The Neotropical region comprises approximately 27% of mammal diversity, and rodents of the tribe Oryzomyini represent a significant portion of that. This diversity is reflected in the karyotype variability of the tribe, with a huge number of chromosomal rearrangements involving autosomal, sex, and B chromosomes. Supernumerary B chromosomes were described for more than 10 species, four of them belonging to the genus Holochilus...

Dengue is an arboviral disease of high public health relevance, characterized by pronounced temporal variability, nonlinearity, and recurrent outbreaks, which pose challenges to epidemiological surveillance and decision-making. This study evaluated the performance of machine learning methods for short-term forecasting of the weekly dengue morbidity rate in the 27 Brazilian capital cities, comprising the 26 state capitals and B...

This study examined the constituents and evaluated the effects of incorporating a pulp industry residue (dregs) on the physical and mechanical properties of mortar. The properties of the mortar constituents were evaluated using thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and tests specified in standards NBR 16...
