Injeção Intracitoplasmática de Espermatozoide em Equinos

As técnicas de reprodução assistida utilizadas para os equinos estão em grande desenvolvimento, mesmo com a escassa disponibilidade de ovários de abatedouro para serem feitos estudos e a relação animal/indivíduo entrando, neste caso, a política do bem estar animal e outros fatores que serão discutidos ao longo desta revisão. Podemos afirmar que a técnica de ICSI promove resultados favoráveis à evolução da reprodução assistida, juntamente com outras técnicas, as quais muitas vezes são utilizadas para aprimorar o desenvolvimento e a produção de embriões, não mais necessitando do animal em si e sim de novas técnicas em produção in vitro. Oócito equino tolera o estresse de injeção mecânica de espermatozoides no ooplasma, ou seja, há grande viabilidade da técnica em discussão. O sêmen de baixa qualidade ou com baixo número de espermatozóides pode ser utilizado, seguramente na ICSI, o método pode ser uma ferramenta para avaliar a maturação citoplasmática ou mesmo para substituir outras técnicas já descritas em literatura, mas que não alcançaram a eficiência esperada

Do vento ao vapor em mares já antes navegados: a companhia de navegação La Veloce e o transporte de emigrantes pelo Atlântico

In the final decades of the nineteenth century, the growth of Italian emigration was constituted in a secure source of income for the shipping companies that operated in the Atlantic and played a major role in financing the replacement of old sailboats by modern steamers. Based on reports and balance exercises financial, besides newspapers related to mercantile marine, this article aims to present some results of the research about the importance of Italians emigrants’ transporting to the shipping company La Veloce, showing its economic trajectory and particularities.

Effects of copper vapor laser irradiation (λ = 510.6 nm) on the enamel and dentine of human teeth: An ultra-structural morphologic study

Objective: A morphological and ultra-structural study of copper vapor laser (λ = 510.6 nm) effects on enamel and dentine was performed to show the effects of this radiation. Methods: A total of 15 human molars were cut in half; 15 pieces were separated for irradiation on enamel and 15 for dentine. These two groups were further divided into five experimental groups, including a control group, comprised of three half-sections each, irradiated by a CVL laser with a power of 7 W, a repetition rate of 15,000 pulses/sec and exposed at 500, 600, and 800 msec and 1 sec irradiation times with a 5-sec interval between irradiations. Results: In an ultra-structural SEM exam, we observed that on the enamel surfaces irradiated for 1 sec there was morphological alteration that consisted of catering, flaking, and melting on the surfaces. There was no alteration for the other exposure times. On the dentine teeth irradiated for 1 sec, we observed an evident ultra-structural alteration of melted tissue and loss of morphological characteristics. In the dentine group irradiated by 800 msec, we observed ablation and a partial loss of morphological characteristics. In the dentine groups irradiated by 500 and 600 msec, no alteration was observed. Conclusions: The results showed that irradiation with CVL promoted morphologic changes in the enamel as well as in the dentine and demonstrated a need for future studies in order to establish a safe protocol for further use in the odontological practice.

Adição de plasma bovino em salmouras para injeção de coxão duro bovino (m. Biceps femoris) e seus efeitos no pH e na carga microbiana de bifes cozidos embalados à vácuo e mantidos sob refrigeração

The physical (pH) and microbiological (psychotrofi c microorganisms and lactic bacteria) characteristics of beef outside round (m. Biceps femoris) injected (15%) with brines free of polyphosphates containing and sodium lactate or sodium lactate and sodium diacetate and liquid bovine plasma (PLL and PLO) or dehydrated bovine plasma (PDL, PDO) were evaluated along with beef cuts injected with brines free from plasma, but containing polyphosphates and bacteriostatic agents (CL and CO) and non injected beef cuts (IN), comprising seven treatments of cooked and vacuum packaged beef steaks stored under refrigeration (6ºC) during 43 days. No differences in pH were detected among raw or cooked injected treatments, although IN showed lower pH value in raw beef cuts. The addition of liquid or dehydrated bovine plasma did not affect the microbial load after whole muscles pasteurization, but increased the bacterial counts in cooked beef steaks during refrigerated storage, comparing to treatments with no plasma addition (CL and CO). The storage temperature (6ºC), usually found during commercialization of meat increased the microorganisms growth rate affecting the microbiological quality, especially when plasma was added to the brine.

Projeto de adaptação do sistema de injeção do túnel transônico para ensaios em bocais de foguete

In this work, the project of a new experimental facility to be installed at the Aerodynamics Division of the Institute of Aeronautics and Space is presented. This new facility will provide means to perform experimental campaigns to analyze the flow behavior at different rocket nozzle concepts using cold gas that will be obtained from a modification of the Pilot Transonic Wind Tunnel air system. The new installation will enable less expensive experiments in a more secure environment, since the cold gas experimental procedures do not demand fuel storage and burn and security procedures are much less severe. Furthermore, experiments can be carried with different types of sensors, commonly used in wind tunnel tests. Also, the optical access is facilitated enabling the use of optical techniques for the characterization of flow properties inside the nozzles, such as pressure and temperature sensitive painting. The full project design and the operation conditions will be showed, as also some technical considerations about the flor behavior in the facility
