Alimentación y salud en la Valencia medieval. Teorías y prácticas
2013
The aim of this article is to provide an initial survey about the relationship between food habits and health in a Mediterranean city during the Late Middle Ages, by comparing medical treatises, gastronomic recipes and the archival sources that tell us about the actual expenses in food. Through this comparison, and by using accounting records of aristocratic houses, merchant enterprises, convents and hospitals, we can observe the dietary guidelines that were applied, and their concordance with the galenic principles of University medicine. Moreover, we attempt to assess what were the key factors in the evolution of these theories’ guidelines, and how they were probably rather a way to appro…
Unveiling the nature of six HMXBs through IR spectroscopy
2008
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophyiscs Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is discovering a large number of new hard X-ray sources, many of them being HMXBs. The identification and spectral characterization of their optical/infrared counterparts is a necessary step to undertake detailed study of these systems. In particular, the determination of the spectral type is crucial in the case of the new class of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), which show X-ray properties common to other objects. We used the ESO/NTT SofI spectrograph to observe proposed IR counterparts to HMXBs, obtaining Ks medium resolution spectra (R = 1320) with a S/N >= 100. We classified them through comparison with publishe…
La recepción del modelo clásico en Mallorca. El oficio de escultor y la arquitectura (siglos XVI y XVII)
2012
En el presente artículo se expone el estado de la cuestión de la recepción del humanismo y del arte renacentista en Mallorca, a partir del cual se introducen nuevos datos documentales que permiten una mejor comprensión de la toma de conciencia de los escultores frente al modelo clásico y del nuevo papel que desempeñaron en la creación arquitectónica. In this paper, an updated explanation of the humanism and Renaissance art reception in Majorca is discussed. From this point of view, new documentary data are introduced for a better understanding about the sculptors’ awareness of the classic model and their new role in architectural creation.
iTeXMac: An Integrated TeX Environment for Mac OS X
2004
iTeXMac is an integrated suite of three major components: a text editor detailed in section 2, a PDF viewer detailed in section 3, and a TeX front end detailed in section 4. Some notes on installation are followed by remarks concerning inter-application communication in section 6 for other Mac OS X developers. Finally, the pdfsync feature and the TeX Wrapper are discussed in sections 7 and 8. Since they concern the synchronization between the TeX source and PDF output, and a definition for a shared TeX document structure, both will certainly interest the whole TeX community.
Le lyrisme ouvert de Jean-Michel Maulpoix: de Locturnes à Domaine public

Estudio del lirismo en poemarios de Jean-Michel Maulpoix: desde Locturnes (1978) hasta Domaine public (1998).
Chest electrical impedance tomography examination, data analysis, terminology, clinical use and recommendations: consensus statement of the translati…
2017
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has undergone 30 years of development. Functional chest examinations with this technology are considered clinically relevant, especially for monitoring regional lung ventilation in mechanically ventilated patients and for regional pulmonary function testing in patients with chronic lung diseases. As EIT becomes an established medical technology, it requires consensus examination, nomenclature, data analysis and interpretation schemes. Such consensus is needed to compare, understand and reproduce study findings from and among different research groups, to enable large clinical trials and, ultimately, routine clinical use. Recommendations of how EIT findi…
Polymorphisms in endothelin system genes, arsenic levels and obesity risk.
2015
Background/objectivesObesity has been linked to morbidity and mortality through increased risk for many chronic diseases. Endothelin (EDN) system has been related to endothelial function but it can be involved in lipid metabolism regulation: Receptor type A (EDNRA) activates lipolysis in adipocytes, the two endothelin receptors mediate arsenic-stimulated adipocyte dysfunction, and endothelin system can regulate adiposity by modulating adiponectin activity in different situations and, therefore, influence obesity development. The aim of the present study was to analyze if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the EDN system could be associated with human obesity.Subjects/methodsWe analyz…
CBCT location of the fusion between the buccal and lingual cortical in the mandibular ramus : importance to sagittal split osteotomy
2016
Background Mandibular Sagittal Split Osteotomy (MSSO) is a popular technique in orthognathic surgery used both to advance and to retreat the mandible. However, MSSO may incur in important complications, such as bad splits and sensorineural injuries. Knowing the location of the fusion between the buccal and lingual cortical (FBLC) in the mandibular ramus and the bone thickness in the region where osteotomies will be performed is determinant in MSSO planning to avoid complications. The aim of this study was to document and evaluate possible differences between sexes regarding the location of the FBLC in relation to the superior cortical of mandibular foramen (MF) and bone thickness in the reg…
Structural and Vibrational Properties of Corundum-type In2O3 Nanocrystals under Compression
2017
[EN] This work reports the structural and vibrational properties of nanocrystals of corundum-type In2O3 (rh-In2O3) at high pressures by using angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements up to 30 GPa. The equation of state and the pressure dependence of the Raman-active modes of the corundum phase in nanocrystals are in good agreement with previous studies on bulk material and theoretical simulations on bulk rh-In2O3. Nanocrystalline rh-In2O3 showed stability under compression at least up to 20 GPa, unlike bulk rh-In2O3 which gradually transforms to the orthorhombic Pbca (Rh2O3-III-type) structure above 12 14 GPa. The different stability range found in nanocrystallin…
Catalytic oxidation of n-hexane promoted by Ce1-xCuxO2 catalysts prepared by one-step polymeric precursor method
2013
Abstract Ceria-supported copper catalysts (Ce1−xCuxO2, with x (mol) = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.10) were prepared in one step through the polymeric precursor method. The textural properties of the catalysts were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, N2-physisorption (BET surface area), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), UV–visible diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectroscopies and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). In a previous study ceria-supported copper catalysts were found to be efficient in the preferential oxidation of CO. In this study, we extended the catalytic application of Ce1−xCuxO2 systems to n-hexane oxidation and it was verified tha…
