Understanding and investigating art : bringing the National Gallery into the art room.

Cumple con los requisitos del curriculo nacional inglés para la enseñanza del arte en la etapa de secundaria en cuanto que desarrolla en los estudiantes un enfoque riguroso en el análisis del trabajo de los artistas y en la comprensión de los más complejos términos y conceptos artísticos. Para ello, se estructura el contenido sobre temas universales en la historia del arte como son la figura humana, los paisajes, la flora y la fauna, acontecimientos personales, sociales e históricos, lo fantástico y lo extraño y, la forma y significado de lo abstracto.

El nuevo Sistema Bretton Woods visto desde la Teoría de Juegos (Otros Temas)

Para el autor, la principal característica del sistema económico mundial actual es el enorme y creciente déficit de cuenta corriente que presentan los Estados Unidos y que sirve de motor para el dinamismo económico mundial, y por sobre todo, para el crecimiento sostenido de las economías emergentes como la de China. Utilizando la Teoría de Juegos, Cadena pretende determinar si es o no sostenible este sistema económico en el tiempo.

‘Anything can happen in the next half-hour’: Gerry Anderson’s transnational science fiction

Gerry Anderson’s 1960s puppet series have hybrid identities in relation to their medial, geographical, and production histories. This chapter ranges over his science fiction series from Supercar (1961) to Joe 90 (1968), arguing that Anderson’s television science fiction in that period crossed many kinds of boundary and border. Anderson’s television series were a compromise between his desire to make films for adults versus an available market for children’s television puppet programs, and aimed to appeal to a cross-generational family audience. They were made on film, using novel effects, for a UK television production culture that still relied largely on live and videotaped production. While commissioned by British ITV companies, the programs had notable success in the USA, achieving national networked screening as well as syndication, and they were designed to be transatlantic products. The transnational hero teams and security organisations featured in the series supported this internationalism, and simultaneously negotiated between the cultural meanings of Britishness and Americanness. By discussing their means of production, the aesthetic and narrative features of the programs, their institutional contexts, and their international distribution, this chapter argues that Anderson’s series suggest ways of rethinking the boundaries of British science fiction television in the 1960s.

Antioxidant capacity and phenolic composition of different woods used in cooperage

This study has investigated the antioxidant capacity of different woods used in cooperage and the effect of the botanical species of wood on this capacity. Quercus robur and Castanea sativa were the species with the highest antioxidant capacity, due to their relatively high content of phenolic compounds. However, the phenolic content of Prunus avium samples was very low, also reflected in its antioxidant capacity. All measurements of antioxidant capacity were consistent with the content and composition of the phenolic compounds detected in the wood samples. The major contributors to the antioxidant capacity were identified as phenolic acids, including gallic, protocatechuic, p-coumaric and ellagic acid and all the ellagitannins, due to their characteristic structure.
