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...

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 research described in this report was conducted as part of the Brown County Waste Transformation Initiative (BCWTI). The BCWTI is a public-private partnership of various stakeholders in northeast Wisconsin that is exploring methods of improved solid waste utilization through the development of commercially viable products that are appealing for public use. Many of these materials are curren...

A recent article suggests that the concept of “capital” cannot be routinely applied to the intangible items usually referred to as intellectual, social or human capital. The authors question whether ideas can be capital. We believe that this inquiry (which may reflect more general doubts) fails to capture the essential nature of capital. A reexamination of the nature of capital leads us to ask ...

The remember-know procedure is widely used to investigate recollection and familiarity in recognition memory, but almost all of the results obtained with that procedure can be readily accommodated by a unidimensional model based on signal-detection theory. The unidimensional model holds that remember judgments reflect strong memories (associated with high confidence, high accuracy, and fast rea...

A main task in agriculture production is field management of water and fertilizer. Excessive fertilizer and water application not only waste resource but also pollute the environment. The traditional principle of digital agriculture can only apply in flat or plain place where a large field usually should be partitioned evenly into many little grids and thus decisions on grid-specific agronomic ...

Fertilizer application control in reason is the key technology to improve operation quality, reduce fertilizer pollution, and cut down costs of production. A control system of variable rate fertilizer is developed based on microcontroller chip in the paper. The system can automatically control flow dosage by adjusting feed gate opening size and changing hydraulic motor speed of fertilizer conve...
