Comparación de los ectoparasitos presentes en Columba livia y Zenaida auriculata

Columba livia y Zenaida auriculata son aves cosmopolitas, poseen una poblacion muy abundante debido a su capacidad para adaptarse a ambientes urbanos y son trasmisoras de diversas enfermedades. Existen diversos estudios de la fauna parasitaria, pero, no se ha evaluado si estas dos especies estan compartiendo sus ectoparasitos, lo cual aumentaria el riesgo de trasmision de enfermedades zoonoticas. Para lo cual, se realizo la captura de 60 ejemplares para C. livia y 10 para Z. auriculata, obteniendo tres especies de ectoparasitos presentes en las dos aves de estudio Phyconelloides sp, Columbicola sp y Columbicola baculoides, dos especies Echinodphaga cf. gallinae y Pseudolynchia canariesis unicamente en C. livia y dos especies Hohorstiella sp y Falculifer sp para Z. auriculata; el porcentaje de ectoparasitos en las dos aves de estudio es diferente en cada zona; del mismo modo el porcentaje de ectoparasitos presento diferencias para cada una de las partes del cuerpo evaluadas (ANOVA P-valor 2,357-11) el mayor porcentaje lo obtuvo la cola 0.54 y el menor fue dorso 0.32 para C. livia. La preferencia de los ectoparasitos por la cola se debe a la presencia de la glandula uropigial ya que es fuente de sustancias utiles para la supervivencia de los ectoparasitos.
Performance assessment of AODV routing protocol over temperature constraints in wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor network plays a vital role in the determination as well as evaluation of the performance behaviour of different routing protocols available in this domain. Here in this paper we evaluated one of the commonly used networks routing protocol-Ad-hoc on demand distance vector routing. This paper proposes an improved assessment about the AODV protocol over temperature specific constraints in the wireless sensor network. In this paper the performance of AODV protocol is judged on the basis of different layer's performance of network model like Application, MAC, Transport and physical layer in its association. Also it is contributing towards the assessment parameters such as average jitter, end to end delay, broadcasting, signalling and errors associated with temperature in a more particular way. This paper is presented to aid the researchers for their assessment towards the behaviour of AODV routing protocol. The simulation results show the assessment of AODV routing protocol under proposed real time Scenario
Classification and Shelflisting as Value Added: Some Remarks on the Relative Worth and Price of Predictability, Serendipity, and Depth of Access.

There seems to be general agreement in the library community that a predictably ordered system of classification, leading to easy browsability of a library collection either in the stacks or in an OPAC, is an indispensable requirement for the kind of access patrons have come to expect and for the reasonable success ofthe searching strategies they normally use. In this vein, the author examines the intrinsic value of browsing. In addition, with the help of some rough data compiled during a test conducted at Cornell University in the spring of 1994, he estimates the cost of maintaining the collocative and alphabetical integrity of sheflist files for works by or about individual literary authors.
Implementation of Novel Parallel Cyclic Convolution Algorithms in Clusters and Multi-Core Architectures

Abstract : We are proposing parallel constructs for circular correlation, suitable to be used in GPS receivers. We have preliminary Simulink models that yield the correct result for the proposed architectures. We also developed and validated, using field recorded GPS satellite data, a MATLAB implementation of the MIT-Quicksynch algorithm for fast circular correlation based on the sparse characteristics of the circular correlation output. Simulink models are underwork. We developed a new parallel one-dimensional FFT algorithm and implemented new parallel cyclic convolution algorithms.
Early Reading Instruction: What Science Really Tells Us about How to Teach Reading

Early Reading Instruction is a comprehensive analysis of the research evidence from early writing systems to computer models of reading. In this book, Diane McGuinness provides an innovative solution to the "reading war" -- the century-old debate over the efficacy of phonics (sound-based) versus whole-word (meaning- based) methods. She has developed a prototype -- a set of elements that are critical to the success of a reading method. McGuinness shows that all writing systems, without exception, are based on a sound unit in the language. This fact, and other findings by paleographers, provides a platform for the prototype. Other elements of the prototype are based on modern research. For example, observational studies in the classroom show that time spent on three activities strongly predicts reading success: learning phoneme/symbol correspondences, practice at blending and segmenting phonemes in words, and copying/writing words, phrases, and sentences. Most so-called literacy activities have no effect, and some, like sight word memorization, have a strongly negative effect. The National Reading Panel (2000) summarized the research on reading methods after screening out thousands of studies that failed to meet minimum scientific standards. In an in-depth analysis of this evidence, McGuinness shows that the most successful methods (children reading a year or more above age norms) include all the elements in the prototype. Finally, she argues, because phonics-type methods are consistently shown to be superior to whole-word methods in studies dating back to the 1960s, it makes no sense to continue this line of research. The most urgent question for future research is how to get the most effective phonics programs into the classroom.
Structure and Input-Output Properties in Networks of Nonlinear Systems

Abstract : In this project we developed an input-output approach to predict and engineer collective behavior in networks. This approach overcomes the complexity of the large-scale, nonlinear dynamical model by dividing the analysis and design tasks into two layers: At the network layer, we represent the nodes with appropriate input-output properties as abstractions of their detailed models and exploit these properties in conjunction with the interconnection structure to ascertain desirable behaviors. At the network layer, we represent the nodes with appropriate input-output properties as abstractions of their detailed models and exploit these properties in conjunction with the interconnection structure to ascertain desirable behaviors. At the node layer, we study the individual dynamical models to verify or assign the input-output properties without relying on knowledge of global network properties.

Reading competence and Advanced level physics

Language, for various reasons, tends to be a neglected area in the school physics curriculum. Discussion of "literacy" in the context of science teaching is limited, and many teachers are unclear about the issues involved. However, so-called "active reading" exercises have had an impact on the science curriculum up to GCSE level as part of a broader campaign for enhancing reading for learning. This has helped to highlight reading in science but without necessarily clarifying the issues or attempting to integrate results with what might be called "standard measures of progress". This study uses reading exercises constructed around topics in the Advanced level physics course, to investigate reading among physics students. Evidence of student progress and achievement such as homework marks and the A level grade, are related to students' responses on the exercises, to obtain an objective assessment of the value of language-related activities. Reasons for the choice of texts and methodologies are two-fold: From the point of view of the physics teacher, to allow an investigation into the range of skills and abilities which students demonstrate on language-based material. For the students involved, to make participating in the exercises useful and relevant to their studies. Analyses are directed at looking at the text, task and responses individually from a linguistic as well as a pedagogic perspective, and more particularly at the relationships between the areas. Connections between reading competence and achievement in physics are shown and suggestions are made on how teachers could encourage reading, monitor the reading competence of students and identify students with problems. Implications for future research into language in physics are also discussed.
Third generation of dynamic in-cockpit lighting system for driving simulators

The paper presents a systemic view of a structure of the system which allows illumination of the car simulator cockpit interior dynamically and describes recent features of its third generation. After a brief description of DYICOLIS's main idea and structure, a description of software and hardware implementation is presented. The core of the presented system is the generator of appropriate "shadow-light world", especially with use of car cockpit coulisse. Besides enhancements and refinements of already described functions, the paper depicts new features of the system. First, it is a unified approach for handling shadow-light world, joining together the previously separated static and dynamic interpretation. Such architecture allows us to bind 3D definition of projected virtual scenery with our shadow-light world generation, consequently with a possibility for automation of its creation process. Finally, the paper introduces incorporation of weather simulation into the shadow-light world, which indisputably affects the inner-car light conditions and also a look of patterns, which are projected onto the cockpit parts and the driver as well.
The Handbook Of Academic Writing: A Fresh Approach

The Handbook of Academic Writing offers practical advice to busy academics who want, and are often required, to integrate writing into their working lives. It defines what academic writing is, and the process of getting started through to completion, covering topics such as: Gaining momentum Reviewing and revising Self-discipline Writing regularly Writers' groups and retreatsAcademic writing is one of the most demanding tasks that all academics and researchers face. In some disciplines there is guidance on what is needed to be productive, successful writers; but in other disciplines there is no training, support or mentoring of any kind. This book helps those in both groups not only to improve their writing skills and strategies, but, equally importantly, to find satisfaction in engaging in regular and productive writing. Underpinned by a diverse range of literature, this book addresses the different dimensions of writing. The fresh approach that Murray and Moore explore in this book includes developing rhetorical knowledge, focusing on writing behaviours and understanding writing contexts. This book will help writers in academic contexts to develop a productive writing strategy, not only for research monitoring exercises, but also for the long term.
Predicting Enzyme Targets for Optimization of Metabolic Networks under Uncertainty

Recently, ensemble modeling was applied to metabolic networks for the sake of predicting the effects of genetic manipulations on the observed phenotype of the system. The ensemble of models is generated from experimental wild-type flux data and screened using phenotypic data from gene overexpression and knockout experiments, leaving predictive models. The need for data from multiple genetic perturbation experiments is an inherent limitation to this approach. In this investigation, ensemble modeling is used alongside elementary mode analysis to attempt to predict those enzymatic perturbations that are most likely to result in an increase in a target yield and a target flux when only the wild-type flux distribution is known. Elementary mode analysis indicates the maximum theoretical yield and its associated steady-state flux distribution(s), and the minimal cut set knockouts are determined that eliminate all but the highest-yield elementary modes. These knockouts and other perturbations are simulated using all of the ensemble models, and the distributions of predicted fluxes and yields over the models are compared to elucidate which reactions and metabolites most likely limit the target yield and flux. Additionally, a systematic method is developed to simultaneously identify multiple reactions that are responsible for bottlenecks after the minimal cut set knockouts are performed. These methods are applied to a metabolic network that models 3deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) production in E. coli. Results show that pyruvate accumulation due to glucose uptake and erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P) shortages resulting from the slow reaction rate of transketolase (Tkt) limit
Artistic Lives: A Study of Creativity in Two European Cities

Artistic Lives challenges recent policy discourses that celebrate the ability of cultural producers to create something from nothing, and, more generally, the myth of creativity as an individual phenomenon, divorced from social context. Presenting rich interview material with artists and arts professionals in London and Berlin, together with ethnographic descriptions, Artistic Lives engages with debates surrounding Post-Fordism, gentrification and the nature of authorship, to raise challenging questions about the function of culture and the role of artists within contemporary capitalism. © Kirsten Forkert 2013.

Movement and silence

This volume collects important recent articles by Richard Kayne, one of the top formal linguists in the world. Although the articles range widely in topic and theme, they hang together in that they illustrate the power of the comparative approach, and that they reinforce Kayne's view that syntax is generally more complex than it first appears. As with other volumes in this series, the audience for the volume will be formal linguists and syntacticians around the world.
Guidelines for air sampling and analytical method development and evaluation (May 1995). Technical report

Guidelines were presented for the development and evaluation of sampling and analytical methods for airborne contaminants. Steps included selection of compounds for method development and evaluation, development of the sampling and analytical method, evaluation of the method, preparation of a written version of the method, and preparation of a technical report on the development and evaluation. During method development the analyte was identified, a literature search was performed to determine measurement and evaluation concentration ranges, physical and chemical properties, information about the use of the analyte and method availability. During method evaluation, several steps were performed including the recovery of the analyte from the medium, stability of analyte on the sampling medium, stability of the sampling medium itself, sample generation, capacity of the sampler, sampling and analysis evaluation, pressure drop across the sampler, sample stability, precision, bias, and accuracy. In the documentation stage the final report was developed and the format for presenting the analytical method defined.
Lost in the city: Yes's ‘Heart of the Sunrise’ and the expansion of musical expression in rock

Abstract Yes's ‘Heart of the Sunrise’ addresses one of the primary concerns of the counterculture: the alienation of the individual from humanity by the dominant consumerist, ‘plastic’ culture, represented by the city. In their expression of the effects of alienation, Yes expanded the musical vocabulary of rock, for while the allusive imagery of the song's text relates the locus of the protagonist and his being ‘lost’ amid the population of the city, the arrangement of the song and the purely instrumental passages lay bare the frustration of an individual unable to establish intimate, human relationships. Contemporary commentary on hippie perceptions of, and reactions to, mainstream culture provides a background to an analysis that demonstrates the descriptive power of the instrumental passages in this 1971 work.

A Theoretical Investigation into the Potential Applications of Olfactory Cues to the Marketing of New Products

Olfactory cues are proposed as an economical means of increasing new product success rates. An investigation was conducted into the capability of ambient olfactory cues to improve new product adoption where scent was not a primary driver of purchase. The methodology consisted of secon-dary research analysis of relevant scent literature. Studies of innovation and new product marketing were also included in the analysis. It was found that it is theoretically possible to increase new product adoption through the use of olfactory cues. Consequently, four potential applications were proposed, suggesting ways in which this might be achieved. These applications are intended to provoke interest and further research into this new paradigm.
