Cuticular hydrocarbon profiles in Blattella germanica: effects of halofenozide, boric acid and benfuracarb
2006
1379-1176 (Print) Journal Article; In order to complete previous studies conducted on Blattella germanica, three insecticides from different groups were evaluated: boric acid, an inorganic compound, benfuracarb, a carbamate, and halofenozide, a non-steroidal ecdysone agonist. Boric acid (8.20%, LD50) and benfuracarb (2%, LD50) were incorporated into the diet and orally administrated to newly emerged adults of both sexes, while halofenozide (0.33%, LD50) was applied topically. Hydrocarbons extracts was made on bidistilled pentane from control and treated series sampled 6 days following treatment. Extracts was analyzed by gas chromatography. Data showed that cuticular profiles of control and …
Moderating effects of appreciation on relationships between illegitimate tasks and intrinsic motivation: a two-wave shortitudinal study
2020
This study investigated possible reciprocal relationships between illegitimate tasks and intrinsic motivation and whether appreciation moderated these relationships. Based on a two-wave panel study...
Media coverage about organisations in critical situations – Analysing the impact on employees.
2013
Purpose– This research aims to investigate how critical media coverage of an organisation affects its employees. The authors expect the effects to be similar to the way media coverage about an individual would affect this person, termed “reciprocal effects”.Design/methodology/approach– Drawing on a framework for the analysis of reciprocal effects of mass media by Kepplinger and qualitative interviews among employees of 14 different organisations undergoing a crisis, the authors develop an employee-model of reciprocal effects for the context of organisational crises.Findings– This qualitative research shows that employees are affected by media coverage on a critical issue about their employe…
Hold up and intergenerational transmission of preferences
2004
This paper focuses on the formation, evolution and stability of the distribution of preferences in the population and its relationship with the investment and bargaining strategies in a simplified hold up problem. More precisely, in our model a population of infinitely-lived players (say, for example, firms) with homogeneous selfish or self-regarding preferences is pair-wise matched at each period with a population of an equal size of short-lived players (say, for example, workers) with heterogeneous preferences. Both types of player play a two-stage game. In the first stage, they decide separately but simultaneously whether to make a general or a relation-specific investment. The latter ty…
Els esgrafiats de la Cartoixa de Valldecrist. Una proposta de reconstrucció
2010
Las cartujas valencianas, en particular las de Aracristi, Portaceli y Valldecrist, adoptaron en sus interiores vistosas ornamentaciones a base de esgrafiados en el segundo tercio del siglo XVII. Técnica que, por lo que respecta a la fundación de Serra, se adaptó a la iglesia gótica, mientras que en las del Puig y Altura lo hizo principalmente en las cúpulas de sus templos. En el presente trabajo, proponemos la reconstrucción de los esgrafiados desplegados en la media naranja de la iglesia de Valldecrist, hoy en ruinas por la desidia que ha padecido desde 1835. (A)
Comparison of Shaping Ability of 10 Rotary and Reciprocating Systems: an In Vitro Study with AutoCAD

Canal shaping with a reciprocating system is easy to learn.
2018
To assess progressive learning of root canal shaping in order to define the number of simulated canals in resin blocks needed to reach a level of learning beyond which no further improvement in performance is observed.A total of 216 simulated canals in resin blocks were instrumented by 18 operators without experience in Endodontics and by 18 Endodontists. The R25 file of the Reciproc system (VDW, Munich, Germany) was used to prepare the canals. The blocks were photographed before and after instrumentation. An analysis was made of the variations in the dimensions of the canals at 6 locations and of the instrumentation time. A Student's t-test was used to analyse the data (P 0.05).The group …
Temporomandibular arthropathies : a retrospective study with histopathological characteristics
2018
Background To investigate the incidence of temporomandibular arthropathies diagnosed in a university center and to describe their histopathological characteristics. Material and Methods Temporomandibular arthropathy cases with corresponding slides were selected from an oral and maxillofacial surgical pathology service. Cases of exclusively articular disc disease were not included. Results The mean age was 31.3 years with a predominance of females (69.7%). Of these diagnoses, 53.6% were unilateral condylar hyperplasia, 17.8% were bony ankylosis, 14.3% were degenerative joint disease, 10.7% were osteochondroma, and 3.6% were synovial chondromatosis. Condylar hyperplasia presented as thick fib…
Polychlorinated Dibenzothiophenes (PCDTs), Thianthrenes (PCTAs) and Their Alkylated Derivatives
2000
Polychlorinated dibenzothiophenes (PCDTs) and polychlorinated thianthrenes (PCTAs) are interesting compounds due to their structural similarity with polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs). PCDTs are sulfur analogues of PCDFs and PCTAs are sulfur analogues of PCDDs. PCDTs and PCTAs are probably formed by processes similar to the formation of PCDFs and PCDDs. PCDTs were first detected in the environment in 1986. Since then PCDTs have been analyzed in samples from combustion and metallurgy, sediments, pulp mill effluents, and in aquatic biota. Combustion and metallurgy seem to be the major sources of PCDTs in the environment. PCDTs and PCTAs are ana…
Bimetallic Intersection in PdFe@FeO x ‐C Nanomaterial for Enhanced Water Splitting Electrocatalysis
2022
Supported Fe-doped Pd-nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared via soft transformation of a PdFe-metal oraganic framework (MOF). The thus synthesized bimetallic PdFe-NPs are supported on FeO@C layers, which are essential for developing well-defined and distributed small NPs, 2.3 nm with 35% metal loading. They are used as bifunctional nanocatalysts for the electrocatalytic water splitting process. They display superior mass activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), both in alkaline and acid media, compared with those obtained for benchmarking platinum HER catalyst, and ruthenium, and iridium oxide OER catalysts. PdFe-NPs also exhibit outstanding sta…
