Jornadas de Poéticas de la Literatura Argentina para Niños (2 : 2010 : La Plata). Literatura argentina e infancia

Nos hemos propuesto publicar las ponencias seleccionadas para ser leídas en las II Jornadas de Poéticas de la Literatura argentina para niños que tuvieron lugar en el Colegio Nacional "Rafael Henández" de la ciudad de La Plata, el 5 de noviembre de 2010 con el fin de poner en circulación la producción teórico-crítica de colegas argentinos interesados en el campo de la literatura infantil argentina.

Escrituras de lo real : César Aira y Arturo Carrera

El trabajo no realiza un estudio comparatístico sino que explora las relaciones móviles y productivas entre dos poéticas que son afines y son producto de dos autores importantes en la literatura argentina contemporánea. De esta manera, los conceptos de vanguardia y tradición nos permiten dar un marco para examinar el estatuto experimental de estas escrituras a través de motivos como el viaje, la experiencia subjetiva del espacio, del tiempo y la cultura.

Laser pulse shaping with liquid crystals (1982)

In this paper we report a new method of laser pulse shaping by the use of liquid crystals as non linear materials. The basis of this method is similar to the one reported by us for an hybrid optical bistable device, but with a different electronic circuitry and feedback.

Optical memory with TNLC devices (1982)

In this paper we describe a twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) device structure with optical feedback capable of bistable operation and optical memory. Its structure is the conventional one as employed in hybrid optical bistability.

Effects of static stretching following a dynamic warm-up on speed, agility and power

Static stretching prior to sport has been shown to decrease force production in comparison to the increasing popularity of dynamic warm-up methods. However some athletes continue to use a bout of static stretching following dynamic methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects on speed, agility and power following a period of additional static stretching following a dynamic warm-up routine. Twenty-five male University students who participated in team sports performed two warm-up protocols concentrating on the lower body one week apart through a randomised cross over design. The dynamic warm-up (DW) protocol used a series of specific progressive exercises lasting 10 minutes over a distance of 20m. The dynamic warm-up plus static stretching (DWS) protocol used the same DW protocol followed by a 5 minute period during which 7 muscle groups were stretched. Following each warm-up the subjects performed a countermovement vertical jump, 20m sprint and Illinois agility test, 1 minute apart. The results demonstrated no significant differences in speed, agility and jump performance following the two protocols DW and DWS. The study concludes that performing static stretching following a dynamic warm-up prior to performance does not significantly affect speed, agility and vertical jump performance.

Cleaning wrasse species vary with respect to dependency on the mutualism and behavioural adaptations in interactions

Interspecific mutualisms are an essential feature of life on earth, yet we know little about their evolution and stability. In many mutualisms several species are available as partners, raising questions about the similarity in function and behavioural repertoire depending on the partner species. Furthermore, variation between species in the quantity and quality of interactions resulting in variation in payoffs may allow us to infer the potential evolutionary origin of a multispecies mutualism complex. We addressed these issues in the marine cleaning mutualism, in which so-called 'cleaners' remove ectoparasites from so-called 'client' reef fish. We measured several parameters concerning the quantity and quality of cleaning interactions in six sympatric cleaner wrasse species. We found significant variation between cleaner species with respect to client diversity, the number of interactions with predatory clients, the duration of interactions, the frequency of client jolts as a correlate of 'cheating' by cleaners, and behaviours used for manipulation of client decisions. Exploratory correlations between cleaner species' dependency and our variables of interest suggest that cleaning originated as a conflict-free by-product mutualism and evolved towards more sophisticated behaviours, including strategic behaviours for interactions with predators, cheating and manipulation specifically adapted to the client type.
