Actividades para la ense??anza de ingl??s a trav??s de contenidos en secundaria : (Curso PALE de Secundaria 2007, C.P.R. de Oviedo)

El Programa PALE (programa de apoyo al aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras), cofinanciado por el Ministerio de Educaci??n y Ciencia y las Comunidades Aut??nomas, pretende dar respuesta, desde el Sistema Educativo, a las necesidades derivadas de la mejora de la ense??anza y el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en una sociedad como la actual, donde las lenguas se consideran conocimientos b??sicos que precisa la ciudadan??a europea para su formaci??n, para mejorar sus posibilidades de empleo, para la promoci??n del intercambio cultural y para la realizaci??n personal. Esta publicaci??n es el fruto del grupo de trabajo constituido en la tercera fase del curso PALE 2007 para Secundaria del C.P.R. de Oviedo, tras la formaci??n recibida en Asturias y en el extranjero. Se presentan una serie actividades para llevar a cabo en el aula a partir de los contenidos en Secundaria en las ??reas de: Arte, Biolog??a, Ciudadan??a, Ciencias Sociales, Matem??ticas, M??sica, Educaci??n F??sica, F??sica y Qu??mica, y Tecnolog??a. Las unidades trabajadas son respectivamente: Observation; Vertebrate animals; Human rights; 3-d shapes; Sound and its properties; Outdoor activities; Work and energy; Electricity; Technical materials. El libro est?? acompa??ado por 1 CD-ROM que muestra los contenidos en versi??n PDF y PowerPoint.

Unusual censor readings: G.D.R. science fiction and the Ministry of Culture

Covers the censorship by the Hauptverwaltung Verlage und Buchhandel in the Ministry of Culture of science fiction works in East Germany. These ranged from propaganda pieces supporting the scientific-technological revolution and the progress of socialism, to veiled criticisms of the system. The chapter argues that publishers became dependent on the high sales generated by popular culture, creating a relatively safe space for this genre.

Studio di una miscela in misto cementato con aggregati riciclati da C&D.

La ricerca, presentata in questa tesi di laurea, si pone quale obiettivo, quello di studiare le possibilità di impiego di materiali provenienti da attività da C&D, in sostituzione degli inerti vergini di cava, nella confezione dei misti cementati per strati di base e fondazioni stradali. Lo studio è stato condotto per conto della CEA (Cooperativa Edile Appennino S.c.a.r.l.) la quale ha fornito il materiale riciclato in due diverse curve granulometriche 0/20 e 0/30. Tutte le prove sono state eseguite presso il Laboratorio di Strade della Facoltà di Ingegneria dell’Università degli Studi di Bologna.

The crystal structure of an N-terminal two-domain fragment of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1): a cyclic peptide based on the domain 1 C-D loop can inhibit VCAM-1-alpha 4 integrin interaction.

Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) represents a structurally and functionally distinct class of immunoglobulin superfamily molecules that bind leukocyte integrins and are involved in inflammatory and immune functions. X-ray crystallography defines the three-dimensional structure of the N-terminal two-domain fragment that participates in ligand binding. Residues in domain 1 important for ligand binding reside in the C-D loop, which projects markedly from one face of the molecule near the contact between domains 1 and 2. A cyclic peptide that mimics this loop inhibits binding of alpha 4 beta 1 integrin-bearing cells to VCAM-1. These data demonstrate how crystallographic structural information can be used to design a small molecule inhibitor of biological function.

Chemical-mineralogical characterization of C&D waste recycled aggregates from Sao Paulo, Brazil

This study presents a methodology for the characterization of construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycled aggregates based on a combination of analytical techniques (X-ray fluorescence (XRF), soluble ions, semi-quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TCA-DTG) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) selective dissolution). These combined analytical techniques allow for the estimation of the amount of cement paste, its most important hydrated and carbonated phases, as well as the amount of clay and micas. Details of the methodology are presented here and the results of three representative C&D samples taken from the Sao Paulo region in Brazil are discussed. Chemical compositions of mixed C&D aggregate samples have mostly been influenced by particle size rather than the visual classification of C&D into red or grey and geographical origin. The amount of measured soluble salts in C&D aggregates (0.15-25.4 mm) is lower than the usual limits for mortar and concrete production. The content of porous cement paste in the C&D aggregates is around 19.3% (w/w). However, this content is significantly lower than the 43% detected for the C&D powders (< 0.15 min). The clay content of the powders was also high, potentially resulting from soil intermixed with the C&D waste, as well as poorly burnt red ceramic. Since only about 50% of the measured CaO is combined with CO(2), the powders have potential use as raw materials for the cement industry. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Transpecific microsatellites for hard pines M. Shepherd, M. Cross, T. Maguire, M. Dieters, C. Williams, R. Henry

Microsatellites are difficult to recover from large plant genomes so cross-specific utilisation is an important source of markers. Fifty micro satellites were tested for cross-specific amplification and polymorphism to two New World hard pine species, slash pine (Pinus elliottii var. elliottii) and Caribbean pine (R caribaea var. hondurensis). Twenty-nine (58%) markers amplified in both hard pine species, and 23 of these 29 were polymorphic. Soft pine (subgenus Strobus) microsatellite markers did amplify, but none were polymorphic. Pinus elliottii var. elliottii and R caribaea var. hondurensis showed mutational changes in the flanking regions and the repeat motif that were informative for Pinus spp. phylogenetic relationships. Most allele length variation could be attributed to variability in repeat unit number. There was no evidence for ascertainment bias.

Contributo da C.P.R.E./E.T.E. na Terapêutica da Pancreatite Aguda Litiásica

Na literatura médica existem actualmente vários trabalhos confirmando o valor da Colangiopancreatografla Retrógada Endoscópica (C.P.R.E.) e da Esflncterotomia Endoscópica (E.T.E.) na terapêutica da Pancreatite Aguda Litiásica (P.A.L.). E uma técnica endoscópica de primeira linha na actuação terapêutica na P.A.L. que ao permitir desobstruir as vias biliares de cálculos elimina o factor etiológico desencadeante da doença. E a experiência do grupo de C.P.R.E./E.T.E. do Hospital dos Capuchos que iremos dar a conhecer no presente trabalho.

Variable viral clearance despite adequate ganciclovir plasma levels during valganciclovir treatment for cytomegalovirus disease in D+/R- transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Valganciclovir, the oral prodrug of ganciclovir, has been demonstrated equivalent to iv ganciclovir for CMV disease treatment in solid organ transplant recipients. Variability in ganciclovir exposure achieved with valganciclovir could be implicated as a contributing factor for explaining variations in the therapeutic response. This prospective observational study aimed to correlate clinical and cytomegalovirus (CMV) viral load response (DNAemia) with ganciclovir plasma concentrations in patients treated with valganciclovir for CMV infection/disease. METHODS: Seven CMV D+/R- transplant recipients (4 kidney, 2 liver and 1 heart) were treated with valganciclovir (initial dose was 900-1800 mg/day for 3-6.5 weeks, followed by 450-900 mg/day for 2-9 weeks). DNAemia was monitored by real time quantitative PCR and ganciclovir plasma concentration was measured at trough (Ctrough) and 3 h after drug administration (C3h) by HPLC. RESULTS: Four patients presented with CMV syndrome, two had CMV tissue-invasive disease after prophylaxis discontinuation, and one liver recipient was treated pre-emptively for asymptomatic rising CMV viral load 5 weeks post-transplantation in the absence of prophylaxis. CMV DNAemia decreased during the first week of treatment in all recipients except in one patient (median decrease: -1.2 log copies/mL, range: -1.8 to 0) despite satisfactory ganciclovir exposure (AUC0-12 = 48 mg.h/L, range for the 7 patients: 40-118 mg.h/L). Viral clearance was obtained in five patients after a median of time of 34 days (range: 28-82 days). Two patients had recurrent CMV disease despite adequate ganciclovir exposure (65 mg.h/L, range: 44-118 mg.h/L). CONCLUSIONS: Valganciclovir treatment for CMV infection/disease in D+/R- transplant recipients can thus result in variable viral clearance despite adequate ganciclovir plasma concentrations, probably correlating inversely with anti-CMV immune responses after primary infection.
