The Mexican shrimp fishery comprises a sequential fishery: an inshore fleet (IF) using cast nets and targeting juvenile shrimps; and the offshore fleet (OF) using trawler boats targeting adult shrimps. The main target species are brown, blue and white shrimps. Conventional aged-structured models are used to advice management of this fishery...

The height of an algebraic number A is a measure of how arithmetically complicated A is. We say A is totally p-adic if the minimal polynomial of A splits completely over the field of p-adic numbers. In this paper, we investigate what can be said about the smallest nonzero height...
This dissertation is a memoria histórica of the Guatemalan Civil War that centers queer and trans Maya people in its imaginings.

meadow grass (5.2% CP), no supplement (MNS); 2) meadow grass plus high quality

Detection of both biological and chemical environmental toxicants is essential in the assessment of risk to human health. Cell-based biosensors are capable of activity- based detection of toxicity. Chromatophore cells, responsible for the pigmentation of poikilothermic animal, have shown immense potential as cell-based biosensors in the detection of a broad...
