Cohort-Dependent Sex Ratio Biases in the American Crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus)of the Tempisque Basin
2015
A male-biased sex ratio of 3:1 has been reported for a population of American crocodiles (Crocodylus acutus) in the Tempisque River Basin, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. If confirmed, this would constitute one of the largest male-biased sex ratios reported for any population of a member of the genus Crocodylus. Here, we examine the aforementioned population of C. acutus and report on sex ratios of hatchling, juvenile, and adult age classes within a sample of 474 crocodiles captured in the Tempisque Basin between May 2012 and June 2014. Hatchling sex ratio is exceptionally male biased (3.5:1), an imbalance that is maintained in juveniles but is reduced in adults (1.5:1). Mark–recapture data documen…
Three-dimensional kernel-based coda attenuation imaging of caldera structures controlling the 1982-84 Campi Flegrei unrest
2019
Abstract Coda-wave attenuation imaging has risen as a state-of-the-art technique to depict volcanic structures using their dispersion effects. The 1982–84 seismic and deformation unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) is a unique example of non-eruptive volcanic activity in a structured caldera. Here, we propose the first application of 3D coda-attenuation kernels to image caldera structures at multiple frequencies during unrest. Using sensitivity kernels is necessary to assess the effective resolution of coda imaging in highly heterogeneous volcanoes. The technique relies on the solution of Paasschens' equations in the framework of radiative transfer theory. The results map coda attenuati…
A new autumn-flowering species of Allium (Alliaceae) from Croatia
2009
Here we describe Allium telmatum Bogdanovic, Brullo, Giusso & Salmeri, a new species of Allium sect. Codonoprasum from North Dalmatia (Croatia). Its chromosome number (2n = 32), karyotype, leaf anatomy, ecology and taxonomical relationships are examined. Several features, such as phenology (flowering in autumn), occurrence in coastal salt marshes, tetraploid chromosome number, and morphology, indicate that it is most closely related to the Tyrrhenian species Allium savii. On the basis of our herbarium survey, we present here a distribution map of the autumn-flowering species of Allium sect. Codonoprasum in the Mediterranean area.
Asociaciones de Ostrácodos del Mioceno Temprano—Medio de Loma Negra (Bardenas Reales de Navarra, Cuenca del Ebro): Evolución Paleoambiental de un Med…

LOWER-MIDDLE MIOCENE OSTRACOD ASSEMBLAGES OF LOMA NEGRA (BARDENAS REALES DE NAVARRA, EBRO BASIN): PALAEOENVIRONMENTAL EVOLUTION OF A LACUSTRINE SYSTEM. The palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Loma Negra section (Bardenas Reales de Navarra, Ebro Basin) during the lower-middle Miocene, is studied for the first time. The paleoen- vironmental interpretation is based on the recovered ostracod assemblages and the sedimentology. The lower part of this section is composed by red, yellow and grey mudstones, and with Paralimnocythere sp. as the most abundant ostracod taxon. The lithological features and the fau- nistic assemblage allows the interpretation of a paleoenvironment with the development o…
Teodosio II e la "conpendiosa divalium constitutionum scientia"
2015
The author counters the idea that Theodosius II's codification expressed a conception of self-sufficiency of imperial legislation and argues that, rather, the emperor recognised the value of the writings of classical jurisprudence as another component of the overall legal order. Nov. Th. 1 does not express a derogatory attitude towards the ancient jurists.The criticism of the 'immense copia librorum' and the 'cloud of volumina' as the causes of the poor results of the studium iuris are, yes, addressed to the texts of the ancient jurists, but not as expressions of scientific elaboration, but as dispersive and inadequate sources of knowledge of the imperial constitutions. The emperor remedied…
Monitorización e individualización posológica de glucocerebrosidasa en pacientes con enfermedad de Gaucher Tipo I
2018
La enfermedad de Gaucher tipo I (EG1) es una enfermedad de depósito lisosomal causada por una deficiencia de la enzima glucocerebrosidasa, cuyo tratamiento consiste en la reposición mediante la administración exógena de la enzima deficiente, denominada terapia enzimática sustitutiva(TES). Actualmente, existe una gran controversia y una elevada variabilidad en la dosificación de la TES y en los regímenes utilizados en la práctica clínica debido a la amplia variabilidad observada en la respuesta a la TES; además las modificaciones de dosis para objetivar respuesta al tratamiento se alargan entre 12-24 meses, en una terapia con un elevado impacto económico al sistema nacional de salud. Sin emb…

CUDA-BLASTP: Accelerating BLASTP on CUDA-enabled graphics hardware
2011
Scanning protein sequence database is an often repeated task in computational biology and bioinformatics. However, scanning large protein databases, such as GenBank, with popular tools such as BLASTP requires long runtimes on sequential architectures. Due to the continuing rapid growth of sequence databases, there is a high demand to accelerate this task. In this paper, we demonstrate how GPUs, powered by the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), can be used as an efficient computational platform to accelerate the BLASTP algorithm. In order to exploit the GPU's capabilities for accelerating BLASTP, we have used a compressed deterministic finite state automaton for hit detection as wel…
Influenze tra processo ed esiti: alleanza, coesione e cambiamento in un gruppo terapeutico a lungo termine
2012
Questo lavoro esplora, in un gruppo terapeutico con pazienti gravi, due tra le variabili di processo più indagate nelle terapie di gruppo, l’alleanza terapeutica e la coesione, analizzandone le associazioni con gli esiti del trattamento in termini di sintomi e difese. E’ stato esaminato un gruppo a lungo termine, semi-aperto, a cadenza settimanale. L’osservazione si è svolta per un periodo di 18 mesi, per un totale di 50 sedute. Sono stati monitorati 11 soggetti che riportavano diverse diagnosi nell’Asse I e II del DSM IV. TR Gli strumenti di esito usati sono stati l’SCL-90: Symptom Check List; l’ OQ-45: Outcome Question-naire 45.2; e il DSQ: Defense Style Questionnaire. Mentre per rilevare…
Drogas y salud familiar
2000
Las familias son el grupo social sobre quien recaen más directamente las consecuencias negativas de las adicciones de sus miembros. Estas consecuencias no sólo abarcan as¬pectos económicos y sociales, sino que se extienden a los ámbitos de la salud psíquica y física de cada uno de los miembros no drogadictos.En nuestro trabajo, hemos pretendido describir las variaciones en conductas, senti¬mientos, sensaciones, imaginaciones, cogniciones, relaciones interpersonales y salud (si¬guiendo el modelo BASIC.ID de A.A. Lazarus) que han experimentado los padres y madres de heroinómanos a partir del conocimiento de la adicción de sus hijos. Hemos pasado una entrevista semiestructurada, elaborada por …
