Biosensor Analysis of β2-Glycoprotein I–Reactive Autoantibodies: Evidence for Isotype-Specific Binding and Differentiation of Pathogenic from Infecti…

2007

Abstract Background: For the laboratory diagnosis of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) we developed a biosensor with the ability to distinguish between disease-relevant anti-β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI) autoantibodies (anti-β2GPI) and pathogen-specific β2GPI cross-reactive antibodies that occur transiently during infections. Methods: We used a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor device. For the detection of anti-β2GPI in serum samples, affinity-purified human β2GPI was covalently attached to a functionalized n-alkanethiol self-assembling monolayer on the biosensor chip. After verifying the specificity of the biosensor system with a panel of monoclonal antibodies to β2GPI, we analyzed s…

Diuron environmental levels effects on marine nematodes: Assessment of ecological indices, taxonomic diversity, and functional traits

2021

Abstract Coastal marine systems are the most sensitive zones to emerging pollutants. The present study aims to investigate the effect of Diuron on the meiofaunal assemblages, collected from the Bizerte channel (Tunisia). Microcosm experiments were set up using four increasing Diuron concentrations [D1 (10 ng g−1 dry weight (DW)), D2 (50 ng g−1 DW), D3 (250 ng g−1 DW) and (1250 ng g−1 DW)] compared to non-contaminated sediments (controls) and all plots were incubated for 30 days. Our results show that Diuron-supplemented sediments provoked the significant decrease of meiofaunal abundance as well as a change in nematodes' diversity and structure composition. All univariate indices, as well as…

The mechanically-based approach to 3D non-local linear elasticity theory: Long-range central interactions

2010

Abstract This paper presents the generalization to a three-dimensional (3D) case of a mechanically-based approach to non-local elasticity theory, recently proposed by the authors in a one-dimensional (1D) case. The proposed model assumes that the equilibrium of a volume element is attained by contact forces between adjacent elements and by long-range forces exerted by non-adjacent elements. Specifically, the long-range forces are modelled as central body forces depending on the relative displacement between the centroids of the volume elements, measured along the line connecting the centroids. Further, the long-range forces are assumed to be proportional to a proper, material-dependent, dis…

Silence et langage du corps dans le cinéma de Pier Paolo Pasolini

2015

In Pasolini’s films, the dialogue may be removed from the narrative of the film or even reduced significantly. It is not uncommon to see sequences without dialogue, where meaning effects are attributed exclusively to visual impact. In Oedipus Rex (1967), Pasolini combines a vision closer to painting with the captions prevalent throughout the film. The captions reveal the absence of a voice and mimic the identity of a third person. The inscriptions, such as “Where are you going, my youth? Where, my life?” deceive the continuity of images, and produce the same effect of an intervention of the first person narrator in a written text. This technique epitomises two film eras: Modern and Silent C…

Cuerpo fantasmático, cuerpo religioso, cuerpo corrupto: Viridiana, un discurso de los límites

1998

El propósito de este trabajo no consiste en analizar exhaustivamente el filme Viridiana (Luis Buñuel, 1961 ), pues ello rebasaría con mucho las dimensiones impuestas a este texto. Pretendemos tan sólo interrogar las funciones que el cuerpo asume en dicha película, así como los discursos que en el interior del filme dan cuenta de él. Entiéndasenos bien: no los discursos que pueden hablar de la película (múlti ples sin duda), sino Jos diversos tratamientos del cuerpo que la película emprende. Y es que Viridiana presenta cuerpos sometidos a diferentes metamorfosis, muchas de las cuales casan mal juntas: cuerpos que se deslizan en los límites de Jo masculino y Jo femenino, intercambiando sus pa…

Biofonctionnements des sols tropicaux et mode de gestion des terres

2000

L'effet de deux peuplements de nématodes phytoparasites a été étudié en conditions contrôlées sur la croissance du mil (#Pennisetum glaucum$). Les plants de mil (cv. IKMV 8201) ont été cultivés en pots sur du col collecté au Sud du Sénégal dans un champ cultivé (sol cultivé) et dans une jachère de 17 ans (sol de jachère). La moitié du sol de chacun des prélèvements à été stérilisée. Pour compenser l'effet de la stérilisation, six cycles de cultures de mil de deux mois ont été faits avant l'expérimentation. A l'issu de cette période, trois espèces ont été observées sur le sol cultivé non stérilisé : #Scutellonema cavanessi$, #Tylenchorhynchus gladiolatus$ et #Ditylenchus myceliophagus$, dans…

Transverse-momentum-dependent Multiplicities of Charged Hadrons in Muon-Deuteron Deep Inelastic Scattering

2017

A semi-inclusive measurement of charged hadron multiplicities in deep inelastic muon scattering off an isoscalar target was performed using data collected by the COMPASS Collaboration at CERN. The following kinematic domain is covered by the data: photon virtuality $Q^{2}>1$ (GeV/$c$)$^2$, invariant mass of the hadronic system $W > 5$ GeV/$c^2$, Bjorken scaling variable in the range $0.003 < x < 0.4$, fraction of the virtual photon energy carried by the hadron in the range $0.2 < z < 0.8$, square of the hadron transverse momentum with respect to the virtual photon direction in the range 0.02 (GeV/$c)^2 < P_{\rm{hT}}^{2} < 3$ (GeV/$c$)$^2$. The multiplicities are pres…
