A mariposa-oriental Grapholita molesta é uma das principais pragas da macieira e do pessegueiro. Neste trabalho, foi avaliada a mortalidade causada por inseticidas quando aplicados sobre diferentes fases de desenvolvimento de G. molesta e sobre ponteiros e frutos de macieira e pessegueiro. Os inseticidas acetamiprido (8 g 100L-1), fosmete (100 g 100L-1), espinetoram (3,75 g 100L-1) e novalurom (4,0 g i.a 100L-1) reduziram a eclosão em níveis superiores a 80%, independentemente de a aplicação ser realizada em pré ou pós-oviposição. O etofenproxi (15 g 100L-1) foi mais eficaz quando aplicado em pós-oviposição. Em ponteiros de macieira e pessegueiro, os inseticidas acetamiprido, clorantraniliprole (4,9 g 100L-1), etofenproxi, fosmete, novalurom e espinetoram causaram mortalidade de lagartas acima de 90%. Em frutos de macieira, os inseticidas acetamiprido, clorantraniliprole, etofenproxi, fosmete e espinetoram causaram mortalidade de lagartas de 100; 79; 76; 97 e 100%, respectivamente, enquanto em frutos de pessegueiro apresentaram controle superior a 85%. O inseticida novalurom aplicado em frutos causou menor mortalidade das lagartas quando comparado à aplicação em ponteiros. Em adultos, apenas os inseticidas etofenproxi e fosmete foram tóxicos tanto a fêmeas (59 e 39%) quanto a machos (79 e 80%), enquanto o espinetoram mostrou efeito apenas em machos (78%). Conclui-se que os inseticidas etofenproxi, fosmete e espinetoram foram eficientes no controle de G. molesta em todas as fases de desenvolvimento.

RESUMO A macieira apresenta duas fases que caracterizam seu ciclo anual: a de repouso hibernal e a de crescimento vegetativo e reprodutivo. A importância em se conhecer ainfluência das condições climáticas sobre os processos reprodutivos das plantas e em desenvolver tecnologias que minimizem os possíveis efeitos aumenta à medida que as projeções de aquecimento global se tornampreocupantes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar o comportamento dos principais eventos fenológicos da macieira, da brotação à colheita, nas diferentes estruturas de frutificação, sob as condiçõesclimáticas do Sul do Brasil. O estudo experimental foi conduzido na Estação Experimental da Epagri (26°50’S, 50°58’W, altitude 950 m), durante os ciclos de 2011/12 e 2013/2014. As cultivares estudadas foram Gala e Fuji,com nove anos de idade, ambas sobre o porta-enxerto M9. O desenvolvimento fenológico foi observado nas diferentes estruturas de frutificação da macieira: gema de esporão, gema terminal de brindila e gemaaxilar de brindilas. As mesmas foram comparadas através dos dias e da exigência térmica necessários para a transição dos estádios, sendo contabilizados a partir do tratamento de quebra de dormência. As diferençasencontradas no início da brotação e do florescimento, entre as estruturas, dependeram consideravelmente das condições climáticas do ano em questão. Sob condições de altas temperaturas após o tratamento de quebra dedormência, houve maior sincronia fenológica entre as estruturas, sendo que sob baixas temperaturas se observou maior variabilidade dos estádios entre as mesmas. A partir do tratamento de quebra de dormência,gemas de esporões necessitam de menor acúmulo térmico para brotar, principalmente esporões de ‘Gala’ e gemas terminais de brindilas necessitam de maior acúmulo térmico que gemas de esporões para dar início aoflorescimento.

OBJETIVO: Determinar a freqüência de identificação das estruturas músculo-ligamentares do assoalho pélvico por meio de exames de ressonância magnética e avaliar o índice de concordância entre os observadores. MÉTODO: Estudo prospectivo em 20 voluntárias assintomáticas, idade de 20 a 80 anos (média de 50 anos). Realizados exames de ressonância magnética pélvica (1,5 T) nas seqüências turbo spin-eco ponderadas em T1 e T2 nos planos axial e sagital. Os exames foram avaliados por dois observadores independentes, que procuraram identificar os músculos levantador do ânus (músculos coccígeo, pubococcígeo, iliococcígeo e puborretal), obturador interno e compressor da uretra e os ligamentos pubovesical e pubouretral. Os resultados foram comparados com base na freqüência de identificação das estruturas anatômicas e na concordância entre os observadores (índice kappa -- kapa). RESULTADOS: A freqüência de identificação das estruturas variou de 50% a 100%, sendo pouco inferior para os ligamentos. A concordância interobservador na identificação das estruturas foi a seguinte: músculos levantador do ânus e obturador interno (kapa=1), pubococcígeo (kapa=0,62), iliococcígeo (kapa=0,86), puborretal (kapa=0,27), coccígeo (kapa=0) e compressor da uretra (kapa=1), e ligamentos pubovesical (kapa=0,50) e pubouretral (kapa=0,58). CONCLUSÃO: A ressonância magnética de pelve permite identificar as principais estruturas músculo-ligamentares do assoalho pélvico na grande maioria dos indivíduos, com boa concordância interobservador.

Results of two intercomparison exercises are reported. In the first one, the participants were asked to determine Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn, at the sub mg mL-1 level, in an acidified aqueous solution. In the second one, the participants were asked to determine mercury (total) in two homogeneous biological samples, hair and fish. The exercises were considered satisfactory and few reported results were discharged (3s criteria).

The FTIR spectroscopy has been used to quantify the secondary structures of proteins, using amide I band (1600 - 1700 cm-1). The resolution enhancement methods have been used to resolve the individual components of this band that correlate to the secondary structure. In this paper we discuss the methods of derivative, Fourier deconvolution and fitting with simulated spectra. The results shows that they have serious problems and can be used only as a qualitative or semiquatitative method.

Acid base properties of mixed species of the microalgae Spirulina were studied by potentiometric titration in medium of 0.01 and 0.10 mols L-1 NaNO3 at 25.0±0.10 C using modified Gran functions or nonlinear regression techniques for data fitting. The discrete site distribution model was used, permitting the characterization of five classes of ionizable sites in both ionic media. This fact suggests that the chemical heterogeneity of the ionizable sites on the cell surface plays a major role on the acid-base properties of the suspension in comparison to electrostatic effects due to charge-charge interactions. The total of ionizable sites were 1.75±0.10 and 1.86±0.20 mmolsg-1 in ionic media of 0.01 and 0.10 mols L-1 NaNO3, respectively. A major contribution of carboxylic groups was observed with an average 34 and 22% of ionizable sites being titrated with conditional pcKa of 4.0 and 5.4, respectively. The remaining 44% of ionizable sites were divided in three classes with averaged conditional pcKa of 6.9, 8.7 and 10.12, which may be assigned respectively to imidazolic, aminic, and phenolic functionalities.

Different methods have been applied to solve special problems of metal analysis. First, the solid samples of tool steels were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence. Alternatively, an on-line electrodissolution implemented in a flow injection system and conventional dissolution procedure for determination of W, Mo, V and Cr in tool steels by ICP-AES is described. The resulting analyte solutions were compared with conventional dissolution procedure and determination by ICP-AES. The electrolytic procedure presented a good performance characterized by a sample throughput of 164 determinations per hour. Results were in agreement with those obtained by conventional acid dissolution.

By using thermochemical data reported for a series of chelates of the type [Ln(thd)3], thd = 2, 2, 6, 6 ­ tetramethyl- 3,5-heptanedione and Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb, empirical correlations were found involving thermochemical parameters (e.g. dissociation enthalpy) and the thermodynamic temperatures of the beginning of thermal degradation of the chelates, t i. It is shown that t i values are of capital importance in the study of this all class of coordination compounds. Among others, the empirical equation is obtained: r3+ = (-0,013.Z + 1,36)/0,005, that relates the lanthanide cation radius (pm) with the atomic number of the element. The remarkable fact is that this equation is achieved by using thermogravimetric and calorimetric parameters. Is also shown that t i values are related with the P(M) function values, which are very close related with the energy difference, deltaE, between the lowest electronic energy level of the f n s²d¹ configuration and the lowest energy level of the f n+1s² configuration in the neutral gaseous atoms.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been used for the determination of twenty minor and trace elements in hair samples from an urban population group (N = 1775), aiming at the establishment of reliable hair reference intervals. Statistical evaluation of the data with respect to age, sex and anatomic region was performed by multivariant analysis and according to recommendations of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC). The results show that mainly age and anatomic region (scalp or pubis) influence significantly the concentration of several elements. Comparison of the here calculated reference intervals with those previously published and used by clinical laboratories for this population showed larger discrepancies and the need for an urgent revision of these data.

Adopting the perspective of human health risk assessment, an interdisciplinary research group has been investigating since 1998 the quality of mussels and oysters cultivated in coastal zones of Santa Catarina State. Evaluation of physico-chemical parameters considered relevant in measuring the degree of eutrophication showed values compatible with the dynamics of well balanced environmental systems. Concentrations of metallic and semi-metallic elements in seawater and bivalves were found to be similar to or lower than those found in Chile, Greenland and the USA. Further investigations focusing upon sediments will provide new and useful data for the management of sustainable mariculture strategies in Brazil.
