Melanotaenia nigrans Richardson
No full textMelanotaenia nigrans Richardson Blackbanded Rainbowfish Extremely rare within the Kimberley region, Melanotaenia nigrans is only known from one small tributary in Dominic Creek near the mouth of the King Edward River (Fig. 21), and although WAM records suggest it is present in Yampi Sound, recent examination of these specimens by the senior author revealed them to be M. australis. The species is also found in coastal drainages of the Northern Territory, including Groote Eylandt and the northern tip of Cape York (Allen et al. 2002).Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
Le origini di Homo e le origini dell'esperienza estetica
No full textThis article explores the possibility of conceiving of the origins of aesthetic experience as a major evolutionary discontinuity directly correlated with anthropogenesis.
After a brief examination of some traces of primitive art, and taking into account some relevant ideas by Aristotle, Alberti, Hegel, Merleau-Ponty, Plessner, and Gerald Edelman, the author discusses the conditions under which “sensation” (aisthetis) could become a complex “experience”, byevoking the image of, or referring to, absent objects
Analyzing the effects of U.S. agricultural policy on Mexican agricultural markets using the MEXAGMKTS model
No full textThis paper uses results from simulations of the FAIRMODEL, USAGMKTS, and MEXAGMKTS models to analyze the effects of changes in U.S. agricultural policy on Mexican agricultural markets. The author concludes that under a scenario of trade liberalization for Mexico, Mexican agricultural production, prices, and trade are quite sensitive to agricultural policy changes in the U.S. The genesis of the research project was the perception that agricultural policies in Mexico (and many other countries) are often second best responses to the negative side effects of broad economic policies aimed primarily at macroeconomic and international trade objectives. The paper also discusses the role of agriculture in Mexican economic policy, and MEXAGMKTS, FAIR and USAGMKTS models. The paper includes an analysis of the sensitivity of Mexican agricultural markets to U.S. agricultural policy and a brief summary of the implications of the results.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Agricultural Research,Access to Markets,Markets and Market Access
Cancer Clonal Theory, Immune Escape, and Their Evolving Roles in Cancer Multi-Agent Therapeutics
No full textHow Cancers Escape Immune Destruction and Mechanisms of Action for the New Significantly Active Immune Therapies: Helping Nonimmunologists Decipher Recent Advances
No full textAbstract
With the Food and Drug Administration and other worldwide regulatory authorities’ approval of ipilimumab (Yervoy), sipuleucel-T (Provenge), nivolumab (Opdivo), and pembrolizumab (Keytruda), oncologic therapy has now moved into noncancer cell targets within the immune system. For many nonimmunologists, understanding how these vastly different therapies work to improve survival, like no other therapies have in the past, is a challenge. The present report reviews the normal function of the immune system, how cancers escape the normal immune system, and how these new therapies improve immune system reactions against cancers.</jats:p
Cancer Clonal Theory, Immune Escape, and Their Evolving Roles in Cancer Multi-Agent Therapeutics
No full textHaemorrhagic kidney syndrome of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
No full textThis report describes a new syndrome affecting farmed Atlantic salmon on the Canadian east coast that has resulted in increased morbidity and mortality in affected stocks. The major pathological findings are apparent only microscopically and include renal interstitial haemorrhage and acute tubular necrosis and tubular casting. As a result, the disease has become known as haemorrhagic kidney syndrome (HKS). Affected fish are lethargic and anorectic, and lark external lesions. Clinically, HKS fish are anaemic, hypoproteinaemic and hyperosmolalic, with increased serum concentrations of sodium and chloride. At necropsy, internal changes ranged from apparently normal to include one or several of the following: swelling and/or patchy reddening of the kidney, pale gills, exophthalmos, serosanguinous ascites, darkening of the posterior intestine and splenomegaly. Ultrastructurally, viral inclusions were found in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes of HKS fish, and there were unusual electron-dense inclusions within the tips of renal tubular microvilli of HKS fish. The significance and relevance of the ultrastructural findings to HKS are unknown. Virus isolation was attempted using CHSE, RTG-2, FH-10, BE and EPC cell lines; no virus was isolated. Bacteriological analysis failed to reveal significant pathogens. Analysis of tissues for heavy metals and pesticides was negative. Assays for clostridial toxins, lipopolysaccharide and verotoxins were negative. The aetiology of HKS remains unresolved.PT: J; CR: AHNE W, 1989, VIRUSES LOWER VERTEB, V3 ARMSTRONG R, 1993, CAN VET J, V34, P312 AUSTIN B, 1993, BACTERIAL FISH PATHO BOVO G, 1995, DIS AQUAT ORGAN, V21, P115 CONFER AW, 1995, THOMSONS SPECIAL VET, P209 DANNEVIG BH, 1995, J GEN VIROL, V76, P1353 EATON WD, 1993, J GEN VIROL, V74, P2299 EVENSEN O, 1991, RES VET SCI, V51, P215 FERGUSON HW, 1982, VET PATHOL, V19, P687 FOOTT JS, 1992, J AQUAT ANIM HEALTH, V4, P306 HETRICK FM, 1993, ANN REV FISH DIS, V3, P187 KIMURA T, 1986, DIS AQUAT ORGAN, V1, P209 KIMURA T, 1989, VIRUSES LOWER VERTEB, V3 KOSKI P, 1992, BULL EUR ASSN FISH P, V12, P177 LAMAS J, 1995, J FISH DIS, V18, P425 MEIER W, 1994, ANN REV FISH DIS, V4, P359 NOUGAYREDE P, 1992, B EUROPEAN ASS FISH, V12, P5 PINTO RA, 1992, J AQUATIC ANIMAL HLT, V4, P292 ROBERTS RJ, 1994, RECENT ADV AQUACULTU, V5 SANO T, 1995, AQUACULTURE, V132, P43 SMITH LS, 1975, MISCELLANEOUS SPECIA, V27 SPEILBERG L, 1995, VET PATHOL, V32, P466 THOESEN JC, 1994, BLUE BOOK SUGGESTED TISHER CC, 1989, RENAL PATHOLOGY CLIN, V1 WADDELL TE, 1996, INFECT IMMUN, V64, P1714 WOLF K, 1988, FISH VIRUSES FISH VI WOOD CM, 1995, PHYSL ECOLOGY PACIFI; NR: 27; TC: 29; J9: J FISH DISEASES; PG: 11; GA: 170XZSource type: Electronic(1
Toxotes chatareus
No full textToxotes chatareus (Hamilton) Sevenspot Archerfish Within Western Australia, the species appears to be typically restricted to the northern and eastern Kimberley (Fig. 38) and collections suggest that they are in the Fitzroy, Calder, Prince Regent (brackish water below King Cascade), Lawley, Carson (and lower King Edward), Durack, Pentecost and Ord River. The only known specimens reported from the Fitzroy River (WAM P.2620-001, and P.25434-004), which were examined by the senior author, correspond to T. kimberleyensis. Thus, the distribution should only include the rivers north and east of the Calder River.Published as part of Morgan, David L., Allen, Gerald R., Pusey, Bradley J. & Burrows, Damien W., 2011, 2816, pp. 1-64 in Zootaxa 2816 on page 1
