Rescatando las raíces: Indígenas, investigadores y políticas culturales en la construcción de identidades provinciales (La Pampa, Argentina, 1960-1993) by Claudia Salomón Tarquini, Anabela E. Abbona

“…En el marco de un proyecto que analiza la construcción de configuraciones culturales regionales, el artículo analiza de qué manera surgen estos estudios, cuáles fueron las redes institucionales que fueron tejiéndose en torno a ellos, y qué visiones acerca de los indígenas se promovieron. La intensa tarea que desarrollaron a lo largo de tres décadas permitió aportar información para la elaboración de discursos acerca de la «identidad provincial» a la vez que marcaría los límites y posibilidades de la militancia indígena que se haría visible a partir de la década de 1990.…”

Sugar Profile, Mineral Content, and Rheological and Thermal Properties of an Isomerized Sweet Potato Starch Syrup by Brunson Dominque, Peter N. Gichuhi, Vijay Rangari, Adelia C. Bovell-Benjamin

“…During 70 days of storage, the SPSS acted as a non-Newtonian, shear-thinning liquid in which the viscosity decreased as shear stress increased. Water loss temperature of the SPSS continually decreased during storage, while pancake and ginger syrups’ peak water loss temperature decreased initially and then increased. …”
