Atmospheric water vapour content retrieval from visible and thermal data in the framework of the DAISEX campaigns
2005
In this paper three methods are presented that retrieve the atmospheric water vapour from DAIS (digital airborne imaging spectrometer) data in the framework of the DAISEX (DAIS Experiment) campaigns carried out by ESA (European Space Agency). The three methodologies analysed in the paper are: (i) the ratio technique, in which the water vapour is obtained from visible and near‐infrared bands; (ii) the split‐window technique; and (iii) the split‐window covariance‐variance ratio technique, in which the water vapour content is retrieved from thermal infrared bands. A comparison between the atmospheric water vapour content extracted from the DAIS images using these techniques and that obtained f…
Adjusted Normalized Emissivity Method for surface temperature and emissivity retrieval from optical and thermal infrared remote sensing data
2003
[1] A methodology for the retrieval of surface temperatures and emissivities combining visible, near infrared and thermal infrared remote sensing data was applied to Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer (DAIS) data and validated with coincident ground measurements acquired in a multiyear experiment held in an agricultural site in Barrax, Spain. The Adjusted Normalized Emissivity Method (ANEM) is based on the use of visible and near infrared data to estimate the vegetation cover and model the maximum emissivity according to the Vegetation Cover Method. The pixel-dependent maximum emissivity is used as the initial guess of the Normalized Emissivity Method to obtain the surface temperature an…
Is our brain hardwired to produce God, or is our brain hardwired to perceive God? A systematic review on the role of the brain in mediating religious…
2009
To figure out whether the main empirical question "Is our brain hardwired to believe in and produce God, or is our brain hardwired to perceive and experience God?" is answered, this paper presents systematic critical review of the positions, arguments and controversies of each side of the neuroscientific–theological debate and puts forward an integral view where the human is seen as a psycho-somatic entity consisting of the multiple levels and dimensions of human existence (physical, biological, psychological, and spiritual reality), allowing consciousness/ mind/spirit and brain/body/matter to be seen as different sides of the same phenomenon, neither reducible to each other. The emergence …
Profesora Imanuela Bencingera (1865-1935) privātkolekcija Latvijas Universitātes Bibliotēkas krājumā
2016
The private library of Immanuel Benzinger (1865-1935), a professor of theology at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Latvia from 1921 till 1935, is one of remarkable historical collections at the disposal of the Library of the University of Latvia. It comprises literature that reflects all areas of prof. Immanuel Benzinger’s interests and had provided him a high level of competence in the field of theology, covering a broad spectrum of research materials on the Old Testament, biblical archeology and biblical geography, biblical languages and resources for studying them, etc.etc. This historical collection mostly represents books issued at the end of the19th century and the first d…

De la aljama a la corte: aproximación biográfica del médico converso valenciano Pere Pintor (<em>ca</em>. 1423-1508)
2019
This paper deals with the biography of the doctor from Valencia Pere Pintor, a member of a family of Valencian Jewish conversos. He was a doctor who, after training at the Estudi General in Lleida, worked for nearly thirty years in the city of Valencia, in the service of the municipal council, numerous noblemen, and the royal household. As a doctor, he became very successful and well known, and he amassed great wealth in parallel to his social advancement. All this was placed in jeopardy with the establishment, in 1481, of the court of the Holy Inquisition in the kingdom of Valencia, which fiercely attacked and repressed Pintor and his family. As a result of this he left Valencia and moved …
El final de la aljama de los judios de Burriana
1990
This article completes previous studies on the Jewry of Burriana. Nineteen new documents from the Archives of the Kingdom of Valencia are published here. After a short introduction about its origins, the problems and vicissitudes of this aljama during the 15th century, particularly in its last years, are analyzed in detail. Con este artículo se completan estudios anteriores sobre la judería de Burriana; se utilizan diecinueve documentos nuevos de los Archivos del reino de Valencia. Después de un breve prólogo acerca de sus orígenes, se analizan detalladamente los problemas y vicisitudes de esta aljama durante el siglo XV, especialmente en sus últimos años.
Salomó Saporta: un mercader judío ante la Inquisición valenciana
2017
La persecución inquisitorial contra los judíos no ha sido un tema abordado sistemáticamente por la historiografía, porque las investigaciones sobre la represión de los tribunales inquisitoriales en el tránsito entre los siglos XV y XVI se han centrado en el grupo judeoconverso. Y si bien es cierto que la Inquisición moderna utilizó algunos procesamientos a hebreos de manera ejemplarizante para resaltar el peligro que representaban para la comunidad cristiana, y que han sido recogidos posteriormente por los investigadores, el caso de Salomó Saporta ha sido estudiado y comentado como un caso aislado. Por esa razón quizás sea el momento de plantear la necesidad de estudiar los mecanismos coerc…
