High resolution GPR applied to the “Capela Pombo”
No full textIn this work was applied electromagnetic method (GPR), to identify surface layers in a speci c urban environment. The measurements were performed to map the surface layers and artifacts that make up the study area "Capela de Nosso Senhor dos Passos - a Capela Pombo" in the Barrio of Campina-Bel em. This chapel has a previous work that rescues the importance y architectural features that it has, together with the evidence recollected by the author Dominic Savio de Castro Oliveira, who noted the historical importance that has not only to be the last private chapel in the city of Belém, this author also acknowledges her design as an Italian architect's work possible Guissepi Jos e Antonio Landi. The pro les obtained after corresponding processing procedure, show that this probably presences of structures, rest of the previous building structure, which previously was in this space. The study aimed to identify anomalies. The study aimed to identify structural abnormalities, as well as possible characteristic burials of the time when it was actively used. The results of the GPR measurements were encouraging, since the method presented response of approximately 1.80 meters deep, one can identify anomalies control for the reasons as presented Chapel, and present possible anomalies related to structural foreign bodies.CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e TecnológicoINCT/GP - Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia de Geofísica do PetróleoNeste projeto foi aplicado o método eletromagnético (GPR), para a identificação de camadas superficiais, em um ambiente urbano específico.

Monstruo enciclopédico o maravilla literaria: Las Bodas de Filología y Mercurio de Marciano Capela
No full textSi leyéramos hoy en día acerca de un autor que ‘es lo más extraño que ha producido el universo’, que hacía cosas que ‘no son de hombre sano’, o que resulta ‘inclasificable’, ajeno a todo tiempo y espacio, excéntrico e ilegible (como resume Fanny LeMoine, en Martianus Capella:A literary re-evaluation), quizá nos costaría imaginar que el objeto de todos estos juicios es Marciano Capela, un autor latino de la antigüedad tardía (siglo V d. C.) que escribió una obra con el sugestivo título Las bodas de Filología y Mercurio (De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii en latín, en adelante DN). Su importancia en la cultura y educación medieval es central y, sin embargo, es un autor poco frecuentado por la crítica.Fil: Cardigni, Julieta.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Galerita procera subsp. capelai Serrano & Capela & Santos 2017, ssp. n.
No full textGalerita procera capelai Serrano ssp. n. (Figs 7a, 7c, 8a, 8b, 8c) Type series. Holotype, ♂; Angola (Kwanza Sul), Calulo-Cabuta (9° 53´59´´ S, 14° 54´26´´ E, 831 m alt., 128) (KWANZA SUL), 29.XI‒6.XII.2015, PF, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC.

Derivatio nominis. This subspecies is named in honour of Rúben Capela, a specialist on Diptera Culicidae and Ceratopogonidae, which has collaborated with the first author (AS) in the Angola entomological trips.

Similar in form and color to G. procera Gerstaecker, 1867; five pairs of impar elytral carinae well developed, the 2nd par carinae (4th carinae) only slightly distinct in the first quarter, 3rd par carinae (6th carinae) distinct in the first and last thirds of elytrae, remaining par carinae almost indistinct, scutellar carina almost indistinct joining the first carina; median lobe of aedeagus with a hooked apex ventraly backwards (Figs 8a, 8b). Description. Length of Holotype: 25.5 mm. Length of paratypes (without labrum): 25.32‒25.33 mm (males), 25.89‒26.30 mm (females). Head (Fig, 7a) 1.2‒1.3 times longer than wide [length: 4.62 mm (holotype and male paratypes), 4.62‒4.82 mm (female allotype and paratype), width: 3.68 mm (holotype), 3.62‒3.68 mm (male paratypes), 3.71‒3.81 mm (female allotype and paratype)], black, eyes small, slightly wider than temples; front longitudinaly protruded in the median region, almost smooth, two short deeply furrows lateraly; occiput surface largely rugose-punctate, covered with very sparce blackish semierected pubescence, surface intervals smooth; mandibles and labrum blackish; palpi blackish, apical region of the last articles brownish, last article of both palpi strongly securiform; labrum with anterior margin straight or slightly arcuate; antennae proeminent, densely pubescent, decreasing in thickness towards apex, first four antennomers blackish, gradually brown dark to lighter brown since the 5th to the 11th, reaching or slightly surpassing the middle of elytra; Cephalic chaetotaxy (large setae, all brownyellowish): Labrum with three submarginal pairs of long setae, two pairs of long setae in a transversal middle line throughout the first half of clypeus disk, one pair on sides behind this anterior series and two pairs of very long supraocular setae present over each eye; some other not so long setae dispersed over the sides of clypeus and frons. Thorax (Fig. 7a) Pronotum 1.13‒1.21 times longer than wide [length: 5.68 mm (holotype), 5.71‒5.74 mm (male paratypes), 5.68‒5.87 mm (female allotype and paratype), width: 5.02 mm (holotype), 4.82‒4.95 mm (male paratypes), 4.69‒4.88 mm (female allotype and paratype)], black, wider than head, barely subcordiform, widest near the middle; lateral margins slightly raised, narrow, regularly round in the first two thirds, slightly subparallel or sinuate before the rectangular basal angles, round at tip; apical angles roundly acute, slightly protruded; apex and base finely margined, the former arcuate, the latter almost straight; disk gently convex; median line in middle slightly more impressed than anteriorly and posteriorly, neither reaching apex nor base; anterior transverse sulcus indistinct, posterior transverse sulcus slightly conspicuous in males, absent in females; basal grooves barely indicated; lateral margin with two elongate setae, one situated slightly before the middle, the other before the basal angle, two‒three short setae near the anterior angles, a fringe of brown-reddish hairs at anterior and posterior margins (shorter in the former); surface strongly transversely punctate-rugose in sides and base, slighter in the disk, covered with sparce blackish semierected pubescence, microreticulation distinct, extremely fine, consisting of transverse meshes, shiny. Elytra (Fig. 7a) 1.66‒1.79 times longer than wide [length:, 14.36 mm (holotype), 14.23‒14.36 mm (male paratypes), 14.90‒15.30 mm (female allotype and paratype), width: 8.65 mm (holotype), 8.05‒8.11 mm (male paratypes), 8.31‒8.91 mm (female allotype and paratype)], blackish, shiny, sometimes with violet reflections; wider than pronotum, broadly elongate-ovate, humeral angles not distinct, widest point behind the middle; dorsally very slightly convex, truncated obliquely at apex; each elytron with five distinct impair carinae, the 2nd par carinae (4th carinae) only slightly distinct in the first quarter, 3rd par carinae (6th carinae) distinct in the first and last thirds of elytrae, remaining par carinae almost indistinct, scutellar carina almost indistinct joining the first carina; intervals between two consecutive impair carinae with two longitudinal deep punctate rows, each flanked lateraly by a row of brownish setae from base to apex, totalizing three rows; 4th interval narrower than others, by this with only one longitudinal punctate row flanked lateraly by a row of brownish setae from base to apex; apical truncature with blackish pubescence; surface intervals covered with distinct, dense, transversely punctate-granulate meshes (Fig. 7c); hind wings absent. Ventral surface. Blach to brown dark, shiny in the head and thorax, dull in abdomen; genae sparsely punctate, sides covered with sparse black semierected setae; proepisterna smooth, not punctate in the upper sides, becoming sparsely punctate towards the ventral region; metaepisterna, pro, meso and metasterna densely punctate and pubescent (brownish color); elytral epipleura moderately punctate; abdominal segments densely punctate and pubescent like thoracic sterna; posterior margin of last segment deeply (males) or slightly (females) truncate in the middle region, one pair (males and females) of setae near the posterior margin. Legs are conformed to the genus morphological pattern. Male forelegs with the three basal tarsomeres of tarsi more dilated in the inner region than in the outer (asymmetrical dilated), the 4th lesser asymmetrical, bilobated, presenting two rows of elongate, sensorial phaneres beneath. Aedeagus (Figs 8a, 8b, 8c). Median lobe short, robust, apex hooked ventraly backwards (Fig. 8b). Endophalous with a large postero-latero-dorsal scaly plate. Left paramere large, round at apex, right atrophied. Intraspecific variation. The range of variability observed in G. procera capelai ssp. n. (5 specimens) affects the median region of frons, more or less longitudinaly protruded and the pronotum shape (more or less subcordiform). Asymmetries in the length of left and right elytron are common too. The pronotum is partially pubescent or almost glabrous, accordingly with the presence/absence of decumbent setae. Remarks. The subspecies of G. procera, including the nominal one, are easily segregated by the apical conformation of the median lobe of aedeagus than by external morphological characters (see Basilewsky1963). The representants of this complex (eight subspecies including the nominal one) are distributed from Angola to Kenya and Tanzania, throughtout D. R. of the Congo, Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda. Galerita procera angolana Basilewsky, 1963 was the unique subspecies known until now from Angola. By the recorded localities given (Basilewsky 1963, Ferreira 1965) it seems distributed in the central and eastern territories of Angola (Huambo, Lunda Norte and Moxico Provinces). Interestingly, G. procera capelai ssp. n. by the external morphological characters and shape of apical median lobe of aedeagus seems closer to the nominal subspecies than the already known Angolan subspecies. The nominal subspecies is proper of eastern Africa (Kenya and Tanzania), very faraway of the new subspecies locality. The other seven subspecies are distributed between the two taxa. In southern Africa this singular relationship in which species closer morphologicaly are strongly allopatric (western vs eastern) seems more common than expected (e.g. Serrano 1995). The new subspecies by the singular apical shape of median lobe (ventraly hooked backwards) (Fig. 8b) is easily segregate from the remaining subspecies (see Fig. 20, in Basilewsky 1963). Galerita procera capelai ssp. n. can be separated also from G. procera angolana, the subspecies closer territorialy of the new subspecies, by a very different shape of the median lobe apex (cf Figs 8b vs 8e) and further by the elytral carinae less elevated, the intervals slightly larger and less excavated, the rows between impair carinae shallower punctate and surface intervals covered with more distinct and dense transversely punctate-granulate meshes. Ecological notes. Adult specimens were collected by means of pitfall trapping within secondary rainforest patches with moist soils, covered with dense and high litter (Fig. 9c), together with adults of some tiger and ground beetles [Dromica (Foveodromica) sp., A. optimus, A. distinctus, D. tarsalis, C. magnicollis discrepans, O. gilvipes and O. patroboides]. As happens with some carabid species living mainly at moist habitats (e.g. Rossi & Santamaria 2001) the adult specimens of the new species were more or less infected with ectoparasitic fungi of the order Laboulbeniales on pronotum as well on elytra. Some study cases were already reported to other African carabid species (e.g. Santamaria & Faille 2009).Published as part of Serrano, Artur R.

Órgãos e Organeiros da Real e Imperial Capela do Rio de Janeiro: de António José de Araújo a Pierre Guigon
No full textSabemos, por intermédio de um recibo de afinação assinado por António José de Araújo, organeiro da Real Capela do Rio de Janeiro, que a mesma contava com dois órgãos independentes em 1809. Com a morte do organeiro (c.1827), os instrumentos sofreram considerável abandono no que diz respeito a sua manutenção, uma vez que não se encontraram autênticos mestres na arte organária para ocupar o posto deixado por Araújo, situação que se prolongou até 1843, quando Pierre Guigon, organeiro francês, foi, então, provido no posto em questão. Guigon foi responsável pela transladação e reconstrução do grande órgão da Imperial Capela (1850-1852). Com base na rica, porém fragmentária, documentação relativa aos órgãos e organeiros da Real e Imperial Capela, conservada no Arquivo Nacional do Brasil, e em seu devido cruzamento com outras fontes impressas e documentais correlatas, procedemos, no presente artigo, a uma reconstrução historiográfico-organológica dos dois importantes instrumentos da Antiga Sé - Real e Imperial Capela do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

Perigona liboloensis Serrano & Capela & Santos 2017, sp. n.
No full textPerigona (s. str.) liboloensis Serrano & Capela sp. n. (Figs 1a, 2, 3) Type series. Holotype, ♂; Angola (Kwanza Sul), Alto Ventura-Col (Calulo) (9° 59´42´´ S, 14° 50´32´´ E, 1116 m alt., 128), 4.XII.2015, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC. Allotype, 1♀, same locality and date as holotype, ASC. Derivatio nominis. This species is named after Libolo (noun in apposition), a municipality of the Kwanza Sul Province where the specimens were found and home of one of the most remarkable Angolan Sports Club: the Sports Club Recreativo do Libolo. Diagnosis. Body elongate, sub-parallel, slightly convex and reddish-brown (Fig. 1a); integument with microreticulation, shiny; surface with sparse micropunctures visible at high magnification. Elytral color as Perigona pallida Castelnau, 1835. Internal sac of median lobe of aedeagus (Fig. 2) with a conspicuous twisted sclerite closer to the apex and a posterior bone shaped cut half sclerite (lateral view). Description. Length of Holotype: 3.36 mm. Length of allotype: 3.16 mm. Head. Slightly wider than long [length: 0.59 mm (holotype), 0.64 mm (allotype), width: 0.72 mm (holotype), 0.75 mm (allotype)], darker (black-brownish) than pronotum and elytra, clypeus, labrum, mouth parts and antennae piceous; surface with sparce fine punctuation, microreticulation distinct, isodiametric, rather glossy; eyes large, moderately protruding, labrum moderately notched; clypeal-frontal furrows distinct, oblique, extended to level of anterior supraorbital seta; frons and occiput slightly convex; antenna short just attaining base of pronotum, scape two times longer than wide, 3rd to 9th antennomeres as long as wide, slightly globulose, last antennomere 1.6‒1.8 times longer than wide. Cephalic chaetotaxy (large setae): Labrum with three pairs of setae gradually shorter from exterior to inner sides, one pair on sides of clypeus and two pairs of supraocular setae present over each eye. Thorax. Pronotum (Fig. 1a) 1.27‒1.29 times wider than long [length: 0.66 mm (holotype), 0.74 mm (allotype), width: 0.85 mm (holotype), 0.94 mm (allotype)], reddish-brown dark, wider than head, barely subcordiform, widest at first third; surface sparcely micropunctate, with microreticulation distinct, consisting of isodiametric meshes in diskal area and transverse meshes and lines laterally, shiny; apical margin not margined, lateral margins with complete and distinct margination continuing in the two thirds of the basal margin after the posterior angle; apical margin arcuate, apical angles roundly acute, protruded; lateral margin slightly curved at first two thirds, followed by a slight sinuosity and ending straight obliquely before the roundly obtuse basal angles, posterior margin distinctly emarginated; median line distinct, not reaching anterior or posterior margins, anterior transverse sulcus indistinct, posterior transverse sulcus slightly conspicuous; anterior marginal setae situated close to the widest width, posterior marginal seta situated at basal angle, none short setae at disk or sides. Elytra (Fig. 1a) 1.61‒1.62 times longer than wide [length: 1.90 mm (Holotype), 1.97 mm (allotype), width: 1.17 mm (holotype), 1.22 mm (allotype)], reddish-brown lighter than pronotum, sutural stripe slightly darker; surface glossy, with sparse very fine punctuation and superficial microreticulation of fine transverse meshes; narrow and elongate, sub-parallel, dorsally moderately convex, very slightly depressed on disk, widest at middle; humeral angles distinct but broadly rounded; mediam marginal punctures arranged in a straight line; marginal channel towards apex widened, depressed, first half scarsely pilose, second half densely pilose; only inner three striae recognizable at two thirds by inconspicuous sulci not marked by punctures, anterior setiferous puncture situated at 3rd striae and at basal quarter, median setiferous puncture situated in 3rd interval close to 2nd striae slightly behind middle, apical setiferous puncture (long setae) situated at 3rd striae just above sub-apical border. Abdominal segments brown-yellowish, covered with dense dressed short hairs; last segment with 3 pairs (male) or 5 pairs (female) of setae near the posterior margin; terminal abdominal sternite in both sexes with fringe of short hairs. Legs brown-testaceous. Aedeagus (Figs 2 a, b, c) with median lobe short and stout, ventral margin slightly curved, apex downwards (lateral view); internal sac with a conspicuous twisted sclerite and a bone shaped cut in half sclerite at right and left sides, respectively; genital ring (Fig. 2 d) rather asymmetric, with wide, obliquely rounded apex, rather parallel, base evenly rounded. Female genitalia (Fig. 3) with the ordinary pattern shape of the genus. Stylomere 1 with two ventral large setae on subapical margin. Stylomere 2 with two medium sized ensiform ventro-lateral setae, one quite large ensiform dorso-median seta located about in middle of stylomere, and a single nematiform ventro-seta originating from a groove in apical third of stylomere. Some sensillae (probably chemoreceptors) are dispersed over ventral lateroapical margins of stylomere 1, and other sensillae over basal, medial and sub-apical areas of ventral, lateral and dorsal sides of stylomere 2. Remarks. The new species belongs to the subgenus Perigona s.str. based on the arrangement of the three lateral marginal elytral pores in a straight line and by the presence of distinct clypeo-orbital sulci. Until now there are six species known for continental Africa belonging to this subgenus (Basilewsky 1989, Baehr 2004 and Serrano 2008). Perigona liboloensis sp. n. is easily segregate from P. parallela Chaudoir, 1878, P. nigrociliata Basiewsky, 1953, P. mediornata Basilewsky, 1989, P. wachteli Baehr, 2004 and P. principensis Serrano, 2008, among other characters, by the quite dissimilar aedeagi of all these species. Certainly the new species is next related to P. pallida Laporte de Castelnau, 1835 with which it shares the general color, the elongate, almost parallel body shape and male median lobe general shape, though differs in its general body length (3.16‒3.36 mm vs. 2.30‒2.70 mm), pronotum conformation (slightly sinuouse before the posterior angles vs. not sinuouse before the posterior angles), elytral index (1.61‒1.62 vs. 1.47‒1.55), and in the shape of the sclerotized plates in the internal sac of the median lobe of aedeagus (cf. Figs 2a, b vs. Fig. 5b in Basilewsky 1989). Moreover, P. pallida presents the pronotal widest situated in the middle while in the new species is in the first third. In the former species the elytral striae are conspicuous with punctuation well marked while in the latter the elytral striae are almost indistinct and without marked punctuation. By the Perigona pallida previous records (e.g. Basilewsky 1989) and the new species known locality, the two taxa seem to be sister species with vicariant (allopatric) distribution, a fact referred already for tiger beetle and ant nest beetle species of Angola also (Serrano et al. 2015, Serrano & Capela 2015a).
