O artigo se concentrou em investigar as experiências ambientais da antiga sociedade da Ilha de Páscoa, a fim de que estas pudessem iluminar a análise da sociedade moderna em seu relacionamento com a natureza nos dias atuais. Isso demandou, inicialmente, consultas ao livro Colapso, de Jared Diamond, que detalhou magistralmente a história de Páscoa, além de pesquisa bibliográfica sobre processos sociais de competição, cooperação e conflito. Revelou-se que a sociedade de Páscoa, mesmo em períodos mais dramáticos de sua crise ambiental, não ignorou a competição, competindo de maneira exacerbada, como se não percebesse que era este comportamento que a conduzia para o colapso. Por força principalmente do capitalismo e do industrialismo, a sociedade moderna trilha caminho muito parecido àquele escolhido pelos pascoenses, com indivíduos e coletividades competindo fervorosamente, desta vez por capital, impondo com isso altos custos à natureza, sem aparentemente respeitar seus limites físicos. Palavras-Chave: Sociedade Antiga. Colapso. Crise Ecológica. Meio Ambiente. ABSTRACT The article focused on investigating the environmental experiences of the ancient society of Easter Island, so that they could illuminate the analysis of modern society in its relationship with nature today. This initially required consultation with the book Colapso, by Jared Diamond, which masterfully detailed the history of Easter, in addition to bibliographical research on social processes of competition, cooperation and conflict. It was revealed that Easter society, even in the most dramatic periods of its environmental crisis, did not ignore competition, competing in an exacerbated manner, as if it did not realize that it was this behavior that led it to collapse. Mainly due to the capitalism and industrialism, the modern society trails a path very similar to the one chosen by the Easterists, with individuals and collectivities competing fervently, this time for the capital, thus imposing high costs to nature, without apparently respecting its physical limits. Keywords: Ancient Society. Collapse. Ecological Crisis. Environment.

Cardisoma guanhumi is a non-abundant, semi-terrestrial crab that lives mainly in apicuns. This environment is smaller and less impacted in comparison with mangrove forests. This study aims to investigate the spatial relation between apicuns and mangroves as a habitat extent of C. guanhumi along the Brazilian coast and its implications on fishery management and conservation status of this species in Brazil. The study was based on apicum and mangrove extent maps of the Brazilian coast. The maps were analyzed based on variations in latitude and environmental and socio-political aspects. Along the Brazilian coast, we found 11,721 km2 of mangroves and 402 km2 of apicuns. The habitat of C. guanhumi varied greatly with latitude and is interdependent of mangrove ecosystem. This latitudinal gradient and the apicum-mangrove relation suggest the need for different management strategies of this fishery species along the Brazilian coast. Such strategies should be used to maintain the population of C. guanhumi in sizes that guarantee its conservation and recovery aiming to remove this species from the category of vulnerable in the Brazilian red list of threatened species.

International audience; Gender-based violence occurs in the context of Brazilian and French Vocational and Technological Education (TVET). Given this problem, this paper aims to map research on gender-based violence in TVET in digital repositories in Brazil and in France. Methodologically, we resorted to Creswell (2010) to employ the state of knowledge. Theoretically, the work of Cisne (2018), Cisne and Santos (2018), Delphy (2005), Federici (2017; 2019), Saffioti (2004) underpin the discussion. The results point to the scarcity of research on the topic. Moreover, the study showed the existence of the following research themes: the sexual division in school paths, the reproduction of gender stereotypes, the invisibility of psychic suffering, the strategies of neutralization of the feminine in predominantly male courses, the coping tactics set in motion by women students of technical courses in Brazil and France. The conclusion points to the need for a better epistemological circumscription of the object "gender violence" and the possibilities of new comparative studies between Brazil and France, given the similarities in the history and organization of TVET in both countries.; La violencia de género se da en el contexto de la Educación Profesional y Tecnológica (EPT) brasileña y francesa.

In tropical forests, plant individuals share mutualistic partners (pollinators or seed dispersers), yet we have little understanding of the factors affecting these individual interaction patterns. We used a seed dispersal individual-based network describing interactions between individuals of a palm species and bird species to investigate how intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of individual plants influence the network structure. We evaluated if average canopy height, number of fruits, distance to forest gap and habitat type influence the role of palm individuals in the network. From 102 palms, 62 individuals had their seeds dispersed at least once: 17 individual palms in the restinga, 15 in the lowland and 30 in the pre-montane habitat. Twelve bird species were recorded dispersing Euterpe edulis seeds. No palm characteristics influenced interaction patterns in the network, characterized by the level of centrality of each palm. At the network level, modularity with qualitative data was reproduced by the null models which consider the variation in the number and distribution across interactions. Three of the seven identified modules were associated with a particular habitat. Indeed, habitat type explained 50% of network modularity. Habitat association with modularity was driven by differences in species composition across habitats. Palm individuals did not differ greatly in central positions, indicating that bird species are not selecting palm individuals by their characteristics. When using the weighted network, modularity level was higher than expected by the number of interactions, and frequency of interactions was positively correlated with canopy height. Our results suggest that the organization of this individual-based network is mostly driven by habitat type. We hypothesize that extrinsic characteristics, such as habitat type, may affect the network organization of populations of sessile organisms with potentially unanticipated consequences to ecological and evolutionary dynamics.

International audience; Mathematical morphology is a useful theory of nonlinear operators widely used for image processing and analysis. Despite the successful application of morphological operators for binary and gray-scale images, extending them to vector-valued images is not straightforward because there are no unambiguous orderings for vectors. Among the many approaches to multivalued mathematical morphology, those based on total orders are particularly promising. Morphological operators based on total orders do not produce the so-called false-colors. On the downside, they often introduce irregularities in the output image. Although the irregularity issue has a rigorous mathematical formulation, we are not aware of an efficient method to quantify it. In this paper, we propose to quantify the irregularity of a vector-valued morphological operator using the Wasserstein metric. The Wasserstein metric yields the minimal transport cost for transforming the input into the output image. We illustrate by examples how to quantify the irregularity of vector-valued morphological operators using the Wasserstein metric.

We describe the first species of Lentinula from Africa, Lentinula madagasikarensis sp. nov. The new taxon, which was collected from central Madagascar, is strikingly similar to L. edodes, the shiitake mushroom. A BLAST search using ITS sequences from L. madagasikarensis as the query retrieves a mix of Lentinula, Gymnopus, Marasmiellus, and other members of Omphalotaceae as the top hits. A 28S phylogeny of the Omphalotaceae confirms placement of L. madagasikarensis within Lentinula. An ITS phylogeny places L. madagasikarensis as the sister group of L. aciculospora, which is a neotropical species. Lentinula madagasikarensis is characterized by robust basidiomata with vinaceous pilei, prominent floccose scales near the pileus margin, florets of sphaeropedunculate cheilocystidia, and subcylindrical basidiospores. This report constitutes a 4 000-mile, trans-oceanic range extension for Lentinula.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01 Due to their greater flexibility in heating and high productivity, continuous tunnel-type ovens have become the best option for industrial processes. The geometric optimization of ovens to better take advantage of the heat transfer mechanisms by convection and thermal radiation is increasingly researched; with the search for designs that combine lower fuel consumption, greater efficiency and competitiveness, and lower costs. In this sense, this work studied the influence of height on heat exchanges by radiation and convection and other flow parameters to define the best geometric height for the real oven under study. From the dimensions and real operating conditions of continuous tunnel-type ovens were built five numerical models of parametric variation, which were simulated with the free and open-source software OpenFOAM®. The turbulent forced convection regime was characterized in all models. The use of greater heights in the ovens increased and intensified the recirculation regions, reduced the rates of heat transfer by thermal radiation, and reduced the losses of heat by convection. The order of magnitude of heat exchanges by radiation proved to be much higher than heat exchanges by convection, confirming the results of the main references in the technical-scientific literature. It was concluded that the use of ovens with a lower height provides significant increases in the thermal radiation heat transfer rates.

The main purpose of this work is to classify the pairs of maps (f, g) which can be deformed by fibrewise homotopy over S1 to a coincidence-free pair (f′, g′) , f′, g′: M(ϕ1) → M(ϕ2). In general, the classification of such pairs of maps is equivalent to finding solutions for an equation in the free group π2(T, T- 1) , called the main equation. In certain situations, it is appropriate to study the main equation in the abelianization of π2(T, T- 1) or on some quotients of this group, since, if the equation in one of these quotients does not admit solution, then the original equation also does not admit solution. In this case, it is not possible to obtain the desired deformability.

In this work, temperature and exposure time-dependent scintillation of the Na9[Eu(W5O18)2]·14H2O sample under X-ray excitation were evaluated. Light emission intensity decreases along with X-ray exposure time, probably due to electronic defects at (W5O18)6- groups, leading to a lower efficiency of the LMCT (O→W) process, which is determinant in the scintillation mechanism of this material. After X-ray exposition, there is a partial recovery of the initial emission intensity, indicating that defects created are reversible. With temperature increasing, changes in the emission spectra evidence the decreasing of the local symmetry around the Eu3+ ions, caused by reticular vibration and dehydration process. The luminescence intensity dependence with temperature suggests the possibility to use this material as molecular thermometer in two different temperatures ranges.

Nanocrystalline Y2O3:Eu3+ 1.0 mol% powders were prepared by Pechini method and thermal treated at 700–1100 °C. The thermal treatment temperature has influence on the crystallite sizes of Y2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystals and, consequently, on the structural and electronic defects concentration, which contributes to nonradiative recombination routes in scintillation materials. This relationship between the crystallite sizes and scintillation properties was investigated by X-ray diffraction and X-ray excited optical luminescence measurements.

The (153591) 2001 SN263 asteroid system, target of the first Brazilian interplanetary space mission, is one of the known three triple systems within the population of NEAs. One of the mission objectives is to collect data about the formation of this system. The analysis of these data will help in the investigation of the physical and dynamical structures of the components (Alpha, Beta and Gamma) of this system, in order to find vestiges related to its origin. In this work, we assume the irregular shape of the 2001 SN263 system components as uniform density polyhedra and computationally investigate the gravitational field generated by these bodies. The goal is to explore the dynamical characteristics of the surface and environment around each component. Then, taking into account the rotational speed, we analyze their topographic features through the quantities geometric altitude, tilt, geopotential, slope, surface accelerations, among others. Additionally, the investigation of the environment around the bodies made it possible to construct zero-velocity curves, which delimit the location of equilibrium points. The Alpha component has a peculiar number of 12 equilibrium points, all of them located very close to its surface. In the cases of Beta and Gamma, we found four equilibrium points not so close to their surfaces. Then, performing numerical experiments around their equilibrium points, we identified the location and size of just one stable region, which is associated with an equilibrium point around Beta. Finally, we integrated a spherical cloud of particles around Alpha and identified the location on the surface of Alpha were the particles have fallen., Comment: 22 pages, 16 figures

International audience; Synthetic conditions were evaluated to intercalate norbixin into layered double hydroxides (LDH). Norbixin was isolated from a hydrosoluble commercial annatto extract. LDH samples comprising M2+/Al3+ (M = Mg, Zn) were synthesized by coprecipitation and characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis coupled to mass spectrometry, vibrational spectroscopies, and solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. Radical scavenging activity of LDH hybrids was monitored by electron paramagnetic resonance towards the stable radical DPPH (1,1-diphenyl2-picrylhydrazyl). LDH hosts presented more than 50 wt.% of norbixin and d-spacing (003) values of about 2.5 or 3.0 nm depending of the cation LDH composition. Vibrational spectra assignment (supported by density functional theory calculations) confirmed the chemical integrity of norbixin after intercalation into LDH. The inorganic layers were found to enhance the thermal stability of norbixin upon intercalation. The free radical scavenging capacity of norbixin was retained when immobilized into LDH. Considering that zinc and magnesium-LDH matrices are biocompatible and that norbixin presents biological activity, the hybrid materials appear as promising systems for biomedical assessment

Local polarization of magnetic materials has become a well-known and widely used method for storing binary information. Numerous applications in our daily life such as credit cards, computer hard drives, and the popular magnetic drawing board toy, rely on this principle. In this work, we review the recent advances on the magnetic recording of inhomogeneous magnetic landscapes produced by superconducting films. We summarize the current compelling experimental evidence showing that magnetic recording can be applied for imprinting in a soft magnetic layer the flux trajectory taking place in a superconducting layer at cryogenic temperatures. This approach enables the ex situ observation at room temperature of the imprinted magnetic flux landscape obtained below the critical temperature of the superconducting state. The undeniable appeal of the proposed technique lies in its simplicity and the potential to improve the spatial resolution, possibly down to the scale of a few vortices.

In Brazil, the main aetiological agent of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) is Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis, and Nyssomyia neivai is one of its main vectors in São Paulo state and other areas of South America. Similar to other haematophagous insects, sand flies use volatile compounds called kairomones to locate their hosts for blood meals. A possible increase in the attractiveness of hosts infected with Leishmania infantum to their vectors has been demonstrated. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether L. braziliensis-infected hosts present higher attractiveness to Ny. neivai and to identify differences in the volatile compounds released by infected and uninfected mice. Results Behavioural experiments in which sand fly females directly fed on infected or uninfected mice showed no significant differences in the attractiveness of the mice or the blood volume ingested. Y-tube olfactometer bioassays also revealed no significant differences in the attractiveness of these hosts to Ny. neivai. No differences were observed in the profiles of the volatile compounds released by the two groups of mice. However, PCA and cluster analysis were able to classify the 31 identified compounds into three clusters according to their abundances. This classification showed a possible role for individual variation in the absence of differences in volatile profiles and attractiveness between infected and uninfected mice. Conclusion In this first cross-sectional study with an aetiological agent of ACL, there were no statistically significant differences in the attractiveness of infected hosts to their vector.

X-ray diffractometry (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared (FTIR), UV/Visible (UV/Vis) and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopies, thermal analyses, textural analyses (BET) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) aided for the characterization of the materials. The FTIR, XPS and UV/Vis absorption spectra confirmed metallophthalocyanine formation. XRD analysis provided data on the structural disorganization of kaolinite during the synthesis of metallophthalocyanine, corroborated by SEM. NMR revealed that partial dissolution of aluminum from the octahedral kaolinite sheets was possible, which should release Al into the medium and, together with phthalonitrile, promote cyclomerization of the phthalocyanine macrocycle.

The pulp and paper segment has been seeking to increase mill efficiency through cost reduction and better production management. One of the ways to achieve this goal is through better control and operation of the pulp plant digester cooking. The study aimed to verify the accuracy of the FT-NIR analyzer in the liquor lines of a pulp and paper digester and its possible benefits for production management. The research methodology used was the case study, where it was analyzed and compared the results of the equipment with the values of the company's laboratory. The analysis of the instrument proved accurate and reliable, providing information on various properties of liquors that enable the optimization of production management with the stabilization of the operation. Future trends indicate that infrared technology will continue to play an important role as a detection platform due to its inherent flexibility and capability.

Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest. No copyright restrictions are associated with the data set. Please cite this Ecology Data Paper if the data are used in publication and teaching events.

Inconel 625 is a nickel-based alloy that is mainly used in high-temperature applications. Inconel 625 exhibits an unstable plastic flow at elevated temperatures characterized by serrated yielding, well-known as the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect. The evaluation of the mechanical properties of Inconel 625 at high temperatures is the aim of this work. The tensile tests were executed in temperatures ranging from room temperature to 1000 &deg, C with strain rates of 2 &times, 10&minus, 4 to 2 &times, 3 s&minus, 1. The creep tests were executed in the temperature range of 600&ndash, 700 &deg, C and in the stress range of 500&ndash, 600 MPa in a constant load mode. The optical and scanning electron microscopes were used for surface fracture observation. In the curves obtained at 200&ndash, C the serrated stress-strain behavior was observed, which was related to the dynamic strain aging effect. The yield strength and the elongation values show anomalous behavior as a function of the test temperature. An intergranular cracking was observed for a specimen tensile tested at 500 &deg, C that can be attributed to the decohesion of the carbides along the grain boundaries. The fracture surface of the specimen tensile tested at 700 &deg, C showed the predominance of transgranular cracking with tear dimples with a parabolic shape.

International audience; CUDA Dynamic Parallelism (CDP) is an extension of the GPGPU programming model proposed to better address irregular applications and recursive patterns of computation. However, processing memory demanding problems by using CDP is not straightforward, because of its particular memory organization. This work presents an algorithm to deal with such an issue. It dynamically calculates and configures the CDP runtime variables and the GPU heap on the basis of an analysis of the partial backtracking tree. The proposed algorithm was implemented for solving permutation combinatorial problems and experimented on two test-cases: N-Queens and the Asymmetric Travelling Salesman Problem. The proposed algorithm allows different CDP-based backtracking from the literature to solve memory demanding problems, adaptively with respect to the number of recursive kernel generations and the presence of dynamic allocations on GPU.

Para isso, são utilizados dados do clima (temperatura máxima e mínima, e precipitação), dados do tipo de solo da área (textura ou capacidade média de água disponível), dados da planta (espécie, fase de desenvolvimento, fator de disponibilidade de água no solo e profundidade efetiva do sistema radicular) e do sistema de irrigação (método de irrigação, eficiência de aplicação, vazão do emissor e espaçamento). O aplicativo (disponível em http://www.sismmi.com.br/), proporciona aos usuários uma ferramenta capaz de auxiliá-los no controle da aplicação de água pelo manejo da irrigação via atmosfera, de forma simples, de baixo custo e confiável, com aumento da eficiência do uso da água e energia na irrigação.

N.; MORAIS G.SYSTEM WEB FOR MANAGEMENT OF IRRIGATION - SISMI 2 ABSTRACT As the current water management methods are difficult to apply and relatively high cost for low-income irrigators, this study aimed to develop a low cost single application SISMI (Web Management System of Irrigation), for control water for irrigation management. The platform was developed using NetBeans IDE with the module of the PHP language, adapted to computers and mobile phones. The application SISMI indicates the time, and calculates the time of irrigation according to an adaptation of the method of water balance control for irrigation, both irrigation sprinkler systems and for localized. For this, climate data are used (maximum and minimum temperature and precipitation), soil type data area (texture or medium capacity available water), plant data (type, developmental stage, water availability factor in soil and effective depth of the root system) and irrigation system (irrigation method, application efficiency, emitter flow and spacing). The application (available in http://www.sismmi.com.br/), provides users with a tool to assist them in controlling the application of water for irrigation management in the atmosphere, so simple, inexpensive and reliable, with increased efficiency of water use and energy in irrigation. Keywords: drip irrigation, evapotranspiration, sprinkler irrigation, water resources.

BACKGROUND: Inactivating germline mutations in the tumour suppressor gene BRCA1 are associated with a significantly increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. A large number (>1500) of unique BRCA1 variants have been identified in the population and can be classified as pathogenic, non-pathogenic or as variants of unknown significance (VUS). Many VUS are rare missense variants leading to single amino acid changes. Their impact on protein function cannot be directly inferred from sequence information, precluding assessment of their pathogenicity. Thus, functional assays are critical to assess the impact of these VUS on protein activity. BRCA1 is a multifunctional protein and different assays have been used to assess the impact of variants on different biochemical activities and biological processes.METHODS AND RESULTS: To facilitate VUS analysis, we have developed a visualisation resource that compiles and displays functional data on all documented BRCA1 missense variants. BRCA1 Circos is a web-based visualisation tool based on the freely available Circos software package. The BRCA1 Circos web tool (http://research.nhgri.nih.gov/bic/circos/) aggregates data from all published BRCA1 missense variants for functional studies, harmonises their results and presents various functionalities to search and interpret individual-level functional information for each BRCA1 missense variant.CONCLUSIONS: This research visualisation tool will serve as a quick one-stop publically available reference for all the BRCA1 missense variants that have been functionally assessed. It will facilitate meta-analysis of functional data and improve assessment of pathogenicity of VUS.

In this study, an air mass (containing a cirrus cloud) was detected by light detection and ranging (lidar) above S&atilde, o Paulo (Brazil) in June 2007 and tracked around the globe, thanks to Lagrangian calculations as well as ground-based and satellite observations. Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) data were also used to provide locations of occurrence of cirrus around the globe and extract their respective macro physical parameters (altitude and temperature). An analysis of the air mass history based on Lagrangian trajectories reveals that water coming from the Equator is channelized through the southern subtropical jet for weeks. In this case, the back-trajectories showed that the cirrus cloud detected at S&atilde, o Paulo was a mixture of air masses from two different locations: (1) the active convective area located around the Equator, with transport into the upper troposphere that promotes cirrus cloud formation, and (2) the South Pacific Ocean, with transport that follows the subtropical jet stream (STJ). Air masses coming from equatorial convective regions are trapped by the jet, which contributes to maintaining the lifetime of the cirrus cloud for a few days. The cloud disappears near the African continent, due to a southern excursion and warmer temperatures, then reappears and is detected again by the lidar system in S&atilde, o Paulo after 12 days. The observed cloud is located at a similar altitude, revealing that sedimentation is small or compensated by radiative uplift.

Therefore, this study aimed to develop an analytical method capable of simultaneously determining eight diesel quality parameters (density; flash point; total sulfur content; distillation temperatures at 10% (T10), 50% (T50), and 85% (T85) recovery; cetane index; and biodiesel content) through attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and the multivariate regression method, partial least square (PLS). For this purpose, the quality parameters of 409 samples were determined using standard methods, and their spectra were acquired in ranges of 4000-650 cm-1. The use of the multivariate filters, generalized least squares weighting (GLSW) and orthogonal signal correction (OSC), was evaluated to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the models. Likewise, four variable selection approaches were tested: manual exclusion, forward interval PLS (FiPLS), backward interval PLS (BiPLS), and genetic algorithm (GA). The multivariate filters and variables selection algorithms generated more fitted and accurate PLS models. According to the validation, the FTIR/PLS models presented accuracy comparable to the reference methods and, therefore, the proposed method can be applied in the diesel routine monitoring to significantly reduce costs and analysis time.

Technological progress has enabled to use low cost materials in surgical procedures. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of polyamide 12 rods, solid and hollow in swine femurs, comparing them through flexion strength. This study had as second aim to fix the locking errors, commom place in interlocking nails, once polyamide 12 allows perforation in any direction by orthopaedic screw. Six groups were used: G1 - eight whole swine femurs; G2 - eight whole swine femurs with drilled medullary canal; G3 - two solid polyamide 12 rods; G4 - two hollow polyamide 12 rods; G5 - eight osteotomized drilled swine femurs with a solid polyamide 12 rod implanted in the medullary canal and locked by four 316L stainless steel screws; and G6 - similar to G5 but using hollow rods instead of solid ones. No significant differences were observed for the modulus of rupture between solid and hollow rods, demonstrating that both rods had similar performances. These results led to the speculation that the addition of other polymers to the hollow rods could increase their strength and thus the bone-implant system. Furthermore, the comparison between G1, G5 and G6 could be analyzed using the finite element method in future. New polymeric materials may be developed based on the data from this study, strengthening the bone-implant system and making possible screws to be placed in any direction, nullifying the detrimental forces on the fracture site.

Therefore, the reduction of this ingredient is a challenge for the meat industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of ready-to-eat sliced frozen roast beef with partial replacement of sodium chloride by a commercial additive mostly composed of potassium chloride. The analyses performed were chemical composition, cooking yield and post defrosting loss, microbiological evaluation and sensory analysis. There was higher moisture content (p < 0.05) in the control treatment (without the presence of the replacement additive) and all treatments were not different (p ≥ 0.05) in the cooking yield and in post-defrosting loss. The results of microbiological analysis are according to Brazilian Legislation. The sensory evaluation showed no difference between the control treatment and the T1 treatment (with the reduction of 35% of NaCl), while the T2 treatment (with reduction of 70% of NaCl) had the lowest average values in all attributes. The study showed that the reduction of 35% NaCl for commercial additive, mostly composed of potassium chloride, in roast beef is feasible since no changes were observed in sensory and technological characteristics evaluated.

O efeito dessa prática conservacionista sobre as propriedades físico-hídricas do solo, o desenvolvimento radicular e a produtividade da cultura do milho, comparativamente com o preparo convencional, foi o objetivo desse trabalho. O experimento foi conduzido na Fazenda Buriti-Mirim, município de Angatuba, SP (23º30'13 S, 48º35'37 W; 640m), durante o segundo semestre de 2003, utilizando uma área de Argissolo Acinzentado irrigada por pivô central, dividida em dois tipos de manejo do solo: preparo convencional e plantio direto. Embora no plantio direto tenha-se encontrado maior densidade do solo e menor quantidade de água disponível, os dois manejos não diferiram significativamente para resistência do solo à penetração, desenvolvimento radicular e produtividade do milho. Nos dois sistemas de manejo, 90% das raízes se concentraram nos primeiros 20 cm de profundidade. Corn cultivation is part of crop rotation used by irrigation farmers from the southwestern region of São Paulo state, Brazil, who use no-tillage soil management as a kind of sustainable use of soil. The effect of this conservative practice on physical and hydrical properties of the soil, root development and corn crop yield compared to the conventional management was the objective of this work. The experiment was held at the Buriti-Mirim Farm, Angatuba, SP, Brazil, using an irrigated area with a center pivot system and two types of soil management: conventional and no-tillage systems. Although the no-tillage management had higher soil density and less water availability, no significant difference was found for both management systems concerning soil resistance to penetration, root development and crop yield. In both systems of soil management, 90% of roots were concentrated in the first 0-20cm of soil layer.

Organic and conventional broccolis were subjected to two sanitation treatments, using chlorine and ozone, and were kept under cold storage for seven days. Analyses of pH, titrable acidity, soluble solids and weight loss were performed and the content of Cu, Mn and Zn was determined. In addition, the presence of pesticides was verified. The results show no influence of the cultivation method or the sanitation treatment on sample weight loss. Cultivation methods and sanitizing treatments affected broccoli pH, titratable acidity, and soluble solids during the evaluation period. No differences regarding the metal content on organic and conventional broccoli were observed. Furthermore, the presence of organochlorine compounds, nor other pesticides, was not detected both in organic and conventional vegetables.
