REPRODUCTION AND POPULATION DYNAMICS OF DIDELPHIS AURITA WIED-NEUWIED (MAMMALIA: DIDELPHIMORPHIA) IN THE PERIURBAN ENVIRONMENT OF SANTA CATARINA ISLAND, IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

The various aspects of reproduction and population dynamics of Didelphis aurita were studied through capture-recapture on Santa Catarina Island, in Other southern Brazil.Surveys were carried out from April 1996 to March 1997.The study area was located near the stream of a swamp in a disturbed Atlantic Forest area.On 880 trap-nights, 31 opossums wer

The mechanics properties of brush seals are usually very complicated.Here, the contact force of a rotor-brush seal system was analyzed based on the bending deformation theory considering the Cultural Art interaction of eccentricity and flow induced force.The seal force expression was established by using the Bernoulli-Euler beam equation and superp
