Otro Cervantes en Borges: los capítulos invisibles de Pierre Menard
No full textIn more than ninety of his works, Borges refers to Cervantes directly, and, in numerous others, he implicitly alludes to the father of the modern novel. Focusing on “Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote”, this essay analyzes, on the one hand, the games of self-representation hidden in Pierre Menard's visible works, and, on the other hand, Menard's (and therefore, Borges's) decision to attempt to reproduce chapters IX, XXII, and XXXVIII of the first part of Don Quixote. It is argued that these chapters possess particular significance, not only for Cervantes's novel but also for Borges's own literary project as well as for that of his fictional author. Lastly, three of Borges' most Cervantine short stories, “Death and the Compass”, “The South”, and “The Congress”, are briefly discussed.En más de noventa obras suyas, Borges se refiere de forma explícita a Cervantes, y en otras tantas hace alusión de manera implícita al padre de la novela moderna. Centrándose en “Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote”, este ensayo analiza por un lado los juegos de auto-representación ocultos en la obra visible de Pierre Menard, y, por el otro, la decisión de Menard (y por ende, de Borges) de intentar reproducir los capítulos IX, XXII y XXXVIII de la primera parte del Quijote. Según se argumenta, éstos poseen un significado especial, no sólo para la obra de Cervantes, sino también para el proyecto literario de Borges, así como para el de su autor ficcional. Por último, se comentan brevemente tres de los relatos más cervantinos de Borges: “La muerte y la brújula”, “El sur” y “El congreso”
Predicting Menard Modulus using Dynamic Compaction Induced Subsidence
No full textPrevious research by Varaksin et al. suggests that it is possible to develop a relation between strain and increase in Menard Pressuremeter (PMT) limit pressure, whereas limit pressure will double every time the ground is strained strain 3%. Later, Hamidi et al. proposed a new method to predict the limit pressure profile after dynamic compaction with the assumption that induced ground subsidence is the accumulation of vertical strains according to a Rayleigh distribution. Comparison of the geometric mean of predicted and post improvement measured limit pressure values suggest that this method of calculation is quite reliable. Noting that there are also established empirical relationships between the limit pressure and Menard Modulus, it would seem rational that a similar method can be used to predict the Menard modulus. This has been studied in this paper and it can be observed that for practical purposes, this method is able to provide Menard Modulus values of the correct magnitude
Enzymatic hydrolysis of nitriles by an engineered nitrile hydratase (papain Gln19Glu) in aqueous-organic media
No full textA mutant of the cysteine protease papain, displaying nitrile hydratase and amidase activities, was expressed in Pichia pastoris and used for the hydrolysis of peptide nitriles in aqueous-organic media. The rate of hydrolysis of these nitriles is lowered by increasing acetone concentration. This is caused by an increase of the Michaelis constant, and a variation of Vmax proportional to the amount of water in the mixture. The hydrolysis of the amide is less affected by the increase in co-solvent, which results in lower accumulation of this intermediate product. With the peptide nitrile tested, high nitrile concentrations could be used to promote the production of the amide and prevent its hydrolysis to the acid by diminishing the relative rate of amide hydrolysis. A number of non-peptidyl nitriles were also tested as potential substrates but activity was detected for only one compound with structural resemblance to peptide nitriles. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
Adult mortality and probable cause of death in rural northern Malawi in the era of HIV treatment.
No full textOBJECTIVES: Developing countries are undergoing demographic transition with a shift from high mortality caused by communicable diseases (CD) to lower mortality rates caused by non-communicable diseases (NCD). HIV/AIDS has disrupted this trend in sub-Saharan Africa. However, in recent years, HIV-associated mortality has been reduced with the introduction of widely available antiretroviral therapy (ART). Side effects of ART may lead to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, raising the prospects of an accelerated transition towards NCD as the primary cause of death. We report population-based data to investigate changes in cause of death owing to NCD during the first 4 years after introduction of HIV treatment. METHODS: We analysed data from a demographic surveillance system in Karonga district, Malawi, from September 2004 to August 2009. ART was introduced in mid-2005. Clinician review of verbal autopsies conducted 2-6 weeks after a death was used to establish a single principal cause of death. RESULTS: Over the entire period, there were 905 deaths, AIDS death rate fell from 505 to 160/100,000 person-years, and there was no evidence of an increase in NCD rates. The proportion of total deaths attributable to AIDS fell from 42% to 17% and from NCD increased from 37% to 49%. DISCUSSION: Our findings show that 4 years after the introduction of ART into HIV care in Karonga district, all-cause mortality has fallen dramatically, with no evidence of an increase in deaths owing to NCD
