The 3D Class acts as an interface between Moodle and Apple's Game Center, bringing users to play games while learning, and to learn while gaming. For the students enrolled in courses that are available in a Moodle server, the 3D Class can be used to access them from iOS, and MAc OsX enabled devices. The integration with the Game Center allows users to compete among other apps users. Even for the users that are not enrolled in any course, they can play the open quizzes, and score in the Gaming Center.

Physical appearance: 35,5 cm. The body is bluish gray, with an iridescent region on the sides of the neck. There is a large white region on the wings. Distribution: From Northeastern Brazil to Argentina. Habitat: Cerrado, caatinga, gallery forests, fields, crops and urban areas. Diet: Feeds on seeds and small fruits. Reproduction: The nest is made of loosely crossed sticks. The white eggs (1 or 2) are incubated by the couple. The hatchlings are fed on “pigeon’s milk”. Natural history: It is one of the largest species of pigeon in Brazil. After breeding it gathers in flocks for migration. It is so common in some places that may turn into a nuisance. Has been successfully conqu...

16cm. Identification: The male is practically unmistakably recognized for the fully barred body and a black crest in the head. The female is ferruginous and has a crest and is barred in the head. It is currently the only antshrike which lives in really urban and disturbed areas. It is worth reminding that this bird has only recently conquered the urban environment. In the early 80s the first records of this antshrike in large cities were so unexpected that they yielded notes in scientific papers. Like other antshrikes it lives in couples, leaping and flying from branch to branch, usually through the short trees’ canopy in search for the small arthropods it feeds on. In the breeding seas...

Membrane Attack Complex formation through interaction of its complement system constitutive parts. The complex is typically formed on the surface of intruding pathogenic bacteria through activation of the complement system, when C5 convertase cleaves a C5 molecule into C5a and C5b. It is composed of four complement proteins (C5b, C6, C7 and C8), which bind to the outer membrane surface, and of a fifth protein, C9, polymerizing into a ring-like structure, put across the membrane and allowing free diffusion through it. This disrupts the osmotic environment of the cell and kills it promptly.

Edge effect: periphery areas of forest fragments are more suceptive to external impacts, leading to environment degradation from the outside towards the inside.

The Biochemistrycrossword was constructed by the student authors of 1st year undergraduate medical course (MBBS) with inputs from the mentoring faculty. The purpose of the crossword is to make the learning of Biochemistry more interesting to MBBS students, promote reading and introduce to further websites to facilitate self-learning. Biochemistry crossword was constructed using mypuzzlermaker.com
