    [ES] La autopista AP-7 forma parte del corredor viario del mediterráneo, uno de los grandes corredores de la Unión Europea, y comunica Francia con Algeciras. En la actualidad, gran parte de la misma dentro de la Comunidad Valenciana se encuentra en régimen de concesión, que se extingue a finales de 2019. Esta situación futura creará un impacto económico en dicho territorio que merece ser estudiado desde el punto de vista técnico. Para ello, se realiza un estudio del tráfico actual y una prognosis hasta el año 2040, donde se plantean diferentes escenarios basados en las transferencias del tráfico hacia la AP-7 desde ejes paralelos según el coste del peaje. Se divide la autopista en dos tramos bien diferenciados, uno norte que va desde el límte de Castellón a Sagunto, y otro sur desde Algemesí hasta El Campello. Además, se tienen en cuenta las actuaciones que pretenden llevarse a cabo en las carreteras afectadas según el plan de inversión estatal PITVI. Para poder comparar los diferentes escenarios propuestos se plantea la creación de un ratio, definiéndose así el ‘ratio específico’ que compara económicamente las vías a través de la movilidad de vehículos que se experimenta en cada carretera por unidad de longitud, frente a los costes que conlleva su explotación (peaje), conservación e inversión de las nuevas actuaciones previstas. Al final se obtienen las conclusiones que ayuden a las administraciones afectadas sobre la decisión a tomar en la renovación o no de la concesión de la AP-7 a partir del año 2020.Pérez Zamora, J.; Carrera Hueso, MAS.

    The role of a class III gibberellin 2-oxidase in tomato internode elongation

    [EN] A network of environmental inputs and internal signaling controls plant growth, development and organ elongation. In particular, the growth-promoting hormone gibberellin (GA) has been shown to play a significant role in organ elongation. The use of tomato as a model organism to study elongation presents an opportunity to study the genetic control of internode-specific elongation in a eudicot species with a sympodial growth habit and substantial internodes that can and do respond to external stimuli. To investigate internode elongation, a mutant with an elongated hypocotyl and internodes but wild-type petioles was identified through a forward genetic screen. In addition to stem-specific elongation, this mutant, named tomato internode elongated -1 (tie-1) is more sensitive to the GA biosynthetic inhibitor paclobutrazol and has altered levels of intermediate and bioactive GAs compared with wild-type plants. The mutation responsible for the internode elongation phenotype was mapped to GA2oxidase 7, a class III GA 2-oxidase in the GA biosynthetic pathway, through a bulked segregant analysis and bioinformatic pipeline, and confirmed by transgenic complementation. Furthermore, bacterially expressed recombinant TIE protein was shown to have bona fide GA 2-oxidase activity. These results define a critical role for this gene in internode elongation and are significant because they further the understanding of the role of GA biosynthetic genes in organ-specific elongation.This work used the Vincent J.

    Regulation of ovule initiation by gibberellins and brassinosteroids in tomato and Arabidopsis: two plant species, two molecular mechanisms

    This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Barro¿Trastoy, D., Carrera, E., Baños, J., Palau-Rodríguez, J., Ruiz-Rivero, O., Tornero, P., Alonso, J.M., López-Díaz, I., Gómez, M.D. and Pérez-Amador, M.A. (2020), Regulation of ovule initiation by gibberellins and brassinosteroids in tomato and Arabidopsis: two plant species, two molecular mechanisms. Plant J, 102: 1026-1041, which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14684. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving.[EN] Ovule primordia formation is a complex developmental process with a strong impact on the production of seeds. In Arabidopsis this process is controlled by a gene network, including components of the signalling pathways of auxin, brassinosteroids (BRs) and cytokinins. Recently, we have shown that gibberellins (GAs) also play an important role in ovule primordia initiation, inhibiting ovule formation in both Arabidopsis and tomato. Here we reveal that BRs also participate in the control of ovule initiation in tomato, by promoting an increase on ovule primordia formation. Moreover, molecular and genetic analyses of the co-regulation by GAs and BRs of the control of ovule initiation indicate that two different mechanisms occur in tomato and Arabidopsis. In tomato, GAs act downstream of BRs. BRs regulate ovule number through the downregulation of GA biosynthesis, which provokes stabilization of DELLA proteins that will finally promote ovule primordia initiation. In contrast, in Arabidopsis both GAs and BRs regulate ovule number independently of the activity levels of the other hormone. Taken together, our data strongly suggest that different molecular mechanisms could operate in different plant species to regulate identical developmental processes even, as for ovule primordia initiation, if the same set of hormones trigger similar responses, adding a new level of complexity.We wish to thank B.

    La figura del defensor del menor en la Comunidad de Madrid: un análisis intergubernamental y comparado

    Get PDF
    Esta publicación da cuenta de una investigación, financiada por el Defensor del Menor de la Comunidad de Madrid (Asamblea de la Comunidad de Madrid) en que, de manera pionera, se aplica la metodología de análisis intergubernamental en España a una institución pública. También se aplica el análisis comparativo. La investigación contó con la participación en el trabajo de campo de decenas de organizaciones e instituciones públicas españolas y extranjeras. El estudio se desenvuelve en ocho capítulos, sin contar las conclusiones y las fuentes y anexos. En los primeros se realiza una aproximación a la metodología intergubernamental como marco de comprensión del conjunto de trabajo, se tratan los asuntos normativos y se analizan las redes de actores de que forma parte del Defensor del Menor, mostrando el lugar central que ocupa en varias de ellas. El capítulo VI profundiza en la legitimidad y realiza una operativización cualitativa de la misma a partir de la clásica distinción entre legitimidad institucional y por rendimientos, esquema que se confronta con las actuaciones del Defensor. El capítulo VII se plantea en qué medida el Defensor del Menor puede considerarse una organización moderna, en tanto que el VIII se centra en el análisis comparativo de esta figura con otras organizaciones defensoras de los derechos de la infancia tanto a nivel nacional como internacional

    The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment

    Get PDF
    The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourteenth from SDSS overall (making this, Data Release Fourteen or DR14). This release makes public data taken by SDSS-IV in its first two years of operation (July 2014-2016). Like all previous SDSS releases, DR14 is cumulative, including the most recent reductions and calibrations of all data taken by SDSS since the first phase began operations in 2000. New in DR14 is the first public release of data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS); the first data from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory (APO) Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE-2), including stellar parameter estimates from an innovative data driven machine learning algorithm known as "The Cannon"; and almost twice as many data cubes from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) survey as were in the previous release (N = 2812 in total). This paper describes the location and format of the publicly available data from SDSS-IV surveys. We provide references to the important technical papers describing how these data have been taken (both targeting and observation details) and processed for scientific use. The SDSS website (www.sdss.org) has been updated for this release, and provides links to data downloads, as well as tutorials and examples of data use. SDSS-IV is planning to continue to collect astronomical data until 2020, and will be followed by SDSS-V.Comment: SDSS-IV collaboration alphabetical author data release paper. DR14 happened on 31st July 2017. 19 pages, 5 figures. Accepted by ApJS on 28th Nov 2017 (this is the "post-print" and "post-proofs" version; minor corrections only from v1, and most of errors found in proofs corrected

    Mexican radiation dermatitis management consensus

    Get PDF
    Abstract Background: Radiotherapy (RT) is an essential element in cancer treatment: 50–70% of cancer patients receive RT at some time of the course of their disease. Of these, almost 95% experience some grade of radiation dermatitis (RD). RD can affect patient’s quality of life during and after treatment. Consequently, the management of RD is important. There are few randomized controlled clinical trials on interventions used to prevent and treat RD and no standardized consensus on RD management. A panel of opinion leaders of the Mexican Society of Radiotherapy (SOMERA) took part in a study of oncologic practice in Mexico. The following clinical guide is referenced both by the national practice reality and international evidence. Materials and methods: This RD management guide is based on input provided by 25 Mexican radiation oncologists, whose criteria were gathered using the Delphi Method and article review. Results: Twenty-one questions about experience in RD treatment were voted. More than 80% of the panel agreed with: the use of dermocosmetics/medical device in prevention and in treatment of RD grades 1–2. As for grade 3, they recommend individualizing each case and dermatologist evaluation. Topical steroids should be used when there is skin itching or pain. Consider the use of natural soaking elements. Skin care must be continued to avoid or reduce severity of late radiation skin lesions. Conclusion: This consensus was developed as a supportive educational tool that can be adapted to individual clinical needs, useful for professionals involved in the treatment of RT patients.
