Exposer l’âge du Bronze
2021
Exhibitions about the Bronze Age in France are quire a recent affair and only eighteen temporary exhibitions, most with their own catalogue, have been curated since 1986. This conference has given us the opportunity to overviev, the exhibitions that have given eirher a regional perspective of the Bronze Age or have focused on a particular theme. ln the last few years, several exhibitions have highlighred non-funerary metal deposits. The museography and public ourreach have varied for each exhibition, but ail have dealt with the difficult question of recontextualisation and how we understand and interpret archaeological data. This is particularly relevant, as the public still knows lirrle o…
Multi-channel search for squarks and gluinos in root s=7 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
2013
A search for supersymmetric particles in final states with zero, one, and two leptons, with and without jets identified as originating from b-quarks, in 4.7 fb[superscript −1] of √s = 7 TeV pp collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded by the ATLAS detector is presented. The search uses a set of variables carrying information on the event kinematics transverse and parallel to the beam line that are sensitive to several topologies expected in supersymmetry. Mutually exclusive final states are defined, allowing a combination of all channels to increase the search sensitivity. No deviation from the Standard Model expectation is observed. Upper limits at 95 % confidence level…
A brown dwarf orbiting an M-dwarf:MOA 2009-BLG-411L
2012
Context. Caustic crossing is the clearest signature of binary lenses in microlensing. In the present context, this signature is diluted by the large source star but a detailed analysis has allowed the companion signal to be extracted.Aims. MOA 2009-BLG-411 was detected on August 5, 2009 by the MOA-Collaboration. Alerted as a high-magnification event, it was sensitive to planets. Suspected anomalies in the light curve were not confirmed by a real-time model, but further analysis revealed small deviations from a single lens extended source fit.Methods. Thanks to observations by all the collaborations, this event was well monitored. We first decided to characterize the source star properties b…
Cancer screening and health system resilience: Keys to protecting and bolstering preventive services during a financial crisis
2012
The aim of this paper is to elucidate the rationale for sustaining and expanding cost-effective, population-based screening services for breast, cervical and colorectal cancers in the context of the current financial crisis. Our objective is not only to promote optimal delivery of high-quality secondary cancer prevention services, but also to underline the importance of strengthening comprehensive cancer control, and with it, health system response to the complex care challenges posed by all chronic diseases. We focus primarily on issues surrounding planning, organisation, implementation and resources, arguing that given the growing cancer burden, policymakers have ample justification for e…
Barrier effects on the spatial distribution of Xylella fastidiosa in Alicante, Spain
2021
AbstractSpatial models often assume isotropy and stationarity, implying that spatial dependence is direction invariant and uniform throughout the study area. However, these assumptions are violated when dispersal barriers are present in the form of geographical features or disease control interventions. Despite this, the issue of non-stationarity has been little explored in the context of plant health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different barriers in the distribution of the quarantine plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa in the demarcated area in Alicante, Spain. Occurrence data from the official surveys in 2018 were analyzed with four spatial Baye…
UNSUSTAINABLE LIVING. Recovery and reintegration of degraded environments
2012
Building abusiveness contributed to the progressive worsening of urban conditions and environmental crisis, generating a soil uncontrolled consumption, territory’s exploiting, bigger pollution indexes, besides the absence of building quality, levelling of languages and life models, alteration of recognising and territory belonging values, urban and extra urban landscape levelling. Building abusiveness is clearly a territorial emergency which needs technical owning to formulate sudden and effective intervention strategies. The fight against building abusiveness is still today a challenge for both environment and territory. The present volume investigates the issue of environmental decay dete…
Transient BK outward current enhances motoneurone firing rates duringDrosophilalarval locomotion
2015
Key points We combine in situ electrophysiology with genetic manipulation in Drosophila larvae aiming to investigate the role of fast calcium-activated potassium currents for motoneurone firing patterns during locomotion. We first demonstrate that slowpoke channels underlie fast calcium-activated potassium currents in these motoneurones. By conducting recordings in semi-intact animals that produce crawling-like movements, we show that slowpoke channels are required specifically in motoneurones for maximum firing rates during locomotion. Such enhancement of maximum firing rates occurs because slowpoke channels prevent depolarization block by limiting the amplitude of motoneurone depolarizati…
A Study into the Integration of ICT into a Business Management Course: Challenges and Achievements
2012
Nowadays, the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) play an increasingly important role in education. Indeed, ICT are considered as very useful pedagogic tools, and multimedia resources are constantly being created, updated and shared by university members worldwide. This paper deals with a case of study exploring the way in which the integration of ICT impacts learning in the context of a business management course at the Universitat de València (UV), in Spain. The results of the study point out the need for academic staff and students to acquire the appropriate knowledge and to develop the skills required for an efficient and effective use of ICT in higher education.

Relationship between score and coaches’ verbal behavior
2013
Calpe V, Guzman J, Grijalbo C. Relationship between score and coaches’ verbal behaviour. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 8, No. Proc3, pp. S728-S737, 2013. The way the coach act the most during the development of the game is meanwhile verbal behaviour directed to their players (Moreno et al., 2000), being it influenced by his own cognitions, motivations, and emotions, together with players behaviours and playing situation (Borrie, 1996; Smoll & Smith, 1989). The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between a situational variable, the score during the game, and verbal behaviour of handball coaches in competitive situation. To do this, five coaches were analysed in five games. Two vari…
Functionally Altered GPI-Anchor Negative Treg Following Alemtuzumab-Based T-Cell Depletion Are Associated with Acute Gvhd.
2012
Abstract Abstract 3059 Introduction: The monoclonal anti-CD52antibody Alemtuzumab is frequently used for T-cell depletion (TCD) in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD). We previously demonstrated the long term persistence of functionally impaired glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor negative effector T-cells in patients receiving high dose (100mg) Alemtuzumab in combination with a dose reduced conditioning regimen (Fludarabin + Melpahlan) (Meyer, Wagner et al. BMT 2010). Despite of Alemtuzumab-mediated TCD, half of our patients developed acute GVHD. Since regulatory T cells (Treg) play a major role for cont…
