Estructura especiológica del subsistema costero. E/P San Jacinto I 9512-9601

Se presenta la composición especiológica, el análisis comunitario y distribución de las capturas, obtenidas durante la prospección pesquera EP San Jacinto 9512-9601, desde Puerto Pizarro (03°29,0S) hasta Ilo (17°38.4S). Los arrastres de fondo mostraron que entre Puerto Pizarro y Salaverry se encuentra la mayor diversidad de especies (95), constituyendo los peces (58) el 93% (3,391 kg); destacan la "merluza" Merluccius gayi peruanus (1.311,1 Kg), el "falso volador" Prionotus stephanophrys (626,1 kg), la "cabrilla" Paralabrax humeralis (316,4 kg) y la "lorna" Sciaena deliciosa (247,3 kg). La mayor riqueza (33 especies) y el mayor índice de diversidad se obtuvo en la subárea B (04°-05°S), pero la mayor captura (2.295,2 kg) correspondió a la subárea C (05°-06° S). Los arrastres de media agua, se realizaron desde la desembocadura del río Piura hasta Ilo. El "camaroncito rojo" Pleuroncodes monodon alcanzó el 94% (1.089 kg) de la captura total, pero su distribución abarcó desde los 12° S hasta Ilo con las mayores capturas en las subáreas J (12°.13° S y L(14°-15° S) con 351 y 700 kg respectivamente. Los peces sólo representaron el 6% (46 kg) del volumen total de captura.

Traitement et prévention de la maladie thromboembolique veineuse: quoi de neuf ? [Treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolic disease: what's new?]

Venous thromboembolic (VTE) disease is frequent and questions regarding its treatment or prevention are numerous. This review is aimed at summarizing and pointing out the novelties on VTE treatment and prevention recently published in the Chest journal earlier this year (8th edition of ACCP guidelines). Generally, the aim of guidelines and of this review as well, is to offer guidance to practictioners in making the most appropriate choice for treating or preventing VTE. They are not intended for strict application and doctors will always have to decide individually case by case taking into account patients preference and the risk-benefit balance.

In situ introducer sheath dilatation for complex aortic access.

Aortic access problems due to diseased or small peripheral vessels are a major issue in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). In the emergency setting, like aortic rupture after blunt trauma, or in patients with a hostile abdomen, a more proximal access to the aorta is not a pleasant perspective. We developed in situ introducer sheath dilatation as a bail-out technique for patients with difficult aortic access under various circumstances including EVAR, intra-aortic balloon pump insertion and cannulation for perfusion. The method described allows to increase the access vessel diameter by 50% (from 6 to 9 mm) or the luminal circumference from 18 to 27 F. We have used this technique in five patients without complication, very much in contrast to the traditionally practiced 'forced device insertion'.

Examining non-response bias in substance use research-Are late respondents proxies for non-respondents?

BACKGROUND: Non-response is a major concern among substance use epidemiologists. When differences exist between respondents and non-respondents, survey estimates may be biased. Therefore, researchers have developed time-consuming strategies to convert non-respondents to respondents. The present study examines whether late respondents (converted former non-participants) differ from early respondents, non-consenters or silent refusers (consent givers but non-participants) in a cohort study, and whether non-response bias can be reduced by converting former non-respondents. METHODS: 6099 French- and 5720 German-speaking Swiss 20-year-old males (more than 94% of the source population) completed a short questionnaire on substance use outcomes and socio-demographics, independent of any further participation in a cohort study. Early respondents were those participating in the cohort study after standard recruitment procedures. Late respondents were non-respondents that were converted through individual encouraging telephone contact. Early respondents, non-consenters and silent refusers were compared to late respondents using logistic regressions. Relative non-response biases for early respondents only, for respondents only (early and late) and for consenters (respondents and silent refusers) were also computed. RESULTS: Late respondents showed generally higher patterns of substance use than did early respondents, but lower patterns than did non-consenters and silent refusers. Converting initial non-respondents to respondents reduced the non-response bias, which might be further reduced if silent refusers were converted to respondents. CONCLUSION: Efforts to convert refusers are effective in reducing non-response bias. However, converted late respondents cannot be seen as proxies of non-respondents, and are at best only indicative of existing response bias due to persistent non-respondents.

Evolving olfactory systems on the fly.

The detection of odour stimuli in the environment is universally important for primal behaviours such as feeding, mating, kin interactions and escape responses. Given the ubiquity of many airborne chemical signals and the similar organisation of animal olfactory circuits, a fundamental question in our understanding of the sense of smell is how species-specific behavioural responses to odorants can evolve. Recent comparative genomic, developmental and physiological studies are shedding light on this problem by providing insights into the genetic mechanisms that underlie anatomical and functional evolution of the olfactory system. Here we synthesise these data, with a particular focus on insect olfaction, to address how new olfactory receptors and circuits might arise and diverge, offering glimpses into how odour-evoked behaviours could adapt to an ever-changing chemosensory world.

detenção e a sua prática em Cabo Verde – O caso particular da Cidade da Praia

O presente estudo faz uma abordagem da prática da detenção em Cabo Verde. Apesar de não existir informações disponíveis sobre as estatísticas das detenções ilegais em Cabo Verde, a verdade é que frequentemente presenciamos situações que nos afiguram, no mínimo, como sendo uma privação ilegal da liberdade de outrem. Assim, consciente da existência de um número significativo de detenções ilegais, a obtenção dos dados processou-se mediante a aplicação de um inquérito por questionário a 28 agentes da Policia Nacional, sendo 24 agentes da Piquete da Esquadra da PN do Palmarejo e 4 agentes da Brigada Anti-crime e de Investigação Criminal na cidade da Praia. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que as detenções ilegais verificadas na Cidade da Praia estão intimamente ligadas ao diminuto conhecimento jurídico de quem as efectua.

Relocation Assistance and Advisory Services, March 24, 2009

This brochure provides general information about relocation assistance provided by the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) for those individuals who may be required to move as a result of a highway project. It is not intended to be a legal document that comprehensively explains every right or obligation you have as established by Chapter 316, Code of Iowa; Federal Public Laws 91-646 and 100-17; and 49 CFR. Your relocation adviser will provide the assistance you need to successfully relocate to a suitable replacement property. Your first contact with your relocation adviser will usually occur during the early stages of the appraisal process, and he or she will continue to work with you until you have moved and become established at a new location. Do not hesitate to ask questions so you are sure you understand the process, your rights and the benefits available to you. Please let your DOT relocation adviser know your needs and preferences. If your relocation adviser is unable to help you with a specific problem or concern, he or she may know of another person or an organization that can help you. DO NOT MOVE UNTIL YOU HAVE CONTACTED YOUR DOT RELOCATION ADVISER. Only then will you be sure you are not jeopardizing your potential rights and benefits under this program. No person who lawfully occupies real property will be required by DOT to move without being notified in writing at least 90 days in advance.
