The purpose of this work was to determine the safe shelf life of single-base propellants. The kinetic parameters relative to the consumption of the stabilizer diphenylamine (DPA) added to the propellant were determined as a function of the storage and ageing time. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with spectrophotometric detection was used to determine the DPA percentage before and after the artificial ageing at 60, 70 and 80 ºC. The experimental data were very well adjusted to a pseudo-first order kinetic model and the respective kinetic constants are 8.0-10-3 day-1 (60 ºC); 1.9-10-2 day-1 (70 ºC); 1.2-10-1 day-1 (80 ºC). The activation energy was calculated as 130 kJ mol-1 and the half-time for depletion of the DPA at the hypothetical temperature of 40 ºC of storage was estimated as being 6 years.

Pesticides can be quite useful in agricultural production, however, some pesticides after application can reach and contaminate the hydric resource. Pesticide monitoring must be careful because it is expensive and lengthy. Thus, in this work, a theoretical prediction was made using the approaches suggested by EPA-USA, the Groundwater Ubiquity Score index (GUS) and the Goss method associated with physicochemical properties of 27 pesticides used in a region in the south of Brazil. The results of this work led to the identification of the pesticides that should be prioritized in the environmental monitoring due to their high potential for contaminating water resources.

Chemical interesterification is an important alternative to produce zero trans fats. In practice, however, excessive reaction times are used to ensure complete randomization. This work evaluated the influence of the reaction time on the interesterification of soybean oil/fully hydrogenated soybean oil blend, carried out in the following conditions: 100 ºC, 500 rpm stirring speed, 0.4% (w/w) sodium methoxide catalyst. The triacylglycerol composition, solid fat content and melting point analysis showed that the reaction was very fast, reaching the equilibrium within 5 min. This result suggests the interesterification can be performed in substantially lower times, with reduction in process costs.

Rainwater samples (bulk deposition samples) were collected in Pinheiro and Viana. Rainwater pHs were higher than the range usually expected for unpolluted rain (5.0-5.6). The highest values were found in the beginning of the rainy season. High concentrations of ammonium found in the rainwater samples could probably explain the high pHs. Grazing animals and other human activities, combined with soil characteristics and climatic conditions can be the potential factors controlling the rainwater concentrations of ammonium in Baixada Maranhense.

The measurement uncertainty is useful to estimate the confidence of analytical results. Nowadays, a result without the uncertainty statement cannot be considered reliable, but the scientific literature still lacks examples of the estimate of the measurement uncertainty. This paper presents a practical and reliable description of the measurement uncertainty estimation of the analytical determination of ethyl carbamate in cachaça by GC-IDMS. The isotope dilution technique (ID) associated with GC-MS was used to improve the accuracy. The uncertainty estimated corresponds to 10% of the mass fraction of ethyl carbamate (115 ± 11) ng/g, which is in agreement with ppb level.

A method to quantify lycopene and β-carotene in freeze dried tomato pulp by high performance liquid chromatography (HLPC) was validated according to the criteria of selectivity, sensitivity, precision and accuracy, and uncertainty estimation of measurement was determined with data obtained in the validation. The validated method presented is selective in terms of analysis, and it had a good precision and accuracy. Detection limit for lycopene and β-carotene was 4.2 and 0.23 mg 100 g-1, respectively. The estimation of expanded uncertainty (K = 2) for lycopene was 104 ± 21 mg 100 g-1 and for β-carotene was 6.4 ± 1.5 mg 100 g-1.

TiO2 thin films were prepared by the sol-gel method using different acids (HCl and HAc), with a parallel evaluation of the gel ageing effects on the film properties. After the thermal treatments, the resulting materials were characterized through gravimetric analysis, UV-VIS spectrophotometry (from which optical parameters such as band gap was derived), XRD, morphological surface analysis (AFM) and photocatalytic activity. The majority of the obtained thin films parameters were similar independent of the acid type and the ageing time of the gel. Nevertheless, a visible effect of the surface morphology properties on the films and their photocatalytic activity was observed.

Following application herbicides usually reach the soil and undergo several dissipation processes which determine their effects on target organisms and on the environment. This work aimed to evaluate atrazine and mesotrione sorption in Oxisols and estimate their potential impact on the environment. We observed that atrazine sorption was influenced by soil organic matter content and its hydrophobic character. Clay fraction was the main factor influencing mesotrione sorption followed in a lesser extent by soil organic matter content. In contrast to atrazine, mesotrione retention was favored by the higher carboxylic substitution in the aliphatic chains of soil organic matter. Atrazine and mesotrione were considered compounds that are likely to pose an appreciable risk of causing deleterious effects on the environment.

The estimation of measurement uncertainty of an analytical result is an important tool to be applied for compliance to ISO IEC 17025. Through the available guides it is possible to establish procedures and criteria for the estimation of measurement uncertainty. This paper presents a case study on the estimation of measurement uncertainty in migration the test of ε-caprolactam from the polyamide 6 packages to fatty foods with determination by GC-FID. The calculation methodology used for the estimation of measurement uncertainty for the migration test was developed based on the guides EURACHEM / CITAC and ISO GUM, taking into account relevant aspects of the migration test. The expanded uncertainty estimated was approximately 23% of the concentration of migration.

A transmissibilidade de Colletotrichum gossypii var. cephalosporioides foi estudada em diferentes temperaturas utilizando sementes de algodoeiro (Gossypium hirsutum) inoculadas com diferentes tempos de exposição ao patógeno. O experimento consistiu de seis tratamentos, sendo três tempos de exposição (36, 72 e 108 h) das sementes, inoculadas e não inoculadas com o fungo, testados em temperaturas de 15, 20, 25 e 30 ± 2 °C. Os tratamentos provenientes de sementes não inoculadas com o fungo foram utilizados como testemunhas. Os tempos de inoculação apresentaram diferença na incidência e na porcentagem da semente coberta com propágulos do patógeno (PSCPP), sendo o maior valor observado no tempo de 108 h, com conseqüências na germinação e porcentagem de plantas sobreviventes. Os tempos de 36 e 72 h não apresentaram diferença entre si. Temperaturas mais baixas e a maior quantidade de inóculo nas sementes proporcionaram redução na germinação e porcentagem de plantas sobreviventes. A intensidade da doença não foi influenciada pelo tempo de exposição, no entanto, a temperatura foi fator determinante para a transmissibilidade do patógeno, sendo a incidência e a severidade maiores com o aumento desta. O condicionamento osmótico estimulou o desenvolvimento fúngico, sendo observadas maior incidência e severidade da doença no tempo de 108 h.

A temperatura ambiente e o teor de lipídio no corpo do juvenil do segundo estádio (J2) de Meloidogyne sp. afetam seu parasitismo no hospedeiro. Assim, neste trabalho estudou-se a relação do teor de lipídio corporal e da temperatura com o período de incubação do J2 de Meloidogyne javanica em água e o parasitismo em soja. O teor de lipídio no J2 diminuiu significativamente em cada período de incubação no intervalo de 2 a 12 dias. Entretanto, a patogenicidade dos J2 foi mantida até 12 dias de incubação, porém com redução de 67,36%, 82,75% e 86,09% no número de J2 penetrados, fêmeas e massa de ovos, respectivamente. Em outro ensaio, os J2 foram incubados em água com temperaturas fixas de 5 ºC, 10 ºC e 28 ºC, e por 10 horas em temperaturas variadas de 5 ºC ou 10 ºC complementadas com 14 h a 28 ºC. A patogenicidade em soja foi realizada a cada 5 dias de incubação durante 20 dias. O aumento do período de incubação dos J2 de M. javanica nas temperaturas contínuas de 5 e 28 ºC reduziram a penetração, número de fêmeas, massas de ovos, total de ovos e ovos por grama de raiz. A incubação contínua dos J2 a 10 ºC por qualquer período não afetou a penetração e proporcionou pequena redução no número de fêmeas e na reprodução ao longo dos 20 dias de incubação. Quando os J2 foram expostos a 28 ºC por 14 h as variáveis avaliadas comportaram-se semelhantemente à exposição contínua de 24 h a 28ºC.

Plantas de feijão-vagem do cultivar Novirex apresentando mosaico e enrolamento de vagens, sem deformação foliar evidente, foram coletadas em 2002 em Cordisburgo, MG. Estudos preliminares identificaram o vírus como um isolado do Bean rugose mosaic virus (BRMV). Este trabalho relata a caracterização do isolado, por meio de produção e avaliação de anti-soro, determinação da gama de hospedeiros, estudo da transmissão do vírus por besouros crisomelídeos e estimativa de perdas em feijoeiro como resultado de infecção isolada ou em conjunto com o Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). O roteiro adotado para purificação possibilitou a obtenção de vírus purificado em rendimento satisfatório para a produção de anti-soro. A titulação dos anti-soros foi realizada por ELISA indireto, obtendo-se reações positivas com a diluição máxima testada (1:70.000). Das 22 espécies vegetais utilizadas na gama de hospedeiros, foram infectadas plantas de Chenopodium quinoa e alguns cultivares de feijão e soja, conforme esperado para o BRMV. O isolado de BRMV foi transmitido pelo besouro crisomelídeo Cerotoma arcuata a uma taxa de 33,3%. A infecção simples de feijão 'Ouro Negro' e de feijão-vagem 'Novirex' levou a uma redução do peso das vagens por planta de 3,4% e 84,9%, respectivamente. Infecção mista do BRMV com o BCMV levou a uma redução do peso de vagens por planta de até 70,1% para 'Novirex' e de até 90,8% para 'Ouro Negro'.
