Estudio contrastivo lingüístico y semántico de las construcciones verbales fijas diatópicas mexicanas/españolas
2010
En este artículo analizamos las construcciones verbales fijas de origen mexicano, y las compararemos con construcciones homólogas del español peninsular desde el punto de vista lingüístico y semántico con el fin de poner de relieve las peculiaridades de estas variantes diatópicas. In the present paper, we analyse set verbal constructions of Mexican origin and compare them with homologous verbal constructions of European Spanish origin from a morphological and semantic point of view in order to underline the peculiarities of the Mexican, diatopic varieties.
A MODEL FOR VESTIBULAR FUNCTION IN ALTERED GRAVITATIONAL STATES
1979
ABSTRACT During evolution, the vestibular organ was made to serve mainly two purposes: 1) to guide eye movements during sharp turns, so that the point of fixation in the visual field can be kept steady, a function accomplished by the semicircular canal system and 2) to indicate the terrestrial vertical, so that upright posture and gait can be maintained even in the dark. The otolith system serves the latter purpose. Since the function of the semicircular canal system does not depend on gravity, it is not grossly disturbed by gravitational levels different from 1 g . The proper function of the otolith system depends entirely on the presence of a gravitational force vector of 9.8/m/sec2 direc…
Eccentric fixation measurements using visuoscopy and Macula Integrity Tester (MIT) in children with amblyopia
2021
The aim of the work was to compare measurements of eccentric fixation in children with amblyopia using two different methods, a traditional visuoscopy and MIT. Monocular fixation was evaluated using visuoscopy and MIT in 16 patients (from 5 to 9 years old). Measurements were started with the better seeing eye to compare the results obtained with the amblyopic eye. All study participants were selected with anisometropic and refractive amblyopia. Visuoscopy is simpler than MIT and less dependent on patient responses, so visioscopy can be used for young children who have not yet acquired verbal skills. Children over the age of 5 can more easily understand the MIT method and get more reliable r…
Image Content Enhancement Through Salient Regions Segmentation for People With Color Vision Deficiencies
2019
Color vision deficiencies affect visual perception of colors and, more generally, color images. Several sciences such as genetics, biology, medicine, and computer vision are involved in studying and analyzing vision deficiencies. As we know from visual saliency findings, human visual system tends to fix some specific points and regions of the image in the first seconds of observation summing up the most important and meaningful parts of the scene. In this article, we provide some studies about human visual system behavior differences between normal and color vision-deficient visual systems. We eye-tracked the human fixations in first 3 seconds of observation of color images to build real f…
Short term adaptive response of symbiotic N2 fixation in pea to root pruning of half the root system, linked to the availability of carbon assimilates
2014
Symbiotic N fixation of legumes is very sensitive to environmental stresses, like pea pests damaging nodulated roots. However, the impact on their N uptake capacity and plant growth has not been studied so far.We analyzed the adaptive response symbiotic N2 fixation and plant growth of pea wild type Frisson and hypernodulating mutants P64, P118 and P121 mutated respectively on genes SYM28, SYM29 and NOD3 to root pruning of half the root system at the end of the vegetative stage. The adaptive responses of pea: cv. Frisson and 3 of its hypernodulating mutants were compared under varying carbon supplies from photosynthesis.At 380 ppm, mutant P118 showed the lowest decrease of the specific activ…

Biological nitrogen fixation for the 21st century
1998
The biodiversity of nitrogen-fixing organisms is huge. Taxonomic and phylogenetic research is needed to structure this diversity, to facilitate communication among scientists, and to increase our understanding of the evolution and biology of diazotrophs. Molecular tools for taxonomic and biodiversity studies of diazotrophic rhizobia, frankiae, cyanobacteria and bacilli are presented in sections 2 to 5. Sections 6 to 9 focus on problems with genus and species assignment.

Genetic Diversity of Rhizobia Isolated from the Legume Genera Astragalus, Oxytropis and Onobrychis
1998
The legume genera Astragalus and Oxytropis belong to the tribe Galegae. These legumes are common in Arctic and Temperate climatic zones. Previous studies based on cross-inoculation experiments and numerical taxonomy (Prevost et al., 1987; Novikova et al., 1993; 1994) suggested that the rhizobia associated with these legumes were closely related. Also the legume species Onobrychis viciifolia (sainfoin, tribe Hedysareae) was effectively nodulated by rhizobia isolated from Astragalus and Oxytropis spp. (Prevost et al., 1987). Rhizobia isolated from A. sinicus were classified in a new species, Mesorhizobium huakuii, (Chen et al., 1991; Jarvis et al., 1997). Other rhizobia from Astragalus and Ox…
