No limiar da mora: por uma aferição objetiva da utilidade da prestação

O adimplemento contratual é o caminho ideal para a extinção das obrigações. O ordenamento, assim, volta-se a privilegiá-lo, constituindo o direito do credor à resolução contratual uma saída excepcional, apenas admissível quando perdido, no caso concreto, seu interesse no cumprimento da prestação. O exercício da resolução deve submeter-se a um controle de merecimento de tutela, a partir dos parâmetros que o próprio Código Civil elegeu para a verificação do inadimplemento absoluto: tempo, lugar e forma da prestação. Esse controle, porém, não deve privilegiar qualquer desses critérios sobre os demais (afigurando-se, assim, o lugar e a forma parâmetros plenamente independentes do aspecto temporal), nem deve, por outro lado, limitar-se à previsão legislativa. Importará para a aferição do interesse do credor na prestação todo o histórico da relação contratual e da atividade negocial entre as partes, as legítimas expectativas geradas no curso dessa interação e os demais fatores que influenciem no equilíbrio do regulamento contratual, consubstanciado no sinalagma funcional. De posse de tais elementos, deve o julgador exercer um adequado juízo de merecimento de tutela sobre a pretensão resolutória, averiguando se não constitui exercício abusivo (contrário à função negocial) e se corresponde a um interesse merecedor de tutela.

Expresión y exportación del fragmento formador de poros de colicina A: Formación de un complejo inactivo con su proteína de inmunidad

La colicinas son bacteriocinas producidas por cepas de Escherichia coli y letales para otras cepas relacionadas. Este trabajo está enfocado a la interacción proteína-proteína del complejo funcional caa-cai. Las interacciones proteína-proteína dentro de la membrana han sido tradicionalmente muy difíciles de cuantificar. Sin embargo, publicaciones anteriores han demostrado que el sistema caa-cai representa un complejo eficaz a la hora de inhibir la actividad tóxica de caa. Además, este complejo posee dos ventajas principales que facilitan su estudio: la interacción debe tener una alta afinidad y se debe poder medir in vivo de forma indirecta. El objetivo principal de esta memoria reside en la optimización de las condiciones de sobreexpresión del complejo funcional caa-cai. La formación del complejo en el sistema natural implica el acceso de ambas proteínas desde lados opuestos de la IM de la bacteria. Con el fin de mimetizar este escenario es necesario inducir la exportación del fragmento pf-caa al periplasma celular tras su sobreexpresión.

Length-weight relationships of demersal fishes from the upper continental slope off Colombia

Parameters of the length–weight relationship of the form W=aLb are presented for 45 demersal fish species caught on the upper continental slope of the Caribbean Sea off Colombia. The b values varied between 2.13 and 4.97, with the mean b = 3.042 (95% CI, 2.887- 3.196).

Length-weight relationships of demersal fishes from the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombia: [part 2]

The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship of the form W=aL super(b) are presented for 37 fish species, belonging to 17 families, caught during a demersal trawl survey over the period December 1995 to March 1998 in the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombia

Length-weight relationships of demersal fishes from the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombia

The parameters a and b of the length-weight relationship of the form W=a L super(b) were computed for 46 species caught in a series of demersal trawl hauls over the period 1995-1997 in the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombia.

Tarpon atlanticus in Colombia: a big fish in trouble

The natural history of Tarpon atlanticus (Valenciennes 1846) is reconstructed based on published information. Tarpon is a remarkable fish because of its peculiar larvae, large adult size, migration patterns and its capability to breathe atmospheric air. Destructive fisheries - some using dynamite - have much reduced the population of tarpon along the Caribbean coast of Colombia, and some catch data are presented which document this.

Diet composition of fish species from the southern continental shelf of Colombia

The diet composition of 30 fish species belonging to 16 families from the Pacific Coast of Colombia is described. Benthic crustaceans (37.5%) and bony fishes (23.7%, chiefly demersal) were the most important food items for the fish species analyzed. Data on diet composition of the fish species are presented for the first time which can be a source of information for trophic modeling.

History of the Atlantic Pearl-Oyster, Pinctata imbricata, Industry in Venezuela and Colombia, with Biological and Ecological Observations

In the 1500’s, the waters of Venezuela and to a lesser extent Colombia produced more natural pearls than any place ever produced in the world in any succeeding century. Atlantic pearl-oysters, Pinctata imbricata Röding 1798, were harvested almost entirely by divers. The pearls from them were exported to Spain and other European countries. By the end of the 1500’s, the pearl oysters had become much scarcer, and little harvesting took place during the 1600’s and 1700’s. Harvesting began to accelerate slowly in the mid 1800’s and has since continued but at a much lower rate than in the 1500’s. The harvesting methods have been hand collecting by divers until the early 1960’s, dredging from the 1500’s to the present, and hardhat diving from 1912 to the early 1960’s. Since the mid 1900’s, Japan and other countries of the western Pacific rim have inundated world markets with cultured pearls that are of better quality and are cheaper than natural pearls, and the marketing of natural pearls has nearly ended. The pearl oyster fishery in Colombia ended in the 1940’s, but it has continued in Venezuela with the fishermen selling the meats to support themselves; previously most meats had been discarded. A small quantity of pearls is now taken, and the fishery, which comprised about 3,000 fishermen in 1947, comprised about 300 in 2002.
