Representatividad geogr\ue1fica y ambiental del inventario de especies arbustivas en el \uc1rea de Protecci\uf3n de Recursos Naturales "Cuenca Alimentadora del Distrito Nacional de Riego 004 Don Mart\uedn", Coahuila, M\ue9xico

ResumenSe analizó la representatividad del inventario de plantas arbustivas de un área natural protegida de Coahuila, México, con los siguientes objetivos: describir los tipos de sesgos de muestreo; definir la heterogeneidad ambiental de la reserva captada en las recolectas botánicas, y determinar el nivel de resolución espacial que respalda la información recolectada. Los sesgos fueron significativos (por distancia a carreteras, χ2=199.01; p<0.01; por rango altitudinal, χ2=391.02; p<0.01, y por tipo de vegetación, χ2=518.13; p<0.01). La muestra del inventario exhibe diferencias significativas entre el grupo testigo y un diseño aleatorizado para 5 variables bioclimáticas (temperatura media anual [Bio1]: U=117,900; p<0.01; isotermalidad [Bio3]: U=189,650; p<0.01; precipitación del mes más húmedo [Bio13]: U=134,330; p<0.01; estacionalidad de la precipitación [Bio15]: U=175,720; p<0.01 y la precipitación del trimestre más frío [Bio19]: U=146,550; p<0.01). Respecto a las variables ambientales y distancias a carreteras, el cubrimiento de esta infraestructura dentro del área puede contribuir a una buena caracterización del área natural protegida. La información proveniente de las recolectas realizadas es adecuada para escalas pequeñas de análisis (1 y 0.5°).AbstractThe representativeness of the inventory of shrub species of a natural protected area in Coahuila, Mexico was analyzed, with the following objectives: to describe the types of sampling bias; to define the environmental heterogeneity of the botanical records; to determine the level of spatial resolution that supports the information collected. Biases were significant (χ2=distance road 199.01; p<0.01, by altitudinal range χ2=391.02; p<0.01 and vegetation χ2=518.13; p<0.01). The inventory sample exhibits significant differences between the control group and a randomized design for 5 bioclimatic variables (mean annual temperature (Bio1): U=117,900; p<0.01; isothermality (Bio3): U=189.650, p<0.01; precipitation wettest month (Bio13): U=134.330, p<0.01; seasonality of precipitation (Bio15): U=175.720, p<0.01 and precipitation of the coldest quarter (Bio19): U=146.550, p<0.01). Environmental variables and road distances, on the coverage of this infrastructure in the area, can contribute to a good characterization of the ANP. The information from collected records is adequate for small scales of analysis (1 and 0.5°)

The management of acute venous thromboembolism in clinical practice - study rationale and protocol of the European PREFER in VTE Registry

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major health problem, with over one million events every year in Europe. However, there is a paucity of data on the current management in real life, including factors influencing treatment pathways, patient satisfaction, quality of life (QoL), and utilization of health care resources and the corresponding costs. The PREFER in VTE registry has been designed to address this and to understand medical care and needs as well as potential gaps for improvement. Methods/design: The PREFER in VTE registry was a prospective, observational, multicenter study conducted in seven European countries including Austria, France Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK to assess the characteristics and the management of patients with VTE, the use of health care resources, and to provide data to estimate the costs for 12 months treatment following a first-time and/or recurrent VTE diagnosed in hospitals or specialized or primary care centers. In addition, existing anticoagulant treatment patterns, patient pathways, clinical outcomes, treatment satisfaction, and health related QoL were documented. The centers were chosen to reflect the care environment in which patients with VTE are managed in each of the participating countries. Patients were eligible to be enrolled into the registry if they were at least 18 years old, had a symptomatic, objectively confirmed first time or recurrent acute VTE defined as either distal or proximal deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or both. After the baseline visit at the time of the acute VTE event, further follow-up documentations occurred at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Follow-up data was collected by either routinely scheduled visits or by telephone calls. Results: Overall, 381 centers participated, which enrolled 3,545 patients during an observational period of 1 year. Conclusion: The PREFER in VTE registry will provide valuable insights into the characteristics of patients with VTE and their acute and mid-term management, as well as into drug utilization and the use of health care resources in acute first-time and/or recurrent VTE across Europe in clinical practice. Trial registration: Registered in DRKS register, ID number: DRKS0000479

Measurements of the Total and Differential Higgs Boson Production Cross Sections Combining the H??????? and H???ZZ*???4??? Decay Channels at s\sqrt{s}=8??????TeV with the ATLAS Detector

Measurements of the total and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production are performed using 20.3~fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Cross sections are obtained from measured $H \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ and $H \rightarrow ZZ ^{*}\rightarrow 4\ell$ event yields, which are combined accounting for detector efficiencies, fiducial acceptances and branching fractions. Differential cross sections are reported as a function of Higgs boson transverse momentum, Higgs boson rapidity, number of jets in the event, and transverse momentum of the leading jet. The total production cross section is determined to be $\sigma_{pp \to H} = 33.0 \pm 5.3 \, ({\rm stat}) \pm 1.6 \, ({\rm sys}) \mathrm{pb}$. The measurements are compared to state-of-the-art predictions.Measurements of the total and differential cross sections of Higgs boson production are performed using 20.3  fb-1 of pp collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of s=8  TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector.
