    Shape of ammonium chloride dendrite tips at small supersaturation

    Full text link
    We report detailed shape measurements of the tips of three-dimensional ammonium chloride dendrites grown from supersaturated aqueous solution. For growth at small supersaturation, we compare two different models: parabolic with a fourth-order correction, and power law. Neither is ideal, but the fourth-order fit appears to provide the most robust description of both the tip shape and position for this material. For that fit, the magnitude of the fourth-order coefficient is about half of the theoretically expected value.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, LaTeX; updated references; minor edits from v

    La agricultura argentina: cambios recientes, desafíos futuros y conflictos latentes

    El agro argentino, en base a su potencialidad natural y a los cambios técnico–organizacionales recientes, se ha convertido en un sector con fuerte capacidad de captar rentas internacionales de magnitud; ello replantea las formas y el sentido de las intervenciones públicas (entre ellas los impuestos al comercio exterior) en el proceso de apropiación de tales excedentes. Recientemente, el agro argentino reconfiguró la forma tradicional de producción para convertirla en una red de dueños de tierras, empresas operadoras que desarrollan la actividad, proveedores de insumos y servicios e incluso manufacturación industrial, relacionados entre sí por una amplia gama de contratos. A partir de esta organización (similar a la que sustenta parte del actual modelo industrial) y con una demanda (interna y externa) dinámica se produjo un salto tecnológico radical (semillas transgénicas, siembra directa, etc.) que duplicó la producción en unos pocos años. Ello generó –condiciones macroeconómicas mediante– un vigoroso flujo de rentas con las consecuentes tensiones en su apropiación; en este proceso aparece no sólo el Estado –a través de los impuestos al comercio exterior– sino también las múltiples empresas que conforman la red (provenientes del propio agro, los servicios, la industria y la tecnología). En un final abierto, ello pone en la agenda social el modelo de acumulación, crecimiento y desarrollo para las próximas décadas

    Learning Networks in Innovation Systems at Sector / Regional Level in Argentina: Winery and Dairy Industries

    This work studies how the set of relationships that gives place to the learning processes is established in the food industry in Argentina. A theoretical ad hoc approach is adopted, conjugating the concepts of innovation systems at sector / regional level with some context considerations like the innovative behaviour of the global and local food industry and a description of the public and private S&T in Argentina. The study is focused in two cases: the wine industry, at the Mendoza province, and the dairy products industry at the centre of the Santa Fe province, both in Argentina. While the winery industry at the province of Mendoza exports differentiated products the dairy industry, at the central basin of the province of Santa Fe, exports commodities leaving differentiated (functional) products for the domestic market. These facts determine different dynamics between them, despite of what the established set of relationships is very complex and knowledge intensive in both cases. Also, in both cases the preponderant contribution of the public institutions of science and technology as knowledge and technology source is flagged
