Crystalline Nanorods as Possible Templates for the Synthesis of Amorphous Biosilica during Spicule Formation in Demospongiae
No full textHigh-resolution microscopy shows that during the initial stages of demosponge spicule formation, a primordial crystalline structure is formed within the axial filament. The recently developed electron diffraction tomography technique reveals that the nanorods have a layered structure that matches smectitic phyllosilicates. These intracellular nanorods have been considered as precursors of mature spicules. RI Kolb, Ute/A-2642-2011; Natalio, Filipe/D-4417-2011; Mugnaioli, Enrico/E-6237-201

Nuevos fragmentos del Éxodo griego (Ms. Gr. Bibl. f. 4 [P])
No full textPublication of the unedited Ms. Gr. Bibl. f. 4 (P) containing Ex. 9, I. 2. 6-8. 10. 11. 13. 14, with palaeographical commentary and discussion on its insertion in the Septuagint text history. The authors maintain that it belongs to a revision oi the Septuagint implying on one side an approach to the original hebrew and on the other side stylistic modifications. This revision could be parahexaplaric and perhaps prehexaplaric.Peer reviewe

Silicatein-mediated incorporation of titanium into spicules from the demosponge Suberites domuncula
No full textPrimmorphs (a three-dimensional sponge primary cell culture system) have been revealed to be a cell/tissue nano-factory for the production of tailor-made hybrid nanostructures. Growth of primmorphs is stimulated by the presence of a titanium alkoxide precursor tolerating titania (TiO(2)) concentrations up to 250 mu M. The presence and activity of silicatein in primmorphs has been analyzed by gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. Results of studies by scanning transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy have revealed silica and titania to be co-localized on nanosized spicules. Our findings suggest that the incorporation of titania into the nanosized spicule is enzymatically mediated via active silicatein in an orchestrated mechanism.

Paul E. Kahle y Federico Pérez Castro: los orígenes de la Escuela de Crítica Textual Bíblica de Madrid
No full text[EN] We have frequently been asked about the origins of the Madrid School of Biblical Text Criticism. We have limited the content of this paper to Masoretic studies. Research into the files of the former Instituto Arias Montano of the CSIC disclosed a series of unedited letters between Professors Kahle and Pérez Castro; a paper by F. Pérez Castro and F. Cantera Burgos on “Prof. Paul E. Kahle y los estudios de crítica textual bíblica en España,” and a description by F. Pérez Castro of the first project to edit the Cairo Codex of the Prophets. Through these materials we can trace the main steps of the relationship between these two relevant scholars and the role that such a relationship played in the origin and late development of these studies in Madrid.[ES] Paul E. Kahle y Federico Pérez Castro: los orígenes de la escuela de crítica textual bíblica de Madrid.— A menudo se nos ha preguntado por los orígenes de la escuela de crítica textual bíblica de Madrid. Hemos limitado el contenido de este artículo a los estudios masoréticos. Investigando en los archivos del antiguo Instituto Arias Montano del CSIC hemos encontrado una colección de cartas inéditas entre los Profesores Kahle y Pérez Castro; un artículo escrito por F. Pérez Castro y F. Cantera Burgos titulado «Prof. Paul E. Kahle y los estudios de crítica textual bíblica en España», y la descripción hecha por Pérez Castro del primer proyecto para editar el Códice de Profetas de El Cairo. Gracias a estos testimonios hemos podido documentar las principales fases de la relación entre estos dos eminentes profesores y el papel que tal relación desempeñó en el origen y posterior desarrollo de estos estudios en Madrid.Peer reviewe
'De los nombres de Cristo' de Fray Luis de León y de 'Arcano Sermone' de Arias Montano
No full textPonencia leída en el seminario «Fray Luis de León», organizado por la Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo y la Biblioteca Menéndez Pelayo de Santander, julio de 1987.[EN] More than half a century ago P. Sainz Rodriguez alluded to the possible influence
of Arias Mantano's De Arcano sermone on Fray Luis de León's De los Nombres de
Cristo. Subsequently, F. Cantera and B. Rekers recognized said influence without
adding new information in that respect. The present author analyses in detail both
treatises and concludes that it is not possible to prove a literary dependency on Fray
Luis's behalf regarding Arias Montano's work. Nevertheless, he sustains that one of
the fundamental keys for understanding Fray Luis de León's treatise is the Christian
Cabala which appeared among the Spanish converts in the 14th and 15th centuries
and became very popular among the refined circles during the Renaissance. Fray
Luis shares with many Hebrew scholars of the 16th century an idea of the Hebrew
language and the names of God and techniques of exegesis which bring him nearer
to the reasaning of the Christian cabalists. Many of the argurnents and exegesis of De
los Nombres de Cristo can only be understood against this background.[ES] Hace más de medio siglo que P. Sainz Rodríguez aludía al posible influjo del De
arcano sermone de Arias Montano en De los nombres de Cristo de Fray Luis de León.
Posteriormente F. Cantera y B. Rekers admitieron dicho influjo sin añadir nuevos
datos. El autor analiza minuciosamente ambos tratados y concluye que no se puede
probar una dependencia literaria de Fray Luis con relación a la obra de Arias
Montano. No obstante, mantiene que una de las daves fundamentales para comprender
el tratado de Fray Luis de León es la Cábala cristiana, que se inicia en los
circulas de los conversos españoles de los siglos XIV y XV, y se pone de moda entre
los espíritus cultivadas del Renacimiento. Fray Luis comparte con muchos hebraístas
del siglo XVI una concepción de la lengua hebrea y de los nombres de Dios y unas
técnicas exegéticas que le aproximan a los razonamientos de los cabalistas cristianos.
Y sólo sobre este trasfondo se entienden muchos de los argumentos y exégesis de De
los nombres de Cristo.Peer reviewe
Enzyme-Mediated Deposition of a TiO2 Coating onto Biofunctionalized WS2 Chalcogenide Nanotubes
No full textA chemically specific and facile method for the biofunctionalization of WS2 nanotubes (NT-WS2) is reported. The covalent modification strategy is based on the affinity of the nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) side chain, which serves as a ligand for the surface binding to NT-WS2 and simultaneously as an anchor group for the binding of His-tagged proteins to the polymer backbone. The polymer functionalized WS2 nanotubes can be solubilized either in water or organic solvents; they are stable for at least one week. The probes were characterized by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The immobilization of silicatein, a hydrolytic protein encountered in marine sponges, was visualized by scanning force microscopy (SFM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The formation of the biotitania coating mediated by the immobilized silicatein onto the surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
