The formation of alluvial fans and young floodplain deposits in the Lieser catchment, Eifel Mountains, western German Uplands: A study of soil erosio…
2011
This study deals with the exploration and spatiotemporal quantification of the young Holocene, nearly skeleton-free floodplain sediments of the Lieser River, a tributary of the Mosel River in the Eifel Mts. The deposits are primarily a consequence of anthropogenic-triggered soil erosion in the catchment. To observe the phenomenon of corresponding soil erosion on multiple levels two small alluvial fans of tributary catchments were investigated. For comparison, one location in the neighboring Salm valley was described. The results were compared with those of other streams. With extensive fieldwork more than 100 drillings and pits were made at 12 locations. For dating the sediments OSL dating…
Using post-flood surveys and geomorphologic mapping to evaluate hydrological and hydraulic models: The flash flood of the Girona River (Spain) in 2007
2016
This paper analyzes the Girona River (Spain) flash flood, occurred on the 12th of October 2007, combining hydrological and hydraulic modeling with geomorphologic mapping and post-flood survey information. This research aims to reproduce the flood event in order to understand and decipher the flood processes and dynamics on a system of prograding alluvial fans. The hydrological model TETIS was used to characterize the shape and dimension of the October 2007 Girona River hydrograph. Subsequently, the flood event was reproduced using the free surface flow module of the model RiverFlow2D. The combination of hydrological and hydraulic models was evaluated using post-flood surveys defining maximu…
Late Pleistocene and Holocene landscape history of the central Palatinate forest (Pfälzerwald, south-western Germany)
2010
Abstract Field studies on the Late Pleistocene and Holocene landscape history were conducted in the central Palatinate Forest ( Pfalzerwald , Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) near the village of Johanniskreuz. The structure and composition of periglacial cover beds, the young floodplain sediments of the Aschbach, Schwarzbach und Moosalbe valleys, and the sediment structure in some dry valleys, of alluvial fans and slope colluvia, were studied. The sandy cover beds are less than 10% aeolian, and in all cases only the main and basal layer are present, with no evidence of the intermediate layer. In general, the cover beds resemble those of other parts of the Central German Uplands ( Mittelgebirg…
RT-PCR and in situ hybridization analysis of apolipoprotein H expression in rat normal tissues
2006
In this study, by using different techniques (i.e. Northern blot hybridization, RT-PCR and Southern blot hybridization) on various normal rat tissues, we were able to identify liver, kidney, heart, small intestine, brain, spleen, stomach and prostate as tissues in which the ApoH gene is transcribed. Moreover, for some of these tissues, by in situ hybridization, we found a specific localization of apoH transcripts. For instance epithelial cells of the bile ducts in liver and of the proximal tubules in kidney are the major sites of apoH synthesis. Our data suggest that some of the different physiological roles proposed for apoH could correlate with its direct expression, while others could co…
A Modern Classic of Fantastic Art: José Hernández
2021
José Hernández (Tánger, 1944-Málaga, 2013) es uno de los grandes maestros del arte fantástico con una extensa obra pictórica y gráfica reconocida en todo el mundo. En un momento en el que el arte fantástico empieza a valorarse positivamente en museos y el ámbito académico, Hernández es un referente indispensable tanto en el ámbito español como en el panorama internacional. Con una extensa obra desde los años sesenta, su personal poética proyecta un imaginario perturbador, onírico y grotesco habitado por monstruos y espectros que deambulan por misteriosos espacios, un universo muy relacionado con la tradición de los pintores renancentistas y barrocos y la literatura fantástica.
Reja Bredberija romāna “451 grāds pēc Fārenheita” personāžu vizuālo tēlu izstrāde
2015
Pēdējos gados ir strauji pieaugušas tehnoloģiskās iespējas, veidojot visdažādākos koncepta dizainus. Tādu jaunu programmu pieejamība kā, piemēram, Photoshop, sniedz jebkuram interesentam iespējas realizēt pat visfantastiskākās savas idejas ātri, efektīgi un foto-reālistiski. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot zinātniskās fantastikas savienojamības iespējas koncepta dizainā. Teorētiskajā daļā apskatīta literatūra par zinātnisko fantastiku, Reja Bredberija daiļrade, kā arī Reja Bredberija 1953.gadā izdotais romāns “451 grāds pēc Fārenheita”, koncepta dizaina principi, process un metodes. Pētnieciskajā daļā kā darba izpētes objekts tika analizētas koncepta dizaina grāmatas, kas balstītas uz zinātnisko…
Castron kastraatio : Pedro Juan Gutiérrezin proosa castrokommunistisen utopian romuttajana
2016
This dissertation explores how Pedro Juan Gutiérrez's fiction corresponds to the Castrocommunist utopia. The study has three goals: (1) to explain how Castro-communism has formed, altered and impacted on Cuban literature; (2) to investigate how Gutiérrez's fiction corresponds to the Castro-communist utopia and ideals; and (3) how his parodic (anti)detective story Nuestro GG en La Habana (2004) is based on and relates to Cuban socialist detective stories, Graham Greene's spy farce Our Man in Havana, Castro-communist historiography and the social, ideological and economic shifts in Cuban society during the 1990s. Previous studies on Gutiérrez's fiction have focused almost exclusively on the a…

Variazioni sul tema del fantastico. "Horcynus Orca" di Stefano D'Arrigo
2006
L'oggetto principale di indagine di questo studio è l'invenzione linguistica dello straordinario poema horcynuso (1975). In linea con le più recenti teorie novecentesche sul modo fantastico, l'ipotesi qui avanzata dalla studiosa è di individuare nello 'straviamento' linguistico, nei continui passaggi dal simbolico all'onirico, dal reale al fantastico, messi in opera dallo scrittore siciliano, la genesi inventiva del processo di 'fantasticizzazione' del reale. Chiude il libro un excursus sul singolare rapporto degli scrittori siciliani con il modo realistico e con quello fantastico nel Novecento.
Hibridisme i autoreferència en el fantàstic d'Espiral, de Manuel Baixauli
2018
The aim of this paper is to define and to analyse the fantastic universe of short stories by Manuel Baixauli published in the volume Espiral (2010), an original and highly significant example of modern fantastic literature that has abolished the real and imaginary borders, that is to say a significant example of fantastic literature conceived as a language phenomenon. The conception of reality integrates and naturalises the supernatural and the irrational in a vision that joins multiple dimensions and perspectives of reality. The self-referential component is also of essential importance in this fantastic, which assimilates and exhibits themes and motifs of inherited traditions in a fully c…
