RNA memory model: a RNA-mediated transcriptional activation mechanism involved in cell identity.
2010
Position-effect variegation (PEV) was discovered in Drosophila melanogaster in 1930 in a study of X-ray-induced chromosomal rearrangements. If a rearrangement places euchromatic genes adjacent to a region of centromeric heterochromatin, it gives a variegated phenotype that results from the random inactivation of genes by heterochromatin spreading from the breakpoint. After the establishment, the inactivation is henceforth clonally inherited. The vast majority of these modifiers were originally isolated in Drosophila as dominant mutations that suppressed or enhanced the variegation caused by a variegating white allele called white-mottled 4 (wm4). A large number of modifier genes alter PEV p…

Translating the Memory of the Holocaust: Thomas Geve’s Memoir
2020
espanolThis paper explores the most significant challenges of translating the memory of the Holocaust, focusing on the difficulties of transferring a survivor’s testimonial account to a different linguistic and cultural system. Because the concentration camp experience is inherently multicultural, and survivors have chosen to pen their ordeal in several languages, translation epitomizes a discipline that intertwines directly with the construction of universal collective memory. Consequently, translating Holocaust memoirs poses challenging questions on hermeneutics and deontology. Throughout the following pages, I will critically analyze my own Spanish rendition of Thomas Geve’s memoir, Guns…
Performance evaluation of the MPE-iFEC Sliding RS Encoding for DVB-H streaming services
2008
This article studies the performance of the Sliding RS Encoding (SRSE) in the transmission of streaming services in DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting - Transmission System for Handheld Terminals) networks. The SRSE forms part of a set of specifications called MPE-iFEC which has been recently defined in the DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite Services to Handheld Devices) standard and is fully compatible with the link layer of DVB-H. MPE-iFEC is capable of encoding information related to different datagram bursts in a jointly manner in order to counteract the long signal blockages expected in satellite reception. This is what is usually referred to as Multi-Burst Encoding (MBE) an…
Multi-resolution quality-based video coding system for DASH scenarios
2021
Today, more than 85% of Internet traffic has a multimedia component. Video streaming occupies a large part of this percentage mainly because this type of content is provided by the most used applications on the Internet (e.g. Twitch, TikTok, Disney+, YouTube, Netflix, etc.). Most of these platforms use HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) to send this media content to end users in order to ensure a good quality of experience (QoE). But, this QoE should be guaranteed from the video to be transmitted, i.e., the video should have an adequate quality by minimizing the bitrate before transmission. In order to solve this issue, we present a system capable of encoding a video in several resolutions given…
Verbal and academic skills in children with early-onset type 1 diabetes
2010
Aim Basic verbal and academic skills can be adversely affected by early-onset diabetes, although these skills have been studied less than other cognitive functions. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of learning deficits in children with diabetes by assessing basic verbal and academic skills in children with early-onset diabetes and in comparison children. In addition, the incidence of dyslexia (≤10th centile in reading speed or reading–spelling accuracy) was studied. Method The performance of 51 children with early-onset diabetes (25 females, 26 males; mean age 9y 11mo, SD 4mo; range 9–10y) was compared with that of 92 children without diabetes (40 females, 52 males; mean age 9y 1…

La palabra como acontecimiento: Segunda República, Guerra Civil y posguerra en la novela actual (1990-2010)
2013
Esta tesis analiza las representaciones de la Segunda República, la Guerra Civil y la posguerra en un corpus de novelas, escritas entre 1990 y 2010, relacionadas con el “fenómeno de la memoria”. En este trabajo se entiende por “fenómeno de la memoria” o “cultura de la memoria” la forma predominante como las sociedades occidentales se han relacionado con el pasado durante las últimas décadas. Este fenómeno internacional comporta una intensa preocupación por la memoria, el pasado y los testigos de acontecimientos traumáticos. Dicho proceso posee unas características propias en España, y se ha manifestado de forma preeminente en la literatura, que constituye por ello un espacio privilegiado pa…
Matèria de Bretanya, de Carmelina Sánchez-Cutillas, en el context de la literatura autobiogràfica contemporània
2013
En aquest article ens proposem situar, interpretar i valorar Matèria de Bretanya dins la producció autobiogràfica catalana més recent. Per tal de satisfer aquest objectiu abordarem, de bon principi, la problemàtica i sempre discutible qüestió del gènere d’aquesta obra. Sense voluntat de perdre’ns entre teoritzacions estèrils però amb la intenció de posar de manifest la filiació de Matèria de Bretanya amb les formes de literatura del jo, mirarem de fer dialogar el relat de Sánchez-Cutillas amb algunes obres coetànies, especialment valencianes, que posaran en relleu l’existència d’una línia d’escriptura memorialística ben personal que arrenca amb Matèria de Bretanya i arriba fins a l’actualit…
Censura 2.0 y Holocausto: el control de contenidos y su impacto en la imagen transnacional del genocidio nazi
2015
En los sistemas democráticos que imperan en occidente, la censura stricto sensu está prohibida. Sin embargo, la revolución digital ha impulsado la aprobación de normas para la supervisión, el filtrado y el bloqueo de contenido que restringen la difusión de información. El proceso es singularmente alarmante cuando opera por medio de la traducción, ya que es en ella en quien, en un mundo cada vez más globalizado, recae la responsabilidad de materializar el contacto entre culturas. Partiendo de los conflictos que crean las diferentes leyes que criminalizan la negación del Holocausto, analizaremos el impacto del control de contenidos en la imagen transnacional del hecho histórico, que varía en …
