    Wine tourism is a growing economic activity in Castilla y León. More and more people are interested in knowing the ins and outs of the world of wine, so wine is becoming one of the pillars of rural development in the plains of the Duero. In order to achieve this key role in the territory, this activity has had to adapt to changes in the tastes of consumers and, especially, to faster and more direct new forms of communication. This paper aims to outlook the existing situation in the wineries of Castilla y León in the field of new technologies and, especially, of websites and social networks, two key tools for the development of wine tourism.El enoturismo es una actividad económica en crecimiento en Castilla y León. Cada vez son más las personas interesadas en conocer el mundo de la vid y el vino, convirtiéndose en uno de los pilares del desarrollo rural en las llanuras del Duero. Para lograr este papel clave en el territorio, esta actividad ha tenido que adaptarse a los cambios en los gustos de los consumidores y, en especial, a las nuevas formas de comunicación digital, más rápidas y directas. Con este trabajo se pretende ver la situación existente en las bodegas castellano-leonesas en el ámbito de las nuevas tecnologías y, en especial, de las páginas web y redes sociales, dos herramientas claves para el desarrollo del turismo enológico

    The optimization of novel transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) implies a better understanding of the role that the dopant plays on the optoelectronic properties of these materials. In this work, we perform a systematic study of the homologous series ZnkIn2Ok+3 (IZO) by characterizing the specific location of indium in the structure that leads to a nanodomain framework to release structural strain. Through a systematic study of different terms of the series, we have been able to observe the influence of the k value in the nano-structural features of this homologous series. The stabilization and visualization of the structural modulation as a function of k is discussed, even in the lowest term of the series (k = 3). The strain fields and atomic displacements in the wurtzite structure as a consequence of the introduction of In3+ are evaluated.Depto. de Química InorgánicaFac. de Ciencias QuímicasTRUEMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Tecnología /Ministerio de EconomíaComunidad de Madridpu

    A novel mutation, outside of the candidate region for diagnosis, in the inverted formin 2 gene can cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis

    Get PDF
    Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histological pattern that has several etiologies, including genetics. The autosomal dominant form of FSGS is a heterogenic disease caused by mutations within three known genes: alpha-actinin 4 (ACTN4), canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6), and the inverted formin 2 (INF2) gene. More recently, INF2 mutations have also been attributed to Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy associated with FSGS. Here we performed direct sequencing, histological characterization, and functional studies in a cohort of families with autosomal dominant FSGS. We detected a novel mutation in exon 6 of the INF2 gene outside of the exon 2-4 candidate region used for rapid diagnosis of autosomal dominant FSGS. This new mutation is predicted to alter a highly conserved amino-acid residue within the 17th alpha-helix of the diaphanous inhibitory domain of the protein. A long-term follow-up of this family indicated that all patients were diagnosed in adulthood, as opposed to early childhood, and progression to end-stage renal disease was at different times without clinical or electrodiagnostic evidence of neuropathy. Thus, this novel mutation in INF2 linked to nonsyndromic FSGS indicates the necessity for full gene sequencing if no mutation is found in the current rapid-screen region of the gene. 2012 International Society of Nephrology

    A HaloTag-TEV genetic cassette for mechanical phenotyping of proteins from tissues

    Get PDF
    Single-molecule methods using recombinant proteins have generated transformative hypotheses on how mechanical forces are generated and sensed in biological tissues. However, testing these mechanical hypotheses on proteins in their natural environment remains inaccesible to conventional tools. To address this limitation, here we demonstrate a mouse model carrying a HaloTag-TEV insertion in the protein titin, the main determinant of myocyte stiffness. Using our system, we specifically sever titin by digestion with TEV protease, and find that the response of muscle fibers to length changes requires mechanical transduction through titin’s intact polypeptide chain. In addition, HaloTag-based covalent tethering enables examination of titin dynamics under force using magnetic tweezers. At pulling forces < 10 pN, titin domains are recruited to the unfolded state, and produce 41.5 zJ mechanical work during refolding. Insertion of the HaloTag-TEV cassette in mechanical proteins opens opportunities to explore the molecular basis of cellular force generation, mechanosensing and mechanotransduction

    RESUMENEl trabajar en el sector de las PyMES (Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas) con un programa SPI (Software Process Improvement - Mejora de Procesos de Software) es un interés que se ha vuelto muy importante en todo el mundo. Algunos estudios han demostrado que la dificultad de aplicación de grandes modelos en un SPI es un problema en PyMEs, fundamentalmente por los grandes costes asociados a su aplicación (tiempo y recursos), especialmente en el seguimiento de los planes de acción e implantación [6]. Otro problema añadido para las PyMEs, es el largo plazo de espera necesario para la obtención de resultados [2], nuevamente demasiado para una PyME. Éste artículo propone un proceso para la Mejora de Procesos de Software para apoyar la gestión y administración de un programa de mejora pero adaptado a las características de las PyMEs, fue desarrollado en el proyecto SIMEP-SW y aplicado a dos PyMES de Software.

    Inflammatory myopathy in the context of an unusual overlapping laminopathy

    Get PDF
    Laminopathies are genetic disorders associated with alterations in nuclear envelope proteins, known as lamins. The LMNA gene encodes lamins A and C, and LMNA mutations have been linked to diseases involving fat (type 2 familial partial lipodystrophy [FPLD2]), muscle (type 2 Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy [EDMD2], type 1B limb-girdle muscular dystrophy [LGMD1B], and dilated cardiomyopathy), nerves (type 2B1 Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease), and premature aging syndromes. Moreover, overlapping syndromes have been reported. This study aimed to determine the genetic basis of an overlapping syndrome in a patient with heart disease, myopathy, and features of lipodystrophy, combined with severe metabolic syndrome. We evaluated a 54-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic hypercortisolism (endogenous and exogenous), and a history of cured adrenal Cushing syndrome. The patient presented with a complex disorder, including metabolic syndrome associated with mild partial lipodystrophy (Köbberling-like); mild hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with Wolff–Parkinson– White syndrome and atrial fibrillation; and limb-girdle inflammatory myopathy. Mutational analysis of the LMNA gene showed a heterozygous c.1634G>A (p.R545H) variant in exon 10 of LMNA. This variant has previously been independently associated with FPLD2, EDMD2, LGMD1B, and heart disease. We describe a new, LMNA-associated, complex overlapping syndrome in which fat, muscle, and cardiac disturbances are related to a p.R545H variant.This work was funded by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (grant number: PI081449) and the European Regional Development Fund, FEDER.
