In the last years, studies on captive greater flamingos have increased. Research on zoo animals is important to improve the knowledge on these species and to improve their ex-situ and in-situ conservation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the parental behaviour of a captive colony of greater flamingo hosted at Parco Natura Viva, an Italian zoological garden, to improve the knowle...

Through a number of isolated initiatives that began in the 1960s, Brazil accumulated knowledge and experience that in the late 1990s culminated in the implementation of the first nationwide public health action meant to coordinate health bodies and personnel from the federal, state, and municipal administrative levels to address a chronic degenerative disease. The main goal of this article is t...

Telmisartan 1-O-acylglucuronide, the principal metabolite of telmisartan in humans, was characterized in terms of chemical stability and the structure of its isomerization products was elucidated. In addition, pharmacokinetics of telmisartan 1-O-acylglucuronide were assessed in rats after i.v. dosing. Similar to other acylglucuronides, telmisartan 1-O-acylglucuronide and diclofenac 1-O-acylgluc...

Description OpenMath and MathML are two ways of representing mathematical objects. Semantically, OpenMath is a superset of (content) MathML. The aim is to build a translator from OpenMath to content MathML, using presentation MathML where necessary as in the example of rank in Section 5.3 on MathML OpenMath is extensible, the translator will need to be. There is no a priori choice of implementa...

Alignment of latitude and longitude for all pixels is important for geo-stationary meteorological satellite (GSMS) images. To align landmarks and non-landmarks in the GSMS images, we propose a geometry-based global alignment method. Firstly, the Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Geography (GSHHG) database and GSMS images are expressed as feature maps by geometric coding. Acc...

Adults of the tomato stink bug, Arvelius albopunctatus (De Geer), from pasture lands at Londrina, Paraná state (latitude 23º 18' S; longitude 51º 09' W) and of Dichelops furcatus (F.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) from field crops at Cruz Alta, Rio Grande do Sul state (latitude 28º 38' S; longitude) southern Brazil were parasitized by Hexacladia smithii Ashmead , which are set as new host records...

abstractâ in this study, for spatial-temporal analyzing of cyclones in 1376, the spatial range of 30 to 80 degrees of east longitude and 0 to 80 degrees of north latitude and geo potential data with 2/ 5* 2 / 5 degrees of networking in arc levels of 1000, 925, 850, 700, 600 and 500 hpa have been used. these data are extracted for six hours (00, 06, 12, 18 zulu) database (ncep / ncar). so that, ...

The number of subduction zones that facilitated the northward translation Anatolide-Tauride continental terrane derived from Gondwana to southern margin Eurasia at longitude western Turkey is debated. We hypothesized if two north dipping incipient collision in Turkey, a late Cretaceous arc would have formed within Neotethys and along Eurasia. To determine an island we investigated sedimentary r...

Introduction: Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) is one of its most distinct and enduring features, having been continuously observed since the 1800’s. It currently spans the smallest latitude and longitude size ever recorded. Here we show analyses of 2014 Hubble spectral imaging data to study the color, structure and internal dynamics of this long-live storm. Physical Dimensions: The GRS’s red edg...
