ABSTRACT Bacterial evolution is characterized by strong purifying selection as well as rapid adaptive evolution in changing environments.In this context, the genomic GC content (genomic GC) varies greatly but presents some level of phylogenetic stability, making it challenging to explain based on current hypotheses.To illuminate the evolutionary me
Attempts to answer questions regarding the ontological status of information are frequently based on the assumption that information should be placed within an already existing framework of concepts of established ontological statuses related to science, in particular to physics.However, many concepts of physics have undetermined or questionable on
One of the most visible effects of aging, even in healthy, normal aging, is a decline in motor performance.The range of strategies applicable to counteract this deterioration has increased.Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that can promote neuroplasticity, has recently gained attention.Howeve
The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of integrated pest management (IPM) in the productivity of the tomato and in the populations of leafminers, fruit borers, and natural enemies in tomato crops.The treatments were calendar (spraying twice weekly with insecticides and fungicides), IPM (spraying when action thresholds were achieved)
