TL;DR: In this paper, the authors expose the situation and illustrate how national policies constitute the main threat to freshwater fish biodiversity and explain that the most devastating, pervasive and systemic threats are rooted in official policies, particularly unsustainable activities (e.g., hydropower, water diversion, mining, aquaculture, agriculture and fishing), poor management/conservation, and harmful legislation.
Abstract: Neotropical freshwater fishes are the most diverse on the planet (>5,500 species), although nations in Latin America have been negligent regarding their conservation National policies have historically encouraged unsustainable practices, and recent decades have witnessed a sharp increase in harmful activities Our aim with this review was to expose this situation and illustrate how national policies constitute the main threat to freshwater fish biodiversity We explain that the most devastating, pervasive and systemic threats are rooted in official policies, particularly unsustainable activities (eg hydropower, water diversion, mining, aquaculture, agriculture and fishing), poor management/conservation (eg fish stocking and passages) and harmful legislation (eg poor licensing, non-native species) We provide a broad portrait of the Neotropical scenario, where unsustainable policies have caused considerable damage to freshwater ecosystems, and focus on major examples from Brazil, where development projects have caused large-scale losses to fish biodiversity Such modus operandi of human development is incompatible with the persistence of biodiversity, and no simple solution is available to correct or minimize its effects The current situation demands a profound behavioural shift towards better practices and policies, or these multiple high-impact activities will continue eroding freshwater fish biodiversity and impairing essential ecosystem services

01 Jan 2008TL;DR: The main results from the last twenty five years in the theory of complex vector fields have been discussed in this paper, where the Baouendi-Treves approximation theorem has been proved for many function spaces.
Abstract: Detailing the main methods in the theory of involutive systems of complex vector fields this book examines the major results from the last twenty five years in the subject. One of the key tools of the subject - the Baouendi-Treves approximation theorem - is proved for many function spaces. This in turn is applied to questions in partial differential equations and several complex variables. Many basic problems such as regularity, unique continuation and boundary behaviour of the solutions are explored. The local solvability of systems of partial differential equations is studied in some detail. The book provides a solid background for others new to the field and also contains a treatment of many recent results which will be of interest to researchers in the subject.

TL;DR: The ability of LLLT to stimulate stem cells and progenitor cells means that muscle satellite cells may respond well to L LLT and help muscle repair and the ability ofLLLTto reduce inflammation and lessen oxidative stress is also beneficial in cases of muscle fatigue and injury.
Abstract: The use of low level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) has recently expanded to cover areas of medicine that were not previously thought of as the usual applications such as wound healing and inflammatory orthopedic conditions. One of these novel application areas is LLLT for muscle fatigue and muscle injury. Since it is becom- ing agreed that mitochondria are the principal photoac- ceptors present inside cells, and it is known that muscle cells are exceptionally rich in mitochondria, this suggests that LLLT should be highly beneficial in muscle injuries. The ability of LLLT to stimulate stem cells and progenitor cells means that muscle satellite cells may respond well to LLLT and help muscle repair. Furthermore the ability of LLLT to reduce inflammation and lessen oxidative stress is also beneficial in cases of muscle fatigue and injury. This review covers the literature relating to LLLT and muscles in both preclinical animal experiments and human clini- cal studies. Athletes, people with injured muscles, and patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy may all benefit.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the development and contributions of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the determination of elements in plant materials is presented, where the solid samples are interrogated by simply focusing the laser pulses directly onto a fresh or dried surface of leaves, roots, fruits, vegetables, wood and pollen.
