Molecular comparison of topotypic specimens confirms Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) ...

The presence of Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) dunhami Causey in Colombia (Department of Amazonas) is confirmed for the first time through direct comparison of mtDNA cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) barcodes and nuclear rDNA second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) sequences with topotypic specimens of An. dunhami from Tefé, Brazil. An. dunhami was identified through retrospective correlation of DNA sequences following...

Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies are indicators of the course, but not of...

To efficiently examine the association of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) positivity with the onset and progression of diabetes in middle-aged adults, we performed a case-cohort study representing the ~9-year experience of 10,275 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study participants, initially aged 45-64 years. Antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) were measured by radioimmunoassay in 5...

Cultivo hidropônico de alface com água salobra subterrânea e rejeito da dessali...

O Município de Ibimirim, em Pernambuco, está localizado no Semiárido e muitos de seus poços fornecem águas salobras, cujo uso tem sido evitado, em virtude de ensejar doenças humanas (como hipertensão e cálculos renais) e a redução da produtividade agrícola (com depreciação do solo). Propôs-se, no trabalho, avaliar o aproveitamento da água salobra subterrânea e do rejeito da sua dessalinização no cultivo hidropô...

Análise da precipitação mensal provável para o município de Lages, SC

Visou-se, neste trabalho, determinar a precipitação pluviométrica mensal provável para Lages, SC. A análise consistiu do ajuste da distribuição de probabilidade teórica a uma série de dados de 80 anos de precipitação pluviométrica mensal. Em todos os meses a distribuição gama ajustou-se aos dados observados (p < 0,05). Para a estimação dos parâmetros &#945; e &#946; da referida distribuição utilizaram-se o méto...

Drought-induced photosynthetic inhibition and autumn recovery in two Mediterran...

Responses of leaf water relations and photosynthesis to summer drought and autumn rewetting were studied in two evergreen Mediterranean oak species, Quercus ilex spp. rotundifolia and Quercus suber. The predawn leaf water potential (ΨlPD), stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthetic rate (A) at ambient conditions were measured seasonally over a 3-year period. We also measured the photosynthetic response to lig...

A tree-based approach for modelling interception loss from evergreen oak medite...

Evaporation of rainfall intercepted by tree canopies is usually an important part of the overall water balance of forested catchments and there have been many studies dedicated to measuring and modelling rainfall interception loss. These studies have mainly been conducted in dense forests; there have been few studies on the very sparse forests which are common in dry and semi-arid areas. Water resources are sca...

Toxoplasma gondii: 1908-2008, homage to Nicolle, Manceaux and Splendore

The discovery of Toxoplasma gondii independently by Nicolle and Manceaux (1908) and Splendore (1908) was to open a "Pandora's Box" that has led research on this parasite into a number of scientific disciplines. In the 100 years since its discovery, the mystery surrounding T. gondii and its inter-relationship with humans has continued to provide a stimulating source of material in many areas of research, resulti...

Modelling interception loss from evergreen oak Mediterranean savannas: applicat...

In a previous study, it was shown that an isolated, fully saturated tree-crown behaves like a wet bulb, allowing evaporation of intercepted rainfall to be estimated by a simple diffusion equation for water vapour. This observation was taken as the basis for a new approach in modelling interception loss fromsavanna-type woodland, whereby the ecosystem evaporation is derived by scaling up the evaporation from ind...

Synthesis of Fe/Ti oxides from a single source alkoxide precursor under inert a...

The heterometal alkoxide [FeClTi2(OPr i)9] (1) was employed as a single source precursor for the preparation of Fe/Ti oxides under inert atmosphere. Three different synthetic procedures were adopted in the processing of 1, either employing aqueous HNO3 or HCl solutions, or in the absence of mineral acids. Products were characterised by powder X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy combined with ener...
