Estudo Morfométrico do Gênero

Morphometric Study of the Genus Panstrongylus Berg, 1879 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) The subfamily Triatominae is actually represented by 137 species distributed among 6 tribes and 19 genera. Within this subfamily, the genus Panstrongylus, Berg 1879, is composed by 13 species widespread in sylvatic, peridomestic, and domestic habitats of Neotropical regions. These species are vectors o...

Biomechanical analysis of Oligochaeta crawling.

Hydrostatic skeletons, such as that of Oligochaeta and Hirudinea, allow the locomotion of animals with soft segmented bodies. In this paper crawling of Oligochaeta, and in particular that of earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris), is analyzed from a biomechanical point of view, starting from the experimental kinematic description of deformations coupled with a simple friction model. The analysis is a...

AO Revisited

This paper revisits the AO algorithm introduced by Martelli and Montanari and made popular by Nilsson The paper s main contributions are proving that the value of a node monotonically increases as the AO search progresses proving that selective updates of the value function in the AO algorithm are correct and providing guidance to researchers interested in the AO implementation and are proven u...

M\'etodos de Otimiza\c{c}\~ao Combinat\'oria Aplicados ao Problema de Compress\~ao MultiFrases

The Internet has led to a dramatic increase in the amount of available information. In this context, reading and understanding this flow of information have become costly tasks. In the last years, to assist people to understand textual data, various Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications based on Combinatorial Optimization have been devised. However, for MultiSentences Compression (MSC)...
