Assessment of the Finlay Journal Scientific Production According to the Web of Science
No full textFoundation: bibliometry allows to analize the scientific production of a country, institution or particular author. The best journals worldwide do bibliometric studies to determine if they are competitive with their pairs in a thematic knowledge area. Objective: to evaluate the scientific production of the Finlay Journal in the period 2015-2017. Method: a bibliometric study was realized in which he production analyzed is done during the years 2015 to 2017, the information was extracted up to January 7th 2018, data base from the Web of Science was used. The 144 articles examined were imported to a data base elaborated, with this purpose, using Excel Microsoft. The variables considered were: year of the publication, author’s production, institutions, countries, topics, languages, average quotes per publication and number of authors per article. In addition indicators h, g and e were used. The results were presented in tables in order to be able to evaluate the scientific production of the journal. Results: topics related with internal medicine predominated, the most productive author was Miguel Serra Valdés, also the most prolific institution was the Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University Hospital, Cuba is the country with the highest contribution of articles. Conclusion: the Finlay Journal has progressively been consolidating its quality and impact in the competitive environment within the Web of Science

In the second part of the article the Social Care Institute for Excellence provides an overview of other research and resources on residential services and learning disabilities
Ozonation as an alternative to chlorination for soft wheat flours
No full textHigh ratio cakes made from ozonated flour attained volumes and other quality characteristics comparable to those from chlorinated flours at 36 min ozonation time. Ozone thus appears to be a viable and more environmentally acceptable alternative to chlorine. Extraction of lipids from flour caused deterioration of cake quality which was not restored by ozonation indicating that lipids were involved in the improving effects of ozonation. Oxidation by ozone led to higher molecular weights of polymeric proteins
Activity adjuvant of Bacillus subtilis spores for mucosal route
No full textLas esporas de Bacillus subtilis, generalmente reconocidas como seguras, han recibido una creciente atención en aplicaciones biotecnológicas en formulaciones vacunales, sobre todo como adyuvantes. Este trabajo presenta una revisión actualizada de la acción adyuvante de las esporas de B. subtilis y conjuntamente se expone nuestra experiencia por vía oral (o.r) e intranasal (i.n) como adyuvante frente antígenos modelos ovoalbúmina (Ova) y toxoide tetánico (TT). Se realizó una revisión documental sobre B. subtilis, adyuvante, vacuna y vía mucosal en MEDLINE a través de PubMed; también se revisaron las bases de datos SciELO y LILACS. Para la exploración de la capacidad adyuvante se trabajó con esporas de B. subtilis (cepa RG 4365). Se inmunizaron ratones Balb/c por vía mucosal con esporas coadministradas con los antígenos modelos, y se midió las respuesta de anticuerpos específicos en suero, saliva y heces por método de ELISA. La revisión realizada evidenció la existencia de varios trabajos que utilizan las esporas de B. subtilis por diferentes metodologías y vías de administración como adyuvante, siendo la expresión de antígenos recombinantes la más utilizada, así como la vía o.r entre la aplicación mucosa. En nuestro trabajo se obtuvo un aumento de la respuesta sérica de IgG, subclases IgG1 e IgG2a y de IgA específicos en saliva y heces en los grupos inmunizados con esporas coadministradas con Ova y con TT por ambas vías, significativamente superior a los grupos controles (p<0,05). Estos datos sugieren que las esporas son eficientes adyuvantes pues aumentan la respuesta inmune humoral sistémica y mucosal y resalta su potencial clínico en futuras vacunas mucosales.Bacillus subtilis spores generally considered safe, have received growing attention due to their potential biotechnological applications including vaccine formulations, particularly as vaccine adjuvants. In the present review we present the status of the adjuvanticity of the spore B. subtilis for mucosal route and our experience regarding its adjuvant activity induced against two model antigens, Tetanus Toxoid (TT) and ovalbumin (Ova) for oral (o.r) and intranasal (i.n) immunization. A document review on B. subtilis, adjuvant, vaccine and mucosal route was carried out in MEDLINE by PubMed, SciELO and LILACS databases. B. subtilis spores (RG 4365) were used for the exploration of the adjuvant activity. Balb/c mice were immunized by i.n and o.r route with TT or Ova combined with B. subtilis spores and specific antibody response in serum, saliva and fecal were measured by ELISA. This review showed the existence of several papers using B. subtilis spores as adjuvant by different methodologies and administration routes, being the expression of recombinant antigens and the the o.r route the most widely used. In our work we found an increase of seric response of IgG, subclass IgG1 and IgG2a and specific IgA in saliva and feces in groups immunized with spores coadministered with Ova and TT by both routes, which was significantly superior to control groups (p<0.05). These data suggest that spores are an efficient mucosal and systemic adjuvant for enhancing humoral immune responses and highlight their clinical potential for future mucosal vaccines.Fil: Tub Chafer, Fabiana.

Developmental and environmental effects on the assembly of glutenin polymers and the impact on grain quality of wheat
No full textWheat kernel development can be divided into three phases i.e. cell division, cell enlargement and dehydration. Accumulation of gluten proteins continues till the end of the cell enlargement phase. During the dehydration phase, post-translational polymerization of the glutenin subunits occurs to form very large glutenin polymers. Assembly of the glutenin polymers has been monitored by increase in the unextractable polymeric protein. Lines possessing HMW-GS related to dough strength (e.g. 5+10) started accumulating large polymers several days earlier than lines with HMW-GS related to dough weakness (e.g. 2+12) and maintained their higher amounts till maturity. This may be explained by faster polymerization resulting from a higher concentration of cysteine residues in the x-type HMW-GS.
Sulphur deficiency leads to an increase in the ratio of HMW- to LMW-GS, causing a shift in the MWD to higher MWs, resulting in bucky dough properties. High temperature during grain development appears to shift the MWD to lower MWs with corresponding lowering of dough strength but the presence of strength-associated HMW-GS appears to confer greater tolerance to heat stress. Since sulphur deficiency and higher global temperatures may be expected to increase in the future, some suggestions how breeders may use strategies to counter these effects are put forward
The Furniture of John and Hugh Finlay
No full textThis thesis seeks to assess the stylistic evolution of Baltimore furniture makers John and Hugh Finlay. The brothers, who were active from 1803 to 1841, manufactured fanciful painted furniture for a wide variety of clientele. The Finlays’ imaginative furnishings made their way up and down the east coast, into the Madison’s White House, and even across the Atlantic to Europe. The brothers distinguished themselves from their competition by combining traditional Baltimore “fancy” furniture and a European aesthetic. Although many people today are unfamiliar with the Finlay brothers, their furniture lingers in the American consciousness. By analyzing samples of their work, the author intends to give a more nuanced picture of the Finlays and their work
