iii) the exposure of shore zone resources to the oil, and so accelerates ecological and socio-economic recovery. The concept of an SRP as an integrated "single point of contact" for all shoreline-related issues and activities is likely to become more significant as IMS models evolve with potentially fewer people in a more decentralized Command Post and with a greater number of IMS planners, managers, and decision-makers participating from remote locations and/or in a virtual environment.Several ethnobotanical studies have attempted to understand the criteria for the differential use of plant resources. However, we need more effort to understand the interaction between local uses how using a species for a given purpose may affect its use for another purpose. Thus, we hypothesize that high importance species in a more specialized category of use may have their use reduced for other categories with a more generalist nature. We have conducted the study in three rural communities in northeastern Brazil, set in seasonally dry tropical forest areas. We applied the free-list technique to identify woody species used for medicinal and/or wood purposes (fuelwood, construction and technology). Respondents rated the species according to their efficiency for wood purposes and their local availability. We performed a multiple regression to assess the effects of medicinal popularity, perceived availability, and perceived efficiency for wood uses over the species popularity for wood uses. Our results showed that medicinal use has a significant protective effect against wood uses. Perceived availability and efficiency were significant explanatory variables for wood use. Maintaining the medicinal importance of certain species can be a powerful tool in protecting their populations against more harmful uses.Absence of insight owing to impaired self-reflection and lack of touch with reality is a hallmark of schizophrenia. Functional imaging studies in healthy individuals have implicated the frontal pole (FP), sub-division of the prefrontal cortex in self-reflective processes. Despite the significance of self-referential processing in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, the relationship between FP volume and cognitive insight in this disorder is underexplored. We examined the relationship between cognitive insight and volume of FP using precise manual morphometry of high resolution magnetic resonance images in 19 schizophrenia patients (SCZ) and 21 healthy-volunteers (HV). The manual morphometry technique was replicated from a previous study based on a cytoarchitectonically and functionally valid definition of FP and cognitive insight was measured using Beck's cognitive insight scale. Left frontal pole volume was a significant predictor of self-reflection sub-score of Beck's cognitive insight scale (β=0.68; t = 2.86; p = 0.01). A significant inverse relationship between age and bilateral FP volumes was noted in HV (left FP - r=-0.45; p = 0.04; right FP - r=-0.57; p = 0.008) but not in SCZ (p>0.05). Our findings provide anatomical substrates to devise intervention strategies targeting cognitive insight, thereby improving treatment adherence and functional outcomes.Rooster semen cryopreservation is a useful method to utilize semen samples for artificial insemination in commercial flocks, but with use of the freezing-thawing process there is a reduction in the quality and fertilization capacity of rooster spermatozoa post-thawing. The aim of the current study was to investigate the efficacy of the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito-TEMPO on rooster sperm quality and fertilization capacity after conducting the freezing-thawing processes. Semen samples were diluted and there were five equal aliquots supplemented with 0, 0.5, 5, 50 and 500 μM Mito-TEMPO. Semen samples were subsequently cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. After thawing, sperm motility, lipid peroxidation, membrane functionality, normal morphology, mitochondria active potential, acrosome integrity, viability, apoptotic-like changes, DNA fragmentation, hydrogen peroxide concentration and fertilizing capacity were evaluated. Supplementation of Lake medium with 5 and 50 μM Mito-TEMPO resulted in greater (P ≤ 0.05) total sperm motility, progressive motility, average path velocity, membrane functionality, mitochondria active potential, acrosome integrity and viability compared with semen of the other groups. Lipid peroxidation, late apoptotic-like changes, DNA fragmentation and hydrogen peroxide content, however, were less (P ≤0.05) in semen samples supplemented with 5 and 50 μM Mito-TEMPO compared to other groups. Furthermore, fertility percentages were greater when there was supplementation with 5 and 50 μM Mito-TEMPO compared to the control group. Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito-TEMPO could be included in semen extender before cryopreservation to improve quality and fertilization capacity of rooster semen after thawing of cryopreserved samples.Low-weight components of coal macromolecule were subjected to pyrolysis and condensation when magmatic rock intruded into coal measure, eventually, the residual condensed aromatic components can transform into microcrystalline graphite (coaly graphite). HIF modulator To study the structural transformation from anthracite to natural coaly graphite, ten samples with different graphitization degrees from Xinhua and Lutang of Hunan Province, China were characterized by organic geochemical analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The geochemical parameters (proximate and ultimate analyses) and structural features (XRD, Raman, and HRTEM) of the series naturally graphitized coals exhibit a progressive change as the samples' locations closing to the intrusion. The series naturally graphitized coal samples were classified into four categories, including anthracite, meta-anthracite, semi-graphite, and coaly graphite. But, single parameter cannot classify the series metamorphosed coals well, multi parameters including ash free-basis volatile matter, petrographic features, and carbon structural parameters (based on XRD and Raman spectroscopy) should be considered, additionally, the lattice fringe change observed under HRTEM from anthracite to coaly graphite can verify for the classification. The relatively lower metamorphic grade samples (anthracite and meta-anthracite) have small crystalline sizes, prominent disorders, and amorphous carbon structure, whereas the crystallite structure of highest grade samples (coaly graphite) is three-dimensional crystalline order (testified by XRD and HRTEM), indicating a totally structural transformation from amorphous carbon of anthracite to highly ordered crystalline carbon of coaly graphite in the course of natural graphitization. The carbon structural evolution of coal under natural graphitization process will probably be helpful for synthetic graphite using coal to replace the expensive petroleum coke in the future.
