Doenças da Capivara.
O objetivo principal desta obra foi o de relacionar a maior quantidade possível de informações sobre as enfermidades da capivara de modo a torná-las mais acessíveis a todos aqueles que possam interessar-se pelo assunto, sejam profissionais, estudantes, criadores ou curiosos. Sobre muitas doenças, a literatura existente resume-se a um ou dois trabalhos, ou a publicações não indexadas e de difícil obtenção, o que felizmente vem deixando de ocorrer com os estudos mais recentes. Outro aspecto importante a ser explicitado é que, como conseqüência da apresentação desta extensa revisão, tornaram-se claras as lacunas no conhecimento sobre o tema e a necessidade de mais pesquisas que venham a preenchê-las. Neste particular, essa oportuna abordagem merece ser destacada como ferramenta para auxiliar os trabalhos que levam ao conhecimento das principais doenças que acometem os indivíduos dessa espécie, prejudicando o seu desempenho, principalmente, em criações intensivas, traduzindo-se num importante passo para a sua criação em cativeiro

The superconducting phase transition and gauge dependence
The gauge dependence of the renormalization group functions of the
Ginzburg-Landau model is investigated. The analysis is done by means of the
Ward-Takahashi identities. After defining the local superconducting order
parameter, it is shown that its exponent is in fact gauge independent.
This happens because in the Landau gauge is the only gauge having a
physical meaning, a property not shared by the four-dimensional model where any
gauge choice is possible. The analysis is done in both the context of the
-expansion and in the fixed dimension approach. It is pointed out the
differences that arise in both of these approaches concerning the gauge
dependence.Comment: RevTex, 3 pages, no figures; accepted for publication in PRB; this

Cross-Task Transfer for Geotagged Audiovisual Aerial Scene Recognition
Aerial scene recognition is a fundamental task in remote sensing and has
recently received increased interest. While the visual information from
overhead images with powerful models and efficient algorithms yields
considerable performance on scene recognition, it still suffers from the
variation of ground objects, lighting conditions etc. Inspired by the
multi-channel perception theory in cognition science, in this paper, for
improving the performance on the aerial scene recognition, we explore a novel
audiovisual aerial scene recognition task using both images and sounds as
input. Based on an observation that some specific sound events are more likely
to be heard at a given geographic location, we propose to exploit the knowledge
from the sound events to improve the performance on the aerial scene
recognition. For this purpose, we have constructed a new dataset named AuDio
Visual Aerial sceNe reCognition datasEt (ADVANCE). With the help of this
dataset, we evaluate three proposed approaches for transferring the sound event
knowledge to the aerial scene recognition task in a multimodal learning
framework, and show the benefit of exploiting the audio information for the
aerial scene recognition. The source code is publicly available for
reproducibility purposes.Comment: ECCV 202
Deformed Heisenberg algebra and minimal length
A one-dimensional deformed Heisenberg algebra is studied. We
answer the question: For what function of deformation there exists a
nonzero minimal uncertainty in position (minimal length). We also find an
explicit expression for the minimal length in the case of arbitrary function of
deformation.Comment: to be published in JP
Joint evolution of multiple social traits: a kin selection analysis
General models of the evolution of cooperation, altruism and other social behaviours have focused almost entirely on single traits, whereas it is clear that social traits commonly interact. We develop a general kin-selection framework for the evolution of social behaviours in multiple dimensions. We show that whenever there are interactions among social traits new behaviours can emerge that are not predicted by one-dimensional analyses. For example, a prohibitively costly cooperative trait can ultimately be favoured owing to initial evolution in other (cheaper) social traits that in turn change the cost-benefit ratio of the original trait. To understand these behaviours, we use a two-dimensional stability criterion that can be viewed as an extension of Hamilton's rule. Our principal example is the social dilemma posed by, first, the construction and, second, the exploitation of a shared public good. We find that, contrary to the separate one-dimensional analyses, evolutionary feedback between the two traits can cause an increase in the equilibrium level of selfish exploitation with increasing relatedness, while both social (production plus exploitation) and asocial (neither) strategies can be locally stable. Our results demonstrate the importance of emergent stability properties of multidimensional social dilemmas, as one-dimensional stability in all component dimensions can conceal multidimensional instability
