Management of Listeria monocytogenes on Surfaces via Relative Air Humidity: Key Role of Cell Envelope
2021
International audience; Although relative air humidity (RH) strongly influences microbial survival, its use for fighting surface pathogens in the food industry has been inadequately considered. We asked whether RH control could destroy Listeria monocytogenes EGDe by envelope damage. The impact of dehydration in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 75%, 68%, 43% and 11% RH on the bacterial envelope was investigated using flow cytometry and atomic force microscopy. Changes after rehydration in the protein secondary structure and peptidoglycan were investigated by infrared spectroscopy. Complementary cultivability measurements were performed by running dehydration–rehydration with combinations o…
Juicios y sentencias del Tribunal de la Santa Inquisición de Murcia contra ciudadanos residentes en la Corona de Aragón, desde el siglo XV al XIX
2020
Resumen: Durante cinco siglos, el tribunal de la Inquisicon de Murcia se encargo de juzgar los casos mas diversos y realizar innumerables persecuciones, con mayor o menor intensidad y dureza, contra aquellos que se salian de la doctrina represiva marcada por la iglesia. A los supuestos delitos religiosos contra la doctrina y la fe, se unian aquellos de caracter sexual, ademas de los llevados a cabo contra numerosos clerigos de dudoso comportamiento e integridad etica y moral.Extraidos del catalogo publicado por Juan Blaquez Miguel en la revista Murgetana en el ano 1987, teniendo como fuente principal la documentacion existente en el Archivo Historico Nacional, el estudio que se presenta ana…
Brīvība un vārds: rakstu krājums
2022
On February 14, 2022, the philosophy doctoral students organised the section “Freedom and Word” within the framework of the 80th International Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia. The collection contains proceedings read by doctoral students of the philosophy program. The proceedings reflect the topicality of freedom and word in the crosssection of the 21st century. The authors address the similitude and unifying aspects of individual and societal freedom, freedom as a practice, the borderline situations of using the word, and the relationship between the word and freedom.
On Using Conceptual Modeling for Ontologies
2004
Are database concepts and techniques suitable for ontology design and management? The question has been on the floor for some time already. It gets a new emphasis today, thanks to the focus on ontologies and ontology services due to the spread of web services as a new paradigm for information management. This paper analyzes some of the arguments that are relevant to the debate, in particular the question whether conceptual data models would adequately support the design and use of ontologies. It concludes suggesting a hybrid approach, combining databases and logic-based services.
Trust-enhanced intelligent security model
2012
In this paper we propose a trust-enhancement of access control to protect both integrity and confidentiality based on trustworthiness of users performing operations and documents' content analysis. We propose to utilize trustworthiness opinions from subjective logic and express levels of integrity as levels of trustworthiness. We assign confidentiality levels based on contents of documents and use opinions to express trustworthiness of such assignments.
Tautu tiesības uz ārējo pašnoteikšanos
2019
Autore bakalaura darbā „Tautu tiesības uz ārējo pašnoteikšanos” analizē, vai starptautiskajās tiesībās mierinājuma atdalīšanās, kas sevī ietver tiesības tautai rupju cilvēktiesību pārkāpumu gadījumā atdalīties no valsts, ir nostiprinājusies kā paražu tiesību norma. Darbā tiek pētīta valstu prakse, normatīvie akti un starptautisko tiesību speciālistu atziņas, īpaši liekot uzsvaru uz notikumiem Kosovā. Kā arī tiek skaidrots, kā tiesības uz mierinājuma atdalīšanos mijiedarbojas ar tiesībām uz pašnoteikšanos un saturiski pretēju principu teritoriālā integritāte. Darbā tiek pierādīts, ka mierinājuma atdalīšanās šobrīd starptautiskajās tiesībās nav nostiprinājusies kā paražu tiesību norma vienvei…
Ultrascale+ for the new ATLAS calorimeter trigger board dedicated to jet identification
2018
To cope with the expected increase in luminosity at the Large Hadron Collider in 2021, the ATLAS collaboration is planning a major detector upgrade to be installed during Long Shutdown 2. As a part of this, the Level 1 trigger, based on calorimeter data, will be upgraded to exploit the fine granularity readout using a new system of Feature EXtractors (FEXs), which each reconstruct different physics objects for the trigger selection. The Jet FEX (jFEX) is one of three FEXs and has been conceived to identify small/large area jets, large area tau leptons, missing transverse energy and the total sum of the transverse energy. The use of the latest generation Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array …
SISTEMI VERDI COME CULTURA RIGENERATIVA: STRUMENTI E TECNOLOGIE
2021
The study analyzes and proposes in the historical and in the area immediately to it adjacent, the "values-nature" of the buildings through the creation of gardens wall and vertical gardens in the elevatiloy of non-monumental buildings. The study deepens in particular the specificity of the garden roof and the garden vertical, recognizing benefits and critical issues that distinguish these green systems for construction. It also deepens the concept of resilience in close relationship sustainability and regenerative design applied to the built environment. The theme of regenerative design is studied and promoted as an adaptive strategy at the design stage; it requires you to leave nature stre…
Can PBDEs affect the pathophysiologic complex of epithelium in lung diseases?
2020
Brominated flame-retardant (BFRs) exposure promotes multiple adverse health outcomes involved in oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissues damage. We investigated BFR effects, known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) (47, 99 and 209) in an air-liquid-interface (ALI) airway tissue derived from A549 cell line, and compared with ALI culture of primary human bronchial epithelial cells (pHBEC). The cells, exposed to PBDEs (47, 99 and 209) (0.01-1 mu M) for 24 h, were studied for IL-8, Muc5AC and Muc5B (mRNAs and proteins) production, as well as NOX-4 (mRNA) expression. Furthermore, we evaluated tight junction (TJ) integrity by Trans-Epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) measurements, …
Normal Values for Microperimetry with the MAIA Microperimeter: Sensitivity and Fixation Analysis in Healthy Adults and Children
2017
Purpose To establish normative values of retinal sensitivity and parameters describing the fixation pattern using macular analyzer integrity assessment (MAIA) microperimetry (Centervue, Padova, Italy) in adults and children. Methods A sample of 237 eyes of 237 healthy subjects aged between 10 and 70 years (mean age 30.63 ± 16.23 years) was evaluated using the MAIA microperimeter. The following parameters provided by the MAIA device were evaluated: average threshold (AT), macular integrity, fixation indexes (P1% and P2%), bivariate contour ellipse area (BCEA) for 95% and 63% of points, and horizontal (H) and vertical (V) axes of the ellipse of fixation. Differences between different age-rela…
