La cúpula de la Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados de Valencia (I): el ámbito de la gloria

2007

-Rafael.G-Mahiques@uv.es Estudio iconográfico de los frescos de la cúpula de la Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados de Valencia, obra de Antonio Palomino realizada entre 1701 y 1704. Aproximación a un análisis del ámbito de la Gloria celestial. Aquí la Virgen aparece como reina e intercesora ante el Trono de Gracia, en donde, de acuerdo con la tradición iconográfica, se incluye a San Juan Bautista y los arma Christi portados por ángeles. En torno a este núcleo se disponen los bienaventurados, agrupados bajo el criterio de la Letanía Lauretana, en la cual María es invocada con los títulos de Reina de los Ángeles, de los Patriarcas, Profetas, Apóstoles, Mártires, Confesores, Vírgenes y …

Enantioseparation of nuarimol by affinity electrokinetic chromatography-partial filling technique using human serum albumin as chiral selector

2008

The present paper deals with the enantiomeric separation of nuarimol enantiomers by affinity EKC-partial filling technique using HSA as chiral selector. Firstly, a study of nuarimol interactions with HSA by CE-frontal analysis was performed. The binding parameters obtained for the first site of interaction were n(1) = 0.84; K(1) = 9.7 +/- 0.3x10(3 )M(-1) and the protein binding percentage of nuarimol at physiological concentration of HSA was 75.2 +/- 0.2%. Due to the moderate affinity of nuarimol towards HSA the possibility of using this protein as chiral selector for the separation of nuarimol using the partial filling technique was evaluated. A multivariate optimization approach of the mo…

Driving Through Neoliberalism : Finnish Truck Drivers Constructing Respectable Male Worker Subjectivities

2017

This chapter analyses how Finnish male truck drivers (re)produce themselves as respectable male workers in the face of the recent economic, technological and institutional transformations impacting the European haulage sector. The investigation is based on ethnographic data which are produced by riding along on assignments with ten male Finnish truck drivers in the period 2012–2016. The analysis shows how truck drivers’ independence and value in the work process has become challenged and how truckers experience being occupationally stigmatized. The study argues, however, that while economic restructuring undermines some components of traditional forms of working-class masculinity, masculine…

Atomic layer deposition of WO3 thin films using W(CO)6 and O3 precursors

2012

Here we report a new atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for WO3 thin films based on W(CO)6 as a tungsten source and ozone as a source of oxygen. A narrow ALD temperature window is found at 195–205 °C for WO3 with a deposition rate of 0.23 A per cycle. As-deposited films are partially crystalline with root mean square (rms) roughness values of 4.7 nm for 90 nm thick films; annealing the films at 600–1000 °C under oxygen or nitrogen atmospheres enhances the degree of crystallinity considerably. Our results show that the straightforward ALD chemistry of carbonyl compounds and ozone is applicable to the deposition of WO3 thin films.

Probing the electronic states of high-TMR off-stoichiometric Co2MnSi thin films by hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

2014

The tunnel magnetoresistance ratio (TMR) of fully epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions with an off-stoichiometric Co${}_{2}$MnSi Heusler alloy has been shown to exhibit a systematic dependence on Mn content, reaching 1135% at 4.2 K for Co${}_{2}$Mn${}_{1.29}$Si. In this paper, we explain the behavior of the observed TMR ratio using ab initio calculations and hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES). For the Mn-deficient samples, we show that the the drop of the TMR is caused by Co antisite atoms, which impose extra states into the minority-spin band gap. On the other hand, Mn-excess composition shows nearly half-metallic behavior. This result can be intuitively understood since both Co…

Protonation equilibria of some ortho-substituted and annelated aryl and thiophen-2-yl and -3-yl ketones

2001

For some phenyl- (1–8) and thiophen-2-yl (9–11) and thiophen-3-yl (12–14) ketones quantum-mechanical (PM3) calculations have been performed, and for compounds 2, 3, 5–8, 10–14 protonation equilibria have been determined. Phenyl ketones have similar values for the m* parameter and show good linear correlation between the proton affinities calculated in the gas phase and the measured pKBH+ values, which in turn parallel the trend for the calculated carbonyl–phenyl ring dihedral angle. It appears that the differences in basicity are governed essentially by “internal” factors (carbonyl–ring conjugation), while the base–conjugate acid differential solvation is not significantly affected by struc…

NMR structure of a non-conjugatable, ADP-ribosylation associated, ubiquitin-like domain from Tetrahymena thermophila polyubiquitin locus.

2019

Abstract Background Ubiquitin-like domains (UbLs), in addition to being post-translationally conjugated to the target through the E1-E2-E3 enzymatic cascade, can be translated as a part of the protein they ought to regulate. As integral UbLs coexist with the rest of the protein, their structural properties can differ from canonical ubiquitin, depending on the protein context and how they interact with it. In this work, we investigate T.th-ubl5, a UbL present in a polyubiquitin locus of Tetrahymena thermophila, which is integral to an ADP-ribosyl transferase protein. Only one other co-occurrence of these two domains within the same protein has been reported. Methods NMR, multiple sequence al…

From UML Specification into FPGA Implementation

2014

In the paper a method of using the Unified Modeling Language for specification of digital systems, especially logic controllers, is presented. The proposed method is based mainly on the UML state machine di- agrams and uses Hierarchical Concurrent Finite State Machines (HCFSMs) as a temporary model. The paper shows a way to transform the UML diagrams, expressed in XML language, to the form that is acceptable by reconfigurable FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Ar- rays). The UML specification is used to generate an eective program in Hardware Description Languages (HDLs), especially Verilog.
