Permutations of zero-sumsets in a finite vector space
2020
Abstract In this paper, we consider a finite-dimensional vector space 𝒫 {{\mathcal{P}}} over the Galois field GF ( p ) {\operatorname{GF}(p)} , with p being an odd prime, and the family ℬ k x {{\mathcal{B}}_{k}^{x}} of all k-sets of elements of 𝒫 {\mathcal{P}} summing up to a given element x. The main result of the paper is the characterization, for x = 0 {x=0} , of the permutations of 𝒫 {\mathcal{P}} inducing permutations of ℬ k 0 {{\mathcal{B}}_{k}^{0}} as the invertible linear mappings of the vector space 𝒫 {\mathcal{P}} if p does not divide k, and as the invertible affinities of the affine space 𝒫 {\mathcal{P}} if p divides k. The same question is answered also in the case where …
I Symposium of Elite Performance in Combat Sports
2017
This report presents a summary of the I Symposium of Elite Performance in Combat Sports held in Madrid, May 27, 2017. The symposium, organized by the Faculty of Sport Sciences-INEF of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, aimed to bring science closer to practice. A panel of highly successful athletes involved in karate, fencing, and taekwondo shared their experiences. The speakers presented crucial topics for an optimal preparation and high level performance such as strength training, sport psychology, brain maturation, sports nutrition, competition planning, sport injuries, and perceptual-decision making training.
Trans -Cyclooctene-Functionalized PeptoBrushes with Improved Reaction Kinetics of the Tetrazine Ligation for Pretargeted Nuclear Imaging
2020
Tumor targeting using agents with slow pharmacokinetics represents a major challenge in nuclear imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy as they most often result in low imaging contrast and high radiation dose to healthy tissue. To address this challenge, we developed a polymer-based targeting agent that can be used for pretargeted imaging and thus separates tumor accumulation from the imaging step in time. The developed targeting agent is based on polypeptide-graft-polypeptoid polymers (PeptoBrushes) functionalized with trans-cyclooctene (TCO). The complementary In-111-labeled imaging agent is a 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivative, which can react with aforementioned TCO-modified PeptoBrushes i…
High-affinity and selective detection of pyrophosphate in water by a resorcinarene salt receptor
2017
N-Alkyl ammonium resorcinarenes selectively bind pyrophosphate in pure water with an exceptionally high binding constant of up to 1.60 × 107 M–1, three orders of magnitude higher than ATP.
Chiens chez Modiano: análisis interdisciplinar de la representación animal en su obra
2017
Más que por un animalismo strictu sensu, la obra de Patrick Modiano se caracteriza por un profundo animalismo latente, en consonancia con una escritura minimalista marcada por la atenuación y por la poética de la ambigüedad. La investigación desvela cómo los cuentos de Marcel Aymé aportan a su imaginario de lector infantil un mundo en el que los animales viven y dialogan con una pareja de hermanas con las que el pequeño Modiano se identifica junto a Rudy, su hermano pequeño. Los accidentes que sufrieron dos perros con los que Modiano tuvo relación de niño le hicieron percibir una experiencia de la muerte, que precedió al trauma de la temprana desaparición de Rudy. A la influencia de Aymé se…
Evaluating fundamental life-history traits for Tobacco etch potyvirus
2013
Los virus de ARN son probablemente algunos de los parásitos más extendidos que se pueden encontrar en todas las formas de vida. Estos agentes infecciosos parecen particularmente propensos a causar enfermedades emergentes en plantas, seres humanos y otros animales. Sus habilidades para escapar al sistema inmune, evadir estrategias antivirales o para infectar a nuevas especies son una consecuencia directa de su enorme capacidad para evolucionar rápidamente. Comprender los procesos básicos del cambio evolutivo puede ser unos de los principales pasos necesarios en el diseño de nuevas estrategias de intervención. Desde una perspectiva evolutiva, una de las principales características de los viru…
Data from: Genomics of speciation and introgression in Princess cichlid fishes from Lake Tanganyika
2016
How variation in the genome translates into biological diversity and new species originate has endured as the mystery of mysteries in evolutionary biology. African cichlid fishes are prime model systems to address speciation-related questions for their remarkable taxonomic and phenotypic diversity, and the possible role of gene flow in this process. Here, we capitalize on genome sequencing and phylogenomic analyses to address the relative impacts of incomplete lineage sorting, introgression and hybrid speciation in the Neolamprologus savoryi-complex (the ‘Princess cichlids’) from Lake Tanganyika. We present a time-calibrated species tree based on whole-genome sequences and provide strong ev…
Catalogue of the Diptera (Insecta) of Morocco— an annotated checklist, with distributions and a bibliography
2022
The faunistic knowledge of the Diptera of Morocco recorded from 1787 to 2021 is summarized and updated in this first catalogue of Moroccan Diptera species. A total of 3057 species, classified into 948 genera and 93 families (21 Nematocera and 72 Brachycera), are listed. Taxa (superfamily, family, genus and species) have been updated according to current interpretations, based on reviews in the literature, the expertise of authors and contributors, and recently conducted fieldwork. Data to compile this catalogue were primarily gathered from the literature. In total, 1225 references were consulted and some information was also obtained from online databases. Each family was reviewed and the c…
Acute hormonal and muscular responses and recovery : chronic adaptations to single session combined strength and endurance training with regard to or…
2012
Combining both strength (S) and endurance (E) exercise loadings into a single training session can be considered to be of interest e.g. for time management purposes. However, the first loading in a combined session tends to produce notable acute fatigue responses, which can lead to the second loading being performed in a compromised state. Research on fatigue and recovery from a combined session with different loading orders is currently scarce, with even less attention given to the acute responses. Thus, this study investigated the long-term adaptations in the acute responses of a combined strength and endurance loading and whether or not there is an order effect. A total of 29 male subjec…
Towards a theory of ex-combatant reintegration
2013
This paper encourages the development of a theoretical framework for the study of the reintegration of ex-combatants after war. It takes the first steps towards this by proposing a new definition of reintegration, where the processes ex-combatants experience, rather than the programmatic support offered by international and national agencies, take centre stage. The article links the study of reintegration to two broader disciplines; political economy and sociology, and in particular to the two disciplines’ account of power and group belonging. It argues that a political economy approach is particularly useful for making sense of the context in which reintegration processes unfold. The artic…
