Doña Marina, otra vez. Las contradicciones de la propuesta de Inés M. Stranger en Malinche
2019
La obra Malinche, de Inés M. Stranger, configura una propuesta de reescritura de la Malinche como figura mítica incorporada al imaginario cultural hispanoamericano, que perdura hasta la actualidad. Es común el empleo de esta figura en diversos autores contemporáneos que abordan cuestiones relativas a las identidades nacionales latinoamericanas en sus textos. Algunas autoras han utilizado, además, este personaje para elaborar una reescritura del mito con perspectiva crítica, en relación al modo en que este califica a un modelo de mujer indígena con toda una serie de significados negativos. La obra de Inés M. Stranger a la que se dedica el presente trabajo tiene unos presupuestos similares. E…
Results from the Project 8 phase-1 cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy detector
2017
The Project 8 collaboration seeks to measure the absolute neutrino mass scale by means of precision spectroscopy of the beta decay of tritium. Our technique, cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy, measures the frequency of the radiation emitted by electrons produced by decays in an ambient magnetic field. Because the cyclotron frequency is inversely proportional to the electron's Lorentz factor, this is also a measurement of the electron's energy. In order to demonstrate the viability of this technique, we have assembled and successfully operated a prototype system, which uses a rectangular waveguide to collect the cyclotron radiation from internal conversion electrons emitted from a ga…
How Long-Term Contracts can Mitigate Inefficient Renegotiation Arising Due to Loss Aversion
2021
A loss-averse buyer and seller face an uncertain environment. Should they write a long-term contract or wait until the state of the world is realized? I show that simple long-term contracts perform better than insinuated in Herweg and Schmidt (2015), even though loss aversion makes renegotiation sometimes inefficient. During renegotiation, the outcome induced by the long-term contract constitutes the reference point to which the parties compare gains and losses induced by the renegotiated transaction. Whereas Herweg and Schmidt consider that the long-term contract is always performed, it should not in "bad" states. This alters the threat point in renegotiation, making it easier to renegotia…
The time course of face matching by internal and external features: Effects of context and inversion.
2010
AbstractEffects of context and inversion were studied in face matching tasks by measuring proportion correct as a function of exposure duration. Subjects were instructed to attend either internal features (task A) or external features (task B) and matched two consecutive face stimuli, which included either congruent, incongruent, or no facial context features. In congruent contexts matching performance rose fast and took very similar courses for both types of facial features. With no contexts internal and external features were found to be matched at an equal speed, while incongruent contexts seriously delayed matching performance for internal, but not for external features. Analysing the e…
Experimental study of the anaerobic urban wastewater treatment in a submerged hollow-fibre membrane bioreactor at pilot scale
2011
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of several operational variables on both biological and separation process performance in a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor pilot plant that treats urban wastewater. The pilot plant is equipped with two industrial hollow-fibre ultrafiltration membrane modules (PURON¿ Koch Membrane Systems, 30m 2 of filtration surface each). It was operated under mesophilic conditions (at 33°C), 70days of SRT, and variable HRT ranging from 20 to 6h. The effects of the influent COD/SO 4-S ratio (ranging from 2 to 12) and the MLTS concentration (ranging from 6 to 22gL -1) were also analysed. The main performance results were about 87% of COD removal, efflu…
Influence of basement heterogeneity on the architecture of low subsidence rate Paleozoic intracratonic basins (Ahnet and Mouydir basins, Central Saha…
2018
Abstract. The Paleozoic intracratonic North African Platform is characterized by an association of arches (ridges, domes, swells or paleo-highs) and low subsidence rate syncline basins of different wavelengths (75–620 km). The structural framework of the platform results from the accretion of Archean and Proterozoic terranes during the Pan-African orogeny (750–580 Ma). The Ahnet and Mouydir basins are successively delimited from east to west by the Amguid El Biod, Arak-Foum Belrem, and Azzel Matti arches, bounded by inherited Precambrian sub-vertical fault systems which were repeatedly reactivated or inverted during the Paleozoic. Major unconformities are related to several tectonic events …
Patto col diavolo e conversione nel «Theophilus» e nel «Basilius» di Rosvita di Gandersheim
2019
Questo documento esplora il tema del "patto con il diavolo" in due brevi poemi agiografici, "Teofilo" e "Basilius", composti circa nel 960 dalla suora sassone Hrotsvitha di Gandersheim. In queste poesie, il tema in questione è strettamente legato alla "conversione", un argomento che Hrotsvitha affronta spesso nelle sue opere. This paper explores the theme of the “pact with the devil” in two hagiographical short poems, «Theophilus» and «Basilius», composed about 960 by the Saxon nun Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim. In these poems, the theme in question is strictly related to the “conversion”, a topic that Hrotsvitha frequently deals with in her works. Cet article interroge le thème du “pacte avec …
An antigen fragment encompassing the AD2 domains of glycoprotein B from two different strains is sufficient for differentiation of primary vs. recurr…
2001
Primary human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection during pregnancy is a frequent cause of fatal damage in populations with low prevalence of HCMV. Differentiation of primary vs. recurrent HCMV infection is an important issue in prenatal counseling. Antibodies specific for viral glycoproteins become detectable only with considerable delay with relation to HCMV infection or IgG seroconversion. Thus, lack of glycoprotein specific (gp-specific) antibodies can serve as a convenient indicator to identify those pregnant women that bear an elevated risk for HCMV transplacental transmission and fetal sequelae. In the opposite case, presence of gp-specific antibodies virtually excludes HCMV primary infe…
Aspects concerning the manifestation of the students’ emotional intelligence
2010
Abstract In this study, we were proposed to investigate aspects concerning the manifestation of the students’ emotional intelligence, namely the extent to which the adolescents possess a series of capacities proper to emotional intelligence. Wayne Leon Payne defines emotional intelligence as being the ability which implies a creative relation with states of anxiety, pain and desire. Emotion depends on the way a person analyzes and evaluates a certain situation. In order to determine the emotional intelligence quotient, it was used the Emotional Intelligence Test for adults, in the version adapted by M. Rocco from R. Bar-On and D. Goleman. The personality dimensions were determined using the…
Validating erosion rate estimates provided by caesium-137 measurements for two small forested catchments in Calabria, southern Italy
2003
Increasing concern for problems of soil degradation and the off-site impacts of accelerated erosion has generated a need for improved methods of estimating rates and patterns of soil erosion by water. The use of environmental radionuclides, particularly 137 Cs, to estimate erosion rates has attracted increased attention and the approach has been shown to possess several important advantages. However, the use of 137 Cs measurements to estimate erosion rates introduces one important uncertainty, namely, the need to employ a conversion model or relationship to convert the measured reduction in the 137 Cs inventory to an estimate of the erosion rate. There have been few attempts to validate the…
