1. Sobre a relevância filosófica do argumento do milagre
Resumo: Neste artigo, argumentamos a favor de uma versão sofisticada do realismo científico, tendo como eixo norteador a análise do desempenho do que consideramos ser o seu elemento de defesa estratégico: o “argumento do milagre”. O realismo científico é a perspectiva comprometida com as nossas melhores teorias científicas, isto é, com a existên

2. Constant fluctuating asymmetry but not directional asymmetry along the geographic distribution of Drosophila antonietae (Diptera, Drosophilidae)
ABSTRACT The population dynamics of a species tends to change from the core to the periphery of its distribution. Therefore, one could expect peripheral populations to be subject to a higher level of stress than more central populations (the center–periphery hypothesis) and consequently should present a higher level of fluctuating asymmetry. To test these

3. Macroecology of the genus Uca (Crustacea, Decapoda): patterns of diversity, distribution and responses to global climate change / Macroecologia do gênero Uca (Crustacea, Decapoda): padrões de diversidade, distribuição e respostas às mudanças climáticas globais
Macroecology of the genus Uca (Crustacea, Decapoda): Patterns of diversity, distribution and responses to global change. The genus Uca, composed by 97 species, has a worldwide distribution on coastal marine regions, mainly in tropical environments. Many researches have used the genus Uca as a model of study, although the actual scientific knowledge about thi

4. Explicitação de antecipações de professores para formação em geometria num contexto de EAD.
Neste trabalho, buscamos investigar os efeitos de um método para a explicitação das antecipações das práticas pedagógicas de professores de matemática. Tal técnica foi aplicada com 4 professores, trabalhando em duplas. As antecipações podem ser úteis para formadores e pesquisadores no sentido de compreender melhor as metodologias e identificar el

5. Proposta para uma Métrica de Vantagem Competitiva - A Heterogeneidade da Performance, suas Causas e o Conceito de Vantagem Competitiva / A Proposal for a Metric of Competitive Advantage
The performance of the firms, contrarily to the neoclassical economic model predictions, presents great heterogeneity. The field of business strategy made a central issue understanding this heterogeneity, explaining and foreseeing it. Several currents of strategic thought present different approaches for this. A fundamental notion in this process is the conc

6. Hadron polarization in semi-inclusive reactions involving photons
A phenomenological model which has had some success in explaining polarization phenomena and left-right asymmetry in inclusive proton-proton scattering is considered for reactions involving photons. In particular, the reactions (a) gamma + p -> H + X; (b) gamma + p() ® p± + X and (c)

7. Degradation of some ceria electrolytes under hydrogen contact nearby anode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs)
This work is concerned with thermodynamic analysis of the stability of some ceria electrolytes under contact with hydrogen gas nearby anode in fuel cells. It was considered the following types of ceria-electrolytes: pure ceria, strontium-doped ceria, calcium-doped ceria and calcium-bismuth-doped ceria. The equilibrium Log (pH2O/pH2) vs. T diagrams were const

8. Inferências da lógica mental predicativa na compreensão de texto / Predicate mental logic inferences in text comprehension
The model of mental propositional logic of M.D.S. Braine, B.J. Reiser, and B.Rumain (1984) proved to be useful for explaining logical inferences during text comprehension. The use of mental predicate logic proposed by M.D.S. Braine (1998) in text comprehension has not been tested yet. The present study verified the predictions of errorless, effortless and au

10. SANDY BEACH MORPHODYNAMICS AND MACROBENTHIC COMMUNITIES IN TEMPERATE, SUBTROPICAL AND TROPICAL REGIONS - A MACROECOLOGICAL APPROACH
A comprehensive study involving 52 microtidal beaches spanning from reflective to dissipative states and located in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans was carried out to unravel the relative roles of latitude and beach morphodynamics in determining beach macrobenthic species richness, abundance, biomass and

11. Actin-Myosin Viscoelastic Flow in the Keratocyte Lamellipod
The lamellipod, the locomotory region of migratory cells, is shaped by the balance of protrusion and contraction. The latter is the result of myosin-generated centripetal flow of the viscoelastic actin network. Recently, quantitative flow data was obtained, yet there is no detailed theory explaining the flow in a realistic geometry. We introduce models of vi

12. Quantitative modeling of sensitivity in bacterial chemotaxis: The role of coupling among different chemoreceptor species
We propose a general theoretical framework for modeling receptor sensitivity in bacterial chemotaxis, taking into account receptor interactions, including those among different receptor species. We show that our model can quantitatively explain the recent in vivo measurements of receptor sensitivity at different ligand concentrations for both mutant and
