Evidence of selection on phenotypic plasticity and cost of plasticity in response to host-feeding sources in the major Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans
(Elsevier Science, 2015-12)
Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a genotype to display alternative phenotypes in different environments. Understanding how plasticity evolves and the factors that favor and constrain its evolution have attracted ...
Polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides in plastics ingested by seabirds
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
The occurrence of plastic objects in the digestive tract was assessed in eight species of Procellariiformes collected in southern Brazil and the occurrence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides ...
Polímeros biodegradáveis - uma solução parcial para diminuir a quantidade dos resíduos plásticos
(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2006-07-01)
The large use of plastics has generated a waste deposit problem. Today plastic wastes represent 20% in volume of the total waste in the municipal landfills. To solve the disposal problem of plastics methods have been ...
A discussion on volume change in the plastic phase
(JOHN WILEY & SONS LTD, 2008)
This technical note discusses the possibility of using a more simplified scheme to estimate the plastic multiplier when some material shows volume changes, e.g. soil, balsa wood foam and other similar materials. Two ...
The alignment between phenotypic plasticity, the major axis of genetic variation and the response to selection
(Royal Soc., 2015)
Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a genotype to produce more than one phenotype in order to match the environment. Recent theory proposes that the major axis of genetic variation in a phenotypically plastic population ...
Bilateral sural nerve harvest in adult patients: a plastic surgery medical residency experience in Brazil
(2021-01-01)
Background: Sural nerve is an excellent nerve for harvest and reconstructive applications for plastic surgeons and should be learned since medical residency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the number of patients ...
Hygrotermal effects evaluation using the losipescu shear test for glare laminates
(Abcm Brazilian Soc Mechanical Sciences & Engineering, 2008-07-01)
Fiber-metal laminates (FML) composed of alternating layers of unidirectional fibers-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminae and aluminum-alloy sheets offer some superior mechanical properties, compared with either conventional ...
On the plastic constraint factor of polymers
(Wiley, 2017-06)
The plastic constraint factor based on Hill´s theory of plasticity is widely used to check the stress state applying the essential-work-of-fracture (EWF) approach to polymers. However, the plastic constraint factor ...
Leadership in plastic surgery today
(2010)
This article was developed after the authors heard young plastic surgeons of their unit ask what attribute makes people want to follow a leader. What people most seek to find in a leader has been constant over time and ...
Development of an instrument to evaluate the results of plastic surgery from the perspective of the patient
(Sociedad Chilena de Infectología, 2013)
Background: Body remodeling surgical procedures requires an assessment from the client's point of view in terms of esthetic satisfaction. Aim: To develop an instrument of assess body remodeling surgical results from the ...
