The international community have been of aware of IUU fishing for over a decade.As a result, the FAO adopted an International Plan of Action in 2001 which called upon all its members to take actions against these illegal practices.The EC adopted a Regulation to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing on 29 September 2008.It will enter into force o
Perceptions as hypotheses: saccades as experiments
If perception corresponds to hypothesis testing (Gregory, 1980); then visual searches might be construed as experiments that generate sensory data.In this work, we explore the idea that saccadic eye movements are optimal experiments, in which data are gathered to test hypotheses or beliefs about how those data are caused.This provides a plausible m
Molecular and morphological analysis of the developing nemertean brain indicates convergent evolution of complex brains in Spiralia
Abstract Background The brain anatomy in the clade Spiralia can vary from simple, commissural brains (e.g., gastrotrichs, rotifers) to rather complex, partitioned structures (e.g., in cephalopods and annelids).How often and in which lineages complex brains evolved still remains unclear.Nemerteans are a clade of worm-like spiralians, which possess a
Dexamethasone enhances glutamine synthetase activity and reduces N-methyl-D-aspartate neurotoxicity in mixed cultures of neurons and astrocytes
Astrocytes are claimed to protect neurons against excitotoxicity by clearing glutamate from the extracellular space and rapidly converting it into glutamine.Glutamine, is then released into the extracellular medium, taken up by neurons and transformed back into glutamate which is then omni logic plus stored into synaptic vesicles.Glutamine syntheta
RESEARCH OF VARIOUS ISO-MANIFOLDS IN FOUR COMPONENT SYSTEMS CONTAINING BIAZEOTROPIC BINARY CONSTITUENTS
In the present work, an analysis of the mutual arrangement of a number of iso-manifolds in the concentration tetrahedron formed by the components of the separated mixture and an additional substance, an extractive agent, was carried probios intelliflora for dogs out to estimate the possibility of separating three-component mixtures containing biaze
