Spatio-temporal Contrast Sensitivity in the Cardinal Directions of the Colour Space. A Review

2010

AbstractWe review the psychophysics of the spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity in the cardinal directions of the colour space and their correlation with those neural characteristics of the visual system that limit the ability to perform contrast detection or pattern-resolution tasks. We focus our attention particularly on the influence of luminance level, spatial extent and spatial location of the stimuli - factors that determine the characteristics of the physiological mechanisms underlying detection. Optical factors do obviously play a role, but we will refer to them only briefly. Contrast sensitivity measurements are often used in clinical practice as a method to detect, at their early …

Skąd Kościół? Od teologii liberalnej do Antona Vögtle

2015

W artykule przedstawiono najważniejsze etapy dyskusji wokół początków Kościoła od teologii liberalnej do Antona Vögtle. Autorzy „pierwszego consensusu” szkoły historyczno-liberalnej (Harnack, Loisy) zakwestionowali obecność jakiejkolwiek formy zorganizowanego Kościoła w życiu i nauczaniu Jezusa. „Nowy consensus” szkoły eschatologiczno-nowotestamentalnej (Cullmann, Oepke, Beetz) określił Kościół jako Lud Boży czasów ostatecznych, którego fundamenty mają swoje źródło w życiu i nauczaniu ziemskiego Jezusa. Ostateczne ukonstytuowanie się Kościoła dokonało się w wydarzeniach Jego śmierci i zmartwychwstania, a potwierdzone zostało eschatologicznym darem Ducha Świętego w dniu Pięćdziesiątnicy. Suk…

Estudio molecular del condiloma acuminado: correlación clínica e histopatológica, genotipo del virus del papiloma humano y factores de riesgo asociad…

2015

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los condilomas acuminados(CA) se encuentran entre las enfermedades más comunes de transmisión sexual. Aunque habitualmente se entiende que es el virus del papiloma humano (VPH) de bajo riesgo, genotipos 6 y 11 los que están asociados con el CA, sólo existen un número limitado de estudios publicados que informan de la prevalencia específica del genotipo del VPH. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue evaluar la prevalencia de genotipos del VPH para un elevado número de casos que involucran tanto a hombres y mujeres y poder evaluar el beneficio potencial de una vacuna cuatrivalente (genotipos 6, 11, 16, y 18) contra el VPH en Valencia (España ) y analizar los factores de riesgo asoc…

Sedimentary model and high-frequency cyclicity in a Mediterranean, shallow-shelf, temperate-carbonate environment (uppermost Miocene, Agua Amarga Bas…

1996

Uppermost Tortonian to lower Messinian temperate carbonates crop out in the Agua Amarga Basin (SE Spain). They consist of four units. The lower three units can be tentatively assigned to the lowstand systems tract of a fourth-order sequence, constituting in turn the lowstand (‘megatrough unit’), transgressive (‘breccia unit’) and highstand (‘bedded unit’) stages of a higher-order cycle. All these materials were deposited in a small pull-apart basin related to the sinistral Carboneras strike-slip fault system. The best represented is the bedded unit (up to 25 m thick), which consists of bioclastic, bryozoan/bivalve-dominated calcarenites/calcirudites with abundant fragments of echinoids, bar…

Correlation of welded ignimbrites on Pantelleria (Strait of Sicily) using paleomagnetism

2011

Although the oldest volcanic rocks exposed at Pantelleria (Strait of Sicily) are older than 300 ka, most of the island is covered by the 45–50 ka Green Tuff ignimbrite, thought to be related to the Cinque Denti caldera, and younger lavas and scoria cones. Pre-50 ka rocks (predominantly rheomorphic ignimbrites) are exposed at isolated sea cliffs, and their stratigraphy and chronology are not completely resolved. Based on volcanic stratigraphy and K/Ar dating, it has been proposed that the older La Vecchia caldera is related to ignimbrite Q (114 ka), and that ignimbrites F, D, and Z (106, 94, and 79 ka, respectively) were erupted after caldera formation. We report here the paleomagnetic direc…

Partitioning between “wedge-top” river- and wave-dominated successions: an example from the late Tortonian — early Messinian Terravecchia Formation (…

2011

AbstractDetailed field sedimentological and facies analyses have been performed in the Terravecchia Formation cropping out in NW Sicily, in order to differentiate and describe, for the first time, wave- and river-dominated shallow-marine (deltaic) siliciclastic successions. The latter were deposited filling syntectonic basins, developed between the late Tortonian and early Messinian time, within the wedge-top depozone of the Sicilian Foreland Basin System. It has been observed that river-dominated successions, recording the deposition of small fan-deltas are characterized by fining- to coarsening upward, transgressive-regressive sequences which were mostly deposited filling relatively narro…

The miocene deposits of the Quesa basin (Betic foreland) outcrops in the central part of the Valencia province (Spain). Quesa basin is a subsiding hanging-wall basin related to an ENE-WSW listric fault system. The deposits of this basin are formed by a 440 metres thick sequence of red clays, containing few intercalations of sandstones and micritic white limestones, and breccias. The upper 70 metres of this sequence is a wedge-shaped unit composed by breccias containing megablocks, wich interfinger with tabular limestones towards the central part of the basin. The breccias are foot-wall derived debris fiow deposits formed during normal faulting. A mammal site close to the base of the breccia…

Fluid circulation at Stromboli volcano (Aeolian Islands, Italy) from self-potential and CO2 surveys

2002

This work addresses the study of fluid circulation of the Stromboli island using a dense coverage of self-potential (SP) and soil CO2 data. A marked difference exists between the northern flank and the other flanks of the island. The northern flank exhibits (1) a typical negative SP/altitude gradient not observed on the other flanks, and (2) higher levels of CO2. The general SP pattern suggests that the northern flank is composed of porous layers through which vadose water flows down to a basal water table, in contrast to the other flanks where impermeable layers impede the vertical flow of vadose water. In the Sciara del Fuoco and Rina Grande–Le Schicciole landslide complexes, breccias of …

Inner vs. outer wedge-top depozone “sequences” in the Late Miocene (late Tortonian–early Messinian) Sicilian Foreland Basin System; new data from the…

2012

Abstract The wedge-top depozone belongs to the innermost portion of a Foreland Basin System (FBS) ( DeCelles and Giles, 1996 ) and includes all sediments, typically coarse-grained proximal facies, that bury the active frontal part of a fold and thrust belt. The Terravecchia Formation ( Flores, 1959 , Schmidt Di Friedberg, 1962 , Schmidt Di Friedberg, 1964 , Catalano, 1979 ) is a composite lithostratigraphic unit widespread in Sicily (southern Italy) which has been recently considered ( Gugliotta, 2010 ) as a part of the stratigraphic record of the Late Miocene (late Tortonian to early Messinian) Sicilian wedge-top depozone and represent the main object of this paper. Two end-member wedge-to…
