Investigation of the skin lesions in lightning strike death

2021

Lightning strike-related deaths are unusual, and the victim bodies can present different lesions due to the different injury mechanisms associated with this event. Since the post mortem assessment can be challenging, the evaluation of the characteristics of the skin lesions becomes fundamental to reconstruct the event. Due to the paucity of literature on this topic, the authors report the case of a 59-year-old man found dead near his home after a thunderstorm. Initially considered a murder by gunshot, the autopsy revealed the typical lightning strike lesions, also known as Lichtenberg figures. The adequate interpretation of the autopsy data and the histological evidences allowed to reconstr…

A novel approach to measure the cross section of the 18O(p, α)15N resonant reaction in the 0-200 keV energy range

2009

The 18O(p, ?)15N reaction is of primary importance to pin down the uncertainties, due to nuclear physics input, affecting present-day models of asymptotic giant branch stars. Its reaction rate can modify both fluorine nucleosynthesis inside such stars and oxygen and nitrogen isotopic ratios, which allow one to constrain the proposed astrophysical scenarios. Thus, an indirect measurement of the low-energy region of the 18O(p, ?)15N reaction has been performed to access, for the first time, the range of relevance for astrophysical application. In particular, a full, high-accuracy spectroscopic study of the 20 and 90 keV resonances has been performed and the strengths deduced to evaluate the r…

About some psychological variables correlated with dogmatism

1983

The relationships between dogmatism and some perceptual-cognitive, personality, and attitudinal indices were investigated for 40 men and 40 women. Dogmatism scores correlated negatively with the scores in Witkin's Group Embedded Figures Test and on the Flexibility scale from Gough's California Psychological Inventory. Correlations were positive for a favorable attitude towards concepts like Discipline, Obedience, Social order, measured by the semantic differential. Some incongruities between obtained data and Rokeach's (1960) findings are pointed out.

Turn, turn, turn : perceiving global and local, clockwise and counterclockwise rotations

2015

International audience; We developed a series of dynamic geometric Navon figures in order to study global/local rotation processing. These figures consist of a global figure (a triangle or a square) made up of local figures (also triangles or squares). Both global and local figures can rotate in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions independently. We found that there is no right or left visual field perceptual advantage for either the global or local levels of these figures, as in Sergent (1982). We did, however, find a significant processing advantage for clockwise motion compared to counterclockwise motion. We also found a highly significant interaction between the detection of …

Representació gràfica i ècfrasi en l’obra de Ramon Llull

2016

El present treball estudia la relació que s’estableix entre text i representacions gràfiques en les obres de Ramon Llull, fent una atenció especial al recurs retòric anomenat ècfrasi, això és, la descripció verbal d’un objecte visual. S’analitzen casos de descripció de figures lul·lianes, sobretot esquemes arboris, en presència de la seva representació (ècfrasi referencial) o en absència de la mateixa (ècfrasi nocional). Es conclou que la dimensió material de les figures i l’assimilació mental del seu funcionament són elements cabdals del procés d’elevació cognitiva que proposa Llull This article discusses the relation established between texts and graphic representations in works of Ramon …

« La rebeldía cabal » : éthique et poétique du rebelle dans l’œuvre de Tomás Segovia

2016

International audience; « Rebelle », voilà une épithète souvent associée à Tomás Segovia (Valencia 1927- México 2011) car l’œuvre de ce poète hispano-mexicain n’est pas compressible à l’intérieur de frontières qui trop souvent pressent et circonviennent : « nunca se dejará abrazar y abarcar y menos aún domesticar y encasillar » écrit Tomás Segovia à propos du chevalier errant ; et l’on serait tenté de voir dans cette présentation un autoportrait à peine voilé. Les écrits de Tomás Segovia interrogent la résistance et l’insoumission, ils invitent d’ailleurs à réfléchir « a contrapelo », « a contratiempo », « a contraluz », « a contramano » (Ensayos I, actitudes y contracorrientes). La rébelli…
