Despite its being the first testimony of Chaucer’s genius, the interest of modern criticism in the Romaunt has mainly focused on the issue of authorship, whereas the efforts to assess this text as a translation have been limited both in…

In the retina, amacrine cells modulate the transfer of information from bipolar to ganglion cells. The nature of the modulation depends on the synaptic input and the membrane properties of the cells. In the retina of white bass, we identified…

Ground squirrel retinas were immunostained with antibodies against calcium binding proteins (CBPs) and classical neurotransmitters in order to describe neuronal phenotypes in a diurnal mammalian retina and to then compare these neurons with those of more commonly studied nocturnal retinas…

We have examined amacrine cells that are calretinin-immunoreactive (-IR) in the macaque monkey retina with the aim of classifying them into morphological and functional subtypes. There are calretinin-IR cells in the fovea and throughout the retina. Their highest density is…

Information systems outsourcing is a constantly growing practice in all sorts of organisations. This paper analyses the level of information systems outsourcing at Spanish public universities. It also means to determine if factors such as the size, both of universities…

The electrochemical oxidation of aniline and p-aminodiphenylamine (ADPA) was carried out in a phosphate buffer solution at pH 5. Cyclic voltammetry and ‘‘in situ’’ FTIR spectroscopy were combined to study the redox behavior of the oxidation products. When ADPA is…

The classical problem of the deflection of a cantilever beam of linear elastic material, under the action of an external vertical concentrated load at the free end, is analysed. We present the differential equation governing the behaviour of this physical…

A procedure to determine the best image range of distances that can be obtained from an aphakic eye is presented. Corneal surfaces are calculated from videokeratographic data. Light distributions at different distances inside the eye are calculated with a near-field…

Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. Using Kogelnik's coupled-wave theory we shall obtain information about the…
