Caso Márquez o red Flores Hernández de lavado de dinero

Estos días el nombre ha sido el de Raúl Flores Hernández, “El Tío”, el líder de una organización desconocida a la fecha por los ciudadanos, una organización compuesta principalmente por sus familiares, con vínculos con narcotraficantes históricos y que estaría especializada en prestanombres y en el lavado de dinero. Ese bajo perfil contrasta con el de uno de los individuos presuntamente implicados en la red ilegal, el futbolista Rafa Márquez. Vamos a intentar contextualizar los rasgos de esa organización, las circunstancias en que ha salido a la luz pública y las consecuencias que tiene ello.

Red blood cell cytoskeleton tomography data

1) WT-14_MinorClean.mat - Three-dimensional image of a red cell cytoskeleton obtained by cryoelectron tomography. Edges were removed by running the following commands in Matlab: load WT-7_MinorClean.mat; [M, N, P] = size(v); [NN, MM, PP] = meshgrid(1:N,1:M,1:P); v( MM > 790) = 0; v( PP < 12) = 0; v( PP > 70) = 0; To binarize the image, we used a threshold of -40, i.e. each voxel containing an intensity value less than -40 was considered to be a part of the cytoskeleton. 2) ActinFilamentMASKED_BIN.mat - Structure of actin protofilament from Protein Data Bank after masking and binning. 3) coordsWT-14sk.mat - Positions of actin protofilaments identified inside the tomogram after template matching.

Dataset: Acorn weight as determinant of germination in red and white oaks: evidences from a common-garden greenhouse experiment

This repository contains the files associated with the following article: Sánchez-Montes de Oca EJ, EI Badano, LE Silva-Alvarado, J Flores, F Barragán-Torres & JA Flores-Cano. Acorn weight as determinant of germination in red and white oaks: evidences from a common-garden greenhouse experiment. Annals of Forest Science, 75, article 12. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s13595-018-0693-y">https://doi.org/10.1007/s13595-018-0693-y</a> Both datasets are provided in Microsoft Excel format. The first dataset (2015 data-Relationships acorn fresh weight-germination) contains information about the phylogenetic section to which each oak species included in the study belong to, the fresh weights of acorns after they were soaked and their respective germination responses (100 acorns per oak species). These data were used to assess whether acorn weight influences germination across and within species. The second dataset (2017 data-Relationships acorn dry-fresh weights) also contains the phylogenetic section to which each oak species belongs to, indicating the dry biomass of acorns, their fresh weight after soaking, and their percent water content (100 acorns per oak species). These data were used to assess how dry biomass of acorns influences their fresh weight and percent water content after soaking.

Red Gelao (Bach Dich) audio word list

On February 4, 2014, I interviewed Lý Tớ Sải 李德才, a 45-year-old Red Gelao (va³⁵dei²¹) man in La Pao, Bạch Đích commune, Hà Giang province. Ly was illiterate, and was more fluent in Southwestern Mandarin (Yunnanese) than in Vietnamese. His speech slightly differed from that of Jerold Edmondson's Red Gelao informant.

Red Gelao (Houzitian) audio word list

On August 1, 2012, I found the last living speaker of Houzitian Red Gelao, an 88-year-old woman named Guo Yunxiu 郭云秀. She was living in Luomadong 罗马洞 (18 组), Qinglong village 青龙村, Langdai township 郎岱镇, Liuzhi Special District, Guizhou, China after she married a man from that village, but she was born in Houzitian 猴子田, Liuzhi Special District, Guizhou. Her son drove me in his minivan, and also invited me to a meal of dog meat soup. Guo reported that she had not conversed in Red Gelao with other Red Gelao speakers for about 20 years.

Red Gelao (Tianba) audio word list

In 1997, a divergent Red Gelao variety known as va³⁵ntɯ³¹ was discovered by Jerold Edmondson in Na Khê, Yên Minh District, Hà Giang Province, Vietnam. Edmondson reported that Red Gelao was still being acquired by children in the village, which exchanged brides with the other Red Gelao-speaking village of Bìch Đich (also known as Bạch Đích) in order to maintain Red Gelao culture. Even though Edmondson reported that in Vietnam, Red Gelao is spoken only in the two villages of Na Khê and Bìch Đich, my informants just across the border in Malipo County suggest that there could be more Red Gelao speakers living in the neighboring village of Mậu Long. On August 25, 2012, I found a rememberer of Red Gelao named Wang Qiongying 王琼英, a 47-year-old woman, in Tianba 田坝, Dongdu village 董渡村, Tiechang township 铁厂乡, Malipo County 麻栗坡县, Yunnan, China. Wang Qiongying was born in Hà Giang province, Vietnam, but moved to Tianba after marrying Yang Changxing 杨昌兴, an ethnic White Gelao who does not speak any Gelao. Wang gave her Red Gelao autonym as ua³⁵ntei³¹. As of 2012, Wang speaks only Southwestern Mandarin fluently, and could produce some words, phrases, and basic sentences in her native Red Gelao variety. Despite being born in Vietnam, she does not speak any Vietnamese. Wang has not conversed in Red Gelao with anyone since her move to China about 30 years ago, and does not remember many basic vocabulary items such as the colors (e.g., ‘black’, ‘white’). Wang moved to China at the age of 17 when she married Yang Changxin 杨昌兴 in Tianba 田坝. She is a rememberer of Red Gelao, and cannot say complete sentences in it. Wang has not conversed fluently in Red Gelao since she had moved to China. Neither Wang nor her husband was able to recognize the names of Na Khê and Bìch Đich. However, her husband Yang Changxing said that Wang was born in a location in Hà Giang province called “Moudan 某丹”, which I believe is most likely the village of Mậu Long, located just to the north of Na Khê in Yên Minh District, Vietnam. A visit to Mậu Long would be needed to determine if there are still any remaining Red Gelao speakers of the ua³⁵ntei³¹ variety. Unfortunately, there is no other Red Gelao speaker or rememberer in Tianba, even though Li Jinfang’s informant Yang Yucai 杨玉才 had reported that his mother was a Red Gelao from Tianba, of the autonym u³³wei⁵⁵ . Even though there were several Red Gelao households in Tianba, none of the local Red Gelao people recognized the autonym u³³wei⁵⁵. Tianba also has a few elderly fluent White Gelao speakers of the autonym te³⁵lɯ³¹ , including 78-year-old Yang Guangsheng 杨光升. Yang reported that his brother Yang Guangqing 杨光睛, residing in Fanpo 翻坡, Yangwan township 杨万乡, also speaks White Gelao fluently. Yang Guangsheng also informed me that there were more White Gelao speakers in the nearby village of Fengyan 峰岩, including Yang Guangfu 杨光甫. In the meantime, her husband and another White Gelao man were arguing about a Gelao bride who was going to be migrating to China, highlighting the tense issues that may result from cross-border migrations in the region.

Data for: Geolocation and immersion loggers reveal year-round residency and consequent nutrient deposition rates of adult red-footed boobies in the Chagos Archipelago, tropical Indian Ocean

Bio-logging has revealed much about high-latitude seabird migratory strategies, but migratory behaviour in tropical species may differ, with implications for understanding nutrient deposition. Here we use combined light-level and saltwater immersion loggers to study the year-round movement behaviour of adult red-footed boobies (Sula sula rubripes) from the Chagos Archipelago, tropical Indian Ocean to assess migratory movements and estimate nutrient deposition rates based on the number of days they spent ashore. Light levels suggest that red-footed boobies are resident in the Chagos Archipelago year-round, although there are large latitudinal errors this close to the equator. Immersion data also indicate residency with tracked birds returning to land every one or two days. Spending an average of 79.86 ± 2.80 days and 280.84 ± 2.64 nights per year on land allows us to estimate that the 21,670 pairs of red-footed boobies deposit 37.34 ± 0.56 tonnes year-1 of guano-derived nitrogen throughout the archipelago. Our findings have implications for tropical seabird conservation and phylogenetics, as well as for assessing the impact of seabird nutrients on coral reef ecosystems.

Data from: Efficient carbon recycling between calcification and photosynthesis in red coralline algae

Red coralline algae create abundant, spatially vast, reef ecosystems throughout our coastal oceans with significant ecosystem service provision, but our understanding of their basic physiology is lacking. In particular, the balance and linkages between carbon-producing and carbon-sequestering processes remain poorly constrained, with significant implications understanding their role in carbon sequestration and storage. Using a dual radioisotope tracing, we provide evidence for coupling between photosynthesis (which requires CO2) and calcification (which releases CO2) in the red coralline alga Boreolithothamnion soriferum (previously Lithothamnion soriferum) – a marine ecosystem engineer widely distributed across Atlantic mid-high latitudes. Of the sequestered HCO3-, 38±22% was deposited as carbonate skeleton whilst 39±14% was incorporated into organic matter via photosynthesis. Only 38±2% of the sequestered HCO3- was transformed into CO2, and almost 40% of that was internally recycled as photosynthetic substrate, reducing the net release of carbon to 23±3% of the total uptake. Calcification rate was strongly dependent on photosynthetic substrate production, supporting the presence of photosynthetically-enhanced calcification. The efficient carbon-recycling physiology reported here suggests that calcifying algae may not be as important in marine system CO2 release as is currently assumed, supporting a reassessment of their role in blue carbon accounting.

Data from: Phase-dependent red fox expansion into the tundra: Implications for management

Expansion of boreal species into tundra ecosystems is a consequence of climate change and human exploitation that threatens local species through increased predation, competition, and pathogen transmission. Under these circumstances, efficient control of expanding boreal species may be necessary, but the efficiency of such action depends on understanding the ecological influences of expansion. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is expanding into the tundra across the Arctic. In Scandinavia, red foxes threaten local tundra species and communities including the endangered Arctic fox (V. lagopus). The ecological dynamics in the tundra are influenced by small rodent cycles (classified into different phases based on seasonal abundance fluctuations), which can affect red fox expansion, distribution, and abundance. We used a 17-year (2004–2020) dataset from the tundra in Sweden, consisting of raw snow track data, to test how cyclic prey influenced red fox distribution and abundance, and subsequently red fox control. The winter abundance of red fox was influenced by small rodent phase, with higher abundance during high prey availability (i.e., increased number of prey numbers) with no support for a time lag between red fox and small rodent abundance. This suggests that high prey availability attracts red foxes to the tundra and that higher immigration from the boreal zone can be expected in response to increased prey abundances. There was no relationship between red fox control and small rodent availability, but control was influenced by red fox abundance during the previous year, which highlights an opportunistic control strategy. We recommend an adaptive management strategy where authorities include small rodent dynamics in the planning and execution of red fox control.

Bathymetric data from the Northern Red Sea

If you use these data, please refer to Ribot M., et al. (2024), Vertical deformation along a strike-slip plate boundary: the uplifted marine terraces of the Gulf of Aqaba and Tiran Island, at the southern end of the Dead Sea Fault, Tectonics, in press. A high-resolution bathymetric survey of the northern Red Sea, near the Strait of Tiran and Tiran Island was conducted on board the R/V Thuwal from September 3rd to September 10th, 2019. We used a Kongsberg EM710-MK2 multibeam echo sounder (operating in the 70-100 kHz range) calibrated with CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) profiles. In order to maximize the range capability and to reduce interference from multiple returns we used a transmit fan which sequentially divides the signal into three sectors with distinct transmit frequencies and waveforms. We limited the system to a swath of 2000 m (i.e. 1000 m swath on each side of the beamer) in order to ensure appropriate beam density as to grid the data in a 10 m wide pixel raster across the track. Similarly, the survey speed was kept at 5-6 kn (~10 km/h) to limit the spacing between successive survey points and to ensure that the maximum pixel width is 10 m along the track as well. Survey lines were acquired every ~1000 m in deep water and 800 m near the shore, to ensure a double coverage of each point in opposite directions. The results were imported into the commercial SiS multibeam software and used to correct the incoming multibeam data. Then, the bathymetric data were automatically screened for obvious outliers and, additionally, we manually identified and removed remaining spurious data points. From this dataset, we built a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the bathymetry by averaging raw data values to a 10 m horizontal grid. The vertical resolution of the DEM is controlled by the pulse duration of the acoustic signal. The vertical resolution (R) can be calculated following R = v⋅d/2 with v the wave propagation velocity in water and d the duration of the signal. During the data acquisition, we tuned the pulse duration at 2 ms, and calibrated the wave propagation velocity with the CTD casts with values ranging between 1535 and 1558 m/s. Thus, it implies that the vertical resolution is 1.5 m. If you use these data, please refer to Ribot M., et al. (2024), Vertical deformation along a strike-slip plate boundary: the uplifted marine terraces of the Gulf of Aqaba and Tiran Island, at the southern end of the Dead Sea Fault, Tectonics, in press.

Future sea level rise in northwest Mexico is projected to decrease the distribution and habitat quality of the endangered Calidris canutus roselaari (Red Knot)

Sea level rise (SLR) is one of the most unequivocal consequences of climate change, yet the implications for shorebirds and their coastal habitats is not well understood, especially outside of the north temperate zone. Here, we show that by the year 2050, SLR has the potential to cause significant habitat loss and reduce the quality of the remaining coastal wetlands in Northwest Mexico—one of the most important regions for Nearctic breeding migratory shorebirds. Specifically, we used species distribution modelling and a moderate SLR static inundation scenario to assess the effects of future SLR on coastal wetlands in Northwest Mexico and the potential distribution of Calidris canutus roselaari (Red Knot), a threatened long-distance migratory shorebird. Our results suggest that under a moderate SLR scenario, 55% of the current coastal wetland extent in northwest Mexico will be at risk of permanent submergence by 2050, and the high-quality habitat areas that remain will be 20% less suitable for C. c. roselaari. What is more, 8 out of the 10 wetlands currently supporting the largest numbers of C. c. roselaari are predicted to lose — on average — 17.8% of their highly suitable habitat areas, with two sites completely losing all their highly suitable habitat. In combination with increasing levels of coastal development and anthropogenic disturbance in Northwest Mexico, these predicted changes suggest that the potential future distribution of C. c. roselaari (and other shorebirds) will likely contract, exacerbating their ongoing population declines. Our results also make clear that SLR will likely have profound effects on ecosystems outside the north temperate zones, providing a clarion call to natural resource managers. Urgent action is required to begin securing sufficient space to accommodate the natural capacity of wetlands to migrate inland and implement local-scale solutions that strengthen the resilience of wetlands and human populations to SLR.
