13. New initiatives for Brazilian aquatic plant data management
ABSTRACT Initiatives directed at managing information on aquatic plants can support different areas of scientific research, educational practices and political decisions for sustainable management and protection of wetlands and natural resources, as well as reveal knowledge gaps regarding aquatic plants and wetlands. Furthermore, such initiatives can contrib

14. Ecological capability evaluation for afforestation and forest expansion using Geographic Information System (GIS) in management area of Caspian Sea
Abstract Ecological capability evaluation is referred to as evaluation of potential capability of land and determination of its natural land use. In this paper, ecological capability of Lille Basin in Lahijan was evaluated for afforestation and forest expansion using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). For this purpose, information layers (slope, elevati

15. Content Based Geographic Image Retrieval using Local Vector Pattern
ABSTRACT Large image archives formed by satellite remote sensing missions are getting an increasing valuable source of information in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The need for retrieving a required image from a huge image database is increasing significantly for the purpose of analyzing resources in GIS. Content Based Geographic Image Retrieval (CBG

16. Distribution, ecology, and reproduction of bryophytes in a humid enclave in the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil
ABSTRACT The ready availability of water resources distinguishes the humid forest of Chapada do Araripe, Ceará State, Brazil, from the semiarid vegetation around it. The regional climate demonstrates a marked seasonality of rainfall that affects the ecological strategies of the species found there. We studied the bryophytes of the humid forest of Chapada do

17. The expression of neotectonics in the Pantanal da Nhecolândia, State of Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil
ABSTRACT Pantanal da Nhecolândia is one of the most well-preserved areas in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Located in the southern part of the Taquari River megafan, it is in tectonic contact with the fault escarpments of the Maracaju-Campo Grande plateaus to the east and with the fault escarpments of the Bodoquena plateau to the west, which continue to n

18. Angiostrongylus spp. in the Americas: geographical and chronological distribution of definitive hosts versus disease reports
BACKGROUND Angiostrongyliasis is an infection caused by nematode worms of the genus Angiostrongylus. The adult worms inhabit the pulmonary arteries, heart, bronchioles of the lung, or mesenteric arteries of the caecum of definitive host. Of a total of 23 species of Angiostrongylus cited worldwide, only nine were registered in the American Continent. Two spe

19. VARIATION OF WATER QUALITY ALONG A RIVER IN AGRICULTURAL WATERSHED WITH SUPPORT OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates using remote sensing, geographic information systems and multivariate statistics to study water quality in an agricultural watershed. The monitoring of water quality in the watershed of Lontras's river in the southwestern region of the State of Paraná had been done in 2012 and 2013 with a multi-parameter probe in ten sites t

20. A tale of two neglected tropical infections: using GIS to assess the spatial and temporal overlap of schistosomiasis and leprosy in a region of Minas Gerais, Brazil
BACKGROUND Despite public health efforts to reduce the global burden of leprosy, gaps remain in the knowledge surrounding transmission of infection. Helminth co-infections have been associated with a shift towards the lepromatous end of the disease spectrum, potentially increasing transmission in co-endemic areas. OBJECTIVES Using this biologically plaus

21. Geographic weighted regression: applicability to epidemiological studies of leprosy
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Geographic information systems (GIS) enable public health data to be analyzed in terms of geographical variability and the relationship between risk factors and diseases. This study discusses the application of the geographic weighted regression (GWR) model to health data to improve the understanding of spatially varying social and c

22. CARACTERIZACIÓN Y CUANTIFICACIÓN DE FRAGMENTOS DE BOSQUE NATIVO, EN UN SECTOR DEL SECANO INTERIOR DE LA REGIÓN DEL MAULE, CHILE
ABSTRACT In general, the Mediterranean forests have suffered high levels of fragmentation, mainly by anthropogenic action, as result of the productive activities of agriculture and livestock, human settlements and forest plantations of fast growing exotic species, leading to loss of continuity of natural forests, and thus a decrease of biodiversity. In this

23. Mudanças nos uso e preços de terras do Estado de São Paulo - período de 1995 a 2010 / Changes in land use and farmland prices in São Paulo State: from 1995 to 2010
This work has examined major changes in land occupation in different regions of São Paulo State to determine major vectors of the observed changes in farmland prices, between 1995 and 2010. This period encompasses both the period of retraction and deregulation of the sugarcane sector, after the extinction of Proálcool program, and the new stage of investme
