Gracilariaceae

description: Gracilariaceae subfam. Gracilarioideae Stizenberger, 1860: 41, emend.
 TYPE: Gracilaria compressa (C. Agardh) Greville 1830: 125, basionym: Sphaerococcus compressus C. Agardh 1822: 308; which is now Gracilaria bursa-pastoris (S.G. Gmelin) P.C. Silva 1952: 265; basionym: Fucus bursa-pastoris S.G. Gmelin 1768: 121, pl. VIII [8]: fig. 3. This is the type species for the genus, subfamily, family, and order.
DIAGNOSIS: Free-living or parasitic. Tetrasporangia either in sori or not associated with any special development of cortical cells; spermatangial parent cells of outer cortical, subcortical and intercalary cell origin, distributed either as conceptacles of different depths and shapes (i.e., cavities within the thallus) or cortical and superficial, without the formation of nemathecia; gonimoblast individual cells often irregular in shape, gonimoblast mass not filling the entire cystocarp cavity; carposporangia formed in short files; transition between gonimoblasts and carposporangia gradual or pronounced at different stages of maturity, mature carposporangia large and conspicuously differentiated from mature gonimoblasts.
 GENERA IN SUBFAM. GRACILARIOIDEAE: Agarophyton (herein), Crassa (herein), Gracilaria (including Congracilaria Yamamoto, Gracilariophila Setchell et H.L.Wilson - in part, and Gracilariocolax Weber-van Bosse), Gracilariopsis Dawson (including Gracilariophila in part) and Hydropuntia Montagne.
 REMARKS: On the basis of phylogenetic results only, Congracilaria and Gracilariophila should be subsumed into one of three of the genera in the subfam. Gracilarioideae (Ng et al. 2014, 2015, 2016). The generitype Congracilaria babae H. Yamamoto (1986: 287) was treated as belonging in the genus Gracilaria by Ng et al. (2014, as Gracilaria babae (H. Yamamoto) Ng, P. -K. P.-E.Lim et S.-M. Phang). Ng et al. (2014) also suggested Gracilariocolax Weber-van Bosse (1928) to be congeneric with Gracilaria. Due to their highly modified morphology, we refrain from making a taxonomic opinion on the alloparasite Holmsella Sturch (Fredericq & Hommersand 1990c).

description: Small-scale continuous apparatuses for solid product manufacturing are receiving increasing interest due to the demand for the fast market availability of specialty chemical products manufactured in integrated and modular processing plants. Relevant unit operations span from crystallization over solid–liquid separation and filter cake washing to drying. For this purpose, the quasi-continuous filter belt crystallizer (QCFBC) was developed and is presented here. The newly integrated unit operations with positive pressure filtration (Δ𝑝max = 0.8 bar), filter cake washing (𝑉˙wash = 55 mL·min−1), and convection drying (𝑇dry = 60 °C) have been individually characterized and integrated into the filter apparatus that has been modified for continuous operation. They were synchronized with the flexible cooling crystallization, enabling for a seamless production process. Sucrose in water was used as model substance system. Long-term operations of up to 14 h were successfully performed with dry product filter cakes (22.64 g ± 1.64 g·h−1) of constant quality attributes (𝑥50,3 = 216.095 ± 14.766, 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑛 = 0.347 ± 0.109, 𝑌rel. = 69.9% ± 5%, 𝑋RM = 1.64 mg·g−1 ± 1.38 mg·g−1).

description: This paper, following an analysis of the literature and taking some key concepts related to parenting, highlights the possible transmissive relationships on perception related to parenting style, through a qualitative research conducted in the Umbrian territories and Tuscany. The intent was to access, through semi-structured interview, to the prospect of the subject, accepting his point of view, his interpretations of the theme and perceptions regarding personal experience. The aim was to see if and how the perception of the “aggregate” parental style adopted by their primary caregivers, influence the reflection and perception level of the educational model that is adopted (in the case of couples already with children) or that is intended to take (in the case of those surveyed whom are not yet parents), towards their children. The research was aimed to highlight any differences arising in connection with such perception among those who already play the parental role and those not yet parents. Thus, is there a perception of intergenerational transmission of educational styles? How these perceptions influence the practices? The style of education experienced as children, will influence or is influencing the way of being a parent and the choice of parenting style?

description: Nanofiltration is well suited to separate monovalent ions from multivalent ions, such as the separation of Li+ and Mg2+ from seawater, a potential lithium source for the production of lithium-ion batteries. To the best of our knowledge, there is no existing work on the optimization of a multi-stage membrane plant that differentiates between different ions and that is based on a validated transport model. This study presents a method for modeling predefined membrane interconnections using discretization along the membrane length and across the membrane thickness. The solution-diffusion–electromigration model was used as the transport model in a fundamental membrane flowsheet, and the model was employed to optimize a given flowsheet with a flexible objective function. The methodology was evaluated for three distinct separation tasks, and optimized operating points were found. These show that permeances and feed concentrations might cause negative rejections and positive rejections (especially for bivalent ions) depending on the ions’ properties and fluxes, thereby allowing for a favorable separation between the ions of different valence at optimized conditions. In an application-based case study for the separation of Li+ and Mg2+ from seawater, the method showed that under optimal conditions, the mol-based ratio of Mg2+/Li+ can be reduced from 2383 to 2.8 in three membrane stages.

description: The present study focuses on family resilience, exploring adaptation, transformation and growth processes experienced by families undergoing critical situations. To this aim we performed a qualitative research to enlight resilience in six families currently living in San Pedro prison of La Paz (Bolivia) where wives and children are allowed to live with the detainees fathers. Both parents of each family were given a semi-structured interview, pointing at highlighting resilience processes in three main domains: systems of beliefs, patterns of family organization and conflict-solving devices. By implementing ‘Grounded Theory’ approach in our interpretation of data, we identified both common strategies and specific solutions families adopted to reorganize and rebuild their family life, preserving their social and emotional relationships, assuming new responsibilities and engaging in projects for the future.

description: For sustainable production of wood in short-rotation coppices and agroforestry systems, it is necessary to optimize the storage processes to achieve low dry matter losses together with low-cost drying. The harvesting of the trees can be carried out very efficiently with modified forage harvesters or tractor-powered mower-chippers. The wood chips produced can be dried naturally at low cost in open-air piles. However, this type of storage is connected with high dry matter losses of up to about one fourth in the course of seven-month storage. Although harvesting whole trees is connected with significantly higher costs, lower dry matter losses are to be expected from storing the trees in piles. Consequently, in this study, the storage and drying behavior of poplar under different German weather conditions and depending on the structure of the storage piles has been examined in detail. After a seven-months storage period, the trees still displayed moisture contents of 41–44% following an initial moisture content of 56% but achieved very low dry matter losses of only 4–7%. Moisture contents of 35–39% could only be achieved in October after a further two-months drying period under favorable weather conditions. All storage piles were built up on approximately 30 cm high support timbers for better ventilation. Additionally, covering the ground with a fleece did not have any influence on the drying behavior, nor did different pile heights. Smaller tree trunk diameters are not only connected with a higher share of bark or ash, but also thinner trunks tend to become damp again more quickly after rainfall. That is why whole-tree storage is suitable above all for medium or longer rotation periods with which, under favorable conditions, the higher harvesting costs can be compensated by a higher wood chip quality and lower storage losses.

description: Foreign unaccompanied and separated children represent a specific and a very substantial segment in migratory phenomenon, which involves European countries, including Italy. This phenomenon is taking on increasing importance, not only and not just in terms of quantity, but also in relation to the challenges posed to the system of social protection. Moreover, we have to say that different currents of though about the contemporary migration are agreed that immigrant people are the actors of a culture of connection on which they live the experience of mobility. This culture of connection has become evident and very dynamic since migrants have started to use massively new technologies of information and communication.

Grasping Parental Behaviours through the Eyes of Romanian Adolescents Affected by Parental or Family Migration
Creators: name: Popa, Nicoleta Laura
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Educazione Familiare
Year: 2016

description: Romanian labour migration determined changes in family structure and life, whether one looks on temporary or permanent migration patterns. Within this larger framework, we introduce results of an empirical study exploring the influence of parental or family migration, but also of family residence (urban or rural), on views about parental behaviours and family support in two groups of Romanian adolescents, namely left behind in the home country and migrants with their families. Results highlight some variations of adolescents’ views about parental behaviours and family support, according to parental/family migration and family residence, but they mainly account for tendencies and may not be interpreted categorically. Nevertheless, the present study suggests that parents’ migration associated with the decision of leaving the children behind in the home country can potentially disrupt parent-child relationships, and determine more negative perceptions of parenting behaviours than in the case of whole family migration.

description: Naked mole rats live in eusocial colonies where subordinates help a single dominant female and a few males to breed. We investigated the genome-wide regulatory mechanisms underlying their reproductive division of labor by examining brain and gonad transcriptomes and DNA-methylomes. Subtle expression differences were observed between brains of dominants and subordinates, but differentially expressed genes clustered consistently in a module with similar function for both sexes. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH1) was central in this module and linked with stress-response genes such as neuropeptide Y and corticotrophin-releasing hormone. Breeder-subordinate modifications in DNA methylation were substantial in male brains and associated with the GNRH1 module. The GNRH1-regulated estrogen synthesis pathway was completely blocked in subordinate ovaries and sperm-related genes were significantly down-regulated in subordinate testes. Our results indicate that reproductive suppression is based on hormonal- and stress-related control by the dominant female, but with significant differences in molecular mechanisms between males and females.Overall design: Naked mole rats were housed in our laboratory. Animals were sacrificed, and the tissues immediately frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. Tissues were obtained from male (n = 2) and female (n = 2) breeders as well as male (n = 2) and female (n = 2) non-breeders (subordinates). We analyzed brains from all eight individuals separately, but female ovaries were only large enough for individual analysis in breeders, whereas subordinate ovaries were so small that 3–5 of them had to be pooled for gene expression analyses. The testes of breeding and non-breeding males were not visually different, but breeder status was known because these males had previously sired pups.

description: DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most serious forms of DNA damage to the cell, causing genomic instability and ultimately carcinogenesis. In this study, we hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the micro RNA (miRNA)-binding sites of DSB repair genes may influence cancer risk by dysregulating target gene expression. To test our hypothesis, we firstly performed functional prediction for common SNPs in DSB genes and found 12 potentially functional SNPs located at the miRNA-binding sites. We then investigated their associations with risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in 1087 patients and 1090 cancer-free controls in a non-Hispanic white population. As a result, SNP rs7213430 in BRIP1 was found to be significantly associated with cancer risk (Ptrend = 0.021). Compared with the AA homozygotes, the G allele carriers had an increased risk of SCCHN (adjusted OR 1.16, 95 % CI 1.02–1.31). Marginal significance was found for another SNP rs15869 in BRCA2 (P = 0.053). Further, functional analyses showed that SNP rs7213430 is within the miR-101 seed-binding region, and the variant G allele could lead to significantly lower luciferase activity and BRIP1 mRNA expression, compared to the A allele with the presence of miR-101. Our results suggested that SNP rs7213430 in the 3′-UTR of BRIP1 might contribute to SCCHN susceptibility by affecting the binding activity of miR-101 and resulting in a decreased BRIP1 expression. Additional larger population and functional studies are warranted to confirm our findings.

description: The informal social support is part of the interventions envisaged in the national programme P.I.P.P.I. (Programme of Intervention for Prevention of Institutionalization), launched in 2010 by the Italian Ministry of Welfare in collaboration with University of Padua. P.I.P.P.I. involves to date 123 cities, for 2,000 children that are experimenting new strategies in order to prevent out-of-home placement. Since the studies in this field and since the neurobiology findings on the positive relationship between social support and parents’ positive behaviours and then between the social relationships and cognitive, emotional and social development of the child, the article explores the theories of informal social support and considers them in relation to the P.I.P.P.I. experiences. The aim is to identify effective strategies, in order to enhance social relationships and responding to problems connected to child neglect.

description: Time-dependent density functional theory is thoroughly benchmarked for the predictive calculation of UV–vis spectra of porphyrin derivatives. With the aim to provide an approach that is computationally feasible for large-scale applications such as biological systems or molecular framework materials, albeit performing with high accuracy for the Q-bands, the results given by various computational protocols, including basis sets, density-functionals (including gradient corrected local functionals, hybrids, double hybrids and range-separated functionals), and various variants of time-dependent density functional theory, including the simplified Tamm–Dancoff approximation, are compared. An excellent choice for these calculations is the range-separated functional CAM-B3LYP in combination with the simplified Tamm–Dancoff approximation and a basis set of double-ζ quality def2-SVP (mean absolute error [MAE] of ≈0.05 eV). This is not surpassed by more expensive approaches, not even by double hybrid functionals, and solely systematic excitation energy scaling slightly improves the results (MAE ≈0.04 eV).

description: This paper presents a comprehensive model of an industrial electric arc furnace (EAF) that is based upon several rigorous first-principles submodels of the heat exchange in the EAF and practical experience from an industrial melt shop. The model is suited for process simulation, optimization, and control applications. It assumes that the energy demand of the process is satisfied by six sources, the electric arc, the oxy-fuel burners, the oxygen lances, the combustion of coal, and the oxidation of metal in the liquid and in the solid phase. The energy exchange between the liquid and the solid phase due to liquid metal splashing is also considered. The different mechanisms of heat exchange are represented in the model as follows: (a) the radiative heat exchange from the arc to the other phases is computed using the DC circuit analogy, where the view factors are calculated using exact formulae and Monte-Carlo algorithms. (b) The energy input from the oxy-fuel burner is modeled using simplified geometries for which heat transfer relationships are known. (c) The amount of heat released by the oxidation of solid metal is described by the quadratic corrosion formula. (d) The energy exchange from the bath to the solid phase due to splashing is modeled using relationships and experimental data that are available in the literature. The model contains the melting rates and the efficiency of the oxygen lancing as free parameters; their values were computed by a least squares fit to process data of an industrial Ultra-High-Power EAF. In comparison with existing EAF models, the model presented here describes the dynamic behavior of the melting process more realistically. Based on the model, time-dependent energy efficiency curves for the various contributions and for the overall process are computed and discussed.

description: BACKGROUND: Public health schools equip students with skills to promote and protect health, however, little is known about what is provided to support physical, mental and social wellbeing in academic public health. AIMS: To identify programs, interventions, strategies, and tools in medical and academic settings that could be applicable to supporting mental health and wellbeing of public health professionals, students, staff and faculty. METHOD: In November 2019 (updated in January 2022), 13 databases were searched: PubMed, 10 EBSCO databases(e.g., Academic Search Ultimate, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus, Education Source, ERIC, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, MEDLINE, SocINDEX), ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials, group interventions to support mental health curriculum, online tools, strategies, techniques, and programs of mindfulness, anxiety, depression, stress/distress, or burnout. Studies were limited to English and from 1998 to January 3, 2022. Websites for U.S. Schools of Public Health were searched. RESULTS: Out of 19,527 articles, 6,752 duplicates were removed. Following abstract and title screening, full-text articles will be screened for eligibility. The main themes from included studies will be shared. Preliminary findings show examples of activities to support well-being of public health professional students, staff, and faculty (e.g., providing free access to meditation apps, funding a dedicated wellness coordinator within the School). CONCLUSIONS: The literature on strategies to increase happiness and wellbeing among public health students, faculty, and staff is scarce and efforts to support physical mental, and social wellbeing for this community should be evaluated, and findings shared.

description: The behavior of annealed branched polymers near adsorbing surfaces plays a fundamental role in many biological and industrial processes. Most importantly single stranded RNA in solution tends to fold up and self-bind to form a highly branched structure. Using a mean field theory, we both perturbatively and numerically examine the adsorption of branched polymers on surfaces of several different geometries in a good solvent. Independent of the geometry of the wall, we observe that as branching density increases, surface tension decreases. However, we find a coupling between the branching density and curvature in that a further lowering of surface tension occurs when the wall curves towards the polymer, but the amount of lowering of surface tension decreases when the wall curves away from the polymer. We find that for branched polymers confined into spherical cavities, most of branch-points are located in the vicinity of the interior wall and the surface tension is minimized for a critical cavity radius. For branch polymers next to sinusoidal surfaces, we find that branch-points accumulate at the valleys while end-points on the peaks.

description: There is now an overwhelming scientific consensus on the importance of a collaboration between family and early childhood services (Brougère, 2005; Bennett, Rayna, 2005). This consensus also explains the omnipresence of this injunction of partnership both in official discourse and in regulatory texts (Brougère, 2005 Musatti et al., 2010). How this collaboration is it translated into the practices? This article investigates the relationships between day care centers and family in early childhood services in two European countries: Italy and France. Through in-depth interviews with educators in day care centers, our comparative research reveals how educators work with families. Through the analysis of educational practices of educators especially in the “routine”, the research results show first, two different conceptions of relationships with family and secondly, show that the collaboration between educators and family is differently organized in both countries studied.

description: This article was created from a dissertation which dealt with the issue of children's special needs, with particular regard to the age group 0-3. It moves from the attempt, today more current than ever, of the educational services to consider the diversity of each individual no longer as a limitation but as a value that can enrich all those who come in contact with it. In this perspective, the recognition and enhancement of diversity are a central theme in educational debate. The text speaks about inclusive educational services and the features they must have to respond to the special needs of the children that they receive. At the conclusion of this work, interviews have been made to some managers of educational services, from different areas of Tuscany. These interviews were made in order to point out how educational services welcome children with special needs. The result is a picture showing how educational services take steps to receive the diversity in general, and in particular in terms of disability, inside the nursery schools.

description: Monozygotic (MZ) twins stem from the same single fertilized egg and therefore share all their inherited genetic variation. This is one of the unequivocal facts on which genetic epidemiology and twin studies are based. To what extent this also implies that MZ twins share genotypes in adult tissues is not precisely established, but a common pragmatic assumption is that MZ twins are 100% genetically identical also in adult tissues. During the past decade, this view has been challenged by several reports, with observations of differences in post-zygotic copy number variations (CNVs) between members of the same MZ pair. In this study, we performed a systematic search for differences of CNVs within 38 adult MZ pairs who had been misclassified as dizygotic (DZ) twins by questionnaire-based assessment. Initial scoring by PennCNV suggested a total of 967 CNV discordances. The within-pair correlation in number of CNVs detected was strongly dependent on confidence score filtering and reached a plateau of r = 0.8 when restricting to CNVs detected with confidence score larger than 50. The top-ranked discordances were subsequently selected for validation by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), from which one single ~120kb deletion in NRXN1 on chromosome 2 (bp 51017111-51136802) was validated. Despite involving an exon, no sign of cognitive/mental consequences was apparent in the affected twin pair, potentially reflecting limited or lack of expression of the transcripts containing this exon in nerve/brain.

description: The town of Reggio Emilia has shown since the early years of the twentieth century a special interest in childhood. The establishment of nursery schools, for example the experience of the school of Villa Cella, a small fraction of Reggio Emilia, entirely unintended and partly managed by the inhabitants of the town, as well as show a marked sensitivity towards younger children and their employed mothers in work activities, demonstrates innovative thinking that sees in the pedagogical and family relationships a pin on which to rest education. Malaguzzi did just that as relying on family and relationship with family members the environmental education project, that is brought to light and spread, as well as with the school practice every day, thanks to the journal «Bambini». Born in 1988 in Reggio Emilia thanks to the work of Malaguzzi and his collaborators, the magazine stands in the Italian panorama for the importance given to childhood issues, including the education of the family and the centrality of family relationships in the educational project of children. In fact, the grant is intended to analyze the relevance of family relationships, showing, on the one hand, how they are declined in the magazine and on the other, the capacity for dialogue between different areas of educational research.

description: Illumina sequencing technology was used to study the dietary composition of Calanus sinicus, a dominant member of the marine zooplankton in continental shelf waters around China, Japan and Korea. Adults and copepodites (C5) were collected from coastal seas in southeastern Hong Kong (4 adults + 4 C5) and northern Taiwan (8 adults + 8 C5). Variable regions of the 18S and 16S rRNA genes were amplified using DNA extracted from pooled gut contents to determine the composition of eukaryotes and prokaryotes in the diet. For each sample, an average of 113,677 sequences were obtained for the 18S gene and 175,961 sequences were obtained for the 16S gene.Our finding suggests that C. sinicus, which is widely considered to be herbivorous, can feed omnivorously on both phytoplankton and zooplankton.

description: The culm growth of D. sinicus is extremely amazing: shooting initiate from early June, and height growth of culm end in late August. By the brief three months, new shoots can reach the height and diameter of adult mother bamboo – near to 30 cm of diameter and 30 m of height. To our knowledge, no any plant in this planet has faster growth rate compared with D. sinicus. To date, there was almost no molecular data of D. sinicus except SSR marker development, which extremely restricted its variety improvement and resource development. So, the high throughput RNA-Seq was performed to elucidate the molecular processes involved in the rapid culm elongation of D. sinicus during an integrated growing season.
Testing the minimal $S_4$ model of neutrinos with the Dirac and Majorana phases

description: We propose two new simple lepton flavor models in the framework of the $S_4$ flavor symmetry. The neutrino mass matrices, which are given by two complex parameters, lead to the inverted mass hierarchy. The charged lepton mass matrix has the 1-2 lepton flavor mixing, which gives the non-vanishing reactor angle $θ_{13}$. These models predict the Dirac phase and the Majorana phases, which are testable in the future experiments. The predicted magnitudes of the effective neutrino mass for the neutrino-less double beta decay are in the regions as $32~\text{meV}\lesssim |m_{ee}|\lesssim 49~\text{meV}$ and $34~\text{meV}\lesssim |m_{ee}|\lesssim 59~\text{meV}$, respectively. These values are close to the expected reaches of the coming experiments. The total sum of the neutrino masses are predicted in both models as $0.0952~\text{eV}\lesssim \sum m_i\lesssim 0.101~\text{eV}$ and $0.150~\text{eV}\lesssim \sum m_i\lesssim 0.160~\text{eV}$, respectively.

description: We propose a theory of longitudinal resistivity in the normal phase of quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductors near the quantum critical point where antiferromagnetism borders with superconductivity under pressure. The linearized semi-classical Boltzmann equation is solved numerically, fed in by the half-filling electronic umklapp scattering vertex as derived from one-loop renormalization group calculations for the quasi-one-dimensional electron gas model. The momentum and temperature dependence of umklapp scattering has an important impact on the behaviour of longitudinal resistivity in the the normal phase. Resistivity is found to be linear in temperature around the quantum critical point at which spin-density-wave order joins superconductivity along the antinesting axis, to gradually evolve towards the Fermi liquid behaviour in the limit of weak superconductivity. A comparison is made between theory and experiments performed on the (TMTSF)$_2$PF$_6$ member of the Bechgaard salt series under pressure.

description: We study the Kato problem for degenerate divergence form operators. This was begun by Cruz-Uribe and Rios who proved that given an operator $L_w=-w^{-1}{\rm div}(A\nabla)$, where $w\in A_2$ and $A$ is a $w$-degenerate elliptic measure (i.e, $A=w\,B$ with $B$ an $n\times n$ bounded, complex-valued, uniformly elliptic matrix), then $L_w$ satisfies the weighted estimate $\|\sqrt{L_w}f\|_{L^2(w)}\approx\|\nabla f\|_{L^2(w)}$. Here we solve the $L^2$-Kato problem: under some additional conditions on the weight $w$, the following unweighted $L^2$-Kato estimates hold $$ \|L_w^{1/2}f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)}\approx\|\nabla f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)}. $$ This extends the celebrated solution to the Kato conjecture by Auscher, Hofmann, Lacey, McIntosh, and Tchamitchian, allowing the differential operator to have some degeneracy in its ellipticity. For example, we consider the family of operators $L_γ=-|x|^γ{\rm div}(|x|^{-γ}B(x)\nabla)$, where $B$ is any bounded, complex-valued, uniformly elliptic matrix. We prove that there exists $ε>0$, depending only on dimension and the ellipticity constants, such that $$ \|L_γ^{1/2}f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)}\approx\|\nabla f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)}, \qquad -ε

description: Este proyecto tiene como objeto mostrar la reflexión filosófica como una tarea esencialmente humana. A través de los postulados del filósofo mexicano(Leopoldo Zea) se ha evidenciado la intención de hacer del ejercicio filosófico latinoamericano un tema exclusivamente de los seres humanos, lo que presenta similitud con las reflexiones existencialistas introducidas por el pensador francés JeanPaul Sartre, quien posiciona a los hombres y las mujeres como el centro de toda reflexión y posibilidad, como los únicos encargados de pensar y construir su realidad. En ese sentido, ambas posturas -introducidas en continentes diametralmente opuestos- poseen un punto de convergencia que en este documento es denominado existencialismo humanista latinoamericano.

description: Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) Surveillance of Subcutaneous Hemorrhage (ASSH) has been previously demonstrated to differentiate bleeding phenotype and responses to therapy in dogs and humans, but to date, the method has lacked experimental validation. This work explores experimental validation of ASSH in a poroelastic tissue-mimic and in vivo in dogs. The experimental design exploits calibrated flow rates and infusion durations of evaporated milk in tofu or heparinized autologous blood in dogs. The validation approach enables controlled comparisons of ASSH-derived bleeding rate (BR) and time to hemostasis (TTH) metrics. In tissue-mimicking experiments, halving the calibrated flow rate yielded ASSH-derived BRs that decreased by 44% to 48%. Furthermore, for calibrated flow durations of 5.0 minutes and 7.0 minutes, average ASSH-derived TTH was 5.2 minutes and 7.0 minutes, respectively, with ASSH predicting the correct TTH in 78% of trials. In dogs undergoing calibrated autologous blood infusion, ASSH measured a 3-minute increase in TTH, corresponding to the same increase in the calibrated flow duration. For a measured 5% decrease in autologous infusion flow rate, ASSH detected a 7% decrease in BR. These tissue-mimicking and in vivo preclinical experimental validation studies suggest the ASSH BR and TTH measures reflect bleeding dynamics.

description: We develop tangent space methods for projected entangled-pair states (PEPS) that provide direct access to the low-energy sector of strongly-correlated two-dimensional quantum systems. More specifically, we construct a variational ansatz for elementary excitations on top of PEPS ground states that allows for computing gaps, dispersion relations, and spectral weights directly in the thermodynamic limit. Solving the corresponding variational problem requires the evaluation of momentum transformed two-point and three-point correlation functions on a PEPS background, which we can compute efficiently by using a contraction scheme. As an application we study the spectral properties of the magnons of the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki model on the square lattice and the anyonic excitations in a perturbed version of Kitaev's toric code.
