Atoll rim expansion or erosion in Diego Garcia Atoll, Indian Ocean? : comment on Hamylton, S., East, H. A geospatial appraisal of ecological and geomorphic change on Diego Garcia Atoll, Chagos Islands (British Indian Ocean Territory). Remote Sens. 2012, 4, 3444–3461
No full textHamylton and East [1] reported a remarkably substantial expansion and accretion of land since the 1960s at numerous sites along the island of Diego Garcia atoll. This atoll has a near continuous rim encircling its lagoon, and they reported that the width of the island rim has expanded by several tens of metres in many places. Those results contrast markedly with my own near-annual observations on the ground where erosion and increased seawater inundation, rather than land accretion, is evident in many places. Hamylton and East have never visited the atoll but their results have been picked up for various reasons. Therefore I note possible reasons for the substantial discrepancy between their measurements and my own observations, and propose a resolution

Ordre de naixement i risc per al trastorn per dèficit d'atenció amb o sense hiperactivitat
No full textEl nostre estudi aporta dades no descrites amb anterioritat sobre la possible influència de l’ordre de naixement en el desenvolupament del TDAH.
L’estudi es va realitzar en dues etapes. Un primer estudi, preliminar, va avaluar en una mostra clínica ambulatòria amb diagnòstic TDAH la freqüència de primogènits respecte a d’altres ordres de naixement. Es va trobar un predomini de primogènits a la mostra. En un segon estudi es va analitzar el risc de tenir TDAH segons l’ordre de naixement, trobant-se un risc incrementat del primogènit de quasi el doble de patir TDAH respecte a d’altres ordres.

DOI: 10.1177/1087054712445066 .Our study provides data not previously described on the possible influence of birth order on the development of ADHD .
The study was conducted in two stages. The first study , preliminary evaluated in a patient diagnosed with ADHD clinical sample frequency firstborn over other birth orders . We found a predominance of the firstborn in the sample. In a second study analyzed the risk of ADHD in order of birth , being the eldest son of an increased risk of suffering from ADHD almost double compared to other orders.

Editorial: Acetic acid bacteria
No full textAcetic acid bacteria (ABB) are strictly aerobic organisms that can be found in a wide variety of natural and industrial environments. Their versatility and metabolic adaptability make them microorganisms of high interest to study the optimization of obtaining their multiple products and the essential mechanisms that allow them to grow under extreme conditions. Their metabolism, particularly the role of membrane-bound and soluble dehydrogenases, may offer new opportunities in the development of innovative processes based on their capability for carrying out the incomplete oxidation of several substrates. On the other hand, the resistance of AAB to some extreme conditions, i.e., low pH values, and adaptability to many different habitats make them highly competitive bacteria; so, their interaction with other organisms and plants is a very important topic to be studied. The ability of AAB in producing exopolysaccharides is also of great interest for both research and industrial purposes. They are considered as model organisms for understanding the mechanisms of cellulose synthesis and they are until now the most efficient organisms for producing it, under controlled conditions. Finally, the current state of omic technologies and efficient genetic modification methods can be applied for a greater understanding of the physiological behavior, the recovery of new strains and/or those occurring in complex environments as well as to exploit the full potential of AAB for oxidative bioconversions
