Voila, a New Drosophila Courtship Variant that Affects the Nervous System: Behavioral, Neural, and Genetic Characterization
1998
InDrosophila melanogaster, a specificPGAL4transposon induces theVoila1genetic variant and produces multiple phenotypes. HomozygousVoila1/1flies rarely reach adulthood, whereas heterozygousVoila1/+adult males show strong bisexual behavior. Males with a single copy ofVoila1driving the feminizing transgeneUAS-transformershow very reduced sexual activity but no overall effect on their behavior.Voila1is specifically expressed in the nervous system. In the CNS, it is expressed mainly in the mushroom bodies and, to a lesser extent, in the antennal lobes. In the peripheral nervous system, GAL4 expression is almost entirely restricted to the gustatory sensilla. Using chromosomal deficiencies, the be…
Música [religiosa] moderna en Corea del Norte / Modern North Korean [Religious] Music
2017
Music is a field where North Korea has been for decades engaging in consistent though not extensive international exchanges. Music is there a major national art form, on which a considerable amount of national resourcesis devoted, and the quality of musical education is high. Its practical uses are almost solely devoted to maintaining the legitimacy of the state and its leading dynasty up to a level where the distinction between nationalism and religion visibly evaporates. The musical establishment is hierarchically organized. At the top are court orchestras, such as the former Unhasu Orchestra, or the currently favoured Moranbong Band, whose style and repertoire is closely controlled by th…
Implication of an odorant-binding protein in precopulatory behaviour and interaction with the bacterial microbiota
2023
Chemoreception allows animals to detect nutritive food and avoid toxic compounds. Volatile and non-volatile chemical compounds, which are detected by olfactory and gustatory sensory organs, can trigger feeding and reproductive behaviours in animals such as Drosophila melanogaster. Inside chemosensory organs, perireceptor proteins like odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) serve to transport odorant and tastant molecule to dedicated receptors. OBPs are not only involved in chemoreception but also in several other functions. A recent study revealed an interaction between insect microbiota and OBP expression while another one showed that microbes can promote nutrient harvesting on food. In our proje…
'SMART laser', Development of laser sources integrating an optimized functioning via a process of learning
2022
Ost commercially available mode-blocking lasers provide a unique pulse regime to the user, driven only by a simple switch. To solve certain problems, it would be advantageous to increase the possibilities of pulse adjustment in many areas of application, from micro-machining to wavelength conversion. One way to increase the degrees of freedom of a laser cavity is to incorporate into it a saturable absorbant with adjustable parameters, as with non-linear polarization evolution devices (NPEs). The absence of an analytical relationship between the adjustable cavity parameters and the characteristics of a generated pulse can be circumvented by the use of scalable algorithms, well suited to mult…
Argumentos retóricos sobre Interrupción Voluntaria del Embarazo en Colombia. Análisis jurisprudencial desde la teoría de la argumentación jurídica de…
2011
RESUMENEl presente trabajo aborda los conceptos planteados por Chaïm Perelman en su teoría de la argumentación, con el fin de lograr una comprensión del razonamiento en las decisiones judiciales tomadas por la Corte Constitucional de Colombia, en relación a tres casos sobre interrupción voluntaria del embarazo (IVE). En primer lugar, se aborda la teoría de la “Nueva Retórica” de Chaïm Perelman, y en especial su aplicación en el campo del Derecho. A continuación se hace un breve repaso de las premisas de la argumentación y las técnicas argumentativas manteniendo un enfoque de carácter jurídico. Para finalizar, se analiza la motivación de las sentencias de la Corte Constitucional colombiana …
The Teaching of Pragmatics in L2
2019
Abstract The teaching of pragmatics in L2 would be useless, if we consider pragmatics such as the study of the language in use, because this is what is done in the teaching of L2. In reality, apart from the routines, pragmatics is the branch of linguistics that is learned later, especially if we think of facts such as courtesy strategies, which require a rather advanced level of language. Despite numerous studies on the acquisition/learning of languages and on pragmatics, the two factors were not very often studied together. The learning of grammar and pragmatics are not synchronous. Even in a strictly communicative model, apart from greetings, “thanks” and "please", we tend to learn the mo…
La Corte costituzionale apre al divieto di retroattività del novum penitenziario in malam partem.
2020
With a courageous judgment, the Constitutional Court extends the application scope of art. 25, par. 2, Cost. in the criminal enforcement sector. Censoring the living law, the Court states the prohibition of the retroactivity of the measures more afflictive introduced by law no. 3 of 2019 to convicts who committed the fact before its entry into force. The Author, after dwelling on the new paradigm of "European legality", retraces the salient passages of the decision, from which it draws the innovative message of the Judge of the laws.
La legittimità costituzionale dei reati di favoreggiamento e reclutamento della prostituzione: note a margine di Corte cost. 141/19
2020
The Italian Constitutional Court (141/2019) rejected the issue on the constitutional legitimacy of the crimes of "recruitment" and "aiding and abetting" prostitution, as proposed by the Court of Appeal of Bari. Nevertheless, the causal links between the behavior of facilitating prostitution and the dangers to freedom, security and dignity of the prostitutes are questionable.

Similaritons in optical fiber Raman amplifiers
2005
This thesis presents the generation of optical similaritons in a normally dispersive Raman amplifier at telecom wavelengths. The pulses experimentally characterized by FROG technique exhibit a parabolic intensity profile with a linear chirp, in good agreement with results of numerical simulations.Several theoretical features of the similaritons have been experimentally studied. The dynamics of two similaritons with same or different central wavelengths is also investigated: similaritons are robust against collisions, whereas the interaction of similaritons leads to the generation of high-repetition rate dark soliton train.The similariton properties have been finally applied into three field…
