Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on extraction of B-phycoerythrin from Porphyridium cruentum: Use of confocal microscopy and image processing
2019
International audience; The aim of the study was to extract B-phycoerythrin from Porphyridium cruentum while preserving its structure. The high hydrostatic pressure treatments were chosen as extraction technology. Different methods have been used to observe the effects of the treatment: spectrophotometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy followed by image processing analysis. Image processing led to the generation of masks used for the identification of three clusters: intra, extra and intercellular. All methods showed that high hydrostatic pressure treatments between 50 and 500 MPa failed to extract B-phycoerythrin from Porphyridium cruentum cells. The fluorescence emission was negati…
Amaranthus grain as a new ingredient in diets for dairy cows: productive, qualitative, and in vitro fermentation traits
2022
Background: In recent decades, grain amaranths have attracted attention due to their valuable combination of nutritional traits, with higher protein and oil content than conventional cereals. Before they can be proposed as an unconventional ingredient in animal feed, many aspects still need to be investigated from field production to nutritive value. The present research aimed to study the agronomic traits, proximate composition, and digestibility/degradability, fatty acid profile, antioxidant activity, and total phenolic content of two grain amaranth species, Amaranthus cruentus and Amaranthus hypochondriacus (for a total of six accessions), grown in a Mediterranean environment. Results: B…
The relationship between animal cruelty in children and adolescent and interpersonal violence: A systematic review
2019
Abstract The following study is a systematic review of the relationship between animal cruelty and interpersonal violence. The systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines and combined with the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, enabled us to locate 32 studies published between 1995 and July 2017. Overall, the results show that episodes of animal cruelty during childhood and adolescence tend to co-occur alongside other forms of violent and antisocial behaviors. Cruelty to animals was associated with bullying, behavioral problems, experiences of abuse (emotional, physical and sexual), and juvenile delinquency. Furthermore, recurrent animal cruelty during childhood a…
The Supramolecular Structure of Photosystem II — Phycobilisome‐Complexes of Porphyridium cruentum
1990
The structure and arrangement of phycobilisomes of the unicellular red alga Porphyridium cruentum is compared with the organization of the thylakoid freeze-fracture particles in order to determine the relationship between phycobilisomes and photosystem II. The hemi-ellipsoidal phycobilisomes, 20 nm thick, are predominantly organized into rows; their centre to centre periodicity is 30–40 nm, so that they are well separated by a gap of 10–20 nm. The phycobilisomes are cleaved by a central faint furrow, parallel to the long axis from top to base. The organization of the exoplasmic particles in rows is similar to the arrangement of the phycobilisomes so that a structural relationship between bo…

The British Press Responds to the Liberation of the Concentration Camps
2011
Following the liberation of Western concentration camps, especially Buchenwald (11 April) and Bergen-Belsen (15 April), newspapers in Europe reported a story of cruelty that seemed to surpass every other atrocity story they had told before. This chapter will examine how the liberation news was published in the mainstream British papers. It is now well known that the liberation of the camps hardly helped the British public to comprehend the true nature of the Nazi genocide.1 However, what concerns us here is to go beyond the argument according to which the dominant liberal discourse in Britain was principally responsible for influencing British understanding of the Holocaust. Instead, this c…
Climatic and anthropogenic influences on three burgundian watercourses : geoarchaelogy of crossing sites on Loire, Saône and Doubs during the Holocene
2015
A geoarchaeological study was led on four sections of the valleys of the Loire, Saône and Doubs rivers (Burgundy, France) in order to point out the factors influencing the alluvial dynamics on a multimillennial scale, and their effects on the preservation of archaeological information. Investigations started by roman and medieval remains of bridges discovered in active channels, were then carried out on larger parts of alluvial plains, and altogether allowed the evolutions of the channels during the Holocene period to be deducted. Various types of information on alluvial characteristics were crossed through time and space: ancient maps and XXth century or aerial photographs for centennial s…
Las crecidas en ramblas valencianas mediterráneas
2001
This paper takes into account the characterisation of ephemeral stream hydrology from Mediterranean environments. The heavy floods that these countries suffer are due to firstly, the physical watershed features (steep slopes, scarced vegetation cover and thin soils) and, secondly, to the intense and variable rainfall. Large quantities of precipitation fall in a matter of hours, or even minutes, over very steep catchments, causing catastrophic flash-floods, with very pointed hydrographs and short time lags. Using hydrological daily data from the Rambla de la Viuda basin and five-minute data from both Barranc de Carraixet and Rambla de Poyo basins, we have analysed the rainfall- runoff proces…
Krimināllikuma 174. pants. Cietsirdība un vardarbība pret nepilngadīgo
2022
Vardarbība un cietsirdība pret nepilngadīgo ir bijusi un ir aktuāla problēma visā pasaulē gan vēsturiski, gan mūsdienās. Nepilngadīgie ir vieni no sabiedrības vismazāk aizsargātajiem dalībniekiem, tādēļ pienākumu valstij īpaši gādāt par nepilngadīgajiem uzliek gan starptautiskie tiesību akti, gan pašu valstu tiesību akti. Latvija nav izņēmums un arī tajā nepilngadīgo tiesību aizsardzība tiek regulēta. Krimināllikuma 174.pantā paredzēta kriminālatbildība par cietsirdību un vardarbību pret nepilngadīgo. Krimināllikuma 174.pantā paredzētais noziedzīgā nodarījuma saturs, sastāvs un praktiskā piemērošana, kā arī cietsirdības un vardarbības pret nepilngadīgo izpratne tiek noskaidrota analizējot z…
Cel uświęca środki? O współczesnym wymiarze politycznego makiawelizmu na przykładzie wyborów samorządowych w 2010 roku w województwie opolskim
2012
The paper is an attempt to analyze the marketing activities of selected candidates running for office in the local authorities of the Opolskie Region in 2010. A large proportion of these candidates implemented the Machiavellian principle that the end justifies the means, and they tried to win power, almost trampling over corpses, using all available methods to succeed. Niccol ò Machiavelli, the author of The Prince argued five centuries earlier that the good of state justifies ruses, cruelty and violence. The present face of political Machiavellianism is different, as many people value power itself rather than the good of the state or region. As a result, voters observe a political farce un…
