Nutriential Hazards: Micronutrients: Vitamins and Minerals

2014

To achieve an appropriate and healthy dietary regime, it is necessary to have a balance diet with an adequate contribution of every nutrient. Micronutrients play a fundamental role for normal metabolic functioning of human body, so their deficiencies produce specific clinical manifestations as well as a wide range of non-specific physiological impairments. Under certain situations or physiological conditions (such as stress, smoking, pollution, drugs and alcohol consumption, pregnancy, lactation, etc.), nutrient requirements are even higher, being impossible to fulfill them with standard diets. In fact, over two-third of the world's population lack of one or more essential mineral elements …

Revalorization of Almond By-Products for the Design of Novel Functional Foods: An Updated Review

2021

The search for waste minimization and the valorization of by-products are key to good management and improved sustainability in the food industry. The great production of almonds, based on their high nutritional value as food, especially almond kernels, generates tons of waste yearly. The remaining parts (skin, shell, hulls, etc.) are still little explored, even though they have been used as fuel by burning or as livestock feed. The interest in these by-products has been increasing, as they possess beneficial properties, caused by the presence of different bioactive compounds, and can be used as promising sources of new ingredients for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. Additio…

Ville et fortifications : de l'héritage à la production du territoire urbain

2015

A large number of french cities host military historical edifices (citadels, barracks, bastions, defensive walls, etc.). Although their initial defensive functions have been lost over time, these edifices remain deeply rooted in the urban fabric of their host cities. They continue exerting an impact on these cities’ urban morphology and modern-time functions as well as the way in which the concept of city is understood. Cities nowadays face some new challenges,the increasing awareness of urban sprawl and its consequences, coupled with an urge to promote a renewed and sustainable urbanism, invites us to adopt new approaches to study urban fortifications. In addition to their symbolic aspect,…

Dynamics of the caring family

2003

When several individuals simultaneously provide for offspring, as in families, the effort of any one individual will depend on the efforts of the other family members. This conflict of interest among family members is made more complicated by their relatedness because relatives share genetic interest to some degree. The conflict resolution will also be influenced by the differences in reproductive value between breeders and helpers. Here, we calculate evolutionarily stable provisioning efforts in families with up to two helpers. We explicitly consider that the behavioral choices are made in a life-history context, and we also consider how group sizes change dynamically; this affects, for ex…

Financer les murs de la ville dans l'Italie du Ier siècle avant J.-C.

2013

Les dernières décennies de la République romaine et les débuts du Principat voient nombre des villes d'Italie s'entourer de murailles. Pendant plusieurs années, les chercheurs se sont essentiellement interrogés sur les aspects militaires (securitas) et symboliques (dignitas) de ces structures considérables. Afin de cerner ce phénomène de manière plus précise, il convient désormais de chercher à restituer le cadre économique dans lequel les chantiers de construction de ces enceintes urbaines ont été mis en place.
