A new approach to model geomaterials with heterogeneous properties in thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled problems
No full textThe main objective of this article is to present a new approach to model coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical problems considering geomaterials with heterogeneous properties. This approach has been implemented in the software CODE_BRIGHT and it provides the possibility of considering geomaterials with a spatially correlated heterogeneous field of porosity, following a normal distribution. This spatial correlation can be isotropic or anisotropic. An important feature of this approach is that material properties such as intrinsic permeability, thermal conductivity, diffusivity, retention curve, elastic modulus or cohesion are defined as a function of porosity and, thus, they become heterogeneous with spatial correlation and, eventually, anisotropic. A validation exercise and other basic numerical examples have been carried out to illustrate the possibilities of the proposed approach. The results, which have been compared with a homogeneous case, show that considering heterogeneous fields can be relevant in different modelling problems, especially coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical problems.This research was supported by the CODE_BRIGHT Project (CIMNE, International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering) and by the DECOVALEX Project.

Prevalence and diagnostic value of GPs' gut feelings for cancer and serious diseases : protocol for a prospective observational study of diagnostic validity
No full textAbstract: Introduction Cancer diagnosis in primary care is an important challenge for general practitioners (GPs) due to the relatively low frequency of any single type of cancer and the heterogeneous signs and symptoms that can be present. In addition to analytical reasoning, GPs may become aware of gut feelings (GFs) as they suspect that a patient may have cancer or another serious disease. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and the predictive value of GFs for the diagnosis of cancer and serious diseases. Methods and analysis Prospective observational study of diagnostic validity. Participation will be offered to GPs from Majorca and Zaragoza (Spain). They will recruit all patients with a new reason for encounter during one or two workdays. GPs will complete the Gut Feelings Questionnaire (GFQ). Variables regarding patient, GP and consultation will be collected. Two and 6 months after the first visit, incident diagnoses of cancer or other serious diseases, diagnostic tests performed, referrals and new visits will be recorded. Analysis will include a descriptive analysis of the variables and prevalence of GFs, and the sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and likelihood ratios of the GFs (sense of alarm and sense of reassurance) for diagnosing cancer and other serious diseases, as measured with the GFQ. Ethics and dissemination The study has obtained approval from the Majorcan Primary Care Research Committee and from the Balearic Islands Ethical Committee, with reference number IB 3210/16 PI. The results may help GPs to make more accurate decisions about which patients need further examinations to rule out or to confirm a diagnosis of cancer or a serious disease, and which ones do not. The results will be published as part of the PhD project of the first author and in open access journals, and will be presented at medical conferences
Reduced glutathione and cysteine hydrochloride on crossbred bull semen
No full textOver the last few years, good quality freezable semen was not utilized effectively due to less knowledge about the freezability of semen. One reason is the lack of sufficient antioxidants in the seminal plasma and semen extender. The antioxidant content is reduced during the cryopreservation process and causes premature cryo-capacitation and modification of sperm membrane structure upon thawing. So the study of pre-freezing and post thaw seminal parameters like viability, motility, acrosomal integrity, lipid peroxide assay, vanguard distance traveled by sperm, mitochondrial membrane potential, velocity and motility parameters (CASA) and field fertility trial helped to assess the effectiveness of the additives. The conception rate was better in reduced glutathione than the cysteine hydrochloride treated group. The glutathione has improved the poor freezing and maintained the good freezable semen. Thus the field fertility rate was enhanced and in turn helped to prevent waste of good quality germplasm and repeat breeder syndrome in cows

The multi-factorial aetiology of urogenital carcinoma in the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) : a case-control study
No full textCalifornia sea lions (CSLs) have an unusually high occurrence of urogenital cancer (UGC), with studies revealing metastatic carcinoma in 26 % of CSLs admitted to a rehabilitation centre between 1998 and 2012. It is likely that the aetiology of this disease is multi-factorial as genetics, viral infection and exposure to contaminants have been associated with this cancer to date. The goal of this study was to investigate the association of a number of factors using a case-control study design on animals admitted to a rehabilitation centre. The study additionally concentrates on two main areas; (i) genetic factors and (ii) the presence of herpesvirus.
Previous investigations identified cancer to be more likely in animals with specific microsatellite alleles. In the present study genotyping of CSLs at three microsatellite loci revealed that homozygosity at one marker (Pv11) was significantly associated with the presence of the disease. Pv11 was found to be located within a gene called heparanase 2 (HPSE2) and investigations into the expression of its protein revealed differences according to Pv11 genotype.
The presence of herpesvirus was investigated by two PCR methods and identified the gammaherpesvirus OtHV-1. The results of the two methods were contradictory with one method identifying a highly significant relationship between the presence of OtHV-1 and UGC whereas the other did not. Complicating factors such as potential differences in sensitivity of the tests along with the possible presence of closely related viruses or variants of OtHV-1 may explain this.
The availability of necropsy data for the CSLs in the study allowed the inclusion of body condition data in the statistical analysis to evaluate other potential risk factors. Final analysis revealed the presence of three risk factors; Pv11 genotype, OtHV-1 presence and thinner blubber.
This study is the largest study undertaken so far in order to investigate the involvement of risk factors associated with UGC in the CSL and supports a multi-factorial aetiology of this disease
Survival and dispersal routes of head-started loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) post-hatchlings in the Mediterranean Sea
No full text[EN] Several loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nesting events have been recorded along Spain's Mediterranean coast, outside its known nesting range, in recent years. In view of the possible expansion of its nesting range and considering the conservation status of this species, management measures like nest protection and head-start programs have been implemented. To study the dispersal behavior and survival of head-started loggerheads, 19 post-hatchlings from three nesting events were satellite tracked after their release in three consecutive years (2015-2017). This paper presents the first study of survival probabilities and dispersal movements of loggerhead post-hatchlings in the Mediterranean basin. Monitored post-hatchlings dispersed over large areas using variable routes, mainly off the continental shelf. Nonetheless, post-hatchlings dispersed to high-productivity warmer areas during the coldest months of monitoring. These areas might be optimum for their survival and development. We observed differences regarding dispersal orientation and routes among individuals, even from the same nest, release date, and location. Our survival models contributed to improving current survival estimates for sea turtle post-hatchlings. We observed a high probability of survival in head-started individuals during the first months after release, usually the most critical period after reintroduction. The data did not support an effect of habitat (neritic or oceanic) in survival, or an effect of the region (Balearic sea or Alboran sea) in survival probability. Differences in survival between nests were observed. These differences might be related to parasitic infections suffered during the head-starting period. This study shows that nest management measures may contribute to the conservation and range expansion of the loggerhead turtle population in the western Mediterranean.This satellite study was funded by Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, Ministerio de Agricultura y Medio Ambiente (ref: 16MNSV006), Ministerio de Economia, Industria y Competitividad (ref: CGL2011-30413), Fundacion CRAM, Fundacion Hombre y Territorio and Eduardo J.
