The Oman exotics : a key to the understanding of the Neotethyan geodynamic evolution

The study of the exotic blocks of the Hawasina Nappes (Sultanate of Oman) leads to give apposit data that allow us to propose a new paleogeographic evolution of the Oman margin in time and space. A revised classification of exotic blocks into different paleogeographical units is presented. Two newly introduced stratigraphic groups, the Ramaq Group (Ordovician to Triassic) and the Al Buda'ah Group (upper Permian to Jurassic) are interpreted as tilted blocks related to the Oman continental margin. The Kawr Group (middle Triassic to Cretaceous) is redefined and interpreted as an atoll-type seamount. The paleogeography and paleoenvironments of these units are integrated into a new scheme of the Neotethyan rifting history. Brecciae and olisto¬liths of the Hawasina series are interpreted to have originated from tectonic movements affecting the Oman margin and the Neotethyan ocean floor. The breccias of late Permian age were generated by the extension processes affecting the margin, and by the creation of the Neotethyan oceanic floor. The breccias of mid-late Triassic age coincide in time with the collision of the Cimmerian continents with Eurasia. In constrast, the breccias of late Jurassic and Cretaceous age are interpreted as resulting to the creation of a new oceanic crust (Semail) off the Oman margin

Controlo de segurança de barragens, Utilização de Métodos de Retroanálise na identificação de parâmetros relativos a propriedades dos materiais

A água é um factor fundamental na vida das comunidades, como elemento vital, mas também como factor de produção essencial na irrigação dos terrenos e no fabrico de utensílios e de materiais de construção. Por outro lado, os cursos de água, na medida em que são obstáculos naturais, por vezes de difícil transposição, têm grande importância na defesa das comunidades e, como vias privilegiadas de comunicação, contribuem significativamente para o desenvolvimento económico dos países (Castro: 1998). A utilização da água para abastecimento das populações ou para aplicações agrícolas ou industriais exige a construção de diversos tipos de obras, como barragens para formação de albufeiras, sistemas de captação, de transporte e de tratamento de águas, etc... Em regra, estas obras surgem integradas em sistemas complexos, frequentemente de fins múltiplos, designados de aproveitamentos hidráulicos. É neste contexto que surge a construção de barragens.

Contribution of ultrasonographic examination to the prenatal detection of chromosomal abnormalities in 19 centres across Europe.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the prenatal detection of chromosomal abnormalities by fetal ultrasonographic examination in a large database provided by 19 Registries of Congenital Anomalies from 11 European countries. This study included 1738 cases of chromosomal abnormalities, liveborn, stillborn or termination of pregnancy regardless of maternal age from a population of 664,340 births during the period 1996 - 1998. The most frequent chromosomal anomalies were Down syndrome (n=1050), trisomy 18 (n=191), Turner syndrome (n=125), trisomy 13 (n=86), and triploidy (n=56). Fetal ultrasonographic examination resulted in the prenatal detection of 37.7% of the chromosomal abnormalities, thereby resulting in a reduction of 28.6% in their prevalence at birth due to terminations of pregnancy. The detection rate by ultrasound examination varied according to local policies of prenatal diagnosis : it was lower in countries where routine scan were not performed and higher in countries in which at least one routine anomaly scan during the second trimester of pregnancy was performed. The ultrasound detection varied according to the specific chromosomal anomaly and was lowest for Klinefelter syndrome (5.7%) and highest for triploidy (78.6%). For Down syndrome it was 26.4%. Termination of pregnancy was performed in 75.9% of the cases. Among the 655 cases detected by ultrasound, the most frequent ultrasound signs by category of chromosomal abnormalities were analysed. This study shows that ultrasound screening is an important tool in the prenatal detection of chromosomal abnormalities in Europe, leading to a significant reduction in the prevalence of livebirth children with chromosomal anomalies.

Seasonality of Pelecinus polyturator (Drury) (Hymenoptera, Pelecinidae) in the Atlantic Rainforest of São Paulo State, Brazil

Seasonality of Pelecinus polyturator (Drury) (Hymenoptera, Pelecinidae) in the Atlantic Rainforest of São Paulo State, Brazil. A survey of the parasitoid wasp Pelecinus polyturator (Drury, 1773) (Hymenoptera, Pelecinidae) was carried out with five Malaise traps/area in five areas in the Atlantic Rainforest of São Paulo State, Brazil, between November 2009 and October 2010. The sampling effort in each locality amounted to 1,825 trap-days. Data were obtained from a total of 317 exemplars of P. polyturator, corresponding to 108 females and 209 males. The average sex ratio of the studied population was 0.52. The highest occurrence of P. polyturator was observed between November and March with frequency peak in January; about 95% of the specimens studied were captured at altitudes close to 1,000 m above sea level.

Substance P-like-immunoreactive sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia of the chick embryo: ontogenesis and influence of peripheral targets.

The expression of substance P (SP) was studied in sensory neurons of developing chick lumbosacral dorsal root ganglia (DRG) by using a mixture of periodic acid, lysine and paraformaldehyde as fixative and a monoclonal antibody for SP-like immunostaining. The first SP-like-immunoreactive DRG cells appeared first at E5, then rapidly increased in number to reach a peak (88% of ganglion cells) at E8, and finally declined (59% at E12, 51% after hatching). The fall of the SP-like-positive DRG cells resulted from two concomitant events affecting a subset of small B-neurons: a loss of neuronal SP-like immunoreactivity and cell death. After one hindlimb resection at an early (E6) or late (E12) stage of development (that is before or after establishment of peripheral connections), the DRG were examined 6 days later. In both cases, a drastic neuronal death occurred in the ispilateral DRG. However, the resection at E6 did not change the percentage of SP-like-positive neurons, while the resection at E12 severely reduced the proportion of SP-like-immunoreactive DRG cells (25%). In conclusion, connections established between DRG and peripheral target tissues not only promote the survival of sensory neurons, but also control the maintenance of SP-like-expression. Factors issued from innervated targets such as NGF would support the survival of SP-expressing DRG cells and enhance their SP content while other factors present in skeletal muscle or skin would hinder SP expression and therefore lower SP levels in a subset of primary sensory neurons.

Peces acompañantes de la merluza peruana en otoño 2003. Crucero BIC Olaya 0305-06

Se analiza la situación de los principales recursos demersales durante la realización del Crucero 0305-06 a bordo del BIC Olaya, del 20 de mayo al 18 de junio 2003, en el área de Punta Malabrigo a Puerto Pizarro entre las isobatas de 20 a 200 bz de profundidad. Las especies acompañantes de la merluza peruana, más importantes en las capturas, y en orden de importancia por su mayor ocurrencia y tonelaje fueron: Ctenosciaena peruviana (bereche con barbo), Peprilus medius (chiri), Cynoscion analis (cachema), Prionotus stephanophrys (falso volador), Hippoglossina macrops (lenguado ojón). La concentración del oxígeno disuelto en el fondo favoreció la presencia de los recursos demersales acompañantes de la merluza. Estas especies con bajas densidades se distribuyeron en forma muy dispersa, el lenguado ojón fue el recurso que tuvo amplia distribución. Las mayores abundancias relativas se encontraron principalmente en las subáreas A (3°23’–4°S) y B (4°-5°S) y en los estratos de profundidad I (20–50 bz) y II (50–100 bz), también se dan apreciaciones sobre las estructuras de tallas y la madurez gonadal de algunas especies.
