    1 archivo PDF (18 páginas). fhduodequadragintaLa literatura femenina bajomedieval española ha recibido y sigue recibiendo muy distintas denominaciones: literatura de matrimonio, literatura para mujeres o literatura feminista o antifeminista. Estas últimas acepciones van a ser el centro de atención y estudio de nuestro trabajo, pues creemos que el uso indiscriminado que se produce en la crítica literaria desvirtúa la naturaleza de las obras bajomedievales y el sentido preciso que tienen los términos feminista y antifeminista, apartándolos de su correcta taxonomía y de su ideología más propia

    A Semi-Distributed Electric Demand-Side Management System with PV Generation for Self-Consumption Enhancement

    This paper presents the operation of an Electrical Demand-Side Management (EDSM) system in a real solar house. The use of EDSM is one of the most important action lines to improve the grid electrical efficiency. The combination between the EDSM and the PV generation performs a new control level in the local electric behavior and allows new energy possibilities. The solar house used as test-bed for the EDSM system owns a PV generator, a lead-acid battery storage system and a grid connection. The electrical appliances are controllable from an embedded computer. The EDSM is implemented by a control system which schedules the tasks commanded by the user. By using the control system, we define the house energy policy and improve the energy behavior with regard to a selected energy criterion, self-consumption. The EDSM system favors self-consumption with regard to a standard user behavior and reduces the energy load from the grid

    Tracking algorithms for the active target MAYA

    The MAYA detector is a Time-Charge Projection Chamber based on the concept of active target. These type of devices use a part of the detection system, the filling gas in this case, in the role of reaction target. The MAYA detector performs three-dimensional tracking, in order to determine physical observables of the reactions occurring inside the detector. The reconstruction algorithms of the tracking use the information from a two-dimensional projection on the segmented cathode, and, in general, they need to be adapted for the different experimental settings of the detector. This work presents some of the most relevant solutions developed for the MAYA detector

    [Resumen] Este trabajo pretende analizar uno de los principales sectores estratégicos del turismo gallego en la actualidad y con mejores perspectivas de futuro: el turismo termal. Con este fin, se analizará primero el peso del turismo en Galicia tanto en términos de PIB como de empleo; su contribución al total nacional y su posición relativa respecto a otras comunidades autónomas. La segunda parte del trabajo se concentrará en el estudio de las ventajas y desventajas de otras especialidades turísticas gallegas, concentrándose especialmente en dos: una más histórica, desarrollada en torno a la ciudad de Santiago de Compostela, y otra más reciente, como el turismo rural. Por último, el trabajo aporta un análisis de los factores de oferta y demanda que han convertido al sector balneario gallego en una de las actividades turísticas más importantes de Galicia. El turismo termal representa una industria con gran tradición histórica que ha sabido reciclarse y aprovechar el marco de oportunidades del mercado actual. El cuidado de la salud, la belleza y la búsqueda del bienestar en entornos conectados con la naturaleza representan hoy en día una parte importante de las demandas de ocio de la población. El turismo termal gallego cuenta con grandes ventajas competitivas y de partida para cubrir este creciente nicho de mercado. Este trabajo pone de manifiesto como el sector ha sabido aprovechar buena parte de sus potencialidades en las últimas décadas y presenta perspectivas de futuro muy favorables.[Abstract] This paper analyses one of the fastest growing industry in Galicia and with more development possibilities in the future: thermal tourism. To this end, the economic importance of tourism in Galicia will be discussed firstly in terms of its contribution to GDP and employment in total and comparative terms. The second part of this work will focus on the study of the advantages and disadvantages of other tourist activities in Galicia, focusing particularly on two: a more historical tourism, developed around the city of Santiago de Compostela, and a more recent activity, such as rural tourism. Finally, the study provides an analysis of supply and demand factors that have made the Galician spa sector in one of the most popular tourist activities in Galicia. Thermal tourism is an industry with great historical tradition that has managed to recycle and exploit opportunities within the current market. Health care, beauty and the pursuit of well-being in environments connected with nature today represent an important part of the leisure demands of the population. The Galician thermal tourism has great competitive advantages and starting to cover this growing niche market. This work shows how the sector has taken advantage of many of its potential in the past decades and how its future prospects are favourable.Traballo fin de grao (UDC.ECO). Economía. Curso 2014/201

    The shell phenotypic variability of the keyhole limpet Fissurella latimarginata: insights from an experimental approach using a water flow flume

    Hydrodynamics are a major environmental factor on intertidal rocky shores. Morphological responses to this factor are expected to strongly influence spatial distribution of species across environmental gradients. We here analysed the shell phenotypic variability of the limpet Fissurella latimarginata using geometric mor phometric analysis. The limpets were obtained from a sheltered intertidal coastal area and a wave-exposed environment. To determine whether the shell shape variation of the intertidal molluscs is linked to their resistance to differential intertidal wave exposure, mesocosm studies were developed in a hydraulic flume to explore the effects of hydrodynamic forces on this limpet species. A unidirectional current was used to test the impacts of step-by-step increased current flow velocities for each limpet. The phenotypic variability observed in the populations of F. latimarginata was associated with habitats characterized by contrasting wave exposure. Limpets from exposed environments showed a flattened, round to laterally wider and posteriorly narrower shell shape, larger foot and higher full limpet height, and were dislodged at higher velocities. A more laterally compressed and peaked shape was found in limpets from sheltered areas and these showed a lower resistance to wave action by dislodging at lower velocities.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Kinetics of Carboxylmethylation of the Charge Isoforms of Myelin Basic Protein by Protein Methyltransferase II

    Full text link
    The charge isoforms (C1-C5) of bovine myelin basic protein (MBP) were used as substrates for the rat brain enzyme protein carboxylmethyltransferase (PM II). The objective of these experiments was to ascertain whether the kinetic behavior of the MBP isoforms reflected differences in the structures of this molecular family. Initial velocity plots as a function of the MBP-isoform concentration showed significnt differences ( p > 0.05) among the assayed isoforms except for isoforms C2 and C4. Under the conditions of our experiment all the curves exhibited a consistent sigmoidicity. The kinetic data were best fitted by a model, previously described for the enzyme D-Β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, in which two independent sites must be randomly occupied before any catalytic activity can occur. This mechanism is substantially different from that proposed by other investigators for similar PM II enzymes and other substrates. The differences in the rates of isoform carboxylmethylation are largely accounted for by the different apparent dissociation constants K s and is explained on the basis of inherent structural differences among the charge isoforms.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/65821/1/j.1471-4159.1989.tb09257.x.pd
