El espacio como instrumento de formación. Arquitectura como estrategia educativa aplicado a un Jardín Infantil

Artículo de GradoEl proyecto se desarrolla como ejercicio académico en un contexto real donde se propone adoptar y entender la transformación de la idea de diseño en las instalaciones educacionales en el país con base en la petición que la secretaria de educación le hizo a el Arq. Frank Locker, donde el arquitecto debe establecer criterios de diseño en búsqueda de cambiar la forma de aprender, todo esto basado en la relación entre el tipo de educación y la arquitectura como lugar de aprendizaje, enfocado en lo que la educación Colombiana busca.1.

One Fungus = One Name: DNA and fungal nomenclature twenty years after PCR

Some fungi with pleomorphic life-cycles still bear two names despite more than 20 years of molecular phylogenetics that have shown how to merge the two systems of classification, the asexual “Deuteromycota” and the sexual “Eumycota”. Mycologists have begun to flout nomenclatorial regulations and use just one name for one fungus. The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) must change to accommodate current practice or become irrelevant. The fundamental difference in the size of fungi and plants had a role in the origin of dual nomenclature and continues to hinder the development of an ICBN that fully accommodates microscopic fungi. A nomenclatorial crisis also looms due to environmental sequencing, which suggests that most fungi will have to be named without a physical specimen. Mycology may need to break from the ICBN and create a MycoCode to account for fungi known only from environmental nucleic acid sequence (i.e. ENAS fungi)

Bem-morar em São Paulo, 1880-1910: Ramos de Azevedo e os modelos europeus

Domestic architecture achieves a great impulse in the second half of XIXth-century. From Europe to the whole world, models are conformed to the new social order and spread as industrialization takes command. Dwelling becomes the main concern among architects. New concepts are developed for the ideal house for 011 social strata: working class, middle-class, bourgeoisie. This essay traces the introduction in São Paulo of European formal patterns and principies Ihygiene, salubrity, comfort, social and domestic rites, social visibility) through the activity of F. P. Ramos de Azevedo! 1851-19281. The main projects he conceived for the local bourgeoisie are analysed.A arquitetura doméstica tem um grande impulso no século XIX. Da Europa são difundidos, para todo mundo, os modelos conformados à nova ordem social e à industrialização. A residência se transforma numa preocupação central dos arquitetos. Desenvolvem-se novos conceitos para casa ideal para todas as camadas sociais: operários, classe média, burguesia. Este artigo retrata, em São Paulo, a introdução de padrões formais e princípios (de higiene, salubridade, conforto, ritos sociais e domésticos, as aparências). a partir da atividade de F. P. Ramos de Azevedo (1851-19201. Analisam-se os principais projetos que ele desenvolveu para a burguesia local

From tradition to practice: bringing up-to-date the holistic approach of the masters of the past through digital tools

The aim of this paper is to compare the increased value of the new digital tools in supporting multidisciplinary knowledge; this similarly regards the design process conceived by the “masters” of the past, trying to describe what recent graphic representation is and how it was ostensibly handled in the past: particular attention will be devoted to the relationship between classic 2D drawings with respect to 3D modeling tools, enriched by heterogeneous data of a fully integrated approach. Moreover, a broader look at the construction process and the actors involved will focus on the separation between the design conception phase and the design development stage, given the role of Information Technology in documenting our cultural heritage as well as managing integrated building processes

Generation of a ribosomal DNA probe by PCR and its use in identification of fungi within the Gaeumannomyces-Phialophora complex

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify a ribosomal DNA fragment from Gaewnannomyces graminis. This fragment was labelled and tested for its usefulness as a probe in restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) studies of fungi within the Gaeumannomyces-Phialophora complex. When the probe was hybridized to EcoRI digests of DNA from these fungi, there were consistent band pattern differences between the three varieties of G. graminis (tritici, avenae and graminis). This method of probe production, which is more rapid than many others currently used, has considerable potential for use in the identification of these organisms, and may also be applicable to other groups of fungi.Peer reviewe
