The dispersal ranges of the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) were estimated with mark-recapture collected during 1998-2000 in commercial cauliflower and broccoli crops in the northern Adelaide plains. Moths were marked with fluorescent powder and released at one or more points within the experimental fields. Recaptures of the marked moths were made with pheromone traps and yellow sticky b...

Abstract It is essential that intelligence assessment be integrated with creativity, although no instruments in Brazil do so. This research investigated the item difficulty and validity reliability of Bateria de Avaliação Intelectual e Criativa Infantil (BAICI) to address this gap. The first sample consisted 612 children (54% M) aged 7 12 years, second 377 students (56% M), some whom (N = 164) ...

Plasma macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) levels were measured by enzyme immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using horse and rabbit polyvalent antibodies raised against human M-CSF purified from urine (hM-CSF). Plasma M-CSF levels in nonpregnant female controls were 364 +/- 69 U/mL (mean +/- SD, n = 20). Pregnancy results in significant elevation of circulating M-CSF levels (541 +/- 164 U/mL,...

Since 2002, the Brazilian Ministry of Health has recommended a score system for tuberculosis diagnosis of children and adolescents that does not need bacteriological positivity, because most cases in this age group have few bacteria. An observational, transversal study was carried out at the outpatient health care service of the reference medical service in Salvador, Bahia, including 164 patien...

We examined the effects of 3 active ingredients in baits containing glucose on a behaviorally resistant (glucose-averse, T-164) strain of Blattella germanica L. Baits with glucose and hydramethylnon or chlorpyrifos killed few T-164 individuals; however, ÞpronilÐglucose baits killed 60% of the cockroaches by day 14. Although ingestion levels were low, ÞpronilÐglucose baits were consumed more tha...
