Perturbation of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport affects size of nucleus and nucleolus in human cells

Size regulation of human cell nucleus and nucleolus are poorly understood subjects. 3D reconstruction of live image shows that the karyoplasmic ratio (KR) increases by 30-80% in transformed cell lines compared to their immortalized counterpart. The attenuation of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport causes the KR value to increase by 30-50% in immortalized cell lines. Nucleolus volumes are significantly increased in transformed cell lines and the attenuation of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport causes a significant increase in the nucleolus volume of immortalized cell lines. A cytosol and nuclear fraction swapping experiment emphasizes the potential role of unknown cytosolic factors in nuclear and nucleolar size regulation.

Moralidad, ética y ciencias

El panorama científico contemporáneo se nos manifiesta con una pronunciada asepsia con respecto a toda relación axiológica y una carencia notable de regulación ético-normativa, preocupando, en especial, el funcionamiento de las ciencias que tienen al hombre, directa o indirectamente, como sujeto de tratamiento. Una vez más, como en las épocas más puras de mecanicismo científico, el dato sensible, la reducción matemática (o lógico-matemática) y la expresión sólo teórica del pensamiento, se presentan como ingredientes necesarios y suficientes para alcanzar la verdad y la certeza. En este contexto, tanto a la Ética como a la Filosofía Moral le significa un gran esfuerzo obtener un lugar y ostentar alguna función propiamente científica en el cuadro de los saberes, hasta el extremo de sufrir el desprestigio o acusaciones de ilegitimidad, con la lógica consecuencia de no poder brindar bases sólidas a un ethos del científico, es decir, al proceder moralmente digno en la vida del científico.

Causas y consecuencias de la insatisfacción en consumidores con atribuciones externas

[ES] Este trabajo aborda el estudio de la formación de la insatisfacción, desde la perspectiva cognitiva y afectiva, y de sus consecuencias en forma de intenciones de comportamientos de queja. El objetivo es investigar la influencia directa e indirecta, a través de los afectos negativos, que ejerce la desconfirmación de expectativas sobre la insatisfacción, y analizar la contribución de estos juicios sobre las intenciones de respuestas de queja, a terceras partes y privadas. A partir de una muestra de clientes insatisfechos con restaurantes que manifiestan distintos niveles de atribución externa, se ha construido un modelo causal para estudiar las relaciones.

Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Affects Environmental: presented at American Society of Civil Engineers National Water Resources Engineering Meeting, Phoenix, Arizona, 14 January 1971

The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is a man-made waterway connecting the upper Chesapeake Bay with the Delaware Bay. It started in 1829 as a private barge canal with locks, two at the Delaware end, and one at the Chesapeake end. For the most part, natural tidal and non-tidal waterways were connected by short dredged sections to form the original canal. In 1927, the C and D Canal was converted to a sea-level canal, with a controlling depth of 14 feet, and a width of 150 feet. In 1938 the canal was deepened to 27 feet, with a channel width of 250 feet. Channel side slopes were dredged at 2.5:1, thus making the total width of the waterway at least 385 feet in those segments representing new cuts or having shore spoil area dykes rising above sea level. In 1954 Congress authorized a further enlargement of the Canal to a depth of 35 feet and a channel width of 450 feet. (pdf contains 27 pages)
