The generally weak influence of density-dependent regulation on natural animal populations.
Creators: name: Clarke, Paul D.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Biology, Ecology.

description: Animal population densities are thought to be "regulated" by density-dependent processes (Haldane, 1953; Royama, 1977: Berryman, 1991). The perceived importance of these processes to biologists is evident from the vast amount of research dedicated to this idea (Inchausti, 1994). Most of this research addresses the problem(s) of detecting the effect of density-dependent regulatory processes using time series data. However, the question of the relative importance of density-dependent factors upon rates of change of population abundances is rarely addressed. In this thesis, I quantify the importance of density-dependent factors in 303 natural animal populations. I found that, on average, only $\approx$19% of the temporal variability in per capita growth rate could be statistically related to population density. Yet research effort concentrates overwhelmingly on density-dependent processes. I conclude that the effects of density-dependent processes within natural animal populations are generally weak and disproportionately studied. Because many, if not all, ecological processes act on some characteristic temporal or spatial scale (O'Neill et al., 1986; Wiens, 1989; Pimm, 1991; Maurer, 1994; Fleishman, 1995) I also address the question of how the characteristic time of density-dependent regulatory processes might affect the estimates of the influence of regulatory processes on a population's per capita growth rate. I hypothesized that if density-dependent regulatory processes operate on a characteristic temporal scale that sampling with a sampling period commensurate with the characteristic time of these processes would yield the maximal amounts of variability in the per capita growth rate statistically related to the variability in N. Simulated population time series were generated using a logistic growth model with a stochastic term added. Based on the analysis of the simulated time series, the characteristic time of density-dependent regulatory processes is predicted to be independent of life-history traits correlated with body size. The characteristic times are predicted to be integral multiples of 1 year (1, 2, 3 and 4 years) for all modelled body sizes. These predictions, regarding characteristic times, were found to be suspect after further testing supported the contention that these results may be methodological artifacts. I suggest that these results are due to the pragmatic criteria imposed to constrain the number of possible subsamples to be analyzed. I further suggest that to better address the characteristic time hypothesis, time-slices with different time periods between successive population densities are required.

description: In the Romanesque basilica S. Michele in Pavia there is a silver foil Crucifix that dates back to the XII century. During a precise restoration work carried out in 2003 the material was analyzed in order to obtain more precise information. In particular the analysis focused on the filling materials under the silver foil and on the characterization of their resins, which, according to the results, are colophony and beeswax. The filling material for the head is very probably the original one and its binder is wax, the filler of the body is different and very probably it was reintroduced during one of the previous restoration works on the crucifix, of which unfortunately we know nothing.

description: Background: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful tool for studying complex biological systems, such as tumor heterogeneity and tissue microenvironments. However, the sources of technical and biological variation in primary solid tumor tissues and patient-derived mouse xenografts for scRNA-seq are not well understood. Results: We use low temperature (6 °C) protease and collagenase (37 °C) to identify the transcriptional signatures associated with tissue dissociation across a diverse scRNA-seq dataset comprising 155,165 cells from patient cancer tissues, patient-derived breast cancer xenografts, and cancer cell lines. We observe substantial variation in standard quality control metrics of cell viability across conditions and tissues. From the contrast between tissue protease dissociation at 37 °C or 6 °C, we observe that collagenase digestion results in a stress response. We derive a core gene set of 512 heat shock and stress response genes, including FOS and JUN, induced by collagenase (37 °C), which are minimized by dissociation with a cold active protease (6 °C). While induction of these genes was highly conserved across all cell types, cell type-specific responses to collagenase digestion were observed in patient tissues. Conclusions: The method and conditions of tumor dissociation influence cell yield and transcriptome state and are both tissue- and cell-type dependent. Interpretation of stress pathway expression differences in cancer single-cell studies, including components of surface immune recognition such as MHC class I, may be especially confounded. We define a core set of 512 genes that can assist with the identification of such effects in dissociated scRNA-seq experiments.

description: Single-photon laser-enabled Auger decay (spLEAD) is predicted theoretically [B. Cooper and V. Averbukh, Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 083004 (2013)] and here we report its first experimental observation in neon. Using coherent, bichromatic free-electron laser pulses, we detect the process and coherently control the angular distribution of the emitted electrons by varying the phase difference between the two laser fields. Since spLEAD is highly sensitive to electron correlation, this is a promising method for probing both correlation and ultrafast hole migration in more complex systems.

description: Underwater archaeology in the Mediterranean should be based on a comprehensive, deep knowledge
of a wide context of cultural environment. It is impossible to carry out an in-depth study of a
specific wreck or site without having an overall cultural as well as historical perspective. It is, in fact,
quite clear to everybody that even the most faraway shores of the Mediterranean were connected
by means of a dense network of sea routes based on a rich trade throughout the centuries.
But underwater archaeology also means the chance to understand the past environment due to the
possibility of detecting ancient sea shores which nowadays are found below sea level.
Today underwater archaeology also means deep sea research in extraterritorial waters. This aspect
of underwater archaeological research is deeply connected with legal aspects that, in the framework
of the recently approved UNESCO draft regarding the protection of underwater cultural heritage,
should be planned according to international cooperation.

description: The individuation of the cultural heritage is the first step to be carried out before subjecting the cultural heritage to the legal preservation regime. The Author adopted the systems for the individuation of the cultural heritage owned by the State or by non profit private legal persons as provided for by the law in force, at the same time he indicated the problems that were arising, describing the new system indicated by art.12 of the new Code for the Cultural Heritage and Landscapes. That new system is based on a relative legal presumption according to which the whole property belonging to non profit public or private subjects can be considered as cultural heritage. However it is possible to prove that this is not true by means of a special procedure, the so-called “test of the cultural interest” that can be carried out by the Ministry for cultural heritage and activities both officially and at the request of the subjects who own the cultural heritage. After that the conditions and practical aims of the test are analyzed, making a distinction between the official test and the test at request of the other party, evaluating the testing procedure (in terms of competence, guarantees of participation, length and the discussed application of the so-called principle of implied assent), and the effects of the test, making a distinction between negative and positive test.

Firm Size and Technology Commercialization in Canada's Biotechnology and Manufacturing Sectors with a Focus on Medium-sized Firms

description: Innovation and commercialization are crucial for the competitiveness and economic well-being of countries. Despite the importance of innovation, recent studies have showed that Canada is lagging behind other countries in terms of its innovation and commercialization performance. The claim is often made that Canada performs well in generating the knowledge needed for innovation; however, the problem lies in transforming this knowledge into commercial success. Thus, a major preoccupation is how to turnaround this weak commercialization performance. Despite the wide range of programs, policies and regulations implemented by the Canadian Government along with its provincial counterparts to engender a turnaround, little has changed in Canada’s commercialization performance. Therefore, the search for solutions continues. Given that commercialization takes place at the firm-level, this study will explore the relationship between firm-size and commercialization. Several existing studies have examined the link between innovation and firm size, but few have examined the link between commercialization and firm size. Despite the arguments supporting medium-sized firms’ ability to commercialize innovations, there is a weak empirical base that explores the position of Canadian medium-sized firms and their innovation and commercialization capabilities. This study will contribute to the existing knowledge by covering the gap in the literature concerning the role of medium-sized firms in commercialization, compared to small and large firms. This study provides evidence suggesting that small and medium-sized firms should be considered differently.

description: The study of a cognitive and experimental nature regards the sector of ethnic artifacts, especially interesting from a socio-historical point of view as well as a technical-conservative one, but at the same time the object of limited research. In the present paper the specific area of knowledge of the art market is present, in relation to the various economic-financial and diagnostic-analytical-material aspects. The consequent result, that derives from the meeting point of the different scientific competences and experiences can supply an initial and nonetheless significant contribution for a complete and correct evaluation in the sector of ethnic products.

description: During the archaeological research activities carried out in the past three years near Alcamo Matina (TP) an officinal area of the Roman period was brought to light. The find was accidental and consisted of a series of kilns used for the cooking of ceramic material which dates back to the centuries I-V A.D. The architectonic and structural solutions adopted for the realization of the ceramic complex are very interesting, a series of kilns on various levels with a system of terracing of the ground, orientation of the axis and of the opening of the praefurnium towards the non dominant winds, alternation of containment and strengthening wall structures and structural fillings made of clay. Some studies under way help better understand the officinal complex, they focus on the analysis of the ceramic material found there and on the reconstruction of the territory on the basis of methods of satellite bearing (GPS) and on the basis of cartographic results of models on the GIS platform.

description: Adopting the perspective of discourse analysis about migration as well as the principles of intercultural communication, in this paper we carry out a lexico- semantic study of the term "immigrants" in the Spanish national press and in the so-called foreign or inmigrant press in Spain. Our aim is to see how these media build alterity by elaborating migrant identities, and investigate whether they strengthen understanding between communities through the elaboration of discursive hybrid identities.

Keywords: media discourse, press, inmigration, intercultural communication, hybridation.

A partir de los postulados del análisis del discurso sobre la inmigración y los planteamientos de la comunicación intercultural, en este artículo llevamos a cabo un análisis léxico-semántico del término “inmigrantes” en la prensa nacional y en la llamada prensa extranjera o inmigrante en España. Nuestro objetivo es analizar cómo estos espacios de mediación construyen la alteridad, elaborando distintas identidades relacionadas con la inmigración, y determinar de qué manera promueven el acercamiento entre comunidades y la elaboración positiva de identidades discursivas híbridas.

Harmonie de l'âme et de la Cité dans la République de Platon: La lecture de Plutarque dans les Vies de Lycurgue et Numa

Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: Cette recherche questionne le platonisme de Plutarque pour dégager sa philosophie politique en examinant dans quelle mesure le parallèle Lycurgue/Numa s'accorde avec la République sur la nature de la relation âme/Cité. Nous dégageons d'abord une philosophie politique qui se veut une critique de la République dans les deux Vies: le bonheur de la Cité (Sparte) et le bonheur de l'homme (Numa) s'excluent mutuellement, d'ou l'impossibilité de la Cité idéale et du philosophe-roi. Notre lecture de la République nuance ensuite cette critique en montrant que l'âme et la Cité dépendent aussi l'une de l'autre puisque les facettes de l'âme, eros et thumos, sont en tension. L'accord de Plutarque et Platon sur cette psychologie permet finalement une nouvelle comparaison des deux Vies avec la République établissant la philosophie politique platonicienne de Plutarque---l'éducation pour l'âme et la Cité---et sa critique---les bioi en parallèle réussissent mieux cette éducation que le dialogue dramatique platonicien.

Year: 2009

description: From the Sixties until today, the presence of Greek Mythology in so-called “popular music” appears to be far more frequent and significant than one could imagine. Nevertheless, at the beginning such references are rather generic, loose and even ironical; on the other side, in the Eighties and afterwards, particularly in the framework of certain music genres, entire concept albums are inspired to the deeds of Achilles and Odysseus, or by the tragic vicissitudes of the house of Atreus. Special attention is dedicated to the character of Achilles, who, as a prototype of the modern “super hero”, is somehow close to the sensibility and the expectations of contemporary youth cultures and their associated media.

description: BACKGROUND: Overweight and obesity lead to higher probability of individuals accessing primary care but adiposity estimates are rarely available at regional levels to inform health service planning. This paper analyses a large, community-derived clinical database of objectively measured body mass index (BMI) to explore relationships with area-level socioeconomic disadvantage for informing regional level planning activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 91776 adults who had BMI objectively measured between 1 July 2009 and 30 June 2011 by a single pathology provider. Demographic data and BMI were extracted and matched to 2006 national census socioeconomic data using geocoding. Adjusted odds-ratios for overweight and obesity were calculated using sex-stratified logistic regression models with socioeconomic disadvantage of census collection district of residence as the independent variable. RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight or obesity was 79.2% (males) and 65.8% (females); increased with age to 74 years; and was higher in rural (74%) versus urban areas (71.4%) (p<0.001). Increasing socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with increasing prevalence of overweight (p<0.0001), obesity (p<0.0001) and overweight or obesity (p<0.0001) in women and obesity (p<0.0001) in men. Socioeconomic disadvantage was unrelated to overweight (p = 0.2024) and overweight or obesity (p = 0.4896) in males. CONCLUSION: It is feasible to link routinely-collected clinical data, representative of a discrete population, with geographic distribution of disadvantage, and to obtain meaningful area-level information useful for targeting interventions to improve population health. Our results demonstrate novel area-level socioeconomic gradients in overweight and obesity relevant to regional health service planning.

El trastorno depresivo recurrente resistente a psicofármacos presenta un reto en la práctica clínica diaria, haciendo necesario el desarrollo de distintas estrategias, como la TEC o el uso de Esketamina. A continuación, se presenta el caso de una paciente que ha seguido diferentes líneas de tratamiento con el objetivo de exponer los distintos abordajes disponibles para este tipo de patología.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO:

Mujer de 67 años, con antecedentes psiquiátricos filiados hace más de 35 años, diagnosticada de trastorno depresivo recurrente.  A lo largo de su evolución clínica ha precisado varios ingresos hospitalarios, diversas líneas de tratamiento psicofarmacológico y TEC, consiguiéndose cierta estabilidad clínica hasta el 2022. En ese momento precisó nuevamente ingreso, aplicándose TEC durante el mismo sin respuesta apreciable, por lo que se decide iniciar tratamiento con Esketamina.

EXPLORACIÓN Y PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS

Exploración psicopatológica: Consciente, abordable, actitud tensa, facies hipomímica, discurso parco y con latencia de respuestas. Ansiedad psíquica en forma de rumiación de preocupaciones y anticipación de situaciones negativas. Hipotimia con sentimientos de incapacidad, apatía, abulia y tendencia a clinofilia. Ideas de muerte poco estructuradas. Ideas sobrevaloradas de perjuicio. Insomnio de conciliación. Hiporexia.

 

Exploración física, analítica, sistemático de orina y ECG: dentro de la normalidad

DIAGNÓSTICO DIFERENCIAL Y TRATAMIENTO

Diagnóstico: Trastorno depresivo recurrente

Se inició tratamiento con Esketamina según pauta recomendada, manteniendo Venlafaxina, Clonazepam y Olanzapina, observándose buena respuesta desde las primeras dosis, completándose el proceso de inducción y continuación durante 7 meses. Posteriormente se ha mantenido en una remisión parcial, sin síntomas subjetivos relevantes y con una funcionalidad que, aunque precaria, le permite realizar su vida diaria.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES

Este caso respalda el uso de la Esketamina como una buena alternativa en pacientes con un trastorno depresivo de larga evolución y resistente a múltiples tratamientos farmacológicos y TEC, consiguiéndose una mejoría clínica importante comparada con su estado previo y que permite a estos pacientes mantener un estilo de vida independiente.

description: Background: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a heterogeneous disease, and gene expression profiling has identified several molecular subtypes with distinct biological and clinicopathological characteristics. While MIBC subtyping has primarily been based on messenger RNA (mRNA), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may provide additional resolution. Methods: LncRNA expression was quantified from microarray data of a MIBC cohort treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and radical cystectomy (RC) (n = 223). Unsupervised consensus clustering of highly variant lncRNAs identified a four-cluster solution, which was characterized using a panel of MIBC biomarkers, regulon activity profiles, gene signatures, and survival analysis. The four-cluster solution was confirmed in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort (n = 405). A single-sample genomic classifier (GC) was trained using ridge-penalized logistic regression and validated in two independent cohorts (n = 255 and n = 94). Results: NAC and TCGA cohorts both contained an lncRNA cluster (LC3) with favorable prognosis that was enriched with tumors of the luminal-papillary (LP) subtype. In both cohorts, patients with LP tumors in LC3 (LPL-C3) were younger and had organ-confined, node-negative disease. The LPL-C3 tumors had enhanced FGFR3, SHH, and wild-type p53 pathway activity. In the TCGA cohort, LPL-C3 tumors were enriched for FGFR3 mutations and depleted for TP53 and RB1 mutations. A GC trained to identify these LPL-C3 patients showed robust performance in two validation cohorts. Conclusions: Using lncRNA expression profiles, we identified a biologically distinct subgroup of luminal-papillary MIBC with a favorable prognosis. These data suggest that lncRNAs provide additional information for higher-resolution subtyping, potentially improving precision patient management.

description: Im Zuge des Forschungsprojektes FLUSSHYGIENE wurden Bewirtschaftungsinstrumente entwickelt, die aus hygienischer Sicht ein sicheres Baden in Flüssen ermöglichen. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt die Rahmenbedingungen und den Aufbau eines Frühwarnsystems an der Berliner Unterhavel vor. Das System besteht aus einem numerischen Modell zur Vorhersage der Wasserqualität sowie der Definition von Entscheidungskriterien, ab denen vor Gewässerverunreinigungen gewarnt wird. In Berlin konnten funktionierende Modelle mit Hilfe frei verfügbarer Daten aufgebaut und über drei Jahre validiert werden. Im Jahr 2018 wurde die aufgebaute Webseite von rund 50 000 Nutzern besucht. Im Rahmen der verlängerten Projektlaufzeit wird der für Berlin aufgebaute Prototyp durch eine verbesserte Visualisierung und eine robustere Ausgestaltung der Datenübertragung weiterentwickelt. Ergebnisse sind für Ende Oktober 2019 zu erwarten. In: Korrespondenz Wasserwirtschaft : KW ; Organ der DWA ; Wasser, Boden, Natur - 12 (2019), Heft 9, Seite 518
description: The FLUSSHYGIENE research project developed irrigation instruments that allow for safe bathing in rivers from a hygiene perspective. This article presents the framework conditions and the creation of an early-warning system for the Lower Havel River in Berlin. The system consists of a numerical model to predict water quality and the definition of decision-making criteria that lead to warnings being issued about water pollution. In Berlin, functioning models were developed with the help of freely available data and validated over a three-year period. In 2018, some 50,000 users visited the project's website. The prototype developed for Berlin was refined by improving visualisation and designing data transfer to be more roust during the extended project term. The results are expected to be available at the end of October 2019. In: Korrespondenz Wasserwirtschaft : KW ; Organ der DWA ; Wasser, Boden, Natur - 12 (2019), Heft 9, Seite 518

description: Optical and SEM-EDS microscopy, FT-IR and mFT-IR spectroscopy investigations have been applied to the study of alteration and degradation products of a Roman sarcophagus located in the medieval cloister of St Cosimato’s Convent, now the new “Regina Margherita Hospital” (Rome) before restoration work.
This scientific analysis was performed in order to compare it with a diagnosis report based on the restorer’s expertise. The sarcophagus is small and consists of a single block of fine-grained marble covered by a thick pink patina. The results obtained from this diagnostic investigation, allow us to draw important conclusions about the state of conservation of this archaeological artefact. The main components found in the samples analyzed are: black crust, calcium oxalate, organic matter due to recent conservation treatment, calcite, iron-oxides and coloured earths. In particular, the combined
used of petrographical and mFT-IR analysis provided useful insights into the polishing and consolidation processes of archaeological artefacts.

description: Background: In September 2005, scientific journals began requiring trial protocol registration to increase transparency and accountability. Objective: My primary objectives were: develop a database of linked protocols and publications for surgical randomized control trials (RCTs); estimate the proportion published; and determine the proportion exhibiting selective outcome reporting. Methods: A systematic search of the clinicaltrials.gov database was conducted identifying surgical RCTs, completed between 2006 and 2012. Protocols were linked with publications. Primary outcomes were compared. Results: We identified a cohort of 743 surgical RCT protocols. The proportion of registered trials which published their primary results was 0.49 (n=364). The proportion of selective outcome reporting was estimated to be 0.244, significantly lower than the previous estimate (p<0.001). Conclusion: More than half of the completed surgical RCTs were unpublished, and one quarter of those published selectively reported their primary outcome. This supports the notion that significant bias is present in the surgical literature.

description: À la frontière des villes de Gatineau et d’Ottawa, le site des chutes des Chaudières est situé à proximité du Parlement canadien et est lié à la naissance de la capitale du pays. Par l’entremise d’une sélection d'œuvres paysagères qui représentent ce site patrimonial, cette thèse s’intéresse aux croisements qui s’opèrent entre cultures. D'œuvre en œuvre, les traces interculturelles associées aux différents groupes qui ont fréquenté les Chaudières (Premiers peuples, Voyageurs, forestiers, etc.) sont analysées en fonction de leur contexte historique. Ce faisant, nous cernons comment l’interculturalité rejoint l'esprit du lieu inhérent au contenu de ces œuvres. Au fil de notre corpus d’œuvres paysagères se forge une biographie artialisée du lieu, allant de la préhistoire à la réaffectation future du site en passant par des jalons historiques tels que la traite des fourrures, les politiques unionistes et l’industrialisation. Le site se révèle ainsi être un microcosme d’importants marqueurs de l’histoire du Canada. Maintes communautés culturelles, non seulement ethniques, mais aussi ouvrières et religieuses, ont été, par de constantes interrelations, à la source de ces marqueurs. Ce, à un point tel, que l’esprit du lieu ne peut aller sans la prise en compte de cette interculturalité.
