Article Synopsis
- The study examined the fatty acid profiles and persistent organic pollutant (POP) levels in humpback whales from different regions of the Southern Ocean, Chile, and Brazil.
- Significant differences were found in the fatty acid compositions, with whales in the Strait of Magellan showing a diet high in higher trophic level prey, while those from the Antarctic Peninsula and Brazil reflected a krill-based diet.
- Elevated concentrations of pollutants, especially PCBs, were observed in whales from the Strait of Magellan, indicating a connection between their dietary habits and exposure to contaminants.
The aim of this study is to assess the presence of MDP at various stages of the bonding procedure, enhance the adhesive and mechanical behavior of cemented zirconia ceramics. Fifty ceramic slices (15 × 15 × 2 mm) and 48 discs (Ø= 10 mm, 1 mm thickness) were prepared, sintered, air-abraded with aluminum oxide, and allocated considering: 1) microshear bond strength (µSBS) between ceramic slices and luting agent cylinders (height= 1 mm, Ø= 1.2 mm); 2) fatigue behavior, ceramic discs paired and bonded onto fiber-epoxy resin discs (Ø= 10 mm, 2.

However, there are few data on the process and efficiencies of oxic MES (OMES). In this study, we used the knallgas bacterium Kyrpidia spormannii to investigate biomass formation and energy efficiency of cathode-dependent growth.

Methods: New dosimetric scorecards were created to quantify the models' clinical intent.
We report data on morphological variation and behavior of the recently described watersnake Helicops boitata, previously known strictly from the holotype. Our data come from five new specimens fortuitously found in a private area near the type locality, in the Brazilian Pantanal wetlands. The expanded sample revealed polymorphism in at least two scalation features previously assumed as diagnostic of the species (i.
