In this paper, we present a powerful, compact electrocardiogram (ECG) classification algorithm for cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis that addresses the current reliance on deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in ECG analysis. This work aims to reduce the demand for deep learning, which often requires extensive computational resources and large labeled datasets. Our approach introduces an artificial neural network...
Evaluation of BR-DWGD, CHIRPS and GPM-IMERG precipitation products: case study in the Ipojuca River BasinNARA Subscribed
This study compares daily and monthly precipitation data from the Brazilian Daily Weather Gridded Data (BR-DWGD), Climate Hazards Center InfraRed Precipitation With Station Data (CHIRPS) and Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) products with observations from four rainfall stations in the Ipojuca River Basin, in Pernambuco, Brazil, from 2001 to 2022. Daily data from four rain gauge stations in the municipaliti...
Absence of hepatitis E virus RNA in bovines from PortugalNARA Subscribed
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is widely recognized as an emerging public health issue in developed countries, with most infections linked to foodborne transmission of genotype HEV-3. This zoonotic genotype can infect a diverse range of mammalian species, including bovine, with pigs serving as the primary reservoir. The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence, circulation, and the potential of HEV infection among b...
Socioenvironmental impacts of the Belo Monte hydroelectric power plant as revealed by Indigenous and ribeirinho monitoringNARA Subscribed
Hydroelectric dams, once seen as clean and renewable energy sources, have been the subject of extensive research, particularly concerning their socioenvironmental impacts. The Belo Monte hydroelectric power plant (HPP) relies on the operation of 2 dams that divert water from a 130‐km stretch of the Xingu River to generate energy. The dam has disrupted the seasonal flooding cycle (flood pulse) along the Volta Grande do Xingu (V...
Serological and Molecular Survey of Hepatitis E Virus in Small Ruminants from Central PortugalNARA Subscribed
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is currently recognized as an emerging problem and a growing concern for public health in developed countries, with HEV infections mainly attributable to foodborne transmission of HEV-3. The zoonotic HEV genotype 3 infects a wide range of mammalian hosts, with swine considered as the primary host. This study investigates the occurrence of HEV among small ruminants in Portugal. The primary aim of the pre...
Hepatitis E virus in wild and domestic rabbits from Portugal: a combined molecular and longitudinal serological studyNARA Subscribed
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), species Paslahepevirus balayani , poses a global public health threat, especially in developing countries, by causing acute enterically transmitted hepatitis. HEV infects various mammalian hosts and belongs to the genus Paslahepevirus in the family Hepeviridae . While swine are recognized as the main hosts of HEV, rabbits, which can also be affected by swine HEV-3 related strains, serve as the primary...
Implementing post-normal science with or for EU policy actors: using quantitative story-tellingNARA Subscribed
There is increasing recognition of the wicked nature of the intertwined climate, biodiversity and economic crises, and the need for adaptive, multi-scale approaches to understanding the complexity of both the problems and potential responses. Most science underpinning policy responses to sustainability issues, however, remains overtly apolitical and focussed on technical innovation; at odds with a critical body of literatures...
Newly discovered cichlid fish biodiversity threatened by hybridization with non‐native speciesNARA Subscribed
Invasive freshwater fishes are known to readily hybridize with indigenous congeneric species, driving loss of unique and irreplaceable genetic resources. Here we reveal that newly discovered (2013–2016) evolutionarily significant populations of Korogwe tilapia ( Oreochromis korogwe ) from southern Tanzania are threatened by hybridization with the larger invasive Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). We use a combination of m...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal specie...
South Texas has experienced local transmission of Zika virus and of other mosquito-borne viruses such as chikungunya virus and dengue virus in the last decades. Using a mosquito surveillance program in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) and San Antonio, TX, from 2016 to 2018, we detected the presence of an insect-specific virus, cell fusing agent virus (CFAV), in the Aedes aegypti mosquito population. We tested 6,326 females a...
NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos,...
Modelling and management options for salmonid sport fisheries: A case study from Patagonia, ArgentinaNARA Subscribed
Salmonid sport fishery management in Argentinian Patagonia is usually guided by stakeholder perceptions, which do not consider the biological and ecological constraints acting upon aquatic resources. An example of this are management policies for Traful Lake, where Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., was actively stocked during the last decade in an attempt to change the fish assemblage structure and to create a highly valuable s...
