Miquel Mai (ca. 1480-1546). Art i cultura a la cort de Carles V

The doctoral thesis was an study about Miquel Mai, a polític, jurist, bibliophile and art collector in Barcelona in the first half of the XVI century. The thesis presents the figure of Miquel Mai by his biographic history, with emphasis in the principals chapters that he was participant. After, there was a chapter whose principal theme its the connection between Miquel Mai and the Erasmism movement. Third, it was an analysis of all the art objects that Miquel Mai accumulates. Fourth, the thesis explores the library (formed by more than 2000 books). And finally, we studied the relationship between the art objects who decorate the library and the same books that was in the library.

Una Lliçó de numismàtica [Ressenya del llibre Història de la moneda de la Guerra dels Segadors (Primera República Catalana), 1640-1652, de Miquel Crusafont i Sabater]

Ressenya del llibre Història de la moneda de la Guerra dels Segadors (Primera República Catalana), 1640-1652. La Catalunya de la guerra dels Segadors mai no va esdevenir una república, però sí que va actuar com si ho fos en matèria monetària. L’obra tracta el paper, no sols de caire econòmic, que va jugar la moneda en aquell temps

Optimization of Pothomorphe umbellata (L.) Miquel topical formulations using experimental design

Pothomorphe umbellata is a native plant widely employed in the Brazilian popular medicine. This plant has been shown to exert a potent antioxidant activity on the skin and to delay the onset and reduce the incidence of UVB-induced skin damage and photoaging. The aim of this work was to optimize the appearance, the centrifuge stability and the permeation of emulsions containing R umbellata (0. 1% 4-nerolidylchatecol). Experimental design was used to study ternary mixtures models with constraints and graphical representation by phase diagrams. The constraints reduce the possible experimental domain, and for this reason, this methodology offers the maximum information while requiring the minimum investment. The results showed that the appearance follows a linear model, and that the aqueous phase was the principal factor affecting the appearance; the centrifuge stability parameter followed a mathernatic quadratic model and the interactions between factors produced the most stable emulsions; skin permeation was improved by the oil phase, following a linear model generated by data analysis. We propose as optimized P. umbellata formulation: 68.4% aqueous phase, 26.6% oil phase and 5.0% of self-emulsifying phase. This formulation displayed an acceptable compromise between factors and responses investigated. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

POTENTIALLY PATHOGENIC FREE-LIVING AMOEBAE IN SOME FLOOD-AFFECTED AREAS DURING 2011 CHIANG MAI FLOOD

SUMMARYThe survey was carried out to investigate the presence of potentially pathogenic free-living amoebae (FLA) during flood in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2011. From different crisis flood areas, seven water samples were collected and tested for the presence of amoebae using culture and molecular methods. By monoxenic culture, FLA were detected from all samples at 37 °C incubation. The FLA growing at 37 °C were morphologically identified as Acanthamoeba spp., Naegleria spp. and some unidentified amoebae. Only three samples (42.8%), defined as thermotolerant FLA, continued to grow at 42 °C. By molecular methods, two non-thermotolerant FlA were shown to have 99% identity to Acanthamoeba sp. and 98% identity to Hartmannella vermiformis while the two thermotolerant FLA were identified as Echinamoeba exundans (100% identity) and Hartmannella sp. (99% identity). This first report of the occurrence of FLA in water during the flood disaster will provide information to the public to be aware of potentially pathogenic FLA.

Métodos para superação da dormência e biometria de frutos e sementes de Parkia nitida Miquel. (Leguminosae - Mimosoideae)

Foram realizadas avaliações biométricas em frutos e sementes de Parkia nitida e estudado o efeito dos tratamentos escarificação mecânica sem (T2) e com (T3) aplicação do fungicida Benomyl; imersão em Η2Ο a 80°C (T4) e a 100°C (T5); imersão em H2SO4 durante 10 (T6), 20 (T7), 40 (T8) e 80 (T9) minutos, na superação da dormência das sementes. Foram totalizadas as sementes germinadas aos 10, 20, 30 e 40 dias após a semeadura. O ensaio foi instalado com quatro repetições de 50 sementes, semeadas em substrato de vermiculita. O número de frutos/inflorescência variou de um a oito. O comprimento e largura dos frutos e o número de sementes/fruto variaram de 36,0 a 80,0 cm, de 4,6 a 6,5 cm e de 17 a 37 sementes, respectivamente. O comprimento, a largura e a espessura das sementes variaram de 16,1 a 24,0 mm, de 8,1 a 14,0 mm e de 5,1 a 9,0 mm, respectivamente. Houve interação significativa entre métodos para superação da dormência e dias decorridos após a semeadura na germinação das sementes. As análises de regressão mostraram significância para os tratamentos T2, T3, T4, T6 e T8. O T4 proporcionou apenas 10,0% de germinação; entretanto os tratamentos T2 e T3 tiveram efeito satisfatório, com 50,0% e 72,5% de germinação, respectivamente. Os tratamentos com H2SO4 estiveram entre os mais eficientes, com 80,0%, 82,5%, 80,5% e 74,5%, durante 10, 20, 40 e 80 minutos de imersão, respectivamente. As percentagens de germinação para o T1 (testemunha) e T5 foram inferiores a 2,5%. Concluiu-se que sementes de P. nitida apresentam dormência devido à impermeabilidade do tegumento à água; é necessária a escarificação das sementes para se obter elevada percentagem de germinação; tratamentos com H2SO4, por 20 minutos, e escarificação mecânica + fungicida constituem-se métodos eficientes para superação da dormência.
