Aproximación al universo dramático de Matei Visniec
2013
La palabra progresa en boca de mi madre sonaba tremendamente falsa (título original: Le mot progrès dans la bouche de ma mère sonnait terriblement faux¸ Lansman Éditeur, 2007) es una obra de teatro del escritor de expresión literaria francesa y rumana Matei Visniec. En esta obra se cuentan las vicisitudes por las que pasa una pareja de refugiados al regresar a su país de origen, devastado por una guerra civil reciente, para encontrar el cuerpo de su hijo fallecido en la contienda. Aunque no hay referencias precisas, la historia alude indirectamente a las guerras de los Balcanes que supusieran la desintegración de la antigua Yugoslavia. La memoria histórica, la reconciliación nacional, el pa…
Los canecillos de la Capilla del Cementerio de San Juan del Hospital de Valencia
2020
In the medieval cemetery of the Historic Site of San Juan del Hospital of Valencia is housed a small funeral chapel founded in the late thirteenth century by the knight Arnau de Romaní. Along its cornice there are a series of heads of animals and humans that are one of the few sculptural vestiges inserted into the Romanesque iconographic tradition that are preserved in the city. So far they have not aroused the interest of specialists and no one has dedicated a detailed study to these curious and interesting images located in the marginal spaces of such a beautiful building. This article aims to complete this gap addressing the study of the corbels of the small temple, projecting a thematic…
Short-period volcanic gas precursors to phreatic eruptions: Insights from Poás Volcano, Costa Rica
2016
Texto completo del documento Volcanic eruptions involving interaction with water are amongst the most violent and unpredictable geologic phenomena on Earth. Phreatic eruptions are exceptionally difficult to forecast by traditional geophysical techniques. Here we report on short-term precursory variations in gas emissions related to phreatic blasts at Poás volcano, Costa Rica, as measured with an in situ multiple gas analyzer that was deployed at the edge of the erupting lake. Gas emitted from this hyper-acid crater lake approaches magmatic values of SO2/CO21–6 days prior to eruption. The SO2flux derived from magmatic degassing through the lake is measureable by differential optical absorpti…
Magmatic gas percolation through the old lava dome of El Misti volcano
2017
International audience; The proximity of the major city of Arequipa to El Misti has focused attention on the hazards posed by the active volcano. Since its last major eruption in the fifteenth century, El Misti has experienced a series of modest phreatic eruptions and fluctuating fumarolic activity. Here, we present the first measurements of the compositions of gas emitted from the lava dome in the summit crater. The gas composition is found to be fairly dry with a H2O/SO2 molar ratio of 32 ± 3, a CO2/SO2 molar ratio of 2.7 ± 0.2, a H2S/SO2 molar ratio of 0.23 ± 0.02 and a H2/SO2 molar ratio of 0.012 ± 0.002. This magmatic gas signature with minimal evidence of hydrothermal or wall rock int…
Surface properties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lees during sparkling wine ageing and their effect on flocculation
2009
Cell surface properties were determined for the first time for lees of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and they proved to be significantly dependent on the time of sparkling wine ageing on lees. Cell surface hydrophobicity decreased from approximately 44% to 11% of affinity to hexadecane. Electron acceptor capacity (calculated as % affinity to ethyl acetate-% affinity to decane) increased from approximately -27% to 10 % and zeta potential from approximately -4 to 6mV. Mannoproteins are released from the external cell wall layer during the autolytic process, as confirmed by TOF-SIMS analysis of the cell wall chemical composition. This could explain the modifications of lees cell surface properties…
Francisco Pizarro de Rosa Arciniega-Un intento de legitimación de la voz de una historiadora
2022
A reading of the historical novel Francisco Pizarro, written by the Peruvian Rosa Arciniega in 1936, is proposed. Through the analysis of the work, we will reflect on the relationship of the writer with the national historiography and with the ideal of a woman who dominated Latin American political and cultural discourse in the first half of the 20th century. From this, we seek to identify the place that the author constructs for herself within the intellectual field.
Phase separation of an asymmetric binary fluid mixture confined in a nanoscopic slit pore: Molecular-dynamics simulations
2008
As a generic model system of an asymmetric binary fluid mixture, hexadecane dissolved in carbon dioxide is considered, using a coarse-grained bead-spring model for the short polymer, and a simple spherical particle with Lennard-Jones interactions for the carbon dioxide molecules. In previous work, it has been shown that this model reproduces the real phase diagram reasonable well, and also the initial stages of spinodal decomposition in the bulk following a sudden expansion of the system could be studied. Using the parallelized simulation package ESPResSo on a multiprocessor supercomputer, phase separation of thin fluid films confined between parallel walls that are repulsive for both types…
