Existence de points fixes enlacés à une orbite périodique d'un homéomorphisme du plan
1992
Let f be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the plane such that f-Id is contracting. Under these hypotheses, we establish the existence, for every periodic orbit, of a fixed point which has nonzero linking number with this periodic orbit.
Uncertainty quantification on a spatial Markov-chain model for the progression of skin cancer
2019
AbstractA spatial Markov-chain model is formulated for the progression of skin cancer. The model is based on the division of the computational domain into nodal points, that can be in a binary state: either in ‘cancer state’ or in ‘non-cancer state’. The model assigns probabilities for the non-reversible transition from ‘non-cancer’ state to the ‘cancer state’ that depend on the states of the neighbouring nodes. The likelihood of transition further depends on the life burden intensity of the UV-rays that the skin is exposed to. The probabilistic nature of the process and the uncertainty in the input data is assessed by the use of Monte Carlo simulations. A good fit between experiments on mi…
Democracia, argumentación e ideologías jurídicas | Democracy, Argumentation and Legal Ideologies
2016
RESUMEN. Este trabajo analiza la relacion de la democracia y la argumentacion juridica desde diversas perspectivas. En primer lugar, desde un punto de vista externo, que apunta al fundamento politico y moral de las corrientes argumentativas dentro de la Filosofia del Derecho. En segundo lugar, aborda esta relacion desde un punto de vista interno, analizando el papel del principio democratico en el marco de un modelo general de racionalidad argumentativa. Y, por ultimo, pretende hacer una caracterizacion de las teorias/ideologias juridicas en el contexto de la democracia constitucional. ABSTRACT. This paper analyzes from varied perspectives the relation between democracy and legal argumentat…
Derecho de acceso a la información : el desafío de una sociedad guiada por la transparencia en el ordenamiento jurídico español
2021
This study will address the two aspects of rights linked to information, the right to information and the right to information, to end with the formulation of some conclusions that, distancing themselves from a mere summary, seek to encourage doctrinal and political debate on assumptions that, being peacefully settled, should be reformulated in light of the repeated crisis of transparency. For this, it will be articulated by addressing, first, the most significant aspects of the right to information and its link with the right to freedom of expression, as well as the new challenges that these rights face in the digital age, to then analyze the right to information, its regulation in the Spa…
Measurements of underlying-event properties using neutral and charged particles in pp collisions at root s=900 GeV and root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS de…
2011
We present first measurements of charged and neutral particle-flow correlations in pp collisions using the ATLAS calorimeters. Data were collected in 2009 and 2010 at centre-of-mass energies of 900 GeV and 7 TeV. Events were selected using a minimum-bias trigger which required a charged particle in scintillation counters on either side of the interaction point. Particle flows, sensitive to the underlying event, are measured using clusters of energy in the ATLAS calorimeters, taking advantage of their fine granularity. No Monte Carlo generator used in this analysis can accurately describe the measurements. The results are independent of those based on charged particles measured by the ATLAS …
Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation and Study of Diabetic Nephropathy with Atrasentan : what …
2019
Albuminuria; Atrasentan; Canagliflozin Albuminuria; Atrasentan; Canagliflozina Albuminúria; Atrasentan; Canagliflozina In April 2019, two major Phase 3 randomized clinical trials were published that assessed primary renal outcomes in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes with Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation (CREDENCE) tested an already available antidiabetic drug, canagliflozin, and the Study of Diabetic Nephropathy with Atrasentan (SONAR) tested a novel molecule, the endothelin-1 receptor blocker atrasentan, both on top of renin-angiotensin system blockade. Both trials demonstrated significant nephroprot…
Fixed Points for Multivalued Convex Contractions on Nadler Sense Types in a Geodesic Metric Space
2019
In 1969, based on the concept of the Hausdorff metric, Nadler Jr. introduced the notion of multivalued contractions. He demonstrated that, in a complete metric space, a multivalued contraction possesses a fixed point. Later on, Nadler&rsquo
An Immunogenic Peptide Derived from NM23-H2 Is Expressed on Bcr/abl+ Cells.
2006
Abstract Objective: Most tumors express antigens which, when presented by MHC molecules, can be recognized by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. These tumor-associated-antigens (TAA) are considered to be key determinants in the graft-versus-tumor effect after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and are therefore potential candidates for tumor vaccination. Unfortunately only small numbers of TAA have been isolated to date. In this project we looked for immunogenic peptides presented by bcr/abl+ cells of an HLA-A32 CML patient. Methods: Leukemia-specific mixed lymphocyte leukemia cell cultures (MLLC) were generated by co-culturing irradiated bcr/abl+ cells from the patient with peripher…
Identification of a Novel Pathway in BCR/ABL Signal Transduction Involving Akt-Independent Activation of PLC-gamma/mTOR/p70-S6K.
2006
Abstract In BCR/ABL positive CML, defining new, additional therapeutic targets in the pathways, activated by BCR/ABL is critical for the development of new treatment strategies, especially for patients resistant or refractory to Imatinib. While studying the involvement of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in the development of such resistance we have uncovered the existence of additional, Akt-independent mechanism of activation of mTOR/p70-S6 Kinase pathway. Short term treatment with Imatinib (1μM, 4 hours) of the BCR/ABL-positive cell lines LAMA84, AR320, KCL22, K562, Ba/F3-BCR/ABL caused downregulation of p70-S6K phosphorylation and of S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation without decreasing…
Constitutive and regulated α-secretase cleavage of Alzheimer’s amyloid precursor protein by a disintegrin metalloprotease
1999
Amyloid β peptide (Aβ), the principal proteinaceous component of amyloid plaques in brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients, is derived by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Proteolytic cleavage of APP by a putative α-secretase within the Aβ sequence precludes the formation of the amyloidogenic peptides and leads to the release of soluble APPsα into the medium. By overexpression ofa disintegrinandmetalloprotease (ADAM), classified as ADAM 10, in HEK 293 cells, basal and protein kinase C-stimulated α-secretase activity was increased severalfold. The proteolytically activated form of ADAM 10 was localized by cell surface biotinylation in the plasma membrane, but the m…
