Distributed Consensus for Discrete-Time Directed Networks of Multiagents with Time-Delays and Random Communication Links
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/158731 Open Access This paper is concerned with the leader-following consensus problem in mean-square for a class of discrete-time multiagent systems. The multiagent systems under consideration are the directed and contain arbitrary discrete time-delays. The communication links are assumed to be time-varying and stochastic. It is also assumed that some agents in the network are well informed and act as leaders, and the others are followers. By introducing novel Lyapunov functionals and employing some new analytical techniques, sufficient conditi…

Indicaxanthin from
2018
Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) play a pivotal role in the etiopathogenesis of atherosclerosis through the activation of inflammatory signaling events eventually leading to endothelial dysfunction and senescence. In the present work, we investigated the effects of indicaxanthin, a bioavailable, redox-modulating phytochemical from Opuntia ficus indica fruits, with anti-inflammatory activity, against oxLDL-induced endothelial dysfunction. Human umbilical vein cord cells (HUVEC) were stimulated with human oxLDL, and the effects of indicaxanthin were evaluated in a range between 5 and 20 μM, consistent with its plasma level after a fruit meal (7 μM). Pretreatment with indicaxanthin si…
International Cooperation in Criminal Matters between Spain and Latin America
2006
ABSTRACTFor some years now, Spain has been in the vanguard of the court battle against international crime, particularly since the Pinochet case. The country’s progressive legislation about universal justice and the interpretation of such principle by the Spanish Constitutional Tribunal in the Guatemalan case (and later, in the Falung Gong case) are the reasons behind its exceptional role in the application of International Criminal Law. However, the exercise of this right entitled to the victims, when directed against the citizens of one of the permanent U. N. Security Council country members, has precipitated a legal reform in the end. It is undeniable that these States, and particularly …
Host chemical footprints induce host sex discrimination ability in egg parasitoids
2013
Trissolcus egg parasitoids, when perceiving the chemical footprints left on a substrate by pentatomid host bugs, adopt a motivated searching behaviour characterized by longer searching time on patches were signals are present. Once in contact with host chemical footprints, Trissolcus wasps search longer on traces left by associated hosts rather than non-associated species, and, in the former case, they search longer on traces left by females than males. Based on these evidences, we hypothesized that only associated hosts induce the ability to discriminate host sex in wasps. To test this hypothesis we investigated the ability of Trissolcus basalis, T. brochymenae, and Trissolcus sp. to disti…
Smart tourism : achieving sustainable development
2017
Smart tourismi on elektronisen tourismin seuraava askel, mikä käyttää hyväkseen yhteenliitettyjä systeemejä ja käyttäjiä datankeräyksessä. Paperin tarkoituksena on katsoa aihetta kestävän kehityksen kannalta ja löytää keinot, jotka ovat parhaita auttamaan tätä tarkoitusta. Saatava kirjallisuus suosittelee elämysten optimointia ja kustomointia turisteille, samalla kuin pidetään yllä paikallisten yrittäjien ja asukkaiden tarpeita. Laajan kaavan infrastruktuuriset muutokset eivät ole vielä kaikkialla mahdollisia, jonka takia suurin osa smart systeemeistä ovat internet käyttöisiä, luoden arvoa liittyen jo olemassa oleviin infrastruktuureihin. Smart Tourism is the evolution of electonic tourism,…
The Many Faces of Turku : An Essayistic Study of Urban Travel
2020
What does it mean to take a photographic, imaginary, or fictional journey to some destination? How does indirect observation of the object differ from direct observation? What are they like, the immediate and the mediated Turku? Which of them is more real or more authentic? Turku is Finland’s most poetic city. It is also the most European of our cities. As the flâneur saunters along the banks of the River Aura, he traverses several centuries. The murmur of yesteryear is to be heard in the old buildings and in the foliage of the time-honoured trees. Here is the cradle, the first home of Finnish civilization. The philosopher-poet is able to see into the essence of a city: he has the patience …

Parasites of Diplodus puntazzo in Western Mediterranean: Morphological, developmental and host-parasite relationships of monogeneans
2014
En España la acuicultura ha experimentado un gran crecimiento durante el pasado siglo, sin embargo, durante los últimos años se ha producido una disminución en la producción de las especies de cultivo más importantes, como la dorada, la lubina y el rodaballo (APROMAR, 2011). Esta situación ha supuesto la primera reducción en la producción de los últimos 25 años. Por este motivo, los productores españoles apuestan por la recuperación de la productividad y el aumento de la competitividad en el mercado y, para poder llevar a cabo estas mejoras, uno de los objetivos marcados es diversificar las especies cultivadas (APROMAR, 2011). En el Mediterráneo español, una de las especies candidatas para …
Una escultura de José Esteve Bonet en La Orotava (Tenerife)
2020
En septiembre de 1784 el escultor José Esteve Bonet concluía una imagen de Santa Catalina de Siena que fue remitida a la isla de Tenerife semanas después, gracias a la mediación del canónigo de Xátiva Miguel Lobera. De ese destino, el responsable del ajuste, el dinero pagado por ella y las cualidades que mostraba como pieza vestidera hay constancia en un apunte que incluye el diario o Libro de la Verdad, documento de vital importancia a la hora de conocer la actividad de su taller entre 1762 y 1802. En este artículo proponemos la identificación de dicha obra con una escultura transformada y alterada en lo iconográfico, que forma parte del patrimonio acumulado durante el siglo XIX por la act…
