Os insetos podem ser de grande utilidade no auxílio de elucidações de crimes. Estudos de entomologia forense ainda estão restritos a poucas localidades no Brasil e são escassos na vegetação de cerrado. Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar as principais espécies de Diptera associadas ao processo de decomposição de carcaças de suínos Sus scrofa e o padrão de sucessão de insetos nesse tipo de substrato. Foram realizados dois experimentos nos períodos seco e úmido do ano em duas áreas de cerrado ...

Forensic Entomology research has been concentrated in only a few localities of the "Cerrado" vegetation, the Brazilian Savannah. The present study had, as its objective, an examination of the diversity of arthropod fauna associated with the carcasses of Sus scrofa (Linnaeus) in this biome. The study was conducted during the dry and humid periods in two Cerrado vegetation profiles of the State of Minas Gerais. The decaying process was slower and greater quantities of arthropods were collected during ...

A variant of a yeast strain identified as Candida famata isolated from gold mine effluent was able to grow on acetonitrile, acrylonitrile, butyronitrile, isobutyronitrile, methacrylnitrile, propionitrile, succinonitrile, valeronitrile, acetamide, isobutyamide, and succinamide as sole nitrogen source, after acclimatization. The yeast grew on acetonitrile and acetamide at concentrations up to 4%. The utilisation of acetonitrile and acetamide by the C. famata strain probably involves hydrolysis in ...

Numerous strains of an unusual asexual yeast species were isolated from flowers of morning glory (Ipomoea spp., Convolvulaceae) and associated drosophilids and sap beetles of the genus Conotelus sampled in Hawaii and in Brazil. The nutritional profile of this yeast is similar to those of Metschnikowia hawaiiensis and Metschnikowia continentalis, which share the same habitats. The cells are large, hydrophobic, and tend to remain attached after budding, causing the colonies on agar media to have a ...

Several strains of the new yeast species Candida batistae have been isolated from larval provisions, larvae, and pupae of the solitary bees Diadasina distincta and Ptilotrix plumata (Apidae) in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Candida batistae was the predominant species in the yeast community associated with this habitat, where it often co-occurred with a yeast form of Mucor sp. It is thought that these two organisms play a role in the maturation of beebread. The new asexual ascomycetous yeast is related to ...

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly infectious disease that affects cloven-hoofed livestock and wildlife. FMD has been a problem for decades, which has led to various measures to control, eradicate and prevent FMD by National Veterinary Services worldwide. Currently, the identification of areas that are at risk of FMD virus incursion and spread is a priority for FMD target surveillance after FMD is eradicated from a given country or region. In our study, a knowledge-driven spatial model was ...

Stingless bees (Meliponini) are a monophyletic group of eusocial insects inhabiting tropical and subtropical regions. These insects represent the most abundant and diversified group of corbiculate bees. Meliponini mostly rely on fermentation by symbiont microbes to preserve honey and transform pollen in stored food. Bee nests harbor diverse microbiota that includes bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, and viruses. These microorganisms may interact with the bees through symbiotic relationships, or ...

Magnetic cooling has been researched as an alternative near room-temperature refrigeration technology for the past two decades. However, one of its greatest limitations is the lack of materials which can be properly shaped for optimal thermal-hydraulic performance while maintaining a substantial magnetocaloric effect at moderate fields (i.e., between 1 and 2 T) and remaining mechanically (and chemically) stable. In this paper, we thoroughly characterized a commercially accessible La(Fe,Mn,Si)13Hy ...

The Pestivirus genus comprises species that affect animal health and productivity worldwide. Members of the Suidae family are hosts for classical swine fever virus (CSFV), an important pathogen tracked by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). However, swine are also susceptible to other pestivirus species that can result in disease or compromise CSFV detection. We searched for pestivirus infection in swine sera collected from 320 backyard pig herds in southern Brazil. We used reverse-transcription ...

Symbiotic interactions between microorganisms and social insects have been described as crucial for the maintenance of these multitrophic systems, as observed for the stingless bee Scaptotrigona depilis and the yeast Zygosaccharomyces sp. SDBC30G1. The larvae of S. depilis ingest fungal filaments of Zygosaccharomyces sp. SDBC30G1 to obtain ergosterol, which is the precursor for the biosynthesis of ecdysteroids that modulate insect metamorphosis. In this work, we find a similar insect-microbe interaction ...

In this work the fluid dynamics behavior of a draft tube continuous spouted bed with particle bottom feed was studied through experimental data of static pressure, fountain height, and fluid mass flow in the annulus, as well as using the computational fluid dynamics. Experiments using glass beads as solid phase were carried out in two different velocity inlet conditions, 20 and 22 m/s. The inlet solid mass flow rate was 0.087 kg/s for the first case and 0.097 kg/s for the second one. Static pressure ...

Population-based (PB) methods appear as competitors to the traditional Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), because they are computationally efficient in estimating a variety of reliability indices. The work reported in this paper demonstrates that EPSO variants can focus the search in the region of the state space where contributions to the formation of a reliability index ...

Using a semicylindrical spouted bed to obtain experimental data of cylindrical vessels is an old technique and it has already been widely studied by experimental procedures. In the mathematical modeling of semicylindrical spouted beds, the specularity coefficient is one of the ways of including the effect of shear stress in the solid phase promoted by the flat wall. This parameter can be included in the boundary condition of a semicylindrical spouted bed to represent this friction effect. The main ...

Intelligent Environments are expected to act proactively, anticipating the user’s needs and preferences. To do that, the environment must somehow obtain knowledge of those need and preferences, but unlike current computing systems, in Intelligent Environments, the user ideally should be released from the burden of providing information or programming any device as much as possible. Therefore, automated learning of a user’s most common behaviors becomes an important step towards allowing an environment ...

The samples were placed in a rectangular tray with 4 mm of thickness, and inserted in the discontinuous dryer, with parallel air flow at 60 °C of temperature and air speed of 1.5 m/s. The sample shrinkage occurred in the thickness, and the linear shrinkage coefficient was constant. In the model, variable moisture effective diffusivity and ...

A semiautomated gray scale-based color mapping (red, yellow, and green) of the whole plaque and of its surface was achieved. Surface was defined as the region located between the lumen (Level 0) and, respectively, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 mm. Risk index was based on a combination of degree of stenosis and the proportion ...
