Beaches in Valencian Coast
2018
The main factors that determined the Valencian beaches characteristics are the configuration of relief structures; fluvial sediment supply; low tidal range; the predominance of low energy waves; scarcity of big storms; longshore littoral drift; and human action. There is a significant prevalence of sandy beaches. Nevertheless, both at the northern part of the Gulf of Valencia and in the structural segment, between the Cape Sant Antoni and Alicante city, pebble and gravel beaches are predominant. Most of the Valencian beaches have experienced significant morphological changes during the last decades due to the human interventions -voluntary or involuntary- in the coastal system. The implemen…
Dynamics of sediments along with their core properties in the Monastir-Bekalta coastline (Tunisia, Central Mediterranean)
2017
International audience; The authors report on two campaigns of high-resolution samplings along the shores of Monastir Bay in Tunisia: the first being a study of sediment dynamics, grain size and mineral composition in surface sediment, and the second, eight months later, using four sediment cores to study grain-size distribution in bottom sediments. Particle size analysis of superficial sediment shows that the sand in shallow depths is characterized by S-shaped curves, indicating a certain degree of agitation, possible transport by rip currents near the bottom and hyperbolic curves illustrating heterogeneity of sand stock. The sediments settle in a relatively calm environment. Along the bay…
Aportaciones documentales sobre cruces de orfebrería valencianas. Siglos XIV y XV
2020
The article intends to make a contribution of new documentary references, from the notarial funds of the Valencian archives, in which news about parish crosses and Lignum Crucis from the silversmith center of Valencia during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries are collected. The importance of these typologies lies in being the main elements of Christian worship, so it was an essential piece in each parish that allowed the provision in them of models of varied typology and functionality; for that reason they are conserved from altar crosses, cross-shaped reliquaries ?known as Lignum Crucis or Veracruz ?to processional crosses, larger and representative of the parish community to which it …
Loss of virulence in Ustilago maydis by Umchs6 gene disruption
2003
A gene encoding a sixth chitin synthase (Umchs6, sequence GenBank accession No. AF030554) from the plant pathogenic hemibasidiomycete Ustilago maydis (DC.) Cda. was isolated and characterized. The predicted protein is 1103 amino acids in length with a calculated molecular mass of 123.5 kDa. a2b2 null mutants were obtained by substitution of a central fragment of the Umchs6 gene with the hygromycin resistance cassette, and a1b1 null mutants were obtained by genetic recombination in plants of an a2b2Δch6 and a wild-type a1b1 strain. The mutation had no effect on the dimorphic transition in vitro or on mating, and growth rate of the mutants was only slightly reduced. On the other hand, they di…
Patskaņu izrunas īpatnības skotu angļu valodā (korpusā SCOTS)
2018
Skotijas vēsture un pašreizējie apstākļi ir multilingvāli un tur lietotā angļu valoda atšķiras no citur lietotajām angļu valodas paveidiem ar tās izrunas modeli. Šī darba mērķis ir patskaņu izpēte skotu standarta angļu valodā, lai raksturotu tās patskaņu sistēmu salīdzinājumā ar standarta britu angļu valodu un novērotu kādas iespējamās līdzības. Šī mērķa sasniegšanai izmantotā metode ir patskaņu formantu akustiskā kvantitatīvā analīze, kurai paraugi ņemti no Skotu Tekstu un Runas Korpusa (Scottish Corpus of Texts&Speech). Pētījuma rezultāti atklāj, ka skotu angļu valodas lietotājiem ir atšķirīgi patskaņu inventāri un patskaņu artikulācijas veids var atšķirties starp dažādām lietotāju grupām…
Successful Topical Application of Caspofungin in the Treatment of Fungal Keratitis Refractory to Voriconazole
2010
Fungal keratitis is an important ophthalmic problem because it leads to corneal blindness and sometimes to loss of the eye.1,2 There is no agreed protocol for the treatment of suspected fungal keratitis. Topical and oral voriconazole have now been reported to be effective.3 However, some cases do not respond to this treatment. New antifungal agents such as caspofungin acetate, 0.5%, are promising alternatives

Exilic/Idyllic Shakespeare: Reiterating Pericles in Jacques Rivette’s Paris nous appartient
2015
Jacques Rivette’s Paris nous appartient (1961) is about a literature student, Anne Goupil, who becomes involved with a group of bohemians centering around the absent figure of Spanish musician, Juan. The film incorporates the attempt by theatre director Gérard Lenz – in many ways a simulacrum of Rivette himself – to stage Pericles, even though this is a play that he himself defines as “incoherent” and “unplayable.” This essay explores the significance of this incorporation, and shows how the reiterated, fragmentary rehearsals of this “unplayable” play are essential to an understanding of the (disjointed) logic of the film as well as the atmosphere of conspiracy it continually evokes. It als…
Il corpo sessuato delle dee. Agricoltura, pastorizia e mondo vegetale nella Mesopotamia antica
2021
Divine love is the central theme of many ancient Mesopotamian compositions. Both Sumerian and Akkadian texts poetically describe the love and sexual relationship between gods. The object of this study is to analyze the metaphorical language used to describe divine love relationships, focusing in particular on the use of images from agriculture, pastoralism, and the plant world. Such metaphors contribute to the creation and at the same time to the reinforcement of a sexual imaginary, not only divine but also human. Divine sexuality and the metaphors used to describe it would, over the millennia, become paradigms for understanding and thinking about human sexuality: male power and vigor, fema…
Music making software programs for children from ages five to twelve
2010
This research classifies the qualities in the existing music creation software programs that enable them to be operated by young users. This is done through comparison of the literature on musical development of children and the examination of the existing software. For the research were selected three fundamentally different pieces of music creation software that potentially provide a wide variety of features. The selected programs are GarageBand, Songsmith and Groovy Music. Each of the three programs has its own strengths in benefiting children s musical development in different ages. What all programs share is the ease of use and a clear interface. Icons of the functions help navigating …
