Germline correction of an epimutation related to Silver-Russell syndrome.
2015
Like genetic mutations, DNA methylation anomalies or epimutations can disrupt gene expression and lead to human diseases. However, unlike genetic mutations, epimutations can in theory be reverted through developmental epigenetic reprograming, which should limit their transmission across generations. Following the request for a parental project of a patient diagnosed with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS), and the availability of both somatic and spermatozoa DNA from the proband and his father, we had the exceptional opportunity to evaluate the question of inheritance of an epimutation. We provide here for the first time evidence for efficient reversion of a constitutive epimutation in the sperm…
Le réalisme social américain à l'ère postmoderne : (Russell Banks, Raymond Carver, Richard Ford)
2012
His study focuses on the works of Russell Banks, Raymond Carver and Richard Ford. They started writing during the 1960s and 1970s, at a time when the self-reflexivity and metafictional play of postmodernist writers were drawing a lot of critical attention in academic circles. However, they consider themselves to be realist writers. In “A Few Words about Minimalism,” John Barth suggested that the return to realist fiction in the mid-1970s could be both a reaction against so-called “postmodernist” fiction and a symptom of the social and economic unease of the period. Indeed, Cathedral, Continental Drift and The Sportswriter describe in accurate detail the everyday lives of ordinary American m…
Pulsations in the late-type Be star HD 50 209 detected by CoRoT
2009
The presence of pulsations in late-type Be stars is still a matter of controversy. It constitutes an important issue to establish the relationship between non-radial pulsations and the mass-loss mechanism in Be stars. To contribute to this discussion, we analyse the photometric time series of the B8IVe star HD 50209 observed by the CoRoT mission in the seismology field. We use standard Fourier techniques and linear and non-linear least squares fitting methods to analyse the CoRoT light curve. In addition, we applied detailed modelling of high-resolution spectra to obtain the fundamental physical parameters of the star. We have found four frequencies which correspond to gravity modes with az…

Russell Wittgenstein: la riflessione logica e l'esperienza della guerra
2015
The first World War had a great impact on some areas of philosophy such as ethics and political philosophy, but this impact is more controversial in other ares such as logic or epistemology. In this paper we discuss the relevant consequences of this war in the logic-philosphical thought of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein

Gaia DR2 reveals a star formation burst in the disc 2-3 Gyr ago
2019
We use Gaia DR2 magnitudes, colours and parallaxes for stars with G<12 to explore a 15-dimensional space that includes simultaneously the initial mass function (IMF) and a non-parametric star formation history (SFH) for the Galactic disc. This inference is performed by combining the Besancon Galaxy Model fast approximate simulations (BGM FASt) and an approximate Bayesian computation algorithm. We find in Gaia DR2 data an imprint of a star formation burst 2-3 Gyr ago, in the Galactic thin disc domain, and a present star formation rate (SFR) of about 1 Msun. Our results show a decreasing trend of the SFR from 9-10 Gyr to 6-7 Gyr ago. This is consistent with the cosmological star formation …
Córtazar in the middle of Pulp culture and political denunciation
2018
In Fantomas against the multinational vampires (1975) Julio Cortázar mixes a verbal narration with comic strips and with the Russell Tribunal political report. The text is a place of negotiation between some different ways of understanding the relationship between literature, culture and politics. Cortazar was trying to give an answer to the latinoamerican intellectual debates on these issues.
Cortázar: entre la cultura pulp y la denuncia política
2012
En Fantomas contra los vampiros multinacionales (1975) Julio Cortázar articula una lúdica narración verbal con las páginas de un cómic y las actas de la segunda sesión del Tribunal Russell, configurando un insólito híbrido entre novela gráfica, relato verbal e informe de denuncia. El texto constituye un espacio de negociación entre diferentes formas de entender la relación entre literatura, cultura y política, que trata de responder a las tensiones y debates que, en torno a esa problemática, habían tenido lugar en América Latina en la década anterior. Específicamente, el texto de Cortázar responde literariamente al auge de lo que se denominó 'antiintelectualismo', apropiándose de algunos de…
El coneixement humà I [Pròleg]
1985
El coneixement humà. El seu abast i els seus límits està considerada com la darrera obra sistemàtica de filosofia de B. Russell; ·fou publicada el 1948, quan Russell tenia 76 anys, just el mateix any que, a força de nedar, va salvar la seua vida d'un accident d'avió precipitat al mar. Posteriorment a aquesta data, Russell publica obres de temes d'allò més divers, entre les quals cal destacar una de filosòficament important: My philosophical development (1959). L'obra, però, no intenta d'ésser un resum final o sistema del pensament de l'autor. En primer lloc, perquè el filòsof anglès la va escriure com una obra més, com el resultat de les seues darreres investigacions, que afegien als estudi…
