We report on the metagenome of a deep subsurface aquifer in the Tomsk region of Russia, sampled via an oil exploration borehole drilled to a depth of 2.8 km. Methanogenic archaea were present in the water along with members of various bacterial phyla, including Firmicutes, Chloroflexi, Bacteroidetes, Ignavibacteriae, and uncultured candidate divisions.

The Atlantic forest is a terrestrial biome that extends along the Brazilian coast and has been subject of intense deforestation for decades. There are presently several efforts to try to preserve the flora and fauna of what remains from this region (e.g., Coco et al. 2014, Maciel-Silva et al. 2014, Missagia et al. 2014), but several questions on how the distinct floristic units of this biome ar...

Aflatoxins are compounds with a hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic potential that can affect either humans or animals (MOSS, 2002; SALEEMULLAH et al., 2006; D’MELLO; MACDONALD, 2002). According to an IARC estimates (INTERNATIONAL..., 2002), aflatoxins can be considered carcinogenic to humans (group I). The conditions that promote mycotoxin production are usually more restricted than tho...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained worldwide attention in recent years, particularly with the proliferation in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology which has facilitated the development of smart sensors (Akyildiz et al., 2006; Akyildiz et al., 2007; Yick et al., 2008). Target tracking in WSNs is an important problem with a large spectrum of applications (Akyildiz et al., ...

Tobacco-smoke is associated with 75-90% of LC cases and ~50% occurs in developing countries (Parkin, et al. 2005; Parkin, et al. 1994). Several studies have demonstrated that organic and inorganic compounds are related with the development of cancer, including LC (Bradley and Golden 2006; De Palma, et al. 2008; Stavrides 2006). The association between cigarette smoking and various types of resp...
