Assessing Performance on an Evaluated Speaking Task
2018
Abstract. Coping with social stress involves cognitive perceptions and the activation of several physiological mechanisms. Our main purpose was to examine how psychological factors such as cognitive appraisal, and particularly self-efficacy, may affect psychophysiological reactivity to social stress and young people’s performance on an evaluated speaking task. Thirty-five university students (18 men and 17 women) were exposed to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) and a control condition in a counterbalanced order. Self-efficacy, several dimensions of trait anxiety related to social evaluation, and changes in state anxiety were assessed. Additionally, heart rate and heart rate variability …
Caracterización conductual y neuroinmune de la resiliencia al estrés social: Efectos reforzantes de la cocaína
2020
Numerosos estudios preclínicos han demostrado que el estrés social incrementa la vulnerabilidad a los efectos reforzantes de la cocaína. Sin embargo, los resultados obtenidos no son homogéneos, observándose siempre una subpoblación que no muestra dicho incremento. Utilizando el modelo de derrota social (DS) repetida en ratones, en este trabajo hemos querido caracterizar conductualmente a los ratones resilientes al incremento de los efectos reforzantes de la cocaína inducido por el estrés social. Utilizamos ratones adultos macho de la cepa C57/BL6 a los que sometimos al protocolo de DS repetida y tres semanas más tarde, realizamos el Condicionamiento de Preferencia de Lugar (CPL) inducido po…
Solitary Necrotic Nodule of the Liver: Different Pathological Findings Express a Different Histogenesis
2008
Solitary necrotic nodule of the liver is a rare benign lesion the histogenesis of which is still debated. We here report the case of a patient who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones and who was accidentally found to have a solitary necrotic nodule of 2 cm in the fifth segment of the liver. On the basis of the histological findings, the hypothesis that different pathogenetic mechanisms could be involved in the histogenesis of this lesion is discussed.
Adaptation and Initial Validation of the BRCS in an Elderly Spanish Sample
2012
Resilience is understood as a dynamic process encompassing positive adaptation within the context of adversity. This study examined the validity of the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), a 4-item measure designed to capture tendencies to cope with stress in a highly adaptive manner, in an elderly Spanish population. A total of 133 elderly people from an association of retired persons in Valencia (Spain) provided the responses for the validation study. The factorial validity of the scale was tested using confirmatory factor analysis, with a single dimension of resilience with adequate fit indexes emerging from this analysis. The BRCS has adequate internal consistency both at the scale and…
A hybrid method for calorimetry with subnanoliter samples using Schottky junctions
2007
A μm-scale calorimeter realized by using Schottky junctions as a thermometer is presented. Combined with a hybrid experimental method, it enables simultaneous time-resolved measurements of variations in both the energy and the heat capacity of subnanoliter samples.
High resolution molecular spectroscopy of the sulfur-containing XY2 type molecules.
2010
In this thesis, we analyzed the high resolution absorption molecular spectra of H2S, D2S, HDS and SO2 registered for the first time or with better experimental characteristics as compared with those registered before. For the first time in the practice of rotation-vibrational spectroscopy in the frame of the devel- oped method of "global ftting" the analysis of 22 bands (as a whole more than 9700 rotation- vibrational lines) of D2S molecule is realized. This method of "global fitting" is developed with regard to molecules of Cs symmetry; on this basis a simultaneous analysis of all the known up to the present rotation-vibrational spectra of HDS molecule is realized. The SPGF method is appli…
Rovibrational spectroscopy of ethylene : Stark effect : Application to ethylene in zeolites
2010
The objective of this report is to present a study as complete as possible of the Stark effect in the asymmetric top molecules of X2Y4 type possessing the D2h symmetry group and to apply it to the problem of the spectroscopy of the ethylene molecule trapped in a zeolite. For the first time, a tensorial formalism adapted to the study of the Stark effect for the O(3) D2h group chain was developed. In parallel, a computer package was worked out as a new generation of software called D2hTDS-ST using a simpler basis, allowing an economy in the calculation time. On the basis of the theoretical and computing tools as well as from the experimental spectra, recorded in the laboratory, we made a firs…
"Expanded" local mode approach and isotopic effect in polyatomic molecules
2014
In this thesis, on the base of the "expanded", local mode approach and general isotopic substitution theory we obtain sets of simple analytical relations between spectroscopic parameters (harmonic frequencies, anharmonic coefficients, ro-vibrational parameters, different kinds of Fermi and Coriolis-type interaction parameters) of the CH2D2, CH3D and CHD3 molecules. All of them are expressed as simple functions of spectroscopic parameters of the mother CH4 molecule. Test calculations with the isotopic relations show that even without including prior informations about the isotopic species, numerical results of calculations are in a good agreement both with experimental data and results of ab…
STUDY OF THE INTERNAL DYNAMICS OF NON PLANAR PYRAMIDAL MOLECULES IN VIBRATIONALY VERY EXCITED STATES.
2007
From the U (p+1) formalism, we built a Hamiltonian adapted to the stretching modes of nonplanar XY3 molecules having the C3v group of geometrical invariance. This Hamiltonian is then coupled with two possible Hamiltonians describing the bending modes of these molecular system: a) based on the U (p+1) approach, a bending Hamiltonian is developed and the interaction between the bending and the stretching modes is taking into account through adapted 2:1 resonance coupling operator defined as a Us(4) x Ub(4) enveloping algebra operator ; b) based on the standard normal modes formalism, a bending modes Hamiltonian is expanded and the 2:1 interaction is taken into account as a tensorial product o…
ROVIBRATIONAL AND STARK SPECTROSCOPY OF THE X2Y4MOLECULES. APPLICATION TO ETHYLENE
2005
This thesis is devoted to the spectroscopy of ethylene in the aim of studying the molecule trapped in zeolites. The first part deals with the tensorial model adapted to the symmetry of the isolated molecule: formalism, Hamiltonian and transition moments. To take the strong electric fields existing into zeolites into account, an extension of the model to the Stark effect is proposed in the second part. The third part describes the programs of the D2hTDS software which have been built for the calculation and analysis of X2Y4-type molecule spectra. The fourth part presents applications to the calculation and analysis of zero-field and Stark ethylene spectra. In particular, the model has been t…
