Determination of mercury at picogram level in natural waters with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry by using 3D printed metal scavengers

2019

The determination of ultra-trace concentrations of Hg in natural water samples via preconcentration using 3D printed metal scavenger technique followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was developed. The determination of Hg in certified reference material ERM-CA615 (groundwater) was performed with high accuracy and precision resulting in recovery of 100 ± 3% and RSD <2.5%, respectively. Selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing was used to fabricate the scavengers using a mixture of polyamide-12 powder with thiol-functionalized silica. The preconcentration procedure is based on the adsorption of Hg on the scavenger and followed by elution of the preconcentrated Hg …

Focal Cortical Lesions Induce Bidirectional Changes in the Excitability of Fast Spiking and Non Fast Spiking Cortical Interneurons

2014

A physiological brain function requires neuronal networks to operate within a well-defined range of activity. Indeed, alterations in neuronal excitability have been associated with several pathological conditions, ranging from epilepsy to neuropsychiatric disorders. Changes in inhibitory transmission are known to play a key role in the development of hyperexcitability. However it is largely unknown whether specific interneuronal subpopulations contribute differentially to such pathological condition. In the present study we investigated functional alterations of inhibitory interneurons embedded in a hyperexcitable cortical circuit at the border of chronically induced focal lesions in mouse …

I Palazzi Enciclopedici: le passioni della conoscenza e le forme del possesso

2013

Il Palazzo Enciclopedico, come aspirazione alla conoscenza totale del mondo, ci costringe a interrogarci, per converso, sulle cesure che attraversano il campo del sapere entro cui ci muoviamo, e sulle finalità che può avere il mantenerle o il superarle. L’ossessione inesausta e sempre frustrata verso la totalità, in cui la ricerca si sostiene sulla meraviglia, sposta inoltre l’attenzione sulle passioni che stimolano la conoscenza: un piano di confronto dove arte e scienza, viste sotto un’angolazione storica, negoziano le loro reciproche posizioni, e non sempre risultano antagoniste. Infine, il metodo della raccolta e dell’esposizione ci induce a considerare il ruolo degli oggetti, i quali n…

Action in Perception: Prominent Visuo-Motor Functional Symmetry in Musicians during Music Listening.

2015

Musical training leads to sensory and motor neuroplastic changes in the human brain. Motivated by findings on enlarged corpus callosum in musicians and asymmetric somatomotor representation in string players, we investigated the relationship between musical training, callosal anatomy, and interhemispheric functional symmetry during music listening. Functional symmetry was increased in musicians compared to nonmusicians, and in keyboardists compared to string players. This increased functional symmetry was prominent in visual and motor brain networks. Callosal size did not significantly differ between groups except for the posterior callosum in musicians compared to nonmusicians. We conclude…

Las obras musicales en las radios universitarias

2018

The Spanish General Audiovisual Communication Law does not relate to Campus Radio Stations. In this context, Copyright Collection Societies do not cover them in their catalogues of general fees. For this reason, the holders of these radios are forced to negotiate them. Althoug the Intellectual Property Law and the Order ECD/2574/2015, of 2 December, contain obligations for Copyright Collection Societies, on this matter its enforcement are far from being achieved

Análisis de la sintomatología y los factores de riesgo asociados al uso de las pantallas de visualización de datos en usuarios adultos no presbitas

2013

La literatura científica presenta una cierta confusión sobre la prevalencia de los síntomas asociados al uso de las pantallas de visualización de datos (PVD), debido a varios factores tales como: las diferentes poblaciones estudiadas, edades, sexo y los métodos utilizados para su determinación. Se ha realizado un estudio para determinar la prevalencia de síntomas asociados al uso de las PVD (eliminando estos factores de confusión) y su relación con los factores de riesgo. Método. Participaron 97 usuarios de las PVD de entre 20 y 34 años. Después de un examen optométrico completo para determinar la ausencia de problemas refractivos importantes y de salud ocular, fueron excluidos 10 sujetos. …

Performance optimisation of biological pathway data storage, retrieval, analysis and its interactive visualisation

2018

The aim of this research was to optimise the performance of the storage, retrieval, analysis and interactive visualisation of biomolecular pathways data. This was achieved by the adoption of new technologies and a variety of highly optimised data structures, algorithms and strategies across the different layers of the software. The first challenge to overcome was the creation of a long-lasting, large-scale web application to enable pathways navigation; the Pathway Browser. This tool had to aggregate different modules to allow users to browse pathway content and use their own data to perform pathway analysis. Another challenge was the development of a high-performance pathway analysis tool t…

Diseño e implementación de una aplicación en Processing para la representación visual de datos multidimensionales utilizando técnicas de Minería de D…

2015

La posibilidad de disponer de representaciones gráficas de los datos es de gran valor a la hora de extraer conocimiento útil. Sus principales ventajas son la visualización de información de una forma sencilla, rápida y directa. No obstante, muchos de los conjuntos de datos contienen numerosos registros, que pueden ser de naturaleza multivariante. En estos casos, la representación visual de datos se convierte en una tarea complicada y las técnicas clásicas que suelen utilizarse obtienen resultados poco intuitivos. Esta tesis se plantea como objetivo el diseño e implementación de una aplicación versátil capaz de representar visualmente gran cantidad de datos multidimensionales de forma eficaz…
