Estudo dos mixozoários (Myxozoa : Myxosporea) parasitos dos peixes characiformes Acestrorhynchus lacustris (Lütken, 1875) e Steindachnerina insculpta (Fernández-Yépez, 1948) coletados no Rio do Peixe, médio Rio Tietê, SP, Brasil

The São Paulo State has as one of its main rivers the Tietê, which is an extremely important source because of its biodiversity, use in navigation and mainly as direct supplier of water for thousands of people in the region. Currently, the biodiversity of marine and freshwater ecosystems has been threatened, primarily by environmental problems resulting from the degradation of ecosystems, an example is the stretch of the Middle Tietê River, where the Barra Bonita dam (SP) focused virtually the whole load organic effluents from the metropolitan region of São Paulo, leading to eutrophication with the loss of water quality. This basin is located in the Peixe’s River, a tributary of the Barra Bonita whose sources are on the slopes of the Cuesta de Botucatu, presenting an altitudinal gradient in a good state of conservation and water quality. From another perspective, the studies related to parasites and other pathogens of aquatic organisms have considerably increased the relevance, especially those hosts with potential for growing and marketing, given the significant increase these activities in Brazil and worldwide. Among the agents responsible for diseases in fish are the myxosporean, which can cause major economic damage, with high mortality ratios. Based on the above, this study evaluated the biodiversity of myxosporean parasites of two species of fish Acestrorhynchus lacustris and Steindachnerina insculpta. During the period January to November 2012, 40 specimens of Acestrorhynchus lacustris and 33 specimens of Steindachnerina insculpta were collected from the Peoxe’s river at four different points. The necropsies were performed and all organs were analyzed looking for myxosporean. Only the species Steindachnerina insculpta had their gills parasitized by two species of the genus Henneguya

EC27-811 Harvesting Wheat in Nebraska with the Combined Harvester Thresher 1926

Frequent inquiry from wheat growers in Nebraska and others as to the relative merits of the combined harvester-thresher as an efficienct and economical harvesting machine led the Nebraska Agricultural College to make a study of this problem in the summer of 1926. The work was carried on by the Departments of Rural Economics and Agricultural Engineering, cooperating with the United States Department of Agriculture which was conducting a similar survey in different parts of the United States. Perkins county, Nebraska, was the area selected for study as it is more or less typical of those parts of the state where combines are used extensively. The purpose of this circular is merely to give such informaition as is available regarding harvesting costs by different methods in Nebraska and not to recommend one method over another since location, acreage, climatic conditions, and topopgraphy all have their influence in determining the most economic method for different communities.

L'attività pionieristica della Scuola bolognese nello studio e nell'utilizzo del cemento armato: 1875 - 1924. Tecniche costruttive e tipologie architettoniche

La ricerca mira ad indagare l’origine della Scuola ingegneristica bolognese ed il ruolo che essa ha avuto durante i suoi primi 50 anni di attività nella diffusione del calcestruzzo armato in Italia, ed in particolare nella città di Bologna, sia dal punto di vista teorico che architettonico. Il processo di sviluppo del cemento armato è stato indagato secondo i percorsi tipici della scienza e della tecnica: teoria e pratica appaiono nel periodo di sperimentazione del materiale assai lontane; soltanto grazie alla comprensione delle sue potenzialità costruttive e del modo di sfruttarle al meglio, esse iniziano a convergere. L’interesse specifico per la Scuola bolognese va quindi a collocarsi all’interno di un panorama assai più ampio, con l’obiettivo di comprendere se, e fino a quando, le due discipline proseguono lungo strade parallele o se, al contrario, esse godono di reciproche influenze.

Natural History on Blocks, in Bodies, and on the Hearth: Juvenile Science Literature and Games, 1850-1875.

This article examines the role of domestic spaces and images in mid-nineteenth-century science writing for children. Analyses of John Mill’s The Fossil Spirit, A.L.O.E.’s Fairy Frisket, John Cargill Brough’s The Fairy Tales of Science, Annie Carey’s “Autobiography of a Lump of Coal,” and an assortment of boxed games reveal a variety of ways in which overwhelming scientific concepts are domesticated. Moreover, juvenile science literature contributes this appeasing domestication to the broader scientific discourse, consistently framing natural history in terms of human experience.
