La renovación de la palabra en el bicentenario de la Argentina : los colores de la mirada lingüística

El libro reúne trabajos en los que se exponen resultados de investigaciones presentadas por investigadores de Argentina, Chile, Brasil, España, Italia y Alemania en el XII Congreso de la Sociedad Argentina de Lingüística (SAL), Bicentenario: la renovación de la palabra, realizado en Mendoza, Argentina, entre el 6 y el 9 de abril de 2010. Las temáticas abordadas en los 167 capítulos muestran las grandes líneas de investigación que se desarrollan fundamentalmente en nuestro país, pero también en los otros países mencionados arriba, y señalan además las áreas que recién se inician, con poca tradición en nuestro país y que deberían fomentarse. Los trabajos aquí publicados se enmarcan dentro de las siguientes disciplinas y/o campos de investigación: Fonología, Sintaxis, Semántica y Pragmática, Lingüística Cognitiva, Análisis del Discurso, Psicolingüística, Adquisición de la Lengua, Sociolingüística y Dialectología, Didáctica de la lengua, Lingüística Aplicada, Lingüística Computacional, Historia de la Lengua y la Lingüística, Lenguas Aborígenes, Filosofía del Lenguaje, Lexicología y Terminología

Requerimento em frio e uniformidade de brotação de portaenxertos para macieira no Sul do Brasil.

No cultivo da macieira, em regiões de inverno ameno, é importante o conhecimento do acúmulo de horas de frio hibernal, desta forma pode-se selecionar cultivares com maior ou menor exigência para cada região produtora. O inadequado suprimento de frio afeta de forma negativa a uniformidade de brotação das plantas. Apesar da exigência em frio das principais cultivares produzidas no Sul do Brasil já serem conhecidas, pouco se sabe a respeito do requerimento de frio dos porta-enxertos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar a necessidade de acúmulo de frio para superação da dormência e a uniformidade de brotação dos porta-enxertos G.213 e M.9.(Embrapa Uva e Vinho. Documentos, 99

Anthranilate synthase subunit organization in Chromobacterium violaceum

ABSTRACT. Tryptophan is an aromatic amino acid used for protein synthesis and cellular growth. Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 uses two tryptophan molecules to synthesize violacein, a secondary me-tabolite of pharmacological interest. The genome analysis of this bacteri-um revealed that the genes trpA-F and pabA-B encode the enzymes of the tryptophan pathway in which the first reaction is the conversion of choris-mate to anthranilate by anthranilate synthase (AS), an enzyme complex. In the present study, the organization and structure of AS protein subunits from C. violaceum were analyzed using bioinformatics tools available on the Web. We showed by calculating molecular masses that AS in C. violaceum is composed of α (TrpE) and β (PabA) subunits. This is in agreement with values determined experimentally. Catalytic and regula-tory sites of the AS subunits were identified. The TrpE and PabA subunits contribute to the catalytic site while the TrpE subunit is involved in the allosteric site. Protein models for the TrpE and PabA subunits were built by restraint-based homology modeling using AS enzyme, chains A and B, from Salmonella typhimurium (PDB ID 1I1Q)

Energetic responses of head-out water immersion at different temperatures during post-exercise recovery and its consequence on anaerobic mechanical power

Purpose: While exercise recovery may be beneficial from a physiological point of view, it may be detrimental to subsequent anaerobic performance. To investigate the energetic responses of water immersion at different temperatures during post-exercise recovery and its consequences on subsequent anaerobic performance, a randomized and controlled crossover experimental design was performed with 21 trained cyclists. Method: Participants were assigned to receive three passive recovery strategies during 10 min after a Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT): control (CON: non-immersed condition), cold water immersion (CWI: 20 °C), and hot water immersion (HWI: 40 °C). Blood lactate, cardiorespiratory, and mechanical outcomes were measured during the WAnT and its recovery. Time constant (τ), asymptotic value, and area under the curve (AUC) were quantified for each physiologic parameter during recovery. After that, a second WAnT test and 10-min recovery were realized in the same session. Results: Regardless the water immersion temperature, water immersion increased τV ̇O2 (+ 18%), asymptote (V ̇O2 + 16%, V ̇CO2 + 13%, V ̇ E + 17%, HR + 16%) and AUC (V ̇O2 + 27%, V ̇CO2 + 18%, V ̇ E + 20%, HR + 25%), while decreased τHR (− 33%). There was no influence of water immersion on blood lactate parameters. HWI improved the mean power output during the second WAnT (2.2%), while the CWI decreased 2.4% (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Independent of temperature, water immersion enhanced aerobic energy recovery without modifying blood lactate recovery. However, subsequent anaerobic performance was increased only during HWI and decreased during CWI. Despite higher than in other studies, 20 °C effectively triggered physiological and performance responses. Water immersion-induced physiological changes did not predict subsequent anaerobic performance
