Las comunidades de Salix pyrenaica en el valle de Aran.

Se aportan datos referentes a dos comunidades de la alianza Primulion intricatae en que participa el subarbusto Salix pyrenaica: Dryado-Salicetum pyrenaicae Chouard ex Vanden Berghen 1970 y Carici-Geetum pyrenaici Chouard ex Vanden Berghen 1970. Ambas se conocían de áreas más atlánticas de la cordillera pirenaica, y principalmente dentro de territorio francés, si bien se disponía de muy pocos inventarios fitosociológicos concretos. En el valle de Aran, aparecen localmente en los afloramientos calizos, y contienen diversos táxones poco comunes o raros en los Pirineos, como por ejemplo Arctostaphylos alpina. Además, ambas comunidades muestran un carácter relativamente particular en comparación con las afines descritas previamente. Por ello, se propone considerarlas como sendas nuevas subasociaciones: Dryado- Salicetum pyrenaicae salicetosum reticulatae, subass. nov., y Carici-Geetum pyrenaici anthyllidetosum boscii, subass. nov.

Plantas vasculares del piso alpino de los Pirineos Catalanes raras o amenazadas

Como contribución al conocimiento de la flora supraforestal pirenaica y a la política de protección medioambiental, presentamos una relación de los táxones cormofíticos raros o amenazados, existentes en el piso alpino de los Pirineos dentro de los territorios que dependen administrativamente de la Generalitat de Cataluña, Andorra y el departamento de los Pyrénées- Orientales. Dichos táxones se agrupan en seis subapartados, según su área de distribución y su grado de rareza en el territorio considerado. Las plantas especialmente raras o vulnerables se señalan mediante un asterisco situado a continuación del nombre científico. Para la mayoría de los táxones aportamos datos más concretos referentes a distribución y frecuencia.

Preliminary report of the first season work of the International Pluridisciplinary Archaeological Expedition to Bactria 2007

A prior long-term and complex evaluation of the already available data on the geophysical prospecting during the first season work carried out at 2006, at the archaeological site of Tchinguiz Tepe of Termez, took place to decide the strategy to follow during the campaign of 2007. This previous evaluation of the information, on one hand, leaded to the decision to increase the geophysical prospecting at Tchinguiz Tepe, on the other hand, to decide the exact location of areas where the archaeological interventions.would carry out. The main objective at the beginning of this new season was to crosscheck the reliabilityof the measurements and, at the same time, to establish the unknown up to the present archaeologicaland chronological sequence of Tchinguiz Tepe. Meanwhile, the geophysical prospecting also wasextended to the outskirts of the city were the localisation of an unknown up to now Buddhist Monasterywas possible.

Preliminary report of the first season work of the International Pluridisciplinary Archaeological Expedition to Bactria 2006

The International Pluridisciplinary Archaeological Expedition in Bactria (IPAEB) was created in 2006.The name underlines the international character of the team (which includes Uzbeks, Spanish, French, British and Greek members), the presence of specialists from various fields apart from archaeology and the fame of Bactria1.

Preliminary report of the first season work of the International Pluridisciplinary Archaeological Expedition to Bactria 2008

This year the development of our project can be divided into two main clearly different parts, on one hand the laboratory work, where the sampled ceramic individuals has been prepared and analyzed and the elaboration of the data obtained during the excavation of 2007 has been finished and, on the other hand, the field work developed at the archaeological site during this specific year (2008).In the mark of the analytical work a significant number of ceramic individuals (144) from the different stratigraphical units from various areas of the excavation of Termez and Tchinguiz Tepe sampled duringthe new and previous field works has been archaeometrically characterized. This specific material includedindividuals dated into the Hellenistic and Sassanian period, which has been confirmed by C14dating upon organic samples.At the same time, in the mark of the field work of 2008 the archaeological record, already started tobe under study during the excavation of 2007, has been completed and two new archaeological recordshave been registered on of which is located in the area of Tchinguiz Tepe. For the archeological studythe information of the previous geophysical prospecting has been indisputably taken into considerationand the same methodology has been applied to crosscheck the latter archaeological results.

Coastal salina evaporites of the Triassic-Liassic boundary in the Iberian Peninsula: the Alacón borehole

The evaporite unit (the Lécera Formation), which was formed at the Triassic¿Liassic boundary in the Aragonian Branch of the Iberian Chain, was studied at the 01 Alacón borehole (Alacón village, Teruel province), where it is mainly constituted by a thick (>e and reflect deeper water settings, whereas in the upper part they correspond to shallower water settings. The evaporite sedimentation mainly occurred in a subsiding coastal basin of the salina or lagoon type. In this setting, the subaqueous precipitation of the carbonate and gypsum lithofacies was followed, in each cycle, by the interstitial growth of anhydrite in exposed conditions. As a whole, the evaporite succession reflects an infilling process. The conversion into anhydrite of the selenitic gypsum -probably also of the rest of depositional gypsum lithofaciesstarted under synsedimentary conditions and followed during shallow to moderate burial diagenesis.

Cronología de osificación del pie. Radiogoniometría.

El motivo por el cual elegimos para el trabajo el tema titulado " Cronología de osificación del pie. Radiogoniometría" fue debido al interés que despertó en nosotras, la disparidad de datos ofrecidos por diferentes autores respecto a la cronología de aparición en la radiografía, de los núcleos primarios, secundarios terciarios de osificación. Respecto a la radiogoniometría, también creímos que era necesario una revisión para comprobar si han aparecido cambios sobre el rango de normalidad de algunos ángulos, cuyas valoraciones son importantes en las edades de crecimiento.

MMPBSA decomposition of the binding energy throughout a molecular dynamics simulation of Amyloid-Beta (Aß10-35) aggregation

Recent experiments with amyloid-beta (Aß) peptides indicate that the formation of toxic oligomers may be an important contribution to the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The toxicity of Aß oligomers depend on their structure, which is governed by assembly dynamics. However, a detailed knowledge of the structure of at the atomic level has not been achieved yet due to limitations of current experimental techniques. In this study, replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations are used to identify the expected diversity of dimer conformations of Aß10-35 monomers. The most representative dimer conformation has been used to track the dimer formation process between both monomers. The process has been characterized by means of the evolution of the decomposition of the binding free energy, which provides an energetic profile of the interaction. Dimers undergo a process of reorganization driven basically by inter-chain hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions and also solvation/desolvation processes.

Estudio exprimental del bilinguismo: revisión histórica I

En el presente trabajo se lleva a cabo una revisión histórica de los estudios realizados sobre el bilingiiismo, concretándose, fundamentalmente, en las dos grandes hipótesis teóricas en torno al mismo. Se analizan, a continuación, las investigaciones que apoyan tanto a la hipótesis de "sistemas lingiiisticos separados" como a la hipótesis de un "único sistema". Por último se hace una presentación de los trabajos que han sido más relevantes en la investigación actual. De esta forma se presentan los estudios de carácter psicofisiológico, la relación entre bilingiiismo y psicologia cognitiva, la medición del bilingüismo y la teoria del código dual aplicado al bilingüismo. El texto termina planteando una serie de consideraciones de carácter metodológico y la propuesta de un modelo que va a ser objeto de un segundo escrito sobre dicha temática.
