Phytoplankton synthesizes essential ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) for consumers in the aquatic food webs. Only certain phytoplankton taxa can synthesize eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5ω3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6ω3), whereas all phytoplankton taxa can synthesize shorter-chain ω-3 and ω-6 PUFA. Here, we experimentally studied how the proportion, concentration (per DW and cell-specific), and production (µg FA L−1 day−1) of ω-3 and ω-6 PUFA varied among six different phytoplankton main groups (16 freshwater strains) and between exponential and stationary growth phase. EPA and DHA concentrations, as dry weight, were similar among cryptophytes and diatoms. However, Crypto…
Repeated, Intermittent Social Defeat across the Entire Juvenile Period Resulted in Behavioral, Physiological, Hormonal, Immunological, and Neurochemi…
2016
The developing brain is vulnerable to social defeat during the juvenile period. As complements of human studies, animal models of social defeat provide a straightforward approach to investigating the functional and neurobiological consequences of social defeats. Taking advantage of agonist behavior and social defeat in male golden hamster, a set of 6 experiments was conducted to investigate the consequences at multiple levels in young adulthood resulting from repeated, intermittent social defeats or “social threats” across the entire juvenile period. Male hamsters at postnatal day 28 (P28) were randomly assigned to either the social defeat, “social threat”, or arena control group, and they …
Animality and Biblical Masculinities in Conflict: Moses and the Golden Calf (Exodus 32)
2020
The purpose of this article is to analyze the masculinity of the biblical figure Moses in relation to the golden calf in Exodus 32. The prophet has been used as a model of biblical masculinity based on criteria such as violence, persuasive ability, his relationship to women, and physical disability. However, no gender construction derived from his interaction with the animal idol has been considered. In the context of the intersection of “animal studies” and “masculinity studies,” this article proposes the conceptualization of a biblical “zoomasculinity” linked to the prophet. Cohabitation with the theriomorphic statue allows Moses to embody diverse alternative masculinities that culminate…
Materia y forma en Agudeza y arte de ingenio
2009
[Resumen] Este trabajo se propone estudiar la importancia del esquema hilemórfico en la descripción del proceso de creación de las agudezas. Al acudir al marco teórico del compuesto de materia y de forma que domina la metafísica de Aristóteles, Gracián procura definir con la mayor precisión posible la génesis del sentido: cada concepto creado es un acto único que se apoya en un proceso de individuación. La forma confiere sabrosa y a veces lúdicamente a los objetos del lenguaje su unicidad. Sin embargo, la Agudeza, por la jerarquización de formas discursivas que presenta a su lector, impide toda lectura unívoca y reductora de la utilización de estos dos conceptos: cada forma creada parece so…
Petrography, mineralogy and geochemistry of a primitive pumice from Stromboli: implications for the deep feeding system
2011
We describe the field relations, petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of an exceptional “ golden ” pumice belonging to a tephra layer exposed on the summit area of Stromboli volcano, Italy. Pumice sample PST-9 comes from a fallout deposit older than a spatter agglutinate sequence emplaced during the twentieth century. The eruption that produced it had a size exceeding that of intermediate paroxysms but was smaller than large-scale, spatter-forming, paroxysms from the sixteenth century and 1930 A.D. Lapilli are strongly vesicular and crystal-poor, similar to other “ golden ” pumices. Modal proportions include 89 vol% glass, 8 vol% clinopyroxene, 1–2 vol% olivine and 1–…
'Reyes, santos y maridos: personajes portugueses en el teatro español del Siglo de Oro'
2015
La realidad portuguesa forma parte del acervo temático del teatro español del Siglo de Oro, que destaca de los lusos su valor en la guerra y su exceso en la pasión. Las interacciones literarias se produjeron en dos sentidos: la tradición lusitana fue tratada en las piezas españolas, y los dramaturgos portugueses escribieron en castellano siguiendo a Lope de Vega en su Arte nuevo de hacer comedias en este tiempo (1609). Aunque la historia y la hagiografía serán las vertientes más explotadas debido a la repercusión de sus protagonistas, en otras ocasiones Portugal servirá de ambientación a conflictos universales. Reyes como don Afonso Henriques, don João II o don Sebastião protagonizan obras …
Chromatographic fingerprint, antioxidant activity, and colour characteristic of polish goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea L.) honey and flower
2018
In recent times, the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical interest in honey due to its well-known health properties has increased. Consumers need clear and precise information, so that they can make informed choices about their diet and the foods they buy. Therefore, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector (HPLC-PAD) was revealed a general characteristic fingerprint of polish monofloral goldenrod honey and flowers. In addition, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) has proven to be a useful tool for determining similarity patterns of common bands among honey from the same floral source and thus can be …
La imagen de la Concha de Oro en los impresos de la Edad Moderna
2020
For centuries, an image commonly associated with Santiago de Compostela (the shell) has accompanied the city of Palermo as well. Since the classical tradition and medieval literature, and then during the Renaissance and Baroque age, this symbol has been connected with other urban symbols (the rivers, the eagle and trhe Genius of Palermo), thus contributing to its historical identity, although in a rather idealistic form. Therefore, the expression «Golden Shell» has been used repeatedly in a large number of books printed during the Modern Age, with multiple meanings. The main purpose was to show those attributes linked with the city's landscape (wealth and beauty) within a specific political…
Soil is the best testifier of the diachronous dawn of the Anthropocene
2021
Humans act at worldwide scale as a growing geomorphic agent since mid‐Holocene (8,200–4,200 y BP) through the pervasive impacts of domestication, deforestation, agriculture, urbanization, and mining. The concept of Anthropocene has been introduced exactly to indicate the timespan in which humans have joined with other natural forces in impacting the outermost shell of the planet and the biosphere. Soils, which are the Earth's skin, are sensitive archives of any major human‐induced local to global change. Especially when buried, soils can permanently preserve the primordial traces of a significant impact of man on the environment, which occurred at different times and rates in different area…
Elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen zur Capillarhyper�mie in der stimulierten Goldhamsterschilddr�se
1966
Untersuchungen an 32 kalte- bzw. thyreotropinaktivierten Goldhamsterschilddrusen unter Vergleich mit den Glanduale thyreoideae 8 normaktiver Tiere ergaben: 1. Mit einsetzender Kolloidmobilisation werden oberhalb der lichtoptisch erkennbaren Basalmembran der Follikel gelegene, intraepitheliale Capillaren entfaltet. 2. Am Endothel dieser intraepithelialen Capillaren treten hierbei breitere Poren auf, die jedoch durch ein Diaphragma verschlossen bleiben (Endothelfenster). Anscheinend erfolgt ferner ein cytopemptischer Transport von Material aus dem erweiterten periendothelialen Spalt in Richtung Saftestrom. 3. In der Nachbarschaft aktivierter Thyreocyten, insbesondere wenn letztere Anzeichen e…
