    Marine 5-thiohistidines as protective molecules from skin damage

    Get PDF
    Introduction Marine environment is a great source of bioactive molecules, whose biological properties and applications are often used especially to prevent skin diseases and aging caused by UVA­exposure. Ovothiols are methyl­5­thiohistidines from marine invertebrates, bacteria, and microalgae, which protect cells from environmental stressors. Recently, we have shown that, ovothiol, isolated from sea urchin eggs, exerts anti­inflammatory and antioxidant activities on human endothelial cells, and exhibits antifibrotic effect in an in vivo model of liver fibrosis.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    [email protected] ensayo describe las características del discurso público producido en Polonia sobre la Unión Europea. Entendemos como discurso público el que se caracteriza mediante los atributos de autoridad (es decir, aquel que producen los intelectuales y políticos) y difusión (canalizado por medios y técnicas de distribución masiva).This paper deals with the character of Polish public discourse about the European Union. Public discourse means here a discourse based on authority (the discourse of intellectuals and politicians) and on diffusion (through means of communication)[email protected]

    "Mudar de casa": la retórica del espacio en los Artículos de Larra

    Get PDF
    Este estudio analiza el complejo uso del espacio en el extenso corpus de Artículos de Larra. Nunca mero fondo, lo espacial funciona en larra como mecanismo para caracterizar a los personajes, explicar conceptos abstractos, reescribir tópicos literarios, como figura retórica o para ejercer la función romántica de servir como paralelo para mostrar la subjetividad. Asimismo, las alusiones a los espacial trazan una diacronía que nos conduce desde un espacio dominado por la lente del satírico a la visión de un hombre ahogado por el espacio y finalmente hecho espacio, y donde la distinción interior / exterior, al principio claramente delimitada, va desmoronándose de modo paralelo. Artículos como “La nochebuena de 1836” o “El día de difuntos” aparecen así como el resultado de una evolución en Larra como sujeto poético y retórico que proyecta y se proyecta en el espacio. This study analyzes the complex use of space in the extensive corpus of Larra’s Articles. Never mere background, the spatial functions in Larra as a mechanism for characterization, as a means to explain abstract Concepts, to rewrite literary topics, as a rhetorical figure or to perform the Romantic funciton of being a parallel for subjectivity. In the same way, the allusions to the spatial trace a diachrony that leads us from a space dominated by the lens of the satiric to a vision of a man drowned by space and finally becoming space, where the distinction between interior / exterior, clearly delimited at the beginning, destroys itself in parallel fashion. Thus, artcles such as “La nochebuena de 1836” or “El día de difuntos” appear as the resulto f an evolution in Larra as a poetic and rheotical subject that projects in andi s a projection of space

    Motion Sickness Minimization Alerting System Using The Next Curvature Topology

    Current intelligent car prototypes increasingly move to become autonomous where no driver is required. If an automated vehicle has rearward and forward facing seats and none of the passengers pay attention to the road, they increasingly experience the motion sickness because of the inability of passengers to anticipate the future motion trajectory. In this paper, we focus on anticipatory audio and video cues using pleasant sounds and a Human Machine Interface to display and inform the passengers about the upcoming trajectories that may lead to make the passengers sick. To be able to anticipate the next moves, we require an evaluation system of the next 1 kilometer of the road using the map. The road is investigated based on the amount of the turns and the maximum speed allowed that lead to lateral accelerations that is high enough based on Motion Sickness Dose Value to make the passengers sick. The system alerts the passengers through a Human Machine Interface to focus on the road for prevention of the Motion Sickness. We evaluate our method by using Motion Sickness Dose Value. Based on this work, we can prevent the sickness due to lateral accelerations by making the passengers to focus on the road and decrease the vestibular conflict
