Colección y caracterización de Chile (Capsicum spp) en Tabasco, México

A morphological characterization in situ of Capsicum spp was made in 13 localities in the state of Tabasco, Mexico, during 2004 and 2005. The objective was to sample and identify different morphotypes of chilli pepper which grow under wild and cultivated conditions. Eleven chilli pepper morphotypes were found. Most of them were wild (Amashito, Corazon de pollo, Muela, Garbanzo, Garbanzo raro and Desconocido) and corresponded to C. annuum. Another morphotype was half wild (Picopaloma) and corresponded to C. frutescens. The remaining morphotypes corresponded to C. annuum and C. chinenese. Data were analyzed with multivariate statistics. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that 88% of total morphological variation was explained with the four principal components. This analysis grouped the wild morphotypes in one group and the commercial morphotypes in another one. Cluster analysis (CA) allowed classification of the morphotypes in contrasting groups; clustering occurred primarily because of the manner in which morphotypes were growing under cultivated or wild conditions. As a result, commercial morphotypes formed a different group than wild morphotypes. In other words, in general, grouping of morphotypes was similar to that when PCA was used. Using either PCA or CA, Color of anthers, Flower position and Fruit width were the variables which most participated in clustering of the morphotypes.
Local Eradication of trout from streams using rotenone: the Australian Experience

Rotenone has been used for sampling stream fish assemblages in Australia for many years but there have been only two instances where it has been used to eradicate trout populations from streams or sections of streams. In 1992, rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was removed from c. 2.4 km of Lees Creek, a small montane stream in the Australian Capital Territory. A barrier at the downstream end of the treated section was augmented to prevent trout reinvasion, and the recolonisation of the native species mountain galaxias Galaxias olidus was monitored. The shortterm effects of the rotenone treatment on the aquatic macroinvertebrate fauna was also investigated. In 1994 and 1995 a total of 20 km of stream length in seven small streams in the Goulburn River catchment in Victoria were treated with rotenone to remove O. mykiss and brown trout Salmo trutta. This catchment contains some of the only remaining populations of the nationally endangered species barred galaxias Galaxias fuscus which was threatened by predation from invading trout. Barriers to prevent trout reinvasion were first constructed, trout were removed by ichthyocide treatment and the downstream recolonisation by G. fuscus of rehabilitated sites was monitored. The methodology and results for the two projects are presented along with lessons learnt and future directions. 1 . I N T R O D U C T I O N Trout form the basis of a highly valued recreational fishery in southeastern Australia. However in some areas, the impact of trout on native fish species is severe and control of trout populations is required. Exotic salmonids have had deleterious effects on small native fish of the family Galaxiidae in Australia and New Zealand (Frankenberg 1966, 1974; McDowall 1968, 1990; Cadwallader 1978, 1996; Fletcher 1979, 1986; Jackson & Williams 1980; Jackson 1981; McIntosh et al. 1992, 1994). Both brown trout Salmo trutta L. and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Richardson) were introduced to Australian waters more than a century ago, before accurate distribution or abundance data had been collected for native fish species. Consequently, much of the evidence of
A study of pattern of admission and outcome in a neonatal intensive care unit at Rural Haryana, India

Background : Neonatal mortality rate contributes significantly tounder five mortality rates. Data obtained from pattern of admission and outcome may uncover various aspects and may contribute andhelp in managing resources, infrastructure, skilled hands for better outcome in future. Method : This was a retrospective study done in NICU at MM Institute of Medical Sciences. and Research, Ambala, India. Data of all admitted neonates were analyzed with regard toageof babies, sex, weight, cause of admissions and their outcome. Results: During study period a total of 175 neonates were analyzed. Male were predominant over female with maleto female ratio 1.21:1. Majority of newborns were to belonged to low birth weight (46.28%) followed bynormal birth weight (30.28%), very low birth weight (18.28%) and ELBW babies. Maximum number of babies were premature (54%) followed by neonatal sepsis (12.57%), meconium aspiration syndrome (9.17%) and birth asphyxia (9.14%). Out of 175 babies 29 (17.14%) were died. Highest mortality were found with prematurity (62%) followed bybirth asphyxia (20.69%) and neonatal sepsis (10.34%). Conclusion : Prematurity, neonatal sepsis, birth asphyxia and meconium aspiration syndrome were the major indications of admissions. Prematurity, birth asphyxia and neonatal sepsis were major causes of mortality in my study. These mortalities can be reduced with improved management of antenatal and perinatal period, early recognition of conditions, timely intervention and early referral to higher centre.
Preliminary results on the in vitro propagation by leaf explants and axillary buds of Iris aphylla L.

In order to develop an in vitro micropropagation protocol of the rare, endangered and ornamental plant Iris aphylla L. , leaf explants and explants of rhizome buds cultivated on normalstrenght Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal media, supplemented with growth regulators. Explant types were disinfected by standard methods. The higher percent of contamination was recorded for the rhizomes explants with axillary buds (86%). The potency of cytokine-like thidiazuron (TDZ) combined with auxin alpha naphtyl acetic acid (NAA) as plant growth regulators in evoking morphogenic responses from leaf explants and explants of rhizome buds in Iris aphilla L. was evaluated. Maximum percentage of callus induction was obtained from the leaf explants of Iris aphylla L. cultured on MS basal medium augmented with 2.0 mg l -1 TDZ and 3.0 mg l -1 NAA.

MOTOR ABILITY PROFILE OF JUNIOR AND SENIOR MALE SOUTH AFRICAN TAEKWONDO ATHLETES

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare motor abilities in young and adult male South African Taekwondo athletes. To date, knowledge of the motor ability demands of this combat sport is in its infancy. Methodology: Participants were profiled as junior (n = 25, 15.5 ± 2.6 years, 163.0 ± 13.4 cm, 53.3 ± 10.7kg) and senior (n = 20, 23.5±2.5 years, 166.8 ± 7.9cm, 68.6±7.9kg) males from a local Taekwondo (WTF) club in South Africa. Flexibility (sit-and reach), abdominal strength and endurance (60-second sit-ups and 2 minutes push ups), explosive leg power (vertical jump), agility (T-test), aerobic power (20 m bleep test) converted to maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) were measured. Data were analysed with t-test for independent samples and Z-score individual radar plot statistics for each athlete. Results: There was no significant difference in agility between juniors (10.9 ±0.4s) and seniors (12.6 ± 1.2s) (p>0.05). The seniors showed significant (p<0.05) higher values in sit ups (53.1 ± 6.1 vs 48.9 ±13.8), push-ups (76.6 ± 17.1 vs 25.6 ±10.6), sit & reach (54.6 ±5.8 vs 40.1± 7.5 repetitions), horizontal jump (2.6 ± 1.1 vs 1.9 ±0.3), and VO2max (52.5 ± 2.8 vs 42.2 ±6.6) than in juniors. More extensive research is required before extending existing knowledge from this study in order to permit specialized conditioning with junior athletes leading to improved motor ability at an early stage of Taekwondo training, resulting into better combat performances. Conclusions: The results showed that the performance of senior male Taekwondo athletes is higher than the juniors’.
GENETIC VARIABILITY AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF MYCOSPHAERELLA PINODES IN WESTERN ALGERIA USING AFLP FINGERPRINTING

The genetic diversity and population structure of Mycosphaerella pinodes (Dydimella pinodes) in Algeria were investigated by AFLP markers. A total of 75 isolates from different collection sites corresponding to four geographic regions were analyzed. Data from AFLP loci were used to estimate gene diversity, genetic distances, and to make indirect measures of gene flow between population groups. Extensive diversity was detected in the M. pinodes population regardless of the population group. The percentage of polymorphic loci varied from 41% in the semi-arid superior region to 50% in the sub-humid region. Nei’s gene diversity across loci was 0.471 and the Shannon’s index across loci was 0.663. A high level of differentiation (Gst = 0.308) and a low gene flow (Nm = 1.118) among population groups were found. Based on the analysis of molecular variance, 58% of the genetic variation of M. pinodes was within populations, 31% of the variation was between geographical regions and 11% among populations within a region. Cluster analyses using individual isolates failed to group them according to population. This is the first report on genetic diversity and population structure of M. pinodes on pea in Algeria.

GENE EFFECTS FOR POD CHARACTERISTICS IN GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA)

A study was conducted during kharif 1995 to estimate the relative importance of additive, dominance and epistatic gene effects in the inheritance of pod characteristics in 4 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) crosses at the University, Anand. Most of the pod and seed characters were governed by additive genetic effects in crosses between spanish bunch and virginia runner('Chico' X 'JSP 23' 'Chico' x 'GG 11'). In spanish bunch and virginia bunch cross ('Chico' X 'TMV 1O') pod length and pod width were governed by additive gene effects while 1O-pod weight, 1OO-kernel weight and shelling out-turn were governed by duplicate type of epistasis. In cross between 2 spanish bunch parents all the other traits barring 1O-pod weight and 100 -kernel weight were governed by additive and x additive type of gene effects. In all the crosses except 'Chico' X 'TMV 10' selection for pod and seed characters can be practiced following pedigree method of breeding
Methods for antimicrobial dilution and disk susceptibility testing of infrequently isolated or fastidious bacteria; approved guideline

If a bacterial pathogen’s susceptibility to antimicrobial agents cannot be predicted based on the identity of the organism alone, in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the isolated organism may be indicated. Susceptibility testing is particularly necessary in those situations in which the etiological agent belongs to a bacterial species for which resistance to commonly used antimicrobial agents has been documented, or could arise. A variety of laboratory techniques can be used to measure the in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial agents. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document M45—Methods for Antimicrobial Dilution and Disk Susceptibility Testing of Infrequently Isolated or Fastidious Bacteria describes the standard microdilution and agar disk diffusion methods. It also includes a series of procedures designed to standardize test performance. The performance, applications, and limitations of the current CLSI-recommended methods are described.

Accelerated development of Maculinea rebeli larvae under artificial conditions (Lycaenidae)

In the years 2000 to 2003, 93 Maculinea alcon ((Denis & Schiffermuller), 1775) larvae from three localities in Hungary and 261 M. rebeli (Hirschke, 1904) larvae from three localities in Hungary and from one locality in Austria were introduced into 103 Myrmica colonies in the laboratory. Seven specimens of M. rebeli pupated after only about a month in artificial Myrmica scabrinodis Nylander, 1846, My. sabuleti Meinert, 1860 and My. salina Ruzsky, 1905 nests. This phenomenon was found in each of the four studied populations. Two pupae successfully eclosed, one 32 and the other 47 days after adoption. The other five pupae died. These results confirm observations that the developmental time of M. rebeli larvae can be plastic. A similarly accelerated development of M. alcon larvae was never observed. The accelerated development of M. rebeli larvae might be attributed to (1) the higher temperatures in the laboratory as compared with natural conditions, and/or to (2) the artificial Myrmica nests which were more exposed to light than under natural conditions, and/or to (3) the balanced artificial diet that the Myrmica colonies received.

Statistical Literacy: Students in Presenting Data

Statistics have become a key component of the mathematics curriculum. At a basic level, by studying statistics, one can inference, read and present data in a more easily understood form known as statistical literacy. Everyone is in one of the roles of being a consumer and as a data producer. The core element of static literacy for consumers is the ability to read and interpret data in tables and graphs published by the national statistical office. The core element for producers is the ability to create clear, understandable tables, graphs and reports. The purpose of this research is to describe the student profile in presenting the data. Therefore, this study is a descriptive explorative qualitative. The subject comes from grade XII students MIA 9 SMA Negeri 3 Sidoarjo. Data were collected through a combination of interview methods with written task analysis. The result of the research shows that the subjects had the ability to describe data in the form of tables or diagrams in accordance with the desired information, including building an alternative view for a set of data, that is in the form of line diagrams, histograms, and pie diagrams, as well as frequency distribution table that referred to the purpose of data communication, regardless of the characteristics of a data. by paying attention to the characteristics of the data.

Abstract : Anopheles (Cellia) dirus, a new species of the leucosphyrus group, and a probable major vector of malaria in Thailand, is described and illustrated in the adult, pupal and larval stages. Comparisons are made between this species and An. (Cel.) balabaoensis Baisas, the name, which until now, has been commonly applied to dirus.
Impact des mutations OPG chez Erwinia chrysanthemi : recherche de suppresseurs et analyse protéomique des mutants

Erwinia chrysanthemi est une enterobacterie phytopathogene pectinolytique faisant partie de la subdivision γ des proteobacteries. Elle infecte un large spectre de plantes hotes engendrant la pourriture molle. L'apparition de cette pourriture molle depend de la synthese et de la secretion d'une batterie d'exoenzymes (cellulases, proteases et pectate-Iyases) capable de degrader les composants de la paroi des cellules vegetales. Neamnoins, l'expression de nombreux autres genes est necessaire a la virulence de cette bacterie. En effet, les mutants deficients en glucanes periplasmiques osmoregules (OPG) d'E. Chrysanthemi sont totalement non virulents. Les OPG sont constitues de 5 a 12 residus de glucose lies en β,1-2, branches en β,1-6 et sont d'autant plus abondants que l'osmolarite du milieu est faible. Ces mutants presentent un phenotype pleiotrope: ils sont hypersensibles aux sels biliaires, la synthese d'exopolysaccharides est augmentee, la synthese et la secretion d"exo-enzymes ainsl que la motilite sont reduites. Un phenotype similaire, mais attenue, est observe chez les mutants du systeme ToI. Les OPG comme les proteines ToI apparaissent necessaires au maintien de l'integrite de l'enveloppe. Des mutations suppressives restaurant la motilite des mutants opg ont ete isolees. Elles retablissent l'essentiel du phenotype sauvage (virulence sur tubercules de pommes de terre, secretion des exo-enzymes, resistance aux sels biliaires, colonies redevenues non muqueuses et motilite, a l'exception de la virulence sur feuille d'endive). Une des mutations identifiees rcsC2 supprime egalement les phenotypes des mutants toI.
Applying emotion-focused therapy to work with the “anorexic voice” within anorexia nervosa: A brief intervention.

Existent treatments for anorexia nervosa (AN) have produced dissatisfactory outcomes. Research suggests that many people with AN experience an internal ‘voice’ which is related to eating disorder symptoms and relapse. This study was designed to consider the feasibility and acceptability of a new emotion-focused treatment of AN, which is designed to work directly with the anorexic voice (AV) (‘EFT-AV’). Six adult clients diagnosed with AN who were experiencing an AV and awaiting psychological treatment were recruited from an adult outpatient service. Informed by EFT and previous AV research, the intervention involved six weekly individual sessions which focused on transforming AV experiences and promoting self-compassion. Participants completed standardised measures of eating disorder symptoms, relating to the AV, illness beliefs, motivation to change, and hope of recovery. Participants were also interviewed at the conclusion of the intervention to ascertain their views of on its acceptability. Findings suggested good recruitment, retention, and treatment adherence which supported the feasibility of the EFT-AV intervention. Thematic analysis of participant interviews indicated the intervention was acceptable and tolerable. Future directions for the treatment of AN, including the potential value of EFT-AV as an adjunct to existing therapies, are discussed.

The Taxonomic Consideration of Leaf Epidermal Microsturcture in Glechoma L. (Nepetinae, Lamiaceae)

A comparative micromorphological study was examined on the leaves of the genus Glechoma and related genera (Nepetinae, Lamiaceae) by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to evaluate their significance in the taxonomy. The leaves of taxa Marmoritis, Nepeta sect. Glechomanthe, G. hederacea var. longituba (Korea) are revealed amphistomatic type, while the remnants of taxa had hypostomatic type. The size range of the guard cells is 12.50-28.75 × 9.17-21.25 μm: the smallest one was found in M. pharicus (12.50-15.83 × 9.17-11.25 μm), while the largest one was measured to G. hederacea var. longituba (Korea: 28.75-28.88 × 21.25-21.38 μm). The stomatal type of genera Agastache, Dracocephalum was mostly diacytic, however for the rest rarely together with anisocytic and anomocytic, except G. hederaca var. longituba (Korea), Meehania urticifolia by having combined with diacytic and anomocytic. The shapes of epidermal cells are differ from in abaxial and adaxial side, and dived with two types (e.g., platelet, stripe pattern). Five types (three glandular, two non-glandular hairs) of trichomes are distributed in leaves. Among trichomes, long and stalk capitates glandular trichome, subsessile glands are different from studied taxa so that leaf micromorphological characters are significance features in the taxonomy.
