity in transmembrane helix–helix interaction, the question arises how small a sequence can be without losing specificity. In the present analysis, six amino acids have been identified in the PsbF transmembrane helix dimer, which form the contact region of two interacting helices and are directly involved in helix–helix interactions. However, individual amino acids within the complex sequence pattern only together ensure sequence specificity of the analyzed transmembrane helix–helix interactions by mediating close pa…
Human brain evolution : how the increase of brain plasticity made us a cultural species
2016
Why are humans so different from other primate species? What makes us so capable of creating language, art and music? The specializations in human brain anatomy that are responsible for our unique behavioral and cognitive traits evolved over a very short period of evolutionary time (between six and eight million years). Recent evidence suggests that, alongside a reorganization of the brain and an increase in its size, neural plasticity may also play a major role in explaining the evolutionary history of our species. Plasticity is the propensity of the brain to be molded by external influences, including the ecological, social and cultural context. The impact of these environmental influence…

Studying students ́satisfaction at music schools in the Valencian Region
2017
[EN] Satisfaction is a key construct but complex to be measured. Within the cultural context and from the discipline of marketing, satisfaction consists of assessing some experiences without considering consumers ́ expectations. From this approach, this paper deals with an empirical research aiming at analyzing satisfaction among students of music conservatoires and schools. The research, qualitative and quantitative in nature, allowed to know users ́ assessment of different variables: studies, teaching staff, information technologies, premises and administration procedures. To do so, a self-administered survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate anal…
Las comunidades de Castilla (1520-1522) como conflicto intraurbano. Sus peculiaridades en el contexto político europeo
2021
En 1520 y 1521 las ciudades castellanas fueron escenario de enconados conflictos políticos que dieron lugar a la introducción de radicales cambios en el régimen de gobierno local. Como consecuencia por primera vez dichas ciudades ofrecieron evidentes paralelismos con las de otros ámbitos de Europa, en particular las alemanas, en las que durante los siglos XIv y Xv y en la primera mitad del XvI proliferaron las revueltas y disputas por el poder político urbano, que con frecuencia conllevaron la introducción de cambios constitucionales de calado. En este artículo el autor se ocupa de la identificación de los principales paralelismos y divergencias, o singularidades, de las ciudades castellana…

Viaggi nell’immaginario: il turismo virtuale nel sito UNESCO di Tarragona
2023
Le nuove tecnologie hanno trasformato in modo radicale non solo la geografia come disciplina, ma anche le geografie del mondo. Il digitale ha assunto, infatti, un ruolo di mediazione sempre più pervasivo nella produzione dello spazio, come delle conoscenze e degli immaginari geografici. Le possibilità offerte dal virtuale, in particolare, offrono oggi un contributo decisivo nella comunicazione dei significati attribuiti ai luoghi e rispondono in modo sempre più efficace ai bisogni emergenti del settore turistico. Le esperienze di visita mediate dal digitale mirano a coinvolgere i sensi e risultano efficaci quando promuovono immersioni rigorosamente realistiche. Nel quadro di queste riflessi…
Penal Contextualism and Ideational Frameworks: A Guide for the Perplexed
2017
In my paper, I attempt a critical review of Nicola Lacey’s book In Search of Criminal Responsibility, by arguing, firstly, that she gives the categories of “character responsibility” and “capacity responsibility” an over-inclusive account, which results from her filling each of them with views that are not only disparate but also based, at least in part, on conflicting principles; and, secondly, that Lacey’s spelling out of various conceptions of “criminal responsibility” necessarily entails an underlying unitary definition of its subject matter, that is, the concept of “criminal responsibility,” which seems to conflict with her (version of) penal contextualism.
