Las Ă©lites femeninas en las ciudades gallegas de la Baja Edad Media
Una primera versiĂłn de este artĂculo fue presentada en el congreso "Élites y oligarquĂas urbanas a fines de la Edad Media. Los nĂşcleos urbanos del norte peninsular" (Vitoria, 24 y 25 de enero de 2012).En las ciudades medievales vivĂan mujeres de diferentes grupos sociales. Sin embargo, los historiadores han estudiado con mayor atenciĂłn las mujeres que trabajaban fuera del hogar en diversos oficios, y no tanto las que formaban parte de las oligarquĂas urbanas. Por ello, el objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las Ă©lites femeninas en las ciudades gallegas de la Baja Edad Media, señalando quiĂ©nes eran y cuál era su papel en el seno de la oligarquĂa. De ese modo, conoceremos algunos nombres, espacios, relaciones, actuaciones pĂşblicas y actitudes ante la muerte de esas Ă©lites femeninas.Women from different social groups lived in medieval towns. However, historians have studied more closely women working outside their homes in various trades and, far less, women that were part of the urban oligarchies. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze female elites in Galician towns during the Late Middle Ages, indicating who they were and what their role within the oligarchy was. So, we will know some names, places, relationships, public actions and attitudes to death of those female elites
Microwave optics experiments
Treballs Finals de Grau de FĂsica, Facultat de FĂsica, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2018, Tutor: Cèsar Ferrater MartorellIn this project, we use a simple experimental set-up in order to observe Total Internal Reflection within a right-angle PVC prism. Later, we measure Frustrated Total Internal Reflection, also known as optical tunnelling, using two of such prisms. Before doing so, we also study our non-ideal experimental set-up. Its imperfections, on the one hand, set several diffculties when it comes to quantitatively analyze the experimentally obtained data. On the other hand, though, these deviations from the ideal behaviour are interesting enough to be studied by themselves. As suggested in the title, these experiments have been performed using microwaves, instead of visible light, the most commonly used spectrum in optics experiments

University of Málaga, Spain. The C57BL/6 (BL/6) mouse strain is one of the most
common models in research involving laboratory animals, particularly on studies of the cardiovascular system. It has been reported (Fernandez B, et al. J Anat 2008 212(1):12–18) that this strain presents an unusual coronary artery (CA) pattern, including congenital CA anomalies, which are clinically relevant in humans. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether this pattern is strain-specific or appears in other mouse populations.
We used stereomicroscopy, scanning electron
microscopy, light microscopy, and a corrosion cast
technique in 597 adult mice belonging to three
inbred strains (BL/6, Balb/c, DBA/2), three outbred stocks (CD1, OF1, NMR1), two hybrid lines (129sv x BL/6, CD2F1) and wild mice.
Lock-like ostium was only detected in BL/6 mice,
whereas left septal artery, accessory ostium, high
take-off, intramural course, and solitary ostium of one CA in aorta were present in different laboratory strains and in wild mice. However, each mouse population showed a specific incidence of these coronary conditions.
These results should be taken into account when
studying the murine coronary system, especially in
CA occlusion experiments and in studies on cardiovascular development involving murine mutant lines. In addition, we propose that several laboratory mouse strains may serve as appropriate animal models to study several clinically relevant human congenital anomalies of the CAs. Our results suggest that some of these CA anomalies are subject to a simple mode of inheritance.

Fast determination of capsaicinoids from peppers by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography using a reversed phase Monolithic Column
This article reports the development of a rapid and reproducible method of HPLC with fluorescence detection for the determination
and quantification of the main capsaicinoids (nordihydrocapsaicin, capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, homocapsaicin and homodihydro-capsaicin)
present in hot peppers by employing a monolithic column
3D FEM model development from 3D optical measurement technique applied to corroded steel bars
Understanding the mechanical effects of the corrosion pits on the steel surface requires an accurate definition of their geometry and distribution along the rebar. 3D optical measurement technique is used to obtain the outer geometry of artificially corroded bars tested under cyclic or monotonic loads. 3D FEM model development from the 3D scanning results were carried out in order to investigate the failure process and local effects on the pits, which are responsible of the variation of the mechanical properties in corroded steel reinforcement. In addition, a validation of a simplified model, which allows the mechanical steel properties determination given an estimated corrosion level, is presented. 3D models were convenient to observe and measure the local effects on the pits.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
