Three new phenolics (kaempferol, apigenin, and p -coumaric) were recognized in FCS using HPLC analysis. The activities of all the extracted phenolic-associated enzymes showed strong correlations with the phenolic content of FCS. Against some human-pathogenic bacteria, FCS extract displayed considerably better antibacterial activity than UFCS extract. Finally, the phenolic-rich-FCS can be ...

We present a geochemical record of a 113.6-cm sediment core (LPT V) from Lagoa da Pata, which is located in the forested upper Rio Negro basin. The record reveals significant changes in the environmental history of Amazonia during the late Quaternary. The results of biogeochemical analyses revealed three hydrological and climatic regimes from 50,000 to 10,000 cal yr BP. The first phase, between 50,000 and 26,300 cal yr BP, was characterized by a relatively wet climate as suggested by relatively high ...

This study presents the analysis, design and experimental evaluation of a high-voltage gain dc–dc converter applied to photovoltaic (PV) systems. A PV module rated at 17 V is connected to the input side, whereas the converter is responsible for stepping the voltage up to 311 V with the achievement of maximum power point tracking (MPPT). An experimental prototype rated at 100 W is implemented, which does not employ electrolytic capacitors, thus increasing the useful life of the arrangement and also ...

Previous studies had demonstrated that alginates from Sargassum sp. (Phaeophyta) showed a considerable activity against various murine tumors. The aim present study is to investigate the in vivo antitumor activity of two alginates (SVHV and SVLV) with different viscosity extracted from brown seaweed Sargassum vulgare C. Agardh against Sarcoma 180 cells transplanted in mice. Both alginates inhibited growth of sarcoma 180. The oral route of administration was more effective for both alginates, leading ...

Some marine animals have a dynamic mutualistic association involving heterotrophic coral animals (hosts) and autotrophic dinoflagellate endosymbionts in the genus Symbiodinium, known as zooxanthellae, which are directly involved in their physiology. Currently, there is limited knowledge of the Symbiodinium diversity associated with zoanthids from the Brazilian coast. Hence, this study assessed the diversity of zooxanthellae associated with Palythoa caribaeorum, Zoanthus sociatus and Protopalythoa ...

The Brown Vine snake, Oxybelis aeneus (Wagler, 1824), is widely distributed from the United States to Argentina. 113 specimens encountered in the field and 39 individuals from scientific collections were analyzed and we determined patterns of diet, habitat use, and daily and seasonal activity. Oxybelis aeneus can be found to be active year round, especially during the dry and warmer months. Daily temperature poorly describes its activity as it seems to be more active around 31 to 35°C. During the ...

The Brazilian Cerrado is the most species-rich tropical savanna in the world. Within this biome, the Campos Rupestres ('rocky savannas') constitute a poorly studied and highly threatened ecosystem. To better understand how plants characteristic of this vegetation have evolved and come to occupy the now widely-separated patches of rocky formations in eastern Brazil, we reconstruct the biogeographical history of the rare orchid genus Hoffmannseggella. We apply parsimony and Bayesian methods to infer ...

Imaging genetics studies involving participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) have expanded. Nevertheless, findings have been inconsistent. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of imaging genetics studies that enrolled MDD participants across major databases through June 30th, 2017. Sixty-five studies met eligibility criteria (N = 4034 MDD participants and 3293 controls), and there was substantial between-study variability in the methodological quality of included studies. ...

Myrteae (c. 2500 species; 51 genera) is the largest tribe of Myrtaceae and an ecologically important groups of angiosperms in the Neotropics. Systematic relationships in Myrteae are complex, hindering conservation initiatives and jeopardizing evolutionary modelling. A well-supported and robust phylogenetic hypothesis was here targeted towards a comprehensive understanding of the relationships within the tribe. The resultant topology was used as a base for key evolutionary analyses such as age estimation, ...

Abstract Background The highest prevalence of protein‐energy undernutrition is observed during early childhood, being also a time in which the presence of dental caries can be unusually aggressive. The present study aimed to verify if different levels of undernutrition could influence the risk of early childhood caries ( ECC ), in the presence of other predisposing factors. Methods One hundred and twenty undernourished 12–70 month old children, with or without ECC , were selected. Undernourished children ...

Frutalin (FTL) is a multiple-binding lectin belonging to the jacalin-related lectin (JRL) family and derived from Artocarpus incisa (breadfruit) seeds. This lectin specifically recognizes and binds α-d-galactose. FTL has been successfully used in immunobiological research for the recognition of cancer-associated oligosaccharides. However, the molecular bases by which FTL promotes these specific activities remain poorly understood. Here, we report the whole 3D structure of FTL for the first time, as ...
