De la exclusión a la heteronomía. Inmigrantes en la ficción televisiva Aída
Authors: Biscarrat Laetitia , Meléndez Malavé Natalia 
Published: January 2014

En fechas recientes el aumento de la inmigración en España ha favorecido una mayor visibilidad en todos los niveles de la sociedad, también en el ámbito de la ficción televisiva. Es justamente en ese contexto en el que fue estrenada por Tele5 la comedia de situación Aída. Consideramos este producto un punto de vista privilegiado para la indagación acerca de las representaciones e imaginarios sociales que acompañan al fenómeno migratorio. En este trabajo se aborda la evolución en el tratamiento que se le ha dispensado, con un corpus que recorre ocho temporadas de la telecomedia, entre 2005 y 2011. El objetivo es doble: por una parte, identificar los estereotipos etno-raciales y, por otra, estimar su intensidad ajustándonos a una escala que describe distintos grados. Al término de la medición diacrónica de la intensidad de dicha estereotipación, podemos afirmar que se dibuja una evolución a lo largo de las temporadas, pero que esta evolución no es estrictamente lineal. Abstract: Lately, the increasing rate of migrants in Spain has triggered their increased visibility in every sphere of society, including TV dramas. The community soap Aída which is broadcasted on Tele5 was created in this context. We consider TV fiction as a privileged standpoint to focus on media representations and social imaginaries linked to the migratory topic. Thus, this article deals with the evolution of migrants’ representations between 2005 and 2011, in other words 8 seasons of the community soap. We aim both at identifying racial stereotypes and measuring their intensity according to a qualitative scale. Eventually, this diachronic analysis of stereotypes reveals an evolution but it can’t be considered as a strict improvement.
La cabecera como signo de identidad del producto periódico: una aproximación teórico-práctica a los rótulos de la prensa diaria española en 2013
Authors: Díez Laura González , Cuadrado Pedro Pérez 
Published: January 2014

El presente artículo de investigación plantea, de un lado, una revisión teórica sobre uno de los elementos básicos de la identidad visual de la prensa diaria: la cabecera, elemento que permite al periódico adoptar una imagen editorial propia y diferencial frente a sus competidores debido a su valor corporativo y cuya aproximación teórica no ha sido abordada con claridad por parte de los principales expertos del diseño periodístico. De otro lado, el artículo da a conocer los resultados de un trabajo de campo centrado en el estudio de las cabeceras de las ediciones impresas de los diarios españoles y que analiza el aspecto formal gráfico y tipográfico de este elemento fundamental, para lo que se ha trabajado con una muestra integrada por más de un centenar de periódicos. Todo ello nos ha permitido concluir que la cabecera tipo de los periódicos diarios impresos españoles es un rótulo compuesto con tipografía de palo seco, en color negro, en positivo, de caja alta y baja, centrado al ancho de la mancha, volado y con un filete que subraya el conjunto. This research article raises, on one hand, a theoretical review about one of the basic elements of the visual identity of the daily press: the headboard, element that allows the newspaper to show a differential and own editorial image over its competitors due to its corporate value and whose theoretical approach has not been clearly addressed by leading experts of the newspaper design. On the other hand, the article gives the results of field work focused on the study of the headboards of the printed editions of Spanish newspapers and which analyzes the graphic and typographic formal aspect of this essential element, for which we have worked with an integrated sample composed by more than one hundred newspapers. All this allowed us to conclude that the header type of printed Spanish daily newspapers is a compound sign composed by a sans serif typography, in black colour, in positive, in upper and lowercase, focused to the width of the stain, flown and a line that underlines the whole set.
Model of lifetimes of the outer radiation belt electrons in a realistic magnetic field using realistic chorus wave parameters
Authors: Orlova Ksenia , Shprits Yuri 
Published: January 2014

AbstractThe outer radiation belt electrons in the inner magnetosphere show high variability during the geomagnetically disturbed conditions. Quasi‐linear diffusion theory provides both a framework for global prediction of particle loss at different energies and an understanding of the dynamics of different particle populations. It has been recently shown that the pitch angle scattering of electrons due to wave‐particle interaction with chorus waves modeled in a realistic magnetic field may be significantly different from those estimated in a dipole model. In this work, we present the lifetimes of 1 keV–2 MeV electrons computed in the Tsyganenko 89 magnetic field model for the night, dawn, prenoon, and postnoon magnetic local time (MLT) sectors for different levels of geomagnetic activity and distances. The lifetimes in the realistic field are also compared to those computed in the dipole model. We develop a realistic chorus lower band and upper band wave models for each MLT sector using the recent statistical studies of wave amplitude, wave normal angle, and wave spectral density distributions as functions of magnetic latitude, distance, and Kp index. The increase of plasma trough density with increasing latitude is also included. The obtained in the Tsyganenko 89 field electron lifetimes are parameterized and can be used in 2‐D/3‐D/4‐D convection and particle tracing codes.
Biomimetic Aerobic CH Olefination of Cyclic Enaminones at Room Temperature: Development toward the Synthesis of 1,3,5‐Trisubstituted Benzenes
Authors: Yu Yi‐Yun , Georg Gunda I. 
Published: January 2014

AbstractA green and mild protocol for the dehydrogenative olefination of cyclic enaminones was devised via palladium catalysis at room temperature using oxygen as the terminal oxidant. The synthetic utility of the olefinated cyclic enaminones afforded a series of unique 1,3,5‐trisubstituted benzenes via an unanticipated Diels–Alder tandem reaction. The broad substrate scope and good yields achieved with this new protocol provide an alternative pathway for arene functionalization.magnified image

Published: January 2014

AbstractKraftsonden ermöglichen die Echtzeitmessung von Kräften, die an verschiedenen Stellen großer Moleküle wirken, und eignen sich dazu, Strukturänderungen in Makromolekülen, z. B. Faltungsprozesse, zu erforschen.1–10 Die daraus gewonnen Informationen sind für unser Verständnis mechanochemischer Reaktivität grundlegend.2, 3, 6, 7 Zu diesem Zweck können kleine molekulare Kraftsonden in große Moleküle eingefügt werden.2, 3, 11–13 Einige der verfügbaren Systeme beruhen auf Mechanochromie, der Änderung des UV/Vis‐Absorptionsspektrums eines Moleküls als Resultat einer äußeren Kraft.1, 14 Hier präsentieren wir die neuartige Idee, molekulare Kraftsonden zu verwenden, deren Punktgruppensymmetrie infolge einer mechanischen Deformation verringert wird. Dies bewirkt ausgeprägte Änderungen in optischen Spektren der deformierten Moleküle, welche durch computergestützte Methoden ermittelt wurden. Die Änderungen sind reversibel und selbst bei geringen äußeren Kräften zu beobachten.
Direct Targeting of Rab‐GTPase–Effector Interactions

Published: January 2014

AbstractSmall GTPases are molecular switches using GDP/GTP alternation to control numerous vital cellular processes. Although aberrant function and regulation of GTPases are implicated in various human diseases, direct targeting of this class of proteins has proven difficult, as GTPase signaling and regulation is mediated by extensive and shallow protein interfaces. Here we report the development of inhibitors of protein–protein interactions involving Rab proteins, a subfamily of GTPases, which are key regulators of vesicular transport. Hydrocarbon‐stapled peptides were designed based on crystal structures of Rab proteins bound to their interaction partners. These modified peptides exhibit significantly increased affinities and include a stapled peptide (StRIP3) that selectively binds to activated Rab8a and inhibits a Rab8a–effector interaction in vitro.
“Is That All There Is?”: Time, Guilt, and Melancholia in Sleep No More and Macbeth
Authors: Churchill Christian J. 
Published: January 2014

AbstractThis paper uses the interactive performance play Sleep No More and William Shakespeare's Macbeth as bases for exploring the experience of depressive stasis. Freud's “Mourning and Melancholia” is used as a means of interpreting these works. Through the dramatic portraits of the self turned destructively upon itself found in these plays, psychoanalysis is offered as a way of imagining how grief and loss can be experienced as annihilating rather than transformative. At the core of Freud's essay is the idea that for the melancholic, time feels stuck. This paper posits that Sleep No More and Macbeth illuminate how we can think about patients in this condition and how we might try to grasp their experience of feeling like time has stopped and that hope is therefore lost.

ABSTRACTRecent reviews evidence that the naturally occurring compounds containing the chromone skeleton exhibit antiradical activities, providing protection against oxidative stress. The antioxidant activities of 13 new synthesized chromonyl‐2,4‐thiazolidinediones, chromonyl‐2,4‐imidazolidinediones and chromonyl‐2‐thioxoimidzolidine‐4‐ones were evaluated using in vitro antioxidant assays, including superoxide anion radical (), hydroxyl radical (), 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picryl‐hydrazyl free radical (DPPH•) scavenging capacity and total antioxidant capacity ferric ion reducing activity. Superoxide anion radical was produced using potassium superoxide/18‐crown‐6‐ether dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide, and the Fenton‐like reaction (Fe(II) + H2O2) was a generator of hydroxyl radicals. Chemiluminescence, spectrophotometry, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and 5,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrroline‐N‐oxide (DMPO) as the spin trap were the measurement techniques. The results showed that the majority of the chromone derivatives tested showed a strong scavenging effect towards free radicals, similar to the chemiluminescence reaction with superoxide anion radical with a high activity, inhibition of the DMPO‐OOH radical EPR signal (24–58%), the DMPO‐OH radical EPR signal (4–75%) and DPPH radical EPR signal (6–100%) at 1 mmol/L. Several of the examined compounds exhibited the high reduction potentials. The results obtained show that the new synthesized chromone derivatives may directly scavenger reactive oxygen species and thus may play a protective role against oxidative damage.

N,N′‐Bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)benzamidinates and ‐pivalamidinates of the s‐Block Metals Lithium, Potassium, and Calcium
Authors: Loh Claas , Seupel Susanne , Görls Helmar , Krieck Sven , Westerhausen Matthias 
Published: January 2014

AbstractMetalation of N,N′‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)benzamidine (1a) and ‐pivalamidine (1b) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with n‐butyllithium and potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide gives the corresponding N,N′‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)benzamidinates and ‐pivalamidinates of lithium, [(thf)2Li{(Dipp‐N)2C‐Ph}] (2a) and [(thf)Li{(Dipp‐N)2C‐tBu}] (2b), as well as of potassium, [(thf)3K{(Dipp‐N)2C‐Ph}] (3a) and [(thf)3K{(Dipp‐N)2C‐tBu}] (3b) (Dipp = 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl). Because metalation of these amidines is not possible with [(thf)2Ca{N(SiMe3)2}2], a metathetical approach has been chosen. Hence, the reaction of 3a with calcium iodide in THF yields (tetrahydrofuran)calcium bis[N,N′‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)benzamidinate] (4a). For the bulkier N,N′‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)pivalamidinate, heteroleptic [(thf)Ca{(Dipp‐N)2C‐tBu}{N(SiMe3)2}] (4b) forms. Depending on the softness and charge‐to‐radius ratio, syn configuration of the amidinate ligands is observed for 2a, 4a, and 4b, whereas the anti configuration is realized in complexes 2b, 3a, and 3b, the latter being stabilized by intramolecular metal–π interactions.

A finite element/volume method model of the depth‐averaged horizontally 2D shallow water equations
Authors: Yoshioka Hidekazu , Unami Koichi , Fujihara Masayuki 
Published: January 2014

SUMMARYAnalysis of surface water flows is of central importance in understanding and predicting a wide range of water engineering issues. Dynamics of surface water is reasonably well described using the shallow water equations (SWEs) with the hydrostatic pressure assumption. The SWEs are nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations that are in general required to be solved numerically. Application of a simple and efficient numerical model is desirable for solving the SWEs in practical problems. This study develops a new numerical model of the depth‐averaged horizontally 2D SWEs referred to as 2D finite element/volume method (2D FEVM) model. The continuity equation is solved with the conforming, standard Galerkin FEM scheme and momentum equations with an upwind, cell‐centered finite volume method scheme, utilizing the water surface elevation and the line discharges as unknowns aligned in a staggered manner. The 2D FEVM model relies on neither Riemann solvers nor high‐resolution algorithms in order to serve as a simple numerical model. Water at a rest state is exactly preserved in the model. A fully explicit temporal integration is achieved in the model using an efficient approximate matrix inversion method. A series of test problems, containing three benchmark problems and three experiments of transcritical flows, are carried out to assess accuracy and versatility of the model.
