Mapeamento dos compartimentos de relevo do município de Estrela do Norte-SP e adjacências

The Geomorphology is to study the relevant object, which is the substrate where there are social relations, where society draws the natural resources for their survival and structure its immediate surroundings. In this context, the geomorphological map is currently considered as an important tool in landscape research. The landscapes of the city of Estrela do Norte-SP and surroundings consist mostly of geological substratum of sedimentary rock formations of Adamantina and Santo Anastácio (IPT, 1981a). Geomorphologically dominated by large reliefs of gently rolling hills tops and pedologicamente, the Oxisols and Ultisols Red-Yellow (Oliveira et al., 1999), which historically without proper management, formed a serious degradation of erosive framework in the study area. Thus, this study aimed to produce a map of the major compartments of the municipality Estrela do Norte-SP and surrounding areas, using techniques of digital stereoscopy. In relation to the procedures used in developing the mapping of geomorphological compartments, the main references were Tricart (1965) and Ross (1992). To prepare the mapping applied to refund technique - 3D through the ALOS / PRISM images...

Efeito da aPDT na osseointegração de implantes em alvéolos contaminados

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate by histometric and immunohistochemistry analysis the effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in alveolar prior to placement of mini-implants in animals with or without induced periodontal disease. Material and method: Thirty-two rats were used. Periodontal disease (PD) was induced by ligature in the lower left first molar. After 7 days of PD evolution, it was performed removal of the ligature and extraction of the left lower first molars in all animals. Thus, animals were divided into 2 groups (n=16) according to the treatments in the dental alveolus before immediate implant installation: MD (control) : mechanical debridement (MD), irrigation with 1 ml of saline solution followed by implant installation; aPDT- MD, irrigation with 1 ml of Toluidine Blue-O and low intensity laser (LLLT) and implant installation. Eight animals from each group were euthanized at 15 and 30 days after the installation of mini-implants. Specimens were processed for histologic, immunohistochemical and histometric analysis. The histometric data were processed for statistical analysis (Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn test; p <0.05). Result: In treatment analysis, results indicated that there was a greater BIC in implants installed in uncontaminated alveolus treated with a PDT ( p<0,05) and greater imuno-reactivity to OPG in bone issue treated with aPDT. Conclusion: The aPDT proved to be effective in bone loss control in no contaminated area and it has increased the bone loss and metabolic activity in alveolus irradiated prior to implant installation.

Metodologia para avaliação da deposição em pulverizações

O trabalho teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de avaliacao qualitativa e quantitativa, com o uso de substancia tracadoras, nos estudos de deposicao em pulverizacao, com a possibilidade de variacao da tensao superficial da calda. Plantas de citros foram pulverizadas com solucao tracadora composta pelo corante Azul Brilhante na concentracao de 0,15% em mistura com o Saturn Yellow tambem a 0,15%, suspenso com o lignosulfonato Vixilperse a 0,015%. A pulverizacao foi realizada com turboatomizador Jacto, na velocidade de deslocamento de 2,8 km/h e volume de calda de 1830 L/ha. A tensao superficial da solucaotracadora pulverizada foi ajustada para 72,6 mN/m, mesma da agua, e com a reducao para 36,5 mN/m. Para as avaliacoes dos depositos, dividiu-se a planta em 12 setores, partes baixa, media e alta, coletando-se amostras nas partes externa e interna e nas posicoes frontal e perpendicular a pulverizacao. Em cada posicao de coleta na planta foram retiradas duas amostras de folhas, uma constituida de 10 folhas para avaliar a distribuicao e o deposito total de ambas as superficies das folhas, e outra com 6 folhas para avaliar a relacao do deposito individual entre as superficies inferior (abaxial) e superior (adaxial) das folhas. O escorrimento de calda para o solo foi avaliado colocando-se placas de petri, distanciadas de 20 cm entre si e linearmente, sob a projecao da copa, nos setores frontal e perpendicular a pulverizacao. Para cada tensao superficial testada coletou-se amostras em 5 plantas, considerando-se cada planta uma repeticao. A avaliacao qualitativa foi feita atraves da visualizacao da distribuicao do deposito sob luz ultravioleta e a determinacao da quantidade depositada atraves da espectrofotometria. A metodologia desenvolvida mostrou-se adequada para avaliacao dos depositos de pulverizacoes no campo, com a solucao tracadora, pela possibilidade de avaliar qualitativa e quantitativa

Pesquisa de salmonella em mutuns (mitu mitu) mantidos em cativeiro

We collected 50 samples of curasow feces from the Scientific and Cultural Breeding Center in the city of Poços de Caldas. The samples were enriched in broth medium Tetrationato and Cystine-selenite and plated on Salmonella Shigella (SS), Mac Conkey (MC), endo-C (EC), Brilliant Green (VB) and Eosyn Methilen Blue EMB, remaining at 37 °C for 24h. Colonies suspected of Salmonella were inoculated in tubes containing Agar Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) and again incubated at 37 ºC for 24h. Tubes with characteristic growth were submitted to slide agglutination test with polyvalent somatic and flagellar serum. The medium SS, MC and VB were the most efficient for growing, and 36% of samples were positive for Salmonella spp. As birds are important reservoirs of Salmonella spp and it may represent a high risk to human health, there is a need to implement a cleaning routine in enclosures avoiding contamination between the enclosures and the consequent entrainment of these micro-organisms, by the keepers until their homes or other venues. The presence of Salmonella in breeding centers may be responsible for lower hatchability of eggs, undermining the purpose of the entity, which is to study and maintain the various birds species.

Reconhecimento de cores de objetos e de alimentos de cromaticidades opostas por pintos de corte

The aim of this research was to evaluate, by preference tests, the ability of perception of broiler chicks in the recognition of objects and foods of different colors. The survey was conducted in Brazil and consisted in the conditioning of 60 sexed one-day-old chicks using 30 male chicks and 30 female chicks for three days with blue balls and red food colors chosen for having opposed chromaticities. After the conditioning phase, a preference test was performed, in which the animals were placed individually in the center of an arena test with four options: red food, blue food, red balls and blue balls. Each bird was measured for 10 minutes. Latency to the first peck and the number of pecks, the number of sequential pecks at each object type or food, the total time the bird in each occupied compartment and the first occupied slot were recorded. According to the results, female chicks are less inhibited when in contact with a new situation when compared with males. However, males were able to establish a standard environment in the conditioning phase and opted for the compartment which was closer to that situation, associating the blue color to the ball and red color to the food. Overall, among the types of object colors and between types of food colors, the birds took less time for the decision on the choice of blue food and blue ball, showing a greater attraction, at first, to this color. Between the two ball colors, shorter latency period, greater number of interactions as well as more time spent on site were related to the blue sphere, verifying greater preference for this object. When evaluating the types of food colors, it was observed that the highest averages related to the number of pecks, and sequential pecks occurred with red food. Therefore, it is concluded that the birds recognized the red and blue food object, with the blue color having greater attractiveness for broiler chicks when compared to red.
