Four cruises in the Bohai Sea and northern Yellow off Yantai, China, April August of 2020, collected data on species composition community structure characteristics macrobenthos these sea areas. Temporal spatial changes dominant macrobenthic between were also analyzed. The M-AMBI environmental used to assess benthic ecological quality coastal waters Yantai. results revealed differences status t...

Ecosystem services (ES) are theoretically linked to healthy ecological conditions, but this relationship seems be rather challenging demonstrate in the real world. Therefore, shedding light on these aspects can crucial for implementing effective ecosystem management strategies, instance within context of EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) implementation. This work aims present a spatially-expli...

Las características ecológicas de la macrofauna bentónica, convierten en un buen indicador para evaluar los efectos perturbaciones antropogénicas (e.g., acuicultura, emisarios submarinos, etc.) sobre ecosistemas marinos. La normativa chilena aplicable a monitoreos ambientales establece que su caracterización debe realizarse utilizando tamices 1.000 µm abertura. Con el objetivo pérdida informaci...

BACKGROUND HCV is a leading cause of liver chronic diseases all over the world. In developed countries the highest prevalence of infection is reported among intravenous drug users and haemodialysis (HD) patients. The present report is to identify the pathway of HCV transmission during an outbreak of HCV infection in a privately run haemodialysis (HD) unit in Italy in 2005. METHODS Dynamics of...

In classical conditioning, proactive interference may arise from experience with the conditioned stimulus (CS), the unconditional stimulus (US), or both, prior to their paired presentations. Interest in the application of proactive interference has extended to clinical populations as either a risk factor for disorders or as a secondary sign. Although the current literature is dense with compari...

Anxiety vulnerable individuals exhibit enhanced acquisition of conditioned eyeblinks as well as enhanced proactive interference from conditioned stimulus (CS) or unconditioned stimulus (US) alone pre-exposures (Holloway et al., 2012). US alone pre-exposures disrupt subsequent conditioned response (CR) acquisition to CS-US paired trials as compared to context pre-exposure controls. While Hollowa...

Behavioral inhibition (BI) is an anxiety vulnerability factor associated with hypervigilance to novel stimuli, threat, and ambiguous cues. The progression from anxiety risk to a clinical disorder is unknown, although the acquisition of defensive learning and avoidance may be a critical feature. As the expression of avoidance is also central to anxiety development, the present study examined avo...
