In 2010 settles in the Educational Unit of Palmeira dos Indios, Campus Arapiraca, group Tutorial Education Program – Alagoas Semiarid Studies Center (PET-Nesal), bringing together courses Psychology Social Work. The group's proposal for elaboration branches from need reflections on internalized space that UFAL began to occupy 2006, since emergencies existing semiarid region demand a contextuali...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Preferential flow features have been found to be important for runoff generation, solute transport, and slope stability in many areas around the world. Although many studies have identified the particular characteristics of individual feat...

The delivery mechanisms of labile nutrients (e.g. NO3, DON and DOC) to streams are poorly understood. Recent work has quantified the relationship between storm DOC dynamics and the connectedness of catchment units and between pre-storm wetness and transient groundwater NO3 flushing potential. While several studies have shown N and C flushing during storm events as the important mechanism in the...

We present results of the paleoparasitological analysis of Cervidae coprolites that were recovered from the archaeological site Furna do Estrago, Pernambuco, Brazil. Trichuris sp. eggs were recovered from the coprolite samples dated 1,040 ± 50 years before present. This is the first record of Trichuris sp. in semiarid Cervidae, unexpectedly recorded in archaeological material.

Microvirga vignae is a recently described species of root-nodule bacteria isolated from cowpeas grown in a Brazilian semiarid region. We report here the 6.4-Mb draft genome sequence and annotation of M. vignae type strain BR 3299. This genome information may help to understand the mechanisms underlying the ability of the organism to grow under drought and high-temperatures conditions.
