Los ballesteros del rey, los arneses empeñados y otros nuevos documentos sobre Pero Niño

RESUMENSe presentan cuatro documentos hasta ahora desconocidos sobre Pero Niño, datados entre 1404 y 1431, que arrojan luz sobre algunos episodios poco detallados o silenciados en El Victorial, la biografía caballeresca que le dedicó Gutierre Díaz de Games.PALABRAS CLAVEPero Niño, Gutierre Díaz de Games, El Victorial.ABSTRACTThis study presents four unknown documents about Pero Niño, dated between 1404 and 1431. They shed light on several episodes that are undetailed or silenced in El Victorial, the chivalric biography written by Gutierre Díaz de Games.KEYWORDSPero Niño, Gutierre Díaz de Games, El Victorial

A vueltas con la Crónica del rey don Rodrigo

Se discute la problemática del género literario de la Crónica sarracina desde una perspectiva peninsular y europea, en la órbita de un nuevo tipo de ficción, ligado a la historia y a un incipiente realismo que se va imponiendo a lo largo de la primera mitad del siglo XV. Además, se revelan nuevos pasajes retomados por Pedro de Corral de la versión catalana de las tragedias de Séneca y del Libro de los doce sabios

How triathletes mount their bikes after first transition (T1). A proposal of classification

A proposal is submit for the classification referring to the different ways in which triathletes mount their bikes to start pedalling. This action happens at the end of the transition area (T1) after having gone across on foot, with the bikes at their side, or, led across by hand, in a specific way (Fernández, Romero, Merino and April, 2015). These are unique aspects of this sport, compared to other sports in which a bike is also used. The purpose of this research was concentrates in describing and classifying the motor behaviours that occur at the end of the transition area, in front of the “judge’s line”. This study was bassed on participants of 3 Spanish Elite Championships of different distances (407 triathletes). It was filmed in the moment when they picked up their bikes, passed through the transition area and mounted their bikes. Eleven different ways were discovered on how to mount a bike when passing the judge’s line.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tec

Nitrogen metabolism and gene expression landscape in maritime pine

This work was supported by the ProCoGen grant (FP7-KBBE-2011-5) and by the MicroNUpE grant (BIO2015-73512-JIN).Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) is one the most important conifer species in the southwestern Mediterranean region because of its economic and environmental potential. For this reason, a work program in functional genomics has been developed in the frame of the ProCoGen project. One objective was to complete the knowledge about P. pinaster transcriptome with the tissue-specific localization of the gene expression of the low accumulated transcripts in sharper regions (Cañas et al. 2017). In order to reach these objectives total RNA was obtained from isolated tissues through laser capture microdissection (LCM). Due to the limiting amount from these extracts, the RNA samples were reverse-transcribed and the resultant cDNA amplified using our CRA+ protocol (Cañas et al. 2014). The obtained reads were assembled to improve the previous reference transcriptome. Reads were mapped against this transcriptome and the read accounts analyzed in order to found gene co-expression networks using the WGCNA software. These results have allowed us the characterization of nitrogen metabolism in maritime pine during the seedling stage stablishing relationships between the different components. This include the identification of new genes with low or very localized expression as occurred for the PpGS1c gene encoding a new cytosolic glutamine synthetase. From this starting point, we are developing a new project, MicroNUpE, to identify and study the genes involved in ammonium uptake and regulation in different root tissues that will be isolated through LCM.

Reflexions al voltant de la proposta lingüística de Josep Nebot i Pérez

This article tries to outline the general background of grammatical studies in Catalan by the end of the 19th century and beginnings of the 20th century, while phocusing on the work of the Valencian grammarian Josep Nebot i Pérez, his linguistic ideology and his interesting proposal of producing two different set of grammars: a popular one, and another addressed to the more cultivated reader
