In a parasitic survey of the native and introduced fishes in the Zayandehrud River, 5 Myxobolus spp. were found in the gills, fins and skin of examined fish specimens. They include M. varicorhini from fin and M. samgoricus from skin of Capoeta damascina, M. musajevi from gills of Capoeta capoeta gracilis, Myxobolus cristatus from Capoeta aculeata, and M. saidovi from Alburnus sp. Data on the lo...

The algal dominated communities immediately above and below the low-water spring level on a moderately exposed Manx shore were investigated by canopy removal experiments. Fucus serratus, Laminaria digitata and L. hyperborea were removed. Competition was shown to be important in determining the zonation of L. digitata and the distribution along the wave exposure gradient of other species such as...

We determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of three evaniomorph species, Ceraphron sp. (Ceraphronoidea), Gasteruption sp. (Evanioidea), and Orthogonalys pulchella (Trigonalyoidea) as well as the nearly complete mt genome from another evaniomorph species, Megalyra sp. (Megalyroidea). Each of them possesses dramatic gene rearrangements, including protein-coding or rRNA genes. Gene inve...

In a recent paper, Valdès-Parada and Alvarez-Ramirez [Phys. Rev. E 84, 031201 (2011)] used the technique of volume averaging to derive a "frequency-dependent" dispersion tensor, D(γ)(*), the goal of which is to describe solute transport in porous media undergoing periodic processes. We describe two issues related to this dispersion tensor. First, we demonstrate that the definition of D(γ)(*) is...

Pereskia aculeata Mill., popularmente conhecida como ora-pro-nobis e “carne-de-pobre”, devido ao teor de proteína das folhas, é considerada planta alimentícia não-convencional (PANC). O trabalho teve objetivo a caracterização físico-química folhas P. avaliação da atividade antioxidante conteúdo compostos fenólicos em seu extrato. As foram liofilizadas realizada determinando umidade, proteínas, ...
