The juvenile index at a nursery area on the Gulf of Batabanó has proved to be a reliable predictor of total catch of the common lobster (Panulirus argus) fishery; up to 1 year in advance. Over the last 15 years (1982–1996) juveniles have been monitored in concrete-block shelters that permit wider variation in juvenile recruitment and thus a regional and seasonal prediction of catches. Since 1988, puerulus settlement has been measured by means of artificial-seaweed collectors, but the short ...

Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is probably the most common symptomatic pathologic entity--alone or mixed with other pathologic features--for seizures of temporal lobe origin. The pathophysiology of MTS, including any genetic influence, needs clarification. A characteristic ictal expression for seizures of MTS origin appears not to exist. The majority of patients (78%) with postresection MTS who are seizure-free have tightly localized interictal abnormalities restricted to F7/F8, Sp1/Sp2, T3/T4, and ...

We present a novel semi-supervised model, SS-Geo-GTM, which stems from a geodesic distance-based extension of Generative Topographic Mapping that prioritizes neighbourhood relationships along a generated manifold embedded in the observed data space. With this, it improves the trustworthiness and the continuity of the low-dimensional representations it provides, while behaving robustly in the presence of noise. In SS-Geo-GTM, the model prototypes are linked by the nearest neighbour to the data manifold ...

Summary: Isoflurane, an inhalation agent often used for general anesthesia during craniotomy, has been reported to suppress spike activity in the intraoperative electrocor‐ticogram (ECoG) during epilepsy surgery. We studied the effect of isoflurane concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 1.25% on the number of spike bursts per 5‐min epochs in 15 patients undergoing ECoG during epilepsy surgery. N 2 O in O 2 was maintained at 50% in 10 patients, at 60% in 2, and at 70% in 3. End tidal CO 2 concentration ...

The formulation of artificial diets is a fundamental issue in the development of lobster aquaculture. The impact of inclusion of clam, squid, chiton, and high-quality fish meal in a local fish meal-based diet on substrate metabolism and digestive proteases in juveniles Panulirus argus was evaluated by using two dietary protein levels, 25% and 35%, with 20% protein the basal level. The oxygen consumption/ammonia excretion ratio showed that lobsters fed clam and chiton diets used protein for oxidation ...

Between June and September (beginning of the fishing period), 88% of the catch is obtained by the use of the artificial shelters (pesqueros) in the Gulf of Batabano, while from October to February, a mass migration occurs and 70% of the catch is obtained using traps joined by nets (jaulones).

The estimation of user location is crucial to many context-aware applications.

The strengths of the radio-frequency (RF) signals arriving from several access points in a wireless LAN are related to the position of the mobile device. ...

Caribbean lobsters Panulirus argus support a large commercial fishery that is one of the most important at world level. The biggest theoretical and practical problem for management of the fishery is the great variation and uncertainty in recruitment. We synthesize the results of 10 years’ study of the abundance variability of the complex life-cycle stages of spiny lobsters in the Gulf of Batabanó. A total of 38 109 pueruli and postpueruli (1988–1996) were caught with artificial seaweed ...

Approximate confidence intervals about the mean growth curve for carapace length, to include 95% of the population at any age, have been estimated for these models. For both P. ornatus and P. cygnus, similar estimates of growth rate were obtained from both laboratory and field studies. Growth of the ...

The availability of such labeled databases is scarce in most areas of oncology, and especially so in neuro-oncology. In such ...

Finding the canonical correlations between these datasets requires the inversion of their corresponding sample correlation matrices. When the number of variables is large compared to the number of experimental units it is impossible to calculate the inverse of these matrices directly and therefore it is necessary to add a multiple of the identity matrix to them. This procedure ...
