description: In order to establish "historical" benchmark values, length-based methods were used to analyze size structure, growth and mortality of the spottail mantis shrimp, Squilla mantis (L., 1758), off the southern coasts of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea). Data were gathered with bottom trawl surveys carried out during autumn in the period 1994-2008. The species occurred almost exclusively in the shelf (10-200 m), showing irregular abundances (20-885 ind.km-2 and 0.7-16.6 kg.km-2) and a marked preference for the shallower depths (10-50 m). The sex ratio was significantly different from 1.0 [F/M = 1.33], whereas no significant sex-related differences resulted in the total length-body weight relationship (ln Wg = -11.405 + 3 × ln TLmm) or the length frequency distributions (LFD). Three modal groups were identified in both sexes; the von Bertalanffy growth function (vBGF) was estimated, on sex combined, using TL∞ = 190 mm resulting from the Powell-Wetherall method; thus, the other parameters were Kyr = 0.41 year-1 and t0 = -0.52 year. The total annual mortality coefficients was also derived (Zyr = 0.98), indicating a mortality off southern Sicily - during the investigated period - lower than in other Mediterranean stocks of S. mantis.

description: Five species of Pandalidae were collected during sampling operations aboard the R/V "El Puma" in the northern part of the central Gulf of California, Mexico. Plesionika carinirostris Hendrickx, 1989, a rare species known exclusively from the type locality in the Gulf of California and from southern California, was rediscovered and proved to be abundant and distributed in a much wider area than previously thought. In addition, new distributions limits are provided for the four other species: Heterocarpus vicarius Faxon, 1893, Pantomus affinis Chace, 1937, Plesionika trispinus Squire & Barrágan, 1976, and P. sanctaecatalinae Wicksten, 1983. With an estimated biomass of 123 kg.ha-1, this is the largest capture of H. vicarius ever reported for Pacific Mexico. Samples obtained during this cruise also allow for the largest sample of P. carinirositris (total, 158 specimens), and the second largest sample of P. trispinus (total, 67 specimens) ever reported for Pacific Mexico.

description: Until the present study the validity of Eudevenopus capuciatus (Oliveira, 1955) has been considered uncertain, as it has been treated as a possible synonym of E. honduranus Thomas & Barnard, 1983. Taking this into account, material from the type locality, Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, is redescribed and a neotype designated as the types of this species was considered as lost. Eudevenopus capuciatus can be distinguished from other species in the genus by the long dactylus of pereopod 7, which is subequal or longer than propodus, epimera 2-3 produced into a strong posteroventral spine, and uropod 2 inner ramus about 3/4 the length of outer ramus. The cuticular ultrastructures of Eudevenopus capuciatus are investigated by scanning electron photomicrography. A key to world species of Eudevenopus is provided.

description: Farmers may be at increased risk for adverse respiratory outcomes compared with the general population due to their regular exposures to dusts, animals and chemicals. However, early life farm exposures to microbial agents may result in reduced risk. Understanding respiratory disease risk among farmers and identifying differences between farmers and other populations may lead to better understanding of the contribution of environmental exposures to respiratory disease risk in the general population.

description: We report the results of two factorial laboratory experiments on multi-nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus and micronutrients) growth limitation in Ulva rigida from the Sacca di Goro lagoon at the spring biomass peak. Nitrogen and micronutrients (trace metals and vitamins) always stimulated Ulva growth, both alone and in combination. In cultures lacking micronutrients, nitrogen effects were enhanced by the addition of phosphorus, that however had no effect when added alone or in combination with micronutrients. The response of Ulva to the different treatments underscores the importance of considering more than one nutrient when addressing limitation issues and demonstrates that nutrients other than nitrogen and phosphorus can limit macroalgal growth.

description: We study the strongly singular volume integral equation that describes the scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves by a penetrable obstacle. We consider the case of a cylindrical obstacle and fields invariant along the axis of the cylinder, which allows the reduction to two-dimensional problems. With this simplification, we can refine the analysis of the essential spectrum of the volume integral operator started in a previous paper (M. Costabel, E. Darrigrand, H. Sakly: The essential spectrum of the volume integral operator in electromagnetic scattering by a homogeneous body, Comptes Rendus Mathematique, 350 (2012), pp. 193-197) and obtain results for non-smooth domains that were previously available only for smooth domains. It turns out that in the TE case, the magnetic contrast has no influence on the Fredholm properties of the problem. As a byproduct of the choice that exists between a vectorial and a scalar volume integral equation, we discover new results about the symmetry of the spectrum of the double layer boundary integral operator on Lipschitz domains.

description: The genetic structure of three populations of the surf clam Mactra corallina (Mollusca: Bivalvia) from the Tunisian coast was investigated using allozymic and morphological markers. The analysis of five enzyme systems showed that they are controlled by nine loci, eight of which are polymorphic. The average polymorphism of the eight loci of the three populations was (86%). Mean numbers of allele and of heterozygosity ranged from 2.66 to 2.70 and from 0.460 to 0.483 respectively. The mean FST value equals to 0.169 and the genetic distance among populations which ranged from 0.092 to 0.160 were translated at a low level of population differentiation. Indeed, the two populations of Kalaat El Andalous, away by 10 km, were alike in the isometry between the two linear variables: Thickness/Length and Thickness/Height. So, the Gabes population was distinguished from two previous populations by a minorant growth for all linear parameters.

description: Invasive species are able to deeply alter coastal marine ecosystems ranging them among the most influential global changes of the present time. In the context of spatio-temporal variability, temporal trajectories of invasion impacts are very poorly known processes. The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the invasive Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Chlorophyta) on benthic macrophyte assemblages in the north-western Mediterranean Sea (Marseille, France). A comparison was made between two different months (March versus November) and between years (2002/2003 versus 2006/2007). The results showed that there was significant variability between months and years in the biomass of Caulerpa as well as in its impact on macrophyte assemblages. In addition, Caulerpa outcompeted other invasive species, such as Asparagopsis armata and Womersleyella setacea, which showed strongly reduced biomass in invaded compared with non-invaded patches.

description: In order to study the spatial and temporal variation in abundance of the potentially toxic species Ostreopsis siamensis epiphytic on the leaves of Posidonia oceanica, two dates of sampling were conducted in the region of Mahdia (Eastern Tunisia) in July 2008 and January 2009. Two sites within each of four stations were selected at depths of 3, 5, 8 and 12 m, P. oceanica shoots and seawater samples at two different levels of the water column (bottom and surface) were collected. Utermöhl sedimentation method was used to quantify the abundance of O. siamensis epiphyte on the leaves of P. oceanica and living in the water column. Our results showed that the abundance of this epiphytic species is lower than those found in other areas of Tunisia. Covariance analysis (ANCOVA) of abundance of epiphytic O. siamensis on the leaves of P. oceanica between time, station and site nested within station with depth as covariate showed that spatial differences of this abundance depended on the time of sampling and the highest value are recorded in July. Temperature and life cycle of the host plant seemed to be the important factors responsible for this temporal variation. Linear regression showed a significant relationship between the abundance of this species and Leaf Area Index of P. oceanica. We also found positive significant correlations between the abundance of epiphytic O. siamensis and its abundance in the water column (bottom and surface). These results could indicate a transfer of this species from P. oceanica leaves to the water column.

description: The pennatulacean genus Sclerobelemnon has previously been distributed in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean, with only one described species from Western Atlantic Ocean. Specimens from an undescribed shallow-water species attributable to this genus (Family Kophobelemnidae) has been collected from Northern Brazil, representing the first record in the country and the most austral record of the family in the Atlantic Ocean. The new species of Sclerobelemnon is distinguished from other closely related species of this genus mostly by having five to six autozooids longitudinal rows, smooth sclerites with digitiform margins, but not serrated, and sclerites absent in the tentacles.

Cost function and positive mathematical programming
Creators: name: Paris, Quirino
Publisher: name: Bio-based and Applied Economics
Year: 2017

description: A line of research in Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) has pursued the goal of estimating a cost function capable of reproducing the base-year results in a sample of farms. Originally, the PMP approach estimated a “myopic” cost function, that is, a cost relation depending only on the output levels observed during a production cycle. No input price entered this type of cost function. In this paper we define and estimate a proper cost function that calibrates the economic results of a sample of farms. In the process, we demonstrate the existence of a unique solution of the PMP problem when observed output quantities and limiting input prices are taken as calibrating benchmarks. Furthermore, the paper shows how to obtain endogenous output supply elasticities that calibrate with available exogenous information in the form of previously estimated elasticities for an entire region or sector. This framework is applied to a sample of Italian farms that admit no production for some of the crop activities. This PMP model can be used to explore farmers’ response to various policy decisions involving output prices, environmental constraints, limiting input supply, and other government interventions.

description: The implications of the recent classical nonlocal generalization of Einstein's theory of gravitation for gravitational physics in the Solar System are investigated. In this theory, the nonlocal character of gravity appears to simulate dark matter. Nonlocal gravity in the Newtonian regime involves a reciprocal kernel with three spatial parameters, of which two have already been determined from the rotation curves of spiral galaxies and the internal dynamics of clusters of galaxies. However, the short-range parameter a_0 remains to be determined. In this connection, the nonlocal contribution to the perihelion precession of a planetary orbit is estimated and a preliminary lower limit on a_0 is determined.

Vertical distribution of the toxic epibenthic dinoflagellates Ostreopsis cf. ovata, Prorocentrum lima and Coolia monotis in the NW Mediterranean Sea

description: The present work is one of the first studies investigating the vertical distribution of the benthic toxic dinoflagellates Ostreopsis cf. ovata, Prorocentrum lima and Coolia monotis in the NW Mediterranean Sea. Relatively low epiphytic abundances of the three species were detected up to 30 m depth in late August-early September, suggesting that higher abundances may be found earlier in summer. Ostreopsis cf. ovata was more abundant than the two other species at very shallow depths, while P. lima and C. monotis were more present than O. cf. ovata at depths deeper than 3 m. The decrease of O. cf. ovata with depth likely reflected the temperature and light intensity depletion. Determination and understanding of vertical patterns require defining the ecological niche of each species, including their responses to light, temperature and nutrients. Nutritional mode and chemical defense of dinoflagellates may also affect their ecological niches. A better assessment of the vertical distribution of toxic microalgae could be very useful for a suitable management and an effective anticipation of HAB events.

description: The yield of several commodity crops is provided in large part by genetically modified crops in North and South America. However, reservations exist in Europe due to possible negative effects on human health or environment. This paper aims to analyse the current research priorities identified in EU countries and to engage European stakeholders into the formulation of future common research needs regarding the effects of the possible adoption of commercially available and forthcoming genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the areas of socio-economics, human and animal health, and environment. Additionally, it aims to identify the requirements for sharing available research capacities and existing infrastructures. First a mapping exercise of existing research activities in Europe was performed. A questionnaire was developed on a web-based platform and submitted to national focal points to collect information from EU Member States. Information was collected from 320 research projects conducted in the last 10 years in Europe. To refine results of the surveys, twenty invited experts and stakeholders from the public funding agencies of different EU Member States participated in an international workshop. This paper reports the main findings of these activities.

description: We examine the effect of typhoons, as potential drivers of nutrient pulse events, on gelatinous carnivore zooplankton. The period investigated spanned from 2007 to 2010, where seasonal abundance and taxonomic composition of the gelatinous zooplankton community was recorded off North Taiwan. Typhoon effects were assessed in the abundance, diversity and species richness of the gelatinous carnivore populations. Significant associations between typhoons and gelatinous carnivores were found in time delays varying from 3 to 25 days, but no association was identified for longer time intervals. Generally, a decrease in species richness occurred during the summer season, and this was accentuated in 2008, shortly after typhoons events. We hypothesize that typhoons might act as resource pulse triggers probably enhancing open niches for opportunistic carnivore zooplankton groups.

description: In an effort to better understand the details of the stellar structure and evolution of metal poor stars, the Gemini North telescope was used on two occasions to take speckle imaging data of a sample of known spectroscopic binary stars and other nearby stars in order to search for and resolve close companions. The observations were obtained using the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument, which takes data in two filters simultaneously. The results presented here are of 90 observations of 23 systems in which one or more companions was detected, and 6 stars where no companion was detected to the limit of the camera capabilities at Gemini. In the case of the binary and multiple stars, these results are then further analyzed to make first orbit determinations in five cases, and orbit refinements in four other cases. Mass information is derived, and since the systems span a range in metallicity, a study is presented that compares our results with the expected trend in total mass as derived from the most recent Yale isochrones as a function of metal abundance. These data suggest that metal-poor main-sequence stars are less massive at a given color than their solar-metallicity analogues in a manner consistent with that predicted from the theory.

description: Transfer of harmful species is mediated by natural dispersal, ballast water discharges and by bivalve relocation. This results of increasing risk of coastal waters invasion by exotic species. In spite of some confusion in relation to the identification of Alexandrium catenella, this dinoflagellate has been considered as a non-indigenous in Mediterranean. Our work aims to exhaustively characterise a strain of A. catenella (ACT00) isolated from Mediterranean waters using multiple criteria (genetic, morphology, toxin and pigment profiles) since this detailed information is still lacking. Examination of the morphology of the studied strain and of Alexandrium cells sampled during the bloom of May 2000 clearly showed the absence of the ventral pore between the plates 1' and 4' and the ability to form chains of up to eight cells during the exponential growth phase. This corresponds to the description of Alexandrium catenella (Whedon & Kofoid) Balech, 1985. Analysis of the nuclear rRNA fragment, including ITS1, the 5.8S rRNA gene, ITS2, and the D1/D2 28S rRNA genes revealed that the strain belonged to the A. catenella species from the Group IV (Temperate Asian clade). Toxin profile showed a dominance of C-toxins and gonyautoxins whereas saxitoxins and neosaxitoxins were absent. A. catenella is characterized by a pigment profile typical of peridinin containing dinoflagellates. Laboratory measured growth revealed a moderate growth rate of this species. The obtained reference data (morphogenetic, toxinic and pigment profile) on A. catenella from Thau lagoon are necessary in understanding of Alexandrium expansion in the Mediterranean waters and the geographic origin of this species.

description: ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the persistence of nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus and multidrug-resistant S. aureus over 14 days of follow-up among industrial hog operation workers in North Carolina.MethodsWorkers anticipating at least 24 h away from work were enrolled June–August 2012. Participants self-collected a nasal swab and completed a study journal on the evening of day 1, and each morning and evening on days 2–7 and 14 of the study. S. aureus isolated from nasal swabs were assessed for antibiotic susceptibility, spa type and absence of the scn gene. Livestock association was defined by absence of scn.ResultsTwenty-two workers provided 327 samples. S. aureus carriage end points did not change with time away from work (mean 49 h; range >0–96 h). Ten workers were persistent and six were intermittent carriers of livestock-associated S. aureus. Six workers were persistent and three intermittent carriers of livestock-associated multidrug-resistant S. aureus. One worker persistently carried livestock-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Six workers were non-carriers of livestock-associated S. aureus. Eighty-two per cent of livestock-associated S. aureus demonstrated resistance to tetracycline. A majority of livestock-associated S. aureus isolates (n=169) were CC398 (68%) while 31% were CC9. No CC398 and one CC9 isolate was detected among scn-positive isolates.ConclusionsNasal carriage of livestock-associated S. aureus, multidrug-resistant S. aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus can persist among industrial hog operation workers over a 14-day period, which included up to 96 h away from work.
Introduction of Indo-Pacific and Eritrean species into Lebanese seawaters (Levantine Basin, East Mediterranean)

description: Hundreds of Indo-Pacific marine species either from benthic or pelagic environments were introduced from the Red Sea into the East Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal pathway, since its opening to navigation in 1869. Most of those have succeeded to establish stable populations along the Levantine Basin coast. During the last 50 years and after the functioning of Aswan High Dam in 1965 and the deepening of the Suez Canal, the invasion process increased and introduced species of Eritrean and Indo-Pacific origin were mostly doubled. This is due not only to human activities, but also to the climate change inducing global warming and thus hydrological changes which occurred in the entire Levantine Basin and traduced by increment of seawater temperature and salinity (∆T ~ 0.40 ºC, ∆S ~ 0.35). Out of 350 fish species so far recorded in the Lebanese coast, 60 are introduced in the area where they established populations. From 240 macrophytes species present along the Lebanese coast, 20 tropical species have invaded the Levantine coast where they established populations along the Lebanese coast. About 15% from 400 phytoplankton species and 20% from approximate- ly 1000 zooplankton species are introduced into the Mediterranean. This process of invasion is still continuing, so we notice more tropical newcomers in the Levantine Basin. The impact of invasion on local biodiversity is questionable. There may be a negative effect with regard to the competition between introduced and native species. Inversely positive effect could be the consequence of invasion with regard to the macro-ecology and biogeography. However, none of the studies so far conducted in this respect has identified any extinction of a native species due to the influence of any invader. This phenomenon reflects certain "Tropicalization" of the East Mediterranean Basin, enhancing the invasion of exotic species into the new marine environment. This is due probably, not only to the man-made activities, but also to the climate change inducing global warming no

description: The biomechanical properties of the vitreous humor and replication of these properties to develop substitutes for the vitreous humor have rapidly become topics of interest over the last two decades. In particular, the behavior of the vitreous humor as a viscoelastic tissue has been investigated to identify its role in a variety of processes related to biotransport, aging, and age-related pathologies of the vitreoretinal interface. A thorough search and review of peer-reviewed publications discussing the biomechanical properties of the vitreous humor in both human and animal specimens was conducted. Findings on the effects of biomechanics on vitreoretinal pathologies and vitreous biotransport were analyzed and discussed. The pig and rabbit vitreous have been found to be most mechanically similar to the human vitreous. Age-related liquefaction of the vitreous creates two mechanically unique phases, with an overall effect of softening the vitreous. However, the techniques used to acquire this mechanical data are limited by the in vitro testing methods used, and the vitreous humor has been hypothesized to behave differently in vivo due in part to its swelling properties. The impact of liquefaction and subsequent detachment of the vitreous humor from the posterior retinal surface is implicated in a variety of tractional pathologies of the retina and macula. Liquefaction also causes significant changes in the biotransport properties of the eye, allowing for significantly faster movement of molecules compared to the healthy vitreous. Recent developments in computational and ex vivo models of the vitreous humor have helped with understanding its behavior and developing materials capable of replacing it. A better understanding of the biomechanical properties of the vitreous humor and how these relate to its structure will potentially aid in improving clinical metrics for vitreous liquefaction, design of biomimetic vitreous substitutes, and predicting pharmacokinetics for intravitreal drug delivery.

Quality, market mechanisms and regulation in the food chain

description: This paper focuses on questions related to the regulation of quality in the food chain. The paper first recalls the new challenges related to quality in the food chain, with an emphasis on the issue of sustainability. This first part underlines that the numerous dimensions related to sustainability make the regulation necessary but difficult. Then the paper introduces a partial equilibrium model calibrated with empirical data, for helping evaluate which regulatory instrument should be socially preferred ex ante on a case-by-case basis. An application to the milk market focuses on linseed for feeding dairy cows, which reduces methane emissions and increases the omega-3 content of milk. Simulations compare the impact of the exclusive use of one label signaling omega-3, versus the impact of a minimum-quality standard imposing linseed in the diet of all dairy cows. Both instruments would have a positive impact on consumers’ surpluses and some producers’ profits. This application shows that details about the influence of regulatory tools on surpluses may be given on a case-by-case basis.

description: Alternative splicing enables a single pre-messenger RNA transcript to yield multiple protein isoforms, making it a major contributor to the diversity of the proteome. While this process is essential for normal development, aberrations in alternative splicing are the cause of a multitude of human diseases. Methods for manipulating alternative splicing would thus be of therapeutic value. Chemically modified antisense oligonucleotides that alter alternative splicing by directing splice site selection have been developed to achieve this end. These splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) have been applied to correct aberrant splicing, induce expression of a therapeutic splice variant, or induce expression of a novel therapeutic splice variant in a number of disease-relevant genes. Recently, in vivo efficacy of SSOs has been reported using animal disease models, as well as in results from the first clinical trial.

description: Estuaries, bays and other sheltered coastal areas are frequent environments of marine invasions. These invasive species can have great impacts mainly when they reach high density or if they have new functional attributes. Invasive bivalves are considered ecosystem engineers with this capacity. The invasive mussel Xenostrobus securis, a small brown mussel native to the brackish waters of New Zealand and Australia, has been recently reported in the Ria de Vigo (Galicia, NW Spain). Its distribution overlaps that of the commercial blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis along intertidal shores in estuarine areas, i.e. inner part of rias. Here, we carried out a study to assess the patterns of distribution of the two mussel species. In addition, we analysed biotic and abiotic factors that could modulate such patterns. Results showed a gradient of decreasing abundance of X. securis from areas close to the mouth of rivers to the middle part of rias. In contrast, abundances of M. galloprovincialis showed an opposite trend. Salinity was the factor that explained most of variation in abundances, especially in X. securis, although some biotic interactions and factors, such as diversity of the resident community, might be also relevant.
