For weeks after primary immunization with thymus-dependent antigens the responding lymph nodes contain effector CD4 T cells in T zones and germinal centers as well as recirculating memory T cells. Conversely, remote nodes, not exposed to antigen, only receive recirculating memory cells. We assessed whether lymph nodes with follicular effector CD4 T cells in addition to recirculating memory CD4 T cells mount a more rapid secondary response than nodes that only contain recirculating memory cells. Also, the extent to which T cell frequency governs accelerated CD4 T cell recall responses was tested. For this, secondary antibody responses to a superantigen, where the frequency of responding T cells is not increased at the time of challenge, were compared with those to conventional protein antigens. With both types of antigens similar accelerated responses were elicited in the node draining the site of primary immunization and in the contralateral node, not previously exposed to antigen. Thus recirculating memory cells are fully capable of mounting accelerated secondary responses, without the assistance of CD4 effector T cells, and accelerated memory responses are not solely dependent on higher T cell frequencies. Accelerated memory CD4 T cell responses were also seen in B cell-deficient mice.

La elección de un programa de gestión de bibliotecas se ve afectada muchas veces por una serie de condiciones sociales, económicas y políticas que hacen que la elección no sea la más adecuada para las necesidades, características y funciones de la biblioteca. El software libre está siendo una de las soluciones más optadas, por sus libertades de copia, modificación y distribución, además de la libertad de licencias y las posibilidades de interoperación con otras aplicaciones. Esta nueva tendencia hacia el software libre en bibliotecas se refleja también en los estudios de biblioteconomía y documentación, en los que desde diferentes asignaturas se aportan conocimientos sobre programas de automatización, de gestión de repositorios, incluso del sistema operativo Linux/GNU, entre otros. Esta combinación entre las necesidades de los centros y la tendencia al uso de software libre, es la que un grupo de profesores de la Facultat de Biblioteconomia i Documentació (Universitat de Barcelona) y estudiantes, miembros del Grup de Treball sobre Programari Lliure per als Professionals de la Informació (Cobdc), han querido aportar a la comunidad profesional, creando un laboratorio virtual para el uso de software libre de aplicación en bibliotecas.

Frequently the choice of a library management program is conditioned by social, economic and/or political factors that result in the selection of a system that is not altogether suitable for the library’s needs, characteristics and functions. Open source software is quickly becoming a preferred solution, owing to the freedom to copy, modify and distribute it and the freedom from contracts, as well as for greater opportunities for interoperability with other applications. These new trends regarding open source software in libraries are also reflected in LIS studies, as evidenced by the different courses addressing automated programs, repositorymanagement, including the Linux/GNU operating system, among others. The combination of the needs of the centres and the new trends for open source software is the focus of a virtual laboratory for the use of open source software for library applications. It was the result of a project, whose aim was to make a useful contribution to the library community, that was carried out by a group of professors of the School of Library and Information Science of the University of Barcelona, together with a group of students, members of a Working Group on Open Source Software for Information Professionals, of the Professional Library Association of Catalonia.

Using head-mounted eye tracker material, we assessed spatial recognition abilities (e.g., reaction to object permutation, removal or replacement with a new object) in participants with intellectual disabilities. The "Intellectual Disabilities (ID)" group (n=40) obtained a score totalling a 93.7% success rate, whereas the "Normal Control" group (n=40) scored 55.6% and took longer to fix their attention on the displaced object. The participants with an intellectual disability thus had a more accurate perception of spatial changes than controls. Interestingly, the ID participants were more reactive to object displacement than to removal of the object. In the specific test of novelty detection, however, the scores were similar, the two groups approaching 100% detection. Analysis of the strategies expressed by the ID group revealed that they engaged in more systematic object checking and were more sensitive than the control group to changes in the structure of the environment. Indeed, during the familiarisation phase, the "ID" group explored the collection of objects more slowly, and fixed their gaze for a longer time upon a significantly lower number of fixation points during visual sweeping.

1. SUMMARY Based on functional and homing properties, two subsets of memory T lymphocytes have been defined both in humans and in mice. Central memory T cells (TCM cells) express the lymph node homing receptors CD62L and CCR7, have poor effector function and proliferate efficiently upon antigenic stimulation. Effector memory T cells (TEM cells) do not express CCR7, are mostly CD62L negative and therefore are excluded from lymph nodes, but are able to migrate to sites of inflammation where they exert immediate effector function by producing inflammatory cytokines and cytotoxic mediators. In the present work we have addressed two questions that emerged since the definition of TCM and TEM cells. Firstly, what are the priming conditions for generation of TCM and TEM and, secondly, what is the migratory capacity of TCM and TEM cells in inflammatory conditions. By using naive TCR-transgenic OT-I CD8+ T cells and OT-II CD4+ T cells and ovalbumin pulsed-mature dendritic cells (DCs) we set up an in vitro system in which the strength of T cell stimulation is controlled by varying the ratio of T cells and DCs and the duration of DC-T cell interaction. Using this system we found that precursors of TCM and TEM cells are generated at different strength of stimulation and that T cells capable of persisting in vivo in the absence of antigen and of mounting recall responses is optimally induced by intermediate stimulatory strength. In addition, we found that lymph nodes draining sites of mature DC or adjuvant inoculation recruit CD8+ CD62L- CCR7- effector and TEM cells. CD8+ T cell recruitment in reactive lymph nodes requires CXCR3 expression on T cells and occurs through high endothelial venules (HEVs) in concert with HEV lurninal expression of the CXCR3 ligand CXCL9. In reactive lymph nodes, recruited T cells establish stable interactions with and kill antigen-bearing DCs, limiting the ability of these DCs to activate CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Taken togther these data define conditions for the generation of TCM and TEM cells and define an inflammatory pathway of effector T cell migration in lymph nodes. The inducible recruitment of blood-borne effector and TEM CD8+ cells to lymph nodes may represent a mechanism for terminating primary and limiting secondary immune responses.

As reflection on the education in the Escola Elisava and of the design education in general, the intervention tries to treat the debates that for many years had existed tacitly between the different academic classes, showing the critical situation that it supposes - especially for the fragile design - that one any of these classes influences over the others. From middle of the 90s, the progressive adoption generalized in the higher education of the Anglo-Saxon model ¿with clear predominance of the institutional thing¿ has showed the indicative character of the critique that here is exhibited.

In this work, we demonstrate that conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) is a very powerful tool to investigate, at the nanoscale, metal-oxide-semiconductor structures with silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) embedded in the gate oxide as memory devices. The high lateral resolution of this technique allows us to study extremely small areas ( ~ 300nm2) and, therefore, the electrical properties of a reduced number of Si-nc. C-AFM experiments have demonstrated that Si-nc enhance the gate oxide electrical conduction due to trap-assisted tunneling. On the other hand, Si-nc can act as trapping centers. The amount of charge stored in Si-nc has been estimated through the change induced in the barrier height measured from the I-V characteristics. The results show that only ~ 20% of the Si-nc are charged, demonstrating that the electrical behavior at the nanoscale is consistent with the macroscopic characterization.

Evidence exists that many natural facts are described better as a fractal. Although fractals are very useful for describing nature, it is also appropiate to review the concept of random fractal in finance. Due to the extraordinary importance of Brownian motion in physics, chemistry or biology, we will consider the generalization that supposes fractional Brownian motion introduced by Mandelbrot.The main goal of this work is to analyse the existence of long range dependence in instantaneous forward rates of different financial markets. Concretelly, we perform an empirical analysis on the Spanish, Mexican and U.S. interbanking interest rate. We work with three time series of daily data corresponding to 1 day operations from 28th March 1996 to 21st May 2002. From among all the existing tests on this matter we apply the methodology proposed in Taqqu, Teverovsky and Willinger (1995).
