No full textEste pequena resenha sobre o pesquisador paraense Leonidas de Mello Deane dá sequência à série iniciada na Revista NORTE CIÊNCIA (ISSN 2177-4315) da Academia Paraense de Ciências, sobre cientistas que se formaram no Pará e exerceram suas pesquisas em outros estados brasileiros. O médico Leonidas Deane foi um grande pesquisador que deixou contribuições fundamentais para o conhecimento das doenças infecciosas endêmicas no Brasil ou importadas de outros países. Dentre elas, as leishmanioses e a malária. Neste breve relato sobre Leonidas Deane, mostramos sua importância como cientista e como formador de novas equipes de pesquisadores. 
Animal, Plant, Collagen and Blended Dietary Proteins: Effects on Musculoskeletal Outcomes.
No full textDietary protein is critical for the maintenance of musculoskeletal health, whereappropriate intake (i.e., source, dose, timing) can mitigate declines in muscle and bone mass and/orfunction. Animal-derived protein is a potent anabolic source due to rapid digestion and absorptionkinetics stimulating robust increases in muscle protein synthesis and promoting bone accretion andmaintenance. However, global concerns surrounding environmental sustainability has led to anincreasing interest in plant- and collagen-derived protein as alternative or adjunct dietary sources.This is despite the lower anabolic profile of plant and collagen protein due to the inferior essentialamino acid profile (e.g., lower leucine content) and subordinate digestibility (versus animal). Thisreview evaluates the efficacy of animal-, plant- and collagen-derived proteins in isolation, and asprotein blends, for augmenting muscle and bone metabolism and health in the context of ageing,exercise and energy restriction
Cuando la literatura cura: Una guía de lectura para Reading in the Dark (Deane, 1997)
No full textLa literatura cura cuando, a través de la escritura, el autor intenta cerrar la herida causada por el trauma infligido por la condición colonial o por la aparente normalidad del canon literario. A los lectores les resta detectar las claves que les permitan descubrir la lógica mediante la cual el autor desea hacer las paces con su pasado. A esa empresa están dedicadas estas breves notas de investigación. Se propone una guía de lectura para Reading in the Dark de Seamus Deane (1997), novela contextualizada en la cruenta realidad de Irlanda del Norte anterior a los Problemas (1968-1998). Se sugiere que, a fin de revertir los efectos del trauma causado por esa situación, Deane construye su propia literatura menor (Deleuze & Guattari, 1978). Ubicada en las fronteras entre la autobiografía y la ficción, la novela puede ser abordada en términos de las categorías deleuzianas desterritorialización del lenguaje, articulación de lo personal y lo político, y mecanismo narrativo colectivo. Leídas al unísono, dichas características, ponen en juego, con una potencia no menor a las de las literaturas post-coloniales, las condiciones revolucionarias de una literatura menor y es allí donde, al decir de Deleuze (2006), yace la verdadera salud del escritor.Palabras clave: literatura, literatura norirlandesa contemporánea, literatura menor, traumaAbstractLiterature heals when, through writing, the author tries to close the wound caused by the trauma inflicted by either the colonial condition or the apparent normalcy of the literary canon. Readers are then enticed to detect the clues and the overall logics through which the author wishes to come to terms with his past. That is the intention of these brief research notes. A reading guide to Seamus Deane’s (1997) Reading in the Dark is suggested here. The novel is set in the harsh panorama of Northern Ireland before The Problems (1968-1998), and it is proposed that, in order to overcome the effects of the trauma derived from that situation, Deane (1997) designs his own minor literature (Deleuze & Guattari, 1978). Halfway between fiction and autobiography, the novel can be analized in terms of the Deleuzian categories deterritorialization of language, collective narrative mechanism, and articulation between the personal and the political. Read in tandem, those traits put at play, with no lighter strength than those of post-colonial literatures, the revolutionary conditions of a minor literature, and it is there where, according to Deleuze (2006), lies for the author its true health. Key words: literature, contemporary northern irish literature, minor literature, trauma

Arizona Then and Now: Exploring Arizona's Five Cs Through Photography
No full textabstract: Arizona Then and Now: Exploring Arizona's Five Cs Through Photography is a photographic exploration of the evolution of Arizona's five Cs: cotton, copper, citrus, cattle, and climate. This project first looks to the past to see how these five elements shaped the state of Arizona. Photographs were taken across the valley of these elements, or lack thereof, discovering what Arizona has transformed into in the process. Each chapter of the book begins with a brief history of the element focused on in that chapter, followed by an analytical thought about the photographs taken and how the element has evolved. Each chapter shows two historical photographs followed by a series of photographs taken during the project that the author thought depicted what is seen today. The book ends on a final positive note about how the five Cs are not dead, but soon could be completely taken over. This project was a way for a non-art major to explore the state that she grew up while also challenging herself by more than just taking pictures. The photographs displayed in the book depict a sampling of what the author saw that is left of the five Cs
IR-improved DGLAP-CS QCD parton showers in Pythia8
No full textAbstractWe introduce the recently developed IR-improved DGLAP-CS theory into the showers in Pythia8, as this Monte Carlo event generator is in wide use at LHC. We show that, just as it was true in the IR-improved shower Monte Carlo Herwiri, which realizes the IR-improved DGLAP-CS theory in the Herwig6.5 environment, the soft limit in processes such as single heavy gauge boson production is now more physical in the IR-improved DGLAP-CS theory version of Pythia8. This opens the way to one’s getting a comparison between the actual detector simulations for some of the LHC experiments between IR-improved and unimproved showers as Pythia8 is used in detector simulations at LHC whereas Herwig6.5, the environment of the only other IR-improved DGLAP-CS QCD MC in the literature, Herwiri1.031, is not any longer so used. Our achieving the availability of the IR-improved DGLAP-CS Pythia8 then is an important step in the further development of the LHC precision theory program under development by the author and his collaborators

Microporous cesium salts of tetravalent Keggin-type polyoxotungstates Cs-4[SiW12O40], Cs-4[PW11O39(Sn-n-C4H9)], and Cs-4[PW11O39(Sn-OH)] and their adsorption properties
No full textMicroporous cesium salts of modified and unmodified tetravalent Keggin-type polyoxometalates, including Cs-4[SiW12O40], Cs-4[PW11O39(Sn-n-C4H9)], and Cs-4[PW11O39(Sn-OH)], were synthesized. The crystalline structures, which had body-centered cubic (bcc) arrangements, the lattice constants, and the pore-size distributions of the three Cs salts were similar, regardless of the presence or absence and types of functional groups introduced. The Cs salts had only micropores and no mesopores. The micropore size distributions were determined from adsorption isotherms of Ar, which showed a sharp peak at 0.59 nm and a shoulder at 0.62 nm. The fractions of the external surface areas to the total surface areas of the Cs salts were less than 6%. It is plausible that the micropores originate from the heteropoly anion defects in the crystallite, which form to avoid mismatches in the Cs+/(heteropoly anion) ratio required for charge balance (=4) and for a bcc structure (=3). The surface of the Cs salt introduced with n-butyl groups was hydrophobic, although the surface density of the n-butyl groups was low. On the other hand, the hydroxyl groups present on the surface of Cs-4[PW11O39(Sn-OH)] had little effect on the adsorption of water, methanol, ethanol, and hexane but a great impact on that for benzene due to the interactions between the -OH groups and the aromatic rings (-OH center dot center dot center dot pi).
