“De genere militari ex utroque parente”: la nobleza eclesiástica y los inicios de la catedral gótica de Gerona

A lo largo de este estudio se pone de relieve el papel fundamental que desempeñaron los miembros del cabildo en el proyecto y construcción de la cabecera de la catedral gerundense. Para este grupo de personajes, básicamente procedentes de la baja nobleza altoampurdanesa, la nueva empresa edilicia supuso la posibilidad de satisfacer el deseo de promover beneficios eclesiásticos así como el objetivo de disponer de nuevos espacios —las capillas de la girola— concebidos como expresión de la gloria y la memoria individual y del linaje

Methods for the ex vivo characterization of human CD8+ T subsets based on gene expression and replicative history analysis.

The generation of an antigen-specific T-lymphocyte response is a complex multi-step process. Upon T-cell receptor-mediated recognition of antigen presented by activated dendritic cells, naive T-lymphocytes enter a program of proliferation and differentiation, during the course of which they acquire effector functions and may ultimately become memory T-cells. A major goal of modern immunology is to precisely identify and characterize effector and memory T-cell subpopulations that may be most efficient in disease protection. Sensitive methods are required to address these questions in exceedingly low numbers of antigen-specific lymphocytes recovered from clinical samples, and not manipulated in vitro. We have developed new techniques to dissect immune responses against viral or tumor antigens. These allow the isolation of various subsets of antigen-specific T-cells (with major histocompatibility complex [MHC]-peptide multimers and five-color FACS sorting) and the monitoring of gene expression in individual cells (by five-cell reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]). We can also follow their proliferative life history by flow-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of average telomere length. Recently, using these tools, we have identified subpopulations of CD8+ T-lymphocytes with distinct proliferative history and partial effector-like properties. Our data suggest that these subsets descend from recently activated T-cells and are committed to become differentiated effector T-lymphocytes.

Analisi comparata delle produzioni vitivinicole : un confronto Emilia Romagna-Catalogna

In questo elaborato finale verrà affrontato uno studio comparato dei vini dell'Emilia Romagna e della Catalogna. La tesi spazierà dall'ottenimento del vino fino ai tempi attuali. Prima perciò, si parlerà delle origini del vino fino all'attualità, della situazione mondiale del vino, così in produzione come in coltivazione, consumo, etc. Dopo si concentrarà nell'Europa, dove si analizzeranno i diversi paesi produttori, passando dopo alla produzione italiana e spagnola e infine alle regioni dell'Emilia Romagna (Italia) e della Catalogna (Spagna) dove ci sarà un analisi più dettagliata in tutti gli aspetti
