Pollution and climate change are among the main threats to the biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems in the 21st century. We experimentally tested the effects of microplastic and climate change (i.e., increase in temperature and CO2) on the survival and consumption by an Amazonian-stream shredder invertebrate. We tested three hypotheses. (1) Increased microplastic concentrations and climate change reduce shredder survival. We assumed that the combined stressors would increase toxic stress. (2) Increased ...

Anacroneuria singularis is newly reported from the northern Brazilian state of Rondônia in the western Amazonia. Records for this species are also reported for the central-western and southeastern regions of Brazil. Knowledge of the distribution of a species is fundamental for allowing better conservation planning, especially the identification of nymphs which can be used to evaluate water quality of Amazonian streams.

The effects of maternal moderate–low physical training on postnatal development, glucose homeostasis and leptin concentration in adult offspring subjected to a low-protein diet during the perinatal period were investigated. Male Wistar rats (aged 150 d old) were divided into four groups according to maternal group: untrained (NT p , n 8); trained (T p , n 8); untrained with a low-protein diet (NT+LP p , n 8); trained with a low-protein diet (T+LP p , n 8). The trained mothers were subjected to a protocol of ...

The Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a recent approach to the swarm intelligence field that can be explored in many global optimization applications. This paper proposes a new mechanism to tune the control parameters that influence the hunting process in the WOA to improve its convergence rate. This schema adjustment is made by a fuzzy inference system that uses the normalized fitness value of each whale and the hunting mechanism control parameters of WOA. The method proposed was tested and ...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is sexually transmitted and causes persistent infection. This virus induces activation of the immune system and production of inflammatory cytokines. This study aimed to assess the cytokine profile and cytopathological findings in the cervicovaginal fluid of asymptomatic HTLV-1-infected women. HTLV-1-infected and uninfected women were selected at the Centro de Atendimento ao Portador de HTLV in Salvador-Brazil. None of the included HTLV-1-infected women ...

Weightless Neural Networks (WNNs) are Artificial Neural Networks based on RAM memory broadly explored as solution for pattern recognition applications. Memory-oriented solutions for pattern recognition are typically very simple, and can be easily implemented in hardware and software. Nonetheless, the straightforward implementation of a WNN requires a large amount of memory resources making its adoption impracticable on memory constrained systems. In this paper, we establish a foundational relationship ...

Anthracnose, caused by fungi of the genus Colletotrichum, is present in the main areas where rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) are planted. Thus, considering that biological agents can be an alternative for disease control, the present study aimed to carry out initial studies to investigate the response of rubber tree seedlings inoculated with Colletotrichum and treated with saprobes fungi from the semiarid region of Northeast Brazil (Curvularia eragrostidis, Memnoniella levispora, Myrothecium roridum ...

The consumption of ecstasy has increased in recent years due to the psychostimulating effects of MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), its main active ingredient. With that, there is a great concern on the part of the authorities, mainly for the control of drivers who drive under the influence of drugs. The verification of the drug use is usually made by the presence of its metabolites in blood or urine, but alternative matrices such as oral fluid, sweat and hair have been investigated over past ...

The original description does not contain a designation of type specimens or locality, and it just states that the type series was studied in order to perform the cladistic analysis. In this context, we herein designate the lectotype and paralectotypes of B. atawallpa and describe its nymphal stage. The nymphs were associated to B. atawallpa by the male genitalia extracted from mature nymphs. The nymphal stage ...

Roadkill is a serious threat to biodiversity conservation especially when roads are near natural habitats of wildlife, such as the Emas National Park (ENP), a Protected Area in Mid-west Brazil in the Cerrado Biome. We aimed to identify the species killed on a stretch of the GO-341 highway that is tangent to the ENP. We investigated if roadkills were influenced by seasonality, sugar cane harvest and by the activity pattern of the animals (diurnal/nocturnal). We also analyzed if roadkills were aggregated ...

Okra is a vegetable that stands out agronomically due to its fast vegetative cycle, of high yield, besides presenting considerable nutritional value. Due to its composition and to be consumed still green, its useful life is quite short, requiring some conservation process to maintain acceptability. In this sense, the objective was to dry the okra in slices, approximately 2 mm thick, at temperatures of 50, 60, 70 and 80 ° C, adjust mathematical models to the experimental data and determine the diffusion ...
