The ecology of anopheline species (Diptera, Culicidae) was studied in the vicinity of the Serra da Mesa Reservoir, State of Goiás, Brazil. Climatic factors and frequency of anopheline populations were analyzed. Bimonthly human-bait and Shannon trap captures were conducted for 36 consecutive months (January 1997 through December 1999).

Sobre la ecología social de las instituciones de educación superior en la Cañada oaxaqueña [PDF]
We make some observations regarding the competition between Universidad de la Ca\~nada (Unca) and other universities, using the Lotka-Volterra model, for the Informatics major, applying ideas introduced by McPherson in 1983. As a consequence, some strategies are suggested for Unca to adopt.

Sur les champs de vecteurs invariants sur l'espace tangent d'un espace symétrique [PDF]
Let $G$ be a real reductive connected Lie group and $\sigma$ an involution of $G$. Let $H$ denote the identity component of the group of fixed points of $\sigma$, $\mathfrak g$ the Lie algebra of $G$ and $\mathfrak q$ the -1 eigenspace of $\sigma$ in $\mathfrak g$. The group $H$ acts naturally on $\mathfrak q$ via the adjoint representation.

Emergence, self-organization and network efficiency in gigantic termite-nest-networks build using simple rules [PDF]
Termites, like many social insects, build nests of complex architecture. These constructions have been proposed to optimize different structural features. Here we describe the nest network of the termite Nasutitermes ephratae, which is among the largest nest-network reported for termites and show that it optimizes diverse parameters defining the ...

Changing Fashion Cultures [PDF]
The paper presents a novel concept that analyzes and visualizes worldwide fashion trends. Our goal is to reveal cutting-edge fashion trends without displaying an ordinary fashion style. To achieve the fashion-based analysis, we created a new fashion culture database (FCDB), which consists of 76 million geo-tagged images in 16 cosmopolitan cities.

A unified matrix model including both CCA and F matrices in multivariate analysis: the largest eigenvalue and its applications [PDF]
Let $\bbZ_{M_1\times N}=\bbT^{\frac{1}{2}}\bbX$ where $(\bbT^{\frac{1}{2}})^2=\bbT$ is a positive definite matrix and $\bbX$ consists of independent random variables with mean zero and variance one. This paper proposes a unified matrix model $$\bold{\bbom}=(\bbZ\bbU_2\bbU_2^T\bbZ^T)^{-1}\bbZ\bbU_1\bbU_1^T\bbZ^T,$$ where $\bbU_1$ and $\bbU_2$ are ...
