Summary: The thesis examines the proposed development of the system of pensions conceived by the Academy of San Fernando or the monarch to the disciples of Fine Arts completed his apprenticeship in Italy. From the mid-eighteenth century many young Spaniards their way to Rome for this purpose, since in the capital Pontifical was shaping a new artistic taste that recovered models of Antigà ¼ age, neoclassicism, which attracted the city to the best artists from Europe . For architects travel to Rome was one of the most important experiences of his carera thus putting them in direct contact with the world of ancient ruins, monuments grecorromanos, besides enabling integrated into academic environments known to the Romans and antique and most famous archaeologists at the time. To demonstrate their progress annually pensioners sent to the Academy works for his specialty: sculptures, prints of paintings of the great masters Renaissance, and architectural drawings of Roman relics. Thanks to these shipments, and documentation of existing pensioners architecture, we can delve into the history of prominent monuments in the city of the Tiber, knowing the academic interests of the moment and archetypes constructive and ever analyzed. Back in Spain, pensioners applied on their own projects that they had extracted the lesson of the Antigà ¼ age, a result of which possess in Madrid buildings as the Museo del Prado (the work of Juan de Villanueva), or which houses the National Library and the National Archaeological Museum (Francis Jareño). If the eighteenth century architects Rome only studying the classical monuments, the transformation of architectural thought in the nineteenth led to new generations of pensioners pay more attention to the medieval and Renaissance buildings, whether in the value of Antigà ¼ age remained in effect until the early twentieth century.

Summary: The History of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando was known episode of the dam from a boat English in the eighteenth century, which came a few sculptures and works of art now on display in the museum of this institution. Sometimes this source had been published to catalog the marble chandeliers, the polls cinerarias deposited in the National Archaeological Museum and one of the tables. But never had carefully studied the issue, perhaps by the paucity of documentary information that apparently existed. An analysis of some of the works of art and antiques that this boat was carrying flag English called Wstmorland, has been the subject of this dissertation, whose research has led me to prove that we are faced with a unique example in the history of what he had to be trafficking in works of art and antiques from Rome in the mid-eighteenth century for the British market collectors. The circumstances in which the ship was captured, and especially the fact that in Spain remain an important collection of works of art and antiques in principle to prominent members of the British aristocracy and the Royal House of that country, is arguably the main reason for that official documents in the archives Spaniards bearing a discreet silence on this collection. He stressed the importance of exchanging emerging innovative ideas existing in Italy in the second half of the eighteenth century that thanks to this unique episode, has left imprint on the collections of institutions such as the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, The Archaeological Museum Nacional, the Prado Museum, or different sites Interests. With this research we have tried to provide a unique episode to a broad topic such as the Grand Tour, with the intention of discovering a new field of research on all those works of art from trade and antiques that were lost in some of the countless dams boats that were carried out in connection with the ongoing war in the Mediterranean between the various warring powers. This work represents a new contribution in relation to a new cultural phenomenon, the acquisition of reminders during the journey instruction Europe and especially Italy as the birthplace of Antigà ¼ age and art par excellence. Thanks to the discovery of this collection, Spain, which had been kept outside the phenomenon of the Grand Tour, is introduced in this issue monopolized by the Anglo-Saxon history and, what is more interesting, opens up new lines of inquiry and questions about the phenomenon first tourist Europe.

Summary: In order to overexpress maize transglutaminase in a heterologous system, the first cloned plant transglutaminase from maize (TGZ) cDNAs were subcloned into the E. coli expression vector pET28. Four constructs (TGZ4, TGZ15, TGZ9 and TGZ29) with different sequence characteristics were obtained. The overexpression of the recombinant TGZ4p in E. coli BL21 DE3 cells cultured under standard conditions produced active protein in the soluble fraction, however the majority of protein was found in inclusion bodies. The overexpressed TGZ proteins were identified as Zea mays TG by MALDI-TOF analysis. With respect to the different constructs, those lacking the chloroplast transit peptide signal yielded more TGZp. Two synthetic culture media (M9+glucose and M9+glycerine) with the same carbon quantity as the reference medium LB, were designated. The µ values and biomass concentrations obtained in minimal media were lower than LB medium in Erlenmeyer flasks. Monod equation parameters for E. coli BL21 DE3 harbouring the TGZ4 gene cultured in M9+ glucose were evaluated. Bioreactor experiments in batch mode (5L) showed that IPTG induction and temperature downshift did no stop cellular growth, however decreased the cellular growth rate. After the analysis of recombinant protein production along the culture time, the maximum TGZ4p accumulation was detected after 2 to 3 hours of IPTG induction. Bath and FPLC denatured purification, obtained recombinant protein of higher purity and quantity than native purification. TGZ4p and E. coli co-purified proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF analysis. The Peptide Mass Fingerprint (PMF) analysis covered 71% of the TGZ4p sequence. After selection of the adequate TGZ4p refolding buffer, functional TGZp was obtained. Purified TGZ4p was also used to obtain specific TGZ4p polyclonal antibodies which quantitatively give more signal than the T7·tag and Pep antibodies for Transmission Electron Microscopy TGZ4p immunolocalization assays. These studies confirmed the majority of recombinant protein localization in the inclusion bodies.

Summary: The region studied, called Furrow Iberian, has been defined and divided terms paleogeográfico observed that includes platforms External Navarro-Cántabra, Internal Castellana, during peak transgresivos, Levantina; sectors Norcastellano and Central areas and Northern Ebro in the south of the Ebro, Demand and Guadarrama. The Cenomaniense upper and Turoniense below has been divided into 7 zones and 12 subzones correlated with units bioestratigráficas standard. In the first subpiso have been established areas Eucalycoceras rowei, with the sub-Eucalycoceras rowei and Calycoceras (Calycoceras) naviculare; of Neolobites vibrayeanus, with the sub-Neolobites vibrayeanus and Metoicoceras mosbyense; of Metoicoceras geslinianum, with the subregions Metoicoceras geslinianum and Vascoceras gamai and Spathites (Jeanrogericeras) subconciliatus. In Turoniense below have been identified areas Choffacticeras (Choffaticeras) quaasi of Spathites (Ingredella) malladae, with the sub-Spathites (Ingridella) malladae and Choffacticeras (Leoniceras) luciae and Mammites nodosoides with zubzonas of Mammites nodosoides and of Wrightoceras munieri. The first appearance of Kamerunoceras turoniense has allowed recognize the basis of Turoniense half. Among the cephalopods obtained have been identified 9 families, which include 25 genera and 60 species, and has inferred the existence of different phylogenetic relationships. The phylogenetic history of cephalopods have identified differential 20 evolutionary stages, which have been grouped into 9 associations cephalopods. These associations cephalopods have been integrated into 2 cycles paleontological principal, and in turn, the second of which has been divided into 2 cycles paleontological side, they all coincide with cycles eustáticos and deposit sequences described previously by other authors. In each of these cycles has been inferred paleontological development phenomena extinction cephalopods media someros and survival of pelagic environments or deep colonization of new spaces, and to adapt to them caused, in turn, intervals pelagic or deep colonization of new spaces, and adaptation to the same induced successively at intervals of low sea level, and rising high, although some of them also appreciate alterations produced by intervals hipóxicos and dynamics own species. The terminology applied to natuiloideso and ammmonoideos postriásticos in Spanish has been revised, noting that consists of more than 350 words, as outlined at the end dela this dissertation.
