Describe los cambios en la distribución, estructura por tamaños y estructura de la biomasa de los principales recursos pelágicos. La biomasa de anchoveta continúa en bajos niveles y su disminución está altamente correlacionada con el incremento de la salinidad y los bajos volúmenes de plancton. Otros recursos mesopelágicos y demersales como, vinciguerria, falso volador, y bagre han incrementado sus biomasas. El porcentaje de juveniles de la mayoría de recursos pesqueros se ha incrementado notablemente, indicándonos que se encuentran en proceso de renovación total de sus poblaciones. Las tallas de anchoveta mostraron un cambio significativo respecto a los cruceros anteriores, con predominio de ejemplares pequeños de talla modal en 6,15 cm, mientras que en sardina, jurel y caballa persiste la incidencia de buenos reclutamientos. En el aspecto reproductivo destaca la continuidad del proceso reproductivo de anchoveta iniciado en otoño de 1998, coincidente con el inicio del periodo post-niño. Se incluyen además algunas notas sobre distribución de cefalópodos.

Protein content of leaf-cutting ant queens before the nuptial flight and during the post-claustral phase. This study evaluated the crude protein content of queens of Atta sexdens before the nuptial flight and after the claustral phase in laboratory and field colonies. The hypothesis was that protein is used for survival of the queen and for early colony growth during the claustral phase. Additionally, the nest morphology, live biomass and adult population of field colonies were evaluated. Crude protein was determined by digestion of the organic material with sulfuric acid at high temperatures. The mean crude protein content was 123.23 ± 11.20 mg for females before the nuptial flight and 70.44 ± 12.21 mg for laboratory-reared queens after the claustral phase. The post-claustral crude protein content of field-collected queen was 55.90 ± 9.18 mg. With respect to the loss of crude protein as a function of duration of the claustral phase, laboratory-reared queens lost 52.79 mg and field-collected queens lost 67.33 mg compared to females before the nuptial flight. A positive linear correlation was observed between the weight of field-collected queens (256.4 ± 36.3 mg) and colony biomass (13.02 ± 9.12 g), but there was no correlation between biomass and nest depth (13.11 ± 3.82 cm). As expected, the present results support the hypothesis that protein is used for survival of the queen and for early colony growth, as demonstrated by the reduction in crude protein content as a function of duration of the claustral phase. To our knowledge, this is the first study to provide data of the dynamics of protein reserves in leaf-cutting ant queens during the claustral phase.

Until recently, the hard X-ray, phase-sensitive imaging technique called grating interferometry was thought to provide information only in real space. However, by utilizing an alternative approach to data analysis we demonstrated that the angular resolved ultra-small angle X-ray scattering distribution can be retrieved from experimental data. Thus, reciprocal space information is accessible by grating interferometry in addition to real space. Naturally, the quality of the retrieved data strongly depends on the performance of the employed analysis procedure, which involves deconvolution of periodic and noisy data in this context. The aim of this article is to compare several deconvolution algorithms to retrieve the ultra-small angle X-ray scattering distribution in grating interferometry. We quantitatively compare the performance of three deconvolution procedures (i.e., Wiener, iterative Wiener and Lucy-Richardson) in case of realistically modeled, noisy and periodic input data. The simulations showed that the algorithm of Lucy-Richardson is the more reliable and more efficient as a function of the characteristics of the signals in the given context. The availability of a reliable data analysis procedure is essential for future developments in grating interferometry.

Les troubles de l'humeur sont très fréquents dans la période périnatale. Ils se manifestent sous forme d'une humeur dépressive « sub-clinique » voire sous la forme d'une dépression post-partum avérée. Cette « dépressivité » provoque des perturbations des comportements de parentage, des troubles de la relation à l'enfant et débouchent sur des difficultés émotionnelles, cognitives et comportementales de l'enfant. Plusieurs facteurs peuvent néanmoins tempérer cet enchaînement. L'étude présentée dans cet article évalue dans quelle mesure l'alliance familiale et la satisfaction conjugale modèrent le lien entre dépressivité et développement de l'enfant. Cinquante-sept familles ont participé à l'étude avec leur bébé de trois mois. La dépressivité maternelle a été évaluée par entretien et par questionnaire. L'alliance familiale a été évaluée dans le Jeu Trilogique de Lausanne. La satisfaction conjugale et les symptômes de l'enfant sont rapportés par questionnaires par la mère. Les résultats montrent que (i) le niveau de dépressivité dans notre population est conforme à celui rapporté dans la littérature, (ii) il y a un lien entre dépressivité et difficultés de l'enfant, (iii) ces liens sont effectivement modérés par la satisfaction conjugale, qui joue le rôle de facteur protecteur, et par l'alliance familiale, qui joue le rôle de facteur aggravant. Ces résultats montrent qu'il est indispensable de tenir compte du contexte relationnel dans lequel la mère évolue, afin de pouvoir comprendre sous quelles conditions des troubles de l'humeur maternels vont affecter le développement de l'enfant.

According to recent crystallographic studies, the TCR-alpha beta contacts MHC class I-bound antigenic peptides via the polymorphic V gene-encoded complementarity-determining region 1 beta (CDR1 beta) and the hypervariable (D)J-encoded CDR3 beta and CDR3 alpha domains. To evaluate directly the relative importance of CDR1 beta polymorphism on the fine specificity of T cell responses in vivo, we have taken advantage of congenic V beta a and V beta b mouse strains that differ by a CDR1 polymorphism in the V beta 10 gene segment. The V beta 10-restricted CD8+ T cell response to a defined immunodominant epitope was dramatically reduced in V beta a compared with V beta b mice, as measured either by the expansion of V beta 10+ cells or by the binding of MHC-peptide tetramers. These data indicate that V beta polymorphism has an important impact on TCR-ligand binding in vivo, presumably by modifying the affinity of CDR1 beta-peptide interactions.
