Neoniphonpencei, n. sp., is described from thirteen specimens, 132-197 mm standard length (SL) collected from mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) at Rarotonga, Cook Islands by divers using mixed-gas closed-circuit rebreathers. It differs from all other species of the genus in number of lateral line scales, scales above and below lateral line, elements of life color, and in COI and cytochrome b D...

We read with interest the paper “Evaluation of the pattern of EPIYA motifs in the Helicobacter pylori cagA gene of patients with gastritis and gastric adenocarcinoma from the Brazilian Amazon region” in the volume 2014, 2014, issue of International Journal of Bacteriology [1]. In this paper, Vilar e Silva et al. [1] presented that EPIYA-C motif in the cagA gene was found linked with the develop...

Studies that investigate and evaluate the quality, limitations and uncertainties of satellite rainfall estimates are fundamental to assure the correct and successful use of these products in applications, such as climate studies, hydrological modeling and natural hazard monitoring. Over regions of the globe that lack in situ observations, such studies are only possible through intensive field m...

We are starting a new year and some adjustments in the Brazilian Annals of Dermatology will be made to improve the dissemination of our articles. A new section (Epidemiology and Biostatistics Applied to Dermatology) will be launched regarding the epidemiological and methodological aspects of research. Our goal is to provide a discussion of conceptual elements and assist in the operationalizatio...

In this paper, after collecting the rock samples from eight mines and one high way slope, the tests for determination of dry density, Uniaxial Compressive Strength, tensile Strength (Brazilian Test), elastic modulus, Schmidt hammer rebound number have been done on samples. In addition, in order to calculating the mean size of rock grains, quartz content, hardness and abrasivity, a thin sections...

Abstract This study aimed to compare the availability of supplies and amalgam composite resin restorations among Oral Health Teams (OHT) in Brazilian regions. Secondary data were extracted from Modules I II 1st (2012) V VI 2nd (2014) 3rd cycle (2017) external evaluation National Program for Access Quality Primary Care2. The proportions between regions cycles compared using Chi-square test with ...

Morphological and morphometric analyses were conducted on the genus Paratylenchus, based on documented data in the literature and characters of Iranian populations of twelve species, including P. arculatus, P. colinus, P. conicephalus, P. coronatus, P. neoamblycephalus, P. neoprojectus, P. obtusicaudatus, P. paraperaticus, P. similis, P. straeleni, P. variabilis and P. veruculatus. Moreover, ma...

Carbon mineralization processes and their dependence on environmental conditions (e.g. through macrobenthic bioturbation) have been widely studied in temperate coastal sediments, but almost nothing is known about these processes in subtropical coastal sediments. This study investigated pathways of organic carbon mineralization and associated effects of macrobenthic bioturbation in winter and su...

Three new species of Symploce Hebard from China are described: Symploce sphaerica sp. n., Symploce paramarginata sp. n. and Symploce evidens sp. n. Two known species are redescribed and illustrated based on types. A key is given to identify all species of Symploce from mainland China.
