The OX513A strain of Aedes aegypti, which was developed by the British company Oxitec, expresses a self-limiting transgene that prevents larvae from developing to adulthood. In April 2014, the Brazilian National Technical Commission on Biosafety completed a risk assessment of OX513A and concluded that the strain did not present new biological risks to humans or the environment and could be released in Brazil. At that point, Brazil became the first country to approve the unconstrained release of ...

This work introduces a high-efficiency approach for face recognition applications based on features using a recent algorithm called Floor of Log (FoL). The advantage of this method is the reduction of storage and energy, maintaining accuracy. K-Nearest Neighbors and Support Vector Machine algorithm was applied to learn the better parameter of the FoL algorithm using cross-validation. Accuracy and the size after the compression process were adopted to evaluate the proposed algorithm. The FoL was tested ...

Hypertension is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, accounting for millions of deaths each year. The reduction in the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) produced by the catalysis of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is associated with higher blood pressure (BP) levels. This reduction might be because of genetic polymorphisms. This study investigated the prevalence of the eNOS gene G894T polymorphism in women from northeast Brazil and its association with hypertension.This cross- ...
