Evaluación de métodos para la elaboración de sidra de hielo
Get PDFLa sidra de hielo es una bebida dulce
con elevada graduación alcohólica originaria
de Quebec (Canadá), cuyo clima
único, con temperaturas extremas en invierno,
es clave para obtener mostos enriquecidos
en sólidos solubles (≤ 30 ºBrix)
mediante congelación natural.
La política de diversificación de productos
y la búsqueda de nuevos nichos
de mercado han propiciado el interés del
sector sidrero asturiano por la elaboración
de este tipo de sidras. Para garantizar la
tipicidad, calidad y reproducibilidad de los
productos es necesario optimizar los factores
más relevantes del proceso de elaboración:
variedades de manzana, método
de enriquecimiento de los mostos y cepas
de levaduras responsables de la fermentación.
En este artículo se describen las particularidades
de producción y las características
de mostos enriquecidos y sus correspondientes
sidras de hielo en función
del sistema de extracción utilizado en su
elaboración
Carbon nitride assisted chemoselective C–H bond photo-oxidation of alkylphenolethoxylates in water medium
Get PDFThe unprecedented ability of g-C3N4 to chemoselectively photo-oxidise the methyl group of 2-(4-methylphenoxy)ethanol instead of the easily oxidised oxyethanol fragment has been demonstrated. When g-C3N4 is treated with H2O2, its selectivity enhances due to the blocking of surface sites responsible for the adsorption and the subsequent oxidation of the oxyethanol substituent
Sectoral H-plane SBFSS-SIW Horn Antenna
Get PDFA sectoral H-plane SIW horn antenna based on
Stop-Band Frequency Selective Surface Substrate Integrated
Waveguide technology is presented. The FSS operating in Stop-
Band that replace the original metal conductor plates of the
horn, increase the versatility of these structures, by making the
direct integration of biased active and passive devices on its
surface possible. The return losses, the radiation patterns and
the E-field distribution on the surface of the proposed antenna
have been compared with those of its counterpart SIW horn,
to demonstrated that the new antenna can be used in the same
role as the SIW horn with the advantage of having electrically
isolated pads from ground on its surface.This work was supported by the Gobierno del Principado de

Implementing low power consumption in standby mode in the case of power supplies with power factor correction
Get PDFThis work analyzes different options to implement low power consumption in Switching Mode Power Supplies (SMPSs) with Power Factor Correction (PFC) when they are in standby mode. The standard SMPSs for power levels higher than 100 W are made up of two stages: a classical PFC stage based on a Boost Converter operating in the Continuous Conduction Mode and a second stage based on any type of isolated DC-DC converter. The value of the resistive sensors needed by the PFC control stage determines a standby consumption higher than 0.5 W if the power supply has to be designed to operate in the Universal Range of line voltages. This fact makes it very difficult to comply with European Ecodesign Regulations. To overcome this problem, several solutions are proposed and analyzed in this paper, the most promising being implemented in a real SMPS prototype.This work has been supported by the Spanish Government under Project MINECO-13-DPI2013-47176-C2-2-R and the Principality of Asturias under the grant “Severo Ochoa” BP14-85 and by the Project FC-15-GRUPIN14-143 and by European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grants.2017 Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC
Un approccio alla grammatica italo-spagnola attraverso la traduzione: L’uso del congiuntivo
Get PDFThe approach to Italian-Spanish tradition through the translation: use of the journal. The subjunctive is the most complex mood in both the Spanish and the Italian languages. Currently, there are many Italians who use the indicative mood at a colloquial level instead of the subjunctive one (something that does not happen in Spanish, thus it
has more vivacity and it is still frequently used). In fact, a future subjunctive form, which was commonly used during the Medieval Period but nowadays has little functional efficiency,has been preserved. This article is aimed at showing the similarities and the differences between these two languages during the Early Middle Ages through the analysis of several chapters of Boccaccio’s Decameron in its first translation to Spanish. To an extent, these resemblances and differentiations could be extrapolated to the present day
Hipometilación del gen de la PTH por elevado fósforo de la dieta: un posible agravante epigenético de la severidad del hiperparatiroidismo secundario en la enfermedad renal crónica / Hypomethylation of the PTH gene due to high dietary phosphorus: A possible aggravating of severe secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal failure
No full textIntroduction: Hyperphosphataemia aggravates both parathyroid hyperplasia and PTH secretion in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hyperplasia is associated with decreases in calcium receptor expression (CaSR), vitamin D (VDR) and α-Klotho, inducing resistance of the parathyroid gland to respond both to treatment and to increases in FGF23. This study examined the possible epigenetic contributions of raised phosphorus to aggravate secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with (CRD). Material and methods: The degree of methylation was compared by pyrosequencing of bisulfite in CpG-rich sequences of the promoters in the CaSR, VDR, PTH and α-Klotho genes in parathyroid gland DNA from uremic rats fed a normal and high phosphorus diet. Results: The diet rich in phosphorus increased PTH expression and caused a marked reduction in the degree of methylation in the promoter of the PTH gene. In contrast, the promoter regions of the CaSR, VDR and α-Klotho genes did not show significant differences in the percentage of methylation between the two groups of rats. Thus, it was not the determining mechanism for the decrease of the expression of these genes observed in the SHPT. Conclusions: The epigenetic alterations induced by the phosphorus rich diet in SHPT, particularly the PTH gene hypomethylation, could contribute to the increases that occur in the synthesis and secretion of this hormone. The identification of the mechanisms involved would allow better treatments for SHPT to be designed in the early stages of CKD.This work was supported by

La mayor hiperplasia se asocia a descensos en la expresión génica de los receptores de calcio (CaSR), vitamina D (VDR) y también de α-Klotho, induciendo resistencia de la glándula paratiroides para responder tanto al tratamiento como a los aumentos de FGF23. Este estudio examinó la posible contribución epigenética del fósforo elevado en agravar el hiperparatiroidismo secundario (HPTS). Material y métodos: Se comparó el grado de metilación mediante pirosecuenciación de bisulfito en secuencias ricas en CpG de los promotores en los genes del CaSR, VDR, PTH y α-Klotho en ADN de glándulas paratiroides de ratas urémicas alimentadas con dieta con contenido normal y elevado en fósforo. Resultados: La dieta rica en fósforo incrementó la expresión de PTH y causó una marcada reducción del grado de metilación en el promotor del gen de PTH. En cambio, las regiones promotoras de los genes de CaSR, VDR y α-Klotho no mostraron diferencias significativas en el porcentaje de metilación entre ambos grupos de ratas, no siendo, por tanto, éste el mecanismo determinante de la disminución de la expresión de estos genes observada en el HPTS. Conclusiones: Las alteraciones epigenéticas inducidas por la dieta rica en fósforo en el HPTS, en particular la hipometilación del gen de la PTH, podrían contribuir a los aumentos que se producen en la síntesis y secreción de esta hormona. La identificación de los mecanismos implicados permitiría diseñar mejores tratamientos para el HPTS en fases tempranas de la ERC
