Breve dissertazione sui Laboratori Internationali di Architettura di Camerino
Los laboratorios de la Junta para Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones Científicas (J.A.E.) y la Residencia de Estudiantes (1912-1939)
2007
-Jose.Luis.Barona@uv.es La política de jóvenes pensionados científicos en el extranjero desarrollada por la JAE tuvo un complemento importante en la puesta en marcha de una serie de pequeños laboratorios científicos y centros de investigación agrupados principalmente en el Instituto Nacional de Ciencias y la Residencia de Estudiantes. El presente artículo aporta una perspectiva general de la labor realizada por algunos de esos laboratorios, sus principales protagonistas y grupos de investigación, particularmente los relacionados con las investigaciones biomédicas. No se analiza la labor del Instituto Cajal o el Museo de Ciencias Naturales, que son objeto de otras contribuciones en este mism…
Voglio tempo. Reflejos emblemáticos en Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno de Benedetto Pamphilij y Georg Friedrich Handel.
2014
ABSTRACT: Allegorical and emblematic images do not appear exclusively in visual literature: Genres such as the Italian or the Italian-inspired Counter-Reformation oratorios, cantatas and sacred or moral operas often contain images quite similar in form and function to those published in the Seventeenth and early Eighteenth-century European collections of emblems. This article analyses some of these parallelisms in the particular case of Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (c. 1707), by the librettist and patron of the arts Cardinal Benedetto Pamphilj and the composer Georg Friedrich Handel. KEYWORDS: Emblem, Opera, Oratorio, Academy, Discourse, Allegory, Rhetoric, Aural, Visual, Pamphilj,…
Adipose stem cell niche reprograms the colorectal cancer stem cell metastatic machinery.
2021
Obesity is a strong risk factor for cancer progression, posing obesity-related cancer as one of the leading causes of death. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms that endow cancer cells with metastatic properties in patients affected by obesity remain unexplored. Here, we show that IL-6 and HGF, secreted by tumor neighboring visceral adipose stromal cells (V-ASCs), expand the metastatic colorectal (CR) cancer cell compartment (CD44v6 + ), which in turn secretes neurotrophins such as NGF and NT-3, and recruits adipose stem cells within tumor mass. Visceral adipose-derived factors promote vasculogenesis and the onset of metastatic dissemination by activation of STAT3, which inhibits miR-200…
Fetuin-A is Associated to Serum Calcium and AHSG T256S Genotype but Not to Coronary Artery Calcification
2015
Vascular calcification has been recently associated to an increased cardiovascular risk and mortality. In few studies, Fetuin-A showed an association to coronary artery calcification (CAC), although the physiopathological mechanism underlying this association has not been fully established yet. Seventy-four patients with one or more cardiovascular risk factor and asymptomatic for coronary vasculopathy were included in the study. CAC was evaluated by Agatston score. Serum Fetuin-A levels were determined by ELISA. Molecular analysis of AHSG T256S gene variant (rs4918) was performed by PCR-RFLP. Serum Fetuin-A was correlated to serum calcium (r = 0,321; P = 0,018), but not to serum phosphorous…
DeepSRE: Identification of sterol responsive elements and nuclear transcription factors Y proximity in human DNA by Convolutional Neural Network anal…
2021
SREBP1 and 2, are cholesterol sensors able to modulate cholesterol-related gene expression responses. SREBPs binding sites are characterized by the presence of multiple target sequences as SRE, NFY and SP1, that can be arranged differently in different genes, so that it is not easy to identify the binding site on the basis of direct DNA sequence analysis. This paper presents a complete workflow based on a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model able to detect putative SREBPs binding sites irrespective of target elements arrangements. The strategy is based on the recognition of SRE linked (less than 250 bp) to NFY sequences according to chromosomal localization derived from …

Scenografie del sacro: Convent Theatre and Music in Palermo, 1650-1750
From the second half of the seventeenth century, Palermo’s convents contributed to the musical framework of the city through the performance of musical plays, oratorios, feste teatrali and other similar works. It is known that since the Cinquecento, as well as contributing music to sacred services, female communities employed music to enrich and ornament their entertainments. With the emergence of the typically Baroque taste for astonishment, music began to play a more prominent role, becoming one of the most important elements in convent theatre. The nuns often took part in public performances, during which they sang and played musical instruments, thereby confirming that convent life was …
Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo
2022
Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…
Guía multimedia de operaciones básicas en análisis químico, farmacéutico y medioambiental
2008
En el presente proyecto se ha desarrollado una guía multimedia en formato electrónico como recurso de apoyo para la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las técnicas básicas del laboratorio analítico. La guía contiene ocho apartados donde los estudiantes pueden encontrar fácilmente información sobre las características de los reactivos químicos, descripción del material de laboratorio de uso frecuente, cómo se debe manejar y limpiar dicho material, instrucciones para no cometer errores en la operación de pesada de un sólido, como preparar de forma correcta una disolución, como llevar a cabo una valoración y las distintas etapas necesarias para calibrar un instrumento de medida, desde la preparación d…
