A multiphase multiobjective dynamic genome-scale model shows different redox balancing among yeast species of the saccharomyces genus in fermentation
2021
Yeasts constitute over 1,500 species with great potential for biotechnology. Still, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae dominates industrial applications, and many alternative physiological capabilities of lesser-known yeasts are not being fully exploited. While comparative genomics receives substantial attention, little is known about yeasts’ metabolic specificity in batch cultures. Here, we propose a multiphase multiobjective dynamic genome-scale model of yeast batch cultures that describes the uptake of carbon and nitrogen sources and the production of primary and secondary metabolites. The model integrates a specific metabolic reconstruction, based on the consensus Yeast8, and a kinetic …

La mujer católica y la regeneración de España: género, nación y modernidad en Fernán Caballero
2012
El autor propone una lectura de la obra de Cecilia Bohl de Faber (Fernan Caballero) en relacion con su contexto politico y literario. Su obra debe vincularse con el mito romantico de Espana, que excluia al pais de la «modernidad» europea y que cultivaba la idea de la supuesta inmoralidad de las espanolas. En respuesta a este mito, Fernan Caballero ofrecio la imagen de un pueblo andaluz franco, sencillo y amante del orden, y la de una mujer hispana virtuosa y profundamente religiosa. Su propuesta coincidia con la del liberalismo moderado, que acogio con aplauso sus obras en los anos posteriores a las revoluciones de 1848. Con el tiempo, la creciente evidencia de sus tendencias antiliberales …
Globalización, valores sociales y choque de civilizaciones
2005
The thesis of the supposed clash of the Islamic and the western civilizations is, by far, the most diffused and debated of all the subjects and proposals dealt Huntington in his book <i>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order</i>, above all after the terrorist attacks of the September 11<sup>th</sup>. The results of the World Social Survey 2000-2001 directed by Inglehart, are used in the present article to test the thesis of the cultural differences in a wide sample of Western Christian and Islamic societies. The comparative analysis undertaken allows to conclude that the cultural differences between both group societies are quite important, althou…
Selective, Highly Sensitive, and Rapid Detection of Genomic DNA by Using Gated Materials:MycoplasmaDetection
2013
The coupling of gated-indicator delivery with highly specific biochemical recognition is an innovative strategy for the detection of DNA sequences, able to compete with classical methods which need PCR amplification, in important areas such as point-of-care diagnostics or detection of specific biological contaminations with pathogens. Such comparatively simple and cheap yet highly selective and sensitive assays hold promise for use in less-developed areas of the world.
Whose culture? Monolithic cultures and subcultures in early childhood settings
2016
In Finland, day care centre directors have traditionally led only a single unit, but after the recent merging of many units, most directors simultaneously lead several, physically separate units. These organizations are called distributed organizations. This study was carried out in two distributed day care organizations. The findings are based on interviews with and observations of the staff members. When organizational mergers occur, they raise questions about culture. The findings show that part of the culture should have been shared by all members across the organization, but staff also emphasized the importance of subcultures. Two of Meyerson and Martin’s paradigms were found to exist …
Monete false. Le contraddizioni del capitalismo occidentale nella narrativa di Elvira Dones e Anilda Ibrahimi
2020
Il saggio analizza il modo in cui il modello economico occidentale diventa oggetto di narrazione in Vergine giurata di Elvira Dones e Rosso come una sposa di Anilda Ibrahimi. Questi due romanzi, pubblicati rispettivamente nel 2007 e nel 2008, reinterpretano da un punto di vista “diverso” le questioni economiche, dando voce ad una alterità che non è solo geografica, ma anche esistenziale e biologica. Lo sguardo impietoso di Dones e Ibrahimi si appunta sulle contraddizioni del capitalismo globale: il mito della ricchezza occidentale, che attraverso la retorica dei media colonizza l’immaginario migrante, si traduce narrativamente nell’ottica dello smascheramento. The essay analyzes how the Wes…

Environnements et cultures à l'âge du Bronze en Europe occidentale.
2007
Les approches paléoenvironnementales récentes permettent de suivre précisément les phases de déprises et d'emprises agricoles, depuis le début du Néolithique jusqu'à nos jours, mais l'âge du Bronze n'avait pas jusqu'alors bénéficié des mêmes études pluridisciplinaires liant dynamique de l'environnement ancien et approche culturelle. Le Bronze moyen correspond souvent à une forte déprise agricole et une détérioration climatique encadrées par des systèmes agro-pastoraux développés et les améliorations climatiques des périodes du Bronze ancien et final. A partir de ce schéma très simple (simpliste pour certains), il est apparu intéressant d'élaborer une problématique globale touchant aux reche…
