ntimicrobianas empíricas en infecciones producidas por este atógeno. No podemos obviar la posibilidad de colonización de reserorios, pero tampoco podemos descartar la implicación de este icroorganismo en bacteriemias descritas5, dado que algunos atógenos desencadenantes de sepsis, pueden colonizar reservoios cutáneos (port-a-cath) y generar biofilms. Concluimos, que la secuenciación para la ide...

This paper studies systems of explicit mathematics as introduced by Feferman [9, 11]. In particular, we propose weak explicit type systems with a restricted form of elementary comprehension whose provably terminating operations coincide with the functions on binary words that are computable in polynomial time. The systems considered are natural extensions of the first-order applicative theories...

Dr Kakizoe chaired the session and expressed his sincere concerns about the ongoing big snow storm in the United States. Professor T. Sugimura opened the Eighteenth International Symposium. Since 1988, 578 speakers from 24 nations around the world have been invited to discuss various cancers comprehensively, usually one cancer at a time. This was the second time where prostate cancer (PC) was d...

S e presentan dos métodos que se pueden utilizar como alternativas al GWAS para localizar QTLs en ganado. El primero se centra en el análisis de secuencias de homocigosis (runs of homozygosity, ROH) en grupos de animales (p.ej. casos y controles); el segundo es un método de remuestreo basado en la frecuencia de inclusión de los SNP en modelos predictivos. Las ROH se aplicaron a la identificació...

The impact of three treatment strategies for Trypanosoma evansi control on horse mortality in the Brazilian Pantanal based on four size categories of cattle ranches is explored. The region's 49,000 horses are indispensable to traditional extensive cattle ranching and T. evansi kills horses. About 13% of these horses would be lost, annually, due to T. evansi if no control were undertaken. One pr...

We give an exact spectral equivalence between the quantum group invariant XXZ chain with arbitrary left boundary term and the same XXZ chain with purely diagonal boundary terms. This equivalence, and a further one with a link pattern Hamiltonian, can be understood as arising from different representations of the one-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra. For a system of size L these representations a...

Malignant tumours in pregnant women are rare. The terms ‘gestational breast cancer (GBC)’ and ‘pregnancy-associated breast cancer’ are given to breast cancer cases diagnosed during pregnancy and up to one year post-partum. Treatment methods, as well as treatment onset and time of pregnancy termination, remain controversial. We describe two fatal cases of GBC in multiparous women over 35 years o...

It is commonly believed that the use of arbitrary symbols and the process of symbolisation have made possible the discourse of modern mathematics as well as modern, symbolic logic. This paper discusses the role of symbols in logic and mathematics, and in particular analyses whether symbols remain arbitrary in the process of symbolisation. It begins with a brief summary of the relation between s...
