The Maintenance and Consequences of a Low Quality Diet in Poecilia Latipinna

The adaptive significance of herbivory in nature is not well understood. In order to document the conditions that select for an herbivorous feeding habit, we must first understand how such a diet is maintained, and the consequences of doing so. A few studies have begun to reveal mechanisms of maintaining herbivory (i.e. selective feeding, diet mixing, etc.) and the associated life history responses (i.e. growth, reproduction, etc.) in terrestrial and marine systems; however, studies of this kind are underrepresented in the freshwater literature. In this study, I use the sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna) as a model organism to examine diet selectivity and the effects of an herbivorous diet on growth. To study food selectivity, sailfin mollies were fed either disturbed or intact periphyton mats from one of three localities within the Everglades (Water Conservation Area 3B, the Gap, or Chekika). Mats are structured with palatable algal species (i.e. greens and diatoms) comprising the inner components of the mat, and unpalatable species (i.e. cyanobacteria) comprising the outer edges. Fish gut contents were analyzed for each treatment and periphyton locality. Results suggest that when provided access to the inner components of the mats, fish preferentially eat more palatable algae. In a second experiment, effects of an herbivorous diet were examined using neonate sailfin mollies. Fish were fed either commercial food flakes, commercial algae flakes, or ground periphyton, and growth rate was measured weekly, from birth to 21 days. Fish fed the commercial diets grew at a faster rate and reached a larger final size than those fed periphyton. These results suggest that a periphyton diet is limited in nutritional elements compared to a pure algae diet and herbivorous organisms feeding upon it may experience negative effects on growth. By studying the costs and benefits of herbivory in a freshwater system, this paper contributes to a larger study of the question of why herbivory would evolve as an adaptation when seemingly inefficient compared to carnivorous and omnivorous diets.

Entretenimientos, fiestas, juegos y placeres en la corte de los reyes de Aragón en el siglo xiv Steffano

Este trabajo estudia la presencia e importancia de las diversiones y el placer en distintos momentos de la vida de la corte de los reyes de Aragón: las prostitutas, dirigidas por el rey Arlot, la música, el juego, el baile o los juglares, observando el aumento de su presencia a lo largo del siglo xiv, con el correlativo aumento de los gastos. También se observa el incremento en el lujo y la complejidad de estas actividades y la siempre mayor presencia de elementos espectaculares como bestias, carros, figuras alegóricas y otros entremeses en coronaciones, bodas o entradas reales, todos ellos aspectos de la progresiva glorificación de la monarquía.

Avoiding Overfitting in Inverse Modeling of Chloride Migration in Concrete

Inverse analysis for reactive transport of chlorides through concrete in the presence of electric field is presented. The model is solved using MATLAB’s built-in solvers “pdepe.m” and “ode15s.m”. The results from the model are compared with experimental measurements from accelerated migration test and a function representing the lack of fit is formed. This function is optimised with respect to varying amount of key parameters defining the model. Levenberg-Marquardt trust-region optimisation approach is employed. The paper presents a method by which the degree of inter-dependency between parameters and sensitivity (significance) of each parameter towards model predictions can be studied on models with or without clearly defined governing equations. Eigen value analysis of the Hessian matrix was employed to investigate and avoid over-parametrisation in inverse analysis. We investigated simultaneous fitting of parameters for diffusivity, chloride binding as defined by Freundlich isotherm (thermodynamic) and binding rate (kinetic parameter). Fitting of more than 2 parameters, simultaneously, demonstrates a high degree of parameter inter-dependency. This finding is significant as mathematical models for representing chloride transport rely on several parameters for each mode of transport (i.e., diffusivity, binding, etc.), which combined may lead to unreliable simultaneous estimation of parameters.

Investigating voice

So, when it came to deciding upon an area of research, how I used my own voice became the main focus in a broader investigation of voice within sonic environments. I wanted to explore, for my own practice, what effect the inclusion of the human voice may have within a composition. For the purposes of my research, sonic environment does not refer to specific types of environment (i.e., rural, urban etc.); rather, it refers to the use of field recordings of sounds from my own everyday life, for example house keys, the rain, a squeaky door.

Cursos de Almacenamiento y Enseñanza de Informática Documentaria, Usuarios de la Información Científica y Tecnológica y Formación de Colecciones Audiovisuales

Nos encontramos a escasos 8 años del siglo XXI y la información que cobra día a día más auge y más importancia, el acelerado devenir tecnológico y los descubrimientos científicos, hacen que el bibliotecario sea un transmisor de innovación y comunicación que se desenvuelva en un mundo competitivo, en donde debe ser agresivo, dinámico y capaz de adoptar todo ese cúmulo tecnológico y científico si quiere sobrevivir en el futuro como profesional.Si retrocedemos cinco años, nos damos cuenta que la Bibliotecología es una de las disciplinas que más ha evolucionado con respecto a términos relacionados con gestión automatizada de información. Palabras como scanners, videodisco, reconocimiento de caracteres ópticos, CD-ROM, CD-I (Disco compacto interactivo), etc., forman parte del vocabulario bibliotecológico que ha sido incorporado por los profesionales quienes se desenvuelven en el complicado mundo de la información.
