Effect of cladode shading on growth and ripening of fruits of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indicaL. Miller)
1997
SummaryFruiting cladodes of O. ficus-indica were covered with shade nets at different stages of the fruit development period to study the effect of the time and duration of shade on fruit growth, ripening time and harvest quality. Shading the fruiting cladodes 0, 15 and 30 d after full bloom (DAB) for a period of 15, 30, 45, 60 or 75 d significantly reduced fruit growth and ultimate harvest size. The longer the shading period the greater was the reduction of harvest fruit size. The greatest reduction of fruit growth (30%) occurred when the fruiting cladodes were shaded from bloom to harvest. Differences in growth rate beween fruits on shaded or sunlit cladodes begun to appear at 30 DAB and …
Bases fisiológicas de la regeneración ósea II: el proceso de remodelado
2006
El remodelado óseo es un proceso de reestructuración del hueso existente, que está en constante formación y reabsorción. Este fenómeno equilibrado permite, en condiciones normales, la renovación de un 5-10% del hueso total al año. A nivel microscópico el remodelado óseo se produce en las unidades básicas multicelulares, donde los osteoclastos reabsorben una cantidad determinada de hueso y los osteoblastos forman la matriz osteoide y la mineralizan para rellenar la cavidad previamente creada. En estas unidades hay osteoclastos, macrófagos, preosteoblastos y osteoblastos y están regidos por una serie de factores, tanto generales como locales, permitiendo el normal funcionamiento del hueso y e…
From medical data to simple virtual mock-up of scapulo-humeral joint
2008
The surgical operations of shoulder joint are guided by various principles: osteosynthesis in the case of fracture, osteotomy in order to correct a deformation or to modify the functioning of the joint, or implementation of articular prosthesis. At the end of the twentieth century, many innovations in the domains of biomechanics and orthopedic surgery have been performed. Nevertheless, theoretical and practical problems may appear during the operation (visual field of surgeon is very limited, quality and shape of the bone is variable depending on the patient). Biomechanical criteria of success are defined for each intervention. For example, the installation with success of prosthetic implan…
Fresh-cut products from cactus species
2005
Various species of Cactaceae family can serve a source of delicious and healthy fresh foodstuffs. Marketing cacti as ready-to-eat (fresh-cut) products may significantly expand their consumption, on condition that their quality, safety and longevity would answer the market demands. The present work was aimed at studying the storability of fresh-cut products prepared from several edible cactus species and looking for ways to improve their keeping quality. The experiments included fruit of cactus pear Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller, cactus apple (koubo) Cereus peruvianus (L.) Miller, and dragon fruit (pitaya) Hylocereus undatus (Haw.) Britton and Rose, as well as cladodes (pads) of nopal (ve…
Ecological aspects of plants inhabiting Mediterranean cliffs. Challenges and prospects of life in vertical environments
2021
[ES] Esta tesis investiga las oportunidades, desafíos y limitaciones para la investigación en el campo de la ecología vegetal, en el contexto de los acantilados mediterráneos. En concreto, las especies casmofiticas, cuyos hábitats naturales se caracterizan por su acusada pendiente. Las laderas de las montañas de piedra caliza en la proximidad del mar, en la parte central y occidental del área mediterránea se consideran objetos de estudio. Los estudios se llevaron a cabo en los cinturones costeros de montaña de las costas del noroeste de Sicilia y la costa diánica en la Comunidad Valenciana. El primer capítulo, titulado "The complexity of environmental factors: cliff microclimate", investiga…
Long-Term Consequences of Water Pumping on the Ecosystem Functioning of Lake Sekšu, Latvia
2020
Cultural eutrophication, the process by which pollution due to human activity speeds up natural eutrophication, is a widespread and consequential issue. Here, we present the 85-year history of a small, initially Lobelia&ndash
The future of cladoceran research
1997
The cladocerans are a group of Crustacea used as model organisms in many fields of biology. In system-atics, ecology, physiology and genetics, the cladocerans appear as frequently used examples in case studies. Their reproductive system, switching between parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction, makes them particularly suited for studies dealing with genetic and environmentally induced variability. It is on the whole a particularly handy group of animals that can be used for studying almost all kinds of evolutionary processes.
Effect anti inflammatory and anti obesity of the polyphenolic extracts of carob leaves "Ceratonia siliqua" and cladode "Opuntia ficus-indica"
2018
In the present study, we have investigated the effects of polyphenol-rich infusions from carob leaves and OFI-cladodes on inflammation associated with obesity and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis in Swiss mice. In vitro studies revealed that aqueous extracts of carob leaves and OFI-cladodes exhibited anti-inflammatory properties marked by the inhibition of , TNF-α and nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells concomitant with NF-κβ nucleus translocation inhibition. For in vivo investigations, Swiss male mice were subjected to control or high fat diet (HFD). At the 4th week after the start of study, animals received or not 1% i…
El controlador de movimiento a través de la mirada. Una aproximación hacia la aplicación en un alumno con PCI
2013
Artículo recibido: 11/04/13; evaluado: 15/05/13 - 29/05/13; aceptado: 31/05/13
 ResumenLa utilización de las tecnologías de ayuda en los alumnos con necesidades educativas especiales derivadas de un trastorno motor, es un elemento esencial en su proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Sin embargo, las dificultades en la utilización de dichas tecnologías, deben ser abordadas y mostradas para su conocimiento por aquellos interesados en el tema de la innovación tecnológica, como es el caso del controlador de movimiento a través de la mirada. En la investigación que se presenta, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica y se empleó un diseño de estudio de caso intrínseco, con instrumentos de recog…
Cellusim: Un simulador 3D en entorno videojuego para la docencia del laboratorio de cultivos celulares
2018
[EN] Cell cultures allow the maintenance of living cells outside the body. This technique is fundamental to study the biological, biochemical and physiological properties of cells and can be used as an experimental model in vitro in the field of biomedical research. The teaching in the laboratory of this technique presents numerous difficulties at a practical, logistical and economic level. On the other hand, the learning of cell culture protocols is an important part of the student's training in Cell Biology. Based on the routine practices carried out within a cell culture laboratory, we have developed the virtual 3D simulator of a cell culture laboratory "Cellusim". In "Cellusim" you can …
