Last whorl rounded, 73% of the total length of teleoconch. Apical angle of 49°. Spiral sculpture consisting in marked primary cords. First whorl: appearance of a shoulder spine and later formation of P1 and P2. Last whorl: sutural ramp, appearance of IP; convex part of the whorl, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 well developed; siphonal canal, P6 placed on the top, ADP and MP present. Axial sculpture with lamellose varices since the first whorl. Aperture ovate. Columellar lip smooth, slightly erected anteriorly. Outer lip erected and ondulated. Internal denticles ID, D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5. Siphonal canal open and dorsally recurved, of 23% of the total length of teleoconch. Squamous microsculpture with erected growing lamellae. Shell creamy with brown bands in P3 and between P5 and P6. Aperture creamy. Operculum and radula unknown. COMPARISON Pygmaepterys pointieri n. sp. differs from P.germainae Vokes & D’Attilio, 1980 (Fig. 5 J-M) by a higher spire, a narrower shape, the lack of columellar folds and a brown notch near the suture. The holotype of P. aliceae (Petuch, 1987) is an eroded shell with a somewhat eroded ornamentation (Fig. 5I). However, P. pointieri n. sp. is distinguishing from P.aliceae by a more shouldered shell with a P1 spine which is adapically turned. The brown bands of P. pointieri n. sp. are lacking in P. aliceae which is entirely white.Published as part of Garrigues, Bernard & Merle, Didier, 2014, Nine new species of Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the French Antilles, pp. 841-864 in Zoosystema 36 (4) on pages 850-852, DOI: 10.5252/z2014n4a7, http://zenodo.org/record/515967

Oral Docosahexaenoic Acid in the Prevention of Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration The Nutritional AMD Treatment 2 Study
No full textObjective: To evaluate the efficacy of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-enriched oral supplementation in preventing exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design: The Nutritional AMD Treatment 2 study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel, comparative study. Participants: Two hundred sixty-three patients 55 years of age or older and younger than 85 years with early lesions of age-related maculopathy and visual acuity better than 0.4 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution units in the study eye and neovascular AMD in the fellow eye. Methods: Patients were assigned randomly to receive either 840 mg/day DHA and 270 mg/day eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from fish oil capsules or the placebo (olive oil capsules) for 3 years. Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measure was time to occurrence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the study eye. Secondary outcome measures in the study eye were: incidence of CNV developing in patients, changes in visual acuity, occurrence and progression of drusen, and changes in EPA plus DHA level in red blood cell membrane (RBCM). Results: Time to occurrence and incidence of CNV in the study eye were not significantly different between the DHA group (19.5 +/- 10.9 months and 28.4%, respectively) and the placebo group (18.7 +/- 10.6 months and 25.6%, respectively). In the DHA group, EPA plus DHA levels increased significantly in RBCM (+70%; P < 0.001), suggesting that DHA easily penetrated cells, but this occurred unexpectedly also in the placebo group (+9%; P = 0.007). In the DHA-allocated group, patients steadily achieving the highest tertile of EPA plus DHA levels in RBCM had significantly lower risk (-68%; P = 0.047; hazard ratio, 0.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.10-0.99) of CNV developing over 3 years. No marked changes from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity, drusen progression, or geographic atrophy in the study eye were observed throughout the study in either group. Conclusions: In patients with unilateral exudative AMD, 3 years of oral DHA-enriched supplementation had the same effect on CNV incidence in the second eye as did the placebo. However, RBCM fatty acid measurements revealed that CNV incidence was significantly reduced in DHA-supplemented patients showing a steadily high EPA plus DHA index over 3 years.

KJ591660), KARUBENTHOS 2012, stn GD60, 16°12.05’N – 61°03.9’W, at 95 m deep. TYPE LOCALITY. — East of Petite Terre Island, Guadeloupe, 16°12.05’N – 61°03.9’W (GD60), at 95 m deep. ETYMOLOGY. — Named in honour of Philippe Bouchet. DESCRIPTION OF THE HOLOTYPE Protoconch of 1.25 whorls. Teleoconch ovate, H 15.4 mm, D 7.7 mm. Spire moderately high of five subcarinate whorls. Last whorl rounded, of 73% of the total length of teleoconch. Apical angle of 70°. Spiral sculpture consisting in primary cords slightly more marked on the varices than on the intervarical space. Wing-like varices flattened with a varical extension along the siphonal canal. Appearance of P1 and P2 cords since the third whorl. IP on the sutural ramp. On the convex part of the whorl: P1, P2, P3 and P4 well developed, P5 smaller. On the siphonal canal: P6 and ADP. On the first whorl: six protovarices; on the second whorl: seven protovarices; on the third and fourth whorl: three varices and three intervarical ribs (intercalated between two varices); on the last whorl: three varices and five small of intervarical ribs (intercalated between two varices). Aperture ovate. Columellar lip smooth and adherent. Outer lip erected and lacking denticles within. Siphonal canal open, dorsally recurved and up to 23% of the total length of teleoconch. Microsculpture: thin spiral threads on the whole surface of the shell, when the intritacalx is removed. Intritacalx marked by a latticework of axial and spiral lines. Shell colour unknown under a creamy intritacalx. Aperture orange. Operculum and radula unknown. COMPARISON (SEE ALSO TABLE 1) Dermomurex (Trialatella) boucheti n. sp. should be compared with D. (T.) abyssicola, to D. (T.) oxum Petuch, 1979 (Fig. 3M) from Panama to Brazil between 25 and 52 m deep and to the type species. Dermomurex (T.) boucheti n. sp differs from D. (T.) abyssicola by a shorter spire, a broader shell and by more developed varical extensions. In addition, the axial sculpture of D. (T.) boucheti n. sp. bears five small intervarical ribs (intercalated between two varices) on the last whorl, whereas that of D. (T.) abyssicola bears only a single intervarical rib (intercalated between two varices). D. (T.) boucheti n. sp. is distinguished from D. (T.) oxum by lacking intervarical rib. Moreover, its shape is ovate instead biconical. The outer lip of D. (T.) boucheti n. sp. is smooth, whereas it bears five denticles (D1 to D5) in D. (T.) cunninghamae (Merle et al. 2011, fig. 76A).Published as part of Garrigues, Bernard & Merle, Didier, 2014, Nine new species of Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the French Antilles, pp. 841-864 in Zoosystema 36 (4) on pages 846-848, DOI: 10.5252/z2014n4a7, http://zenodo.org/record/515967
A simplified proof of the Granja-Merle factorization theorem
Get PDFIn [G] Granja proved a factorization theorem for power series in two variables which generalized the Merle theorem [M] on polar curves. Our aim is to reprove his result without resorting to Hamburger-Noether expansions and Apéry sequences. We base our proof on the method developed by us in [GB-P l].En [6] Granja provó una generalización del teorema de Merle [7] para curvas polares de ramas planas. El trabajo presenta una prueba de este resultado sin recurrir a la expansion de Hamburger-Noether o secuencias de Apéry (presentes en la prueba original), sino basándonos en el método desarrollado en [4]

Jean-Jacques Rousseau: On The Individual and Society
No full textIn this study, Merle L. Perkins links individual freedom with national power in offering a close reading of Jean-Jacques Rousseau\u27s major texts. He sees in Rousseau\u27s thought an extreme tension and interdependence between the idiosyncrasy of nonconforming character and an almost obsessive concern with the external pressures operating on the state.
Merle L. Perkins is the author of numerous books on philosophy, including The Moral and Political Philosophy of the Abbé de Saint-Pierre and Diderot and the Time-Space Continuum: His Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Politics.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_political_theory/1001/thumbnail.jp
