The expansion of soybean cultivation into the Amazon in Brazil has potential hydrological effects at local to regional scales. To determine the impacts of soybean agriculture on hydrology, a comparison of net precipitation (throughfall, stemflow) in undisturbed tropical forest and soybean fields on the southern edge of the Amazon Basin in the state of Mato Grosso is needed. This study measured throughfall with troughs and stemflow with collar collectors during two rainy seasons. The results showed that in forest 91.6% of rainfall was collected as throughfall and 0.3% as stemflow, while in soybean fields with two-month old plants, 46.2% of rainfall was collected as throughfall and 9.0% as stemflow. Hence, interception of precipitation in soybean fields was far greater than in intact forests. Differences in throughfall, stemflow and net precipitation were found to be mainly associated with differences in plant structure and stem density in transitional forest and soybean cropland. Because rainfall interception in soybean fields is higher than previously believed and because both the area of cropland and the frequency of crop cycles (double cropping) are increasing rapidly, interception needs to be reconsidered in regional water balance models when consequences of land cover changes are analyzed in the Amazon soybean frontier region. Based on the continued expansion of soybean fields across the landscape and the finding that net precipitation is lower in soy agriculture, a reduction in water availability in the long term can be assumed.

[EN] It was investigated whether skeletal muscle K(+) release is linked to the degree of anaerobic energy production. Six subjects performed an incremental bicycle exercise test in normoxic and hypoxic conditions prior to and after 2 and 8 wk of acclimatization to 4,100 m. The highest workload completed by all subjects in all trials was 260 W. With acute hypoxic exposure prior to acclimatization, venous plasma [K(+)] was lower (P < 0.05) in normoxia (4.9 +/- 0.1 mM) than hypoxia (5.2 +/- 0.2 mM) at 260 W, but similar at exhaustion, which occurred at 400 +/- 9 W and 307 +/- 7 W (P < 0.05), respectively. At the same absolute exercise intensity, leg net K(+) release was unaffected by hypoxic exposure independent of acclimatization. After 8 wk of acclimatization, no difference existed in venous plasma [K(+)] between the normoxic and hypoxic trial, either at submaximal intensities or at exhaustion (360 +/- 14 W vs. 313 +/- 8 W; P < 0.05). At the same absolute exercise intensity, leg net K(+) release was less (P < 0.001) than prior to acclimatization and reached negative values in both hypoxic and normoxic conditions after acclimatization. Moreover, the reduction in plasma volume during exercise relative to rest was less (P < 0.01) in normoxic than hypoxic conditions, irrespective of the degree of acclimatization (at 260 W prior to acclimatization: -4.9 +/- 0.8% in normoxia and -10.0 +/- 0.4% in hypoxia). It is concluded that leg net K(+) release is unrelated to anaerobic energy production and that acclimatization reduces leg net K(+) release during exercise.

[EN] We used 5-yr concomitant data of tracer distribution from the BATS (Bermuda Time-series Study) and ESTOC (European Station for Time-Series in the Ocean, Canary Islands) sites to build a 1-D tracer model conservation including horizontal advection, and then compute net production and shallow remineralization rates for both sites. Our main goal was to verify if differences in these rates are consistent with the lower export rates of particulate organic carbon observed at ESTOC. Net production rates computed below the mixed layer to 110m from April to December for oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon and nitrate at BATS (1.34±0.79 molO2 m?2, ?1.73±0.52 molCm?2 and ?125±36 mmolNm?2) were slightly higher for oxygen and carbon compared to ESTOC (1.03±0.62 molO2 m?2, ?1.42±0.30 molCm?2 and ?213±56 mmolNm?2), although the differences were not statistically significant. Shallow remineralization rates between 110 and 250m computed at ESTOC (?3.9±1.0 molO2 m?2, 1.53±0.43 molCm?2 and 38±155 mmolNm?2) were statistically higher for oxygen compared to BATS (?1.81±0.37 molO2 m?2, 1.52± 0.30 molCm?2 and 147±43 mmolNm?2). The lateral advective flux divergence of tracers, which was more significant at ESTOC, was responsible for the differences in estimated oxygen remineralization rates between both stations. According to these results, the differences in net production and shallow remineralization cannot fully explain the differences in the flux of sinking organic matter observed between both stations, suggesting an additional consumption of nonsinking organic matter at ESTOC.

La tesi si propone, dopo una panoramica generale sullo stato dell'arte in termini di software e concorrenza, l'obiettivo di studiare il modello ad attori ed analizzarne alcune significative implementazioni. Scelta quindi una specifica implementazione come caso di studio, in particolare il linguaggio AXUM in ambiente .NET, si entrerà nel dettaglio di tale linguaggio, analizzandone tutti gli aspetti e valutandone le potenzialità. Infine, sarà affrontata una breve ma significativa analisi critica sul linguaggio scelto.

Con il presente lavoro si intende descrivere il progetto di localizzazione in tedesco del sito web http://officinadesign.net/ dell’azienda Officina Design, una piccola impresa con sede a Gambettola in provincia di Forlì-Cesena che si occupa di design per l’arredamento di interni. L’azienda si distingue per l’interesse per la lavorazione e il recupero dei materiali nella creazione dei propri prodotti realizzati a mano collocandosi all’interno di una lunga tradizione locale in questi settori. Il primo capitolo introduce il tema della localizzazione illustrandone le caratteristiche principali mettendo in luce gli aspetti tecnologici e culturali che ne fanno parte; di seguito verranno illustrate le fasi di un progetto di localizzazione e le figure professionali coinvolte in generale e nel caso specifico; infine, verranno fornite alcune informazioni su alcuni degli strumenti tecnici utilizzati. Nel secondo capitolo si affronterà un’analisi approfondita del testo di partenza e verranno presentate le tematiche relative alla teoria della traduzione rilevanti per il presente progetto. Il terzo capitolo tratterà in modo dettagliato le varie fasi del progetto; seguirà la presentazione del testo tradotto e infine il commento, in cui verranno esposti i problemi traduttivi, le difficoltà incontrate, i metodi e i procedimenti adottati.

El objetivo de este proyecto de fin de carrera es el de proponer la traducción del italiano hacia el español de algunas páginas del sitio http://www.eataly.net/it_it/. Este trabajo se ha dividido en cinco partes: la primera presenta las características de la página web y explica por qué elegí traducir estas páginas, la segunda propone un análisis del texto en italiano, la tercera explica los instrumentos que he utilizado, es decir Catscradle y los textos paralelos, muy útiles para verificar en español las soluciones posibles. En la cuarta parte se encuentra la traducción y finalmente en la quinta mi comentario sobre la traducción, en el que se explican las dificultades traductoras que he encontrado y las estrategias que he elegido para solucionar el problema. En este último capítulo es posible comprender el papel fundamental de las barreras culturales, que constituyen un importante elemento en este tipo de texto, rico en términos culinarios italianos que un lector español no conoce. En conclusión, este proyecto ha sido muy estimulante para mí porque he tenido la oportunidad de conjugar mi pasión por la comida italiana, en particular la de Eataly, con mi pasión por la traducción. También ha sido importante porque me ha permitido utilizar algunas estrategias y conocimientos teóricos que he aprendido en los tres años de universidad y me ha permitido mejorar mi español.

.NET Compiler Platform è un compilatore per i linguaggi C# e Visual Basic realizzato da Microsoft. L’innovazione apportata da tale strumento è l’introduzione di API che permettono di accedere al compilatore; in particolare, è possibile accedere alle strutture dati utilizzate al suo interno, quali simboli o AST, e controllare e/o modificare il processo di compilazione. Una parte di questo progetto, chiamato anche progetto Roslyn, è focalizzata sull’introduzione dello scripting per il linguaggio C#. In questa trattazione si è interessati a sperimentare le possibilità offerte da tale strumento nel campo dell’esecuzione dinamica di frammenti di codice. Gli obiettivi imposti si collocano nell’ambito della re-ingegnerizzazione e dello sviluppo di software. Tali obiettivi sono la re-implementazione dei filtri di selezione contenuti nel framework Phoenix, utilizzando le API di Roslyn per migliorarne le prestazioni, e la progettazione di un componente che realizzi una console per lo scripting C# dotata della possibilità di riferire dinamicamente librerie. Le API di compilazione si rivelano essere non propriamente adatte all’esecuzione immediata di frammenti di codice, nonostante ciò, è possibile, appoggiandosi alla reflection, utilizzarle per giungere a questo risultato. Lo scripting, invece, si rivela uno strumento dalle grandi potenzialità nel suddetto ambito.

The identification of associations between interleukin-28B (IL-28B) variants and the spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) raises the issues of causality and the net contribution of host genetics to the trait. To estimate more precisely the net effect of IL-28B genetic variation on HCV clearance, we optimized genotyping and compared the host contributions in multiple- and single-source cohorts to control for viral and demographic effects. The analysis included individuals with chronic or spontaneously cleared HCV infections from a multiple-source cohort (n = 389) and a single-source cohort (n = 71). We performed detailed genotyping in the coding region of IL-28B and searched for copy number variations to identify the genetic variant or haplotype carrying the strongest association with viral clearance. This analysis was used to compare the effects of IL-28B variation in the two cohorts. Haplotypes characterized by carriage of the major alleles at IL-28B single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were highly overrepresented in individuals with spontaneous clearance versus those with chronic HCV infections (66.1% versus 38.6%, P = 6 × 10(-9) ). The odds ratios for clearance were 2.1 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.6-3.0] and 3.9 (95% CI = 1.5-10.2) in the multiple- and single-source cohorts, respectively. Protective haplotypes were in perfect linkage (r(2) = 1.0) with a nonsynonymous coding variant (rs8103142). Copy number variants were not detected. CONCLUSION: We identified IL-28B haplotypes highly predictive of spontaneous HCV clearance. The high linkage disequilibrium between IL-28B SNPs indicates that association studies need to be complemented by functional experiments to identify single causal variants. The point estimate for the genetic effect was higher in the single-source cohort, which was used to effectively control for viral diversity, sex, and coinfections and, therefore, offered a precise estimate of the net host genetic contribution.
