Comparison of the personality traits of male and female BASE jumpers

BASE jumping is an extreme adventure sport which consists of jumping from a fixed object with specially adapted parachutes. A few studies of the personality of BASE jumpers have been conducted, but little is known about how the women in this sport compare to the men. The purpose of this study is to compare the personality traits among a sample of men and women who are experienced BASE jumpers, as this provides an interesting and important opportunity to better understand the motivation for extreme sports. Eighty-three participants completed the Temperament and Character Inventory the day before the jump at the New River Gorge Bridge Day BASE Jumping event, West Virginia, United States. The sample included 64 men and 19 women. Results show that men and women BASE jumpers shared similar personality traits both in terms of temperament and character, except for the character trait of cooperativeness on which women scored higher than men. This suggests that the basic drive for participation in extreme sports is self-regulation of personal emotional drives and needs for self-actualization, rather than to oppose social pressure or cultural bias against female participation. These findings are discussed in relation with other studies conducted among extreme athletes and in terms of congruence between personality and activity

Nonequlibrium particle and energy currents in quantum chains connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs

We propose a model of nonequilibrium quantum transport of particles and energy in a system connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs (meso-reservoir). The meso-reservoirs are in turn thermalized to prescribed temperatures and chemical potentials by a simple dissipative mechanism described by the Lindblad equation. As an example, we study transport in monoatomic and diatomic chains of non-interacting spinless fermions. We show numerically the breakdown of the Onsager reciprocity relation due to the dissipative terms of the model.Comment: 5pages, 4 figure

San Sebastián de Silos: la iglesia dedicada o consagrada en torno a 1088 a través de la documentación y los restos arqueológicos

Se plantea la reconstrucción de la iglesia dedicada o consagrada hacia 1088. Contamos con la documentación existente en el monasterio, ante todo de los siglos XVI y XVIII e informaciones de monjes silenses del siglo XVII. Junto a lo anterior hacemos una relectura de los restos arqueológicos, puestos en relación, ante todo, con la información de las Memoriae Silenses. Se plantea la fecha de dicho templo y su relación con el plan del monasterio románico

Nicolás Gómez iluminador de los libros de Isabel la Católica

Nicolás Gómez, que trabajó en la segunda mitad del siglo XV para la Catedral de Sevilla miniando un buen número de sus libros de coro y para el Monasterio de San Isidoro del Campo realizando algunas de sus pinturas murales, es además el iluminador de algunos de los libros de Isabel la Católica de los que han sido localizados dos en la Biblioteca del Monasterio de El Escorial
