In order to give visibility to scholars from around the world, the academic platform Research.com recently published a list of the best scientists by field, classified by their D index, which exclusively includes publications and citation data for an examined discipline. The list, which features scholars from more than three thousand universities and research agencies, shows each scientist's profile, the number of citations and publications and a list of their awards and achievements. In total, 15 UFSM researchers were highlighted in the ranking, and one of them occupies first place nationally. João Rocha is No. 1 in Brazil in the area of Biology and Biochemistry, with more than 32,800 citations and 778 publications. The other UFSM professors mentioned are from the areas of Biology and Biochemistry; Chemical; Electronics and Electrical Engineering; Environmental Sciences; Materials science; Plant Science and Agronomy; and Psychology. Research.com is one of the leading research portals for scientists. The aim of the academic platform is to inform teachers, researchers, master's and doctoral students about the progress of their research.
In addition, Reserch.com has updates on the latest conferences around the world and related job publications.In this process, the surface of the egg is analyzed. If, in this medium, no growth of microorganisms has occurred, the egg is considered sterile and the hatched larvae can be prepared for shipping, when the health professional receives and applies it. “Here in the laboratory, a portion of these eggs are always used to renew the colony”, says Silvia. Laboratory-created colony Colony detail The colony is where the flies live and mature. Distributed on shelves, at a temperature of 25ºC and an air humidity DM Databases of 70%, each colony is kept in PVC pipes, covered with polypropylene plastic bags. There, the insects are fed commercial pasty dog food, honey and water ad libitum. Some of the larvae are kept in the colony for renewal. After the three larval stages, it turns into a pupa in the sand and, from this stage, adult males or females are born, starting the cycle all over again. Fly feeding Fly in pupa stage The insect that is sent to treat the lesions is the sterilized larval stage of the fly (L1), almost invisible to the naked eye.
As it feeds, it becomes L2 and then L3 (larva 3). When it reaches this stage, which is already very visible, it will leave the food (injury), as it no longer needs it. At this point, it moves towards the surface of the wound, the opening of which must not be suffocated and extremely closed, as the larva needs to breathe as it is an aerobic animal. At this point it is removed. The phases of the fly Silvia points out that, in nature, the fly is a dirty animal, as it develops in decomposing organic matter. “When they pose in an environment like this, their entire family and all the stages that will come are contaminated,” she explains. What intrigues the professor is how resilient they are, as they can live in environments full of bacteria and fungi, such as hospital waste. “If it resists, it’s because it has substances that protect it. We are using this to our advantage”, explains the researcher. About the Pampa biome According to data from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), the Pampa is a shared biome that extends across Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, occupying a total area of 700 thousand square kilometers. Around two-thirds of Rio Grande do Sul's area is occupied by Pampa, an extensive area of natural countryside.
