Proposed Protocol for Field Testing of Endurance Fitness of Young Labrador Retrievers
2023
The number of dogs and, with it, dog sports are growing in popularity, and the training of dogs begins at an early age. Although fitness testing is an imperative part of purposeful training and sports, to our knowledge, no objective field tests are available for measuring young dogs’ endurance fitness. The aim of this study is to describe a simple, easy-to-repeat, and inexpensive way to test training intervention effects on endurance fitness in young Labrador Retrievers. Healthy client-owned 16-week-old Labrador Retrievers will be recruited and divided into test and control groups. The test group will have an eight-week training program followed by a four-week detraining period, while the c…

Localisation et endogénéité des structures d'échanges
2003
We develop a model that investigates how strategically interacting firms share a given set of spatially separated markets. We show that, for intermediate values of transport costs, the spatial distribution of firms determines the structure of interregional trade, which in return influences this distribution. Our results highlight the strong and circular link between the spatial distribution of economic activities and the endogenous structure of trade. Further, they suggest that agglomeration of firms is not necessarily incompatible with high values of transport costs. (FRE)
Guidance on allergenicity assessment of genetically modified plants
2017
Abstract This document provides supplementary guidance on specific topics for the allergenicity risk assessment of genetically modified plants. In particular, it supplements general recommendations outlined in previous EFSA GMO Panel guidelines and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 503/2013. The topics addressed are non‐IgE‐mediated adverse immune reactions to foods, in vitro protein digestibility tests and endogenous allergenicity. New scientific and regulatory developments regarding these three topics are described in this document. Considerations on the practical implementation of those developments in the risk assessment of genetically modified plants are discussed and recommended, where …
Portafolio digital: un nuevo formato de aprendizaje
2014
El presente documento recoge un estudio exploratorio sobre el uso del E-portafolio como herramienta de innovacion en la docencia universitaria de una asignatura. La investigacion se basa en un estudio de naturaleza descriptiva a traves de la tecnica de la encuesta (cuestionario). Los resultados muestran que se trata de una herramienta de aprendizaje valorada positivamente y que plantean una serie de aspectos positivos valorados altamente como la accesibilidad al aprendizaje cooperativo o el ahorro economico y medio ambiental que supone prescindir de la impresion en papel. El E-portafolio es un instrumento que contribuye al proceso de ensenanza-aprendizaje, que ayuda a que el alumnado sea co…
Il Breviario di Simone Beccadelli della Cattedrale di Palermo (1453). Stagione 2: de Lignamine e Riggio
2022
All’arcivescovo Beccadelli è riferito un Breviarium miniato a più mani variamente riconosciute. L’intervento ricostruisce, identificando due stemmi post confezione non appartenenti al committente (1. goffrato sul taglio concavo, 2. c. VIv), altrettanti inediti passaggi di mano del ms. (XV-XVII sec.) An illuminated Breviarium by several hands variously recognized is referred to Archbishop Beccadelli. The work reconstructs, by identifying two post-package coats of arms not belonging to the patron (1. embossed on the concave cut, 2. c. VIv), as many unpublished hand transitions of the ms. (15th-17th cent.)
Fra tardogotico e Rinascimento: Messina tra Sicilia e continente
2008
L’architettura prodotta in ambito messinese fra Quattro e Cinquecento si è spesso prestata ad una valutazione di estraneità, rispetto al contesto isolano. L’idea che Messina sia la città più “toscana” e “rinascimentale” del sud va probabilmente mitigata: i terremoti che hanno colpito in modo devastante Messina e la Sicilia orientale hanno probabilmente sottratto numerose prove di una prolungata permanenza del gotico in quest’area e hanno inevitabilmente condizionato la lettura degli storici. Bisogna aggiungere che i palazzi di Taormina risultano erroneamente retrodatati e legati al primo Quattrocento. In realtà in questi episodi (ed altri, come quelli di palazzi di Cosenza) il linguaggio ta…
Conditioned Pain Modulation Is Not Impaired in Individuals with Frozen Shoulder: A Case-Control Study
2021
Frozen shoulder (FS) is a poorly understood condition resulting in substantial shoulder pain and mobility deficits. The mechanisms behind FS are not yet fully understood, but, similar to other persistent pain states, central pain mechanisms may contribute to ongoing symptoms in this population. The objective of this research was to investigate conditioned pain modulation (CPM) in people with FS compared with pain-free individuals. A total of 64 individuals with FS and 64 healthy volunteers participated in this cross-sectional study. CPM was assessed by using the pressure pain threshold (PPT) and an occlusion cuff (tourniquet test) as the test and conditioning stimulus, respectively. The abs…
The monophyly and evolution of Cynara L. (Asteraceae) sensu lato: evidence from the Internal Transcribed Spacer region of nrDNA
2005
The monophyly and evolution of Cynara was investigated using ITS sequence data. Parsimony analysis supports the monophyly of Cynara sensu lato, i.e. including the distinctive taxa C. humilis and C. tournefortii. This contradicts the recent decision to create a new monotypic genus Arcyna for C. tournefortii. A hypothesised close relationship between C. tournefortii and Silybum Adans. is also refuted. Four of the five species of Cynara, for which multiple accessions were sequenced, were shown to be monophyletic but C. baetica was found to be non-monophyletic. Free energy estimates for ITS1 secondary structure and conservation of the 5.8S region suggest that this is not due to the occurrence o…
A search for beta-lactamase in chlamydiae, mycoplasmas, planctomycetes, and cyanelles: bacteria and bacterial descendants at different phylogenetic p…
2000
Bacteria from different phylogenetic positions such as chlamydiae, mycoplasmas, planctomycetes and also endosymbiotic murein-containing cyanelles were investigated for the production of beta-lactamases. No beta-lactamase activity was found in bacteria lacking murein such as Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Pirellula marina and Planctomyces maris. In the murein-containing cyanelles of Cyanophora paradoxa no beta-lactamase activity could be detected.
