Deposition of ITO thin films onto PMMA substrates for waveguide based biosensin...

Biosensors’ research filed has clearly been changing towards the production of multifunctional and innovative design concepts to address the needs related with sensitivity and selectivity of the devices. More recently, waveguide biosensors, that do not require any label procedure to detect biomolecules adsorbed on its surface, have been pointed out as one of the most promising technologies for the production of...

Learning to repair plans and schedules using a relational (deictic) representation

Unplanned and abnormal events may have a significant impact on the feasibility of plans and schedules which requires to repair them 'on-the-fly' to guarantee due date compliance of orders-in-progress and negotiating delivery conditions for new orders. In this work, a repair-based rescheduling approach based on the integration of intensive simulations with logical and relational reinforcement learning is propose...

Necessidades e comportamento informacional: conceituação e modelos

A necessidade informacional pode ser entendida como uma experiência subjetiva que ocorre na mente de cada indivíduo em determinada circunstância ou como condição objetiva observável quando uma informação específica contribui para atender ao motivo que a gerou. Comportamento informacional, por em contrapartida, está relacionado à busca, ao uso e ao manejo de informações e fontes para satisfazer aquelas necessida...

Histomorphometric analysis of the response of rat skeletal muscle to swimming, ...

The objective of the present study was to determine to what extent, if any, swimming training applied before immobilization in a cast interferes with the rehabilitation process in rat muscles. Female Wistar rats, mean weight 260.52 ± 16.26 g, were divided into 4 groups of 6 rats each: control, 6 weeks under baseline conditions; trained, swimming training for 6 weeks; trained-immobilized, swimming training for 6...

c-Myc protein expression is not an independent prognostic predictor in cervical...

The c-myc protein is known to regulate the cell cycle, and its down-regulation can lead to cell death by apoptosis. The role of c-myc protein as an independent prognostic determinant in cervical cancer is controversial. In the present study, a cohort of 220 Brazilian women (mean age 53.4 years) with FIGO stage I, II and III (21, 28 and 51%, respectively) cervical squamous cell carcinomas was analyzed for c-myc ...

Adult and nymphs of Microtriatoma trinidadensis (Lent, 1951) (Hemiptera: Reduvi...

This is the first report of adult and nymphs (20 nymphs of all stages and 4 adults) of Microtriatoma trinidadensis (Lent 1951) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) collected in peridomestic environment, in the department of La Paz, Bolivia. These specimens were associated to Rhodnius stali Lent, Jurberg & Galvão 1993. The exceptional finding of M. trinidadensis in peridomestic environment, illustrates the g...

Quantitative phenetics and taxonomy of some phlebotomine taxa

Elucidating the evolution of Phlebotominae is important not only to revise their taxonomy, but also to help understand the origin of the genus Leishmania and its relationship with humans. Our study is a phenetic portrayal of this history based on the genetic relationships among some New Word and Old Word taxa. We used both multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and morphometry on 24 male specimens of the Old Word ge...

Quantitative morphological evidence for incipient species within Lutzomyia quin...

Morphological variation among geographic populations of the New World sand fly Lutzomyia quinquefer (Diptera, Phlebotominae) was analyzed and patterns detected that are probably associated with species emergence. This was achieved by examining the relationships of size and shape components of morphological attributes, and their correlation with geographic parameters. Quantitative and qualitative morphological c...
