Correlation of the highest-energy cosmic rays with nearby extragalactic objects.

2007

Using data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory during the past 3.7 years, we demonstrated a correlation between the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above ~ 6x10^{19} electron volts and the positions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) lying within ~ 75 megaparsecs. We rejected the hypothesis of an isotropic distribution of these cosmic rays with at least a 99% confidence level from a prescribed a priori test. The correlation we observed is compatible with the hypothesis that the highest energy particles originate from nearby extragalactic sources whose flux has not been substantially reduced by interaction with the cosmic background radiation. AGN or objects having a similar…

Actividad Física y deporte en la terapia de drogodependientes: Un resumen de la situación y de las posibilidades en España y Alemania

2003

Aunque la actividad físico-deportiva está siendo establecida progresivamente en la rehabilitación de muchas enfermedades y en la mejora de la salud, su grado de recono¬cimiento en el área de la drogodependencia es bajo. En este estudio se expondrá cómo la utilización del ejercicio físico y el deporte en las Comunidades Terapéuticas está insuficientemente valorada.Como un fundamento teórico de la intervención consideramos el Modelo de Salutogenesis de Antonovsky. En este contexto presentaremos investigaciones que versan sobre los beneficios del deporte y los objetivos del mismo. Revisamos la bibliografía internacio¬nal, especialmente en España y en Alemania. Además se presentarán los datos d…

Contra la patologización intensiva en términos de derechos humanos: Activismo gordo en Argentina

2020

This work addresses the way in which Argentine Fat Activism has developed, in recent years, the demand for depathologization of fatness, taking elements from critical discourses on the health of fat people to frame them in a perspective typical of the Human Rights. First, the contemporary fat body is described in terms of stigma and discrimination, especially in the health field. Then, they refer to a series of critical positions on the pathologization and medicalization of fatness from the biomedical perspective, Fat Studies and Fat Activism. Lastly, a series of interventions that the Argentine activist collective Taller Hacer la Vista Gorda produced between 2017 and 2020 were considered, …

Is the nonREM–REM sleep cycle reset by forced awakenings from REM sleep?

2002

In selective REM sleep deprivation (SRSD), the occurrence of stage REM is repeatedly interrupted by short awakenings. Typically, the interventions aggregate in clusters resembling the REM episodes in undisturbed sleep. This salient phenomenon can easily be explained if the nonREM–REM sleep process is continued during the periods of forced wakefulness. However, earlier studies have alternatively suggested that awakenings from sleep might rather discontinue and reset the ultradian process. Theoretically, the two explanations predict a different distribution of REM episode duration. We evaluated 117 SRSD treatment nights recorded from 14 depressive inpatients receiving low dosages of Trimipram…

Modeling S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine protonation and activity coefficients in sodium and tetramethylammonium chloride aqueous solutions by SIT and Pit…

2007

Solubility and acid–base properties of S-carboxymethyl-l-cysteine (carbocysteine, ccys) in NaClaq and tetramethylammonium chloride, (CH3)4NClaq ,a tt =2 5 ◦ C and at different ionic strengths were investigated. Solubility was studied at 1.0 ≤ I (mol L −1 ) ≤ 5.0 for NaClaq and 1.0 ≤ I (mol L −1 ) ≤ 3.0 for (CH3)4NClaq, while potentiometric measurements (by ISE-H + , glass electrode) were performed at 0.1 ≤ I (mol L −1 ) ≤ 5.0 for NaClaq and 0.5 ≤ I (mol L −1 ) ≤ 3.0 for (CH3)4NClaq. Solubility data allowed us to determine Setschenow constants and activity coefficients of neutral carbocysteine (H2ccys). Dependence on ionic strength and ionic medium of protonation constants and activity coeff…

Hydrolysis and chemical speciation of dioxouranium(VI) ion in aqueous media simulating the major ion composition of seawater

2004

Abstract The hydrolysis and chemical speciation of the dioxouranium(VI) ion at 25 °C was studied in a number of binary electrolytes (LiCl, NaCl, MgCl2, CaCl2, Na2SO4) and some mixtures (NaCl–Na2SO4, NaNO3–Na2SO4, CaCl2–MgCl2) as well as artificial seawater (SSWE) as a function of ionic strength. The results in LiCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2 solutions confirmed the formation of (UO2)2(OH)22+, (UO2)3(OH)42+, (UO2)3(OH)5+ and (UO2)3(OH)7− species (at I=0 mol l−1: log Tβ22=−5.76, log Tβ34=−11.82, log Tβ35=−15.89 and log Tβ37=−29.26). For NaNO3, NaCl and artificial seawater the hydrolysis constant for the formation of the UO2(OH)+ species was also determined (at I=0 mol l−1: log Tβ11=−5.19). The results …

Modeling ATP protonation and activity coefficients in NaClaq and KClaq by SIT and Pitzer equations.

2006

Abstract The acid–base properties of Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) in NaCl and KCl aqueous solutions at different ionic strengths (0  I  / mol L − 1  ≤ 5 for NaCl aq , 0  I  / mol L − 1  ≤ 3 for KCl aq ) and at t  = 25 °C were investigated. A selection of literature data on ATP protonation constants and on activity isopiestic coefficients was performed, together with new potentiometric measurements (by ISE-H + , glass electrode). Both literature and new experimental data were used to model the dependence on ionic strength and ionic medium of ATP protonation by SIT (Specific ion Interaction Theory) and Pitzer equations. In addition to values of first and second ATP protonation constants in…

Acute Effects on Impact Accelerations Running with Objects in the Hand

2021

Amateur runners usually run carrying implements in their hands (keys, a mobile phone, or a bottle of water). However, there is a lack of literature about the effects of different handloads on impact accelerations. Thus, this study aimed to analyse the effects of carrying different objects in the hand on impact accelerations during running. Nineteen male recreational runners (age 24.3 ± 6.8 years, training volume of 25 ± 7.38 km/week) performed twenty minutes of running on a treadmill at 2.78 m/s with four different conditions: no extra weight, with keys, with a mobile phone, and with a bottle of water. Impact acceleration and spatio-temporal parameters were analysed through a wireless triax…

Ellas, ellos y su móvil: Uso, abuso (¿y dependencia?) del teléfono móvil en la adolescencia

2009

El móvil tiene una serie de atributos que lo hacen singularmente atractivo a los adolescentes: autonomía respecto de los padres, optimización de la comunicación con las amistades, o ampliación y mantenimiento de las relaciones interpersonales. Como teléfono no solamente es un instrumento para hablar en la distancia, que es lo que etimológicamente significa, sino que dispone de un amplio elenco de funciones relacionadas con las innovaciones tecnológicas que son extraordinariamente atractivas para los jóvenes. Esta multifuncionalidad, añadido al hecho de la significación que adquiere para los adolescentes puede explicar no sólo la fascinación que provoca en ellos, sino el hecho de que chicas …
