2021
Funding Information: We are thankful to the GlobBiomass project team and Frank Martin Seifert (ESA) for valuable suggestions and stimulating scientific discussions. We are thankful to Takeo Tadono (JAXA EORC), Masato Hayashi, (JAXA EORC), Kazufumi Kobayashi (RESTEC), Åke Rosenqvist (soloEO), and Josef Kellndorfer (EBD) for support with the use and interpretation of the ALOS PALSAR mosaics. Support by the CCI Land Cover project team, in particular Sophie Bontemps (UCL), is greatly acknowledged. The help from Martin Jung (MPI-BGC) in feature selection and Ulrich Weber (MPI-BGC) for data processing for the GSV-to-AGB conversions is greatly acknowledged.

Evaluation of treatment response to enzyme replacement therapy with Velaglucerase alfa in patients with Gaucher disease using whole-body magnetic res…
2015
Abstract Objective This was a retrospective data analysis to evaluate the treatment response to enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with Velaglucerase alfa using whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and methods A baseline and follow-up MRI were performed on 18 Gaucher Type 1 patients at an interval of 11.6 months. The MRI score systems determined the Bone-Marrow-Burden (BMB) score, the Dusseldorf-Gaucher score (DGS), and the Vertebra-Disc-Ratio (VDR). The Severity Score Index Type 1 (GD-DS3) was also assessed. Results The baseline MRI medians were: BMB, 7.00; DGS, 3.00; and VDR: 1.70; while, the follow-up MRI medians were: BMB, 7.00; DGS, 3.00; and VDR: 1.73. The baseline GD-…
Estudio ex post-facto del estrés a largo plazo en una muestra de personas adoptadas
2016
In this work we study the impact of relinquishment and the adoption process in posttraumatic symptoms in a group of 55 adults that were adopted as children before 1970. The effects of institutionalization, maltreatment, traumatic revelation of the adopted status and stressful life events have also been studied. No significant differences were found between institutionalized and non-institutionalized adoptees in posttraumatic symptomatology. However, adoptees who suffered maltreatment, traumatic revelation and high level of stressful life events scored significantly higher in intrusion and arousal than those adoptees non-maltreated, without traumatic revelation and with low level of stressfu…
Wind accretion in the massive X-ray binary 4U 2206+54: abnormally slow wind and a moderately eccentric orbit
2006
Massive X-ray binaries are usually classified depending on the properties of the donor star in classical, supergiant and Be X-ray binaries. The massive X-ray binary 4U 2206+54 does not fit in any of these groups, and deserves a detailed study to understand how the transfer of matter and the accretion on to the compact object take place. To this end we study an IUE spectrum of the donor and obtain a wind terminal velocity (v_inf) of ~350 km/s, which is abnormally slow for its spectral type. We also analyse here more than 9 years of available RXTE/ASM data. We study the long-term X-ray variability of the source and find it to be similar to that observed in the wind-fed supergiant system Vela …
La Edad Media contemporánea : estudio de la novela española de tema medieval (1990-2012)
2013
La tesis doctoral La Edad Media contemporánea. Estudio de la novela española de tema medieval (1990-2012) analiza la eclosión de la Edad Media en la novela española contemporánea, a través de un catálogo, formado por más de medio millar de títulos ambientados en el medievo o que lo convierten en un motivo a través del cual articulan sus tramas. Se ofrece una tipología que da cuenta de los modelos textuales más seguidos en los últimos años, así como un análisis de los motivos que han convertido en la narrativa de tema medieval en la más vendida y divulgada en nuestro país, y un detallado estudio de lo que bien puede denominarse narrativa templaria, pues, sin lugar a dudas, la Orden del Templ…
Fuegos que no queman en la novela griega antigua y las ordalías en Aquiles Tacio y Heliodoro
2019
La cremación como castigo a los condenados a muerte ya fue utilizada en la Antigüedad. En algunos casos, ciertas personas no se ven afectadas por las llamas a causa de la intervención divina. Se trata de un motivo literario y folklórico que parte del Antiguo Testamento (libro 3 de Daniel) y aparece también en la novela griega antigua, con matices variados. Aquiles Tacio y Heliodoro presentan al final de sus obras sendas ordalías en que los personajes encausados demuestran su inocencia, pero con lecturas bien diferentes en una y otra novela. Cremation as a punishment for those sentenced to death was already used in Antiquity. In some cases, certain people are not affected by the flames becau…
Quando i corpi svelano lo spazio
2020
Living means transfiguring the place and loading it with meanings that transcend its pure objectivity, allowing our body to feel itself among "its things", close to itself. The path of "transfiguration" inherent in living interprets the complementarity between man and his environment and reveals the poetic capacity of architecture. Thus, it may be interesting to understand how the interaction between body and space can make us regain possession of the most problematic places, within a mental and transcendent dimension.
Polar Bear in 'Fortitude'. Affective Aesthetics and Politics of Climate Change
2021
In the first season of the television Eco Noir crime series “Fortitude” (2015) the polar bear appears as a sticky object that embodies an ambiguous affective charge as an icon of global warming. This article discusses the ways in which the polar bear evokes viewer affect in the series through two discourses. The first one relates to violence, essentially present in crime narratives, and how the human and nonhuman animal are positioned in relation to global warming, violence and each other. It raises questions of place and belonging in a local and global context and examines how the polar bear is constructed in terms of stranger danger and victimization in relation to human animals and the t…
Les relacions entre el Tirant lo Blanc i l'Amadís de Gaula: primeres notes per a un estat de la qüestió
2009
Es posen al dia els estudis que comparen d’una o altra manera les dues obres cavalleresques peninsulars Amadís de Gaula i Tirant lo Blanc. Així, el balanç que s'obté és que els aspectes que han estat estudiats per la crítica són més aviat antics i generalistes i, tot i que alguns treballs han incidit en aspectes més sectorials, no ho han fet amb el grau d’aprofundiment desitjable. Concretament, entre les aproximacions de caire general es troben la de María Rosa Lida que emmarca l’Amadís i el Tirant dins del conjunt de l’herència artúrica peninsular; i el treball de Várvaro, que explica certes “singularitats” del Tirant, que el separen de la narrativa cavalleresca més convencional, a la llum…
