Photorhabdus spp.are the only known terrestrial bioluminescent bacteria.We show that the bioluminescence produced by these bacteria reduces scavenging activity on the insect cadavers they colonize.Photorhabdus spp.are the symbiont of the insect pathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis spp.Together they kill insects and colonize the cadaver.The function
Introduction: Athletes with CP were more prone to limb injuries.Stretching had long been considered beneficial for improving muscle performance and reducing the risk of injury.Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation was a technique used to enhance muscle elasticity and increase peak torque and muscle strength.Objective: To analyze the effect of a
One of the effective methods to reduce the kinetic energy downstream of hydraulic structures are the aprons.The horizontal aprons is one of these structures in the Rutin river that are often used downstream of stilling basins.At the time of execution, the apron and the riverbed are at the same level but when there is a flow in the boundary between
To reduce the pesticide load in industrial plantings, it is necessary to use pathogen-resistant varieties when establishing orchards.The problem of obtaining stable, large-fruited, adaptive varieties is acute, since there are practically no genotypes in the Tissues existing assortment that combine a complex of economically valuable traits with resi
The flow created by the shape of a vehicle and by environmental conditions, such as cross-winds, will influence the dynamics of a vehicle.The objective of this paper is to correlate the driver’s subjective judgement of drivability with quantities which are measurable during a vehicle test.For this purpose, a sedan vehicle, fitted with differe
