Efecto de período crítico y niveles de infestación por cogollero Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) para la producción de chilote en maíz de primera (Lepidoptera: noctuidae)

Con el objetivo determinar el efecto de nivel de infestación del gusano cogollero, spodoptera frugiperda (j.e. Smith) en diferente periodo críticos sobre el rendimiento de chilote en época de primera, se llevó a cabo un experimento en el centro nacional de investigación de granos básicos de medina “san Cristóbal” el cual está ubicado en el km. 14 carretera norte, Managua, Nicaragua. Se usó un diseño experimental de bloques completos al azar con 6 bloques y 16 tratamiento. La parcela conto de 3 surcos con 4 metros de largo, para una área por parcela de 9.12m2, evaluándose el surco central. Los tratamientos consistieron en combinaciones de dos factores: periodos de infestación y niveles de infestación, este último dentro de cada periodo de infestación. Se tuvieron tres periodos de infestación 1) 11-24 días después de germinado (DDG), 2) 24-39 (DDG) ,3) 39-46 (DDG). Los niveles de infestación esperado fueron 100%, 40%, y 0% de las plantas infestadas. Se presentó un insecticida chlorpyrifos a dosis de 1.42 1t/ha. (1 1t/mz). En forma de cebo mezclado con aserrín 37.57 kg/ha. (26.4 kg/mz) agregándole galón y medio de agua. Una vez preparando el cebo este se aplicó directamente al cogollo. Las aplicaciones se realizaron en un porcentaje de plantas de cada parcela para así dejar el nivel de infestación deseado, se realizaron recuentos antes de cada aplicación para determinar el porcentaje de infestación, al momento de realizar los recuentos se encontraron el número de plantas de cada parcela esto para determinar el porcentaje de plantas que necesitaban aplicación las cuales se escogieron al azar. Los resultado demuestran que no hubo efecto de niveles de infestación sobre rendimiento de chilote, en este último no hubo efecto significativo, pero existe la tendencia que periodo tardíos de infestación por cogollero s. frugiperda, los rendimientos de chilote bajan. Como conclusión se tiene que no hubo efecto de niveles de infestación y periodo de infestación por cogollero s. frugiperda para lsa producción de chilote en época de primera. En las recomendaciones se tiene que no hay que realizar aplicaciones de producto químicos contra el cogollero s. frugiperda en la producción de chilote bajo estas infestaciones y de realizar otro estudio donde se estableció otros periodos de infestación y periodo crítico como también otro lugares épocas y densidades.

Exact analytical expressions for the potential of electrical double layer interactions for a sphere-plate system.

Exact, closed-form analytical expressions are presented for evaluating the potential energy of electrical double layer (EDL) interactions between a sphere and an infinite flat plate for three different types of interactions: constant potential, constant charge, and an intermediate case as given by the linear superposition approximation (LSA). By taking advantage of the simpler sphere-plate geometry, simplifying assumptions used in the original Derjaguin approximation (DA) for sphere-sphere interaction are avoided, yielding expressions that are more accurate and applicable over the full range of κa. These analytical expressions are significant improvements over the existing equations in the literature that are valid only for large κa because the new equations facilitate the modeling of EDL interactions between nanoscale particles and surfaces over a wide range of ionic strength.

Population-based local search for protein folding simulation in the MJ energy model and cubic lattices

We present experimental results on benchmark problems in 3D cubic lattice structures with the Miyazawa-Jernigan energy function for two local search procedures that utilise the pull-move set: (i) population-based local search (PLS) that traverses the energy landscape with greedy steps towards (potential) local minima followed by upward steps up to a certain level of the objective function; (ii) simulated annealing with a logarithmic cooling schedule (LSA). The parameter settings for PLS are derived from short LSA-runs executed in pre-processing and the procedure utilises tabu lists generated for each member of the population. In terms of the total number of energy function evaluations both methods perform equally well, however. PLS has the potential of being parallelised with an expected speed-up in the region of the population size. Furthermore, both methods require a significant smaller number of function evaluations when compared to Monte Carlo simulations with kink-jump moves. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Stock structure of Atlantic herring Clupea harengus in the Norwegian Sea and adjacent waters

The genetic structure of Atlantic herring Clupea harengus L. was investigated in its north-easterly distribution in the Norwegian Sea and adjacent waters, using 23 neutral and one non-neutral (Cpa111) microsatellite loci. Fish from the suspected 2 main populations - the Norwegian spring-spawning herring (NSSH) and the Icelandic summer-spawning herring (ISSH) - were collected at spawning locations in their respective spawning seasons from 2009 to 2012. Samples were also collected from Norwegian autumn spawning locations, from different local Norwegian fjords such as the inner part of Trondheimsfjorden, Lindås pollene, Landvikvannet and Lusterfjorden, as well as from suspected Faroese spawning components. The observed level of genetic differentiation was significant but low (F_ST = 0.007) and mostly attributable to the differentiation of the local Norwegian fjord populations. The locus Cpa111, which was detected to putatively be under positive selection, exhibited the highest FST value (0.044). The observed genetic patterns were robust to exclusion of this locus. Landvikvannet herring was also genetically distinguishable from the 3 other fjord populations. In addition, the present study does not support genetic structuring among the ISSH and the NSSH.

Autonomous Surface Vehicle Docking Manoeuvre with Visual Information

This work presents a hybrid coordinated manoeuvre for docking an autonomous surface vehicle with an autonomous underwater vehicle. The control manoeuvre uses visual information to estimate the AUV relative position and attitude in relation to the ASV and steers the ASV in order to dock with the AUV. The AUV is assumed to be at surface with only a small fraction of its volume visible. The system implemented in the autonomous surface vehicle ROAZ, developed by LSA-ISEP to perform missions in river environment, test autonomous AUV docking capabilities and multiple AUV/ASV coordinated missions is presented. Information from a low cost embedded robotics vision system (LSAVision), along with inertial navigation sensors is fused in an extended Kalman filter and used to determine AUV relative position and orientation to the surface vehicle The real time vision processing system is described and results are presented in operational scenario.

Les troubles liés aux événements traumatiques: dépistage, évaluation et traitements.

OBJECTIF Informer les médecins de première ligne concernant le dépistage, le diagnostic et le traitement des troubles psychologiques associés aux événements traumatiques. QUALITÉ DES DONNÉES Les recensions proviennent de recherches via les banques de données PsycLIT, PsyINFO, PILOTS et MEDLINE (de janvier 1985 à décembre 2000) utilisant les termes « acute stress disorder », « posttraumatic stress disorder », « traumatic stress », « psychotherapy », « psychosocial treatment », « treatment » et « pharmacotherapy ». Les recommandations concernant le traitement de l’état de stress aigu (ÉSA) et du trouble de stress post-traumatique (TSPT) reposent sur des données probantes provenant d’essais thérapeutiques d’excellente qualité. Les conclusions portant sur le diagnostic et l’évaluation reposent sur les plus récentes études épidémiologiques ainsi que sur des consensus et des opinions d’experts. PRINCIPAL MESSAGE Très souvent, l’ÉSA et le TSPT sont sous-diagnostiqués et sous-traités. Les médecins de famille sont susceptibles de recevoir des patients souffrant de ces troubles. Le dépistage précoce en première ligne repose sur une écoute attentive, sur une relation chaleureuse et sécurisante avec le patient et sur la recherche de difficultés d’adaptation en lien avec un événement traumatique. Idéalement, les individus souffrant d’un ÉSA ou d’un TSPT sont orientés vers une ressource spécialisée. Si de telles ressources ne sont pas accessibles, le médecin peut offrir des conseils et prescrire une médication en fonction des symptômes. CONCLUSION Les médecins de famille peuvent contribuer à identifier et traiter les patients souffrant de l’un ou l’autre de ces troubles.

Enhanced Model Selection for motion segmentation

In this paper a novel rank estimation technique for trajectories motion segmentation within the Local Subspace Affinity (LSA) framework is presented. This technique, called Enhanced Model Selection (EMS), is based on the relationship between the estimated rank of the trajectory matrix and the affinity matrix built by LSA. The results on synthetic and real data show that without any a priori knowledge, EMS automatically provides an accurate and robust rank estimation, improving the accuracy of the final motion segmentation
