Priority areas and implementation of ecological corridor through forest restoration to safeguard biodiversity.

Ecological Corridors (ECs) are proposed as cost-effective solutions to improve ecological connectivity in fragmented landscapes. Planning the implementation of ECs must take into account landscape features as they affect the viability of the endeavor and the ECs associated costs. A novel set of geoprocessing tools were used to assess (i) economic viability; (ii) socioeconomic cost-effectiveness; and (iii) to determine priority targets for ECs establishment in a highly fragmented region of Atlantic Forest.

Towards a More Reliable Identification of Non-Conformities in Railway Cars: Experiments with Mask R-CNN, U-NET, and Ensembles on Unbalanced and Balanced Datasets.

In every business, equipment requires repair services. Over time, equipment wears out; however, with well-conducted and guided maintenance, this degradation can be controlled, and failed equipment can be restored to operational status. Preventive maintenance allows this concept to be applied, given the great advantages for large companies in reusing equipment and machinery, always putting the worker's health and safety first.

Curtara DeLong & Freytag, 1972 (Cicadellidae: Iassinae: Gyponini) from Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Southeastern Brazil: description of six new species and new species records.

Six new species of Curtara are described, all with type-locality at Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Itatiaia municipality, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil: (1) Curtara (Curtara) andresi sp. nov. with the posterodorsal margin of the male pygofer forming a slightly sclerotized triangular projection and curved internally, style with apex rounded with dorsal spine, aedeagus with a pair of elongated falcate atrial processes, and shaft with a pair of short lateral subapical processes, directed ventrally; (2) Curtara (C.
