Bitcoin is part of the so-called crypto-currencies and can be defined as a universal decentralized public electronic payment system based on Blockchain technology. The problem it faces is trust in its use; therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze the factors that influence the adoption and use of Bitcoin in Mexico. For this purpose, the UTAUT2 model integrated with the trust variable, is used. The model was empirically tested by applying a survey of 106 questionnaires, under the partial least square’s method, with structural equation models (PLS-SEM). The main results indicate that performance expectation, hedonistic motivation, habit, and its decentralization; are the main factors that influence confidence for the adoption and use of Bitcoin. The results illustrate to companies and any interested party the advantages of using Bitcoin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The technique named semicontinousheterophase polymerization was used to synthesize mesoporous polystyrene nanoparticles. The developed process was under monomer-starved conditions which monomer was continously added to the reactor containing an aqueous solution of emusifier and initiator. The effects of the rate of organic mixture addition and concentration of initiator on kinetic behavior, the particle size, pore diameter and porosity were studied.The results obtained were as follows: the conversions were near to 95% (≈ 20% content of solids), with particle size between 15 and 30 nm with low polydispersity, pores size between 4 and 6 nm and porosity between 10 and 30%. According to the results’ statistical analysis, the conversion, the particle and pore size depend directly on the rate of the organic mixture addition and not on the concentration of initiator. On the other hand, the porosity is directly proportional to the rate of organic mixture addition and inversely proportional to the concentration of initiator. La técnica de polimerización heterogénea en semicontinuo fue empleado para sintetizar nanopartículas de poliestirenomesoporosas. Las polimerizaciones se llevaron a cabo a condiciones de avidez de monómero en la cual el monómero fue continuamente alimentado al reactor que contenía una solución acuosa de tensioactivo e iniciador. Se ha estudiado los efectos del flujo de dosificación de mezcla orgánica y concentración del iniciador en el comportamiento cinético, los diámetros de partícula y poro y porosidad. Los resultados obtenidos fueron los siguientes: Se obtuvieron conversiones cerca de 95% (aproximadamente 20% de contenido de sólidos), con tamaño de partícula entre 15 y 30 nm con baja polidispersidad, diámetros de poro entre 4 y 6 nm y porosidad entre 10 y 30%. De acuerdo con el análisis estadístico de los resultados, la conversión, el tamaño de partícula y la de poro depende directamente del flujo de dosificación de la mezcla orgánica y no dependen de la concentración del iniciador. Por otro lado, la porosidad es directamente proporcional al flujo de dosificación de la mezcla orgánica e inversamente proporcional a la concentración del iniciador.

En este trabajo se obtienen y analizan los campos de las funciones vorticidad tangencial, circulación y corriente meridional, que se generan en el interior de un cilindro cerrado que tiene el fondo giratorio y la tapa superior y envolvente sin movimiento. Los resultados se presentan mediante gráficas en las que se comparan dichas funciones, para un número de Reynolds de 3x10 4 y para un factor de forma (alto/radio) del recipiente de 0.5, 1.0 y 2.0. Se encontró al comparar el sistema con relación geométrica 2 respecto al 1, que la función corriente disminuye 29.63%; que la circulación permanece constante y que la vorticidad se reduce un 65.91%. Por otro lado, al comparar el sistema con relación geométrica 0.5 respecto al de 1, se encontró que la función corriente aumenta 1.4 veces, que la circulación se incrementó 3.45 veces y que la vorticidad aumentó 0.7 veces. Los resultados anteriores dan una idea del comportamiento de las funciones corriente, circulación y vorticidad tangencial para las relaciones geométricas antes mencionadas, pero se requiere de un mayor análisis para poder utilizar estos resultados al caso particular de mezclado o de alguna otra aplicación práctica de ingeniería. The tangential vorticity function, circulation and meridian stream that form in a closed rotating cylinder are analyzed. The cylinder has a rotating bottom whereas the lateral surface and the top are fixed. The results are presented as graphs that compare the mentioned functions for different aspect ratios. The comparing aspect ratios: 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. In comparing the 2.0 aspect ratio versus the 1.0 aspect ratio; it is found that the stream function diminished a 29.63%, whereas the circulation does not change and the vorticity decreases 65.91%. On the other hand comparison of the cylinder with aspect ratio 0.5 against the one with aspect ratio 1; gives that the stream function increases 1.4 times; that the circulation increases 3.45 times and the vorticirty increases 0.7 times. The analysis was made for a 3 x 104 Reynolds number. The mentioned results give an indication of the influence of the aspect ratio as to the motion inside the cylinder. Further investigation is required in order to apply the results to particular conditions of mixing or another practical application.

Radial wood variation patterns were determined for quebracho blanco (Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco L.) one of the most important species of The Chaco Region. Ten adult trees from two sites, trees per site were used. From each tree, disks were removed at breast height. Patterns of variation of pore area, fibber diameter, lumen fibber, fibber cell wall thickness, percentage of pores, fibbers, parenchyma and rays were examined using sites, trees and radial distances as sources of variation. Univariate analysis was performed using a nested design, with random effect on sites and trees and fixed on distance to the pith. Variance Components were estimated by Restricted Maximum Likelihood. The results showed that distance to the pith was the main source of variation for the traits studied. The wood anatomical features studied were not affected by site. Fibber diameter, fibber cell wall thickness and pore percentage showed an increasing pattern along the radius. The diameter lumen fibber, fibbers percentage and rays percentage showed a not definite pattern of radial change. Along the radius the tissue proportions of fibber diameter, and fibber cell wall thickness increased more rapidly up to a distance of 10,5 cm. Mature wood was not observed up to the distances studied., Este estudio determina el patrón de variación de los caracteres anatómicos del leño en Aspidosperma quebracho- blanco, una de las especies de mayor importancia comercial del Parque Chaqueño Seco, Argentina. Se utilizaron 10 árboles adultos, cinco por cada sitio, del bosque nativo. Sobre rodajas extraídas de a 1,30 mts de altura se determinó la incidencia del sitio, árbol, y distancia radial sobre la variabilidad de: área de poros, diámetro de fibras, diámetro de lumen de fibras, espesor de pared, porcentaje de poros, porcentaje de fibras, porcentaje de parénquima y porcentaje de radios. El diseño consistió en un muestreo multietápico con submuestras de orden jerárquico. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó un modelo anidado con efecto aleatorio en sitio y árboles y fijo en distancias radiales a la médula. La estimación de los componentes de varianza fue realizada por el método de Máxima Verosimilitud Restringida. Los resultados mostraron que la distancia a la médula es la fuente de variación más importante en los caracteres anatómicos analizados en los caracteres estudiados. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre árboles en las variables área de poros, porcentaje de fibras, y porcentaje de radios. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre sitios en ninguno de los caracteres estudiados. Las variables diámetro de fibras, espesor de pared y porcentaje de poros tienen una tendencia radial ascendente. El diámetro de lumen de fibras, porcentaje de fibras, y porcentaje de radios no tienen una tendencia definida. Las variables diámetro de fibras y espesor de pared crecen en forma más acentuada hasta una distancia de 10,5 cm. Hasta los 17 cm de radio, no se observó la estabilización de los elementos anatómicos estudiados, que caracterizan a la madera madura.

The objective of this paper is to characterize wood features and radial variation in Schinopsis quebracho-colorado and to determine the influence of age in wood structure. Ten trees with DBH(diameter at breast height) greather than 30 cm, from the natural forest of Los Pirpintos, Copo Department, Santiago del Estero, Argentina, were studied. The methodology adopted for xylem study is that of Helinska; and the terminology of IAWA. Wood variability was explained by vessel diameter, vessel number and area, and percentage of isolated vessels. Results showed highly significant differences among age classes (treatments) for the variables thickness rings, vessel number, vessel diameter and vessel area. The rest of the variables did not evidence differences among treatments. There were no significant differences among individuals. The results showed that distance to the pith (age) was the most important source of variation for the traits studied, being the conductive elements the most relevant to wood variability., Los objetivos del presente trabajo son: caracterizar el leño de Schinopsis quebracho-colorado, determinar la fuente de variación radial en la madera y analizar la influencia de la edad en los caracteres anatómicos del leño. Se trabajó con 10 individuos de DAP (diámetro a la altura de pecho, 1,30 m) superior a 30 cm, seleccionados en la localidad de Los Pirpintos, Departamento Copo, Santiago del Estero, Argentina. La metodología adoptada para el estudio del leño es la de Helinska et al. y la terminología de IAWA. Los caracteres anatómicos responsables de la variabilidad radial de la madera son: diámetro, número y área de vasos, proporción de poros solitarios y espesor de los anillos de crecimiento. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron diferencias altamente significativas entre las clases de edad (tratamientos) para las variables espesor de anillos, número, diámetro y área de vasos. El resto de las variables no evidenciaron diferencias. No hubo diferencias significativas entre individuos. Se concluye que hay un gradiente radial en el leño en función de la edad del árbol, siendo los elementos conductores los principales responsables de la variabilidad de la madera.

- Abstract
Introduction: The progressive deterioration of patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) has a major impact on their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This study evaluates HRQOL in a sample of patients diagnosed with SCA and aims to estimate the predictive ability of a set of sociodemographic variables for the different dimensions of the General Health Questionnaire., Methods: A total of 80 patients diagnosed with SCA were assessed using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the SF-36 General Health Questionnaire. The sociodemographic variables studied were sex, age, presence of a carer, employment status, and time elapsed from diagnosis of the disease., Results: The 8 subscales of the SF-36 show positive and significant correlations to one another. Mean scores obtained on each SF-36 subscale differ between women and men, although this difference is significant only on the general health subscale, with men scoring higher than women. We found significant age differences on the vitality and social function subscales, with higher scores among younger patients (< 34 years). The variable 'presence of a carer' accounts for most of the total variance of the questionnaire., Conclusions: The SF-36 is a valid and useful instrument for evaluating HRQOL in patients diagnosed with SCA. Presence of a carer seems to be a determinant of self-perceived quality of life in these patients., (Copyright © 2015 Sociedad Española de Neurología. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.

- Abstract
Introduction: Progressive deterioration in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a major impact on their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The objectives of this study are to evaluate HRQOL in a sample of patients diagnosed with ALS and estimate the predictive capability of a set of sociodemographic variables for the different scales covered by a general health survey., Methods: A total of 63 patients diagnosed with ALS were assessed using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the SF-36 general health survey. The sociodemographic variables studied were sex, age, presence of a caregiver, employment status, and time from diagnosis of disease., Results: The SF-36 survey shows positive correlations between the different scales composing it, which proves its reliability. The mean scores obtained for each of the SF-36 scales were higher in men than in women, although the only statistically significant difference was for the Physical Role scale. The lowest age range (less than 56 years) presented the highest mean scores for most of these dimensions. Most of the variance in the test is explained by the variable 'presence of caregiver'., Conclusions: The SF-36 health survey has been confirmed as a valid and useful tool for evaluating HRQOL in ALS patients, and it discriminates between patients in different states of health according to their level of dependency., (Copyright © 2012 Sociedad Española de Neurología.

- Abstract
Purpose: Hemoglobin Hotel Dieu (HbHD) is a high-oxygen affinity variant of HbA never before reported in a Hispanic patient. This Hb variant was first reported in 1981 by Blouquit et al. in a white person with erythrocytosis with a substitution in the beta 99 aspartic acid residue by glycine., Methods: A 13-year-old Puerto Rican boy had pain in his chest, headaches, easy fatigability, and high Hb (as high as 19.1 g/dl). Protein analysis was performed by cellulose acetate, citrate agar, and isoelectric focusing electrophoresis and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, and DNA sequencing of the second exon of the beta gene in samples obtained from the mother, father, and the patient, and DNA fingerprinting to determine paternity., Results: The variant found in the patient migrated on cellulose acetate electrophoresis to a cathodic position relative to HbF, and a band cathodal to HbA and close to HbF on isoelectric focusing electrophoresis. The patient showed an abnormal well-resolved peak on HPLC with a retention time slightly shorter than that for HbS. DNA analysis by direct sequencing of the PCR product demonstrated heterozygosity for codon 99 (GAT-->GGT) in the patient but not in either parent. DNA fingerprinting by multiplex PCR amplification of three simple tandem repeat loci showed that the patient shared alleles in all three loci with both parents, ruling out nonpaternity., Conclusions: The protein and DNA analysis indicate that the erythrocytosis is caused by the presence of HbHD in this Hispanic adolescent.

- Abstract
Capsular polysaccharides have been studied as possible vaccines against infectious diseases. However, they are capable to induce only short-run protection because of their T-independent properties and they would not be protective against infection in high-risk populations. The alternative to face this problem is to develop methods to join covalently the polysaccharide and proteins to both increase the immunogenicity of and to confer the property of T-dependence to this antigen. In order to obtain a conjugate vaccine against typhoid fever, in our laboratory we have tried to synthesize a conjugate immunogen between the Vi antigen and porins from Salmonella typhi.
