Influence of relief on permanent preservation areas
Science of The Total Environment, 2016Many countries have environmental legislation to protecting natural resources on private property. In Brazil, the Brazilian Forestry Code determines specific areas to maintain with natural vegetation cover, known as areas of permanent preservation (APP). Currently, there are few studies that relate topographic variables on APP.

Relief of pain by electrical stimulation of the septal area
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1967Abstract The effect of deep cerebral stimulation was investigated in 6 cases of severe pain, most of which were due to terminal carcinomatosis. In only 1 case was a satisfactory result obtained, and in one other case some improvement was noted following stimulation. In view of the low probability of success, the procedure, although of interest, does
