Applying functional analysis for studying intimately violent men
2008
Psicothema
2011
Resumen tomado de la publicación Los estudios sobre antecedentes y consecuencias del mobbing han empleado mayoritariamente diseños transversales, lo cual impide determinar la causalidad de las relaciones. En este trabajo se analizó, mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, la relación entre el mobbing y algunas variables consideradas antecedentes (conflictos interpersonales, conflicto de rol, ambigüedad de rol y apoyo social) o consecuencias (problemas de salud e inclinación al absentismo) del fenómeno. Estudio multicéntrico y longitudinal con dos etapas. 696 trabajadores distribuidos en 66 centros de asistencia a la discapacidad participaron en el estudio. El mobbing se evaluó mediant…

Actitud emprendedora y proyectos de vida en contexto vulnerable: un acercamiento con estudiantes de secundaria en San Juan de la Maguana
2017
Las condiciones de vida, las circunstancias y las expectativas de cada individuo son determinantes en los logros de cada persona, una aproximación la tenemos en la realidad que viven los jóvenes en República Dominicana al afrontar sus dificultades. Nuestros jóvenes hoy día se encuentran frente a un escenario de violencia desafiante, situación manifiesta y objetivable a través de diarios de circulación nacional, redes sociales y estudios de investigación, además de vivencias directas en nuestro centro de trabajo, como por ejemplo casos de agresión física y verbal entre nuestros propios estudiantes. Esta situación de deterioro y menoscabo del tejido social, tal como se ve expresada a diario e…
High-Reynolds-number turbulent cavity flow using the lattice Boltzmann method
2018
We present a boundary condition scheme for the lattice Boltzmann method that has significantly improved stability for modeling turbulent flows while maintaining excellent parallel scalability. Simulations of a three-dimensional lid-driven cavity flow are found to be stable up to the unprecedented Reynolds number $\mathrm{Re}=5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{4}$ for this setup. Excellent agreement with energy balance equations, computational and experimental results are shown. We quantify rises in the production of turbulence and turbulent drag, and determine peak locations of turbulent production.
AN EXPERIMENTAL WORKFLOW FOR THE VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF ANCIENT STATUES
2021
The work aims to investigate the main steps of a virtual reconstruction process of ancient statues, inspecting theoretical and technical approaches. Two fragmentary Roman statues from the "Sanctuary of Isis", inside the Archaeological Park of Lilibeo-Marsala (Italy), were chosen as a case study. Trying to preserve the original artwork authenticity and the transparency of the reconstruction method, a workflow was developed following three steps: 1) 3D survey and reality based model production; 2) evaluation of reconstruction hypotheses based on a rigorous selection of reference sources; 3) 3D modelling and source-based model creation. Three models for multiple visualization purposes were car…
Damping Provision by Different Virtual Synchronous Machine Schemes
2020
The adoption of virtual synchronous machine (VSM) schemes for the control of power converters is gaining more and more attention both in academia and industry. The VSM control strategies fall into the category of grid-forming converter controls, and they are intended for a range of different applications, providing specific services and different kinds of support to the grid. The paper investigates the possibility of damping provision to the system by VSM power converters. Different schemes are considered and compared, showing the opportunity of the investigated solutions through combined modal and time domain analyses. A specific modification of the power synchronization loop is recognized…
Data from: Impact of host nutritional status on infection dynamics and parasite virulence in a bird-malaria system
2013
1. Host resources can drive the optimal parasite exploitation strategy by offering a good or a poor environment to pathogens. Hosts living in resource-rich habitats might offer a favourable environment to developing parasites because they provide a wealth of resources. However, hosts living in resource-rich habitats might afford a higher investment into costly immune defences providing an effective barrier against infection. Understanding how parasites can adapt to hosts living in habitats of different quality is a major challenge in the light of the current human-driven environmental changes. 2. We studied the role of nutritional resources as a source of phenotypic variation in host exploi…
The interplay between the host microbiome and pathogenic viral infections
2021
The microorganisms associated with an organism, the microbiome, have a strong and wide impact in their host biology. In particular, the microbiome modulates both the host defense responses and immunity, thus influencing the fate of infections by pathogens. Indeed, this immune modulation and/or interaction with pathogenic viruses can be essential to define the outcome of viral infections. Understanding the interplay between the microbiome and pathogenic viruses opens future venues to fight viral infections and enhance the efficacy of antiviral therapies. An increasing number of researchers are focusing on microbiome-virus interactions, studying diverse combinations of microbial communities, …
Vaginal infection of mice with HSV type 2 variant ER−: A new animal model for human primary genital HSV type 2 infections
1992
Abstract Studying the pathogenesis of vaginal infections in mice with two variants of Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) strain ER we observed that both variants ER+ and ER− caused severe vaginitis but only ER+ invaded the CNS leading to lethal neurological disease. In contrast, mice infected with ER− cleared the virus from the vagina and recovered from infection. ER+ and ER− expressed equal levels of thymidine kinase (TK) indicating a TK-independent difference in neurovirulence. Using the non-neurovirulent variant ER−, we were able to investigate humoral immune responses late after infection. Vaginal infection with ER− suppressed serum antibody formation after a secondary systemic HSV-1 i…
