Nesta resenha de A vista particular (2016), concentro-me na manipulação que caracteriza toda arte, para entender como o romance lida com essa questão, politizando-a.

Objective: To describe the Amyloid, Tau, Neurodegeneration (A/T/N) research framework classification in the Argentine-Alzheimer Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. Methods: 23 Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), 12 Alzhe...

This work describes a procedure for localizing orbitals based on the topological analysis of the electron localization function at correlated level. The decomposition of the overlap matrix according to the partitioning o...

The need to know the dose of X-rays to be applied to patients suffering diseases such as cancerrequires accurate and stable dosimetric devices. Currently, the use of gelatin-based dosimetershas yielded excellent results ...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze four ceramic assemblage sets and discuss the relationship between ceramic investment, environment, and strategies of mobility among Late Holocene hunter-gatherers in southern Mendo...

Coptera haywardi (Ogloblin) is a pupal endoparasitoid of tephritid flies with great potential as a biological control agent worldwide as it does not attack other Diptera. To reach its full potential, its mass rearing nee...

Background: Yerba mate (YM) drinking is associated with higher lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. We analyzed its effect on total hip BMD and reported the contribution of th...

The redistribution of high energy alpha particles due to internal kink modes is studied in plasmas with ITER-like parameters. The exact particle trajectories in the total fields, equilibrium plus perturbation, are calcul...

Disappearance of floating macrophytes was observed in two successively constructed wetlands for the treatment of wastewater that contained Zn, Ni and Cr at a tool factory in Argentina. Experimental work was developed to ...

Two new species in the South American sun-spider family Mummuciidae are herein described. Gaucha ramirezi sp. nov. is known from the Chancaní Provincial Park and Forest Reserve, Córdoba province, Argentina, and further...

The climatic variations observed in recent decades in Patagonia have affected the dynamics of the Andean forests. In this study, new and existing Austrocedrus chilensis chronologies were subjected to analysis in 28 sites...

Field measurements of the Malvinas Current (MC) velocity distribution were performed at the western slope of the Argentine Basin in the South Atlantic Ocean between 47° and 43°S including several sections across the cu...

Chagas disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is endemic in 21 Latin American countries and the southern United States and now is spreading into several other countries due to migration. Despite the e...

For large herbivores, predation-risk, habitat structure and population density are often reported as major determinants of group size variation within and between species. However, whether the underlying causes of these ...

Nitrogen availability in Buglossoides arvensis mother plants influences seed dormancy level. Abscisic acid (ABA) levels chiefly determine primary dormancy during embryo maturation and its maintenance depends on ABA/gibbe...

South American Camelids have an increasing relevance in local economies, worldwide. These animals are bred for their meat, fur and as companion and therapy animals. Thus, their sanitary status should be well-established....

Infection by Brucella species in pregnant animals and humans is associated with an increased risk of abortion, preterm birth, and transmission of the infection to the offspring. The pathogen has a marked tropism for the ...

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive disease with a survival rate of 4–6 months from diagnosis. PDAC is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world, with a mort...

In the present work, density functional theory (DFT) calculations using cluster and slab models were performed in order to study the adsorption of Al dimer on a monovacancy of graphene. With cluster models, two different...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), pristine and subjected to treatments, are comparatively characterized from N2 and Kr (77 K) adsorption measurements. The CNTs are lab-synthesized by in situ chemical vapour depositio...

River confluences are notable features in the drainage system with complex hydrodynamics, bed morphology, sediment transport, and mixing processes. Junction planform plays a pivotal role in the confluence hydrodynamics. ...
