13. Body orientation for thermoregulation and daily activity cycle of Mabuya macrorhyncha (Squamata: Scincidae)
ABSTRACT We investigated the daily activity and thermoregulatory body orientation of Mabuya macrorhyncha (Hoge, 1947), a lizard species that occurs in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. We conducted this investigation in a sandy coastal dune remnant (“restinga” ecosystem) in Grussaí, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the summer. The daily activity cyc

14. Inicios de las Boys Town en España: la Ciudad de los Muchachos de Vallecas (Madrid)
Abstract A series of educational experiences, known as The Boys Town, were set up for children and teenagers at risk of social exclusion in the United States in the early 20th century. These initiatives appeared in Spain 40 years later, under the name of Ciudades de los Muchachos . This investigation is about the pedagogical experience carried out at the Ciu

15. Avian Communities in the Amazonian Cangas Vegetation: Biogeographic Affinities, Components of Beta-Diversity and Conservation
ABSTRACT The Amazonian cangas is a vegetation type distributed as patches of open vegetation embedded in a matrix of tropical forest and that grows over iron-rich soils in the Serra dos Carajás region. To characterize cangas avifauna, we surveyed birds in eight patches varying from 43 to 1,366 hectares. Cangas avifauna has compositional affinities with sava

16. Asymmetric bioreduction of β-ketoesters derivatives by Kluyveromyces marxianus: influence of molecular structure on the conversion and enantiomeric excess
ABSTRACT This study presents the bioreduction of six β-ketoesters by whole cells of Kluyveromyces marxianus and molecular investigation of a series of 13 β-ketoesters by hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship (HQSAR) in order to relate with conversion and enantiomeric excess of β-stereogenic-hydroxyesters obtained by the same methodology.

17. EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL METHANE GENERATION IN THE INVESTIGATION OF AN ABANDONED CONTAMINATED LANDFILL IN SANTIAGO, CHILE
Abstract This study presents the environmental evaluation of an abandoned and potentially contaminated landfill using analyses for the presence of heavy metals and for methane generation potential. The site is located in the city of Santiago, Chile, and was used as a rural landfill for domestic, industrial and construction waste until 1978, but is now in a h

18. Influence of Yttrium Dopant on the Structure and Electrical Conductivity of Potassium Sodium Niobate Thin Films
KNN thin films with diverse yttrium concentration (mol % = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9) were fabricated using sol-gel spin coating technique. Doped KNN revealed that Y3+ was successfully doped into the ABO3 perovskite lattice without changing the phase formation of KNN. The thickness of the deposited layer of KNN produced with increasing dopant concentrati

19. Degradation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons by two strains of Pseudomonas
ABSTRACT The goal of this investigation was to isolate competent polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons degraders that can utilize polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons of former industrial sites at McDoel Switchyard in Bloomington, Indiana. Using conventional enrichment method based on soil slurry, we isolated, screened and purified two bacterial species strains PB1

20. Electrochemical and Quantum Chemical Investigations of the Insecticide Fipronil
This work describes an electrochemical and quantum chemical investigation of the fipronil insecticide. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) experiments were performed over a graphite-polyurethane (GPU) composite electrode. The fipronil molecule presents an one-electron irreversible oxidation reaction. Profiting the SWV signal a square wa

21. Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty for hypospadias reoperation: a review and meta-analysis
Purpose Tubularized Incised Plate (TIP) urethroplasty is a technique for urethral reconstruction of hypospadias although there are some controversies for its use in recurrent cases. The aim of this study was to review the results of TIP technique in various studies and the usage of different flaps for covering the repair site. Material and Methods Extens

22. Maintenance of the corneal epithelium is carried out by germinative cells of its basal stratum and not by presumed stem cells of the limbus
The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the proliferative behavior of rabbit corneal epithelium and establish if any particular region was preferentially involved in epithelial maintenance. [3H]-thymidine was injected intravitreally into both normal eyes and eyes with partially scraped corneal epithelium. Semithin sections of the anterior segment we

23. Esthesioneuroblastoma, Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, and Sinonasal Undifferentiated Carcinoma: Differentiation in Diagnosis and Treatment
Introduction Malignant sinonasal tumors comprise less than 1% of all neoplasms. A wide variety of tumors occurring primarily in this site can present with an undifferentiated or poorly differentiated morphology. Among them are esthesioneuroblastomas, sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas, and neuroendocrine carcinomas. Objectives We will discuss diagnos

24. The N-terminal 33 amino acid domain of Siva-1 is sufficient for nuclear localization
Siva-1 induces apoptosis in multiple pathological processes and plays an important role in the suppression of tumor metastasis, protein degradation, and other functions. Although many studies have demonstrated that Siva-1 functions in the cytoplasm, a few have found that Siva-1 can relocate to the nucleus. In this study, we found that the first 33 amino acid
