Models of relativistic particle with curvature and torsion revisited

Models, describing relativistic particles, where Lagrangian densities depend linearly on both the curvature and the torsion of the trajectories, are revisited in D=3 space forms. The moduli spaces of trajectories are completely and explicitly determined using the Lancret program. The moduli subspaces of closed solitons in the three sphere are also determined.Comment: 13 page

Sistema de Información Geográfica para la Gestión de Información de Planes Urbano Territoriales

En la presente investigación se formuló el problema general: ¿Cuál es el efecto de implementar un Sistema de Información Geográfica para mejorar la Gestión de la Información de los Planes Urbano Territoriales?, el objetivo general fue: Implementar un Sistema de Información Geográfica para mejorar la Gestión de la Información de los Planes Urbano Territoriales; y la hipótesis general que se verificó: La implementación de un Sistema de Información Geográfica mejora la Gestión de la Información de los Planes Urbano Territoriales. El método general empleado fue el deductivo-inductivo, el tipo de investigación fue aplicada y con enfoque cuantitativo, de nivel explicativo, de diseño pre experimental de corte longitudinal, la población fue de 20 profesionales de la DGPRVU del MVCS, no se utilizó técnica de muestreo sino un censo por tratarse de una población pequeña. La investigación permitió llegar a la principal conclusión que, con la implementación del Sistema de Información Geográfica se mejoró la Gestión de la Información de los Planes Urbano Territoriales, la afirmación es respaldada por las pruebas estadísticas aplicadas a las encuestas, logrando diferencias significativas y permitiendo reafirmar la hipótesis de investigación planteada.Tesi

Binormal Motion of Curves with Constant Torsion in 3-Spaces

We study curve motion by the binormal flow with curvature and torsion depending velocity and sweeping out immersed surfaces. Using the Gauss-Codazzi equations, we obtain filaments evolving with constant torsion which arise from extremal curves of curvature energy functionals. They are "soliton" solutions in the sense that they evolve without changing shape.This research was supported by MINECO-FEDER Grant MTM2014-54804-P, Gobierno Vasco Grant IT1094-16, and UPV/EHU GIU13/08, Spain.

Programa cognitivo conductual para la ansiedad social en adolescentes del nivel secundario en la ciudad de Chiclayo

La ansiedad social se convierte en un problema real dentro de la vida de los adolescentes y se manifiesta en el ámbito, cognitivo, fisiológico y conductual. Los mismos que se sienten paralizados y viven situaciones sumamente amenazantes en donde el sujeto lo interpreta como un peligro real, bajo estas condiciones existe una realidad que se describe como el problema de la investigación, la insuficiencia en el proceso cognitivo conductual incide en la ansiedad social, tal como lo refleja el diagnóstico causal, en donde se aplicó el cuestionario de Beck que evidencio niveles de ansiedad de moderado a grave en un 90%. Por ello se elabora un Programa cognitivo conductual para la ansiedad social en los adolescentes del Colegio Privado “Juan Mejía Baca” de la ciudad de Chiclayo para disminuir la ansiedad social el cual genera angustia y frustración por lo tanto requiere intervención a través de un programa cognitivo conductual que contribuya al manejo de la ansiedad social y mejore sus estrategias adaptativas, superando progresivamente los pensamientos irracionales o desadaptativos. El aporte practico está compuesto de 12 sesiones de 60 minutos en donde se aplican técnicas cognitivas conductuales, bajo los principios de Aron Beck y Ellis. El programa fue aplicado parcialmente causando gran impacto y resultados positivos.TesisCiencias de la vida y cuidado de la salud human

B-Function Expression in the Flower Center Underlies the Homeotic Phenotype of Lacandonia schismatica (Triuridaceae)

Spontaneous homeotic transformations have been described in natural populations of both plants and animals, but little is known about the molecular-genetic mechanisms underlying these processes in plants. In the ABC model of floral organ identity in Arabidopsis thaliana, the B- and C-functions are necessary for stamen morphogenesis, and C alone is required for carpel identity. We provide ABC model-based molecular-genetic evidence that explains the unique inside-out homeotic floral organ arrangement of the monocotyledonous mycoheterotroph species Lacandonia schismatica (Triuridaceae) from Mexico. Whereas a quarter million flowering plant species bear central carpels surrounded by stamens, L. schismatica stamens occur in the center of the flower and are surrounded by carpels. The simplest explanation for this is that the B-function is displaced toward the flower center. Our analyses of the spatio-temporal pattern of B- and C-function gene expression are consistent with this hypothesis. The hypothesis is further supported by conservation between the B-function genes of L. schismatica and Arabidopsis, as the former are able to rescue stamens in Arabidopsis transgenic complementation lines, and Ls-AP3 and Ls-PI are able to interact with each other and with the corresponding Arabidopsis B-function proteins in yeast. Thus, relatively simple molecular modifications may underlie important morphological shifts in natural populations of extant plant taxa

“Plug and play” modular façade construction system for building renovation to achieve nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB)

Following energy performance improvement policies, there is a need for the massive renovation of the European building stock. The prevalence of multi-rise buildings with concrete structure and poor thermal performance offers a significant opportunity for renovation packages that facilitate the improvement of the building fabric, with its insulation, air-tightness and integration of building services and solar technologies. The RenoZEB project develops a "plug and play" modular facade construction system answering to this need. This prefabricated plug and play modular system has been tested by reproducing the holistic methodology and new technologies in the market by means of real and virtual demonstrators. The applicability and effectiveness of the methodology has been tested by means of a full-scale mock-up system has been constructed and installed in the KUBIK by Tecnalia test facility. The design, construction, manufacture & installation cycle has been tested. Its applicability for a real construction project for a multi-rise residential building in Spain is presented.This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 768718

Biomolecule surface patterning may enhance membrane association

Under dehydration conditions, amphipathic Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins fold spontaneously from a random conformation into alpha-helical structures and this transition is promoted by the presence of membranes. To gain insight into the thermodynamics of membrane association we model the resulting alpha-helical structures as infinite rigid cylinders patterned with hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes oriented parallel to their axis. Statistical thermodynamic calculations using Single Chain Mean Field (SCMF) theory show that the relative thickness of the stripes controls the free energy of interaction of the alpha-helices with a phospholipid bilayer, as does the bilayer structure and the depth of the equilibrium penetration of the cylinders into the bilayer. The results may suggest the optimal thickness of the stripes to mimic the association of such protein with membranes.Comment: Published in ACS Nano http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/nn204736
