Microfluidic Platform Integrated with Carbon Nanofibers-Decorated Gold Nanoporous Sensing Device for Serum PSA Quantification Felici, Carlos Emiliano; Regiart, Daniel Matias Gaston; Pereira, Sirley Vanesa; Ortega, Francisco G.; Angnes, Lúcio; Messina, Germán Alejandro; Fernández Baldo, Martín Alejandro Prostate cancer is a disease with a high incidence and mortality rate in men worldwide. Serum prostate-specific antigens (PSA) are the main circulating biomarker for this disease in clinical practices. In this work, we present a portable and reusable microfluidic device for PSA quantification. This device comprises a polymethyl methacrylate microfluidic platform coupled with electrochemical detection. The platinum working microelectrode was positioned in the outflow region of the microchannel and was modified with carbon nanofibers (CNF)-decorated gold nanoporous (GNP) structures by the dynamic hydrogen bubble template method, through the simultaneous electrodeposition of metal precursors in the presence of CNF. CNF/GNP structures exhibit attractive properties, such as a large surface to volume ratio, which increases the antibody’s immobilization capacity and the electroactive area. CNFs/GNP structures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and cyclic voltammetry. Anti-PSA antibodies and HRP were employed for the immune-electrochemical reaction. The detection limit for the device was 5 pg mL−1, with a linear range from 0.01 to 50 ng mL−1. The coefficients of variation within and between assays were lower than 4.40%, and 6.15%, respectively. Additionally, its clinical performance was tested in serum from 30 prostate cancer patients. This novel device was a sensitive, selective, portable, and reusable tool for the serological diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer.

Effect of ligand concentration and ultrasonic treatment on inclusion complexes of high amylose corn starch with chia seed oil fatty acids Di Marco, Andrea Esther; Ixtaina, Vanesa Yanet; Tomás, Mabel Cristina Chia seed oil is rich in α-linolenic and linoleic fatty acids, which have multiple health benefits but are prone to oxidation due to their high degree of unsaturation. The linear component of starch, amylose, can interact with hydrophobic molecules (ligand) forming amylose inclusion complexes, which may potentially act as delivery systems of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Their physicochemical and functional properties are influenced by the conditions of formation. In the present study, it was investigated the effect of ultrasonic treatment and different ligand/starch ratios (10, 20, and 30% w/w) on the physicochemical properties of inclusion complexes formed between high amylose corn starch and enzymatically hydrolyzed chia seed oil. The increase in ligand/starch ratio, especially from 10 to 20%, yielded complexes with a higher content of α-linolenic acid. The effect of ultrasonic treatment on the acidic composition of complexes depended on the initial ligand concentration. All samples displayed a V-type X-ray diffraction pattern, indicating an effective complexation. Ultrasonically treated complexes showed a higher crystallinity than the untreated ones, suggesting that sonication promoted the fatty acid complexation. All samples displayed the same thermal behavior (Tp > 90 °C, ΔH = 7 J/g) and similar structural properties at the microscopic level. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the untreated complexes formed with a 10% ligand/starch ratio effectively protected hydrolyzed chia seed oil from oxidative deterioration, suggesting an appropriate behavior as potential carrier agents of fatty acids from chia seed oil in food.

Ordovician stratigraphy and biota of Mexico Cuen Romero, Francisco Javier; Buitrón-Sánchez, Blanca Estela; Beresi, Matilde Sylvia; Palafox Reyes, Juan J.; Monreal, Rogelio In Mexico, Ordovician sedimentary rocks are exposed in the states of Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua and Oaxaca, comprising approximately 30 stratigraphic successions ranging from Lower to Upper Ordovician. The ages of the sequences have been established primarily by utilizing conodonts and graptolites, which have also allowed us to differentiate between platform and oceanic basin environments. The State of Sonora has the most complete Ordovician stratigraphic sequences, ranging from Tremadocian to Hirnantian. The deposits in Baja California are Floian in age, while the sequences of Chihuahua range from Sandbian to Katian, and the deposits in Oaxaca are Tremadocian. The Ordovician deposits of northern Mexico (Baja California, Sonora, and Chihuahua) present a palaeogeographic relationship to the North American craton, mainly owing to faunal interspecific affinities, while the southern deposits (Oaxaca) are controversial due to the high degree of endemism of the faunas; however, they show affinity with Gondwana, Baltica and Avalonia, with a possible insular origin. The biotic assemblages of the Ordovician of Mexico include a variety of taxa, including algae, poriferans, corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, molluscs, trilobites, echinoderms, graptolites and conodonts as predominant elements. Despite many years of field studies in Mexican Ordovician localities, biostratigraphic correlations are insufficient and incomplete or based on limited interpretations. Thus, the Ordovician biostratigraphic data from Mexico compiled in the present paper have great potential and significant value. The advancement in the knowledge of the Ordovician biostratigraphy of Mexico will contribute to a major understanding of the relationships with the Ordovician System on a continental scale. Future advances will come mainly through increasing the amount and quality of data and improving bio-correlations among the Ordovician sequences of Mexico.

Microencapsulation of Probiotics with Soy Protein Isolate and Alginate for the Poultry Industry Babot, Jaime Daniel; Argañaraz Martínez, Fernando Eloy; Apella, Maria Cristina; Perez Chaia, Adriana Beatriz Many probiotic products, with properly selected microorganisms, may not be effective for the intended purpose due to the low tolerance of microorganisms to gastrointestinal digestion. The microencapsulation seems to be one of the most promising techniques to protect probiotics against adverse environmental conditions. Therefore, the aim of this work was the design of soy protein isolate-alginate microcapsules for the encapsulation of probiotics for the poultry industry by the water-in-oil emulsion technique. To this end, the strain Ligilactobacillus salivarius CRL2217, with the ability to bind wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) on its surface and protect intestinal epithelial cells from the cytotoxicity of the glycoprotein, was used as model microorganism. Several parameters were varied in order to find the better conditions for microencapsulation: oil source and nature, SPI and sodium alginate concentration, stirring equipment and time for emulsion formation, CaCl2 concentration, and absence or presence of stirring after the addition of the CaCl2 solution. The survival of entrapped cells to a simulated gastric digestion and their survival and release during simulated intestinal digestion were also investigated. The obtained particles effectively protected L. salivarius CRL2217 from the proteolytic activity and low pH present in the gastric environment. Besides, their content was released in contact with a simulated intestinal juice, as viable counts and binding of WGA after a simulated intestinal digestion revealed. This work paves the way for the design of probiotic supplements for poultry including gastrointestinal digestion-susceptible bacteria.

El capitalismo hoy (y antes también), según Nancy Fraser Lizárraga, Fernando Alberto El presente artículo, que Fernando Lizárraga tuvo la generosidad de hacernos llegar en condición de inédito para que lo publiquemos en nuestra sección bibliográfica/bibliófila Parley (gesto que valoramos y agradecemos), es una «reseña» del libro de Nancy Fraser Cannibal Capitalism. How Our System Is Devouring Democracy, Care, the Planet –and What We Can Do about It (Verso, Londres y Nueva York, 2022, 190 págs.). ¿Por qué el entrecomillado? Porque, como bien nos señalara el propio autor, “más que reseña es un resumen”. Reseña o resumen, lo cierto es que el texto de Lizárraga cumple con creces su propósito: ofrecerle al público de lengua castellana –a través de citas, paráfrasis y glosas hilvanadas de modo muy didáctico y sagaz– una visión panorámica de la última obra escrita por la pensadora marxista norteamericana, cuando aún no ha sido traducida del inglés a nuestro idioma.

La función de policía hacia el gobierno político-administrativo. Mendoza, Río de la Plata, 1820-1828; The police function towards the political-administrative government. Mendoza, Río de la Plata, 1820-1828 Molina, Eugenia Rosa Ana Existe cierto consenso historiográfico respecto de la configuración de espacios políticos a partir de la jurisdicción de las ciudades indianas en el periodo que siguió a la desintegración de las Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata. En ese contexto, la eliminación de los cabildos habría resultado clave porque permitió que los ejecutivos terminaran de incorporar la función de policía antes detentada por estos. Utilizar a esta última como vía de abordaje puede permitir analizar cómo se configuró progresivamente un ejercicio gubernamental cada vez menos declarativo, en el sentido jurisdiccional de respetar y reproducir un orden indisponible a través de un gobierno de jueces, y más político-administrativo, en tanto fundaba la capacidad de intervención sobre la vida social en la consecución del bien público.

Fablar y sonar curso rimado por la cuaderna vía: la Cantiga de Santa María 420; Fablar and sonar curso rimado in the cuaderna vía: the Cantiga de Santa María 420 del Rio, María Gimena; Rossi, Germán Pablo El verso alejandrino es uno de los metros más usados en la poesía medieval castellana. Contemporáneo a otros ligados al ámbito de la lírica trovadoresca, fue históricamente estudiado en lo que respecta a la articulación del mester de clerecía y, por ende, abordado sin establecer relaciones formales con otro tipo de producción poética. Es nuestra intención vincularlo aquí a la compilación lírica medieval surgida en torno a Alfonso X, las Cantigas de Santa María, con especial interés en la forma métrico-estrófica y en el contenido y melodía de la cantiga 420, pieza que se transmite en un único manuscrito mariano, el códice de los músicos (E). Editada por Walter Mettman en seis estrofas de doce versos, creemos que cabe revisar su estructura formal partiendo de una divisio estrófica tripartita alrededor de diferentes núcleos temáticos relacionados con el relato de su vida de la Virgen María en los evangelios apócrifos. Desde lo filológico, esta propuesta nos dejaría ante un claro ejemplo de uso de la cuarteta monorrima de alejandrinos en cuaderna vía en el corpus alfonsí. El cruce interdisciplinario con la musicología nos permitiría, a su vez, dar cuenta de la organización y las características del material melódico de la cantiga con el objeto de analizar su complementariedad con la estructura formal. Estos datos sonoros posibilitan que el texto de carácter narrativo de la cantiga pueda destacarse dada la redundancia sonora y la relación de predominancia silábica con que cuenta la melodía conservada en el códice alfonsí. *Nota: Soy la editora de este volumen especial de Olivar.; The alexandrine is one of the most used verse meters in Hispanic Medieval Lyrical Poetry. In this article we analyze the use of the alexandrine verse in the medieval lyric compilation ordered by Alfonso Xth, the Cantigas de Santa María. We are especially interested in the metric-strophic form, and in the content and melody of the CSM 420, a cantiga copied in one single Marian manuscript also known as the Musicians Codex (E). The poem was edited by Walter Mettman in six strophes of twelve verses. Mettman followed strictly the mise en page of E. We consider that his proposal can be revised under the lens of a coordinated philological and musicological approach in which we can subdivide its long stanzas in shorter quartets of alexandrine verses that relate to the biblical apocrypha. The interdisciplinary approach between Philology and Musicology also allowed us to account for the organization and characteristics of the melodic material of the cantiga in order to analyze its relationship with the formal structure. Consequently, we revisit its formal structure and propose a divisio based on the different topics that also relate to the melodic and formal structure of the cantiga.

Ensemble based methods for leapfrog integration in the simplified parameterizations, primitive‐equation dynamics model Nino Ruiz, Elias D.; Consuegra Ortega, Randy S.; Lucini, María Magdalena This paper presents efficient and practical implementations of sequential dataassimilation methods for the Simplified Parameterizations, primitive-EquationDYnamics (SPEEDY) Model, a well-known numerical model, into the dataassimilation community for climate prediction. In the SPEEDY model, the timeevolution of dynamics is performed via the second-order Leapfrog integrationscheme; this time integrator relies on two steps: the position and the velocity. Thecomputational implementation of SPEEDY blends the time integrator and thespatial discretization of dynamics to accelerate algebraic computations. Thus,there is no access to the right-hand side function of the ordinary differentialequations governing the time evolution of model dynamics. Consequently, theSPEEDY model is often treated as a black box wherein positions and velocitieswork as inputs and outputs. Since observations in operational data assimilationonly match position states, we can exploit augmented vector states to propagateanalysis innovations frompositions to velocities. For this purpose, we formulatethree variants of ensemble-based filters and perform numerical experiments toassess their accuracies.We consider two scenarios for the experiments: an idealcase wherein positions and velocities can be observed and a more realistic onewherein measurements are only accessible for position states. Besides, we discussthe effects of the ensemble size on the accuracies of our formulations and,even more, the typical case in which velocities are not updated across assimilationsteps. The results reveal that all filter formulations? accuracies remainthe same in terms of Root-Mean-Square-Error by neglecting observations fromvelocities (a realistic scenario) even for cases wherein the number of measurementsdecreases to 6% of model components. Furthermore, for all discussedfilter implementations, the propagation of analysis increments from positionto velocities improves up to 100% the performance of filter implementationswherein velocities are not updated, a typical operational scenario.

PHANGS-JWST First Results: Dust-embedded Star Clusters in NGC 7496 Selected via 3.3 μm PAH Emission Rodriguez, Maria Jimena; Lee, Janice C.; Whitmore, B.C.; Thilker, David A.; Maschmann, Daniel; Chandar, Rupali; Deger, Sinan; Boquien, Médéric; Dale, Daniel A.; Larson, Kirsten L.; Williams, Thomas G.; Kim, Hwihyun; Schinnerer, Eva; Rosolowsky, Erik; Leroy, Adam K.; Emsellem, Eric; Sandstrom, Karin M.; Grasha, Kathryn; Watkins, Elizabeth J.; Barnes, Ashley. T.; Sormani, Mattia C.; Kim, Jaeyeon; Anand, Gagandeep S.; Chevance, Mélanie; Bigiel, F.; Klessen, Ralf S.; Hassani, Hamid; Liu, Daizhong; Cao, Yixian; Pessa, Ismael; Kreckel, Kathryn; Egorov, Oleg V. The earliest stages of star formation occur enshrouded in dust and are not observable in the optical. Here we leverage the extraordinary new high-resolution infrared imaging from JWST to begin the study of dust-embedded star clusters in nearby galaxies throughout the Local Volume. We present a technique for identifying dust-embedded clusters in NGC 7496 (18.7 Mpc), the first galaxy to be observed by the PHANGS-JWST Cycle 1 Treasury Survey. We select sources that have strong 3.3 μm PAH emission based on a F300M − F335M color excess and identify 67 candidate embedded clusters. Only eight of these are found in the PHANGS-HST optically selected cluster catalog, and all are young (six have SED fit ages of ∼1 Myr). We find that this sample of embedded cluster candidates may significantly increase the census of young clusters in NGC 7496 from the PHANGS-HST catalog; the number of clusters younger than ∼2 Myr could be increased by a factor of 2. Candidates are preferentially located in dust lanes and are coincident with the peaks in the PHANGS-ALMA CO (2-1) maps. We take a first look at concentration indices, luminosity functions, SEDs spanning from 2700 Å to 21 μm, and stellar masses (estimated to be between ∼104 and 105 M ⊙). The methods tested here provide a basis for future work to derive accurate constraints on the physical properties of embedded clusters, characterize the completeness of cluster samples, and expand analysis to all 19 galaxies in the PHANGS-JWST sample, which will enable basic unsolved problems in star formation and cluster evolution to be addressed.

Two phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinases with differing biochemical properties in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Torresi, Florencia; Rodriguez, Fernanda Mariana; Gomez Casati, Diego Fabian; Martín, Mariana Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) catalyses the reversible reaction of decarboxylation and phosphorylation of oxaloacetate (OAA) to generate phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and CO2 playing mainly a gluconeogenic role in green algae. We found two PEPCK isoforms in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and we cloned, purified and characterised both enzymes. ChlrePEPCK1 is more active as decarboxylase than ChlrePEPCK2. ChlrePEPCK1 is hexameric and its activity is affected by citrate, phenylalanine and malate, while ChlrePEPCK2 is monomeric and it is regulated by citrate, phenylalanine and glutamine. We postulate that the two PEPCK isoforms found originate from alternative splicing of the gene or regulated proteolysis of the enzyme. The presence of these two isoforms would be part of a mechanism to finely regulate the biological activity of PEPCKs.

New insights into the Piedra de Afilar Formation, Canelones department of Uruguay: Very-low-grade metamorphism, pressure solution, and age Dristas, Jorge Anastasio; Masquelin, Henri; Wemmer, Klaus; Bianchi, Franco Denis; Martinez, Juan Cruz; Massonne, Hans Joachim A detailed microstructural, mineralogical, and geochronological study was carried out along a profile in the Piedras de Afilar Formation (PAF) at the González quarry and surroundings (Uruguay). Both the PAF and the Soca granite were affected by very-low-grade metamorphism and pressure-induced dissolution. These postdiagenetic processes resulted in intense corrosion and alteration indicated by sericitization, silicification, and crystallization of iron oxides. Major auto-metamorphism was identified between the intrusive gabbro and the PAF, with almost no effects on the wall rock. K-Ar ages of sericite indicate 609-604 Ma for the metamorphism and related pressure-solution in the PAF. This age is in agreement with the juxtaposition of the Edén or Nico Pérez terranes and the Piedra Alta Terrane along the Sarandí del Yí shear zone. K-Ar dating of the gabbro wall rock constrained a deposition age of the PAF between 1000 and ca. 734 Ma.

Skyrmion fluid and bimeron glass protected by a chiral spin liquid on kagome Rosales, Hector Diego; Gómez Albarracín, Flavia Alejandra; Pujol, Pierre; Jaubert, L. Skyrmions are of interest both from a fundamental and technological point of view, due to their potential to act as information carriers. But one challenge concerns their manipulation, especially at high temperature where thermal fluctuations eventually disintegrate them. Here we study the competition between skyrmions and a chiral spin liquid, using the latter as an entropic buffer to impose a quasi-vacuum of skyrmions. As a result, the temperature becomes a knob to tune the skyrmion density from a dense liquid to a diluted gas, protecting the integrity of each skyrmion from paramagnetic disintegration. With this additional knob in hand, we find at high field a topological spin glass made of zero- and one-dimensional topological defects (resp. skyrmions and bimerons).

Experimental, Spectroscopic, and Computational Insights into the Reactivity of “Methanal” with 2-Naphthylamines Havlík, Martin; Navrátilová, Tereza; Drozdová, Michaela; Tatar, Ameneh; Lanza Castronuovo, Priscila Ailin; Dusso, Diego; Moyano, Elizabeth Laura; Chesta, Carlos Alberto; Vera, Domingo Mariano Adolfo; Dolenský, Bohumil The reactions of 2-naphthylamine and methyl 6-amino-2-naphthoate with formalin and paraformaldehyde were studied experimentally, spectrally, and by quantum chemical calculations. It was found that neither the corresponding aminals nor imines were formed under the described conditions but could be prepared and spectrally characterized at least in situ under modified conditions. Several of the previously undescribed intermediates and by-products were isolated or at least spectrally characterized. First principle density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to shed light on the key aspects of the thermochemistry of decomposition and further condensation of the corresponding aminals and imines. The calculations also revealed that the electrophilicity of methanal was significantly greater than that of ordinary oxo-compounds, except for perfluorinated ones. In summary, methanal was not behaving as the simplest aldehyde but as a very electron-deficient oxo-compound.

Culture repubblicane ispanoamericane; sovranità, rappresentanza, traduzione tra Sette e Ottocento Goldman, Noemi Lidia En los últimos 30 años hemos asistido a una importante renovación historiográfica sobre las culturas políticas así como en la construcción de nuevos poderes en América Latina desde los procesos de emancipación, revoluciones y guerras de independencia a comienzos del siglo 19. Este artículo pretende reflexionar sobre esta renovación con especial atención en la cuestión de la soberanía, la representación política y la circulación, traducción y adaptación de modelos republicanos.; In the last 30 years we have witnessed an important historiographical renewal on republican cultures as well as on the construction of new powers in Latin America from the processes of emancipation, revolutions, and wars of independence in the early 19th Century. This article aims to reflect on this renewal with special attention to the question of sovereignty, political representation and the circulation, translation, and adaptation of republican models.

Exploring the Relationship between Spontaneous Sister Chromatid Exchange and Genome Instability in Two Cryptic Species of Non-Human Primates Nieves, Mariela; Puntieri, Fiona; Bailey, Susan M.; Mudry, Marta Dolores; Marañon, David G. There are extensive studies on chromosome morphology and karyotype diversity in primates, yet we still lack insight into genomic instability as a key factor underlying the enormous interspecies chromosomal variability and its potential contribution to evolutionary dynamics. In this sense, the assessment of spontaneous sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies represents a powerfultool for evaluating genome stability. Here, we employed G-banding, fluorescence plus Giemsa (FPG), and chromosome orientation fluorescence in situ hybridization (CO-FISH) methodologies tocharacterize both chromosome-specific frequencies of spontaneously occurring SCE throughout the genome (G-SCE) and telomere-specific SCE (T-SCE).We analyzed primary fibroblast cultures from two male species of Ateles living in captivity: Ateles paniscus (APA) and Ateles chamek (ACH). High frequencies of G-SCEs were observed in both species. Interestingly, G-SCEs clustered on evolutionary relevant chromosome pairs: ACH chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7, and APA chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4/12, 7, and 10. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference between the observed and expected G-SCE frequencies, not correlated with chromosome size, was also detected. CO-FISH analyses revealed the presence of telomere-specific recombination events in both species, which included T-SCE, as well as interstitial telomere signals and telomere duplications, with APA chromosomes displaying higher frequencies, compared to ACH. Our analyses support the hypothesis that regions of Ateles chromosomes susceptible to recombination events are fragile sites and evolutionary hot spots. Thus, we propose SCE analyses as a valuable indicator of genome instability in non-human primates.

La construcción de doblado clausal (o sobre qué significa repetir una oración); A duplicação de clausulas (ou sobre o que significa repetir uma frase); The clausal doubling construction (or on what it means to repeat a sentence) Muñoz Pérez, Carlos; Verdecchia Leandro, Matías Nicolás Este trabajo presenta un estudio sobre los patrones de doblado en español que sigue la línea de análisis de Muñoz Pérez y Verdecchia (2022). Se introduce un patrón de doblado que no se ha discutido previamente en la bibliografía, el doblado clausal, y se compara este patrón con el doblado de predicados. Se argumenta que ambos patrones tienen en esencia la misma estructura, pero se distinguen por la naturaleza de los constituyentes que se encuentran dislocados en cada una. Este factor da lugar a una serie de diferencias formales e interpretativas que se capturan a partir de un análisis unificado.; Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de padrões de duplicação espanhola que segue a linha de análise de Muñoz Pérez e Verdecchia (2022). É introduzido um padrão de duplicação não discutido anteriormente na literatura, a duplicação de clausulas, e este padrão é comparado com a duplicação de predicados. Argumenta-se que ambos os padrões têm essencialmente a mesma estrutura, mas se distinguem pela natureza dos constituintes que são deslocados em cada um deles. Este fator introduz uma série de diferenças formais e interpretativas que são capturadas por uma análise unificada.; This paper presents a study on Spanish doubling patterns that follows the line of analysis advanced by Muñoz Pérez and Verdecchia (2022). It introduces a doubling pattern that has not been previously discussed in the literature, clausal doubling, and compares it with predicate doubling. It argues that both patterns have essentially the same structure but are distinguished by the nature of the constituents that are dislocated in each case. This factor triggers a number of formal and interpretative differences that are captured by a unified analysis.

Calculation of the contribution of water to calcium intake in low- and middle-income countries Cormick, Gabriela; Settecase, Eugenia; Wu, Michaella L.; Nichols, Paulina M.; Devia, Mara; Dziarski, Alisha; Matamoros, Natalia; Puchulu, María Bernardita; Belizan, Jose; Gibbons, Luz Dietary calcium intake is low in many countries, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Water is often overlooked as a source of dietary calcium despite it being universally consumed and providing good calcium bioavailability. Our objective was to assess water distribution systems in LMICs and to develop a formula to simulate the contribution of different water sources to calcium availability. We calculated the contribution of drinking water considering different calcium concentration levels to estimate total calcium availability. We consider a country's households’ access to drinking water sources and the distribution of the country's population by age and gender. Calcium availability could be increased by an average of 49 mg of calcium per person per day in the 62 countries assessed if calcium in drinking water was considered. In 22 (31%) of the countries studied, 80% of households are supplied by water sources that could increase calcium availability. Improving calcium concentration in water could be considered as a strategy in LMICs to slightly improve calcium availability.

Desarrollo Global desde una perspectiva local: importancia de la vinculación y diplomacia en las Ciencias, Educación, y Formación continua; Global development from local perspective: importance of Entailment and Diplomacy in Sciences, Education, and Continuous formation Bracamonte Gontero, Lucia V.; Bracamonte, Angel Guillermo Esta breve comunicación intenta hacer reflexionar sobre el desarrollo a todos los niveles que se puedan evaluar en el bienestar humano desde un desarrollo local, hacia una escala global o planetaria. Y en este sentido los principales ejes en los cuales se basa son sobre la importancia en la vinculación de los individuos en sus cercanías al igual que a mayores distancias físicas e igualmente culturales. Y se debe mencionar estos dos aspectos en una realidad en donde existen diferencias culturales. Estos factores afectan al desarrollo tecnológico, educación; nivel, y calidad de vida. Es así que los diferentes índices de desarrollo tales como índices estadísticos en Demografía y Economía pueden ser muy variados. Pero, es importante destacar que para realizar una mejora local en tiempos más acotados, hay que vincularse para interactuar sea recibiendo o brindando un bien material u abstracto el cual pueda acelerar ese proceso deseado. Y es allí que la Vinculación y transferencia en Tecnología y Educación en diferentes esferas de desarrollo humano es vital. De igual manera la formación continua, la cual en las últimas generaciones se ha producido cambios drásticos en políticas de Educación mediante la creación de diferentes estrategias basadas en los medios de comunicación en diferentes formatos para acercar la información hacia los diferentes estratos sociales. De esta manera, se pueden acoplar diferentes niveles educativos con un factor en común relacionado con la curiosidad y con mentes abiertas para aprender, trabajar, y vivir en comunidad en el contexto de desarrollos de nuevas maneras sustentables inteligentes para vivir. Con estas perspectivas, el desarrollo y educación a nivel Universitario y de Postgrado en Ciencias teniendo en cuenta la transmisión de la importancia de los factores mencionados tales como; i) la vinculación, iii) desarrollo de conocimiento, y iii) transferencia, es fundamental. Finalmente, se debe destacar la particular necesidad de a todos los niveles de las buenas relaciones humanas, inteligencia emocional, y diplomacia para tener éxito desde los más simples hacia los más complicados desafíos a abordar en el transcurso de cualquier desarrollo.

Advances in Quantum properties of Graphene applied for targeted functional Nanomaterials and Metamaterials Bracamonte, Angel Guillermo In the present work we describe the most important quantum properties of graphene and derivatives recently published. We discuss how these properties were incorporated into varied hybrid materials such as substrates for specific tuning of matter to track varied quantum signals. Their potential applications were analyzed from nanomaterial and nanotechnology. In particular graphene, its derivatives and other carbon-based allotropes were chosen due to their special chemical structure and properties from the nanoscale to larger lengths, according to specific applications. As expected, these carbon-based and related materials’ highly ordered and condensed electronic configuration showed particular electronic properties below the nanoscale. Thus, we discussed the generation of pseudo-electromagnetic fields and conduction bands. This particular property could also interact with different quantized energy levels and quantum properties, such as those focused on: i) Dirac electron interaction and conduction, ii) anomalous quantized hall effects, iii) magnetic effects, iv) excitons, v) polaron generations, d vi) Fermi and Landau levels. These different phenomena were discussed about the particular topological states of graphene by tuning their 3D chemical structures. Therefore, quantum phenomena and their possible modifications such as quantum interference, potential improvements and encrypted signal transduction were considered for applications.

Pseudo-dual pairs and branching of Discrete Series Vargas, Jorge Antonio For a semisimple Lie group G, we study Discrete Series representations with admissible branching to a symmetric subgroup H. This is done using a canonical associated symmetric subgroup H0, forming a pseudo-dual pair with H, and a corresponding branching law for this group with respect to its maximal compact subgroup. This is in analogy with either Blattner's or Kostant-Heckmann multiplicity formulas, and has some resemblance to Frobenius reciprocity. We give several explicit examples and links to Kobayashi-Pevzner theory of symmetry breaking and holographic operators. Our method is well adapted to computer algorithms, such as for example the Atlas program.
