Cytotoxicity and bioadhesive properties of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide hydrogel by Capella, Virginia, Rivero, Rebeca E., Liaudat, Ana Cecilia, Ibarra, Luis Exequiel, Roma, Dardo Andrés, Alustiza, Fabrisio Eduardo, Mañas, Fernando, Barbero, César A., Bosch, Pablo, Rivarola, Claudia R., Rodríguez, Nancy

“…Genotoxicity was evaluated by the single-cell gel electrophoresis assay, where DNA damages were not detected. [3H]-thymidine staining allowed to corroborate that cell proliferation had progressed correctly. Adopted morphologies for each cell line over PNIPAM were similar to cell growing observed on polystyrene, indicating that the surfaces favor the cell attachment during 5 days' culture. …”

Assessment of an intervention experience using appropriate technologies in Santiago del Estero (Argentina) by Díaz, Juan Pablo, Rodríguez Sperat, Ramiro, Paz, Raúl

“…The results indicate that a particular farm structure did not guarantee a result in terms of appropriation of a Socially Appropriate Technology, and that the operation of the production system and the survival strategy (or peasant strategy) of each family gave the farm a dynamic that often is decisive in adopting the proposal. In addition, at least for the current experience was not enough to design technology using locally controlled resources, nor was it appropriate to present a unique technological proposal for all of the experimenters. …”

Advantages and disadvantages of different observation methods on a troop of wild olive baboons at a river in Southern Kenya by Eriksson, Katarina

“…Every observation method has its advantages and disadvantages and a well-adopted method gives more reliable results. Factors affecting the choice of the most appropriate methods for recording foraging behaviours include species, group size, environment, seasons and age. …”

Efficiency of insect‐proof net tunnels in reducing virus‐related seed degeneration in sweet potato by Ogero, K., Kreuze, Jan F., McEwan, M., Luambano, N.D., Bachwenkizi, H., Garrett, K.A., Andersen, K.F., Thomas-Sharma, Sara, Vlugt, R.A.A.

“…By comparison, in the open field most of the yield could be lost after a small number of generations without the input of seed with lower disease incidence. Adopting the technology at the farmer‐multiplier level can increase availability of clean seed, particularly in high virus pressure areas.…”
