Molecular and Macromolecular Changes in Bottle-Aged White Wines Reflect Oxidative Evolution–Impact of Must Clarification and Bottle Closure
2018
This article is part of the Research Topic "The Chemistry of Wine Ageing" Adresse de correspondance: Institut Universitaire de la Vigne et du Vin, Dijon, France PMCID: PMC5897750; International audience; Chardonnay wines from Burgundy, obtained from musts with three levels of clarification (Low, Medium and High) during two consecutive vintages (2009 and 2010) and for two kinds of closures (screw caps and synthetic coextruded closures) were analyzed chemically and sensorially. Three bottles per turbidity level were opened in 2015 in order to assess the intensity of the reductive and/or oxidative aromas (REDOX sensory scores) by a trained sensory panel. The chemical analyses consisted in poly…
A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border
2020
A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border: the (de) politicization of Finnish women’s suffrage in Dutch battles on votes for women This research article in transnational history analyses an incident during which Hilja Pärssinen, a Finnish socialist woman MP, was stopped on the Dutch border in September 1913 on her way to visit a suffragette college in London. This two-hour event at the border and public controversy that followed were clashes between competing ideological and gendered discourses on women’s political agency. The incident was a nexus of intersecting discourses on a range of issues: Dutch and international debates on women’s suffrage, discourse on ‘…
Women fighters as agents of change: A Brazilian jiu jitsu case study from Finland
2015
Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ), a grappling system of combat, evolved from the teachings of a Japanese judoka who moved to Brazil in the 1920s. Focusing on ground fighting, BJJ is rapidly evolving into a combat sport with competitions taking place worldwide (Hogeveen and Hardes, 2014; Spencer, 2014). Unique to the BJJ culture is the way that the ‘secrets’ of the sport are transferred from expert to novice and from one club to the other. Clubs are organised into international ‘teams’, shaping global communities of practitioners that share techniques and philosophies. Unlike many other martial arts that insist on the traditional way of passing knowledge from one teacher to many students behind the…
Probabilistic characterization of nonlinear systems under parametric Poisson white noise via complex fractional moments

The corticotrophin-releasing factor/urocortin system regulates white fat browning in mice through paracrine mechanisms.
2015
Objectives:\ud The corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF)/urocortin system is expressed in the adipose tissue of mammals, but its functional role in this tissue remains unknown.\ud \ud Methods:\ud Pharmacological manipulation of the activity of CRF receptors, CRF1 and CRF2, was performed in 3T3L1 white pre-adipocytes and T37i brown pre-adipocytes during in vitro differentiation. The expression of genes of the CRF/urocortin system and of markers of white and brown adipocytes was evaluated along with mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular oxygen consumption. Metabolic evaluation of corticosterone-deficient or supplemented Crhr1-null (Crhr1−/−) mice and their wild-type controls was performed alo…
Instabilities in interacting binary stars
2017
The types of instability in the interacting binary stars are briefly reviewed. The project “Inter-Longitude Astronomy” is a series of smaller projects on concrete stars or groups of stars. It has no special funds, and is supported from resources and grants of participating organizations, when informal working groups are created. This “ILA” project is in some kind similar and complementary to other projects like WET, CBA, UkrVO, VSOLJ, BRNO, MEDUZA, AstroStatistics, where many of us collaborate. Totally we studied 1900+ variable stars of different types, including newly discovered variables. The characteristic timescale is from seconds to decades and (extrapolating) even more. The monitoring…
Blends using brabender farinograph and E6 Haubelt flourgraph
2010
The aim of this work is to establish correlations between the values of the Brabender Farinograph and the E6 Haubert Flourgraph. We analyzed two types of flours, white flour with additives (WF add) and brown flour with additives (BF add). The following parameters were varied: water absorption capacity, development time, the stability, the degree of softening and the quality number of wheat and potato flour mixture. A statistical analysis was made from linear regression equations. The obtained values for the E6 Flourgraph are comparable with Farinograph values and units. Hydration capacity values, calculated for a standard consistency of 500 HE, UF, obtained on these two devices are in a clo…
Construction of whiteness and blackness in Herman Melville's "Benito Cereno"
2020
Zamiast otwartego potępienia niewolnictwa, świat przedstawiony Benito Cereno rozprasza sprzeciw wobec tyranii poprzez zawiłą konstrukcję relacji podmiotowo-przedmiotowych, kontekst sytuacyjny, stłumione, nie do końca wyartykułowane wypowiedzi Benito Cereno, obrazy oraz złożoną strukturę dzieła. Za pomocą przemilczeń, zastosowania różnorodnych punktów widzenia, napomknięć, czy wyrazistej niedookreśloności, dzieło Melvilla nie tylko wpisuje się w romantyczne kwestionowanie historiografi i, ale również wychodzi naprzeciw postmodernistycznej nieoczywistości. Jest to utwór, w którym czytelnik zostaje zaproszony do bycia współautorem wypełniającym luki i przemilczenia własną interpretacją.
Enforcing trust for execution-protection in modern environments
2016
The business world is exhibiting a growing dependency on computer systems, their operations and the databases they contain. Unfortunately, it also suffers from an ever growing recurrence of malicious software attacks. Malicious attack vectors are diverse and the computer-security industry is producing an abundance of behavioral-pattern detections to combat the phenomenon. Modern processors contain hardware virtualization capabilities that support implementation of hypervisors for the purpose of managing multiple Virtual-Machines (VMs) on a single computer platform. The facilities provided by hardware virtualization grant the hypervisor control of the hardware platform at an effective privil…
