1. Miíases Umbilicais em Bezerros Nelore Recém-Nascidos: Predisposição de Dois Cruzamentos Raciais Criados no Sistema de Manejo Voisin no Rio de Janeiro e Avaliação de Medidas Profiláticas em Criação Extensiva no Pantanal Sul-Mato-Grossense. / Umbilical Myiasis in Nelore Newborn Calves: Predisposition of Two Racial Crossings Raised in a Voisin System in Rio de Janeiro and Evaluation of Prophylactic Measures in Extensive Cattle Raising in the Pantanal Sul-Mato-Grossense.

The research was done in two distinct properties of beef cattle raising. The first part of the experiment was executed in Santo Antônio Farm, located in Miguel Pereira city, Rio de Janeiro State, with the objective of evaluating the susceptibility and the prevalence of umbilical myiasis in the newborn calves, resultant of the crossings between Brahma pure b

2. Seasonal changes in the mixed and barrier layers in the western Equatorial Atlantic

O clima está fortemente relacionado com a dinâmica da camada superficial do Atlântico tropical e com as trocas entre esta e a atmosfera, e a previsão do tempo melhorará à medida em que ganhemos um melhor entendimento dos processos que governam a distribuição relativa das propriedades termodinâmicas na coluna d'água. O presente trabalho focaliza o i

3. Florística e estrutura do componente epifítico vascular na mata da reserva da Cidade Universitária "Armando de Salles Oliveira", São Paulo, SP. / Floristics and structure of the vascular epiphytic component in the forest of the reserve of the Cidade Universitária "Armando de Salles Oliveira", São Paulo, SP.

This work assesses floristics and structure of epiphytes, here defined as vascular plants usually found living on others, without parasitizing them, during at least a part of their life cycles. The study site, the reserve of the Cidade Universitária "Armando de Salles Oliveira" (nearly 46o43’W, 23o33’S), in São Paulo-SP (Brazil), is a secondary forested

4. Long-term results after colectomy and endorectal ileal pullthrough procedure in children.

Since 1987, 67 children with ulcerative colitis, 14 with colonic polyposis, and one with Hirschsprung's disease have undergone colectomy and endorectal ileal pullthrough procedures (ERP). Seventy-six children had a lateral ileal reservoir and six had a straight pullthrough. Seventy-seven patients had a diverting ileostomy for 4 months; five polyposis patient

5. Effect of antibiotics on certain aspects of bacteriophage SP-15 development in Bacillus subtilis W23.

Bacillus subtilis W23 was infected with bacteriophage SP-15. Two waves of phage-specific RNA synthesis were observed. Wave I was prereplicative, and wave II was coincident with replication of the viral genome. To determine the temporal appearance of general classes of phage-coded messengers and proteins, we studied the dependence of lysozyme synthesis, phage

6. Cardiomyopathy Mutations Reveal Variable Region of Myosin Converter as Major Element of Cross-Bridge Compliance

The ability of myosin to generate motile forces is based on elastic distortion of a structural element of the actomyosin complex (cross-bridge) that allows strain to develop before filament sliding. Addressing the question, which part of the actomyosin complex experiences main elastic distortion, we suggested previously that the converter domain might be the

7. Effect of temperature on transport and plating media for enteric pathogens.

The effect of wide variations in incubation temperatures and long periods of incubation on transport and enrichment broths and plating media was determined by exhaustive analysis of 132 diarrheal stools for salmonellae and shigellae. Homogenized stools were streaked onto eosin methylene blue (EMB), Salmonella-Shigella (SS), and xylose lysine deoxycholate (XL
