RESEARCH ON TUGBOAT SCHEDULING OPTIMIZATION MODEL CONSIDERING THE RELIABILITY OF TUGBOAT MATCHING SCHEME


Description of Amblyomma monteiroae n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae), a parasite of the great horned owl (Strigiformes: Strigidae) in southern Brazil

In 2020, adult hard ticks (males and females) were collected from great horned owls [Bubo virginianus echofix spring reverb (Gmelin, 1788)] in the coastal region in southern Brazil.The engorged females were allowed to oviposit in the laboratory and hatched larvae could be obtained.Analyses of the external morphology of the adult ticks revealed that

Metabolites Identified during Varied Doses of Aspergillus Species in Zea mays Grains, and Their Correlation with Aflatoxin Levels

Aflatoxin contamination is associated with the development of aflatoxigenic fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and A.parasiticus on food grains.This study was aimed at investigating metabolites produced during fungal development on maize and their correlation with aflatoxin levels.Maize cobs were harvested at R3 (milk), R4 (dough), and R5 (dent) stag
