Relaciones interétnicas en el Fuerte San José (Patagonia, siglo XVIII). Una aproximación comparativa

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto presentar la primera aproximación a las relaciones interétnicas en el escenario del Fuerte San José y el Puesto de la Fuente, desde una perspectiva histórica y arqueológica. En particular, presentaremos los primeros resultados de las investigaciones históricas respecto de la problemática mencionada, sobre la base de información inédita analizada hasta el momento. Para ello nos centraremos en los primeros diez años de vida en el Fuerte (1779-1789) y estableceremos una comparación con los otros dos asentamientos que formaron parte del plan de poblamiento español de las costa patagónica (siglo XVIII): el Fuerte Nuestra Señora del Carmen y la Nueva Colonia de Floridablanca, a los efectos de destacar la particularidad del Fuerte San José en el marco de la variabilidad de la estructuración de las relaciones interétnicas en las colonias patagónicas.

L'evoluzione biologica: dalle idee del Settecento alle ultime scoperte

Dopo più di due secoli dalla nascita di Darwin e più di centocinquant’anni dalla pubblicazione della sua opera più importante, l’Origine delle specie, tenuta in debita considerazione l’importanza del concetto di evoluzione biologica come chiave esplicativa per tutta la Biologia, diviene fondamentale ripercorrere brevemente, per così dire, l’evoluzione dell’evoluzionismo. Il 12 febbraio del 1809 nasceva Charles Robert Darwin, mentre il 24 novembre 1859 veniva pubblicata la sua opera più importante l’Origine delle specie. Nonostante le conoscenze biologiche di duecento anni fa fossero inadeguate a fornire il sostrato adeguato per spiegare come effettivamente si ereditassero i caratteri dei genitori, le esplorazioni dei Paesi extraeuropei, con il corollario di importanti reperti biologici che affluivano in Europa, nonché l’accumulo di fatti e scoperte, coadiuvati dall’emergere di una nuova borghesia avida di conoscenza, rendevano sempre più problematica l’accettazione delle spiegazioni metafisiche dei fenomeni naturali. Ovviamente, il cambio di paradigma non è stato indolore: le gerarchie ecclesiastiche ed il potere politico non accettarono facilmente (e non lo fanno neanche adesso!) di vedere messo in discussione lo status quo. Mi torna in mente la frase che il Primo Ministro Britannico Disraeli disse, commentando l’uscita dell’Origine delle specie: “Il Signor Darwin discenderà dalle scimmie, ma io discendo dagli angeli”. A prescindere da ciò, attualmente gli strepitosi successi della Biologia, uniti alla necessità, sempre più impellente, di salvaguardare la diversità biologica, impongono di conoscere, almeno per sommi capi, l’evoluzionismo ed il suo sviluppo poiché, come affermato da Dobzhansky: “Nulla ha senso in Biologia, se non alla luce dell’Evoluzione”. Infatti, Con lo sviluppo della biologia moderna, e delle altre scienze ad essa collegate, si è profondamente modificato il concetto stesso del mondo naturale. Si è inserita una visione storica della natura. Di più, l’uomo è sceso da quel piedistallo su cui credeva di essere nel sistema naturale. Per questo Sigmund Freud ha definito l’Origine delle specie di Darwin, il “colpo biologico” alla presunzione umana. Il concetto di evoluzione ha anche contribuito allo sviluppo di una visione laica della realtà.

The influence of water on the glucose affinity of hexokinase

In the present thesis, the role of hydration during the glucose induced conformational change of hexokinase is investigated. This is accomplished by applying the osmotic stress technique. The osmotic stress technique is founded on varying of the activity of water in a system in order to determine ifs effects. This is accomplished by adding inert solute molecules that are excluded from the system under study. The solute molecules used within the present investigation are Polyethylene glycols (PEGs). PEGs aid in the removal of water from hexokinase by exerting osmotic pressure. The osmotic pressures of the PEG solutions are also measured with both vapour pressure osmometry and secondary osmometry with phospholipids. An interesting discovery is made in that the osmotic pressures of PEG and co-solute solutions are non-additive. This indicates that PEG concentrates co-solutes in solution by making a certain proportion of the water inaccessible. Glucose binding was measured fluorometrically and the glucose equilibrium dissociation constant (GEDC) of hexokinase is measured in solutions containing the different MW PEGs. Changes in the sensitivity of the glucose affinity with osmotic pressure allows the calculation of the change in the numbers of polymer-inaccessible water molecules upon the binding of glucose to hexokinase ~Nw. It was determined the ~Nw decreases with increases in osmotic pressure in the presence of all MW PEGs. ~Nw decreases from values between 45-290 water molecules at low pressure to approximately 15 at high pressure. There is also a molecular weight dependence observed. There are large decreases in ~Nw with osmotic pressure in the presence of PEGs above MW 1000. However, below MW 1500 changes in ~Nw with osmotic pressure are relatively small. These findings are interpreted with respect to two possible mechanisms involving changes in the conformation of hexokinase u~der osmotic pressure and the access of the PEG molecules to water surrounding hexokinase.

Barnes Wines: Canada’s Oldest Winery flyer. n.d.

In 1873 George Barnes, Andrew Skinner, James Skinner, John Young Reid, Charles Robert Murray, George Magan, Thomas Barnes and Robert Duncan applied for, and received a charter for a commercial winery which would be called The Ontario Grape Growing and Wine Manufacturing Company Limited. It opened in 1894 and became known as Barnes Wines Limited. In 1973 the company completed a merger with Reckitt and Coleman (Canada) Limited. The winery operated until 1988 and was located on the banks of the old Welland Canal in St. Catharines, Ontario. The company produced a complete line of table wines, dessert wines, sherries, ports, and both crackling and sparkling wines. Barnes Wines called itself “Canada’s oldest winery” at the time of the printing of this flyer.

A by-law begins: "It was then moved by R.S. Kinner and Seconded by George Barnes that by Law No. 12 be read. Whereas by Identure bearing date thirteenth day of August A.D. 1873 made between one George Barnes of the first part thereof and Andrew S. Kinner and Charles Robert Murray of the second part thereof which said Identure was duly registered in the Registry Office for Lands for the said County of Lincoln on the 14th day of August A.D. 1880 in Book 4 for the Township of Louth as No. 1534 the said George Barnes granted and conveyed the Lands and premises therein described to the said Andrew S. Kinner and Charles Robert Murray and their heirs and assigns as joint tenants and not as tenants as common upon the trusts and for the purposes therein expressed. And Whereas the said Andrew S.
