Un problema de salud ambiental relevante es la contaminación del aire generado por diferentes factores, uno de ellos es la carga microbiana. El estudio evidencia la presencia de estos contaminantes del aire como son los bioaerosoles cultivables y contables en las áreas de los edificios administrativos estudiados la cual podría afectar la calidad del aire interior. Se realizó un estudio observacional de corte transversal que permitió conocer y establecer las características de la carga microbiana presente relacionada con bioaerosoles cultivables y contables en los sistemas de ventilación mecánica en tres edificios administrativos de la ciudad de Bogotá en el periodo 2012 a 2013 y, la asociación o no entre variables de interés. Los bioaerosoles cultivables y contables encontrados con mayores porcentajes en las muestras tomadas fueron comunes a los tres edificios así: Aspergillus sp. se encontró en el 77,2% (61) de las muestras para el edifico uno, mientras que para el dos fue de 91% (30) de las muestras y para el edificio tres 100% (19) de las muestras tomadas; seguido por el género Penicillium sp. del cual se encontró 60,8% (48) de las muestras para el edificio uno, para el edificio dos 87,9% (29) de las muestras y para el edificio tres 94,7% (18) de las muestras. Otro género encontrado en porcentajes altos en los tres edificios fue el Cladosporium sp. , en el edificio uno 41,8% (33) de las muestras, mientras que para el edificio dos correspondió al 100% (33) de las muestra y finalmente para el edificio tres 84,2% (16) de las muestras analizadas. Los hallazgos se correlacionan con lo reportado por la literatura.

Common computational principles underlie processing of various visual features in the cortex. They are considered to create similar patterns of contextual modulations in behavioral studies for different features as orientation and direction of motion. Here, I studied the possibility that a single theoretical framework, implemented in different visual areas, of circular feature coding and processing could explain these similarities in observations. Stimuli were created that allowed direct comparison of the contextual effects on orientation and motion direction with two different psychophysical probes: changes in weak and strong signal perception. One unique simplified theoretical model of circular feature coding including only inhibitory interactions, and decoding through standard vector average, successfully predicted the similarities in the two domains, while different feature population characteristics explained well the differences in modulation on both experimental probes. These results demonstrate how a single computational principle underlies processing of various features across the cortices.

The mineral concentrations in cereals are important for human health, especially for individuals who consume a cereal subsistence diet. A number of elements, such as zinc, are required within the diet, while some elements are toxic to humans, for example arsenic. In this study we carry out genome-wide association (GWA) mapping of grain concentrations of arsenic, copper, molybdenum and zinc in brown rice using an established rice diversity panel of,300 accessions and 36.9 k single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The study was performed across five environments: one field site in Bangladesh, one in China and two in the US, with one of the US sites repeated over two years. GWA mapping on the whole dataset and on separate subpopulations of rice revealed a large number of loci significantly associated with variation in grain arsenic, copper, molybdenum and zinc. Seventeen of these loci were detected in data obtained from grain cultivated in more than one field location, and six co-localise with previously identified quantitative trait loci. Additionally, a number of candidate genes for the uptake or transport of these elements were located near significantly associated SNPs (within 200 kb, the estimated global linkage disequilibrium previously employed in this rice panel). This analysis highlights a number of genomic regions and candidate genes for further analysis as well as the challenges faced when mapping environmentally-variable traits in a highly genetically structured diversity panel.
