Effect of Abscisic Acid (ABA) Combined with Two Different Beekeeping Nutritional Strategies to Confront Overwintering: Studies on Honey Bees' Population Dynamics and Nosemosis.

In temperate climates, beekeeping operations suffer colony losses and colony depopulation of during overwintering, which are associated with biotic and abiotic stressors that impact bees' health. In this work, we evaluate the impacts of abscisic acid (ABA) dietary supplementation on honey bee colonies kept in Langstroth hives. The effects of ABA were evaluated in combination with two different beekeeping nutritional strategies to confront overwintering: "honey management" and "syrup management".

New species of Dactylogyridae Bychowsky, 1933 infecting the gills of Myloplus schomburgkii (Jardine) and Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier) in the Peruvian Amazon.

Four new dactylogyrid species are described, three species (Anacanthorus camposbacae n. sp., Anacanthorus carmenrosae n.

Origin of the accumulation layer at the InN/a-In2O3 interface.

We perform first-principles Density Functional Theory calculations for the amorphous In2O3/InN (11̅00) heterostructure. Our results suggest that the interface between InN and its native amorphous oxide is a type "I" interface as observed in X-ray photoemission spectroscopy data for the same materials in the crystalline form. The microscopic analysis of the system reveals the presence of peculiar structural features localized at the interface, such as the formation of N-O bonds and the existence of N dangling bonds, that are responsible for donor states.

Universal versus selective screening for the detection, control and prognosis of gestational diabetes mellitus in Argentina.

In all, 1,702 unselected pregnant women from the city of La Plata were tested for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and evaluated to determine GDM prevalence and risk factors. In women with GDM, we evaluated compliance with guidelines for GDM management, and perinatal complications attributable to GDM. GDM prevalence was 5.
