“Though I was alone with the unseen, I comprehended it not”: The Relationship Between the Dead and the Living in Margaret Oliphant’s „A Beleaguered C…
2017
Margaret Oliphant 1828–1897 is best remembered today as one of the important practitioners the domestic fiction, with her “Chronicles of Carlingford” series considered to be her most enduring achievement. Oliphant’s other interesting group of works are ghost stories and other spiritual tales known as the “Stories of the Seen and Unseen”. A Beleaguered City, a novella first published in 1879, is generally considered to be Oliphant’s most successful supernatural tale. Set in Semur, France, and told by five different narrators, the story focuses on the inhabitants of Semur, who are evicted from their town by the spirits of the dead. This paper aims to demonstrate that Oliphant uses the supern…
Sector de maquinaria. Capacidad de innovación y desarrollo regional. El caso de la Comunidad Valenciana
1990
EL SECTOR DE CONSTRUCCION DE MAQUINARIA PARA LA INDUSTRIA ES CONSIDERADO UN ELEMENTO BASICO PARA FAVORECER LA CREACION Y ADOPCION DE INNOVACIONES A ESCALA REGIONAL. EN EL CASO ESPAÑOL, ESTE SECTOR ESTA MUY CONCENTRADO ESPACIALMENTE, DEJANDO EN UNA MALA POSICION A LAS REGIONES DE DESARROLLO ENDOGENO, COMO LA COMUNIDAD VALENCIANA. LA EVOLUCION RECIENTE, SIN EMBARGO, PARECE MARCAR UN FORTALECIMIENTO DEL SECTOR DENTRO DE UN PROCESO DE CAMBIOS ESTRUCTURALES PROFUNDOS QUE PERMITAN A LAS EMPRESAS ADAPTARSE A LAS NUEVAS CONDICIONES DEL MERCADO QUE SURGEN CON LA CRISIS DE LOS 70.

2016
BAPGEAPSIGESTADAGROSUPINRA; International audience; Afin de répondre aux enjeux actuels (réduction des intrants, circuits courts, changement climatique…) les acteurs chercheurs-professions-politiques de Bourgogne et Franche Comté, engagés sur la production de protéines végétales et leur utilisation en alimentation animale et humaine, ont convenu de construire une action PSDR 4 (Pour et Sur le Développement Régional ) visant le développement et la triple performance économique-environnementale- sociale de cette filière importante pour l'activité de ce territoire. L’ambition de ce programme est de répondre aux principales questions que se posent actuellement les différents acteurs de la filiè…
Evaluation of acyl coenzyme A oxidase (Aox) isozyme function in the n- alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
1999
ABSTRACT We have identified five acyl coenzyme A (CoA) oxidase isozymes (Aox1 through Aox5) in the n -alkane-assimilating yeast Yarrowia lipolytica , encoded by the POX1 through POX5 genes. The physiological function of these oxidases has been investigated by gene disruption. Single, double, triple, and quadruple disruptants were constructed. Global Aox activity was determined as a function of time after induction and of substrate chain length. Single null mutations did not affect growth but affected the chain length preference of acyl-CoA oxidase activity, as evidenced by a chain length specificity for Aox2 and Aox3. Aox2 was shown to be a long-chain acyl-CoA oxidase and Aox3 was found to …
Ecologie évolutive de la malaria aviaire : approches expérimentales des relations entre Plasmodium relictum et le canari domestique
2010
Host-parasite interaction became one of the main topics of evolutionary sciences researches. One of the major issues raised by these studies is to understand why some parasites cause fatal diseases while others remain relatively mild to their hosts. In this challenge attempting to take up the evolutionary biologist and the medical sciences, we focused on avian malaria, and more specifically on its most common parasite: Plasmodium relictum. In performing experimental infections in domestic canaries (Serinus canaria), we wanted to understand what factors related to parasite and birds characteristics, could influence Plasmodium relictum virulence. We highlighted that factors such as infectious…
Rejection sensitivity as a vulnerability marker for depressive symptom deterioration in men.
2017
Consistent across time and cultures, men and male adolescents older than 14 years of age appear underrepresented in mood disorders, and are far less likely than women to seek psychological help. The much higher rate of suicide amongst males suggests that depression in men might be underreported. One of the core human motives is to seek acceptance by others and avoid rejection. Rejection Sensitivity (RS) has been conceptualized as the cognitive-affective processing disposition to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and intensely respond to cues of rejection in the behavior of others. RS has been previously linked with the onset and course of depression, but - as yet - has not been investigat…
Risk of falling and associated factors in older adults with a previous history of falls
2020
Falls in the elderly are one of the main geriatric syndromes and a clear indicator of fragility in the older adult population. This has serious consequences, leading to an increase in disability, institutionalization and death. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to analyze the prevalence of risk of falling and associated factors in a population of 213 non-institutionalised, able older adults with a history of falling in the previous year. We used the following assessment tools: Questionnaire of the WHO for the study of falls in the elderly, Geriatric Depression Scale and Tinetti’s Gait and Balance Assessment Tool. Age, using ambulatory assistive devices, polymedication, hospital …
Role of Kras Status in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Receiving First-Line Chemotherapy plus Bevacizumab: A TTD Group Cooperative Study
2012
Background: In the MACRO study, patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) were randomised to first-line treatment with 6 cycles of capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) plus bevacizumab followed by either single-agent bevacizumab or XELOX plus bevacizumab until disease progression. An additional retrospective analysis was performed to define the prognostic value of tumour KRAS status on progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and response rates. Methodology/Principal Findings: KRAS data (tumour KRAS status and type of mutation) were collected by questionnaire from participating centres that performed KRAS analyses. These data were then cross-referenced with efficacy da…
