On subjective (and intensifier) I think (that) in parliamentary debate sessions
2018
This paper presents a behavioral analysis of the doxastic form creo (que) as a subjectification modal verb, specifically in its manifestation as a pragmatic intensifier device in a Spanish parliamentary debate. Previous work on creo (que) has suggested that it is indeed an intensifier (Fuentes 2010, Brenes 2015, Cuenca 2015), although many pragmatic approaches to these doxastic verbal forms, not only in the context of Spanish (Hennemann 2012; Albelda, Briz, Cestero, Kotwica y Villalba 2014) but also from other languages (Lakoff 1972; Hooper 1975; Lysvag 1975; Fraser 1975, 1980; Holmes 1984; Caffi 1999, 2004), have classified creo (que) as a marker of attenuation. The goal of this investigat…
Aproximadores y atenuadores en el español de Chile: el caso de 'como' y 'como que'
2019
This article analyses the use of the approximators como and como que in Chilean Spanish, and the link between their approximative semantic value and pragmatic mitigation. Previous works have given the marker como an approximative value (Mihatsch, 2009, 2010; Jørgensen and Stenstrøm 2009; Jørgensen, 2011; Holmvik, 2011; Kornfeld, 2013; Kern, 2014; Jiménez and Flores-Ferrán, 2018), and also a mitigating one (Puga, 1997; Briz, 1998; Jørgensen, 2011; Holmvik, 2011; Kornfeld, 2013, Panussis, 2016; Mondaca, 2017; Panussis and San Martín, 2017). Thus, the objective here is to analyze the relationship between semantic approximation and pragmatic mitigation through these particles, in order to estab…

Influence of MeV H+ ion beam flux on cross-linking and blister formation in PMMA resist
2012
In soft lithography, a pattern is produced in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer by casting from a master mould. The mould can be made of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) resist by utilising either its positive or negative tone induced by an ion beam. Here we have investigated the irradiation conditions for achieving complete cross-linking and absence of blister formation in PMMA so that its negative characteristic can be used in making master moulds. PMMA thin films approximately 9 µm thick on Si were deposited by spin coating. The 2-MeV H+ ion beam was generated using a 1.7-MV tandem Tandetron accelerator. The beam was collimated to a 500×500 µm2 cross section using programmable proxi…
Hollandaise sauce and the chemistry behind old and new preparation techniques
2013
Hollandaise sauce has been part of western gastronomy since 1593. Being both an emulsion and a foam, it is a good educational platform for heterophasic systems. Preparing Hollandaise sauce generally includes two phases: forming the foam and forming the emulsion. The sauce is a challenging product and fails easily. Improved preparation techniques have been introduced throughout history. This work combines food historical, scientific and educational perspectives to Hollandaise sauce and introduces an experimental setup to compare the quality of sauces prepared with different techniques.
Del caballero épico al caballero novelesco: acercamiento a la evolución del personaje
2009
En este artículo se revisarán las paulatinas transformaciones que sufrió el caballero literario medieval a partir de su nacimiento en la canción de gesta y hasta su consolidación como personaje protagonista de las obras más representativas de la novela de caballerías medieval. Partiendo de la configuración del caballero épico románico, se analizan las características que se le van agregando a partir de los romans de materia clásica, como el interés amoroso, para convertirlo en un personaje novelesco y ya plenamente cortés en Chrétien de Troyes. Se llega hasta la prosa de ficción del siglo XIII, en la que se acaba de redondear la figura con los rasgos aportados por la religión y la ideología.
ULTRASOUND-ASSISTED AND ENZYME-ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF FRUCTANS AND PHENOLICS FROM PARSNIP (PASTINACA SATIVA L.)
2019
Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa L.) is a vegetable that gained attention due to its significant content of fructans, besides macronutrients and other biologically active compounds. The major compound of fructan class is inulin, an ingredient with prebiotic properties used in pharmaceutical and functional food industries. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the extraction yield of fructans and phenolics in fresh and dried parsnip root following non-conventional techniques (ultrasound and enzyme -assisted extraction) and to compare it to that of the traditional method. Extraction was performed in water, as eco-friendly solvent. Ultrasound-assisted extraction was optimized for different e…
Building natural science learning through youth science camps
2018
This study focuses on a youth science camp for pupils in sixth to ninth grades that is organized annually by the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The main idea of the science camp is to learn to do guided inquiry in nature. The study investigates the significance of science camp for encouraging young participants to learn science and how the camp supports their learning. The research method used was a survey. Altogether, 47 youth participated in the camp in 2012 and 2013. The results show that the participants wanted to learn more about science than secondary school could offer, and science camp had a positive impact on their interest in science. It was possible to introduce important conc…

Disease dispersion as a spatial interaction: The case of Flavescence Dorée
2020
International audience; Flavescence dorée is a serious and incurable vine disease transmitted by an insect vector. Focusing on its spatial diffusion and on its control with pesticides, this paper investigates the private strategies of wine producers and their socially optimal counterparts. The socially optimal regulation has to address two externalities regarding private treatment decisions: (a) the insufficient consideration of collective benefits from controlling the vector populations; (b) the failure to take into account environmental damage related to pesticide application. The probability of infection is estimated on French data from a spatial econometric specification. Three alternat…
