Abstract The present study describes morphometric variations in the grasshopper, Chromacris speciosa (Thunberg, 1824) (Orthoptera: Acridoidea: Romaleidae) from two locations in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The distance between the sites chosen for collections (Recife and São Lourenço da Mata) is approximately 16 km. The investigation was based on a comparative study of external morphologi...

Assembly and disassembly of Rad51 and Rad52 complexes were monitored by immunofluorescence during homologous recombination initiated by an HO endonuclease-induced double-strand break (DSB) at the MAT locus. DSB-induced Rad51 and Rad52 foci colocalize with a TetR-GFP focus at tetO sequences adjacent to MAT. In strains in which HO cleaves three sites on chromosome III, we observe three distinct f...

(The survival and establishment potential of spores of Cyathea delgadii Sternb. in soils from Itirapina and Moji Guaçu (SP), Brazil). Germination of spores of Cyathea delgadii was carried out in soils collected in March 1997 (rainy season) at three depths (0-5, 5-10 and 10-15 cm) from the cerrado, open-cerrado, gallery forest and marsh at Moji Guaçu and cerradão, cerrado and gallery forest at P...

Cryptococcosis is a human fungal infection of significant mortality and morbidity, especially in the meningoencephalitis form. Cryptococcosis is distributed worldwide and its agents, C. neoformans and C. gattii, present eight major molecular types-VNI-VNIV and VGI-VGIV respectively. The primary cryptococcosis caused by molecular type VGII (serotype B, MAT alpha) prevails in immunocompetent pati...

OBJECTIVE To describe the construction of a factor of allocation of financial resources, based on the population's health needs. METHODS Quantitative study with data collected from public databases referring to the state of Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil, between 2000 and 2010. Variables which reflected epidemiological, demographic, socio-economic and educational processes were selected in o...

FROM time to time one of my colleagues working at a medical school commiserates with me because I spend 40 hr a year lecturing to undergraduates. I always reply that teaching has compelled me to learn a lot of material that I would not have known about had I taught only my specialized subject. These forays into the ‘‘beyond’’ were instrumental in moving my research in new directions. Three arti...
