Morphology of Gambierdiscus excentricus (Dinophyceae) with emphasis on sulcal plates
Gambierdiscus excentricus is an epibenthic dinoflagellate able to produce ciguatoxin and maitotoxin-like
compounds that are responsible for ciguatera fish poisoning. Morphological descriptions and molecular characterization
of two G. excentricus strains isolated from Brazil and maintained in culture were provided. The most complete description
of the morphology of the sulcal region of Gambierdiscus based on light and scanning electron microscopy was presented.
The sulcal area morphology and nomenclature used by different authors to name the sulcal plates in Gambierdiscus were
reviewed. Two small sulcal plates (S.m.a. and S.m.p.) were shown for the first time. Phylogenetic trees based on D1–D3
and D8–D10 large subunits of ribosomal RNA gene sequences showed that the strains of G. excentricus from Brazil
clustered with strains of G. excentricus isolated from its type locality, the Canary Islands. Both phylogenetic trees
reconstructed the same relationships among all the formally described Gambierdiscus species and Gambierdiscus sp.

Bootstrapping a Portuguese WordNet from Galician, Spanish and English wordnets
Series: Lecture notes in computer science, ISSN 0302-9743, vol. 8854In this article we exploit the possibility on bootstrapping
an European Portuguese WordNet from the English, Spanish and Galician
wordnets using
Probabilistic Translation Dictionaries automatically created from parallel corpora.
The process generated a total of 56~770 synsets and 97~058 variants.
An evaluation of the results using the Brazilian OpenWordNet-PT as a gold standard
resulted on a precision varying from 53\% to 75\% percent, depending on the
cut-line. The results were satisfying and comparable to similar experiments
