PLANETS AROUND LOW-MASS STARS AND STELLAR ACTIVITY EFFECTS
In the last years the field of exoplanet research has focused its interest in M dwarfs. These stars have became the favourite targets in radial velocity surveys, specially when looking for small planets in the habitable zones of their parent stars. Not only for being the M dwarfs the most common objects in our Galaxy also because the Doppler signals due to small planets orbiting around them are larger and more easily detectable than those around FGK stars. However, stellar magnetic activity and rotation affect the measured radial velocities as surface inhomogeneities rotating with the stellar surface can cause periodic changes in the spectral line centroid. Disentangle these stellar activit…
Física por un tubo. Mide la velocidad del sonido en el aire y diviértete con los tubos sonoros
2011
En este trabajo damos las claves para disenar un conjunto de tubos sonoros de PVC que permiten realizar una ejecucion musical en grupo con la participacion de un gran numero de personas sin cultura musical previa. Proponemos ademas la utilizacion de los tubos para el estudio cuantitativo de los fenomenos fisicos involucrados en la generacion del sonido con instrumentos de viento. Se describe la utilizacion de los tubos sonoros, en combinacion con un ordenador y un programa de analisis de sonido, para el analisis de ondas estacionarias y la determinacion de la velocidad de propagacion del sonido en el aire mediante distintos procedimientos.Palabras clave: Acustica; Ondas estacionarias; Veloc…

Periodontal disease associated to systemic genetic disorders
2007
A number of systemic disorders increase patient susceptibility to periodontal disease, which moreover evolves more rapidly and more aggressively. The underlying factors are mainly related to alterations in immune, endocrine and connective tissue status. These alterations are associated with different pathologies and syndromes that generate periodontal disease either as a primary manifestation or by aggravating a pre-existing condition attributable to local factors. This is where the role of bacterial plaque is subject to debate. In the presence of qualitative or quantitative cellular immune alterations, periodontal disease may manifest early on a severe localized or generalized basis - in s…
HADES RV programme with HARPS-N at TNG: XII. The abundance signature of M dwarf stars with planets
2020
[Context] Most of our current knowledge on planet formation is still based on the analysis of main sequence, solar-type stars. Conversely, detailed chemical studies of large samples of M dwarfs hosting planets are still missing.
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Structural and dynamical properties of the young cluster Chamaeleon i
2017
Investigating the physical mechanisms driving the dynamical evolution of young star clusters is fundamental to our understanding of the star formation process and the properties of the Galactic field stars. The young (~2 Myr) and partially embedded cluster Chamaeleon I is one of the closest laboratories for the study of the early stages of star cluster dynamics in a low-density environment. The aim of this work is to study the structural and kinematical properties of this cluster combining parameters from the high-resolution spectroscopic observations of the Gaia-ESO Survey with data from the literature. Our main result is the evidence of a large discrepancy between the velocity dispersion …

Determinazione del profilo di velocità e di intensità della turbolenza in canali vegetati
2008
In questa memoria i profili sperimentali della velocità longitudinale misurati in un canale rettilineo di laboratorio con vegetazione sommersa flessibile sul fondo, vengono utilizzati per testare l’applicabilità della legge tangente iperbolica, in genere utilizzata per interpretare il profilo di velocità nello strato di mescolamento (mixing layer). L’adattamento del profilo tangente iperbolica, sia a tutte le distribuzioni sperimentali di velocità presentate in questo lavoro che a quelle misurate da Ghisalberti & Nepf (2002) in differenti condizioni idrodinamiche, ha consentito di localizzare sempre il punto di flesso del profilo ad una distanza prossima all'altezza della vegetazione infles…
Farmacocinética y farmacodinamia de oxaliplatino intraperitoneal con hipertermia en pacientes con carcinomatoisis peritoneal sometidos a cirugía
2016
La carcinomatosis peritoneal (CP) es la diseminación tumoral, localizada o masiva, que afecta a la serosa del peritoneo y sus órganos vecinos. Esta situación clínica compromete seriamente la vida de los pacientes y su incurabilidad se debe, fundamentalmente, a la ausencia de terapias eficaces y seguras para su tratamiento. Recientemente, se han establecido las bases de un tratamiento multidisciplinar basado en la cirugía radical o citorreducción (CRS), cuyo objetivo es eliminar la enfermedad macroscópica mediante resecciones peritoneales, seguido de la administración de quimioterapia intraperitoneal hipertérmica (HIPEC), con el fin de erradicar el tumor microscópico residual que no puede se…
Aortic Stiffness in HIV Infection with and without Antiretroviral Therapy. A Meta-analysis of Observational Studies
2020
Background: The risk of Cardiovascular (CV) events is higher in HIV-infected patients (HIV+) compared to HIV-uninfected persons (HIV−). Large artery stiffness, a well-documented predictor of adverse CV prognosis, may mediate this enhanced risk. It is usually assessed by measuring aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (aPWV). Studies examining arterial stiffness in HIV+ yielded inconsistent results. We performed a meta-analysis with the aim to evaluate the association of HIV infection and its therapy [Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)] with aPWV. Design and Method: The Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated for aPWV in different comparison groups. Stati…
