Entre Trapani et Tunis. De la période du Risorgimento à la fin du Protectorat français: parcours de travailleurs et d’entrepreneurs au-delà du Canal …
2019
Sin dai tempi più antichi, il Canale di Sicilia e la città di Trapani hanno costituito un ponte naturale fra il Maghreb e la Sicilia. Il saggio mette a sistema alcuni studi sugli architetti ed imprenditori di origine trapanese che emigrarono in Tunisia fra il XVIII e XIX secolo e ne propone una lettura inedita. Il fil rouge che lega Giuseppe Abita, la famiglia di imprenditori Canino e Domenico Basciano riguarda sia la loro provenienza dalla città siciliana, ma soprattutto l'importante contributo che essi hanno trasferito nell'architettura del periodo coloniale e post-coloniale francese nel Maghreb.

Testing Individual Risk of Acute Mountain Sickness at Greater Altitudes
2009
The assessment of an individual's degree of acclimatization to altitude is difficult. This is particularly applicable to military operations that have to be performed at altitude. This study describes a new and simple test that allows for the determination of an individual's risk for high-altitude illness at higher altitudes. The prediction is based on the lowest oxygen saturation (SaO2) found during an uphill run at high altitude (11,060 ft [3,371 m]), combined with the time needed to complete the run. The test results were compared against the severity of high-altitude symptomatology on the summit of Mont Blanc (15,762 ft [4,808 m]). The main outcome was the significant correlation betwee…
Influence of contrast polarity on the accommodative response☆
2018
espanolObjetivo Evaluar los cambios de la respuesta acomodativa del ojo al leer un texto en diferentes condiciones de polaridad de contraste: letras negras sobre fondo blanco (condicion BoW) y letras blancas sobre fondo negro (condicion WoB). Metodos En este estudio experimental participaron dieciocho sujetos de edades comprendidas entre 21 y 41 anos. Se obtuvo objetivamente la respuesta acomodativa (AR) del ojo al leer un texto con polaridad de contraste BoW o WoB con un sistema de optica adaptativa que corregia todas las aberraciones salvo las propias del sujeto. Se estudiaron dos tamanos de letra diferentes (condiciones de agudeza visual), mostrados en una micropantalla. Se midio la AR d…
Energy expenditure during an ultraendurance alpine climbing race.
2009
Accurate reports of energy expenditure (EE) during prolonged mountaineering activity are sparse. The purpose of this study was to estimate EE during a winter ultraendurance climbing race and individual mountaineering activities in Mont Blanc, France.Seven days before the race, resting metabolic rate (RMR) and maximal oxygen consumption (Vo2(max)) were measured in 10 experienced male climbers (30.0 +/- 0.9 years). Three days before (reference period) and during the race, heart rate (HR) was recorded for estimation of total daily EE (TDEE), and the type and duration of all activities were collected through questionnaires. Total DEE was calculated by adding DEE during sleep (DEE sleep), sedent…
Les relacions entre el Tirant lo Blanc i l'Amadís de Gaula: primeres notes per a un estat de la qüestió
2009
Es posen al dia els estudis que comparen d’una o altra manera les dues obres cavalleresques peninsulars Amadís de Gaula i Tirant lo Blanc. Així, el balanç que s'obté és que els aspectes que han estat estudiats per la crítica són més aviat antics i generalistes i, tot i que alguns treballs han incidit en aspectes més sectorials, no ho han fet amb el grau d’aprofundiment desitjable. Concretament, entre les aproximacions de caire general es troben la de María Rosa Lida que emmarca l’Amadís i el Tirant dins del conjunt de l’herència artúrica peninsular; i el treball de Várvaro, que explica certes “singularitats” del Tirant, que el separen de la narrativa cavalleresca més convencional, a la llum…
Sobre los límites entre capítulos en el Amadís de Gaula y en las Sergas de Esplandián
2013
En estas páginas se parte del problema planteado por una anomalía observada en dos capítulos del Amadís de Gaula de Rodríguez de Montalvo, para pasar a un examen de la distribución de los capítulos en esta obra y en las Sergas de Esplandián y proponer una solución: la muy posible influencia del Tirant lo Blanc y su relación con el tópico de las aventuras en el Imperio Bizantino.
Start-up and Operation of Laboratory-Scale Thermophilic Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactors Treating Vegetable Processing Wastewaters
1997
Thermophilic anaerobic treatment of hot vegetable processing wastewaters was studied in laboratory-scale UASB reactors at 55°C. The high-strength wastewater streams, deriving from steam peeling and blanching of carrot, potato and swede were used. The reactors were inoculated with mesophilic granular sludge. Stable thermophilic methanogenesis with about 60% COD removal was reached within 28 days. During the 134 day study period the loading rate was increased up to 24 kg COD m−3 day−1. High treatment efficiency of more than 90% COD removal and concomitant methane production of 7·3 m3 CH4 m−3 day−1 were achieved. The anaerobic process performance was not affected by the changes in the wastewat…
La evolución en los tribunales: aplicaciones forenses de las filogenias moleculares
2013
En las dos últimas décadas se ha generalizado el uso de pruebas genéticas en los tribunales, permitiendo la identificación de criminales a partir de restos biológicos, la determinación de paternidades o la identificación de cadáveres. Menos conocidas son las periciales basadas en el uso de filogenias moleculares. En ellas se estudia la ancestralidad común de organismos, normalmente virus o bacterias, para establecer su asociación a una fuente de infección. Desde el caso del dentista de Florida, que infectó con el VIH a varios de sus pacientes, hasta el más próximo del anestesista Juan Maeso, que transmitió el VHC a cerca de 300 pacientes, la teoría evolutiva tiene un papel esencial en estas…
The Antioxidant Potential of White Wines Relies on the Chemistry of Sulfur-Containing Compounds: An Optimized DPPH Assay
2019
The DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay is an easy and efficient method commonly used to determine the antioxidant capacity of many food matrices and beverages. In contrast with red wines, white wines are poorer in antioxidant polyphenolics, and the more hydrophilic sulfur-containing compounds in them may contribute significantly to their antioxidant capacity. The modification of the classical DPPH method, with a methanol-buffer and the measure of EC20 (quantity of sample needed to decrease the initial DPPH concentration by 20%) has shown that sulfur-containing compounds such as cysteine (0.037 ±
