Cell-fate specification and cellular differentiation are tightly controlled by both positive and negative transcriptional factors during development. The Drosophila BTB/POZ (Bric-a-brac Tramtrack Broad complex/Pox virus and Zinc finger) domain-containing Tramtrack (Ttk) proteins have been previously shown to be transcriptional repressors and inhibitors of the neuronal fate of cells such as phot...

Abstract Schools in urban areas are often located with high traffic and noise pollution that affect the overall sonic quality of external spaces. Due to this, teachers students exposed levels, this condition could have an impact on perceptive-cognitive neurobehavioral aspects, determining auditory extra-auditory effects from exposure noise. The BRiC - ID14 project, funded by INAIL, investigates...

In this paper, we develop a framework for assessing innovation collaboration partners. Based on the studies explaining theinternationalisation of inventive activity, we identify four elements that are drivers of innovation collaboration: inventivecapacity, technological specialization patterns, openness to international innovation collaboration and the economic potential oftechn...

In this paper we present a study about scientific production in Computer Science in Brazil and several other countries, as measured by the number of articles in journals and conference proceedings indexed by ISI and by Scopus. We compare the Brazilian production from 2001 to 2005 with some Latin American, Latin European, BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China), and other relevant countries (South K...
