As the Beat Goes on in Syria, is There an Exit Route?
Authors: Idahosa Osaretin , Ajebon Harrison C.
Published: November 2017

The UN Security Council unanimous Resolution 2254 (2015) endorsed a Peace Process for Syria on December 18, 2015. By this token the global body called on President Bashar-al- Assad and opposition groups to sheath their swords and allow a political settlement in the country. In context of the dynamics of the Syrian conflicts, this study looks at the workability of the resolution meant to reduce the cost of the war and deterioration of humanitarian conditions. The study reveals that after over half a decade of brutal mutual carnage (by both government and opposition forces) a top-bottom imposed peace process has lost its appeal. Rather, a bottom-top remedy that uses the cultural assets of the Syrian people to create a movement for peace and reconciliation in the country is urgently needed.

A Study on the Relationship between Money Supply and Macroeconomic Variables in China
Authors: He Yugang
Published: November 2017

Many scholars have examined the importance of the money supply to the macroeconomics in developed countries. However, few studies have explored this proposition in developing countries. So, in this paper, annual series data from 2000 to 2016 is applied to analyze the relationship between the money supply (M2) and the macroeconomic variables (the real GDP, the inflation rate & the interest rate) under the vector auto regression (VAR) model in China. The purpose of this paper is to verify the impact of these variables on the money supply in China. After performing an empirical analysis, conclusions can be obtained that an increase in the real GDP can result in an increase in the money supply; Also, an increase in the inflation rate can lead to an increase in the money supply; Conversely, an increase in the interest rate can cause a decrease in the money supply. Therefore, via adjusting the change of real GDP, inflation rate and interest rate, a better control of the money supply can be performed for the policy-makers in China.

Effect of Cycloplegia on Blur Perception Thresholds as Measured by Source Method
Authors: Petrova Anete , Lulle Žanete , Cikmačs Pēteris , Kassaliete Evita
Published: November 2017

One of the advantages of a source method over observer method in blur perception measurements is better control of a stimulus blur level, which is achieved with computerised image processing unlike the observer method that requires optical defocusing of the observer. The aim of this study was to determine if paralysation of accommodation has effect on blur perception thresholds, thereby evaluating its necessity in such experiments. Blur perception thresholds (just noticeable blur, clear image, recognition, and non-resolvable blur thresholds) were evaluated with (using cycloplegia) and without paralysed accommodation to determine effect on blur perception. A computerised low-pass spatial frequency filter was used to process images of Landolt rings and gradually increase the blur level from the stage of clear image to the stage of unrecognisable orientation of Landolt ring opening. Ascending and descending psychophysical methods were used to evaluate the previously mentioned blur perception thresholds. Results for 10 participants revealed no significant effect of cycloplegia on any of the determined blur perception thresholds. Therefore, it may be considered that blur perception measurements with source method can be done without cycloplegia.

Published: November 2017

The current study reports on a novel computerised colour vision test employing static and dynamic stimuli. The aim of the study was to assess if static and dynamic stimuli result in comparable chromatic discrimination thresholds when participant’s age is taken into account. Participants (n = 20) were 21 to 77 years old, had normal colour vision and no history of any eye disease. They all participated in two sessions estimating chromatic sensitivity with static and dynamic stimuli, respectively, with six directions in colour space varying either along the red-green (RG) or yellow- blue (YB) directions. We found no significant differences in chromatic thresholds along a tritan axis obtained with static and dynamic stimuli. However, along protan and deitan axes, chromatic thresholds were lower if estimated using static stimuli than those estimated using the dynamic stimuli. As anticipated, chromatic sensitivity decreased with age and with greater chromatic sensitivity loss along the tritan confusion line. Research results suggest that differences between chromatic thresholds measured with static and dynamic stimuli become more apparent with increasing age of study participant.

A Bayesian hierarchical model for identifying significant polygenic effects while controlling for confounding and repeated measures

Published: November 2017

Genomic studies of plants often seek to identify genetic factors associated with desirable traits. The process of evaluating genetic markers one by one (i.e. a marginal analysis) may not identify important polygenic and environmental effects. Further, confounding due to growing conditions/factors and genetic similarities among plant varieties may influence conclusions. When developing new plant varieties to optimize yield or thrive in future adverse conditions (e.g. flood, drought), scientists seek a complete understanding of how the factors influence desirable traits. Motivated by a study design that measures rice yield across different seasons, fields, and plant varieties in Indonesia, we develop a regression method that identifies significant genomic factors, while simultaneously controlling for field factors and genetic similarities in the plant varieties. Our approach develops a Bayesian maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimator under a generalized double Pareto shrinkage prior. Through a hierarchical representation of the proposed model, a novel and computationally efficient expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is developed for variable selection and estimation. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated through simulation and is used to analyze rice yields from a pilot study conducted by the Indonesian Center for Rice Research.
100 yearsin situdiffraction
Authors: Kohlmann Holger
Published: November 2017

The X-ray diffraction experiment of iron at temperatures up to 1000°C, which Albert Hull conducted 100 years ago, in 1917, may be regarded as the firstin situdiffraction experiment. Ever since, diffraction methods matured and became widely used and powerful tools for materials characterization and structure determination. Considerable progress was made in radiation source brilliance and diffraction instrumentation, enabling time-dependentin situstudies of a wide range of compounds and processes today. In this contribution, we will give a brief historical sketch of the firstin situdiffraction experiment and present some modern-day examples, highlighting the impact of this investigation technique to solid-state sciences.

The composition of complexes 1–3 is discussed on the basis of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopy, and the crystal structures of 1 and 3 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The absorption and emission spectra show that the [Ir(pba)2(S^S)] complexes may be effective candidates as green-emitting phosphorescent materials. The stability of the three cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes towards different transition metal ions was also investigated in acetonitrile-water solvent.

Published: November 2017

Transparent-yellow single crystals of YbF2 were obtained as only crystalline product from the solid-state reaction of Yb and teflon designed to yield ‘Yb3C3F2’ in addition to some amorphous black material. The first single-crystal structure determination of YbF2 (cubic space group Fm3̅m, CaF2-type structure, a=559.46(16) pm; R1=1.2%, wR2=3.2%) was the starting point to compare isostructural binary fluorides MF2 and hydrides MH2 (M=Ca, Yb, Eu, Sr and Ba) exhibiting an as-yet unexplained small volume per formula unit for YbH2.

Berkelmans, DM, Dalbo, VJ, Kean, CO, Milanović, Z, Stojanović, E, Stojiljković, N, and Scanlan, AT. Heart rate monitoring in basketball: applications, player responses, and practical recommendations. J Strength Cond Res 32(8): 2383–2399, 2018—The aims of this review were to collate the existing literature encompassing heart rate (HR) monitoring in basketball to (a) identify the applications of HR measurement; (b) report HR responses in male and female players during training and game-play; (c) evaluate use of current HR-based training load models; and (d) provide recommendations for future research and best practice approaches for basketball practitioners. Heart rate monitoring in basketball carries 3 primary applications: (a) monitoring exercise intensity; (b) assessing player fatigue status; and (c) quantifying internal training load. When interpreting the available training and game-play HR data in basketball players, key differences have been observed between playing positions and playing levels. Sex- and age-based differences in HR responses during basketball training and game-play are apparent across separate studies; however, further research exploring HR responses in wider player groups is needed, especially in female and junior players. There is also a lack of research directly comparing player HR responses during training and game-play to ascertain the effectiveness of different drills in preparing players for competition. Heart rate–based models have been frequently used to quantify the internal training load in basketball players, including Banister's Training Impulse (TRIMP), Lucia's TRIMP, and Edwards' Summated-Heart-Rate-Zones (SHRZ). The SHRZ model seems to hold practical advantages and better detect changes in player responses across training cycles compared with other approaches. Practical outcomes of this review center on recommendations for position-specific training plans, drills to promote desired cardiovascular stress, analysis of HR outcome measures, and ideal training load monitoring approaches.

Rukovođenje je kompleksni proces. Upravljanje i rukovođenje predstavljaju temeljne funkcije menadžmenta koje se realiziraju kroz četiri skupine poslova: planiranje, organiziranje, vođenje i vrednovanje. Kvaliteta škole postaje ovisna o ravnatelju, njegovoj osposobljenosti za organizaciju rada škole njegovu stručno-pedagoškom vođenju i značajkama njegove osobnosti. Ravnatelj je odgovoran za razvoj školskog ozračja i međuljudskih odnosa. Da bi uspješno ostvario rukovodne funkcije, ravnatelj mora imati odgovarajuće kompetencije. Vođenje, školsko ozračje, organizacijska učinkovitost i zadovoljstvo poslom predstavljaju važne konstrukte u osnovnim školama. Cilj je u ovom radu ukazat na značaj obrazovnog menadžmenta, a posebno na utjecaj stilova vođenja na kvalitetno pedagoško upravljanje školom.
Razvoj i aktualno stanje alternativnih pedagoških koncepata u Sloveniji
Authors: Protner Edvard
Published: November 2017

Pod nazivom alternativni pedagoški koncepti mislimo na napor usmjeren za reformu škole i teoretskih koncepcija, koji su također poznati pod imenom reformska pedagogija, progresivna pedagogija, prijedlog nove škole itd. Prijelaz iz 19. u 20. stoljeće obilježilo je vrijeme izrazite pluralizacije pedagoške misli. Sklonost novim pedagoškim trendovima značajno se povećala između dvaju svjetskih ratova. Najizrazitiji predstavnik bio je Anton Osterc – njegove polemike s predstavnicima drugih pedagoških smjerova pomažu nam oslikati različite teorijske pozicije tog razdoblja. Ideje reformske pedagogije podupirala je Pedagoška centrala u Mariboru. Bez obzira na napore u Sloveniji, u tom razdoblju nije zaživjela bilo koja eksperimentalna škola. Pedagoška doktrina nakon 2. svjetskog rata odlučno je odbacila ideje reformske pedagogije. Glavni akter kritike bio je Vlado Schmidt koji je u reformskoj, odnosno progresivnoj pedagogiji (pedologiji, kako ju je nazvao), prepoznavao tipične elemente buržoaske pedagogije – s reformsko-pedagoškim idejama je povezivao neodgovarajuće znanje djeteta i neprikladnu odgojnu orijentaciju, koje su u odnosu prema prirodi djeteta zanemarivale društvene ciljeve odgoja. Dijelovi reformsko-pedagoških ideja na području Slovenije su se započeli ponovno uvoditi unutar samoupravne pedagogije i eksperimenta popustljivog odgoja. Prva alternativna škola u Sloveniji s važećim programom, koja je bila ustanovljena 1992. godine – jest Waldorfska škola u Ljubljani. Njeno ustanovljenje omogućila je nova društvena situacija nezavisnosti i promjene političkog sistema. Uspostava novih alternativnih škola omogućilo je školsko zakonodavstvo iz ljeta 1996. Trenutno u Sloveniji djeluju četiri alternativne osnovne škole.
Emergence of fosfomycin resistance among isolates of Escherichia coli harboring extended-spectrum and AmpC β-lactamases
Authors: Bahramian Aghil , Eslami Gita , Hashemi Ali , Tabibi Ali , Heidary Mohsen
Published: November 2017

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common type of infectious disease globally. The aim of this study was to detect the frequency of fosA3 and fosC2 genes in extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and blaDHA, blaCMY-2, and blaCMY-42 genes in AmpC β-lactamases-producing isolates of Escherichia coli. In total, 120 isolates of E. coli were collected from three teaching hospitals between March 2014 and February 2015. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were carried out by disk diffusion method. The presence of blaCMY-2, blaCMY-42, blaDHA, fosA3, and fosC2 genes was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing. Of the 120 strains, 92 (76.6%) were identified as ESBL producers, 30 (25%) were determined as AmpC β-lactamase producers, and 24 (20%) had both ESBL and AmpC β-lactamase enzymes. Imipenem, fosfomycin, and nitrofurantoin had the best effect against isolates of E. coli. PCR assay demonstrated that the frequency of blaCMY-2, blaCMY-42, and blaDHA genes among AmpC β-lactamases-producing strains were 39%, 1%, and 17.5%, respectively. This study reports the first detection of fosfomycin resistance in Iran. This study indicated the increasing prevalence of UTI isolates of E. coli-harboring ESBL and AmpC β-lactamases genes in Iran. Therefore, due to the high rate of blaDHA and blaCMY genes and emergence of fosfomycin-resistant E. coli isolates, we recommend continuous monitoring of antibiotic resistance as well as attention to guidelines of infection controls.
Hepatocyte-specific contrast agent-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography: perioperative evaluation of the biliary tree

Published: November 2017

Abstract A large number of gadolinium chelates have recently been tested in clinical trials. Some of those have already been approved for clinical use in the United States and Europe. Thus, new diagnostic perspectives have been incorporated into magnetic resonance imaging studies. Among such gadolinium chelates are hepatobiliary-specific contrast agents (HSCAs), which, due to their property of being selectively taken up by hepatocytes and excreted by the biliary ducts, have been widely used for the detection and characterization of focal hepatic lesions. In comparison with conventional magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC), HSCA-enhanced MRC provides additional information, with higher spatial resolution and better anatomic evaluation of a non-dilated biliary tree. A thorough anatomic assessment of the biliary tree is crucial in various hepatic surgical procedures, such as complex resection in patients with colorectal cancer and living-donor liver transplantation. However, the use of HSCA-enhanced MRC is still limited, because of a lack of data in the literature and the poor familiarity of radiologists regarding its main indications. This pictorial essay aims to demonstrate the use of HSCA-enhanced MRC, with particular emphasis on anatomical analysis of the biliary tree, clinical applications, and the most important imaging findings.
Análise dos programas das coligações majoritárias apresentados às eleições de 2014 e a Reforma Sanitária Brasileira
Authors: Jacobina André Teixeira
Published: November 2017

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a visão das três coligações mais votadas nas eleições presidenciais em 2014, buscando identificar aproximações e distanciamentos ao projeto da Reforma Sanitária Brasileira (RSB). Utiliza como fontes os programas registrados no Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) e suas atualizações disponibilizadas nas páginas eletrônicas das candidaturas e as propostas do movimento da RSB, sistematizadas no Relatório da VIII Conferência Nacional de Saúde, de 1986. Conclui-se que os programas das três coligações, com variações, aderem à perspectiva neodesenvolvimentista, distinta das perspectivas liberal, social-democrata e socialista. Consideram que o Estado deve intervir para garantir a expansão do consumo e a reprodução do capital, concepção diversa da RSB que defende o direito à saúde e o acesso universal aos serviços, com estatização progressiva do sistema de saúde, evidenciando-se o distanciamento entre os programas apresentados e os princípios, diretrizes e valores que embasam o processo de RSB.

Published: November 2017

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é o de relatar pesquisa que analisou o posicionamento das Entidades Médicas (EM) sobre política e sistema de saúde no Brasil em 2015 e 2016. Realizou-se o acompanhamento, processamento e classificação das notícias publicadas em três sites oficiais de EM, totalizando 648 publicações. A maior parte das publicações se encontrava no Conselho Federal de Medicina (CFM) e na Federação Brasileira dos Médicos (Fenam), sendo 44% em cada site. O Programa Mais Médicos e o Movimento Médico foram os temas mais frequentes nas publicações, os quais manifestaram oposição das entidades às políticas estabelecidas pelo governo federal antes do impeachment. Os resultados indicam que as EM defendem interesses corporativos, distanciando-se dos princípios e diretrizes da Reforma Sanitária Brasileira.

Published: November 2017

RESUMO Estudo sócio-histórico, utilizando o referencial teórico de Bourdieu, que analisou as condições de possibilidade para a construção da estratégia de distribuição universal de Antirretrovirais (ARV) no Brasil e as transformações do Espaço Aids. A oferta de ARV não era uma proposta inicial e resultou da pressão dos movimentos sociais, mas também do campo médico e da mídia. Mais tarde, a partir da articulação entre militantes da Reforma Sanitária, foi elaborado o projeto de lei que proporcionou uma situação diferenciada de acesso a ARV, impôs importantes transformações no Espaço Aids e sepultou a possibilidade de uma política de controle da Aids sem acesso ou com acesso restrito a ARV.

Published: November 2017

RESUMO Objetivo: sistematizar as potencialidades e desafios da Teoria do Reconhecimento, de Axel Honneth, e refletir sobre eles como subsídio às pesquisas em saúde. Método: trata-se de artigo de reflexão que toma o potencial da incorporação da categoria reconhecimento na propositura honnethiana para pesquisa, compreensão, exercício e gestão do cuidado em saúde. Resultados: o processo de reconhecimento favorece a exploração e a compreensão das relações de poder e respeito, sobretudo em termos do conflito a elas circunscrito. Dessa forma, indica subsídios para diagnósticos e núcleos estruturantes para a superação de práticas opressivas e desiguais, com desdobramentos para lidar com situações de insegurança, fragilidades na autoestima e vulnerabilidades nas interações entre os sujeitos, que configuram desafios contemporâneos. Conclusão: na exploração científica do cuidado, gestão e políticas públicas em saúde, este referencial teórico pode auxiliar na visibilidade do contexto e seus nós críticos, para favorecer a autonomia e a dignidade humana, relevantes para as relações interpessoais nos processos de cuidado, com contribuições profícuas à qualificação da atenção à saúde.

ABSTRACT Object-based change detection is a powerful analysis tool for remote sensing data, but few studies consider the potential of temporal semivariogram indices for mapping land-cover changes using object-based approaches. In this study, we explored and evaluated the performance of semivariogram indices calculated from remote sensing imagery, using the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) to detect changes in spatial features related to land cover caused by a disastrous 2015 dam failure in Brazil’s Mariana district. We calculated the NDVI from Landsat 8 images acquired before and after the disaster, then created objects by multiresolution segmentation analysis based on post-disaster images. Experimental semivariograms were computed within the image objects and semivariogram indices were calculated and selected by principal component analysis. We used the selected indices as input data to a support vector machine algorithm for classifying change and no-change classes. The selected semivariogram indices showed their effectiveness as input data for object-based change detection analysis, producing highly accurate maps of areas affected by post-dam-failure flooding in the region. This approach can be used in many other contexts for rapid and accurate assessment of such land-cover changes.

ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) interact symbiotically with most plant species, facilitating revegetation of areas under rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inoculum potential, density, and diversity of AMF spores in five environments, as well as the relation of species with soil properties. Soil samples were collected in five environments in a mining area and its surroundings in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais (Brazil): tailings piles in rehabilitation with grass, canga, Cerrado, native forest, and eucalyptus plantation; these samples were subjected to chemical and physical analyses. Spores were directly extracted from field samples and from trap cultures (TCs) established in two locations in the Southeast and South regions of Brazil for taxonomic identification of the species. Species richness, the Shannon diversity index (H’), and equitability were determined. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to identify soil properties that most influenced AMF occurrence. Spore density showed no significant difference among the environments. A total of 59 AMF species were found. This is the first report of the occurrence of Acaulospora nivalis and Acaulospora alpina in Brazil. Higher H’ and species richness in the field were found in tailings piles and lower in canga. Canga showed higher inoculum potential. The development of TCs in two locations allowed a wider diversity of AMF species to be captured. Environments of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero are hotspots of AMF diversity, and the soil pH and exchangeable S and P contents are the properties that best explain the distribution of AMF species.

Abstract This paper provides keys, illustrations, short descriptions, and voucher specimen citations for the ferns and lycophytes of Acre, Brazil. We recognize a total of 212 species in 66 genera and 28 families. Of these, the lycophytes are represented by 14 species, 4 genera, and 2 families, and the ferns by 8 varieties, 1 subspecies, 198 species, 62 genera, and 26 families. The total represents an increase of 22 species and two varieties compared to a checklist published in 2009. The six most species-rich genera are Adiantum (21 spp.), Asplenium (14), Selaginella (12), Trichomanes (11), Lindsaea, and Microgramma (9 each). None of the species treated here are endemic to Acre. A new combination is made for Meniscium chrysodioides Fée var. goyazense.

Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effect of temperatures during the phase of microsporogenesis on spikelet sterility of paddy rice and identified genotypes tolerant to low temperatures at this growth stage. The inbreds SC681, SC491, and SC676 and the cultivars Epagri 109 and SCS116 Satoru were assessed. The genotypes were submitted for three days in a growth chamber to five temperatures at microsporogenesis: 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 oC. For each tested temperature, a control was kept in the greenhouse under environmental conditions. After harvest, full and empty spikelets were counted and weighed and the percentage of spikelet sterility was determined. Data were evaluated by variance analysis using the F test. Averages were compared by Tukey’s test and regression analysis. The highest spikelet sterilities were observed when the genotypes were exposed to the temperatures of 9 and 12 oC. Genotype spikelet sterility was similar to that of the control at 21 ºC. The inbred SC 676 presented higher tolerance to lower temperatures is therefore potentially suited to generate a cultivar with adequate agronomic performance in rice growing areas prone to cold conditions at microsporogenesis.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate leaf gas exchanges of sweet corn as a function of defoliation when submitted to different irrigation depths. The experimental design was randomized blocks in split-plot scheme, with four irrigation depths in the plots [50, 75, 100 and 125% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc)], and three levels of defoliation in the subplots (0%, control; 35%, removal of four fully expanded leaves; 100%, total removal of the leaves - section of the aerial part) with three replicates. Defoliation was manually performed when the plant had four fully expanded leaves. It was verified that the dephs of irrigation and defoliation levels affect leaf gas exchanges in sweet corn plants, allowing the conclusion that the plant tends to activate a mechanism of photosynthetic compensation, when subjected to leaf stress, which can vary according to the degree of severity and water availability to which it is submitted. The most expressive values of gas exchanges in sweet corn plants that did not have defoliation were generally observed at irrigation depths estimated between 87 and 99% ETc and, in the treatments with defoliation, regardless of the level, at irrigation depth of 125% ETc.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to use computational fluids dynamics (CFD) to evaluate hygiene and comfort conditions in function of temperature level and ammonia (NH3) concentration during the night in commercial poultry houses used in Brazil and countries with tropical and subtropical climates. Four models with different curtain heights and different air inlet and outlet positions were used, adopting the open building typology without thermal insulation. The validated CFD model did not present statistical differences from the experimental data, making it possible to use this model to predict the behavior in the four proposed cases. This model can be used to improve the internal conditions of the poultry facilities during the night and could be an important tool to reduce energy consumption and generate better conditions for animal production of chicks over 21 days old.

Abstract Introduction Human identification is considered one of the major steps concerning missing people. The Forensic Anthropology Sector of Legal Medical Institutes identifies corpses. Forensic dentistry and DNA tests stand out among the existing standard tests. Objective This article aimed to evaluate human identification effectiveness through forensic dental examination performed in the forensic anthropology sector in a Forensic Medical Institute, comparing them with DNA analyses. Methodology This is a cross-sectional study using secondary data available in the department´s database, from 2008 to 2014, concerning identification procedures using forensic dentistry and DNA techniques. Result The analysis of the examinations eligible to this study (241) showed that DNA analysis was the method used for identification in 79.3% of the cases and forensic dental examinations were used in 20.7% of the cases. As for the type of biological material used during these examinations, unidentified corpses corresponded to 131 cases (53.9%), skeleton structures corresponded to 109 cases (44.9%) and there were 3 cases of body segments (1.2%). When analyzing the time spent to complete the tests, dental examinations were faster than DNA tests. The time spent for forensic dental examination does not depend on the type of dental documentation evaluated. Conclusion The analysis of the results in this study showed that human identification through forensic dentistry is effective, rapid and less costly, contributing to greater agility in solving issues related to locating missing people.

ABSTRACT: Bugs such as Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) and Dichelops melacanthus (Dallas) are considered the main insect pests of wheat crop in Brazil. The use of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) may be an alternative for the management of these insects in the crop. The objective of this work was to verify the pathogenicity of different isolates of M. anisopliae on adults of N. viridula and D. melacanthus under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. In the laboratory, isolates 05RA, 11RA, 08RA and 02RA were obtained from N. viridula and D. melacanthus infested with M. anisopliae. Also, a high pathogenicity (100% of mortality) of both species was recorded in a bioassay of the topical application 8 Days After Application (DAA). However, compared to the other isolates, the 08RA isolate showed the highest pathogenicity in a shorter time interval for N. viridula (Mean Time “MT” = 2.8 days) and D. melacanthus (MT = 4.0 days). Under greenhouse conditions, the 08RA isolate provided a mortality of 44.9% (N. viridula) and 35.7% (D. melacanthus) in the same evaluation period. However, at 14 DAA, the mortality was 100% for both species, with the MT values of N. viridula and D. melacanthus being obtained at 8 days and 10 days, respectively. The fungus M. anisopliae is a promising alternative for the control of adult N. viridula and D. melacanthus in wheat crop.
