The SARAO MeerKAT 1.3Â GHz Galactic Plane Survey
We present the SARAO MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey (SMGPS), a 1.3 GHz continuum survey of almost half of the Galactic Plane (251○ ≤l ≤ 358○ and 2○ ≤l ≤ 61○ at |b| ≤ 1
5). SMGPS is the largest, most sensitive and highest angular resolution 1 GHz survey of the Plane yet carried out, with an angular resolution of 8″ and a broadband RMS sensitivity of ∼10–20 μJy beam−1. Here we describe the first publicly available data release from SMGPS which comprises data cubes of frequency-resolved images over 908–1656 MHz, power law fits to the images, and broadband zeroth moment integrated intensity images. A thorough assessment of the data quality and guidance for future usage of the data products are given. Finally, we discuss the tremendous potential of SMGPS by showcasing highlights of the Galactic and extragalactic science that it permits. These highlights include the discovery of a new population of non-thermal radio filaments; identification of new candidate supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae and planetary nebulae; improved radio/mid-IR classification of rare Luminous Blue Variables and discovery of associated extended radio nebulae; new radio stars identified by Bayesian cross-matching techniques; the realisation that many of the largest radio-quiet WISE H II region candidates are not true H II regions; and a large sample of previously undiscovered background H I galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance

Utilização da microtécnica para a identificação sorológica intratÃpica de estirpes de poliovÃrus dos tipos 1 e 3 The use of the microtechnique for intratypic serodifferentiation of type 1 and 3 poliovirus strains
Foram estudadas de modo comparativo a macro e a microtécnica em provas de identificação sorológica intratÃpica de 28 estirpes de poliovÃrus dos tipos 1 e 3, segundo o método da "comparação dos Ãndices de neutralização". Os resultados alcançados mostraram uma correlação elevada entre os Ãndices de neutralização obtidos com ambas as técnicas empregadas - 0,931 e 0,971 após incubação de três e cinco dias, respectivamente - e correspondência total na identificação das estirpes examinadas. Conclui-se que a microtécnica pode ser utilizada em substituição da macrotécnica tradicional na identificação intratÃpica de poliovÃrus dos tipos 1 e 3, com, a vantagem da economia de meios e reagentes, e até mesmo com sensÃvel redução de esforços humanos e tempo de execução das provas.<br>The microtechnique was compared to the conventional macrotechnique for intratypic serodifferentiation of 28 type 1 and 3 poliovirus strains by the method of comparison of neutralization indices. The results of the tests showed a high correlation between the neutralization indices - 0.931 and 0.971 after incubation periods of three and five days, respectively - and all the strains were equally identified by both techniques studied. It is concluded that the microtechnique can be used as an alternative of the macrotechnique for intratypic serodifferentiation of type 1 and 3 poliovirus strains, with the advantage of economy of media and reagents and even with a marked saving in both time and effort
