Seven stages in the life history of the milkfish C. chanos , are recognized and suggested: A, embryonic; B, yolksac larval; C, larval; D, postlarval; E, juvenile; F, subadult; G. adult. An outline is presented of the life history. It is concluded that the milkfish, throughout the known stages of their life history are well adapted and equipped for optimal survival. High swimming performance, broad flexibility in feeding habits, high adaptability to a wide range of physicochemical conditions of the environment are but a few of the adaptations. The main driving force in all developmental stages is the evolutionary response to food distribution and availability followed by predation pressure.

The temperature dependence of the stress-induced martensite (SIM) formation in a Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al (Ti-1023) alloy under compressive loading has been studied. At low temperatures, the stress level at which martensite starts to form increases linearly with the deformation temperature, while the stress at which the deformation switches to regular plastic deformation is roughly temperature independent. A thermostatistical model for dislocation evolution is employed to describe deformation twinning in martensite. Combined effects of twinning induced plasticity and solid solution strengthening are considered in terms of temperature variations. The SIM effect disappears on deformation at temperatures beyond ~ 233 ° C, which is close to the predicted Ms temperature of 240°C. The thermostatistical model predicts a transition from twinned martensite to pure slip at 250°C. By providing a model to predict the martensite formation, and by describing deformation twinning, the present work provides a number of tools that may be employed to conceive new titanium alloys combining improved strength and ductility. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

We study the problem of preprocessing a large graph so that point-to-point shortest-path queries can be answered very fast. Computing shortest paths is a well studied problem, but exact algorithms do not scale to huge graphs encountered on the web, social networks, and other applications. In this paper we focus on approximate methods for distance estimation, in particular using landmark-based distance indexing. This approach involves selecting a subset of nodes as landmarks and computing (offline) the distances from each node in the graph to those landmarks. At runtime, when the distance between a pair of nodes is needed, we can estimate it quickly by combining the precomputed distances of the two nodes to the landmarks. We prove that selecting the optimal set of landmarks is an NP-hard problem, and thus heuristic solutions need to be employed. Given a budget of memory for the index, which translates directly into a budget of landmarks, different landmark selection strategies can yield dramatically different results in terms of accuracy. A number of simple methods that scale well to large graphs are therefore developed and experimentally compared. The simplest methods choose central nodes of the graph, while the more elaborate ones select central nodes that are also far away from one another. The efficiency of the suggested techniques is tested experimentally using five different real world graphs with millions of edges; for a given accuracy, they require as much as 250 times less space than the current approach in the literature which considers selecting landmarks at random. Finally, we study applications of our method in two problems arising naturally in large-scale networks, namely, social search and community detection.

The T2K experiment observes indications of ν(μ) → ν(e) appearance in data accumulated with 1.43×10(20) protons on target. Six events pass all selection criteria at the far detector. In a three-flavor neutrino oscillation scenario with |Δm(23)(2)| = 2.4×10(-3) eV(2), sin(2)2θ(23) = 1 and sin(2)2θ(13) = 0, the expected number of such events is 1.5±0.3(syst). Under this hypothesis, the probability to observe six or more candidate events is 7×10(-3), equivalent to 2.5σ significance. At 90% C.L., the data are consistent with 0.03(0.04) < sin(2)2θ(13) < 0.28(0.34) for δ(CP) = 0 and a normal (inverted) hierarchy.

Arabidopsis halleri is a model plant for Zn and Cd hyperaccumulation. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the chemical forms of Cd, its distribution in leaves, and Cd accumulation and tolerance. An interspecific cross was carried out between A. halleri and the non-tolerant and non-hyperaccumulating relative A. lyrata providing progenies segregating for Cd tolerance and accumulation. Cd speciation and distribution were investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and microfocused X-ray fluorescence. In A. lyrata and non-tolerant progenies, Cd was coordinated by S atoms only or with a small contribution of O groups. Interestingly, the proportion of O ligands increased in A. halleri and tolerant progenies, and they were predominant in most of them, while S ligands were still present. Therefore, the binding of Cd with O ligands was associated with Cd tolerance. In A. halleri, Cd was mainly located in the xylem, phloem, and mesophyll tissue, suggesting a reallocation process for Cd within the plant. The distribution of the metal at the cell level was further discussed. In A. lyrata, the vascular bundles were also Cd enriched, but the epidermis was richer in Cd as compared with the mesophyll. Cd was identified in trichomes of both species. This work demonstrated that both Cd speciation and localization were related to the tolerance character of the plant.

A nivel mundial, el sector lácteo enfrenta un importante desafío con respecto a la posibilidad de satisfacer la demanda de productos y derivados lácteos en la próxima década. En Argentina, en el caso del yogur, su consumo ha venido creciendo en las últimas dos décadas llegando a consumir más de 12 litros per cápita en 2009. SanCor es una de las principales empresas de productos lácteos en el mercado argentino y posee una participación importante del mercado de yogures, se ubica en segundo lugar después de la empresa Dannone. El objetivo general de la presente investigación consiste en identificar y proponer una estrategia de marketing para la empresa SanCor y su línea de yogures Yogs que le permita ganar una mayor participación en este mercado. Se define como población objetivo a consumidores hombres y mujeres, residentes en Argentina de clase media y/o alta, que busquen una bebida de rápida disponibilidad, saludable y les guste tanto el café, como el yogurt. Para el análisis se realiza una investigación de mercado donde se aplican encuestas y, mediante un análisis de elección múltiple, se estima la disposición a probar un yogur sabor a café. Los resultados indican que la marca y el sabor son los atributos que más incidencia tendrían en la elección del nuevo yogur, mientras el precio es un factor secundario de influencia. Finalmente se propone realizar una estrategia de relleno de línea de la marca Yogs innovando en un nuevo yogur sabor a café, esto basado en los resultados de las encuestas en las que se muestran que el 89 por ciento de los encuestados estarían dispuestos a probar este nuevo yogurt, apalancados en las fortalezas que cuenta la empresa y aprovechando la oportunidad de innovar en la línea de yogures por presentar este sector una demanda creciente y poder obtener una mayor participación en este mercado

En muchos colegios las reuniones de área son el único espacio programado por la institución para la interacción entre profesores del área. El Colegio Santafé de Bogotá es un ejemplo de ellos. En éste, las reuniones de área tenían un carácter eminentemente informativo, situación que parecía ser la causa de que el grupo de profesores de matemáticas no estuviera suficientemente cohesionado para el trabajo y de que en las reuniones de área no se trataran temas relacionados con asuntos propios de la enseñanza de las matemáticas. Con la consciencia de que lograr el consenso del equipo de profesores en cuanto a aspectos fundamentales para la formación matemática, es el primer paso de un proceso de largo plazo para mejorar la enseñanza de las matemáticas, se realizaron acciones tendientes a iniciar ese proceso y a promover el tratamiento de temas propios de la educación matemática entre los profesores. La experiencia que se narra en este artículo da cuenta de lo que sucedió en tres reuniones de área: la primera, de motivación; la segunda, de indagación y consenso; y la última, de lectura, debate y reflexión. Entre los resultados obtenidos con las acciones implementadas vale la pena destacar que se logró dentro del grupo de profesores explicitar inquietudes u opiniones en cuanto al quehacer matemático y unificar criterios en lo referente a la formación de aspectos relevantes de la matemática. Por otro lado, el trabajo mismo de investigación deja en quien lo realiza una lección sobre el continuo cuestionamiento y reflexión que se debe hacer sobre la propia práctica.
