Vila na Rede is an Inclusive Social Network (ISN) system developed as a joint effort with Brazilian communities. As a product of e-Cidadania's Project, it has inherited the objective of being accessible for the widest variety of users, including those less familiar with technology or with low literacy levels. In this direction, different features were incorporated into Vila na Rede in order to ...

Finding out that you have herpes [2] can be a worrying experience, especially if you're unsure how this may affect your sex life and capacity to have a healthy child. Generally, for people with herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) [3], there is a risk of transmission to future sexual partners through oral, vaginal, and anal sex ? even if the infection is asymptomatic. However, the likelihood of ...

Most of the traffic in today’s network uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as the transport layer protocol for reliable end-to-end packet delivery. However, TCP considers packet loss to be the result of network congestion which makes it unsuitable for mobile wireless communication, where sporadic and temporary packet losses are usual due to fading, shadowing, hand-off and other radio e...

In what regime does the cortical circuit operate? Our intracellular studies of surround suppression in cat primary visual cortex (V1) provide strong evidence on this question. Although suppression has been thought to arise from an increase in lateral inhibition, we find that the inhibition that cells receive is reduced, not increased, by a surround stimulus. Instead, suppression is mediated by ...

The intersegmental nerve (ISN) of the Drosophila embryo follows a reproducible course near the anterior border of each segment. Based on the experiments reported here, we suggest that growth of the axons constituting the nerve is guided, in part, by the transmembrane proteins Delta and Notch. In particular, we suggest that expression of Delta protein on a branch of the trachea provides a path f...

We introduce the concepts of lifting modules and (quasi-)discrete modules relative to a given left module. We also introduce the notion of SSRS-modules. It is shown that (1) if M is an amply supplementedmodule and 0→N ′ →N →N ′′ → 0 an exact sequence, then M isN-lifting if and only if it isN ′-lifting andN ′′-lifting; (2) ifM is a Noetherianmodule, then M is lifting if and only if M is R-liftin...

An 'interactome' screen of all Drosophila cell-surface and secreted proteins containing immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) domains discovered a network formed by paralogs of Beaten Path (Beat) and Sidestep (Side), a ligand-receptor pair that is central to motor axon guidance. Here we describe a new method for interactome screening, the Bio-Plex Interactome Assay (BPIA), which allows identificati...
