Las construcciones arrecifales más ampliamente representadas se originaron a fines del Devónico Inferior (Emsiense Superior) y durante el Devónico Medio (Givetiense), coincidiendo con el depósito de las formaciones carbonatadas Moniello-Santa Lucía y Candás-Portilla, respectivamente. Episodios arrecifales de menor importancia se produjeron, además, en niveles estratigráficos más bajos (Grupo Rañeces-La Vid, Emsiense Superior) y más altos (Formación Piñeres-Nocedo, Frasniense). Las bioconstrucciones más frecuentes corresponden a biostromos, aunque existe también un desarrollo de biohermos. En líneas generales, en la Formación Moniello-Santa Lucía, los estromatopóridos son los principales responsables de las estructuras arrecifales, mientras que en las restantes formaciones, las bioconstrucciones más comunes están edificadas por corales rugosos y tabulados. La integra...

Tras justificar la importancia que el tema tiene para el pensamiento de Husserl son presentados los diferentes acercamientos a esta cuestión en cada una de las épocas de su pensamiento, distinguiendo fundamentalmente tres periodos: las lecciones sobre la conciencia interna del tiempo (1904/05), los manuscritos de Bernau (1917/18) y los manuscritos C (1929/34).Palabras claveFenomenología, tiempo, conciencia, Husserl.This paper offers a general overview of a research developed and defended as a PhD at the University of Barcelona in April 2007 concerning the problem of time- consciousness in Husserl’s phenomenology. After justifying the relevance of the subject to Husserl, we present the different approaches to the problem of time-consciousness ...

En la Península Ibérica, además, diversas circunstancias paleogeográficas y tectónicas impidieron el desarrollo de sucesiones continuas en el intervalo correspondiente salvo, quizás, en la Cordillera Cantábrica (N de España). Se analiza la posibilidad de identificar el límite Eifeliense/Givetiense en dicha región, mediante el estudio de las señales del evento global Kacak-otomari en una localidad muy bien expuesta de la Formación Huergas, en Aleje (León), donde hay faunas fósiles relativamente abundantes, pero poco características, constituidas, sobre todo, por braquiópodos y corales.

The Olorda Formation was studied in the Bruguers section, where two new tabulate coral species, Petridictyum casanovai n. sp. and Procteria �Granulidictyum�? gavaensis n. sp., have been collected. The �l Papiol Formation was studied in the �l Papiol and Cánoves sections, and four tabulate coral taxa, Sutherlandia? sp., Smythina humilis �Hinde, 1896�, Palaeacis sp. and Cladochonus sp., have been recognised. �n addition, the succession of the Olorda Formation in Bruguers is described. Lochkovian-lowermost Pragian age is established for the B Member of this formation in Bruguers and this section is correlated with the t��pe section of the formation in Santa Creu d’Olorda.

Las descripciones realizadas comprenden cinco especies, de !as cuales Rhizophyllum extensum se propone como nueva, R. sp. A y R. sp. B son también, probablemente, nuevas, pero la falta de material más abundante y mejor conservado hace que ias mantengamos, por el momento, en nomenclatura abierta. R. hedini (Regnell) era conocida solo por su morfología externa y ahora se describen por primera vez sus estructuras internas. Finalmente, R. cf. enorme (Etheridge) no habia sido citada nunca en China y su presencia en el area de Arpishmebulaq confirma relaciones biogeograficas durante el Lochkoviense con los Montes Urales, Salair, Asia Central (Altai) y Este de Australia.

Following this tripartite division this paper analyzes the appearances of this concept in several texts of Husserl’s thinking: Logical Investigations (1900-1901), Renewal of human being and of culture (1932-1937), some manuscripts of the 30’s about teleology, the Crisis (1936) and the complementary text to the Crisis number 32 «Teleology in the history of philosophy»(1936). Finally the paper deals with an introduction to a possible analysis of the divine from the concept of teleology and a discussion about how far the concept of teleology can be tackled by phenomenology or would have to be studied exclusively by theology. (1932-1937), some manuscripts of the 30’s about teleology, the

Currently performed intradermal tests present some important limitations, such as the lack of ability to detect anergic animals or to differentiate among mycobacterial species. In order to improve the TB diagnosis, serological assays have been developed, with encouraging results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a MPB70-ELISA in 82 piglets divided into four groups: sensitized by inactivated M. bovis, M. avium, inoculated with oil adjuvant, or with saline solution. The test was able to discriminate between an animal sensitized by M. bovis and animals of the three other groups, including M. avium-sensitized animals; for this reason, we suggest that MPB70-ELISA could be used as a complementary tool for discriminating the agent of the m...

Para esto ayudarían los estudios de electrofisiología. Se presentan tres casos clínicos de pacientes con malformaciones del oído interno que fueron evaluados con ePEAT para ayudar a determinar su candidatura a implante coclear. Los estudios electrofisiológicos no reemplazan a los estudios tradicionales de evaluación auditiva ni a los estudios por imágenes, sino que los complementan. Los casos presentados, demuestran que en casos de malformaciones de oído interno o CAI muy estrecho, en que se cuestiona seriamente la existencia de un nervio coclear funcional, y en casos de neuropatía auditiva, se hace necesario evaluar la función de la cóclea separadamente de la del nervio auditivo y la función del tronco. Para esto se utilizamos los ePEAT. Los ePEAT entregan información valiosísima ya que nos permite conocer las reales capacidades de los pacientes para transmitir un estímulo auditivo hacia el sistema nervioso central, definiendo mejor las expectativas con el uso implante, asistiéndonos en nuestra toma de decisiones.

In previous experiments focused on searching for a preventive method for managing this pest, a wood extract of bitterwood, Quassia amara L. ex Blom (Simaroubaceae) had been shown to cause phagodeterrence to larvae. Therefore, three fractions (water, methanol and diethyl ether) of a wood extract were tested for their phagodeterrence to larvae, by means of laboratory and greenhouse trials. Phagodeterrence was assessed by determining their effect on foliage consumption, mortality and signs of damage (number of orifices, sawdust piles, fallen shoots, number of tunnels and tunnel length) caused by larvae on Spanish cedar (C. odorata). Both the methanol and diethyl ether fractions caused phagodeterrence, by strongly reducing foliage consumption and signs of damage, while not causing larval mortality. The lowest concentration at which phagodeterrence was detected for the methanol fraction corresponded to 0.0625%, which is equivalent to a 1.0% of the bitterwood crude extract. However, results with the diethyl ether fraction were unsatisfactory, as none of the treatments differed from the solvent, possibly because of an adverse effect of the solvent on foliar tissues. Phagodeterrent principles from Q. amara derivatives may play an important role in dealing with H. grandella if they are complemented with other integrated pest management preventative tactics.

The technology used for the real implementation of the architecture is based on the B-MAC (Berkeley Medium Access Control) medium access protocol to assure a high degree of sensor node power autonomy. To resolve this issue, a series of specialized sensor nodes (Soil-Mote, Environmental-Mote and Water-Mote) have been developed along with a gateway to interconnect them with the farm central offices. Before starting device development, simulations were conducted to ensure that acceptable performance would be achieved with the selected technology in terms of node autonomy, achieved throughput and delays. To that end, it was necessary to implement the selected B-MAC protocol in the ns-2 (Network Simulator-2) simulation framework. The final system was deployed on a real crop to check and validate the simulation results against experimental results.

However, few data is available and its use in spermatozoa requires investigation. It is well established that mitochondrial membrane potential is an important viability parameter of spermatozoa and it is intimately related to reproductive efficiency. In this manner, new technologies in order to improve the activity of sperm cells and, finally, the fecundity of swine herds are of extremely importance. Due to the lack of knowledge of homeopathic treatment effect on spermatozoa, the aim of the present study was to verify the effect of three different homeopathic treatments on viability of boar sperm cells. Three homeopathic treatments composed by Pulsatila CH6, Pulsatila and Avena CH6, Avena CH6 and one control treatment (sucrose) were added to diluted boar semen, which were cooled for 24 or 48 h. Interestingly, no positive effect of homeopathic treatments was observed over semen viability. However, it was demonstrated that the 24 h of cooling storage provided more viable sperm cells when compared to the 48-h period. This effect of storage period on sperm viability was assessed by intact plasmatic membrane, intact acrosome and mitochondrial membrane potential evaluation. Keywords Homeopathy. Swine semen. Sperm viability Homeopathy is used in the treatment and prevention of many diseases in humans and animals, and studies have already confirmed its efficiency, it is object of various

Metre-scale mud mounds and coral biostromes occur encased in the fossiliferous reddish and greenish-grey shale/marlstones, respectively, with the coral biostromes overlying conspicuous skeletal limestone bodies. These rocks were deposited on a carbonate ramp, ranging from above storm wave base for the cross-bedded skeletal limestones to below the storm wave base for the remaining deposits, organic buildups included. The vertical stacking of these facies and the occurrence of the two types of buildups are interpreted to reflect the interplay among several (possibly 4th and 5th) orders of relative sea-level variations, during a 3rd-order highstand. Coral biostromes occur in early 5th-order transgressive system tracts developed within late 4th-order highstand, and are interpreted to have thrived on a stable granular substrate (skeletal limestones) in non-turbid waters, being later aborted by the

Both the methanol and diethyl ether fractions caused phagodeterrence, by strongly reducing foliage consumption and signs of damage, while not causing larval mortality. The lowest concentration at which phagodeterrence was detected for the methanol fraction corresponded to 0.0625%, which is equivalent to a 1.0% of the bitterwood crude extract. However, results with the diethyl ether fraction were unsatisfactory, as none of the treatments differed from the solvent, possibly because of an adverse effect of the solvent on foliar tissues. Phagodeterrent principles from Q. amara derivatives may play an important role in dealing with H. grandella if they are complemented with other integrated pest management preventative tactics.

Aos 30 dias de idade, todos os animais foram submetidos a uma triagem com a aplicação de tuberculina PPD bovina, pela via intradérmica na base da orelha e não houve qualquer tipo de reação. Decorridos 60 dias do teste tuberculínico de triagem, o grupo A recebeu injeção intramuscular de 0,5 mL de uma suspensão oleosa de M. avium estirpe D4; o grupo B recebeu 0,5 mL de uma suspensão oleosa de M. bovis estirpe AN5; o grupo C (controle I), recebeu 0,5 mL do adjuvante oleoso; e o grupo D (controle II), recebeu 0,5 mL de solução fisiológica. Após 30 dias da ...

The technology used for the real implementation of the architecture is based on the B-MAC (Berkeley Medium Access Control) medium access protocol to assure a high degree of sensor node power autonomy. To resolve this issue, a series of specialized sensor nodes (Soil-Mote, Environmental-Mote and Water-Mote) have been developed along with a gateway to interconnect them with the farm central offices. Before starting device development, simulations were conducted to ensure that acceptable performance would be achieved with the selected technology in terms of node autonomy, achieved throughput and delays. To that end, it was necessary to implement the selected B-MAC protocol in the ns-2 (Network Simulator-2) simulation framework. The final system was deployed on a real crop to check and validate the simulation results against experimental results.

However, few data is available and its use in spermatozoa requires investigation. It is well established that mitochondrial membrane potential is an important viability parameter of spermatozoa and it is intimately related to reproductive efficiency. In this manner, new technologies in order to improve the activity of sperm cells and, finally, the fecundity of swine herds are of extremely importance. Due to the lack of knowledge of homeopathic treatment effect on spermatozoa, the aim of the present study was to verify the effect of three different homeopathic treatments on viability of boar sperm cells. Three homeopathic treatments composed by Pulsatila CH6, Pulsatila and Avena CH6, Avena CH6 and one control treatment (sucrose) were added to diluted boar semen, which were cooled for 24 or 48 h. Interestingly, no positive effect of homeopathic treatments was observed over semen viability. However, it was demonstrated that the 24 h of cooling storage provided more viable sperm cells when compared to the 48-h period. This effect of storage period on sperm viability was assessed by intact plasmatic membrane, intact acrosome and mitochondrial membrane potential evaluation. Keywords Homeopathy. Swine semen. Sperm viability Homeopathy is used in the treatment and prevention of many diseases in humans and animals, and studies have already confirmed its efficiency, it is object of various

Metre-scale mud mounds and coral biostromes occur encased in the fossiliferous reddish and greenish-grey shale/marlstones, respectively, with the coral biostromes overlying conspicuous skeletal limestone bodies. These rocks were deposited on a carbonate ramp, ranging from above storm wave base for the cross-bedded skeletal limestones to below the storm wave base for the remaining deposits, organic buildups included. The vertical stacking of these facies and the occurrence of the two types of buildups are interpreted to reflect the interplay among several (possibly 4th and 5th) orders of relative sea-level variations, during a 3rd-order highstand. Coral biostromes occur in early 5th-order transgressive system tracts developed within late 4th-order highstand, and are interpreted to have thrived on a stable granular substrate (skeletal limestones) in non-turbid waters, being later aborted by the
