Atualmente, vários trabalhos abordam a aplicação de sistemas de reforço com o uso de FRPs (Fiber Reinforced Polymers) em elementos de concreto armado. Entretanto, a grande maioria dos trabalhos são compostos por ensaios de elementos reforçados logo após a cura do adesivo (a qual ocorre com aproximadamente 14 dias), desprezando-se ou negligenciando-se o comportamento a longo prazo desses sistemas de reforço. Além disso, a maioria dos ensaios são realizados em um único ambiente e não...

In Malpighiaceae, Hiptage represents one of the seven past dispersal events from the Neotropics to the Paleotropical region, being by far the most widely diversified and distributed genus of Paleotropical Malpighiaceae. In this study, we tested the monophyly of the current infrageneric classification of Hiptage with a dated and calibrated molecular phylogeny. We also reconstructed ancestral areas to elucidate which route led to the colonization of Southeast Asia by the most recent common ancestor (MRCA)...

Comprising 501 genera and around 14,000 species, Papilionoideae is not only the largest subfamily of Fabaceae (Leguminosae; legumes), but also one of the most extraordinarily diverse clades among angiosperms. Papilionoids are a major source of food and forage, are ecologically successful in all major biomes, and display dramatic variation in both floral architecture and plastid genome (plastome) structure. Plastid DNA-based phylogenetic analyses have greatly improved our understanding of relationships among the major groups of Papilionoideae,...
