Stability of Asymmetric Lipid Bilayers Assessed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
2009
The asymmetric insertion of amphiphiles into biological membranes compromises the balance between the inner and outer monolayers. As a result, area expansion of the receiving leaflet and curvature strain may lead to membrane permeation, shape changes, or membrane fusion events. We have conducted both atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers to study the effect of an asymmetric distribution of lipids between the two monolayers on membrane stability. Highly asymmetric lipid bilayers were found to be surprisingly stable within the submicrosecond time span of the simulations. Even the limiting case of a monolayer immersed in …
Métabolisme sucre-citrate chez Leuconostoc mesenteroides
2001
Sugar citrate cometabolism in Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Bacteria from the genus Leuconostocplay roles in the dairy industry. The most important functions of this bacteria are their ability to produce CO 2 and flavour compounds through lactose heterofermentation and citrate uti- lization. Although the biotechnological role of the citrate metabolism is very important and widely appreciated, little is known about the genetic properties of Leuconostoc spp. In our laboratory, we cloned the genes responsible for citrate metabolism ( clyR mae citCDEFGOPcluster), for D-lactate dehydrogenase (ldhD) and for phosphotransacetylase ( pta). In addition we have planned to con- struct new vectors and we h…

On the Almost Everywhere Convergence of Multiple Fourier-Haar Series
2019
The paper deals with the question of convergence of multiple Fourier-Haar series with partial sums taken over homothetic copies of a given convex bounded set $$W\subset\mathbb{R}_+^n$$ containing the intersection of some neighborhood of the origin with $$\mathbb{R}_+^n$$ . It is proved that for this type sets W with symmetric structure it is guaranteed almost everywhere convergence of Fourier-Haar series of any function from the class L(ln+L)n−1.
GRB 090313 AND THE ORIGIN OF OPTICAL PEAKS IN GAMMA-RAY BURST LIGHT CURVES: IMPLICATIONS FOR LORENTZ FACTORS AND RADIO FLARES
2010
We use a sample of 19 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that exhibit single-peaked optical light curves to test the standard fireball model by investigating the relationship between the time of the onset of the afterglow and the temporal rising index. Our sample includes GRBs and X-ray flashes for which we derive a wide range of initial Lorentz factors (40 < Γ < 450). Using plausible model parameters, the typical frequency of the forward shock is expected to lie close to the optical band; within this low typical frequency framework, we use the optical data to constrain εe and show that values derived from the early time light-curve properties are consistent with published typical values derived from …
Evidence of oblate-prolate shape coexistence in the strongly-deformed nucleus 119Cs
2021
International audience; Prolate-oblate shape coexistence close to the ground state in the strongly-deformed proton-rich A≈120 nuclei is reported for the first time. One of the four reported bands in 119Cs, built on a 11/2− state at 670 keV, consists of nearly degenerate signature partners, and has properties which unequivocally indicate the strongly-coupled πh11/2[505]11/2− configuration associated with oblate shape. Together with the decoupled πh11/2[541]3/2− band built on the 11/2− prolate state at 110 keV, for which a half-life of T1/2=55(5)μs has been measured, the new bands bring evidence of shape coexistence at low spin in the proton-rich strongly deformed A≈120 nuclei, a phenomenon p…
Transformational leadership development to reduce employee sickness absence: A randomized controlled trial
2022
Objetivo - Dado que muchas organizaciones se enfrentan a un aumento de las bajas por enfermedad entre sus empleados, se ha destacado en la literatura el potencial del liderazgo transformacional para mejorar la salud de los empleados y gestionar más eficazmente las bajas por enfermedad. Sin embargo, las pruebas empíricas existentes sobre esa asociación no son concluyentes y son ambiguas, ya que se basan en métodos de investigación no experimentales y en medidas de resultado subjetivas. Además, sigue sin estar claro si un líder transformacional puede realmente mejorar la salud de los empleados o más bien aumentar la motivación para asistir al trabajo. Además, hay un conocimiento limitado de l…
Formació psicosocial en dinàmica de grups. Un espai per a explorar i aprendre, a partir de l'experiència empírica i tàcita sobre la dinàmica de grup …
2010
La Hª de la Psicologia social i de les organitzacions ha esdevingut 'en la creació d'alternatives docents' en models del tipus DFS 'Diploma en Formació Psicosocial' que és un programa de formació en dinàmica de grups. Es tracta d'una formació, no convencional, que permet als participants ser-ne els principals actors i viure una experiència, de la qual aprendre tant personalment com en grup i dins d'una Organització. Es tracta d'un model formatiu i s'inspira en les experiències residencials actuals del Tavistock Institute.britànic i de les similars que és realitzen a les grans capitals europees i nord-americanes. L'experiència que proposa el DFS permet una vivència col·lectiva, on poder inte…
A COLAB model Of workplace transformation in the criminal justice context
2021
AbstractThis chapter presents the COLAB model for promoting organisational learning and innovation with potential application in criminal justice-related organisations. We describe this model as a toolkit that built on the Change Laboratory model of workplace transformation but one augmented with the beneficial components of Activity Clinics, Boundary Crossing Workshops and Codesign methods and developed within the criminal justice context. Limitations and future directions for the model are discussed.
Trasformazione e riuso dei vuoti urbani: quattro casi studio
2016
Il saggio indaga su contesti urbani consolidati che contengono tracce appartenenti a preesistenze industriali oggi in disuso, ma che costituiscono originali trame urbane da reinterpretare, riqualificare e riutilizzare in alternativa alle nuove espansioni. Il progetto della trasformazione/cambiamento diviene una metodologia d’intervento che richiede approcci, sensibilità e strumenti adeguati, che vanno dal controllo urbanistico a quello architettonico, dalla verifica tecnologica e strutturale a quella sociale e fruitiva. Sono presentate alcune ipotesi progettuali che illustrano come la valorizzazione delle aree industriali possa contribuire alla rigenerazione urbana di interi quartieri o por…
