Photometric and Spectroscopic Properties of Type Ia Supernova 2018oh with Early Excess Emission from the $Kepler$ 2 Observations
2019
Supernova (SN) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt) is the first spectroscopically-confirmed type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observed in the $Kepler$ field. The $Kepler$ data revealed an excess emission in its early light curve, allowing to place interesting constraints on its progenitor system (Dimitriadis et al. 2018, Shappee et al. 2018b). Here, we present extensive optical, ultraviolet, and near-infrared photometry, as well as dense sampling of optical spectra, for this object. SN 2018oh is relatively normal in its photometric evolution, with a rise time of 18.3$\pm$0.3 days and $\Delta$m$_{15}(B)=0.96\pm$0.03 mag, but it seems to have bluer $B - V$ colors. We construct the "uvoir" bolometric light curve hav…
STRATEGIE PENALI ED ANALISI ECONOMICA DELLA CRIMINALITÀ D'IMPRESA
DNA integrity, growth pattern, spindle formation, chromosomal constitution and imprinting patterns of mouse oocytes from vitrified pre-antral follicl…
2010
Cryopreservation of follicles for culture and oocyte growth and maturation in vitro provides an option to increase the number of fertilizable oocytes and restore fertility in cases where transplantation of ovarian tissue poses a risk for malignant cell contamination. Vitrification for cryopreservation is fast and avoids ice crystal formation. However, the influences of exposure to high concentrations of cryoprotectants on follicle development, oocyte growth and maturation, and particularly, on the DNA integrity and methylation imprinting has not been studied systematically. Follicle survival and development, DNA damage, oocyte growth patterns, maturation, spindle formation and chromosomal c…
Asynchronous replication dynamics of imprinted and non-imprinted chromosome regions in early mouse embryos.
2008
We have used interphase FISH to analyze the replication behavior of four imprinted chromosome regions (Snrpn, Zim1-Peg3, Dlk1-Gtl2, and Igf2r) and five non-imprinted regions in mouse one-cell to morula-stage embryos and embryonic fibroblasts. In general, imprinted chromosome regions showed the expected asynchronous pattern of replication throughout all analyzed stages of preimplantation development and in differentiated cells. The Dlk1-Gtl2 locus which is not expressed and Igf2r which is biallelically expressed in early embryos showed a relaxation of replication asynchrony at the morula stage. Asynchronous replication in zygotes and two-cell embryos was not specific to imprinted regions. Th…
Expression profiling of uniparental mouse embryos is inefficient in identifying novel imprinted genes
2006
AbstractImprinted genes are expressed from only one allele in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. We here describe a systematic approach to identify novel imprinted genes using quantification of allele-specific expression by Pyrosequencing, a highly accurate method to detect allele-specific expression differences. Sixty-eight candidate imprinted transcripts mapping to known imprinted chromosomal regions were selected from a recent expression profiling study of uniparental mouse embryos and analyzed. Three novel imprinted transcripts encoding putative non-protein-coding RNAs were identified on the basis of parent-of-origin-specific monoallelic expression in E11.5 (C57BL/6 × Cast/Ei)F1 and in…
La compañía de libreros e impresores de Valencia: finanzas y cultura en el siglo XVIII
1984
La característica fundamental de la compañía que el 30 de noviembre de 1759 formaron en Valencia cinco mercaderes de libros y tres impresores, deriva del tipo de asociación que adoptaron, es decir, el constituir una sociedad por acciones. El desarrollo de este tipo de sociedades en la España del siglo XVIII resulta de enorme interés, puesto que contrasta con la forma más habitual con la que los comerciantes solían unir sus capitales y esfuerzo para la consecución de sus fines, utilizando un tipo de compañías que eran conocidas como generales o «colectivas», o, con menor frecuencia, las comanditarias.
Coordinated Interpersonal Behaviour in Collective Dance Improvisation: The Aesthetics of Kinaesthetic Togetherness
2018
International audience; Collective dance improvisation (e.g., traditional and social dancing, contact improvisation) is a participatory, relational and embodied art form which eschews standard concepts in aesthetics. We present our ongoing research into the mechanisms underlying the lived experience of "togetherness" associated with such practices. Togetherness in collective dance improvisation is kinaesthetic (based on movement and its perception), and so can be simultaneously addressed from the perspective of the performers and the spectators, and be measured. We utilise these multiple levels of description: the first-person, phenomenological level of personal experiences, the third-perso…
Fleabag's Ethical Investigations
2020
Fleabag is a television series created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who also stars as the eponymous character. The television series was produced by Two Brothers Pictures and consists of two seasons of six episodes, each lasting around 25 minutes; the first season (2016) was produced for BBC Three whilst the second season (2019) for BBC Three and for Amazon Studios. Fleabag has conquered the heart of audiences all over the world, has received universal critical acclaim, has been presented with many accolades, and has been awarded several prizes. I see Fleabag as a primer on ethics, a compendium of some relevant themes of moral philosophy. The two-season television series is steeped …
Systems Thinking and Sustainability in Organisations
2015
This set of articles arises from a series of conferences (Business Systems Laboratory Symposia, 2013-2015) and in particular from the 2nd Business systems Laboratory International Symposium, Rome 2014 with the theme ‘Systems Thinking for a Sustainable Economy’, concerned with systems thinking and its relations with sustainable management, where the relevance of systems thinking was demonstrated. The current period of our global society is characterised by intense transformations in the competitive logics of organisations, markets, and, generally speaking, society. Social circumstances today are typified by dynamism, connectivity, nonlinearity, and emergent properties — in other words by ‘co…
