Erratum to “Irregularity” [Topology Appl. 154 (8) (2007) 1565–1580]

2012

[2, Proposition 4.4] states that each regular pretopology is topologically regular. Professor F. Mynard (Georgia Southern University) advised the authors that he was not convinced by the proof of that proposition, which enabled us to realize the proposition is wrong, as the example below shows. Recall that (e.g., [2]) a pretopology ξ on a set X is called regular if Vξ (x)⊂ adh ξ Vξ (x) (respectively, topologically regular if Vξ (x)⊂ cl ξ Vξ (x)) for every x ∈ X . As a consequence, in the sequel of [2], regular should be read topologically regular in a few instances, in particular in [2, Theorem 4.6]. [2, Proposition 4.4] is also quoted in [3], where it is used in some reformulations of clas…

Perfil cognitivo de los alcohólicos abstinentes durante un periodo de tiempo prolongado en comparación con un grupo de hombres que no consumen alcohol

2018

Scarce studies have focused on the cognitive profile of chronic alcoholic men after long-term abstinence. Thus, we examined neuropsychological differences between long-term abstinent alcoholics for an average of 3.2 years ( n = 40, LTAA; age = 45.55 ± 8.99) and matched for socio-demographic variables with non-alcoholic controls ( n = 39; age = 42.05 ± 11.33). To this aim, we employed a neuropsychological assessment battery covered relevant cognitive domains: IQ, memory, attention, executive functions and empathy. LTAA presented deficits in abstract reasoning, speed processing, sustained attention, working and long-term memory (verbal and visuospatial), cognitive flexibility, inhibition and …

The influence of Van Espen thought in the eighteenth century Spain

2001

Este trabajo fue presentado, en versión francesa, al Zegerd-Bernard van Espen. 300 Years Jus Ecclesiasticum Universum, coloquio internacional organizado por el Departamento de Derecho Canónico de la Universidad de Lovaina en septiembre del año 2000. La obra del jurisconsulto y canonista flamenco Zeger-Bernard Van Espen (1646-1728) tuvo una gran incidencia en la España del siglo XVIII. En el trabajo se precisa cómo penetró su obra y qué españoles fueron sus primeros lectores y difusores hasta influir de manera muy importante en la política religiosa de Carlos III y en los grupos episcopalistas del reinado de Carlos IV. The works of the Flemish jurist and expert in canon law Zeger-Bernhard Va…

L'utilisation des reliefs naturels dans l'art gravé et sculpté pariétal du paléolithique supérieur français

2005

Pendant toute la durée du Paléolithique supérieur, en Espagne et en France principalement, les artistes ont réalisé des figurations en utilisant les reliefs naturels et la morphologie des parois de grottes ou d'abris-sous-roche. Ce phénomène artistique, qui a toujours préoccupé les préhistoriens, a suscité les interrogations et les interprétations les plus diverses de la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu'à présent : origine de l'art, préoccupations magico-religieuses, organisation spatiale et sanctuarisation de l'espace souterrain, structures pariétales, chamanisme, techno-cultures, etc. Pendant longtemps, ce que les formes rocheuses pouvaient avoir d'évocateur a été considéré comme la raison d'être…

Advances in the Retrieval and Interpretation of Solar-Induced Vegetation Chlorophyll Fluorescence Using Passive Remote Sensing Techniques

2021

In the context of the development and implementation of the Fluorescence Explorer (FLEX) mission, selected in 2015 by the European Space Agency (ESA) as the 8th Earth Explorer, many recent developments in the field of vegetation chlorophyll fluorescence have taken place in the last years. These advances include new retrieval approaches, more accurate and robust, and a much better understanding of the variability of the signal, facilitating the interpretation of the dynamical changes and the usage of the fluorescence signal in Earth models and applications. Although chlorophyll fluorescence is related to the actual photosynthetic activity of the plants, the link between fluorescence and phot…

Rapid analysis of effluents generated by the dairy industry for fat determination by preconcentration in nylon membranes and attenuated total reflect…

2014

Abstract This paper describes a new approach for the determination of fat in the effluents generated by the dairy industry which is based on the retention of fat in nylon membranes and measurement of the absorbances on the membrane surface by ATR-IR spectroscopy. Different options have been evaluated for retaining fat in the membranes using milk samples of different origin and fat content. Based on the results obtained, a method is proposed for the determination of fat in effluents which involves the filtration of 1 mL of the samples through 0.45 µm nylon membranes of 13 mm diameter. The fat content is then determined by measuring the absorbance of band at 1745 cm −1 . The proposed method c…

Determination of the energetic value of fruit and milk-based beverages through partial-least-squares attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform i…

2005

Abstract The estimation of important nutritional parameters, such as carbohydrates content and energetic value (calories) in commercially available fruit juice and flavour milk shakes has been made by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) using a partial-least-square (PLS) calibration approach. A highly heterogeneous population of 65 samples obtained from the Spanish market, covering fruit juices, flavour milk shakes and milk-added fruit juices was used. The spectral range and the size of the calibration set for building the PLS model have been evaluated. Considering a calibration set comprised of 27 samples, selected via hierarchical cluster analys…

Nest aggregation and reproductive synchrony promote Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni seasonal fitness

2013

Several factors promote coloniality by enhancing the fitness of colony members. In birds, spatial proximity among nests, breeder abundance and reproductive synchrony have been proposed as primary factors responsible for enhanced colonial defence and foraging success, which, in turn, enhance reproductive success. Whether these factors function synergistically or antagonistically remains, however, an open question due to the absence of an integrated analysis of their effects on fitness. We studied a large population of the Lesser Kestrel, Falco naumanni, a facultative colonial species, breeding in colonies of different sizes in their typical pseudo-steppe habitat. We quantified both the singu…
