Morocco as a possible domestication center for barley: biochemical and agromorphological evidence.

The distribution of genetic variants of a group of low molecular weight, chloroform-methanol soluble proteins (CM proteins), among Moroccan and non-Moroccan accessions of Hordeum spontaneum and among selections from several Moroccan landraces of H. vulgare and cultivars of the same species with widespread European origin, suggests that domestication of barley might have taken place in Morocco. An agromorphological characterization of the H. spontaneum accessions further supports this hypothesis. The possible Moroccan origin of the French cultivar Hatif de Grignon and of several Spanish 6-rowed barleys is also presented

SEOM clinical guidelines for the treatment of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) (2019)

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 15% of lung cancers. Only one-third of patients are diagnosed at limited stage. The median survival remains to be around 15-20 months without significative changes in the strategies of treatment for many years. In stage I and IIA, the standard treatment is the surgery followed by adjuvant therapy with platinum-etoposide. In stage IIB-IIIC, the recommended treatment is early concurrent chemotherapy with platinum-etoposide plus thoracic radiotherapy followed by prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients without progression. However, in the extensive stage, significant advances have been observed adding immunotherapy to platinum-etoposide chemotherapy to obtain a significant increase in overall survival, constituting the new recommended standard of care. In the second-line treatment, topotecan remains as the standard treatment. Reinduction with platinum-etoposide is the recommended regimen in patients with sensitive relapse (≥ 3 months) and new drugs such as lurbinectedin and immunotherapy are new treatment options. New biomarkers and new clinical trials designed according to the new classification of SCLC subtypes defined by distinct gene expression profiles are necessary

Preengorde de alevines de besugo (pagellus bogaraveo B.) nacidos en cautividad

Se llevó a cabo una experiencia de preengorde de besugo (Pagellus bogaraveo), para la que se utilizaron dos lotes (A y B) de alevines nacidos en cautividad. El lote A, compuesto por 800 individuos con un peso medio de 2.02 ±0.5954 g se mantuvo en condiciones de cultivo estandar (Experiencia 1 ). Con éste grupo se calculó la curva de crecimiento para ésta especie P=2,2073*eo.o2551 (R2= 0.9286), la relación talla peso P=0.019*L 3 ·1484 (R2= 0.9443) y la tasa de crecimiento diaria G= 2.65 %, para un periodo de preengorde de 100 días a partir de los aproximadamente 120 días de su nacimiento. El índice de conversión obtenido fué del 1.22 y la mortalidad 5.8%. Con el lote B, compuesto por 2000 alevines con un peso medio de 4.8±1.36g, se realizaron dos experiencias de preengorde (Experiencia 2 y 3) con una duración de 120 días a partir de los aproximadamente 135 dias de su nacimiento, modificando las condiciones estandar iniciales. En la Experiencia 2 (n= 1500) se comparó el crecimiento de los alevines sometidos a diferentes densidades de cultivo (1, 2 y 3gr/l.) y los resultados mostraron que no había diferencias significativas (P>0.005) en los pesos medios fmales alcanzados. En la Experiencia 3, los alevines (n=500) fueron sometidos a dos temperaturas diferentes ( 16± 1 oc y 19± 1 °C) y el análisis de los pesos medios finales mostró que el crecimiento de los dos grupos fué significativamente diferente (P<0.05)

Measurement of the Z boson differential cross section in transverse momentum and rapidity in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV

We present a measurement of the Z boson differential cross section in rapidity and transverse momentum using a data sample of pp collision events at a centre-of-mass energy s=8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1. The Z boson is identified via its decay to a pair of muons. The measurement provides a precision test of quantum chromodynamics over a large region of phase space. In addition, due to the small experimental uncertainties in the measurement the data has the potential to constrain the gluon parton distribution function in the kinematic regime important for Higgs boson production via gluon fusion. The results agree with the next-to-next-to-leading-order predictions computed with the fewz program. The results are also compared to the commonly used leading-order MadGraph and next-to-leading-order powheg generators. © 2015 CERN for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration

Search for neutral resonances decaying into a Z boson and a pair of b jets or τ leptons

A search is performed for a new resonance decaying into a lighter resonance and a Z boson. Two channels are studied, targeting the decay of the lighter resonance into either a pair of oppositely charged τ leptons or a bb‾ pair. The Z boson is identified via its decays to electrons or muons. The search exploits data collected by the CMS experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.8 fb −1 . No significant deviations are observed from the standard model expectation and limits are set on production cross sections and parameters of two-Higgs-doublet models
