Ciclo de produção e demanda térmica de clones da videira 'Concord' sobre diferentes porta-enxertos

O objetivo do trabalho foi determinar a duração do ciclo de produção e a necessidade térmica de seis clones de 'Concord' sobre três porta-enxertos no norte do Paraná. Foram avaliados os clones '22', '28', '49', '202', '211' e '225', obtidos pela Embrapa Uva e Vinho, e enxertados sobre os porta-enxertos 'IAC 766', 'IAC 572' e '420-A'. O trabalho foi realizado em área experimental pertencente ao Centro Tecnológico da COROL - Cooperativa Agroindustrial, localizado no município de Rolândia-PR. O experimento foi realizado em esquema fatorial (6 clones x 3 porta-enxertos), em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com cinco repetições. As plantas foram conduzidas em sistema de latada, no espaçamento de 4,0 m x 2,0 m, e as avaliações foram realizadas nas safras de 2009/2010 e 2010/2011. Verificou-se que dentre os clones de 'Concord' avaliados, o '202' apresenta a menor duração do ciclo entre a poda e a colheita, sendo portanto o mais precoce. Dentre os porta-enxertos, o '420-A' induz a maior taxa de acúmulo diário de sólidos solúveis do mosto, proporcionando redução do ciclo total e da demanda térmica dos clones de 'Concord', enquanto o 'IAC 572' induz a menor taxa, promovendo aumento do ciclo e da demanda térmica dos clones.

Preparação de nanocompósitos através do encapsulamento de polímeros condutores em 2H-MoS2 e 1T-TiS2

Nanocomposites obtained by the encapsulation of conducting polymers such as polyaniline and polydiphenylamine in 2H-MoS2 and 1T-TiS2 are synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrophotometry. The synthesis consists in intercalating the layered compound with n-butyllithium and subsequent exfoliation in water and organic solvents. The nanocomposites are obtained by the adsorption of the polymers into the single-layers sulfides and posterior restacking. The X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the organic conducting polymers are encapsulated in mono and bilayers arrangement in a well-ordered fashion to produce single phase compounds.

Sulfitos duplos contendo cobre (I) e um metal de transição M(II) tipo Cu2SO3.M(II)SO3.2H 2O [M(II) = Cu(II), Fe(II), Mn(II) e Cd(II)]: preparação e seletividade na incorporação de M(II)

The metal-catalyzed autooxidation of S(IV) has been studied for more than a century without a consensus being obtained as to reaction rates, rate laws or mechanisms. The main objective in this work was to explore the reaction between Cu(II) and SO2 in the presence of M(II), paying special attention to the formation of double sulfites like Cu2SO3.M(II)SO3.2H 2O. The two principal aspects studied were: i) a new way to prepare double sulfites with high purity degree and the selectivity in the M(II) incorporation during the salt formation.

Hidrólise seletiva de carboxiamidas de resíduos de asparagina e glutamina em colágeno: preparação e caracterização de matrizes aniônicas para uso como biomateriais

This work describes the selective hydrolysis of carboxyamide groups of asparagine and glutamine of collagen matrices for the preparation of negatively charged collagen biomaterials. The reaction was performed in the presence of chloride and sulfate salts of alkaline and alkaline earth metals in aqueous dimethylsulfoxide solution and, selectively hydrolysis of carboxyamide groups of collagen matrices was promoted without cleavage of the peptide bond. The result is a new collagen material with controlled increase in negative charge content. Although triple helix secondary structure of tropocollagen was preserved, significative changes in thermal stabilities were observed in association with a new pattern of tropocollagen macromolecular association, particularly in respect microfibril assembly, thus providing at physiological pH a new type of collagen structure for biomaterial preparation, characterized by different charge and structural contents .

Nova rota de preparação do 2-cloro-1,3,2-dioxofosfolana e 2-cloro-4,5-benzo-1,3,2-dioxofosfolana e caracterização por espectroscopia de RMN multinuclear

A new method for the preparation of 2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane (1) and 2-chloro-4,5-benzo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane (2), are reported. The modifications introduced in the synthetic route improved the yield and facilitated the control of reaction, but the synthesis require longer reaction time. The compounds were characterized by ¹H, 13C{¹H} and31P{¹H} NMR spectroscopy. Due to the complexity of the spin system AA'BB'X (A, A', B, B' = ¹H; X = 31P) of 2, a simulation of the ¹H NMR spectra was done and it's in agreement with the bibliography.

Algumas considerações sobre as origens da preparação de ácido nítrico

Caracterização de quitosana por Cromatografia de Permeação em Gel - Influência do método de preparação e do solvente

In this work, samples of chitosan obtained in different conditions were characterized by molecular weight distribution, using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), in two different solvents. It was observed that the increase in the number of deacetylation steps promotes a increase in the degree of deacetylation followed by a decrease in the average of molecular weight and polydispersion. The GPC curves obtained for chitosan samples in the two solvents used (CH3COOH 0.30 mol/dm³ - CH3CONa 0.20 mol/dm³ and CH3COOH 0.10 mol/dm³ - NaCl 0.20 mol/dm³) showed small difference in elution volume, but significant changes in the average molecular weight (Mn and Mw) and polydispersion that, in agree with the values of Huggins constant, present evidences of chitosan aggregates formation in the second solvent.

Uma rota alternativa para a síntese de PPh2Si(CH3)3 segundo Appel; preparação e purificação dePPh2H (Ph = fenila)

The unexpected low yield in the Appel's synthesis of PPh2Si(CH3)3 can be attributed to the presence of phenyllithium and its interfering reactions. The method was carried out with hydrolysis of the products formed by the reaction of PPh3 with metallic lithium, phenyllithium and lithiumdiphenylphosphide. PPh2Si(CH3)3 was obtained by subsequent reaction of the resulting diphenylphosphin with elemental lithium and ClSi(CH3)3.

A combustão catalítica do metano: estudo estatístico do efeito das variáveis de preparação e pré-tratamento de catalisadores de paládio suportado sobre a atividade catalítica

The catalytic combustion of methane on alumina supported palladium catalysts was studied. It has been reported that the activity of the catalyst increases with its time on line, despite of an increase of the palladium particle size. However, different preparation, pretreatment and testing conditions can be the reason for the observed different results. An experimental design, which allows to verify the influence of several parameters at the same time with a good statistical quality, was used. A Plackett-Burman design was selected for the screening of the variables which have an effect on the increase of the catalyst activity.
