The paper presents instances of mathematical ideas interwoven in the artistic decoration of handbags, hats, mats, and other products of basketry from several regions of Mozambique. In particular, examples of female basketry from the Tonga in the Southeast and the Makwe in the extreme Northeast of the country are given and analysed. Further examples from the Makhuwa population in the Northeast a...

The high productivity stems from the annual inundation by the Mekong River of the large floodplains found in central Cambodia around the Great Lake, Tonle Sap, and the Mekong floodplains northeast and south of Phnom Penh, where important fish habitats such as flood forests are found (Figures 1.1 and 1.2 page 16). Huge seasonal migrations take place between these floodplains and spawning grounds...

This is a taxonomic work on the aspidochirotid sea cucumbers from shallow waters in Northeast Brazil. We studied 165 specimens, classified into 2 families, 3 genera, 7 subgenera and 9 species. Descriptions, illustrations and literature data are included for each species, in addition to ecological notes and information on their distribution in the northeast coast of Brazil. A taxonomic key is pr...

This study evaluated the use of outpatient services by senior citizens (N = 4,003) drawing on data from the baseline study that evaluated the Project for Expansion and Consolidation of the Family Health Strategy (PROESF) in 41 cities in South and Northeast Brazil. Use of outpatient services was greater and more appropriate to the needs of the elderly in the South than in the Northeast. Primary ...

It was proved by Rubey that the number of fillings with zeros and ones of a given moon polyomino that do not contain a northeast chain of size k depends only on the set of columns of the polyomino, but not the shape of the polyomino. Rubey’s proof is an adaption of jeu de taquin and promotion for arbitrary fillings of moon polyominoes. In this paper we present a bijective proof for this result ...

A new species of Meira Jacquelin du Val, 1852 from northeast Italy is described: Meira mariaesilvanae sp. n. This is the first discovery of the genus Meira in the northeast of Italy outside the hitherto known distribution. Ecological and distributional data are provided for the new species. Photos of habitus, some morphological details, genitalia and of the type locality illustrate the work.  I...

Thank you for your submittal, together with the other northeast states, of the Northeast Regional Mercury Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). The TMDL addresses all freshwater segments in the State of Connecticut, except for 11 segments listed in the TMDL as excluded due to the presence of local sources. The statewide application of the TMDL is based on the inclusion on Connecticut’s 2006 303(d) l...
