Measurements of anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter using two Scheimpflug imaging devices
2018
Purpose: To compare the ocular anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter, as measured with two different Scheimpflug imaging devices. Methods: This transversal study included 80 right eyes from 80 subjects aged from 20 to 40 years. Their spherical equivalents ranged from -4.25 to +1.00 diopters (D). Each eye's anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter, were measured for far vision using both the Galilei G4 (double Scheimpflug camera) and the Pentacam HR (single Scheimpflug camera) systems. Results: Mean anterior chamber depths were calculated as 3.12 ± 0.23 mm and 3.19 ± 0.24 mm when measured…
Toxic microalgae and global change : why have proliferations increased along the Mediterranean coast?
2021
The ocean and the continent converge in a very narrow line that is, nonetheless, truly relevant to the health, leisure, and economy of our society. The Mediterranean coastline has undergone major changes over the last fifty years, which is evident in the alteration of its microalgae species. The proliferation of dinoflagellates is now common in microscopic organism communities in this ecosystem as a result of the modifications caused by humans and climate change. The increased frequency with which toxic microalgae blooms are detected has been key to raising awareness of this change.

THE HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER - A MODERATOR FACTOR OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
2012
The main purpose of this article is to establish the role that the managers of human resources play in the coordination of the organizational change. In this context are analyzed the managers’ report regarding the changing factors.
Roles of adenosine and cytosine methylation changes and genetic mutations in adaptation to different temperatures
2019
Abstract Epigenetic modifications have been found to be involved in evolution, but the relative contributions of genetic and epigenetic variation in adaptation are unknown. Furthermore, previous studies on the role of epigenetic changes in adaptation have nearly exclusively focused on cytosine methylation in eukaryotes. We collected phenotypic, genetic, and epigenetic data from populations of the bacterium Serratia marcescens that had undergone experimental evolution in contrasting temperatures to investigate the relationship between environment, genetics, epigenetic, and phenotypic traits. The genomic distribution of methylated adenosines (m6A) pointed to their role in regulation of gene e…

The many ways topography buffers responses to climate change
2018
During climate change, populations have two survival options - they can remain in situ and tolerate the new climatic conditions ('stay'), or they can migrate to track their climatic niches elsewhere ('go'). Staying requires broad climatic tolerances, niche shifts due to changing biotic interactions, acclimation through plasticity, or rapid genetic adaptation. Going, in contrast, requires good dispersal and colonization capacities. However, both the magnitude of climate change experienced locally and the capacities required for staying or going in response to climate change are not constant across landscapes, but affected by local microclimatic variation associated with topographic complexit…
Changes in anterior chamber eye during accommodation as assessed using a Dual Scheimpflug system
2018
Purpose: To study the changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle (ACA), and pupil diameter (PD) during accommodation. Methods: Eighty eyes of 80 subjects, aged 22 to 40 years, were included. The rotating Dual Scheimpflug and a Placido disc system (Galilei G4, Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG, Switzerland) was used to measure the changes in ACD, ACA, and PD during accommodation. ACD measurement was taken for the central zone and for 4 more positions, each in different orientation (nasal, superior, temporal and inferior), 4 mm away from the centre. ACA was measured for the whole eye as well for the nasal, superior, temporal, and inferior quadrants. These metrics were obtained…
