Status of vulnerable Cystoseira populations along the Italian infralittoral fringe, and relationships with environmental and anthropogenic variables
2018
We analyzed the occurrence and status of infralittoral fringe populations of Cystoseira spp. (Fucales) at thirteen rocky sites around the Italian coastline, and explored the relationships with relevant environmental and anthropogenic variables. We found Cystoseira populations at 11 sites: most were scattered and comprised monospecific stands of C. compressa, and only 6 sites also supported sparse specimens of either C. amentacea var. stricta or C. brachycarpa. Coastal human population density, Chlorophyll a seawater concentrations, sea surface temperature, annual range of sea surface temperature and wave fetch explained most of the variation of the status of C. compressa. We hypothesize a g…
Intermedio and Chorus. Re-thinking Theories and Practices in Sixteenth-Century Italian Theatre
2017
L'articolo mette a confronto le teorie fiorite nel corso del sedicesimo secolo sull'uso del coro e dell'intermedio nei tre generi teatrali dell'epoca (tragedia, commedia, favola pastorale). L'esame rivela che, lungi dall'uniformarsi agli asserti dei letterati pieni di riferimenti alle poetiche di Aristotele e Orazio, gli uomini di teatro paragonarono spesso l'intermedio al coro di ispirazione classica. La definizione di "coro intercalare" e di "coro istrione", avanzata da Ottavio Magnanini nel 1614, si può applicare alle tragedie di alcuni celebri autori del secolo precedente che accostarono il coro tragico all'intermedio, corrompendo in parte il ruolo drammatico del primo a favore della sp…
Dependence on nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) levels discriminates conventional T cells from Foxp3 + regulatory T cells
2012
Several lines of evidence suggest nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) to control regulatory T cells: thymus-derived naturally occurring regulatory T cells (nTreg) depend on calcium signals, the Foxp3 gene harbors several NFAT binding sites, and the Foxp3 (Fork head box P3) protein interacts with NFAT. Therefore, we investigated the impact of NFAT on Foxp3 expression. Indeed, the generation of peripherally induced Treg (iTreg) by TGF-β was highly dependent on NFAT expression because the ability of CD4 + T cells to differentiate into iTreg diminished markedly with the number of NFAT family members missing. It can be concluded that the expression of Foxp3 in TGF-β–induced iTreg depends…
Ciencia del Comercio, Economía Política y Economía Civil en la Ilustración Española (1714-1808)
2019
The chronology of economic ideas in Spanish Enlightenment is well known. However, the most accepted periodization does not fit with the evolution of moral philosophy and political economy in the 18th century, nor does it reflect the alternation in economic ideologies. After considering a joint articulation of national and generational approaches to the European economic thought, it seems important to differentiate the contents of political economy and civil economy to study the Spanish case. Below is a new periodization in five stages of enlightened economic thought in Spain: the time of colbertism and projectism (1714-1740), this of the learning of the science of commerce in Ensenada’s per…
La evolución de las pautas de consumo de las familias valencianas. Una aproximación a los cambios de comportamiento en el siglo XVIII
2019
En las áreas más dinámicas de la Europa Occidental la llamada revolución del consumo hizo su aparición a finales del xvii. También en la España Mediterránea se produjeron cambios significativos en las pautas adquisitivas de las familias, derivados del excepcional desarrollo económico experimentado a lo largo del siglo xviii. Cambios que dudamos en calificar de revolucionarios –ya que responden a un proceso progresivo en el que intervienen múltiples variables–, y que en nuestra opinión consideramos que el término que mejor caracteriza este período es el de evolución del consumo. La base documental utilizada en este estudio comparativo la constituye un conjunto de escrituras de dote repartida…
Segundo de Chomón, un guía turístico de cine.
2013
Desde sus orígenes el cine ha sido un poderoso creador de imaginarios sobre las culturas y los países del mundo. Por lo mismo, ha contribuido a configurar la imagen de España como destino turístico. Aunque los primeros documentales sobre España fueron filmados por camarógrafos extranjeros, muy pronto los operadores españoles empezaron a realizar sus propias películas, contribuyendo a conformar el imaginario fílmico nacional. Entre ellas destacan los documentales turísticos realizados para la firma Pathé por Segundo de Chomón, cuya habilidad narrativa y compositiva sientan las bases del género. Con ellos, sin obviar las expectativas espectatoriales, el cineasta consigue aportar un plus de re…
From Theatre to Theatricality—How to Construct Reality
1995
At the end of the nineteenth century, the dominance of language, so typical of Western culture since the Renaissance, was increasingly challenged. As early as 1876, Nietzsche wrote on Richard Wagner in Thoughts Out of Season:He was the first to recognize an evil which is as widespread as civilization itself among men; language is everywhere diseased, and the burden of this terrible disease weighs heavily upon the whole of man's development. Inasmuch as language has retreated ever more and more from its true province— the expression of strong feelings, which it was once able to convey in all their simplicity—and has always had to strain after the practically impossible achievement of communi…

Colonization pattern of primary tomato roots by Pseudomonas fluorescens A6RI characterized by dilution plating, flow cytometry, fluorescence, confoca…
2004
Early colonization of primary tomato roots, grown in vitro, by Pseudomonas fluorescens A6RI, introduced by seed bacterization, was monitored for 7 days in three different root zones (zone A, apex+elongation+young hairy zone; zone B, hairy zone; zone C, old hairy zone+collar). Bacterial quantification was assessed by enumeration of (i) colony forming units (cfu) after dilution plating and of (ii) total bacterial cells by flow cytometry. Bacterial distribution and organization in the root zones were analyzed by fluorescence, confocal and scanning electron microscopy. For all sampling dates and zones, the densities of total bacterial cells were significantly higher than those of the cfu. The k…
