Greenhouse gases from membrane bioreactor treating hydrocarbon and saline wastewater
2015
The effect of wastewater salinity and presence of petroleum hydrocarbon on N2O emission was investigated in a membrane bioreactor, in which the anoxic and aerobic zones were put in series according to a pre-denitrification scheme. The pilot plant, was continuously fed by a mixture of real and synthetic wastewater. It was operated with a first phase of acclimation of the biomass to a given salinity by gradually increasing the salt concentration from 10 gNaCl/L to 20 gNaCl/L, and to a second phase of petroleum hydrocarbon dosing at 2 g/L (as gasoline). The first phase revealed a clear relationship between nitrous oxide emissions and salinity due to the increased NO2-N production caused by the…
Sports teams as complex adaptive systems: manipulating player numbers shapes behaviours during football small-sided games
2016
Small-sided and conditioned games (SSCGs) in sport have been modelled as complex adaptive systems. Research has shown that the relative space per player (RSP) formulated in SSCGs can impact on emergent tactical behaviours. In this study we adopted a systems orientation to analyse how different RSP values, obtained through manipulations of player numbers, influenced four measures of interpersonal coordination observed during performance in SSCGs. For this purpose we calculated positional data (GPS 15 Hz) from ten U-15 football players performing in three SSCGs varying in player numbers (3v3, 4v4 and 5v5). Key measures of SSCG system behaviours included values of (1) players’ dispersion, (2) …
Un retrato de las tipologías sociales de la España de los años 50 a través de El DDT contra las penas = A portrait of social typologies of Spain from…
2015
Tradicionalmente, la historieta ha sido considerada como una forma cultural menor de vocación infantil, por lo que su estudio había sido soslayado en los estudios históricos hasta la reivindicación que diferentes investigadores comenzaron a hacer de la importancia historiográfica de la historieta tanto como referente gráfico como recurso de análisis diacrónico y sincrónico. En el presente estudio se hace un análisis de las posibilidades de estudio de tipologías y estereotipos sociales que muestra una de las publicaciones humorísticas básicas de los años 50, El DDT contra las penas, de Editorial Bruguera, indicando cómo los diferentes personajes que aparecen en sus páginas se pueden clasific…
Potential for adaptation to climate change: family-level variation in fitness-related traits and their responses to heat waves in a snail population.
2017
Background On-going global climate change poses a serious threat for natural populations unless they are able to evolutionarily adapt to changing environmental conditions (e.g. increasing average temperatures, occurrence of extreme weather events). A prerequisite for evolutionary change is within-population heritable genetic variation in traits subject to selection. In relation to climate change, mainly phenological traits as well as heat and desiccation resistance have been examined for such variation. Therefore, it is important to investigate adaptive potential under climate change conditions across a broader range of traits. This is especially true for life-history traits and defences ag…

Heart of Spain
1991
Heart of Spain no es sólo el título de un film sobre la guerra civil española; es también una constante apelación y una retórica. Una metáfora biológica que se muda en sentimental y a la que se refiere repetidamente el cine de la posguerra. Coloquemos junto a esta metáfora otra que le suele acompañar, también física: la herida. Es así como toma cuerpo el universo al que remiten los films de la posguerra: por una parte, apelando a la grandeza ampulosa del corazón español, corazón éste siempre del lado de los vencedores (el valor, el amor a la patria, a la familia, a la tradición), mientras frente a él se advierte la aplicación deshumanizada de las consignas republicanas, tachadas con papanat…
Metody magazynowania zbóż do celów technologicznych
2017
Zboża stanowią główne źródło węglowodanów dla człowieka i zwierząt hodowlanych. Dlatego istotne jest zachowanie optymalnych warunków w trakcie łańcuch technologicznego. Ważnym etapem w produkcji rolnej jest magazynowanie. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie metod magazynowania zbóż o przeznaczeniutechnologicznym wykorzystywanych w przechowalnictwie. Obecnie podczas magazynowania zbóż wykorzystuje się trzy metody przechowywania: magazyny płaskie, silosy zbożowe oraz rękawy foliowe. Każdy z sposobów magazynowania ma zarówno zalety jak i wady. Magazyny płaskie wykorzystywane są do składowania dużych ilości zboża, ich obsługa w porównaniu do silosów zbożowych jest bardziej złożona. Trudniej sterowa…
Framing War and the Nonhuman in Science-Fiction Television: The Affective Politics of V
2020
This article investigates how war between humans and aliens is framed in the original and reimagined versions of the SF television series V and the affective responses and ethical considerations that these frames evoke. Inspired by the work of Judith Butler and Sarah Ahmed and by posthumanist thinking, I analyse how SF television takes part in the cultural formation of “livable lives” for both human and nonhuman beings. It is argued that the kinds of violence that art or the media, including fiction, represent matter for the formation of ethical and political responses to violence. peerReviewed
The Supranational Dimension in Max Weber’s Vision of Politics
2019
Max Weber analyzed politics from the perspective of Chancen for actors, and he never separated world politics from domestic politics. The “Westphalian balance” between great European powers shaped Weber’s views on international polity. However, he also regarded Western individualism, human rights, and parliamentary democracy as necessary qualities to possess in order to be recognized as a great power. This vision provided the basis for his wartime critique of the expansionist tendencies in German foreign policy and for his demand for the parliamentarization of German politics. After the end of World War I, Weber used Woodrow Wilson’s idea of the League of Nations as the basis for a proposal…
