Adrb3 adrenergic receptor is a key regulator of human myometrial apoptosis and inflammation during chorioamnionitis1
2008
The pathophysiology underlying preterm labor triggered by inflammatory conditions such as chorioamnionitis remains largely unclear. It has already been suggested that beta-3 adrenergic (ADRB3) agonists might be of interest in the pharmacological management of preterm labor. Although there is evidence implicating ADRB receptors in the control of inflammation, there are minimal data relating specifically to ADRB3. To explore the cellular consequences of chorioamnionitis and detect apoptosis, we first performed immunostaining and Western blot experiments on human myometrial samples obtained from women with confirmed chorioamnionitis. We then developed an in vitro model of chorioamnionitis by i…
PROPAGATING INTERFACES IN A TWO-LAYER BISTABLE NEURAL NETWORK
2006
The dynamics of propagating interfaces in a bistable neural network is investigated. We consider the network composed of two coupled 1D lattices and assume that they interact in a local spatial point (pin contact). The network unit is modeled by the FitzHugh–Nagumo-like system in a bistable oscillator mode. The interfaces describe the transition of the network units from the rest (unexcited) state to the excited state where each unit exhibits periodic sequences of excitation pulses or action potentials. We show how the localized inter-layer interaction provides an "excitatory" or "inhibitory" action to the oscillatory activity. In particular, we describe the interface propagation failure a…
Exploring fast proton transfer events associated with lateral proton diffusion on the surface of membranes
2019
Proton diffusion (PD) across biological membranes is a fundamental process in many biological systems, and much experimental and theoretical effort has been employed for deciphering it. Here, we report on a spectroscopic probe, which can be tightly tethered to the membrane, for following fast (nanosecond) proton transfer events on the surface of membranes. Our probe is composed of a photoacid that serves as our light-induced proton source for the initiation of the PD process. We use our probe to follow PD, and its pH dependence, on the surface of lipid vesicles composed of a zwitterionic headgroup, a negative headgroup, a headgroup that is composed only from the negative phosphate group, or…

Identification of the Jπ = 1− state in 218Ra populated via α decay of 222Th
2016
The α decay of 222Th populating the low-lying J π = 3− state, and also a proposed 1− state, in 218Ra has been observed. The observations suggest an excitation energy of 853 keV for the 1− state, which is 60 keV above the 3− state. The hindrance factors of these α decays give a possible boundary to the region of ground-state octupole deformation in the light-actinide nuclei. The relative positions of the J π = 1− and 3− states suggest they are produced by an octupole-vibrational mechanism, as opposed to α clustering or rotations of a reflection-asymmetric octupole-deformed shape. peerReviewed
Urheilu, rasismi ja Washingtonin punanahat
2014
[Johdanto] Tänä kesänä Yhdysvalloissa on keskusteltu urheiluun liittyvästä rasismista kahdessa merkittävässä tapauksessa, jotka ovat muodostuneet monilta osin toistensa vastakohdiksi. Huhtikuussa Los Angelesilaisen koripallojoukkueen omistaja Donald Sterling jäi kiinni rasistisista puheistaan, jotka hänen tietämättään nauhoitettiin. Sterling sai NBA-liigalta nopeasti elinikäisen toimintakiellon ja joutui myymään joukkueensa. Sterlingin tapauksessa korostettiin sitä, miten amerikkalaisen yhteiskunnassa vallitsee nollatoleranssi rasismin suhteen. Samaan aikaan on käyty myös toista keskusteltu myös siitä, tulisiko Washington Redskins-jalkapallojoukkueen vaihtaa Yhdysvaltain alkuperäisväestöä h…
La desheredación del menor de edad
2021
This work aims to answer the eternal question of the disinheritance of the child under legal age. To this end, we will approach the institute of disinheritance, its foundation and its jurisprudential evolution. We will also address the capacity and responsibility of the child under legal age and the emancipated minor. Subsequently, we will carry out the study of the disinheritance of the child under legal age, subject to the whim of the specific disinherited causes, since each of the causes provided for in art. 853 Spanish Civil Code are endowed with their own idiosyncrasy, being very complicated, if not impossible, to deal with the subject of this work apart from the vicissitudes that can …
Switching spatial scale reveals dominance-dependent social foraging tactics in a wild primate
2017
When foraging in a social group, individuals are faced with the choice of sampling their environment directly or exploiting the discoveries of others. The evolutionary dynamics of this trade-off have been explored mathematically through the producer-scrounger game, which has highlighted socially exploitative behaviours as a major potential cost of group living. However, our understanding of the tight interplay that can exist between social dominance and scrounging behaviour is limited. To date, only two theoretical studies have explored this relationship systematically, demonstrating that because scrounging requires joining a competitor at a resource, it should become exclusive to high-rank…
Rywalizacja międzypartyjna i wewnątrzpartyjna w kampanii referendum europejskiego w Wielkiej Brytanii z 2016 roku
2017
The objective of this paper is an analysis of the course of the 2016 EU referendum campaign from the perspective of the political battle between the parties and between intra -party factions. Besides the main goals of the UK’s leaving the EU or remaining within it, the stakes of the battle included the strengthening of one’s own political camp, the weakening of one’s opponents, the gaining of power within a party or, eventually, the gaining of power in the country. The article is divided into two major parts devoted to the analysis of inter -party rivalry and intra -party rivalry respectively. The referendum (both its campaign and results) has demolished the existing political make -up dete…
