Activation of P2Y receptors by ATP and by its analogue, ADPbetaS, triggers two calcium signal pathways in the longitudinal muscle of mouse distal col…
2008
Our previous research showed that ATP and adenosine 5'-O-2-thiodiphosphate (ADPbetaS) induce contractile effects in the longitudinal muscle of mouse distal colon via activation of P2Y receptors which are not P2Y(1) or P2Y(12) subtypes. This study investigated the nature of the P2Y receptor subtype(s) and the mechanisms leading to the intracellular calcium concentration increase necessary to trigger muscular contraction. Motor responses of mouse colonic longitudinal muscle to P2Y receptor agonists were examined in vitro as changes in isometric tension. ATP or ADPbetaS induced muscular contraction, which was not affected by P2Y(11) or P2Y(13) selective antagonists. Calcium-free solution or th…

Improvement of heart iron with preserved patterns of iron store by CMR-guided chelation therapy
2014
[Formula: see text] multislice multiecho cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allows quantification of the segmental distribution of myocardial iron overload (MIO). We evaluated whether a preferential pattern MIO was preserved between two CMR scans in regularly chelated thalassaemia major (TM) patients.We evaluated prospectively 259 TM patients enrolled in the MIO in Thalassaemia (MIOT) network with a CMR follow-up (FU) study at 18 ± 3 months and significant MIO at baseline. The [Formula: see text] in the 16 segments and the global value were calculated. Four main circumferential regions (anterior, septal, inferior and lateral) were defined. We identified two groups: severe (n = 80, global [For…
Semantically enriched informed environment for multi-agent simulation : application to simulation in 3D virtual environment
2014
This thesis focuses on multi-agent simulation applied to the simulation of individuals in virtual 3D buildings. To do this, our work suggests to capitalize on the experience gained in the field of semantic web ontologies and inference engines to facilitate the design and development of intelligent behavior for agents operating in virtual worlds. The goal is to provide to agents a generic approach to managing their representation of the world and reason about this representation. For this, the central problem is based on the definition of a decidable ontology modeling all of the knowledge contained in the virtual 3D environment to enrich semantically the environment of a multi-agent simulati…

Epigrafía árabe del Emirato (siglo IX). Lápida de Tudela y estela de una omeya
2018
Repaso de la epigrafía del emirato y del protocolo de sus epitafios, con edición, traducción y estudio de dos piezas labradas con escritura árabe de estilo cúfico «arcaico». Una lápida se halló, fuera de contexto, en excavaciones practicadas junto a la catedral de Tudela; la otra es el epitafio de una dama Omeya descubierto antes de 1960, sin duda en la ciudad de Córdoba. Estas lápidas emirales se incorporan a la treintena de inscripciones conocidas del siglo IX en la Península Ibérica. 
 
 
 
 
Influence of culture on consumer behavior in the fashion industry
2014
Masteroppgave i økonomi og administrasjon – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Wearing clothes is one of the main factors that differentiate us from animals. Human beings began wearing clothes more than 170,000 years ago after the second-to-the-last-ice age. The historical invention of weaving machine changed the way fabrics were made and thus our garments; from being tailor made to being mass-produced. We may now dress differently depending on the time, the occasions, the environment, as well as based on culture. People all over the world can make different choices based on different preferences. Consumers buy the items with which they feel familiar and comfortable. An individual’s preferences and…
Bibliotecas versus librerías de grandes superficies comerciales : usuarios y clientes
2007
En este artículo se analiza la polémica que surgió en Estados Unidos en 1998 entre la pervivencia de la biblioteca tradicional y una nueva forma de entender la información en las librerías de las grandes superficies comerciales. Después de una breve historia del origen de las grandes librerías y su posterior integración en las grandes superficies comerciales se examina como ha influido en la biblioteca esta nueva práctica empresarial. Cómo pretende convertir al usuario en cliente y obligarle a pagar por determinados servicios bibliotecarios. Por último, reflexiona de la manera que la popularización del ordenador y la irrupción de Internet han reforzado el papel de la biblioteca como centro …

Maternal Oct-4 is a potential key regulator of the developmental competence of mouse oocytes
2008
Abstract Background The maternal contribution of transcripts and proteins supplied to the zygote is crucial for the progression from a gametic to an embryonic control of preimplantation development. Here we compared the transcriptional profiles of two types of mouse MII oocytes, one which is developmentally competent (MIISN oocyte), the other that ceases development at the 2-cell stage (MIINSN oocyte), with the aim of identifying genes and gene expression networks whose misregulated expression would contribute to a reduced developmental competence. Results We report that: 1) the transcription factor Oct-4 is absent in MIINSN oocytes, accounting for 2) the down-regulation of Stella, a matern…
