Palaeontological Heritage: protected vs. unprotected areas. The case of Clot de Galvany Municipal Natural Park and Elche reservoir surroundings
2019
Concerning palaeontological and geological heritage of a particular place, being or not being under legal protection influences its preservation. As two examples, cases of Clot de Galvany Municipal Natural Park and Elche reservoir surroundings are exposed. Developed by the Palaeontologic Museum of Elche, Project FOPALI assessment methodology has been applied.
INTEGRACIÓN DE LA MEDIACION EN LA JUSTICIA PENAL. SUPUESTOS ESPECIALES (Integration of Criminal Mediation in Criminal Justice. Some Special Cases)
2014
Spanish Abstract: En el momento actual que vivimos hablar de mediacion penal es ya una realidad incuestionable. Una mirada al pasado nos lleva a afirmar que no siempre fue asi y que la evolucion de este devenir no ha sido un camino de rosas. Antes al contrario, su entendimiento, aceptacion e incorporacion a los ordenamientos juridicos fue mucho mas lenta que en el ambito de lo disponible -civil, mercantil, laboral etc- e incluso todavia hay determinados ordenamientos en los que existe una gran resistencia a su aceptacion, siendo especialmente significativo en alguno de ellos, como por ejemplo Japon, que viene arrastrando una larga historia cultural de mediacion civil, comercial, social, sie…
Franchisors' disclosure duty: market transparency and franchisee protection
2014
The franchisee is usually the most vulnerable part of the franchise relationship, and should therefore receive greater protection from the legal framework. In this regard, the franchisor's pre-contractual disclosure duty has evolved in its legal status. Whereas its original purpose was to ensure transparency in the market, it now serves to protect the franchisee. In this paper, we compare the franchisor's obligations established by the legal framework in Spain with those set out in the Model Law drawn up by The International Institute for the Unification of Private Law.
Legally protected cultural goods and bankruptcy proceedings
2020
This paper deals with general problems of legal aims of bankruptcy proceedings in connection with the aims of heritage protection – issues built by completely different systems of values. Bankruptcy is designed for protecting pecuniary interest of a limited group of people, while cultural heritage is protected for present and future generations, despite its current commercial significance. In the global environment, bankruptcy of a cultural goods owner usually has a cross-border range but national bankruptcy legislations and laws devoted to heritage protection differ in very serious aspects. For this reason the paper is not limited to any concrete legal order. There are discussed some impor…
Supplementary Ultraviolet-B Radiation Induces a Rapid Reversal of the Diadinoxanthin Cycle in the Strong Light-Exposed DiatomPhaeodactylum tricornutu…
2002
AbstractA treatment of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum with high light (HL) in the visible range led to the conversion of diadinoxanthin (Dd) to diatoxanthin (Dt). In a following treatment with HL plus supplementary ultraviolet (UV)-B, the Dt was rapidly epoxidized to Dd. Photosynthesis of the cells was inhibited under HL + UV-B. This is accounted for by direct damage by UV-B and damage because of the UV-B-induced reversal of the Dd cycle and the associated loss of photoprotection. The reversal of the Dd cycle by UV-B was faster in the presence of dithiothreitol, an inhibitor of the Dd de-epoxidase. Our results imply that the reversal of the Dd cycle by HL + UV-B was caused by an incre…
Light transmission and ultraviolet protection of contact lenses under artificial illumination
2016
Purpose: To determine the spectral transmission of contact lenses (CLs), with and without an ultraviolet (UV) filter to evaluate their capacity for protection under UV radiation from artificial illumination (incandescent, fluorescent, xenon (Xe) lamps, or white LEDs (light-emitting diode)). Methods: The transmission curves of nine soft CLs were obtained by using a PerkinElmer Lambda 35 UV-vis spectrophotometer. A CIE standard was used for the emission spectra of incandescent and fluorescent lamps, and Xe lamps and white LEDs were measured by using an International Light Technologies ILT-950 spectroradiometer. Results: Five of the nine soft CLs analysed state that they incorporate UV filters…

Design optimization for the quench protection of DTT's superconducting toroidal field magnets
2021
Abstract The paper is focused on the optimal design of Fast Discharge Unit (FDU) for the quench protection of the Toroidal Field (TF) magnets of the Divertor Tokamak Test facility (DTT), an experimental facility under construction in ENEA Frascati Research Centre (Rome, Italy). The FDU is a safety key component that protects the superconducting magnets when a quench is detected through the fast extraction of the energy stored in the magnets by adding a discharge dump resistor (DR) in the TF magnets circuit. A comparison between a fixed DR and a switched variable DR has been implemented by changing resistor parameters and by using multiple current control of the power electronics components …
¿Qué perspectivas para las lenguas regionales de Francia?
2014
Nous étudions, dans ce travail, la situation de langues en contact en France et les politiques linguistiques qui ont été menées depuis que le français a été institué langue officielle du pays, afin de déterminer les perspectives de reconnaissance nationale qui existent pour les autres langues, encore sans statut officiel. Le traitement exclusivement national qu’elles ont reçu jusqu’à la fin du XXe siècle se heurte aujourd’hui à la position de défense et de protection des langues régionales de l’Union Européenne. Nous analyserons les deux approches, nationale et européenne, avant de conclure en termes d’attentes pour ces langues minoritaires. We study in this work the situation of the langua…
Conversion of biliverdin to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase contributes to endothelial cell protection by heme oxygenase-1—evidence for direct and …
2009
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is highly protective in various pathophysiological states such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. HO-1-derived bilirubin is an efficient scavenger of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). It remains to determine whether conversion of biliverdin to bilirubin is an essential step for HO-1-conferred protection of endothelial cells. RONS scavenging activities of biliverdin versus bilirubin were assessed by different RONS generating systems and detection techniques. We also silenced the biliverdin reductase (BVR) or HO-1 gene in cultured primary human endothelial cells (HUVECs) and measured the effect on RONS formation upon stimulation with lipopolys…
