Post-steam-treatment is a facile and effective method for improving the catalytic performances of Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts in methane dehydroaromatization under nonoxidative conditions. The treatment can enhance the stability of the catalyst and also give a higher methane conversion and a higher yield of light aromatics, as well as a decrease in the formation rate of carbonaceous deposits. (27)Al, (29)Si, and (1)H multinuclear magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis measurements as well as catalytic reaction evaluations were employed to conduct comparative studies on the properties of the catalysts before and after the post-steam-treatment. The results revealed that the number of free Bronsted acid sites per unit cell decreased, while more Mo species migrated into the HZSM-5 channels for the 6Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts after the post-steam-treatment. In addition, the average pore diameter was also larger for the post-steam-treated catalysts, and this was advantageous for mass transport of the reaction products. However, a severe post-steam-treatment, i.e., with longer treating time, of the 6Mo/HZSM-5 catalyst will lead to the formation of the Al(2)(MoO(4))(3) phases, which is detrimental to the reaction.

This recording dissertation surveys post-1945 literature written for piano trio (violin, violoncello and piano) by ten Danish composers. The literature was first considered for inclusion by searching a database provided by the Danish Music Information Center (www.mic.dk). Scores were rented from the publisher Edition Wilhelm Hansen AS, or purchased from the publisher Samfundet til Udgivelse af Dansk Musik. An additional score published by Viking Musikforlag was used as well. The music was then studied and evaluated for selection. During the selection process, the following criteria were considered: 1) quality of the compositions; 2) recognition of the composers at the national or international level; 3) whether the compositions had been previously recorded; and 4) variety of compositional styles. The selected works are written by Niels Viggo Bentzon, Vagn Holmboe, Anders Koppel, Herman D. Koppel, Bent Lorentzen, Anders Nordentoft, Per Norgard, Michael Nyvang, Karl Aage Rasmussen, and Poul Rovsing Olsen. The selected compositions were practiced, rehearsed, and performed under direct supervision of the composers and other expert musicians. In order to better understand the compositional style of each composer, relevant books, articles, and recordings were researched and studied. This recording dissertation is supported by a written document. A subjective preference for program balance was exercised to determine the order of recorded works. The written document is divided into chapters defined by composer, following the order of the recorded document, which include the composers' biographies and notes referring to the recorded compositions. The recording took place at the Manzius Gaarden, Birkerod, Denmark during three sessions: July 31-August 2, 2002, March 2 and 3, 2003, and June 2-4, 2003. The music for this dissertation was recorded by the members of the Jalina Trio; Line Fredens, violin, Janne Fredens, cello and Natsuki Fukasawa, piano. Aksel Trige, a well-respected recording engineer, was engaged for the recording and editing. Additionally, a Hamburg Steinway concert grand piano was rented and a Joseph Guarnerius filius Andreas Cremona violin (1706) was provided by the Augustinus Fonden, Denmark. The cellist used her own instrument, Vuillaume of Paris (c. 1850). The expense of this recording was partially paid by generous grants from the Augustinus Fonden, the Solist Foreningen af 1921, and the Dansk Musikerforbunds Kollective Rettighedsmidler. The compositions selected for this recording dissertation are assumed to be previously unrecorded, with the exception of Poul Rovsing Olsen's Trio II.

El éxito de Digitaria sanguinalis en los cultivos estivales de la Argentina se debe en gran medida al establecimiento de varias cohortes a lo largo del ciclo del cultivo, lo que le permite escapar a los controles químicos. El establecimiento de las plántulas depende de factores ambientales pre-dispersión (competitivos y no competitivos), a través de los efectos maternos, y post-dispersión (no competitivos). A su vez, los efectos predispersión competitivos también afectan la fecundidad de las plantas. Por lo tanto, comprender los efectos de las interacciones dentro del sistema cultivo-maleza sería de utilidad para diseñar estrategias de manejo más efectivas de la maleza. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo general i) determinar los efectos pre-dispersión que genera el cultivo de soja sobre el crecimiento, la estructura, la fecundidad y la dormición de semillas de biotipos locales de D. sanguinalis, y ii) los efectos post-dispersión que genera el ambiente en el que se encuentran las semillas condicionando el establecimiento de las plántulas en la campaña siguiente. Para cumplir con estos objetivos se realizaron experimentos i) en cámara evaluando los efectos de la temperatura, luz y humedad y el rol de las cubiertas en la imposición de la dormición, ii) en parcelas a campo combinando la presencia del cultivo con distintas distancias entre surcos, los grupos de madurez y los "gaps", iii) en macetas a campo evaluando los efectos del sombreo, la fertilidad edáfica y la luz roja y azul y iv) en parcelas a campo combinando la cobertura del suelo (rastrojo), el tiempo de permanencia de las semillas en el suelo, la presencia del cultivo de soja y el nivel de dormición de las semillas al momento de su dispersión. Temperaturas frescas (5ºC a 20ºC) y humedad, seguidas de temperaturas alternadas (20/30ºC) con luz fueron las mejores condiciones para la salida y la terminación de la dormición de las semillas, respectivamente. Dicha dormición está determinada por las cubiertas de las semillas, principalmente por la lemma y, aparentemente por el efecto de inhibidores presentes en ella. El cultivo de soja modificó el ambiente en el que crecen las plantas de la maleza al alterar la radiación incidente, la relación R-RL, la temperatura y la humedad relativa reduciendo la biomasa, la altura, el número de vástagos, la fecundidad de las plantas y el nivel de dormición de las semillas de D. sanguinalis. El nivel de dormición fue afectado por la temperatura máxima, la alternancia de temperatura y la radiación incidente en estadios reproductivos de la maleza, en cambio la fertilidad edáfica, la luz azul y rojo lejano no tuvieron ningún efecto. Por otra parte, el rastrojo de soja o de maíz, no modificó la salida de la dormición pero retrasó la terminación de la misma por la disminución en la alternancia de las temperaturas, retrasando la germinación y la emergencia de la maleza en la campaña siguiente. Semillas con distinto nivel de dormición en el momento de dispersión, tuvieron distintos valores de emergencia en la campaña siguiente cuando la temperatura no fue lo suficientemente baja como para reducir los niveles de dormición de toda la población. La presencia de un cultivo de soja junto con la presencia de rastrojo de soja o maíz, redujeron la emergencia de las plántulas a campo debido, en parte, al efecto de la menor alternancia de temperaturas. Los resultados de esta tesis permiten determinar cómo la estructura del cultivo de soja modifica el establecimiento de plántulas de D. sanguinalis en la campaña siguiente, a través de su efecto sobre el ambiente pre y postdispersión, afectando la salida y la terminación de la dormición y por lo tanto la emergencia de la maleza.

La carne de jabalí es apreciada por sus características organolépticas y nutricionales. El principal consumidor es Europa (Italia, Alemania y Francia) , seguido por Japón. En Argentina, esta especie se adaptó en gran parte del territorio y a diferentes situaciones ecológicas. Asimismo, la crianza en cautiverio, aprovechamiento, elaboración, distribución, precios y características nutricionales no son de amplio conocimiento. El propósito de este trabajo es realizar un diagnóstico del sistema de agronegocios del jabalí en Argentina a fin de identificar los puntos fuertes y débiles y a partir de allí, proponer acciones para dar soluciones a las problemáticas actuales. Se utiliza como metodología el abordaje de la epistemología fenomenológica y el método EPESA, lo cual permite contar con abordaje amplio y sistémico del agronegocio bajo análisis. También, se utiliza el marco teórico de la nueva economía institucional, siguiendo el abordaje de Joskow y sus tres vías de aproximación. Si bien es una producción que posee ventajas comparativas (clima, suelo, extensión, alimento) que permitirían el desarrollo productivo y comercial del sistema, se observa que la informalidad limita la implementación de planteos productivos con mayores niveles de tecnología, registros y datos genéticos, lo que imposibilita la exportación. Por otra parte, existe un problema de reglamentaciones con respecto a la faena, dado que debe ser aprobada por FAUNA y por SENASA, teniendo distintos requerimientos y tiempos de carga y transporte. Esto genera incompatibilidades para la comercialización formal, incentivando a transacciones ilegales, baja transparencia, oportunismo ex ante y ex post de las transacciones y altos costos de transacción. Dado este ambiente de negocios descripto, las empresas bajo estudio en general trabajan con nichos de mercado y no tienen un panorama de ampliación productiva y comercial. Por tanto, la mejora del ambiente institucional es la primera acción a seguir a fin de vencer las limitaciones mencionadas.

Trust is a complex concept that has increasingly been debated in academic research (Kramer and Tyler, 1996). Research on 'trust and leadership' (Caldwell and Hayes, 2007) has suggested, unsurprisingly, that leadership behaviours influence 'follower' perceptions of leaders' trustworthiness. The development of 'ethical stewardship' amongst leaders may foster high trust situations (Caldwell, Hayes, Karri and Bernal, 2008), yet studies on the erosion of teacher professionalism in UK post-compulsory education have highlighted the distrust that arguably accompanies 'new managerialism', performativity and surveillance within a climate of economic rationalisation established by recent deterministic skills-focused government agendas for education (Avis, 2003; Codd, 1999, Deem, 2004, DFES, 2006). Given the shift from community to commercialism identified by Collinson and Collinson (2005) in a global economic environment characterised by uncertainty and rapid change, trust is, simultaneously, increasingly important and progressively both more fragile and limited in a post compulsory education sector dominated by skills-based targets and inspection demands. Building on such prior studies, this conference paper reports on the analysis of findings from a 2007-8 funded research study on 'trust and leadership' carried out in post-compulsory education. The research project collected and analysed case study interview and survey data from the lifelong learning sector, including selected tertiary, further and higher education (FE and HE) institutions. We interviewed 18 UK respondents from HE and FE, including principals, middle managers, first line managers, lecturers and researchers, supplementing and cross-checking this with a small number of survey responses (11) on 'trust and leadership' and a larger number (241) of survey responses on more generalised leadership issues in post-compulsory education. A range of facilitators and enablers of trust and their relationship to leadership were identified and investigated. The research analysed the ways in which interviewees defined the concept of 'trust' and the extent to which they identified that trust was a mediating factor affecting leadership and organisational performance. Prior literature indicates that trust involves a psychological state in which, despite dependency, risk and vulnerability, trustors have some degree of confident expectation that trustees will behave in benevolent rather than detrimental ways. The project confirmed the views of prior researchers (Mayer, Davis and Schoorman, 1995) that, since trust inevitably involves potential betrayal, estimations of leadership 'trustworthiness' are based on followers' cognitive and affective perceptions of the reliability, competence, benevolence and reputation of leaders. During the course of the interviews it also became clear that some interviewees were being managed in more or less transaction-focused, performative, audit-dominated cultures in which trust was not regarded as particularly important: while 'cautious trust' existed, collegiality flourished only marginally in small teams. Economic necessity and survival were key factors influencing leadership and employee behaviours, while an increasing distance was reported between senior managers and their staff. The paper reflects on the nature of the public sector leadership and management environment in post-compulsory education reported by interviewees and survey respondents. Leadership behaviours to build trust are recommended, including effective communication, honesty, integrity, authenticity, reliability and openness. It was generally felt that building trust was difficult in an educational environment largely determined by economic necessity and performativity. Yet, despite this, the researchers did identify a number of examples of high trust leadership situations that are worthy of emulation.

The authors present here a list of 32 mosses belonging to 15 families: Brachytheciaceae, Cryphaeaceae, Entodontaceae, Hedwigiaceae, Hypnaceae, Leptodontaceae, Meteoriaceae, Neckeraceae, Pilotrichaceae, Polytrichaceae, Pterobryaceae, Racopilaceae, Rigodiaceae, Stereophyllaceae, and Trachypodaceae, all collected in the mountainous forests of the Yungas of the NW of the Argentina (Jujuy, Salta, Catamarca and Tucumán provinces), and also in the rainforests from the NE of the country (Misiones province). Eight species: Atrichum polycarpum, Chrysohypnum elegantulum, Pilosium chlorophyllum, Pilotrichella flexilis, Porotrichodendron lindigii, Pseudotrachypus martinicensis, Steerecleus scariosus, and Thamnobryum fasciculatum are new records for the bryologic flora from Argentina. Braunia imberbis and Squamidium brasiliense are two new records for the bryophytic flora of the Catamarca province; Porotrichodendron superbum is new for the Salta province, while Forsstroemia coronata is the first record for the Catamarca and Jujuy provinces. Aerolindigia capillacea, Braunia reflexifolia, Chryso-hypnum diminutivum, Meteorium deppei and Meteoridium remotifolium are five new citations for the Jujuy province, and Schoenobryum concavifolium is new for the bryophytic flora of the Misiones province. Many studied species occur more frequently in the Yungas than in the NE rainforests; others show separated distribution but live in both areas, the Yungas and Paranaense area, and others are more or less restricted to the Paranaense rainforest of the NE of Argentina. The taxonomy of species is updated, and comments are included on bibliographical precedents, ecology and chorology of each taxon.
