Mamíferos encontrados ao Sul do Estado do Acre, Brasil.
Entre os anos de 2004 e 2008, sete inventários de mamíferos foram realizados em quatro áreas sob manejo florestal madeireiro e não madeireiro localizadas ao sul do Estado do Acre. A partir de transectos lineares instalados nas áreas, foi possível identificar 32 espécies pertencentes às ordens Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla, Carnivora, Primates, Rodentia e Xenarthra, que incluíram as espécies ameaçadas de extinção, de distribuição geográfica restrita ou pouco conhecidas. Entre os animais observados destaca-se a predominância dos primatas nas quatro áreas estudadas. Nesse caso, especula-se sobre a possibilidade desse grupo taxonômico ser utilizado como bioindicador da qualidade ambiental das áreas de manejo florestal no Estado do Acre.bitstream/item/77684/1/boletim-de-pesquisa-48.pd

Coherent-State Approach to Two-dimensional Electron Magnetism
We study in this paper the possible occurrence of orbital magnetim for
two-dimensional electrons confined by a harmonic potential in various regimes
of temperature and magnetic field. Standard coherent state families are used
for calculating symbols of various involved observables like thermodynamical
potential, magnetic moment, or spatialdistribution of current. Their
expressions are given in a closed form and the resulting Berezin-Lieb
inequalities provide a straightforward way to study magnetism in various limit
regimes. In particular, we predict a paramagnetic behaviour in the
thermodynamical limit as well as in the quasiclassical limit under a weak
field. Eventually, we obtain an exact expression for the magnetic moment which
yields a full description of the phase diagram of the magnetization.Comment: 21 pages, 6 figures, submitted to PR

Coherent states for Hamiltonians generated by supersymmetry
Coherent states are derived for one-dimensional systems generated by
supersymmetry from an initial Hamiltonian with a purely discrete spectrum for
which the levels depend analytically on their subindex. It is shown that the
algebra of the initial system is inherited by its SUSY partners in the subspace
associated to the isospectral part or the spectrum. The technique is applied to
the harmonic oscillator, infinite well and trigonometric Poeschl-Teller
potentials.Comment: LaTeX file, 26 pages, 3 eps figure
Non-Hermitian SUSY Hydrogen-like Hamiltonians with real spectra
It is shown that the radial part of the Hydrogen Hamiltonian factorizes as
the product of two not mutually adjoint first order differential operators plus
a complex constant epsilon. The 1-susy approach is used to construct
non-hermitian Hamiltonians with hydrogen spectra. Other non-hermitian
Hamiltonians are shown to admit an extra `complex energy' at epsilon. New
self-adjoint hydrogen-like Hamiltonians are also derived by using a 2-susy
transformation with complex conjugate pairs epsilon, (c.c) epsilon.Comment: LaTeX2e file, 13 pages, 6 EPS figures. New references added. The

Does native Trypanosoma cruzi calreticulin mediate growth inhibition of a mammary tumor during infection?
Indexación: Web of Science.Background: For several decades now an antagonism between Trypanosoma cruzi infection and tumor development has been detected. The molecular basis of this phenomenon remained basically unknown until our proposal that T. cruzi Calreticulin (TcCRT), an endoplasmic reticulum-resident chaperone, translocated-externalized by the parasite, may mediate at least an important part of this effect. Thus, recombinant TcCRT (rTcCRT) has important in vivo antiangiogenic and antitumor activities. However, the relevant question whether the in vivo antitumor effect of T. cruzi infection is indeed mediated by the native chaperone (nTcCRT), remains open. Herein, by using specific modified anti-rTcCRT antibodies (Abs), we have neutralized the antitumor activity of T. cruzi infection and extracts thereof, thus identifying nTcCRT as a valid mediator of this effect.
Methods: Polyclonal anti-rTcCRT F(ab')(2) Ab fragments were used to reverse the capacity of rTcCRT to inhibit EAhy926 endothelial cell (EC) proliferation, as detected by BrdU uptake. Using these F(ab')(2) fragments, we also challenged the capacity of nTcCRT, during T. cruzi infection, to inhibit the growth of an aggressive mammary adenocarcinoma cell line (TA3-MTXR) in mice. Moreover, we determined the capacity of anti-rTcCRT Abs to reverse the antitumor effect of an epimastigote extract (EE). Finally, the effects of these treatments on tumor histology were evaluated.
Results: The rTcCRT capacity to inhibit ECs proliferation was reversed by anti-rTcCRT F(ab')(2) Ab fragments, thus defining them as valid probes to interfere in vivo with this important TcCRT function. Consequently, during infection, these Ab fragments also reversed the in vivo experimental mammary tumor growth. Moreover, anti-rTcCRT Abs also neutralized the antitumor effect of an EE, again identifying the chaperone protein as an important mediator of this anti mammary tumor effect. Finally, as determined by conventional histological parameters, in infected animals and in those treated with EE, less invasive tumors were observed while, as expected, treatment with F(ab')(2) Ab fragments increased malignancy.
Conclusion: We have identified translocated/externalized nTcCRT as responsible for at least an important part of the anti mammary tumor effect of the chaperone observed during experimental infections with T. cruzi.http://bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12885-016-2764-
Nonlocal supersymmetric deformations of periodic potentials
Irreducible second-order Darboux transformations are applied to the periodic
Schrodinger's operators. It is shown that for the pairs of factorization
energies inside of the same forbidden band they can create new non-singular
potentials with periodicity defects and bound states embedded into the spectral
gaps. The method is applied to the Lame and periodic piece-wise transparent
potentials. An interesting phenomenon of translational Darboux invariance
reveals nonlocal aspects of the supersymmetric deformations.Comment: 15 pages, latex, 9 postscript figure
