Nonetheless, other mollusks species such as the black clam Chione fluctifraga, which can be found along with cultured C. gigas in Sonora, represents a profitable emerging fishery resource. Since 1997, the oyster industry along the Gulf of California has been affected by severe mortality episodes disturbing almost all the farming areas. In order to evaluate the prevalence of Perkinsus marinus, a monthly sampling of 30 oysters and 30 clams was carried out during a one-year period. A total of 360 oysters and 360 clams were analyzed by Ray’s fluid thyoglicolate medium (RFTM) and PCR. The RFTM assay showed prevalence ranging from 3.3 to 60% for both oysters and clams through the study period, with infection levels from light to moderate, according to the Mackin scale. The PCR analysis was positive to P. marinus in the only one C. gigas with moderate infection in the RFTM analysis. The resulting sequence revealed 100% identity with the ITS region of P. marinus. To our knowledge, this is the first indication of Perkinsus sp. in the C. fluctifraga clam.

Gains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach

By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...

Improved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.

BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...

Steady electrodiffusion in hydrogel-colloid composites: macroscale properties from microscale electrokinetics.

A rigorous microscale electrokinetic model for hydrogel-colloid composites is adopted to compute macroscale profiles of electrolyte concentration, electrostatic potential, and hydrostatic pressure across membranes that separate electrolytes with different concentrations. The membranes are uncharged polymeric hydrogels in which charged spherical colloidal particles are immobilized and randomly d...

Perturbative Analysis of Dynamical Localisation

In this paper we extend previous results on convergent perturbative solutions of the Schrödinger equation of a class of periodically timedependent two-level systems. The situation treated here is particularly suited for the investigation of two-level systems exhibiting the phenomenon of (approximate) dynamical localisation. We also present a convergent perturbative expansion for the secular fre...

Collinear contextual suppression

The context of a target can modulate behavioral as well as neural responses to that target. For example, target processing can be suppressed by iso-oriented surrounds whereas it can be facilitated by collinear contextual elements. Here, we present experiments in which collinear elements exert strong suppression whereas iso-oriented contextual surrounds yield no contextual modulation--contrary t...
