Flame foliation: Evidence for a schistosity formed normal to the extension direction
2007
Abstract Foliations are normally thought to develop approximately parallel to the XY-plane of the finite strain ellipsoid, i.e., perpendicular to the main shortening direction. We present a new type of schistosity named “flame foliation” that forms orthogonal to the main extension direction, approximately parallel to the YZ-plane of finite strain. Flame foliation consists of anastomosing biotite-rich selvedges overprinting S1 in pelitic layers of metaturbitites in NW Namibia. The biotite crystals in the selvedges are peculiar because they are oriented oblique or orthogonal to the flame foliation itself and parallel to the previous S1 cleavage, a feature no other foliation shows. In some cas…
Identitats de gènere i esport. Masculinitats inductores i resistències a la masculinitat hegemònica al futbol espanyol.
2010
Com a contribució al recorregut històric de la Psicologia social, s'aborda ara el decurs d'un esport universal i l'atribució a un dels gèneres: el masculí, evidentment. L'autor es pregunta si s'ha produït algun canvi en el ethos de gènere del futbol com a conseqüència de la pròpia evolució de les relacions de gènere en la societat espanyola i en relació amb el que s'ha denominat la crisis de la masculinitat. I mira de contestar a abastament, en el contingut del seu detallat i documentat estudi, que es divideix en cinc parts. En la primera s'ofereix una revisió de la literatura sobre la qüestió i es desenvolupa el marc teòric en el qual es recolza la investigació presentada, en les tres segü…
Numerical analysis of composite plates with multiple delaminations subjected to uniaxial buckling load
2006
Abstract In this paper the buckling and post-buckling behaviour of unidirectional and cross-ply composite laminated plates with multiple delaminations has been studied. Finite elements analyses have been performed, using a linear buckling model, based on the solution of the eigenvalues problem, and a non-linear one, based on an incremental-iterative method. With non-linear method large displacements have been taken into account and also contact constraints between sublaminates have been added to avoid their interpenetration. It has been found that both delamination length and position and stacking sequence of the plies influence the critical load of the plate; furthermore, linear and non-li…
«Rimani maschio finché non ne arriva uno più maschio e più attivo di te». La costruzione delle maschilità omosessuali tra normalizzazione, complicità…
2015
The paper presents an overview of the main perspectives on social construction and representation of homosexual masculinities using critical masculinities theory. The analysis considers contemporary cultural representations of gay masculinities as hybrid phenomena that participate to the constitution of hegemonic classed and racialized (normative) masculinities. (Homo)normative masculinities contribute deeply to the process of the subordination of the masculine Other (and of women).
Non-accumulation of critical points of the Poincaré time on hyperbolic polycycles
2007
We call Poincare time the time associated to the Poincar6 (or first return) map of a vector field. In this paper we prove the non-accumulation of isolated critical points of the Poincare time T on hyperbolic polycycles of polynomial vector fields. The result is obtained by proving that the Poincare time of a hyperbolic polycycle either has an unbounded principal part or is an almost regular function. The result relies heavily on the proof of Il'yashenko's theorem on non-accumulation of limit cycles on hyperbolic polycycles.
Pour une définition opératoire de la notion de la professionnalité des universités françaises
1999
International audience; L'objet de cet article est de présenter la difficulté résidant dans la quantification et l'évaluation des critères de professionnalité dans les établissements d'enseignement supérieur, et plus particulièrement des universités. Celles-ci ont effectivement dû adapter leur offre de formations aux attentes de l'ensemble de leurs partenaires, dans un environnement contraint.
Assessing Hydrus-2D to Simulate Soil Water Content (SWC) and Salt Accumulation Under an SDI System: Application to a Potato Crop in a Semi-Arid Area …
2015
In this paper the suitability of the HYDRUS-2D model to simulate volumetric soil water content in the root zone of a potato crop under subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is initially assessed on the basis of a field study. Then, considering that the crop is moderately sensitive to soil salinity, the model is tested to predict the salt distribution around a buried emitter, when two different water qualities (i.e. electrical conductivity of 1.0 and 4.0 dS m-1) are used during the growing season (treatments T1 and T2). Finally, the soil volume in which salt accumulates is distinguished by the model for the two treatments, for which the respective yields are not significantly different. The resul…
Non-specific bronchial hyper-responsiveness in children with allergic rhinitis: relationship with the atopic status
2003
An increased prevalence of bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) has been demonstrated in children from a general population, and in non-asthmatic adults with allergic rhinitis. Thus, also children with allergic rhinitis are expected to be at higher risk of BHR. We evaluated the prevalence of BHR in a sample of non-asthmatic children with allergic rhinitis by means of the methacholine (Mch) bronchial challenge, and by monitorizing the airway patency using the daily peak expiratory flow variability (PEFv). Fifty-one children (ranged 6-15 years of age) with allergic rhinitis, ascertained by skin prick test to inhalant allergens, underwent a 14-day peak expiratory flow monitoring, and a Mch bro…
Association of Blattella germanica sensitization with atopic diseases in pediatric allergic patients
2011
The extent to which the sensitization to the German cockroach Blattella germanica (BG) affects onset/presence of rhinoconjunctivitis (RC) in children is unknown.
Proportional Venn diagram and determinants of allergic respiratory diseases in Italian adolescents
2011
Large variations in prevalence of atopy and allergic diseases are reported worldwide in children, but in epidemiological studies the use of skin prick tests (SPT) and spirometry along with questionnaires is not common in the Mediterranean Area. The present work was aimed at evaluating the prevalence of current asthma (CA), rhinoconjunctivitis (RC), and eczema (E), with atopy and respiratory function, and the role of risk factors for allergic respiratory diseases. A total of 2150 Italian schoolchildren were cross-sectionally investigated through respiratory questionnaire, SPT, and spirometry. A proportional Venn diagram quantified the distribution of CA, RC, and E, stratifying for allergic s…
