La construcción estética de la realidad: Vagabundos y pícaros en la Edad Moderna (2003)

According to the author, many historians tend to separate the social reality from its particular aesthetic representation; moreover, these historians tend to think that the different aesthetic representations appear as the consequence of the reality itself. However, the author thinks that it is not always possible to separate the existing social reality from its aesthetic representations found in literature or painting. This article analyzes the picaresque literature that was published in France in the 17th century with the purpose of proving how the aesthetic representation took an active part in the creation and building of the social reality of that time. Taking into account the social rejection that some increasing social groups (wanderers, beggars, thieves) suffered in France and in the rest of Europe in the 17th century, the author shows us how the aesthetic representations of these groups in novels such as El Buscon, written by Francisco de Quevedo, changed the existing reality and built a new one. The picaresque literature provided the readers with a careful description and classification of those people, as well as a description of their own slang. The rogues and wanderers that these novels showed were hierarchical and highly organized, as if they were members of a particular monarchy of wanderers. In spite of the fact that all the information found in the picaresque novels was basically fiction (most of the things were invented by the authors), the readers began to take to the wanderers and the beggars because they believed that these people were organized and behaved like them: as if they were part of a monarchy. In this sense, the author shows us that the aesthetic representations shown in the picaresque novels were able to change the social reality of a group of people that was rejected from society and helped in the building of a new one.

Micro-focused Brillouin light scattering: imaging spin waves at the nanoscale (2015)

Spin waves constitute an important part of research in the field of magnetization dynamics. Spin waves are the elementary excitations of the spin system in a magnetically ordered material state and magnons are their quasi particles. In the following article, we will discuss the optical method of Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy which is a now a well established tool for the characterization of spin waves. BLS is the inelastic scattering of light from spin waves and confers several benefits: the ability to map the spin wave intensity distribution with spatial resolution and high sensitivity as well as the potential to simultaneously measure the frequency and the wave vector and, therefore, the dispersion properties. For several decades, the field of spin waves gained huge interest by the scientific community due to its relevance regarding fundamental issues of spindynamics in the field of solid states physics. The ongoing research in recent years has put emphasis on the high potential of spin waves regarding information technology. In the emerging field of \textit{magnonics}, several concepts for a spin-wave based logic have been proposed and realized. Opposed to charge-based schemes in conventional electronics and spintronics, magnons are charge-free currents of angular momentum, and, therefore, less subject to scattering processes that lead to heating and dissipation. This fact is highlighted by the possibility to utilize spin waves as information carriers in electrically insulating materials. These developments have propelled the quest for ways and mechanisms to guide and manipulate spin-wave transport. In particular, a lot of effort is put into the miniaturization of spin-wave waveguides and the excitation of spin waves in structures with sub-micrometer dimensions. For the further development of potential spin-wave-based devices, the ability to directly observe spin-wave propagation with spatial resolution is crucial. As an optical technique BLS do
One-Time Code Cardholder Verification Method in Electronic Funds Transfer Transactions (2014)

Card payments are getting more and more popular across the world. The dominantstandard used for Electronic Funds Transfer transaction is EMV. It is widely used across Europeand Canada, and currently it is being introduced in the USA. The most frequently used CardholderVerification Method in EMV transaction is PIN, which requires from the payment terminal to beequipped with pinpad - which increases the cost of the whole payment device. In this article I presentan alternative Cardholder Verification Method (CVM) that can be used instead of traditional PIN.The key advantage of the presented mechanism is that it can be easily implemented in currentlyutilized authorization protocols, it does not affect rules of EMV specification and may decrease timeof transaction processing.
Analysis of Binding Elements in the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Genomic RNA and Nucleocapsid Protein (1994)

We previously used RNA gel mobility shift assays to demonstrate specific binding of the HIV-1 gag precursor polyprotein and nucleocapsid (NC) protein to HIV-1 RNA and to map the binding elements in each species by mutagenesis. Here we report finer mapping of binding elements in the HIV-1 genomic RNA and NC protein, performed by analyzing the binding behavior of fragments of each species in the gel shift assay. With regard to the RNA, the strongest binding activity resided in a 120-nucleotide segment flanking the gag start codon, containing three potential stem-loop structures. Binding analysis of various combinations of these three potential stem-loop structures and their flanking sequences revealed that no one element could bind to the gag polyprotein or NC protein as well as the entire 120-nucleotide segment. Mutational analysis of the NC protein showed that two nonoverlapping regions exhibited specific binding for HIV-1 RNA. Each region includes a Cys-His box, though each box could not bind to HIV-1 RNA on its own. In contrast, a construct lacking both boxes exhibited primarily nonspecific RNA-binding activity.
High Brightness InGaN/GaN Blue Light Emitting Diode Realized by a 6×2'' MOCVD System (2005)

We have fabricated high brightness blue light emitting diode (LED) with InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well (MQW) which is sandwiched simply between n-GaN and p-GaN. The LED epitaxial structure was grown by a newly designed metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system with RF heater and vertical gas injection type showerhead. The reactor exhibited a good uniformity of temperature and gas velocity. The uniformity of layer thickness and PL wavelength was less 2% and 1.2 nm, respectively. The epoxy molded LED lamp showed radiant power of 4 mW at a forward current of 20 mA. We note that the power is very high considering such a simple LED structure.

Dominant Negative Forms of Akt (Protein Kinase B) and Atypical Protein Kinase Cλ Do Not Prevent Insulin Inhibition of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Gene Transcription (1999)

Transcriptional regulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), the rate-limiting enzyme in hepatic gluconeogenesis, by insulin was investigated with the use of adenovirus vectors encoding various mutant signaling proteins. Insulin inhibited transcription induced by dexamethasone and cAMP of a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene fused with the PEPCK promoter sequence in HL1C cells stably transfected with this construct. A dominant negative mutant of phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase blocked insulin inhibition of transcription of the PEPCK-CAT fusion gene, whereas a constitutively active mutant of PI 3-kinase mimicked the effect of insulin. Although a constitutively active mutant of Akt (protein kinase B) inhibited PEPCK-CAT gene transcription induced by dexamethasone and cAMP, a mutant Akt (Akt-AA) in which the phosphorylation sites targeted by insulin are replaced by alanine did not affect the ability of insulin to inhibit transcription of the fusion gene. Akt-AA almost completely inhibited insulin-induced activation of both endogenous and recombinant Akt in HL1C cells. Furthermore, neither a kinase-defective mutant protein kinase Clambda (PKClambda), which blocked insulin-induced activation of endogenous PKClambda, nor a dominant negative mutant of the small GTPase Rac prevented inhibition of PEPCK-CAT gene transcription by insulin. These data suggest that phosphoinositide 3-kinase is important for insulin-induced inhibition of PEPCK gene transcription and that a downstream effector of phosphoinositide 3-kinase distinct from Akt, PKClambda, and Rac may exist for mediating the effect of insulin.
The Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 Protein Complex Facilitates Homologous Recombination-Based Double-Strand Break Repair in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> (1999)

Saccharomyces cerevisiae mre11Delta mutants are profoundly deficient in double-strand break (DSB) repair, indicating that the Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 protein complex plays a central role in the cellular response to DNA DSBs. In this study, we examined the role of the complex in homologous recombination, the primary mode of DSB repair in yeast. We measured survival in synchronous cultures following irradiation and scored sister chromatid and interhomologue recombination genetically. mre11Delta strains were profoundly sensitive to ionizing radiation (IR) throughout the cell cycle. Mutant strains exhibited decreased frequencies of IR-induced sister chromatid and interhomologue recombination, indicating a general deficiency in homologous recombination-based DSB repair. Since a nuclease-deficient mre11 mutant was not impaired in these assays, it appears that the role of the S. cerevisiae Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 protein complex in facilitating homologous recombination is independent of its nuclease activities.
Biaxial strain distributions in explanted porcine bioprosthetic valves. (2002)

The extensibilities of the three explanted valves were lower than those seen in fresh valves, due to either glutaraldehyde fixation and/or extension of the fibrosal corrugations. Furthermore, the uniqueness of the mechanical properties of the NC cusp previously seen in fresh porcine valves remained through glutaraldehyde fixation and stenting. It is concluded that cusp anisotropy and heterogeneity, as well as the occurrence of negative strains seen in fresh porcine valves, are preserved during the fabrication of porcine bioprostheses.
FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DE PROFESSORES PARA ATUAREM NO CONTEXTO DAS DIFERENÇAS (2016)

Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa consagrada a questão da formação inicial dos professores para a atuação em contexto da educação inclusiva. O estudo tem um carater internacional, se apoaindo sobre resultados de numerosas pesquisas cujo foco era a investigação de estratégias de formação de professores para atuarem no contexto da educação inclusiva. No procedimento metodologico foi estabelecido o criterio de escolha de estudos que abordassem a questão da formação inicial de professores em contexto de inclusão e ainda que dessem inciativos de estrategias de formação ou de programas de formação. Os resultados revelam que esta formação toma diferentes formas e pode variar consideravelmente de um meio de formação para outro. Essas diferenças se localizam em termos de conteúdo, abrangência ou ainda quanto a modalidade de gestão dessa formação. A análise da literatura indica que de modo geral a formação de professores parece exercer, pelo menos a curto prazo, uma influência positiva sobre as atitudes dos mesmos relativas ao acolhimento e ao acompanhamento dos alunos com deficiência na classe comum. Entretanto, esta mesma literatura fornece poucos indicadores quanto as modalidades mais eficientes de formação de professores na perspectiva de escola inclusiva. A partir dessa evidencia, se torna cada vez mais importante que sejam estabelecidos claramente os princípios fundamentais de uma formação de professores que traduza o verdadeiro espírito de uma educação voltada para as diferenças de todos os educandos. A última parte desse artigo propõe algumas orientações nesse sentido.

Requirement of Adenosine 3′, 5′-Cyclic Phosphate for Flagella Formation in <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Salmonella typhimurium</i> (1970)

Adenosine-3',5'-cyclic phosphate (cyclic AMP) is absolutely required for flagella formation and, hence, motility in cyclic AMP-deficient mutants of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.
Development and Refinement of Turbine Intake Screen Technology on the Columbia River (1993)

None. First paragraph: Numerous dams and locks constructed within the Columbia River basin over the past 60 years provide substantial flood control, power generation, navigation, irrigation, and recreation benefits to the United States Pacific Northwest region. However, these multiple purpose projects also form partial or complete barriers to migrations of highly valued anadromous salmonid species. Most mainstem projects provide passage facilities for both juvenile and adult migrants as a means to reduce adverse impacts. Mechanical bypass screens, located at turbine intakes, have been utilized extensively to improve passage survival for juvenile downstream migrants. This paper describes the development and continuing refinement of screen technology at the eight mainstem projects constructed and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the Columbia and lower Snake Rivers.
Bacterial Symbiont Transmission in the Wood-Boring Shipworm <i>Bankia setacea</i> (Bivalvia: Teredinidae) (2000)

The Teredinidae (shipworms) are a morphologically diverse group of marine wood-boring bivalves that are responsible each year for millions of dollars of damage to wooden structures in estuarine and marine habitats worldwide. They exist in a symbiosis with cellulolytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria that provide the host with the necessary enzymes for survival on a diet of wood cellulose. These symbiotic bacteria reside in distinct structures lining the interlamellar junctions of the gill. This study investigated the mode by which these nutritionally essential bacterial symbionts are acquired in the teredinid Bankia setacea. Through 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequencing, the symbiont residing within the B. setacea gill was phylogenetically characterized and shown to be distinct from previously described shipworm symbionts. In situ hybridization using symbiont-specific 16S rRNA-directed probes bound to bacterial ribosome targets located within the host gill coincident with the known location of the gill symbionts. These specific probes were then used as primers in a PCR-based assay which consistently detected bacterial rDNA in host gill (symbiont containing), gonad tissue, and recently spawned eggs, demonstrating the presence of symbiont cells in host ovary and offspring. These results suggest that B. setacea ensures successful inoculation of offspring through a vertical mode of symbiont transmission and thereby enables a broad distribution of larval settlement.
A ‘war on lead’ may be on the horizon (2018)

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will have lead in drinking water on its radar in 2018, according to Administrator Scott Pruitt. At a hearing for the Environment Subcommittee of the House Energy & Commerce Committee on Dec. 7, 2017, Pruitt described lead in drinking water as “one of the greatest environmental threats we face as a country.” He went on to suggest that the agency is working on an ambitious 10-year strategy to “declare a war on lead.” One aspect of the strategy Pruitt hinted at was an update to the Lead & Copper Rule, an EPA regulation that sets limits on the concentrations of lead and copper in drinking water. In December, EPA sent letters to state environmental protection agencies to request feedback on ways to revise the rule. Pruitt also discussed the possibility of replacing lead service lines that carry drinking water. These service lines were the source

When free is not enough: what the International Librarians Network managed to achieve with zero budget, and what we did when we hit the limits. (2016)

The International Librarians Network (ILN) began as a way to help librarians develop an international professional network without having to travel overseas. Focusing on openness and relying entirely on freely available technology and volunteer time, the program was designed to reinforce the idea that ideas can cross borders and make us better at what we do. The ILN launched in 2013, free and open to anyone in the profession, and has facilitated connections for over 1500 people in 103 countries. Unfunded and completely independent, the ILN was established using a suite of freely available technology to create and maintain an online profile. This included Gmail, Google Drive, Google Forms, Dropbox, Wordpress, Twitter, Facebook and AnyMeeting. In the development stage of the program these tools were sufficient, and their ease of use allowed the ILN founders to focus on the content and rapid development of the program, rather than requiring advanced technical skills. Combined with a network of volunteers, the ILN was able to have a positive impact on librarians around the world. By early 2014, with the rapid growth of the program, the no-cost model that had served the ILN well started to hinder the growth of the program. As additional time was being spent to find and implement work-arounds to technical limitations, the ILN realised that free was no longer enough. The program needed to move beyond the limitation of free web-based tools and an informal business structure, but there was still no budget to do so. Early efforts to identify pathways forward were hampered by financial restrictions, a lack of transparency by service providers, and a confusing abundance of small scale commercial providers of services. This paper will outline how the ILN used freely available technology to establish and grow, and what was achieved from this base. The paper will then explore the steps the ILN took to identify planning and development strategies for small organisations and projects that need to ‘do more with less’. It will pragmatically explore the limitations of ‘free’ and what to do when free is not enough, and show the role that small-scale strategic planning can play in helping small organisations or projects manage growth in a scalable and sustainable way.
<title>Information fusion via fuzzy logic in automatic target recognition</title> (1992)

Complex computer vision systems, such as those used for automatic target recognition, have a need to aggregate evidence from a variety of sources when making decisions. We present two complementary methodologies, based on the theory of fuzzy sets, to fuse partial support for a decision or hypothesis from a variety of sources into a final degree of confidence. The sources may include different sensors, pattern recognition algorithms, expert systems, features; evidence over time, intelligence data, etc. Both methodologies--the fuzzy integral and fuzzy aggregation networks--are powerful and flexible means of combining partial degrees of support into a final decision. The choice of technique is governed by the demands of the problem, availability and type of training data, and a priori knowledge of the situation. The fuzzy integral is a nonlinear functional which combines (possibly subjective) knowledge concerning the worth of subsets of sources, in the form of a fuzzy measure, with objective evidence supplied by the sources. Under certain conditions, the fuzzy measure are actually Dempster Shafer belief or plausibility measures. Means to automatically determine the measures from histograms of training data have been developed. Fuzzy aggregation networks are best utilized for hierarchical decision making where input/output training sets (much like those for neural networks) are available. Each node in the network is modeled as a general fuzzy set theoretic connective: union operator, intersection operator, generalized mean, or hybrid operator. The type of node, its parameters, and connection weights are learned during training. Both approaches have been applied to multisensor automatic target recognition problems with excellent results. They have also been successfully employed in image segmentation and general multicriteria decision making. Theoretical and practical issues, along with results, will be discussed.
