Virtual Medical Communication in English. A Corpus-based Analysis of Inclusive we, us and our in the Intercultural Clinical Blog
2013
Blogs play a very important role in web-based communication as they represent ever-increasing worldwide tools in both everyday and professional interaction (Crystal 2007; Herring 1996, 2007). Similarly to all writers in general, bloggers use persuasive techniques to attract readers’ attention and make them share their points of views and opinions. The use of inclusive pronouns and possessives fulfils pragmatic persuasive functions. The aim of this work was to investigate how the first-person plural personal pronouns we and us and the first-person plural possessive adjective our were used in an intercultural blog in the medical field, namely Clinical blog, of the British Medical Journal (BMJ…
On the location of the supermassive black hole in CTA102
2015
Relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei represent one of the most powerful phenomena in the Universe. They form in the surroundings of the supermassive black holes as a by-product of accretion onto the central black hole in active galaxies. The flow in the jets propagates at velocities close to the speed of light. The distance between the first part of the jet that is visible in radio images (core) and the black hole is still a matter of debate. Only very-long-baseline interferometry observations resolve the innermost compact regions of the radio jet. Those can access the jet base, and combining data at different wavelenghts, address the physical parameters of the outflow from its emiss…

Theoretical study of neutrino scattering off the stable even Mo isotopes at low and intermediate energies
2011
A systematic study of the cross sections of neutral-current neutrino scattering off the stable even Mo isotopes (mass number A = 92, 94, 96, 98, 100), at low and intermediate neutrino energies (E(nu) <= 130 MeV), is presented and discussed. The required wave functions for the initial (ground state) and all accessible final nuclear states are constructed in the context of the quasi-particle random-phase approximation (QRPA) and tested against data on the low-lying energy spectra of the isotopes in question. The individual contributions coming from the polar-vector and axial-vector components of the hadronic current for the coherent and incoherent channels of each isotope are investigated. Th…
Efectos de las consultas boca a boca en redes sociales en la compra de cosméticos en Ecuador.
2022
Las redes sociales han reestructurado el paradigma de la comunicación en el marketing. Investigaciones recientes demuestran que la conducta de consultar reseñas está adquiriendo un rol fundamental en la decisión de compra de los consumidores. En este contexto, el presente estudio desarrolló un marco de investigación para determinar la cadena de relación entre influencia social, credibilidad percibida del boca a boca, adopción del boca a boca e intención de compra aplicada a la industria cosmética del Ecuador. A través de una muestra de 406 consumidores y la aplicación del método de análisis de ecuaciones estructurales, los resultados evidencian el vínculo existente entre las variables plant…
Metaphorical dimension of idioms in TV series for German, Norwegian and Spanish audiences
2022
Over recent years, internet TV series have grown in popularity to become one of the audiovisual products with the highest audiences worldwide. The Covid crisis, with limitations on movement, has further increased their success during 2020-21. English is by far the most common language for such productions, which are typically offered to non-anglophone viewers in translated format, with either subtitles or dubbing. One of the main challenges in translation here concerns the use of idioms, since these do not always have a fixed equivalent in the target language. Taking as a starting point a corpus of drama series from Netflix and Amazon Prime, this study considers the metaphorical dimension o…
Desafíos y oportunidades de Sentinel-2 en la monitorización de las aguas continentales
2023
En los ecosistemas de agua dulce, la escasez y la contaminación de este recurso está promoviendo que los organismos gubernamentales incluyan en sus agendas estrategias para mitigar esta situación a través de una gestión sostenible. La Directiva Marco del Agua establece entre sus requerimientos la monitorización del estado ecológico de las aguas continentales para determinar su calidad. Las imágenes satelitales ofrecen una visión sinóptica y continua a partir de la que es posible derivar métricas del estado ecológico. Esas métricas son un complemento a los tradicionales muestreos ya que se incrementa la cobertura espacial y la periodicidad en la monitorización. Sentinel-2, con su sensor Mult…
Brevi considerazioni su Paul. 32 ad ed. D.19.4.1.4: tra tradizione testuale e proposte emendative
2012
This paper analyses a famous excerpt from the roman jurist Paulus on the barter (Paul. 32 ad ed. D.19.4.1.4). According to the scholars this passage lists (even if confusedly) the available procedural remedies against the defaulting party, given the institution of a valid contract: action in id quod interest, aimed at obtaining a specific performance, and the condictio quasi re non secuta, for the recovery of what has already been given. However, this reconstruction does not consider the connection (igitur) with the previous § 3, in which it is affirmed that barter is void when a party delivers a third party property. So the author suggests to abandon Mommsen’s reconstruction based on Bas.2…
PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF AN INOFFENSIVE FIXED-WING UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEM
2019
Aim of this paper is the preliminary design of an harmless fixed-wing unmanned Aerial System. To improve application fields, endurance has been selected as fundamental performance and the blended wing configuration has been chosen. So the fuselage has the same airfoil of the wing and contains all the payload. In this way the drag has been reduced. Because of the blended wing arrangement, to control pitch and roll elevons have been introduced. To guarantee the directional stability, winglets have been used; besides winglets increase the equivalent aspect ratio and consequently reduce the drag and improve the endurance. The selected propulsion system has been based on an electrical brushless …
15GHz and jet properties of MOJAVE blazars
2013
We investigate the Fermi Large Area Telescope {gamma}-ray and 15GHz Very Long Baseline Array radio properties of a joint {gamma}-ray and radio-selected sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) obtained during the first 11 months of the Fermi mission (2008 August 4-2009 July 5). Our sample contains the brightest 173 AGNs in these bands above declination -30{deg} during this period, and thus probes the full range of {gamma}-ray loudness ({gamma}-ray to radio band luminosity ratio) in the bright blazar population. The latter quantity spans at least 4 orders of magnitude, reflecting a wide range of spectral energy distribution (SED) parameters in the bright blazar population. The BL Lac objects,…
