LIVE IMAGING OF DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESSES IN A LIVING MERISTEM OF DAVIDIA INVOLUCRATA (NYSSACEAE)


Dopamine modulates the rest period length without perturbation of its power law distribution in Drosophila melanogaster.

We analyzed the effects of dopamine signaling on the temporal organization of rest and activity in Drosophila melanogaster.Locomotor behaviors were recorded using a video-monitoring system, and the amounts of movements were quantified by using an image processing program.We, first, confirmed that rest bout durations followed long-tailed (i.e., powe

The Effectiveness of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Subarachnoid Pleural Fistula: A Case Report and Literature Review

Subarachnoid pleural fistula (SPF) is an aberrant communication between the pleural cavity and subarachnoid space, resulting in uncontrolled cerebrospinal fluid drainage.The negative pressure of the pleural cavity creates a continuous suctioning effect, thereby impeding the spontaneous closure of these fistulas.Dural tears or punctures in cardiotho

Feeding ecology of stream-dwelling Characidae (Osteichthyes: Characiformes) from the upper Tocantins River, Brazil

In this contribution we studied the trophic ecology of four Characidae species from the Cavalo Stream, upper Tocantins River, considering diet overlap and trophic niche breadth.The diet of the four species was composed of adult and immature insects, both autochthonous and allochthonous in origin.Autochthonous items dominated the diet of Moenkhausia
