In situ ecological assessment of the breeding grounds of palaemonid prawns was conducted in some selected locations around Ondo state coastal area between the months of April and September. Data obtained were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics. Three species of Palaemonid prawns were identified in four different locations within the study area with relative abundance ratio of 4:3:1. Macrobrachium macrobrachion, Nematopalaemon hastatus and Palaemon maculatus respectively. Sex ratio of 1 male to 5 females for M. macrobrachion, and 1 male to 2 females for N. hastatus and P. maculatus were observed with result showing significant relationships (P < 0.05) in distribution patterns across collection sites. Population distribution within the water column showed that palaemons are sub-lithoral prawns inhabiting maximum mean depth of 0.67m ± 0.025. Surface macro-phytes such as Eichhornia crassipies, Paspalum vaginatum, and Pistia stratiotes are common providing hiding spots for the prawn at the breeding ground. The mean soil pH across the sites stands at 6.67± 0.399 with the soil textural class that range from silty-loam to silty-clay. Also, the water quality parameters of study areas suggest that captive culture and rearing of Palaemons may be feasible outside the breeding areas.

Clarias species purchased from fish mongers from Ado – Ekiti, Ikun Ekiti, Itapaji – Ekiti Nigeria were examined for possible deformities in any part of their body. A total number of 360, 140, and 40 fish samples were from Ado – Ekiti, Ikun – Ekiti, and Itapaji – Ekiti respectively. Deformities of various types were observed only from Ado – Ekiti collection. The deformities observed are malformed mouth, big head, stumpy body, and multiple vertebral deformities. The possible cause (s) of the deformities may be as a result of stress, pollution from human activities or other factors such as poor nutrition, hereditary, diseases, etc. but these causes has not been properly determined

Visible upconversion luminescence was observed in Cr3+: Al2O3 crystal under focused femtosecond laser irradiation. The luminescence spectra show that the upconversion luminescence originates from the E-2-(4)A(2) transition of Cr3+. The dependence of the fluorescence intensity of Cr3+ on the pump power reveals that a two-photon absorption process dominates in the conversion of infrared radiation to the visible emission. It is suggested that the simultaneous absorption of two infrared photons produces the population of upper excited states, which leads to the characteristic visible emission from E-2 state of Cr3+.

Color centers and impurity defects of Ce:YAG crystals grown in reduction atmosphere by temperature gradient techniques have been investigated by means of gamma irradiation and thermal treatments. Four absorption bands associated with color centers or impurity defects at 235, 255, 294 and 370 nm were observed in as-grown crystals. Changes in optical intensity of the 235 and 370 nm bands after gamma irradiation indicate that they are associated with F+-type color center. Charge state change processes of Fe3+ impurity and Ce3+ ions take place in the irradiation process. The variations of Ce3+ ions concentration clearly indicate that Ce4+ ions exist in Ce:YAG crystals and gamma irradiations could increase the concentration of Ce3+ ions. Annealing treatments and the changes in optical density suggest that a heterovalent impurity ion associated with the 294 nm band seems to be present in the crystals. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Gamma-ray irradiation induced color centers and charge state recharge of impurity and doped ion in 10 at.% Yb:YAP have been studied. The change in the additional absorption (AA) spectra is mainly related to the charge exchange of the impurity Fe2+, Fe3+ and Yb3+ ions. Two impurity color center bands at 255 and 313 nm were attributed to Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions, respectively. The broad AA band centered at 385 nm may be associated with the cation vacancies and F-type center. The transition Yb3+ -> Yb2+ takes place in the process of gamma-irradiation. Oxygen annealing and gamma-ray irradiation lead to an opposite effect on the absorption properties of the Yb:YAP crystal. In the air annealing process, the transition Fe2+ -> Fe3+ and Yb2+ -> Yb3+ take place and the color centers responsible for the 385 nm band was destroyed. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Esta é uma tese sociológico-histórica sobre o constitucionalismo liberal na América Latina. A hipótese principal deste trabalho seria de que o liberalismo colocado em prática nas constituições latino-americanas durante o século XIX foi sofrendo algumas transformações que levaram à atenuação de sua proposta original. A matriz inicial extremamente focada na afirmação abstrata da individualidade natural e autocentrada das pessoas sujeitos de direito presente nas constituições promulgadas no século XIX passou por processos de redefinição e re-substancialização no decorrer do século XX e princípio do XXI. É o que chamamos de transformação da noção de pessoa. Nesse processo de atenuação transformadora, podemos, também, observar que o Estado não possui a mesma raison detre que possuía no século XIX. De maneira descontínua, no século XX e começo do XXI processos que demonstram a demanda por maior legitimidade das estruturas do Estado podem ser igualmente observados. Os dois principais marcos que nos permitiriam falar do processo de atenuação do liberalismo são: a incorporação dos direitos trabalhistas na primeira metade do século XX e os processos recentes de reconhecimento dos direitos das populações originárias e/ou afrodescendentes. Ao contrário do que algumas análises indicam, atestamos que essas reformas, por não representarem um rompimento definitivo com processos anteriores não têm colocado em cheque a concepção moderna do liberalismo constitucional. Modernidade essa que, como sustentamos na tese, tem a América Latina como um de seus principais protagonistas, não sendo correto admitir que a região é um agente histórico passivo e que seja colocada como periferia de um sistema externalizado. Por meio da análise qualitativa das constituições proclamadas em cinco países latino-americanos Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, México e Panamá foi possível colocar em uma perspectiva histórica como o liberalismo tem se atenuado, como a transformação da noção de pessoa tem acontecido e como o Estado, de maneira descontínua, tem sido transformado para se tornar mais legítimo
