El presente trabajo constituye una aproximación preliminar al estudio de la actividad de las corridas de ganado en el Departamento de Molinos en los Valles Calchaquíes septentrionales, Salta, Argentina. Se toma como caso el evento de la “separada” de animales, que es la culminación del gran evento de la “corrida”, el cual consta de un desarrollo secuenciado y pautado, de alcance temporal y espacial en la región. Se intenta realizar un aporte al estudio de las estrategias de manejo del ambiente en los Valles Calchaquíes salteños septentrionales, a través del caso de las corridas de ganado en Molinos. Al mismo tiempo buscamos testear la aplicabilidad y eficacia de la metodología de la etnografía visual para el estudio de las relaciones hombre – medio, y sus implicancias en la percepción, manejo y movilidad de estas comunidades en su entorno natural y social.Palabras-clave: Manejo de ganado. Relaciones hombre-medio. Etnografía visual. Andes centrales surCattle Management in Molinos: a proposal for Visual Ethnography on the transhumance of cattle in Northern Calchaquí Valleys, Salta, ArgentinaAbstractThis work is a preliminary study of the activity of cattle management in Molinos in the northern Calchaquí Valley, Salta, Argentina. We take as a case of study the event of "separada" of animals, which is the culmination of the great event of the "corrida", which consists of a sequenced development with wide temporal and spatial range in the region. Our proposal tries to make a contribution to the study of environmental management strategies in northern Salta Calchaquí Valleys, through the case of cattle management in Molinos. At the same time we seek to test the applicability of visual ethnography as a strategy to study the perceptions, management and mobility of these communities in their natural and social environment.Key words: Cattle management. Relationships between humans and their environment. Visual ethnography. South central Andes.

A recently discovered vertebrate fossil-bearing locality in the Fleming Formation of easternmost Texas has revealed a highly diverse fauna that contains a minimum of 44 early Miocene vertebrate taxa. At least 17 different species of lower vertebrates were recovered including five fish, two amphibians, one lizard, two snakes, at least five chelonians, and two crocodilians. A tiny boid that compares favorably with Anilioides nebraskensis is the first record in the Gulf Coastal Plain, and remains of a large aquatic turtle referred to the genus Dermatemys possibly represent its first fossil occurrence. Other rare genera represented include the largemouth bass Micropterus, possibly the snook Centropomus, and the crocodilian Gavialosuchus. In addition, temporal and spatial range extensions are recorded for Micropterus and Alligator olseni. These taxa, along with the mammalian component to be discussed elsewhere, document the rare preservation of a forested subtropical to tropical coastal lowland paleoenvironment and provide evidence to imply that separation into mid-continent and coastal plain paleobiogeographic provinces had not yet occurred.

AbstractUsing a new ID hybrid model of the electron bombardment in flare loops, we study not only the evolution of densities, plasma velocities and temperatures in the loop, but also the temporal and spatial evolution of hard X-ray emission. In the present paper a continuous bombardment by electrons isotropically accelerated at the top of flare loop with a power-law injection distribution function is considered. The computations include the effects of the return-current that reduces significantly the depth of the chromospheric layer which is evaporated. The present modelling is made with superthermal electron parameters corresponding to the classical resistivity regime for an input energy flux of superthermal electrons of 109erg cm−2s−1. It was found that due to the electron bombardment the two chromospheric evaporation waves are generated at both feet of the loop and they propagate up to the top, where they collide and cause temporary density and hard X-ray enhancements.

Cell surface glycoconjugates are considered to play important roles in cell-cell interactions in the developing central nervous system. We have previously described a group of monoclonal antibodies that recognize defined carbohydrate epitopes and reveal unique temporal and spatial patterns of immunoreactivity in the developing main and accessory olfactory systems in rats. Antibody CC2 reacts with complex α-galactosyl and α-fucosyl glycoproteins and glycolipids. Antibody CC1 reacts with terminal N-acetyl galactosamine residues of globoside-like glycolipids. Antibody 1B2 reacts with β-galactosyl glycolipids and glycoproteins. Our light microscopic data suggest that these antigens may be located on the surfaces of axons of the vomeronasal and olfactory nerves as well as on some of their target neurons in the main and accessory olfactory bulbs.
