Lateralized memory storage and crossed inhibition during odor processing by Limax.
2000
After odor conditioning intact Limax maximus and injecting LY into their haemocoel, labeled groups of neurons are found in either the right or left procerebral lobe but never in both procerebral lobes. This suggests that a competitive interaction occurs between right and left odor processing pathways of which the procerebral lobe is a part. We use the nerve discharge in the external peritentacular nerve evoked by applying a puff of conditioned odor to the nose to document crossed inhibition between left and right odor processing pathways. Responses in the external peritentacular nerve evoked by stimulating one superior nose with a conditioned odor are strongly lateralized as responses occur…
Perfum antic dels temps de les fades: la crítica de Theodor W. Adorno a la música serial

En aquest article oferim una anàlisi del context històric en què Theodor W. Adorno va formular la seva crítica de la música serial l'endemà de la Segona Guerra Mundial
Les traduccions catalanes de Teodor Llorente: gènesi i model lingüístic
2013
El poeta Teodor Llorente fou unànimement reconegut en vida com un dels més excel·lents traductors castellans dels principals poetes romàntics europeus del segle XIX. En aquest sentit, cal destacar que la seua tasca traductora rebé les lloances d’autors com ara Joan Maragall i Joan Alcover. Tanmateix, el fet que la majoria d’aquestes versions líriques foren redactades en castellà portà a alguns crítics valencians de la segona meitat del segle XX, com ara Ricard Blasco, a qualificar-les d’«ocasions perdudes». I, possiblement, fou per això que la majoria d’investigadors oblidaren que Llorente també va traduir sis composicions líriques al català que el present estudi destaca i analitza, tant de…
Do pollinator distributions underlie the evolution of pollination ecotypes in the Cape shrub Erica plukenetii?
2013
Background and aims According to the Grant-Stebbins model of pollinator-driven divergence, plants that disperse beyond the range of their specialized pollinator may adapt to a new pollination system. Although this model provides a compelling explanation for pollination ecotype formation, few studies have directly tested its validity in nature. Here we investigate the distribution and pollination biology of several subspecies of the shrub Erica plukenetii from the Cape Floristic Region in South Africa. We analyse these data in a phylogenetic context and combine these results with information on pollinator ranges to test whether the evolution of pollination ecotypes is consistent with the Gra…
Methane and leachate pollutant emission potential from various fractions of municipal solid waste (MSW): effects of source separation and aerobic tre…
2002
The effects of source-separation of putrescibles as well as aerobic pre-treatment and landfill aeration on the pollutant emission potential of methane and leachate pollutants were studied in the fresh (PFMSW) and composted (CPFMSW) source-separated putrescible fraction of municipal solid waste, and in the grey waste, and in lysimeter landfilled grey waste and ten-year-old unsorted MSW from our landfill lysimeter study. After 0, 23 and 51 days, an aerobic lysimeter experiment, an elution test and biochemical methane potential (BMP) test was done on samples. PFMSW had high methane (CH4) potential (410 m3CH4 t-1TS) as well as a high amount of ammonium-nitrogen (3.6 kg NH4-N) was eluted, where…
Aroma behaviour during steam cooking within a potato starch-based model matrix.
2012
To help understand the organoleptic qualities of steam cooked foods, the kinetics of aroma release during cooking in a potato starch based model matrix was studied. Behaviour of components having a major impact in potato flavour were studied using solid phase micro extraction-gas chromatography (SPME-GC). Evolution of microstructure of potato starch model-matrix during steam cooking process was analyzed using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). Both aroma compounds that are naturally present in starch matrix and those that were added were analyzed. Both the aroma compounds naturally presented and those added had different behaviour depending on their physico-chemical properti…
Volatile compounds extracted from polypropylene sheets by hot water :influence of the temperature of sheets injection
1993
A study was made on polypropylene (PP) pellets degraded and not degraded and pointed out the presence and olfactive importance of volatile components extracted from PP pellets by hot water. Plastic packaging materials correspond to a further step of manufacturing: the injection step, and this is often conducted at high temperature. PP (not degraded) and PP-CR (degraded) were transformed into sheets at several temperatures; Lickens-Nickerson extracts were made and allowed the quantification of volatile compounds already identified. A statistical analysis showed that temperature was a very significant parameter. An increasing injection temperature (275 or 300°C° creates increasing quantities …
