Televisión: lo cotidiano y lo autorreferencial. Los genéricos del telefilm
1986
En conclusión, hemos analizado algunos de los mecanismos de autorreferencialidad que caracterizan al discurso de telefilm a partir de sus genéricos, trabajo de diferenciación en el modelo hollywoodense que sirve de base al montaje de dichos espacios y aquí un rasgo todavía más de neutralización. Ello se ha materializado, en formas diversas, en una primera autorreferencialidad del episodio hacia sí mismo; en segundo, una autorreferencialidad que incluye a todas las demás y les imprime su sello tan indefectible como autoritario. Pues los telefilms están continuamente segmentados en su interior por espacios vacíos que sólo la publicidad puede llenar. Incluso podría afirmarse que el telefilm só…
Plasmodium falciparumMalaria: Reduction of Endothelial Cell Apoptosis In Vitro
2005
ABSTRACTOrgan failure inPlasmodium falciparummalaria is associated with neutrophil activation and endothelial damage. This study investigates whether neutrophil-induced endothelial damage involves apoptosis and whether it can be prevented by neutralization of neutrophil secretory products. Endothelial cells from human umbilical veins were coincubated with neutrophils from healthy donors and with sera from eight patients withP. falciparummalaria, three patients withP. vivaxmalaria, and three healthy controls. Endothelial apoptosis was demonstrated by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) and annexin V staining. The rate of apoptosis of cells was …
Food predictability determines space use of endangered vultures: implications for management of supplementary feeding.
2013
Understanding space use of free-living endangered animals is key to inform management decisions for conservation planning. Like most scavengers, vultures have evolved under a context of unpredictability of food resources (i.e. exploiting scattered carcasses that are intermittently available). However, the role of predictable sources of food in shaping spatial ecology of vultures has seldom been studied in detail. Here, we quantify the home range of the Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), a long-lived raptor which has experienced severe population decline throughout its range and is qualified as endangered worldwide. To this end six adults were tracked by satellite telemetry in Spain d…

Le ville di Falconarossa
2006
Il saggio spiega come l’esperienza di Falconarossa, località posta alle falde dei colli che circondano Palermo a nord-ovest del nucleo antico, sia stata per Giuseppe Samonà un’occasione straordinaria per una riflessione sul linguaggio moderno dell’architettura. Attraverso il progetto di cinque ville “speciali”, le uniche costruite, previste da una serie di piani di lottizzazione mai attuati, Samonà dà vita a composizioni originali nelle quali si fondono, in modo inedito, alcune delle più significative ricerche architettoniche del XX secolo. Interessante e utile è anche il confronto fra i progetti che precedono e seguono cronologicamente le ville speciali e soprattutto fra queste e la propos…
Acalculous cholecystitis in a patient with plasmodium falciparum malaria and cytomegalovirus infection
2017
Acalculous cholecystitis is a syndrome of gallbladder inflammation without gallstones, recognized within the setting of critically ill patients. Acalculous cholecystitis associated with infectious agents is reported in the literature to be rare. Herein we describe a case of acalculous cholecystitis in a patient with malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and apparent cytomegalovirus infection, and discuss the possible role of CMV in the pathogenesis of acalculous cholecystitis in patients with malaria.
Composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Achillea falcata L. (Asteraceae).
2005
The composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Achillea falcata L. (Asteraceae) growing wild in Lebanon was analysed by GC and GC–MS; 58 compounds, representing 94.4% of the oil, were identified. Isomers of the cyclobutane ethanol, 1-methyl-2-(1-methylethenyl), grandisol (21.4%) and fragranol (16.8%) were the main components of the oil. Also abundant were artemisia ketone (5.2%), terpinen-4-ol (4.5%) and 1,8-cineole (4.0%). The essential oil shows inhibitory activity mainly against Gram-positive bacteria.
Domenico Lo Faso Pietrasanta duca di Serradifalco ed Eugéne Viollet-le-Duc: apprendistato medievalista e iniziazione all’Arte Regia
2017
Abstract: Viollet-le-Duc nel marzo del 1836 è quasi all’inizio del suo lungo viaggio in Italia. Stupisce di questo viaggio tanto il maturare della svolta critica che lo porta ad una riflessione problematica su temi dell’arte e dell’architettura del Medioevo, sia la determinazione o la lucidità nel rintracciare interlocutori significativi per il suo processo di apprendimento. Fra questi contatti quello con Domenico Lo Faso Pietrasanta è forse il più indiziario di una lucida sindrome di revisione critica della cultura architettonica alla quale si è formato; una volontà che, forse, sta alla base dell’intera organizzazione del viaggio di Viollet-le-Duc. Viollet-le-Duc’s journey in Italy is mark…
Do Tengmalm's owls see vole scent marks visible in ultraviolet light?
1997
Scent markings (urine and faeces) of small mammals are visible in ultraviolet (UV) light. Diurnal kestrels, Falco tinnunculususe them as a cue to find areas of food abundance. We studied whether vole-eating, nocturnal Tengmalm's owls, Aegolius funereuscan see vole scent marks using UV-vision. In a laboratory experiment, 14 young (less than 6 months old) and 14 adult (more than 6 months old) owls were individually given a choice between four adjacent arenas: (1) an arena with vole urine and faeces in UV light; (2) an arena with vole urine and faeces in visible light; (3) a clean arena in UV light; and (4) a clean arena in visible light. Owls did not prefer any of the four arenas. Our results…
