DNA based methods have been widely used to study the complexity of the rumen microbiota, and it is well known that the method of DNA extraction is a critical step in enabling accurate assessment of this complexity.Rumen fluid (RF) and fibrous content (FC) fractions differ substantially in terms of their physical nature and associated microorganisms
SCALE EFFICIENCY IN TAMBAQUI FARMING IN EARTH PONDS IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF MANAUS-AM
This study aimed at determining the scale efficiency in tambaqui production in earth ponds developed in the metropolitan region of Manaus-AM.Eleven fish farms were analyzed and were sampled data regarding its characteristics, productive data, disbursement, infrastructure value and production value, in order to calculate the total operational cost a
A New Implementation of Frequency Selective Surface Cloak for Cylindrical Structures
The main purpose of this paper is to design, implement and measure a new sample of mantle cloak.A new method called mantle cloak is introduced by cloaking an object by a single, conformal meta-surface which can drastically suppress the scattering of the desired object.In this paper, a 5 Piece Dining Set grid lattice is placed around a dielectric ob
Fiddler on the tree--a bush-cricket species with unusual stridulatory organs and song.
Insects of the order Orthoptera are well-known for their acoustic communication.The structures used for this purpose show a high diversity which obviously relates to differences in song parameters and to the physics of sound production.Here we describe song and morphology of the sound producing organs of a tropical bush-cricket, Hair Oil Ectomopter
Genome analysis of cytochrome P450s and their expression profiles in insecticide resistant mosquitoes, Culex quinquefasciatus.
Here we report a study of the 204 P450 genes in the whole genome sequence of larvae and adult Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes.The expression profiles of the P450 genes were compared for susceptible (S-Lab) and resistant mosquito populations, two different field populations of mosquitoes (HAmCq and MAmCq), and field parental mosquitoes Storage Cab
