La Iglesia de San Bartolomé de Valencia en el siglo XVIII (1704-1742)
2022
Mediante el análisis de documentación inédita, el presente artículo investiga lo acontecido arquitectónica y artísticamente en la desaparecida Iglesia de San Bartolomé de Valencia entre los años 1704 y 1742. Partiendo de los daños que surgieron a raíz del levantamiento del segundo cuerpo del campanario, se profundizará en la reforma decorativa de la Capilla del Santo Sepulcro, la realización del púlpito, así como la construcción del retablo mayor y su dorado. Estas intervenciones definieron artísticamente la iglesia según los cánones del barroco de corte clasicista recientemente introducido en Valencia. Otro propósito de este estudio es el de sacar del olvido la personalidad del rector Féli…
Composition and biological activities of the essential oil from a Sicilian accession of Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl
2019
Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl. (Fam. Apiaceae), is an orophilous species of eastern Mediterranean and western Asia which possesses several biological properties, which are worthy of exploitation in different fields. With the aim to provide new insights into the phytochemistry and pharmacology of this species, a local accession growing in Sicily (South Italy) was investigated as well. Notably, the P. ferulacea essential oil chemical composition and the antioxidant, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cytotoxic activities have been studied. This analysis allowed to identify a new chemotype and to report good biological results for this oil. © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & F…
Ferritin synthesis by Caco-2 cells as an indicator of iron bioavailability: Application to milk-based infant formulas
2007
The bioavailability of iron from milk-based infant formulas was estimated by an in vitro system including enzymatic digestion, iron uptake by Caco-2 cells and ferritin determination via an enzymoimmunoassay (ELISA). Positive correlations (p < 0.01) were found between the Fe(II) added to Caco-2 cells and ferritin synthesis and between the amount of dialyzed iron added to the cell culture and ferritin synthesis. The comparison of the bioavailability of iron from different milk-based formulas showed that adapted formulas having the same composition but differing in the iron salts added yielded similar ferritin levels. The same happened with follow-up formulas differing only in the presence or …
The nutritional composition of selected wild edible mushrooms from Sicily (southern Italy)
2011
The wide consumption of wild fungi by the local population is the basis for an evaluation of the as yet unknown nutritional composition of some selected species. Wild edible mushrooms (Fistulina hepatica, Infundibulicybe geotropa, Laetiporus sulphureus, Macrolepiota procera var. procera and Suillus granulatus) were collected in a number of Sicilian (southern Italian) forest ecosystems and analysed according to standard methodologies of fungal analysis, for their basic composition (ash, water, protein, fat, carbohydrate and vitamin). The results showed that the investigated mushrooms could be suggested as a source of nutritional elements for the human diet.
Composition and Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oils ofCladanthus arabicusCass. (Asteraceae)
2005
Abstract The chemical composition of the essential oils of the aerial parts (stems and leaves: sample A) and flowers (sample B) of Cladanthus arabicus Cass., were analysed by GC-MS. Monoterpenes hydrocarbons constituted the main chemical group in both essential oils, with Sabinene, β-pinene, α-pinene, myrcene, α-phellandrene and p-cymene as the main compounds. Sample A was tested for its antimicrobial activity against six Gram positive and negative bacteria. Results showed that the oil exhibited a significant antibacterial activity.
La fiesta mutante. La construcción histórica de la Feria de Julio de Valencia
2014
[EN] In the present article it is tried to show as the holidays they are social historical constructions, which mutations are inseparable both of the diverse political contexts and of the institutional action. This one is the case of Julio's Fair of Valencia, founded in in 1871 under the requiriments of bourgeois taste. In our work we show, resting on historical documentation of press and file, the diverse stages of the evolution of the Fair, insisting in since there is modified his cultural institutional management. So if at firdt period of euphoria and ascent, the Feria de Valencia managed to become one of the most important festive events in Valencia, taking on a distinctly popular carac…

The effect of the length of repeated feed deprivation between single meals on compensatory growth of pikeperch Sander lucioperca
2009
Abstract Juvenile pikeperch ( Sander lucioperca ) were reared for 58 days according to one of the following feeding regimes: control (fed once every day); 1 + 1 (fed every other day); 1 + 3 (one-day feeding followed by a three-day feed deprivation); and 1 + 6 (fed once a week). Control fish had significantly higher growth rate than the 1 + 3 and 1 + 6 fish, and consequently the final weight of the controls (125.2 ± SD 30.0 g, n = 4) was higher than that of the 1 + 3 (84.0 ± 17.9 g) and 1 + 6 fish (64.7 ± 7.2 g). Fish in the treatment groups were capable to compensate for the reduced number of feedings by increasing intake relative to the controls when feed was available. This hyperphagic r…
El anillo ecuestre áureo de Molata de Casa Vieja, Almaciles (Puebla de Don Fadrique, Granada)
2019
We here document an Iberian gold ring, which we have recently been able to study. It was found at some time between the late 1960s and mid-1980s, near Molata de Casa Vieja, one of the most important oppida in Alta Andalucía. The engraved bezel is of a schematic style, and derives from the iconic Iberian rider, ubiquitous on the pre–Roman coinage. It adds a new representation to this already rich corpus. The image of the rider was frequently used by the Iberian elite between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. The ring is now par t of the collection of the Archaeological Museum of Murcia. Con este artículo se pretende estudiar y documentar un anillo ibérico de oro al que hemos tenido acceso hace p…
<em>El dibujado</em>: volver a la pared
2021
The exhibition El dibujado by Paco Roca (IVAM, 2019) is an exploration of the paradigm shift brought forth by the abandonment of paper and reproducibility as a space for the dissemination of the comic strip. The exhibition hall of a museum (the Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno) becomes a space for formal and ephemeral experimentation at different levels, from the purely creative to the pondering about the unexplored possibilities of the language of the comic book. With this exhibition cartoonist Paco Roca poses a challenge to a spectator who is called to leave his/her role as a visitor and become the reader of an experience in which s/he becomes a part of the work’s own narrative. The a…
