Análisis de la iniciativa de cluster de petróleo y gas en la región del Magdalena Medio como herramienta para la competitividad

En el mundo organizacional surge una gran incógnita sobre el por qué unos sectores económicos adquieren un alto grado de competitividad en ciertas partes del mundo mientras que en otras estos mismos van en decadencia. Este patrón puede ser explicado bajo el enfoque de competitividad, debido a que el comercio, la política, la industria, la educación y otros factores dejaron de tener una prelación local y empezaron a contemplar el plano mundial. Después de la segunda guerra mundial, nacieron nuevas amistades entre oriente y occidente, nuevos mercados, productos y necesidades, dando origen a la globalización y a una competencia internacional, por lo anterior, potencias como Estados Unidos incursionaron en los sectores de automotores y tecnológico, consolidándose como líderes, pero que ha venido en caída y por la falta de innovación, investigación y desarrollo, factores que si están siendo aprovechados por países como Japón, que ha acaparado gran parte del mercado que pertenecía a los norteamericanos; pero los factores anteriormente mencionados no son suficientes para mantenerse, por eso surge el interrogante de cómo es posible que un sector específico sobresalga sobre los demás y en un país determinado. El profesor Michael Porter en sus libros y publicaciones expresa que esto es posible mediante la adquisición de ventajas competitivas sostenibles que son obtenidas siempre y cuando las empresas tengan definidas: las condiciones de factores de producción, de demanda, los grupos conexos y de apoyo, y la estructura adecuada para la competencia, estos factores en su conjunto dan forma al “Diamante de Competitividad”, pero para entrar en detalle, primero es necesario tener claro el concepto de competitividad, la cual se ha vuelto un factor importante para los gobiernos y la industria. Una empresa debe tener la capacidad de interpretar el entorno económico, político, social y cultural al cual está sometida, con el fin de determinar si tiene la idoneidad para crear o mantener una ventaja competitiva de proyección internacional y un alto nivel de competitividad, estos factores contribuyen al fortalecimiento de los sectores económicos predominantes y a conservar la imagen del país como una potencia mundial.

Type specimens of G.E. Post in Beirut and The Natural History Museum, London

The Flora of Syria, Palestine and Sinai, a pioneer Flora of the region, was published in 1896 by George Edward Post (1838–1909). Lesser known are his series of Diagnoses plantarum novarum orientalium, published in the Journal of the Linnean Society Botany, and 10 papers, Plantae Postianae, which appeared in Swiss journals from 1890 to 1900. A greatly expanded second edition of the Flora was prepared by John Edward Dinsmore and published in Beirut in 1932 and 1933. Post's plant collection is part of the Post Herbarium (BEI), with about 63 000 specimens, that has been well maintained, despite civil war and inadequate staffing. This work involves the identification of around 150 types in BEI and BM, and improvement of the accessibility of the specimens. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 159, 315–321.

Simulação de reservatórios não convencionais para armazenamento de gás natural veicular

The investigation of viability to use containers for Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) storage, with different geometries of commercial standards, come from necessity to join the ambient, financial and technological benefits offered by the gas combustion, to the convenience of not modify the original proposal of the automobile. The use of these current cylindrical models for storage in the converted vehicles is justified by the excellent behavior that this geometry presents about the imposed tensions for the high pressure that the related reservoirs are submitted. However, recent research directed toward application of adsorbent materials in the natural gas reservoirs had proven a substantial redusction of pressure and, consequently, a relief of the tensions in the reservoirs. However, this study considers alternative geometries for NGV reservoirs, searching the minimization of dimensions and weight, remaining capacity to resist the tensions imposed by the new pressure situation. The proposed reservoirs parameters are calculated through a mathematical study of the internal pressure according to Brazilian standards (NBR) for pressure vessels. Finally simulations of the new geometries behavior are carried through using a commercially avaible Finite Element Method (FEM) software package ALGOR® to verify of the reservoirs efficincy under the gas pressure load

Dominant negative inhibition by fragments of a monomeric enzyme

Dominant negative inhibition is most commonly seen when a mutant subunit of a multisubunit protein is coexpressed with the wild-type protein so that assembly of a functional oligomer is impaired. By analogy, it should be possible to interfere with the functional assembly of a monomeric enzyme by interfering with the folding pathway. Experiments in vitro by others suggested that fragments of a monomeric enzyme might be exploited for this purpose. We report here dominant negative inhibition of bacterial cell growth by expression of fragments of a tRNA synthetase. Inhibition is fragment-specific, as not all fragments cause inhibition. An inhibitory fragment characterized in more detail forms a specific complex with the intact enzyme in vivo, leading to enzyme inactivation. This fragment also associated stoichiometrically with the full-length enzyme in vitro after denaturation and refolding, and the resulting complex was catalytically inactive. Inhibition therefore appears to arise from an interruption in the folding pathway of the wild-type enzyme, thus suggesting a new strategy to design dominant negative inhibitors of monomeric enzymes.
