Longevity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum sclerotia on the soil surface under field conditions
Authors: Brustolin Ricardo , Reis Erlei Melo , Pedron Lucas
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT The longevity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum sclerotia was quantified in an experiment carried out in the field. Sclerotia naturally formed in soybean plants in an infested commercial field were collected in a grain-cleaning machine and those present in the stem pith, with c.a. 8 mm in length and 1.9 mm in diameter were selected. Fifty sclerotia were kept inside a white nylon mesh (0.25mm) screen bag (25 x 25cm). Eighty bags were laid on the soil surface-simulating no till farming. At monthly intervals, four bags were taken and brought to the laboratory. Sclerotia were washed with tap water and surface desinfested with sodium hypochlorite and exposed to germinate on sterilized moist river sand in a growth chamber at 15oC and 12h photoperiod. After 12 months, sclerotia kept on the soil surface, lost their viability. It may be concluded that under no till, crop rotation with nonsusceptible crops, can reduce the sclerotia bank in the soil.

RESUMO O cultivo axênico apresenta-se como uma ferramenta importante para estudos relacionados à biologia, patogenicidade e manutenção de culturas puras de espécies biotróficas. Portanto, o presente trabalho objetivou analisar o crescimento in vitro de urediniósporos de Puccinia psidii, utilizando meios de culturas enriquecidos, que obtiveram êxito para o cultivo axênico de outras ferrugens. Componentes como sais, aminoácidos, carboidratos e vitaminas foram selecionados para o preparo de três meios de cultura enriquecidos: ASZV Kuck (10), SH Schenk & Hildebrandt (21) e HG Harvey & Grasham (7), modificados. Comparativamente, elaboraram-se meios enriquecidos a partir de folhas de jambeiro (FJ), em quatro concentrações: 0,5; 1,0; 3,0 e 5,0 g L-1 (gramas de folhas para cada litro de água destilada). Neste estudo foi constatado apenas o primeiro estágio de crescimento fúngico, crescimento dos tubos germinativos, não apresentando continuação no desenvolvimento do patógeno. Os meios de cultura enriquecidos que propiciaram maior crescimento do tubo germinativo de P. psidii foram os meios ASZV, HG e FJ na concentração 0,5 g L-1.

ABSTRACT Pruning guava trees at different times is an important management tool that allows year-long staggering of fruit production. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the phenological characteristics, yield and fruit quality of the 'Paluma' guava tree at different pruning times in Botucatu, SP. The study used a completely randomized design with four treatments, four replicates and a useful experimental plot plant. The treatments consisted of four different pruning times, August 27, September 11, September 26 and October 11. The following phenological phases were evaluated: branch establishment, flowering, early fruiting, fruit ripening and harvesting. It was determined the number of flower buds, fixed fruits and fixation index fruit were determined. The fruit growth curve was obtained by measuring the transverse and longitudinal diameter. At the time of harvest, the number of fruits per plant, yield and productivity were measured. In the harvested fruits, the fresh mass, the transverse and longitudinal diameter, the flesh and core thickness, the flesh and core mass, soluble solids, titratable acidity and pH were determined. The 'Paluma' guava trees pruned in August showed higher phenological stage durations than the other pruning times; however, those pruned in early September showed higher fixation index fruit, fruit yield and better physical characteristics. The guava trees pruned in August showed lower titratable acidity values and higher soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio.

ABSTRACT Powdery mildew of wheat (Triticum spp.) caused by Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici (DC) E.O. Speer Em. Marchal is one of the most important bread wheat diseases in Egypt. All the Egyptian common bread wheat cultivars are susceptible to that disease at seedling and adult stages. Breeding of resistant cultivars is the most economical and environmentally safe method to eliminate the disease and reduce crop losses. Combinations of two or more effective resistance genes may lead to better, more durable resistance to that disease. Eight Pm genes i.e. Pm2, Pm6, Pm12, Pm16, Pm24, Pm35, Pm36 and Pm37 out of 21 powdery mildew monogenic wheat lines (Pm) were resistant to 42 individual isolates of powdery mildew collected from different governorates in the Nile Delta area, Egypt, at seedling and adult stages. Only four DNA specific SSR markers (Xgwm337, Xcfd7 linked to Pm24, Pm35 and Xgwm332, Xwmc790) linked to Pm37 resistance genes were selected to detect these genes in 13 Egyptian common bread wheat cultivars. This study reveals the absence of Pm24, Pm35 and Pm37 in all the 13 Egyptian bread wheat cultivars. These results gave evidence that the Egyptian cultivars are not having resistance genes and need to further incorporate one, two or more resistant genes in a single genotype as all commercial cultivars defeated by the pathogen.

Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT Syngonanthus elegans is an endangered plant species occurring in the Brazilian Cerrado whose interaction with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is poorly understood. The aim of this work was to evaluate the occurrence of AMF species and mycorrhizal colonization of S. elegans in two sampling areas named "Soberbo" stream (Soberbo) and "Parque Nacional das Sempre-Vivas" (Park), both found in Diamantina-MG, Brazil. In each area, one plot (100 x 100 m) was established, and roots and soil samples near the roots were collected from 10 plants in each plot. Further sampling included three specimens each of Loudetiopsis chrysothrix and Xyris sp.. Typical mycorrhizal colonization structures were observed in S. elegans roots, and colonization was measured at 75%. Considering both sites and all three hosts, 26 AMF species were recovered, 8 of which were identified only at the genus level. Glomus sp. 1, Scutellospora pernambucana, Acaulospora cavernata and Acaulospora mellea were classified as dominant in both areas. Other species were also considered dominant, including Glomus sp. 4 in Soberbo and Dentiscutata biornata and Gigaspora albida in Park. Trap cultures revealed the presence of seven additional species. For S. elegans, AMF species richness was slightly higher in Park than in Soberbo. Simpson diversity and evenness were slightly higher in Soberbo for S. elegans-associated AMF communities. Overall, S. elegans is highly colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and is associated with a wide range of AMF species in the field, suggesting that this association is important for the establishment and survival of this threatened species. Some of the observed species may be new to science.
Método variacional aplicado ao estudo de um gás de átomos de Fermi em um estado superfluido aprisionados por uma rede óptica quase periódica

Published: June 2016

Neste trabalho, nós consideramos um modelo derivado da densidade de um gás de Fermi em um estado superfluido BCS, aprisionado por uma rede óptica quase periódica unidimensional. Reduzindo a equação em 3D para 1D, construímos famílias de gaps sólitons estáveis (GSs) utilizando aproximações variacionais. No limite linear a aproximação variacional prediz exatamente a posição da banda de Bloch que separam os primeiros gaps. Através da aproximação variacional, mostramos a possibilidade de que a não linearidade efetiva atuando em combinação com o potencial de uma rede quase periódica em uma dimensão, permite o surgimento de gaps sólitons iluminados. Variando a amplitude da rede óptica, analisamos a existência e estabilidade dos gaps sólitons iluminados usando um ansatz gaussiano. Os gaps sólitons são estáveis diante de pequenas variações da rede óptica quase periódica. Este artigo pode ser utilizado como um guia de aprendizagem no estudo de átomos frios; estudantes são incentivados a realizarem os cálculos para outros valores de amplitude da rede óptica.
Política exterior ecuatoriana durante la guerra del Pacífico: un análisis desde la óptica de los equilibrios de poder en la región latinoamericana
Authors: Figueroa Claudio Andrés Tapia
Published: June 2016

Resumen La guerra del Pacífico (1879-1884) que enfrentó a Perú y Bolivia contra de Chile, representa un conflicto armado marcado por las políticas realistas de imponer el interés nacional, frente a otros Estados, alterando el equilibrio político regional, bajo la justificación de las reivindicaciones territoriales. Esta política no sólo afectó a los beligerantes, sino que a otros países que pudieron sumarse en la confrontación buscando cambiar su status quo. Ecuador representa esta consideración, en cuanto a que su participación pudo consolidar su frontera sur con Perú, pendiente desde de la emancipación. ¿Fue la debilidad política interna la que no permitió concretar una posible intervención? En las siguientes páginas se estudiará este proceso histórico, desde la óptica del realismo clásico presente en las relaciones internacionales, donde el escenario interno de un país, es determinante en la proyección de su política exterior.
Avaliação do processo produtivo de polvilho azedo em indústrias de Santa Catarina
Authors: Aquino Ana Carolina Moura de Sena , Gervin Vanessa Maria , Amante Edna Regina
Published: June 2016

Resumo O polvilho azedo apresenta um sabor típico, com características diferentes do amido nativo de mandioca. É utilizado, por exemplo, na produção de biscoitos e de pães de queijo, produtos de grande aceitação sensorial no Brasil. Nas últimas décadas, o polvilho perdeu mercado nacional, devido, principalmente, à falta de padrão de suas características tecnológicas, bem como pela substituição deste amido naturalmente modificado por amidos quimicamente modificados, como o modificado por ácido. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar as condições do processo produtivo de polvilho azedo em polvilharias de Santa Catarina e caracterizar as amostras coletadas nessas unidades. As amostras apresentaram umidade variando de 11,12 a 15,06 g.100 g–1, pH de 3,11 a 4,82, acidez total titulável de 1,66 a 7,05 mL de NaOH 1 mol.L–1/100 g, volume específico de 5,15 a 10,93 mL.g–1, além das diferenças observadas quanto às concentrações de ácidos orgânicos, propriedades de pasta e outras propriedades de expansão. Os resultados confirmaram a falta de padronização envolvida nas etapas da produção do polvilho azedo, sendo que as condições de fermentação e a secagem são as mais críticas para a qualidade do produto final.

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um relato de experiência de profissional da área da Psicologia, dentro de uma Unidade de Internação de adolescentes em conflito com a lei. Ainda pretendeu-se relacionar práticas restaurativas com possibilidade de experiência exitosa ao sistema socioeducativo. O relato tem como cenário uma unidade de Atendimento Socioeducativo de uma cidade no interior do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados obtidos são frutos da experiência profissional da autora e fazem parte de um estudo maior intitulado “Um Estudo dos Fatores de Risco e de Proteção em Jovens que Cumprem Medida Socioeducativa”. Os resultados mostraram que as práticas restaurativas realizadas nesta instituição foram apenas os círculos de compromisso. O tema da Justiça Restaurativa (JR), por ser novo e por não ter sido originalmente um modelo criado no cenário brasileiro, ainda é difícil de avaliar possíveis resultados e impactos. As experiências apresentadas sugerem que há possibilidade da JR ser uma experiência exitosa para o Sistema Socioeducativo. Indica-se a necessidade de realização de mais pesquisas com relação a essa temática.

Resumo O presente estudo investigou a produção científica sobre o Teste Desenho da Figura Humana, entre os anos de 2002 e 2012. Foram focalizados 14 periódicos, nos quais se analisaram 39 artigos com base em alguns critérios estabelecidos por Witter e outros considerados relevantes pela autora. Os dados evidenciaram um aumento das publicações a partir de 2006, sendo o ano de 2006 o mais profícuo. Observou-se que o relato de pesquisa foi a forma mais utilizada e que Sudeste foi a região que mais publicou nesse período. Houve ainda a predominância da autoria múltipla e feminina, bem como de pesquisas aplicadas aos contextos escolar e clínico. O sistema de avaliação mais utilizado foi o Koppitz, representando 28,2% da amostra. Verificou-se, ainda, que os tipos de evidência mais frequentes foram: validade de construto convergente-discriminante e precisão entre avaliadores. Tais resultados evidenciam a necessidade de estudos que busquem sanar as lacunas aqui detectadas.

Published: June 2016

Resumo Este artigo busca refletir sobre a dualidade entre soma e psique, que tende a obscurecer a unidade originária a partir da qual esses dois entes podem aparecer e serem compreendidos. Em seguida, conduz o leitor para uma compreensão crítica, lidando com aspectos da tradição em psicossomática e com base na fenomenologia-hermenêutica de Martin Heidegger e na Daseinsanalyse de Medard Boss. Tanto o filósofo alemão quanto o psiquiatra suíço operam não somente a desconstrução da ótica tradicional, mas também do próprio conceito de psicossomática. Mostram que o modo de acesso ao fenômeno produz a dicotomia, sendo, portanto, necessário modificá-lo a fim de apreender o que está em jogo no problema do corpo e do adoecer, isto é, a própria existência do homem que se revela todo o tempo através do corporar (Leiben), que é sempre gesto. Este último significa, em Heidegger, toda expressão do homem, indissociável de seu existir no mundo como Dasein. Este estudo tem a expectativa de contribuir na busca de outros fundamentos para a prática do cuidado psicológico em saúde.

USING EXPERT JUDGMENTS TO RANK 45 LATIN AMERICAN BUSINESS JOURNALS
Authors: Olavarrieta Sergio
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT This article presents the results of a study on the perception of quality of Latin American business journals based on the judgment of relevant experts - senior professors with knowledge of Latin American research and journals. Forty-five journals were included in the study. The highest perceived quality scores were given to Academia (CLADEA - Uniandes), RAE (Fundação Getulio Vargas), and Innovar (Universidad Nacional de Colombia). When perceived quality was weighted by awareness, Academia, LABR-Latin American Business Review (University of San Diego - Coppead), and Innovar had the highest scores. Results complement a recent study by Ruiz-Torres, Penkova, and Villafane (2012) that focused on management journals published in Spanish. Analysis of results suggests that language and branding have an effect on the perception of journal quality. Implications for editors/publishers, tenure, promotion, research grant committees, and authors are provided.
IMPACT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION ON STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AND THE ROLE OF TOP MANAGEMENT
Authors: Oliveira Junior Antonio Benedito de , Borini Felipe Mendes , Bernardes Roberto Carlos , Oliveira Mauro José de
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT The management literature draws attention to the gap of strategic alliances (SA) in the paradigm of entrepreneurial orientation (EO). The aim of this paper is to propose a model where EO is associated with SA, this relationship being influenced by its predecessor (top management), and EO working as a multidimensional construct. Data collected from 101 Brazilian firms were analyzed using structural equation modeling and supported those hypotheses. Improving firms' EO, particularly risk taking (RT), is important in order to promote SA. Obviously, top management can influence SA, but firms with an RT competence are more likely to promote SAs and conduct their implementation. Therefore, the present study offers the following contributions: (1) consolidating the EO construct by using it in a multidimensional way in a reflexive model, particularly the risk dimension; (2) advancing studies relating EO and SA by showing that top management has a significant influence on the EO-SA relationship; (3) the model used is robust and representative of the field of strategy and entrepreneurship as it explained 25.5% of the EO-SA relationship; (4) we suggest that EO should be used to increase SA and firm performance, which can reduce entrance barriers and business risks, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Published: June 2016

The objective of this study was to evaluate weed control, crop yields, potential soil loss, and net returns to management of an integrated weed management system in no-till corn and soybean compared to an herbicide-based strategy. The integrated weed management system reduced herbicide inputs by delayed cover crop termination, herbicide banding, and high-residue cultivation (reduced herbicide [RH]), while the other system used continuous no-tillage and herbicides to control weeds (standard herbicide [SH]). Research was conducted within the Penn State Sustainable Dairy Cropping Systems Experiment, where corn and soybean are each planted once in a 6-yr crop rotation. In this 3-yr study, weed density and biomass were often greater under RH management, but weed biomass never exceeded 19 g m–2in corn and 21 g m–2in soybean. Corn yield and population did not differ in any year, and net returns to management were $33.65 ha–1higher in RH corn due to lower herbicide costs and slightly, though not significantly, higher yields. Soybean yield was lower in RH compared to SH in 2 of 3 yr, and was correlated with soybean population and cover crop residue. Net financial returns were $43.69 ha–1higher in SH soybean compared to RH. Predicted soil loss never exceeded T (maximum allowable soil loss) for any treatment and slope combination, though soil loss was 100% greater on a 10% slope under RH management (vs. SH) due to cultivation.

Published: June 2016

On March 11, 2016, after an expedited 5-month review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration expanded the crizotinib metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) indication to include the treatment of patients whose tumors harbor a ROS1 rearrangement. The approval was based on a clinically meaningful, durable objective response rate (ORR) in a multicenter, single-arm clinical trial (ROS1 cohort of Trial PROFILE 1001) in patients with ROS1-positive mNSCLC. The trial enrolled 50 patients (age range: 25–77 years) whose tumors were prospectively determined to have a ROS1 gene rearrangement by break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridization (96%) or reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (4%) clinical trial assays. Crizotinib demonstrated an ORR of 66% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 51%–79%) with a median duration of response of 18.3 months by independent radiology review and 72% (95% CI: 58%–84%) by investigator review. Patients received crizotinib 250 mg twice daily and had a median duration of exposure of 34.4 months. The toxicity profile in ROS1-positive patients was generally consistent with the randomized safety data in the U.S. Product Insert from two ALK-positive mNSCLC trials. The most common (≥25%) adverse reactions and laboratory test abnormalities included vision disorders, elevation of alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels, nausea, hypophosphatemia, diarrhea, edema, vomiting, constipation, neutropenia, and fatigue. There were no treatment-related deaths. A favorable benefit-to-risk evaluation led to the traditional approval of crizotinib for this new supplemental indication.

Published: June 2016

O ensino de fisiologia apresenta dificuldades em dois pontos importantes: 1. a fragmentação do estudo dos sistemas biológicos que dificulta a viso da integração sistêmica e do funcionamento do organismo. 2. a dificuldade que os estudantes apresentam para memorizar as estruturas anatômicas e relacionar com o seu funcionamento. Esses dois aspectos afastam o interesse dos alunos em aprender os conteúdos de fisiologia e, neste contexto, apresentamos o Fisio Card Game. Este jogo consiste na formação de grupos de cartas com relação fisiológica que objetiva aumentar a visão integrada entre os sistemas biológicos e auxiliar na memorização de termos encontrados neste conteúdo. Após a elaboração, o referido jogo didático foi aplicado para estudantes do terceiro ano do ensino médio e foram respondidos questionários que indicam que o jogo pode auxiliar nesses dois fatores e, portanto, pode ser usado como um facilitador no processo de ensino/aprendizado por despertar interesse nos alunos.

A aplicação de processos tecnológicos, como a desidratação por estufa e a atomização para a secagem e produção de um pó, vem sendo empregados para produção de farinha a partir de produtos vegetais. A remoção de umidade traz alguns benefícios ao produto, como na produção de farinha permitindo o reaproveitamento de vegetais não conformes, além da agregação do valor comercial ao produto, um maior tempo de prateleira e diminuição nos custos de estocagem e transporte do produto. A incorporação de farinha de vegetais como substituinte parcial da massa na panificação vem ganhando destaque nos últimos anos. Neste sentido, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica dos principais aspectos relacionados à aplicabilidade do processo de spray dryer em comparação ao de secagem por desidratação para a produção de farinha de vegetais.
Commentariorum de Bello Civili: o caso de Lérida
Authors: Klain Ygor
Published: June 2016

O presente artigo tem como objetivo estudar a comunicação durante um episódio específico das guerras civis entre César e Pompeu, conhecido como o cerco de Lérida (junho a outubro de 49 a.C.). Neste estudo, será dada atenção especial aos rumores como uma forma de notícia que era recebida pelas cidades ao entorno do conflito e que elas utilizavam para decidirem qual exército concederiam apoio na forma de alimentos e de soldados. Esta perspectiva parte da discussão sobre a dinâmica social dos rumores que empregamos em nossa tese de doutoramento em História Social, como uma forma de estabelecer um modelo de análise sobre este tipo de fenômeno em um conflito civil na antiguidade romana. A este objetivo acrescentamos a possibilidade de, através deste tipo de leitura, observar um universo social mais dinâmico sobre o cotidiano da guerra para além das batalhas entre os exércitos.
Civic Hackathons: New Terrain for Local Government-Citizen Interaction?
Authors: Robinson Pamela J. , Johnson Peter A.
Published: June 2016

As more and more governments share open data, tech developers respond by creating apps using these data to generate content or provide services that citizens may find useful. More recently, there is an increase in popularity of the civic hackathon. These time-limited events gather tech enthusiasts, government workers and interested citizens, in a collaborative environment to apply government open data in developing software applications that address issues of shared civic importance. Building on the Johnson and Robinson (2014) framework for understanding the civic hackathon phenomenon, Canadian municipal staff with civic hackathon experience were interviewed about their motivations for and benefits derived from participation in these events. Two broad themes emerged from these interviews. First, through the development of prototypical apps using municipal open data and other data sets, civic hackathons help put open data into public use. Second, civic hackathons provide government staff with valuable feedback about municipal open data sets informing and evolving future open data releases. This paper concludes with reflections for urban planners about how civic hackathons might be used in their practice and with recommendations for municipal staff considering using civic hackathons to add value to municipal open data.
Demandas técnico-táticas e fisiológicas de combates da luta olímpica
Authors: Miarka Bianka
Published: June 2016

Technical-tactical and physiological demand analyses of wrestling combats are important because they reveal essential information for the development of contextual training and specific physical preparation of wrestlers. Therefore, the aim of this review is to describe the characteristics of wrestling combats in freestyle, female and Greco-roman styles. The time-motion analysis presented in this article is the main component to carry out inferences on intensity and effort: pause ratio of combat actions. After rules modification in 2013, wrestling combats showed quicker and more diversified actions, especially in the lighter categories. For Greco-roman wrestling, most studies showed takedowns as the most effective techniques in World competitions for the period 2009-2011. For the same period, foot/leg techniques were the most effective in female and freestyle wrestling, followed by takedown attacks. Recent analyses, developed after 2013 rules modification, showed that the decisive offensive actions were applied on foot and in par terre situations – especially gutwrenches techniques and derivatives of suplex movements. The knowledge on the determinant and predominant actions of wrestling combats can be applied in future research, as well as can be used practically for training, physical preparation and assessments of similar combat actions. It also allows interventions to prevent injuries resulting from technical and tactical wrestling actions.

Persian archery manuals provide lots of useful information on shooting with a Persian composite bow. The main aim of this article is to provide, for the first time, a full annotated translation of an undated Persian archery manual written by Mohammad Zamān known as Čerāq Beg from the family of Kāmrān Beg Qarānāj. The manual is handwritten and consists of twenty four pages which include twelve chapters. Despite the occasional confusion, the obscure vocabulary, and the odd clumsy description, the text is a mine of information. It shows the continuity of the Persian archery tradition at least to the end of the eighteenth century and increases our knowledge of some of the details once commonplace that are now obscure. The gradual increase in our knowledge of Persian archery is progressing through the discovery and translation of works like this one of Mohammad Zamān. Such manuals introduce new techniques and also confirm the pervasiveness of the basic forms of this ancient art.

Bioavailability Improvement Strategies for Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs Based on the Supersaturation Mechanism: An Update
Authors: Yang Meiyan , Gong Wei , Wang Yuli , Shan Li , Li Ying , Gao Chunsheng
Published: June 2016

The formulation development for poorly soluble drugs still remains a challenge. Supersaturating drug delivery systems (SDDS) or drug delivery systems based on supersaturating provide a promising way to improve the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. In supersaturable formulations, drug concentration exceeds the equilibrium solubility when exposed to gastrointestinal fluids, and the supersaturation state is maintained long enough to be absorbed, resulting in compromised bioavailability. In this article, the mechanism of generating and maintaining supersaturation and the evaluation methods of supersaturation assays are discussed. Recent advances in different drug delivery systems based on supersaturating are the focus and are discussed in detail.This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.

The Practice of Supporting International Students Learning English in Canada: Grounding Decisions in Evidence and Lived Experience
Authors: Carter Alanna
Published: June 2016

This paper is a response to the language, learning, and life needs of the increasing number of international students studying in Canada. In addition to introducing two “real-life” international students who chose to live in Canada to learn English and otherwise study, the paper presents what the literature tells us about: international students in general; culture shock and acculturation; the struggle of international students for identity, based on the International Student Identity model; and mental health issues among this learner group. It then juxtaposes key themes found in the literature with the life experiences of the aforementioned students. Implications for students, extracurricular and preparatory program planners, and classroom instructors are shared. Given the role of many continuing education centres in providing ESL instruction and supports, the paper holds particular value for educators and administrators in the continuing education sector.

El género Fusarium es un patógeno asociado al marchitamiento del chile y con reducción del rendimiento del cultivo. Las rizobacterias son una alternativa para mejorar la producción agrícola y protección contra  fitopatógenos. En el presente estudio se evaluó el antagonismo in vitro de diez cepas de Bacillus contra Fusarium equiseti ITCF1 y F. solani ITCF2, todas la cepas bacterianas inhibieron el crecimiento micelial entre 21.28 y 71.70 %, adicionalmente las cepas CBMT2 y CBMT51 presentaron halos de inhibición contra F. equiseti con halos de 3.76 y 6.37 mm. Los dos patógenos mostraron  100 % de incidencia de la enfermedad en plántulas de chile habanero y severidad de 90.0 % por F. solani y 77.5 % por F. equiseti. En pruebas de resistencia a la marchitez se utilizaron cuatro cepas de Bacillus con base en la actividad antagónica mostrada, se realizaron tres inoculaciones en la base del tallo a los 15, 28 y 35 días después de la germinación, se obtuvo que B. subtilis CBMT51 y B. cereus BL18 redujeron la severidad de la enfermedad ocasionada por F. equiseti y la cepa BL18 para F. solani, en un 47.7, 37.8 y 50.9 % respectivamente a los 28 días de la evaluación.
Wash, Wash, Wash Your Hands! by D. Mason
Authors: Borle Sean
Published: June 2016

Mason, David I.A.  Wash, Wash, Wash Your Hands! Illus. Dan Widdowson. Mancato, MN:  Cantata Learning, 2016.  Print.Many children successfully wash their hands while singing the “ABC” song or other familiar songs, so one wonders if the world needs another hand washing song.  This book provides the lyrics to the song over cartoon images and also comes with a CD of the song.  Dan Widdowson’s images of the anthropomorphized monkey and alligator are bright and small children will enjoy them.  David I.A. Mason’s lyrics could use some polish.  At one point, they read, “1, 2, fast-forward now! 18, 19, 20!”  Since the song encourages children to wash their hands to a count of 20, encouraging them to short-cut through the count does not seem like a good educational technique. What saves this book from the mediocre is the music on the CD.  The music, arranged and produced by Mark Oblinger, is a catchy jazz rendition with bass and percussion and an excellent, but unidentified vocalist.  The score is printed in the back of the book and is simple enough that parents with rudimentary musical knowledge will be able to play it.  The song is much longer than the minimum recommendation of 20 seconds for hand washing and would be hard for a small child to remember. However, the chorus is memorable and will stick in children’s minds.  If children sing the chorus twice while they wash hands that should be enough time to kill germs. Overall, the music is good, but the book could have been better with stronger writing.  Recommended for public libraries and elementary school libraries. Recommended: 3 stars out of 4Reviewer:  Sean Borle
Nuptse & Lhotse Go to Iceland by J. Asnong
Authors: Wheeler Lauren
Published: June 2016

Asnong, Jocey. Nuptse & Lhotse Go to Iceland. Victoria, BC: Rocky Mountain Books, 2015. Print.The sibling cats, Nuptse & Lhotse, are back for a saga inspired adventure to Iceland.  Author / Illustrator Jocey Asnong creates a story that mirrors the form of 10th and 11th century Icelandic sagas. Characters are named in the saga tradition, Thorse the Galloper mimics Erik the Red, and the narrative arch incorporates challenges the cats must complete before coming to the end of their saga and return a Viking helmet to Katla the Fire-breather.  The challenges pay tribute to many of the unique aspects of Icelandic culture, language, animals, and geography, creating a story that is as educational as it is entertaining. Nuptse & Lhotse Go to Iceland, like the previous book Nuptse & Lhotse Go to the Rockies, uses illustrations rich with extra details to supplement the text of the story.  A map at the beginning sets the stage for the tour of Iceland the cats take while decoding runic letters. The characters and places are situated using the unique visual images of the land and culture of Iceland.  For instance, the character of Lopi the Sweatermaker is introduced sitting on a hill made of balls of yarn, by a distinctive cliffs of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, with Lopapeysa sweaters strung about; the same sweaters are worn by characters throughout the book.  There is even a sly reference to Canada’s Icelandic connections in a Huldufolk named Gimli.Nuptse & Lhotse Go to Iceland is an excellent book to introduce children to Iceland and teach them a little bit about the language, culture, and geography unique to the deceptively named island.Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Lauren WheelerLauren Wheeler is a Program Lead at the Alberta Museums Association.

Evolution of the contents in soluble phenolic compounds, in proanthocyanic tanins and in anthocyanins of shot grape berries of Vitis vinifera L. during their development
Authors: Cholet Céline , Darné Gérard
Published: June 2016

The skin of berries of black, red, grey and pink cultivars of Vitis vinifera L. contain anthocyanins and tanins. High pression liquid chromatographic studies of anthocyanins in normal berries of black cultivars (Cabernet- Sauvignon and Merlot noir) permit to show clearly that the synthesis of these pigments starts early in the skins, about three weeks before veraison. Acylated anthocyanins are also present at this stage and they have a similar evolution than no acylated anthocyanins.

On the contrary, proanthocyanic tanins contents of skins and seeds decrease from the first stage of veraison, initially rapidly then more slowly until the maturity. In grape seeds, the final proanthocyanic tanins content keeps the same whatever the year (DARNÉ, 1991).

In case of «millerandage», some berries have not a regular development and stay very small until the maturity. A lot of these shot grape berries stay green with no viable seeds. Others shot grape berries become pink or red but stay small.

That is why three sorts of shot grape berries of Vitis vinifera are studied : small berries 3 mm in diameter, medium berries from 4 to 6 mm in diameter that stay green until maturity and the medium berries from 4 to 7 mm in diameter which change in color during maturation. Their polyphenolic biochemical evolution was compared with that of normal berries. Polyphenolic metabolism of shot grape berries was not modified, but it was just delayed or blocked. The small berries keep the polyphenolic characteristics of normal berries just after the fruit-setting ; the green medium berries cease evolving approximately one month after the fruit-setting, with maturity, these green medium berries have the characteristic polyphenolic of normal berries in the course of growth (between stages K - L) ; the red medium berries are the only shot grape berries which evolve throughout development of the bunch, but with a delay from approximately 1 month compared to normal berries.
The influence of yeast glycosylated proteins on tannins aggregation in model solution
Authors: Charpentier Claudine , Escot Sandra , Gonzalez Emmanuel , Dulau Laurent , Feuillat Michel
Published: June 2016

The incidence of glycosylated yeast proteins on tannins aggregation in model solution was investigated using the spectrophotometric method (absorbance 700 nm). Glycosylated proteins released by two commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains (RC212 and BM 45) during alcoholic fermentation in synthetic media, glycosylated proteins extracted by Peat’s method and industrial glycosylated proteins purified and separated by chromatography on Sepharose Concanavalin A were used to visualize effects on tannins aggregation. Results showed that tannins aggregation was limited by the glycosylated proteins according to their origin and their mode of preparation, glycosylated protein BM45 released during alcoholic fermentation in synthetic media being the most efficient. The use of mannan from yeast indicated that the polysaccharidic fraction of glycosylated proteins was efficient on tannins aggregation but at a lower level than glycosylated proteins. In the stabilisation of tannins, glycosylated proteins with a mannose / glucose ratio close to one were more efficient than the others. The present work suggests i) that the proteic fraction of glycosylated protein is likely a link between tannins and the polysaccharidic fraction of glycosylated protein, ii) that the conformation of a glycosylated protein is more or less likely to stabilise tannins, according to the mannose/glucose ratio.
Racking are key stages for the microbial stabilization of wines
Authors: Renouf Vincent , Lonvaud-Funel Aline
Published: June 2016

This study aims to understand the effect on micro-organism of racking when the wine is aged in barrels. According to the kind of micro-organism, the effects are different. Bacteria are stimulated by oxygen and their population increases. Yeasts are concentrated to the bottom of the barrel. Between two successive racking a yeast population gradient was established. Yeast cells which are larger and heavier than bacteria cells and they are deposited on the barrel bottom with other wine micro-particles. In some cases, the yeast population at the bottom was more than thousand times than at the wine surface. Moreover, the species identified at different heights in the barrel were different. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was the main yeast detected at the surface, whereas Brettanomyces bruxellensis was the main yeast lees. After racking yeast population decreases because they are eliminated with the lees during the operation. Among them, Brettanomyces bruxellensis was the majority. Since they are able to produce volatile phenols, their preservation in the barrel can lead to the alteration of the wine. Indeed, the ability of the lees to produce volatile phenols was clearly established. The importance of regular racking for microbial wine stabilization is evident. The risks of «sur lies» wine aging and sticking’s operations are underlined.
