El teatro mendocino en el siglo XIX : escenografía, decorados y otros recursos escénicos
Durante el siglo XIX, los diarios de Mendoza casi siempre soslayaban la mención a la escenografía y otros recursos técnicos propios del escenario. Esa escasa referencia no contribuye a la reconstrucción de las puestas. Además, no existía el mismo concepto de escenografía, decoración, ambientación o pintura que en la actualidad. Los distintos tipos de espectáculos artísticos ponían el acento en la utilería, los telones de fondo y el vestuario como una forma de ambientar el espacio donde se desarrollarían. No obstante, los nombres de meritorios escenógrafos, pintores y decoradores locales hablan de una inquieta utilización de los recursos escénicos que el avance de la ciencia iba proveyendoFil: Navarrete, José Francisco.

de la leyenda al teatro. Realidad, mito e identidad cultural
El hombre de existencia real Juan Francisco Cubillos sembró un itinerario de hechos delictivos en Mendoza y sur de San Juan. Fuerzas policiales lo mataron en Los Paramillos de Uspallata, cuando contaba sólo 27 años. Inmediatamente el recuerdo popular de sus hazañas exaltó su figura con devoción religiosa. Con el tiempo se fue acrecentando su fama hasta adquirir la dimensión de leyenda o, tal vez, de mito con repercusiones que bien pudieran incidir en la identidad cultural de Mendoza. El teatro local reflejó las posibilidades estéticas del personaje en varias oportunidades, marcando un ciclo tardío de la gauchesca de sorprendente éxito tanto en lo autoral y espectacular como en la recepción.L'homme d'existence réelle Juan Francisco Cubillos a semé un itinéraire de faits criminels dans Mendoza et au sud de San Juan. Les polices l'ont tué dans Paramillos d'Uspallata, quand il elle comptait seulement 27 ans. Immédiatement, le souvenir populaire de ses prouesses a glorifié sa figure avec une dévotion religieuse. Avec le temps, sa réputation a été augmentée jusqu'à l'acquisition de la dimension de légende ou, peut-être, de mythe avec des échos qui pourraient bien affecter l'identité culturelle de Mendoza. Le théâtre local a reflété les possibilités esthétiques du personnage dans plusieurs occasions, marquant un dernier cycle de la «gauchesca» un de succès surprenant, autant au nivaux textuel et spectaculaire, comme dans la réception.Fil: Navarrete, José Francisco.

Luxación pura de tobillo
Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 32 años con luxación cerrada de tobillo. En urgencias se realizó reducción bajo anestesia local y se inmovilizó con férula suropédica. A la semana se aplicó botín de yeso que retiramos a la 5a semana para iniciar movilizaciones activas. La carga se autorizó a la 6a semana y a los 2 meses la movilidad y la carga eran completas, pudiendo realizar a los 3.5 meses actividades de esfuerzo. Las luxaciones cerradas pueden ser tratadas ortopédicamente con una inmovilización de 5-6 semanas. La carga puede iniciarse progresivamente a partir de la sexta semana. Estas luxaciones tienen buen pronóstico funcional y una baja tasa de complicaciones.This paper reports on a 32-year-old patient with closed luxation of the ankle. Management consisted of inmediate reduction and inmovilization in a short leg cast. A week later we applied a cat boot that we removed at the fifth week and, 2 months later, mobility and load were complete. Effort activities could be made at the 3.5 months. Closed luxations can be treated orthopedicaly with immobilization during 5-6 weeks. The load can begin progressively at the sixth week. These luxations have good functional results and a low rate of complications
Free evolution of an incoherent mixture of states: a quantum mechanical approach to the van Cittert-Zernike theorem
We study the time evolution of an incoherent mixture of quantum states and demonstrate, in very simple terms, a quantum mechanical equivalent of van Cittert–Zernike theorem, which can be easily explained to Quantum Physics students with a basic knowledge of the density matrix theory. Finally, we exemplify this result by applying it to the quantitative analysis of the coherence of a beam of particles in atomic collisions.Fil: Fabre, Ignacio. Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica.

Properties and optimal manufacturing conditions of chicken feathers thermoplastics biocomposites
The aim of this study was the analysis and characterization of composites based on thermoplastics (ethylene vinyl acetate, polypropilene and high-density polyethylene) and chicken feathers. Several composite samples with a content of 20% v/v of chicken feathers have been studied to determine the optimal manufacturing conditions of temperature, mixing time, and mixing speed to achieve the best tensile properties. The results have shown that the addition of micronized chicken feather (20% v/v) to thermoplastic matrices increases stiffness and provides a more brittle behavior. Ethylene vinyl acetate matrix also shows an ability to participate in second-order intermolecular interactions with chicken feathers, providing better tensile properties (tensile strength and toughness) than polypropilene and high-density polyethylene. Optimal manufacturing conditions were found for a mixing time of around 5min; a mixing speed of 50rmin 1 ; and temperature values of 160 C in case of high-density polyethylene, 120 C for ethylene vinyl acetate, and 170 C for polypropilene. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy analysis have been performed in order to provide further understanding of the compatibility and microstructural features that support the tensile properties of the materialsPostprint (author’s final draft

Expanding Rapid Prototyping for Electronic Systems Integration of Arbitrary Form
An innovative method for rapid prototyping (RP) of electronic circuits with components
characteristic of typical electronics applications was demonstrated using an enhanced version of
a previously developed hybrid stereolithography (SL) and direct write (DW) system, where an
existing SL machine was integrated with a three-axis DW fluid dispensing system for combined
arbitrary form electronic systems manufacturing. This paper presents initial efforts at embedding
functional electronic circuits using the hybrid SL/DW system. A simple temperature-sensitive
circuit was selected, which oscillated an LED at a frequency proportional to the temperature
sensed by the thermistor. The circuit was designed to incorporate all the required electronic
components within a 2.5” x 2” x 0.5” SL part. Electrical interconnects between electronic
components were deposited on the SL part with a DW system using silver conductive ink lines.
Several inks were deposited, cured, and tested on a variety of SL resin substrates, and the E 1660
ink (Ercon Inc, Wareham, MA) was selected due to its measured lowest average resistivity on
the SL substrates. The finished circuit was compared with Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
technology for functionality. The electronic components used here include a low voltage battery,
LM 555 timer chip, resistors, a thermistor, capacitors, and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This
circuit was selected because it (1) represented a simple circuit combining many typically used
electronic components and thus provided a useful demonstration for integrated electronic
systems manufacturing applicable to a wide variety of devices, and (2) provided an indication of
the parasitic resistances and capacitances introduced by the fabrication process due to its
sensitivity to manufacturing variation. The hybrid technology can help achieve significant size
reductions, enable systems integration in atypical forms, a natural resistance to reverse
engineering and possibly increase maximum operating temperatures of electronic circuits as
compared to the traditional PCB process. This research demonstrates the ability of the hybrid
SL/DW technology for fabricating combined electronic systems for unique electronics
applications in which arbitrary form is a requirement and traditional PCB technology cannot be
used.Mechanical Engineerin
Chiroptical Spectroscopy of C3 Molecules
The relevance of molecules with C3 symmetry comes from the fact of many of them, upon assembling as columnar helical macromolecules, are ideal platform for electro-optical devices, for example as liquid crystals. The properties of these devices are highly dependent of the structure of the bulk aggregates, and consequently they can be controlled by modifying the position and nature of the stereocenters in the molecular building blocks.
In this work we present an electronic and vibrational chiroptical study on a series of star-shaped molecules based on the octopolar C3-symmetric 1,3,5-(phenylene-ethynylene)-benzene block.Universidad de Málaga, Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tec
Condrosarcoma vertebral: A propósito de un caso recidivado con invasión intradural
Presentamos un caso de condosarcoma primario vertebral en un paciente de 17 años, que, tras el tratamiento quirúrgico, radio y quimioterapia adyuvante, sufrió una recidiva con invasión intradural a los 5 años de evolución. El paciente fue reintervenido realizándose una descompresión medular y liberación radicular, pero debido a la extensión tumoral, no hubo recuperación neurológica, quedando un síndrome medular incompleto con nivel T10. La poca frecuencia de este tumor en la columna, la dificultad que implica la proximidad de la médula para obtener márgenes quirúrgicos suficientes, y la grave y rara complicación de invasión intradural, hace a éste un caso de especial interésWe present a vertebral primary chondosarcoma in a 17-year old male who was treated by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Local recurrence with dural invasion occurred after 5-years of follow-up. The patient was reoperated, performing a spinal cord and roots decompression but, due to tumour invasion, there was no neurological recovery, with an incomplete spinal cord syndrome remaining. The spine is an unusual location for this tumour, being difficult to good surgical margins due to the proximity to neural elements, however, it is a rare complication to find dural invasion. Because of these findings this is very interesting case and our results are comparable to formerly published articles
Biofilm responses to marine fish farm wastes
The changes in the biofilm community due to organic matter enrichment, eutrophication and metal contamination derived from fish farming were studied. The biofilm biomass, polysaccharide content, trophic niche and element accumulation were quantified along an environmental gradient of fish farm wastes in two seasons. Biofilm structure and trophic diversity was influenced by seasonality as well as by the fish farm waste load. Fish farming enhanced the accumulation of organic carbon, nutrients, selenium and metals by the biofilm community. The accumulation pattern of these elements was similar regardless of the structure and trophic niche of the community. This suggests that the biofilm communities can be considered a reliable tool for assessing dissolved aquaculture wastes. Due to the ubiquity of biofilms and its wide range of consumers, its role as a sink of dissolved wastes may have important implications for the transfer of aquaculture wastes to higher trophic levels in coastal systems.This work was funded by the project AGL2004-08350-C02-01/ACU from the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología, a predoctoral grant to C.
