Alguns hibridos tetraploides apresentam resistência à antracnose, porém são reduzidas as informações sobre os níveis de resistência desses genótipos e o comportamento dos mesmos no Brasil. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a incidência e a severidade de antracnose sobre o comportamento de diferentes genótipos de bananeiras resistentes a Sigatoka-Negra em função de diferentes concentrações de conídios de Colletotrichum musae em diferentes épocas de avaliação. Os frutos colhidos no estádio de maturação fisiológica dos genótipos, Thap Maeo, Caipira, Pacovan Ken, Ambrosia, PV 42-53, PA 42-44, FHIA 01, FHIA 18 e a cultivar Prata-Anã utilizada como testemunha. Buquês contendo três frutos foram atomizados com diferentes concentrações (0; 10²; 10³; 10(4); 10(5) e 10(6) conídios/mL) de C. musae. Os frutos foram incubados a 25 ºC. A incidência e severidade da antracnose foi avaliada aos 3; 6; 9 e 12 dias após a inoculação. Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 9x6x4 (genótipos, concentrações de esporos e épocas de avaliação), com quatro repetições, contendo quatro buquês de três frutos. Aos doze dias de avaliação, todos os frutos de todos os genótipos estudados apresentaram incidência de C. musae quando inoculados com as diferentes concentrações de inóculo. A cultivar Thap Maeo apresentou a menor severidade (27,5%) de antracnose, enquanto os genótipos Ambrosia, PV 42-53, FHIA 18 e FHIA 01 foram as mais suscetíveis à antracnose com 64%, 64%, 61,33% e 58% de severidade, respectivamente.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os efeitos de diferentes condições de embebição das sementes, associadas a diferentes substratos e ambientes de semeadura, sobre a emergência de plântulas de tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum). O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 2 (condições de embebição da semente: à sombra e a pleno sol) x 3 (substratos de semeadura: areia, serragem de madeira e areia + serragem) x 3 (sombreamentos do viveiro: 30%, 50% e 70%), com três repetições de 25 sementes. A semeadura foi feita em caixas de plástico, contendo os diferentes substratos, cobertas com filme de polietileno transparente, formando um estufim. A emergência e o índice de velocidade de emergência (IVE) apresentaram efeito de interação entre os fatores "condição de embebição" e "substrato de semeadura". A semeadura em serragem de sementes embebidas à sombra (26-27 ºC) proporcionou emergência de 73% e IVE de 0,710, sendo esses valores significativamente superiores aos obtidos em sementes embebidas a pleno sol (26-42 ºC), que alcançaram 58% e 0,578, respectivamente. Os sombreamentos de 30% e 50% proporcionaram o mesmo percentual de emergência (68%), que foi superior aos 44% de emergência alcançada sob 70% de sombreamento. Os ambientes de semeadura com maiores amplitudes térmicas (13-14 ºC) e que atingiram maiores temperaturas médias (38-39 ºC), favoreceram o processo germinativo de sementes de tucumã. Desse modo, o melhor desempenho de emergência de plântulas foi alcançado com pré-embebição das sementes à sombra e semeadura em serragem de madeira, sob estufim mantido em viveiro com sombreamento de 30% e 50%.

OBJETIVO: Este trabalho tem como finalidade descrever os achados tomográficos da tuberculose pulmonar em pacientes adultos com AIDS atendidos no serviço de radiologia de um hospital de referência em doenças infecciosas, procurar associações desses achados e a contagem de CD4. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 45 pacientes por meio de tomografia computadorizada de tórax durante quatro anos. RESULTADOS: Foram encontrados linfonodomegalia mediastinal e/ou hilar em 31 (68,8%) dos casos, derrame pleural em 29 (64,4%), nódulos centrolobulares de distribuição segmentar em 26 (57,7%), consolidação em 24 (53,3%), confluência de micronódulos em 17 (37,7%), nódulos mal definidos com distribuição centrolobular em 16 (35,5%), padrão de "árvore em brotamento" em 13 (28,9%), espessamento de parede brônquica em 12 (26,6%), cavidade de parede espessa em 10 (22,2%), nódulos miliares em 9 (20%) e bronquiectasias cilíndricas em 6 (13,3%). Dos 45 pacientes, 35 (77,8%) apresentaram CD4 < 200 cel/mm³ e 10 (22,2%) apresentaram CD4 > 200 cel/mm³. CONCLUSÃO: Concluímos que neste estudo, diversamente do descrito na literatura, linfonodomegalia mediastinal e/ou hilar e consolidação foram significativamente mais frequentes em pacientes com CD4 > 200 cel/mm³. No entanto, linfonodos com centro hipodenso foram mais frequentemente observados em pacientes com severa imunodepressão, ou seja, CD4 < 200 cel/mm³.
Desenvolvimento de um sistema de filtração e titulação para determinação da acidez de ácidos húmicos
Resumo:
The acidity determinations method of humic acids (HA) content was developed by Schnitzer and Gupta and is a very well known procedure. Nevertheless, care is necessary to prevent measure errors due to non-controlled BaCO3 production, during the filtration and titration of HA total acidity. To overcome this problem, we developed in our laboratory a simple filtration and titration system for the determination of HA acidity under inert atmosphere. This system enables a better reproducibility and accuracy of total, carboxylic and phenolic acidity measures than those by Schnitzer and Gupta method.

Eu3+ luminescence and EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure) results are presented for organic-inorganic hybrid gel hosts composed of a siliceous network to which small chains of oxyethylene units are covalently grafted by means of urea bridges. Coordination numbers for Eu3+ ions range from 12.8 to 9.7 with increasing Eu3+ concentration while the Eu3+-first neighbours mean distance is found to be constant at 2.48-2.49 Å in the same concentration range. Emission spectra display a broad band in the green/blue spectral region superposed to narrow lines appearing in the yellow/red region in such a way that for the eyes emission appears white. The broad band is assigned to intrinsic NH groups emission and also to electron-hole recombination in the nanosised siliceous domains. The narrow lines are assigned to intra-4f6, 5D0->7F0-4 Eu3+ transitions and from the energy position of the 7F0-4 levels a mean distance could be calculated for the Eu3+-first neighbours. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental ones obtained from EXAFS analysis.

Some aspects of the chemistry involved in the preparation and characterization of functionalized silicon oxide by sol-gel method are considered in this work. The synthesis was performed with different silicon alcoxide precursors and the influence of the acid and basic catalyst was investigated. Characterization was performed by infrared absorption spectroscopy, elemental analysis and 29Si NMR. Infrared data show Si-C and -CH2- vibrational modes at 1250 to 1280 and 2920 to 2940 cm-1, respectively. The elemental analysis confirmed the presence of organic groups in the inorganic silica network. 29Si NMR results show different hydrolisys depending on the acid or base catalysis.

The ferroelectric compound LiNbO3 was prepared by the polymeric precursors method in the polycrystalline form containing different concentrations of Eu3+. The compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. Electronic spectroscopy was shown to be sensitive to small concentrations of contaminating phases allowing a good control of the compound purity. The presence of Eu3+ ions leads to the formation of the LiNb3O8 phase in the range of 500 to 800 °C. Above this temperature range LiNbO3 and tetragonal (T') EuNbO4 were obtained.

The conditions for the preparation of luminescent materials, consisting of Eu3+ ions entrapped in a titanium matrix, in the forma of a thin film, using the sol-gel process, are described. The films were obtained from sols prepared with TEOS and TEOT, in the presence of acetylacetone as the hidrolysis-retarding agent, using the dip-coating and spin-coating techniques. The influence of these techniques on the films based on titanium and silicon are presented. The Eu3+ was used as a luminescent probe. The films have been characterized by luminescence, reflection and transmittance. The thickness of the films could be related to the preparation procedure. Transparent thin films have been prepared by dip-coating technique.

The present paper describes the phytochemical investigation and biological activities of the chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of leaf decocts of M. truncata Reiss (Celastraceae). Our studies afforded two flavonoid glycosides, quercetin-3-O-rhamnopyranosyl-O-glucopyranosyl- O-rhamnopyranosyl-O-galactopyranoside (1) and kampferol-3-O-rhamnopyranosyl-O-glucopyranosyl- O-rhamnopyranosyl-O-galactopyranoside (2) from the methanolic extract and dulcitol (3) from the ethyl acetate extract. Ethyl acetate and methanol extracts exhibited considerable antiulcerogenic and analgesic activities. The results of the phytochemical studies suggest that the healing activity of methanol extracts can be related to the presence of glycosyl flavonoids.

The volatile oil from the leaves of E. urograndis was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. It was identified 10 compounds in which, orto-cimene (41.4%) and 1,8-cineol (25.8%) were the main constituents. The induction of deleterious effect to aquatic organisms due to the presence of volatile oil lixiviated from E. urograndis leaves was studied using Daphnia laevis and D. similis as bioindicators. Through the results of toxicological tests it was possible to show that the litterbag of E. urograndis represents a risk factor for the aquatic ecosystem of lakes and rivers that are in the surrounding area of large scale Eucalyptus plantations. The method can be used for monitor the quality of these types of aquatic environments.
