O experimento teve por objetivo comparar os cordeiros da raça Corriedale com mestiços (F1) Ile de France x Corriedale, quanto às variáveis: peso da carcaça, porcentagem de quebra ao resfriamento e rendimentos de carcaça. Trabalhou-se com 18 cordeiros de cada genótipo, desmamados aos 60 dias de idade, com 10 a 12kg de peso vivo e terminados em regime de confinamento total, onde dispunham à vontade de uma ração com 15% PB e 70% NDT. Foram abatidos com peso vivo entre 30 e 32kg. Não houve diferenças entre os grupos genéticos para as variáveis estudadas, embora estas estejam dentro das requisições do mercado regional atual. Observou-se valor médio de 4% de perda no peso de sacrifício, em relação ao peso de origem. O peso elevado de alguns componentes não constituintes da carcaça (cabeça, pele, sangue e fígado) representou 20,9% do peso vivo médio ao sacrifício e afetou negativamente o rendimento da carcaça. Os resultados obtidos não invalidam por si só, a utilização deste cruzamento em circunstâncias semelhantes, tendo em vista que outras variáveis envolvidas com a eficiência global do sistema de produção não foram estudadas e mostram que, a pesos vivos semelhantes, não existe diferença de genótipo sobre as perdas por transporte e resfriamento, e sobre rendimento de carcaça.

A volatilização de amônia é umas das principais formas de perdas de nitrogênio, especialmente com a aplicação de dejetos, devido a sua distribuição a lanço, em superfície. Este trabalho teve por objetivo determinar as perdas de N por volatilização de amônia em função de doses e horários de aplicação de dejeto líquido de suínos. O trabalho foi conduzido a campo em fevereiro, maio, outubro e dezembro de 2001, sendo que, em fevereiro e dezembro, aplicou-se o dejeto em dois horários (10 e 18h). As doses testadas foram 0, 20, 40 e 80m³ ha-1 e as determinações das perdas de amônia foram feitas às 3, 6, 12, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, e 144 horas após a aplicação do dejeto, totalizando um período de avaliação de seis dias. O uso de menores doses de dejeto líquido de suínos minimizou as perdas de N por volatilização de amônia. Os picos de perda ocorreram nas primeiras horas após a aplicação indicando que, quando possível, a sua incorporação seria uma alternativa à diminuição nas perdas de N por volatilização de amônia. O horário de aplicação do dejeto não afetou de maneira consistente as perdas de N por volatilização de amônia.

OBJETIVO: investigar se as perdas dentárias em indivíduos adultos apresentam relação com as queixas de fala, mastigação e deglutição. MÉTODOS: participaram deste estudo 50 indivíduos adultos, trabalhadores de uma Avícola, do município de Bariri (SP), com faixa etária entre 18 e 52 anos. Os participantes selecionados foram submetidos à avaliação odontológica por um cirurgião-dentista e à entrevista fonoaudiológica, por duas fonoaudiólogas, em um consultório do município que mantém contrato de prestação de serviço com a Avícola. Para análise dos resultados, foram comparados os indivíduos com e sem perda dos elementos dentários, denominados de grupo experimental (GE) e grupo controle (GC), respectivamente, a partir da aplicação do teste Qui-Quadrado. RESULTADOS: os resultados revelaram maior ocorrência de mastigação unilateral no GE. Queixas quanto à dificuldade e dor na mastigação estiveram presentes apenas no GE, com diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos (p<0,05). O tempo de deglutição mostrou-se inadequado para a maioria dos indivíduos em ambos os grupos. A maioria dos indivíduos do GC mencionou utilizar algum tipo de líquido para facilitar a deglutição. Nenhum indivíduo mencionou queixas de fala. CONCLUSÃO: os achados revelaram que a ausência de elementos dentários em indivíduos adultos apresentou relação apenas entre dificuldade e dor durante a mastigação.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a exigência dietética de fósforo (P) para mantença de caprinos da raça Alpina em crescimento pelo método das perdas endógenas e pela técnica do abate comparativo. Foram usados 21 animais, machos, castrados, com idade média de quatro a seis meses e 18 kg PV. Destes, três foram abatidos no início do experimento, como referência, e os 18 restantes, distribuídos em tratamentos com dietas isoenergéticas e isoprotéicas, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com arranjo fatorial 3x2 (nível de P na dieta [0,12; 0,21; e 0,29% MN] e forma de fornecimento da dieta [restrito ou à vontade]). O período experimental foi de 37 dias, com 30 dias para adaptação e sete dias para coleta total de fezes e urina. No final do período de coleta, três animais de cada tratamento foram abatidos. As exigências dietéticas de P para mantença foram então estimadas por meio das perdas endógenas fecal e urinária (perdas endógenas) e da retenção de P no corpo animal em relação à sua ingestão e aquele retido nos animais referência (abate comparativo). Os valores médios foram coeficiente de absorção aparente e real de P, -157+30, 98+10, 43+24, e 65+33; 235+09, 145+24%, respectivamente; perda diária endógena fecal e urinária de P, 8,84 e 4,84 mg/kg PV, respectivamente; e balanço de P, 187,62+153,87; 14,0+160,59; 85,96+337,85 mg/d; e -11,42+10,98; 1,04+9,14; -2,33+11,69 mg/kg PV, respectivamente. A exigência líquida diária estimada de P para a mantença foi de 13,68 mg/kg PV. As exigências dietéticas diárias de P para mantença foram estimadas em 72 e 58,46 mg/kg PV, pelo método das perdas endógenas e pelo abate comparativo, respectivamente.

Avaliou-se o efeito do uso de aditivos químicos nas perdas de matéria seca, no perfil fermentativo e no valor nutritivo de silagens de cana-de-açúcar. O experimento foi realizado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com quatro repetições por tratamento (sete tratamentos). Os seguintes aditivos foram utilizados na confecção das silagens: controle (sem aditivo), L. buchneri, óxido e carbonato de cálcio em doses de 1,0 e 1,5% da massa verde e sulfato de cálcio a 1,0% da massa verde, diluídos em 40 litros de água por tonelada de forragem. As variáveis analisadas foram: perdas totais e gasosas, produção de efluente, recuperação de matéria seca, composição química e valor nutritivo. As menores perdas fermentativas e gasosas foram observadas nas silagens com óxido ou carbonato de cálcio, que resultaram em maior taxa de recuperação de matéria seca. da mesma forma, as silagens tratadas com estes aditivos apresentaram maior teor de carboidratos solúveis residuais e de ácido lático e reduzida fermentação alcoólica. As silagens tratadas com óxido e carbonato apresentaram, no momento da abertura, maior teor de cinzas, menor concentração de componentes fibrosos e maiores coeficientes digestibilidade da matéria seca e da matéria orgânica. O teor de proteína encontrado nessas silagens foi semelhante ao observado na forragem fresca. A ensilagem de cana-de-açúcar com L. buchneri e sulfato de cálcio possibilitou a obtenção de desempenho similar ao determinado com a silagem sem aditivos. Silagens tratadas com carbonato e óxido de cálcio apresentam maior desempenho durante o processo fermentativo.

Mechanized harvesting losses are one of the main problems in the soybean production. This work aimed characterize the quantitative losses of productivity for area, in the mechanized harvesting system in commercial production soybean grains, in function of harvesting displacement speed and year of production. The test was accomplished using a randomized design in a fatorial scheme 2x2, being treatments composed by two harvesting operating in two speeds, 4,0 a 4,5 km h(-1) and 6,0 a 7,0 km h(-1), with five replications for each treatment. The harvesting used Massey Ferguson 5650 Advanced, year of production 2003 e Massey Ferguson 5650 Advanced, year of production 2004. They were evaluated the soybean grains losses caused by the cleaning and separation systems, cut deficiency in the harvesting cutterhead and total losses. The results showed the losses of systems of separation was influenced by harvesting, and the others variables are not significative alterations and the losses in the systems of cleaning showed more contribution for the total losses.

This paper discusses the formation of microstructures with different volume fractions, as an outcome of a specific heat treatment, with the following phases: ferrite, martensite, bainite and retained austenite. For the microstructure characterization it is developed a chemical etching that allows to distinguish the phases by optical microscopy. The evaluation of the mechanical properties is done based on the results of tensile and fatigue tests. The experimental results show that appropriate heat treatments can contribute to a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the steel. In this process it is essential to control the fraction volume, morphology of the phases, and grain size.

The geographic area of the present study corresponds to the basin of the Itiquira river high course (Figure 1), in the portion that extends from the tributaries of its source, in the east of the plateau Correntes/Itiquira, in the neighbourhoods the city of Alto Garç as, to the scarp of the São Jerônimo mountain range, toward the west of Itiquira, in the state of Mato Grosso, totalizing 5,361 km 2. The area is placed in the eastern part of the Alto Paraguai basin, in the western portion of the Paraná Sedimentary Basin plateau. Through GIS techniques, it was possible to asses total soil losses from the Itiquira river basin, considering the years of 1966, 1985 and 1996, being based on the Universal Soil Loss Equation. Thus, in 1966 the basin lost 201,546.94 ton of soil, with an average loss of 0.37 ton/ha/year. Considering that the total area of the Itiquira river basin is of 536,100 ha, while in 1985 the soil losses had passed to 1,760,833.40 ton, with an increase of approximately 8.5 times. The average of soil losses in 1985 was of 3.28 ton/ha/year. In 1996 the basin lost 1,662,043.24 ton, with a reduction of only 9.4% in relation to 1985 but, in relation the 1966, the increase continued in the order of 8 times. The average losses per hectare in this year was in the order of 3.10 ton/ha/year (Chart 1). The map of potential of the laminar erosion for 1966 (Figure 3), shows to the highest values in small areas, situated in the northeast of the area, in Alto Garças, with values between 10 the 20 ton/ha/year and some spots in sources of the Itiquira and Ariranha rivers, with values between 1 the 5 ton/ha/year. In a general way, however, the area presents low soil loss for laminar erosion in this year, with inferior values to 1 ton/ha/year. The higher class of erosion, over 10 ton/ha/year, occupied 2,947 ha in 1966. In the year of 1985 (Figure 4), the erosive process spread over the entire studied area, and the class of erosion over of 10 ton/ha/year, already started to occupy 78,437 ha, implying an increase of approximately 27 times in 19 years. A strong increment in the erosive process was noticed in the western part of the area, to along the BR-163 road, exactly where great areas of natural vegetation (open pasture) had been transformed in culture and pasture areas. In the north-eastern part of the area it was also noticed an increment in the erosive process in agreement with the increase of culture areas and reduction of the natural areas, but it was not of so intense form as in the western portion of the area. In the year of 1996 (Figure 5), the class of erosion over of 10 ton/ha/year had diminished for a total of 53.499 ha noticing a retraction of the erosive process in the western part of the area, alongside the BR-163 road. On the other hand, it occurred a strong increment in the northern part of the area, in the neighbourhoods of the city of Alto Garças, alongside the BR-364 road and part of the MT-040 road. In a general way, in the outskirts of the city of Itiquira, in the central part of the area, it was verified an increase of the amount of zones with erosion between 0-1 ton/ha/year, passing to the immediately superior class, of 1-3 ton/ha/year; scarce data of hydrosedimentology in the UHE Itiquira (1999), shows good agreement with the values gotten for the EUPS (Chart 2). Based on the hydric classification proposal for FAO (1967) (Chart 3), it is noticed that areas with high degree of erosion (> 50) in the analysed area are very restricted, occupying 493 ha in 1985 and 332 ha in 1996 (Chart 4). In 1996 appeared as isolated spots in the north of Itiquira and Alto Garças, however beyond limits of the Itiquira river basin. These areas require special cares in its use as agricultural areas. Aiming at identifying and indicating the areas of potential risk of erosion and that need implementation of conservation practices, it was elaborated the map of limit of tolerance to the soil losses. In 1966 (Figure 6), areas with soil losses over of the tolerable were restricted to small spots located in the eastern part of the area, occupying 0.43% of the total of the area; already in 1985 (Figure 7), this percentage passed to 5.86%, spreading for all the area; in 1996 (Figure 8) it is observed a fast reduction of the areas with soil losses over of the tolerance limit, passing 5.43% of the total of the area. All the areas with losses over of the tolerable value must be considered as risk areas and were done in these areas studies for implementation of conservation practices.

The objective of this work was to identify the spatial variability of the natural erosion potential, soil loss and erosion risk in two intensely cultivated areas, in order to assess the erosion occurrence patterns. The soil of the area located at Monte Alto, São Paulo state, was classified as Paleudalf (PVA) with moderately slope, with different managements. The soil of the area located at Jaboticabal, São Paulo state, was classified as Haplortox(LV) with gentle slope and cultivated with sugarcane. A irregular grid was imposed on the experimental areas. Soil samples were obtained from 0-0.2 m depth at each grid point: 88 samples in Monte Alto area (1465 ha) and 128 samples at Jaboticabal area (2597 ha). In order to obtain the values of the studied variables USLE was applied at each grid point. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and geoestatistical analyses were performed for defining semivariograms. Kriging techniques to develop map showing spatial patterns in variability of selected soil attributes were used. All variables showed spatial dependence. The PVA soil showed higher erosion risk due to the slope and atual management compared to the soil LV.

The activities and management operations of wood harvesting do not have good computational tools available to help the forest technicians with the task of cost reduction. In many cases, machines of high investment are used in wood harvesting without adequate operation planning; consequently, the cost per hour of these machines, which is high, could be reduced. Using technological resources such as the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integrated with the Global Positioning System (GPS), which are the basis of precision harvesting. In this research, a technological tool capable of calculating and optimizing the average skidding distance of the forwarder was developed. It was used in stands of different sizes and formats through mathematical techniques and available functionalities in the Geographic Information System GRASS. The developed tool, called optimized model, divides the stand in small parts in relation to shorter skidding distances. The main variable considered was the alignment of plantation. The model was tested in eucalypt stands located in the State of São Paulo. Sixteen stands were randomly selected: eight with a rectangular polygon form, and eight with irregular polygon form. The main variables were collected in these stands. Results showed that the optimized model developed, is efficient and flexible. It was possible to divide the stands in small parts resulting in smaller skidding medium distances. The stands with irregular form had shorter skidding medium distances than the rectangular stands.

There is much information on the adequate soil water matrix potential for returning irrigation in conventional soil tillage systems; however there is not enough information on the best soil water matrix potential for no-tillage production systems. This work aimed to study the effect of five irrigation levels on yield, soluble solids, and fruit acidity of the Hypeel tomato, cultivated for industrial processing and cropped on no-tillage system in Yellow Latosol. The experiment was carried out on a randomized block design with five treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted in different soil water matrix potentials for returning irrigation (m at 13cm of soil depth): -15, -30, -45, -60 and -75 kPa. The results obtained showed that the soil water matrix potential of -28.5 kPa resulted in maximum yields for tomato crop; whereas the value of -50.8 kPa resulted in the maximum fruit soluble solids concentration.
