Engraulis encrasicolus larvae from two different environmental spawning areas of the Central Mediterranean Sea: first data on amino acid profiles and…
2020
Early life stages of marine fish populations may be strongly affected by environmental factors. Changes in the physical environment or the availability of food resources could lead to stress-related physiological responses affecting larval fitness, growth and survival. In the present study, we determined, for the first time, amino acid composition (AAC), lipid, and carbohydrate content, as well as alkaline phosphatase and peroxidase activities in larvae from the European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus. Fishes were caught in two different spawning areas of the Strait of Sicily, characterized by different environmental conditions, including a coastal upwelling with a lower temperature (Advent…
Sources of organic matter for inter-tidal consumers in Ascophyllum-shores (Sw Iceland): a multi stable isotope approach.
2007
Stable isotopes were used to examine the origin of organic matter in Icelandic Ascophyllum-based habitats, the role of different organic matters in filling intertidal food webs and the food preferences of the most abundant suspension feeders, grazers and predators. We selected three intertidal sites on the SW coast of Iceland where we sampled in early September 2004, organic matter sources (POM, SOM and most abundant primary producers, A. nodosum and F. vesciculosus) and the most abundant macrofauna species (barnacles, mussels, gastropods, sponge and crabs). Even though the primary production (Ascophyllum-based) was the same at the three study sites, the isotopic composition of common-among…
Predicting pool safety habits and intentions of Australian parents and carers for their young children
2019
Introduction Children under five years are most at risk of experiencing fatal and nonfatal drowning. The highest proportion of drowning incidents occur in private swimming pools. Lapses in adult supervision and failures in pool barriers are leading contributory factors for pool drowning in this age group. Methods We investigated the role of the theory of planned behavior social cognitions (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) as well as perceived barriers, planning, role construction, and anticipated regret on parents’ and carers’ intentions and habits toward two pool safety behaviors: restricting access and supervising children around private swimming pools. The stu…

TYPO-CHRONOLOGIE DES CÉRAMIQUES DU GROUPE RHIN-SUISSE-France -ORIENTALE (R.S.F.O.) DANS LA RÉGION DIJONNAISE :
2009
The archaeological site of the Pré-du-Plancher is located to the east of Dijon (Burgundy, Côte-d’Or), at the footof a limestone hill in the Basmont valley. This site, dated from the late Bronze Age, is the first to include a stratigraphicalsequence for this period in Burgundy. The settlement comprises of three buildings and several dumps containing potteryfinds. The study of the pottery as well as the site’s stratigraphy clearly identifies three chronological periods dating from Late Bronze Age IIb to Late Bronze age IIIa (French chronology) or Hallstatt A2 / B1 (German/Swiss chronology). Culturally, the site belongs to the Rhin-Suisse-France-Orientale group, the first phase showing influen…
Estudio de la relación entre los hábitos de vida, las variaciones del ritmo circadiano y los trastornos metabólicos en la obesidad infantil
2022
Numerosos estudios realizados en trabajadores del turno de noche evidencian una relación entre la alteración de los ritmos circadianos y los trastornos metabólicos. En paralelo, otras investigaciones realizadas principalmente en modelos animales o en adultos humanos, muestran una relación entre los hábitos de vida, la duración insuficiente y la mala calidad del sueño, y el desarrollo de la obesidad y sus comorbilidades. Sin embargo, se sabe poco sobre el papel que desempeñan estos mecanismos en la actual epidemia de obesidad infantil. Por ello, desarrollamos un estudio de la relación entre los hábitos de vida, los ritmos circadianos de la melatonina y el metabolismo, en el contexto de la ob…
The price of climate: French consumer preferences reveal spatial and individual inequalities.
2009
National audience; We use the hedonic price method to study consumer preferences for climate temperature, very hot or cold days, and rainfall) in France, a temperate countrywith varied climates. Data are for (i) individual attributes and prices of houses and workers and (ii) climate attributes interpolated from weather stations. We show that French households value warmer temperatures while very hot days are a nuisance. Such climatic amenities are attributes of consumers’ utility function; nevertheless, global warming assessments by economists, such as the Stern Review Report (2006), ignore these climatic preferences. The social welfare assessment is changed when the direct consumption of c…
Georges Candilis, architettura in divenire - Habitat adapté, climatique, évolutif
2014
la tesi ricostruisce le radici della sostenibilità architettonica, proponendo un'indagine sulla nascita della nozione di Habitat in seno ai CIAM e sullo sviluppo apportato dal Team 10. Lo studio della produzione di Candilis ( figura centrale del team 10) getta luce su alcune tematiche centrali per la progettazione architettonica contemporanea quali i rapporti tra: architettura/ambiente, locale/globale, identità/molteplicità,apertura/compimento dell'opera architettonica The thesis reconstructs the roots of the architectural sustainability proposing an investigation about the birth of the concept of habitat within the CIAM and their development by Team 10. The study of the production of Candi…
La financiación de la adquisición de viviendas: crecimiento y sus repercusiones para las cooperativas de crédito españolas
2001
La financiación de viviendas ha sido durante los últimos veinte años la actividad de crédito bancario más dinámica. A lo largo de ese período se han producido transformaciones significativas que han dotado al mercado hipotecario de una gran flexibilidad y de altas dosis de competencia. Antes de las reformas de los años 80 era un mercado con fuertes limitaciones y restringido a cajas de ahorros y al Banco Hipotecario de España. A partir de entonces se ha flexibilizado la obtención de recursos y se ha permitido la entrada de nuevos agentes. No obstante, a la hora de elegir una entidad a la hora de solicitar un crédito para adquisición de una vivienda, las familias han tenido en cuenta, además…
Limited Stress Response to Transplantation in the Mediterranean Macroalga Ericaria amentacea, a Key Species for Marine Forest Restoration
2022
In the Mediterranean Sea, brown macroalgae represent the dominant species in intertidal and subtidal habitats. Despite conservation efforts, these canopy-forming species showed a dramatic decline, highlighting the urge for active intervention to regenerate self-sustaining populations. For this reason, the restoration of macroalgae forests through transplantation has been recognized as a promising approach. However, the potential stress caused by the handling of thalli has never been assessed. Here, we used a manipulative approach to assess the transplant-induced stress in the Mediterranean Ericaria amentacea, through the analysis of biochemical proxies, i.e., phenolic compounds, lipids, and…
