Diagnóstico do sistema de irrigação e estruturas hidráulicas e civis do Setor de Campos Experimentais do Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Hortaliças.

A fim de dar suporte à gestão de pesquisas em hortaliças na unidade, o grupo de trabalho constituído para realizar o diagnóstico sobre a Irrigação da Embrapa Hortaliças decidiu descrever o projeto através das suas diversas partes integrantes e ilustrando instalações, estruturas hidráulicas, equipamentos e acessórios de irrigação. O principal objetivo do diagnóstico é proporcionar subsídios para a restauração e adequação dos sistemas existentes a fim de atender as demandas atuais e de continuidade da pesquisa em hortaliças.

Girolando breed genetic improvement program - Sire summary - Progeny test results - July/2015.

The Girolando breed progeny test was established in 1997, as a result of the partnership between Girolando and Embrapa Dairy Cattle. In 2007, the Programa de Melhoramento Genético da Raça Girolando? PMGG (Genetic Improvement Program of the Girolando Breed) was implemented. Besides interacting with previously existing initiatives of the Girolando Breeders Association, such as the genealogical register service, the progeny test and the dairy control service, the PMGG launched the Linear Evaluation System (SLAG). The main objectives of the PMGG comprises identification of genetically superior individuals, the technically-oriented multiplication of genetics, the evaluation of economic traits and the promotion of sustainable dairy activities. The program have yielded impressive results. The Girolando breed semen sales increases faster than any other breed in Brazil.

The Sales Process Practice of Food and Drink SMEs - A Holistic Conceptual Framework: Steps, dimensions, barriers and enablers.

Purpose –The research examines the sales process practised by SMEs, and barriers and enablers that hinder and support effective selling practices from the selling organisation’s perspective in Scottish-based Food and Drink firms. Design/methodology approach - – The paper adopts an interpretivist perspective with qualitative data gathered through face-to-face semi-structured interviews. 20 people involved in selling activities were interviewed from 15 SMEs across Scotland. Thematic analysis established key findings regarding the sales process practice. Findings – Five themes emerged that affect the operationalisation of the selling process: the owner manager has considerable involvement in the sales process, SMEs with some degree of sales knowledge take a more systematic approach, SMEs lack awareness of how CRM technology can assist them, power is tipped in favour of the buyer and, the geographic location of the SME places constraints on how SMEs conduct business Research limitation/implication – Thematic analysis was chosen over other more traditional methods due to the lack of relevant quantitative data. The phenomenon of the research and research methodology means that it will not be possible to repeat this study and replicate its findings. However, the process that has been adopted does provide a basis for future research. Originality/value - The paper identifies areas where future research is required in the field alongside suggestions where policy makers and government business agencies might focus intervention to assist SMEs improve delivery of the sales process and selling effectiveness

The distribution of sales revenues from pharmaceutical innovation.

OBJECTIVE: This report updates our earlier work on the returns to pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) in the US (1980 to 1984), which showed that the returns distributions are highly skewed. It evaluates a more recent cohort of new drug introductions in the US (1988 to 1992) and examines how the returns distribution is emerging for drugs with life cycles concentrated in the 1990s versus the 1980s. DESIGN AND SETTING: Methods were described in detail in our earlier reports. The current sample included 110 new drug entities (including 28 orphan drugs), and sales data were obtained for the period 1988 to 1998, which represented between 7 and 11 years of sales for the drugs included. 20 years was chosen as the expected market life for this cohort, and a 2-step procedure was used to project future sales for the drugs--during the period until patent expiry and then beyond patent expiry until the 20-year time-horizon was completed. Thus, the values in the first half of the life cycle are essentially based on realised sales, while those in the second half are projected using information on patent expiry and other inputs. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES AND RESULTS: Peak annual sales for the top decile of drugs introduced between 1988 and 1992 in the US amounted to almost $US1.1 billion compared with peak sales of less than $US175 million (1992 values) for the mean compound. In particular, the top decile accounted for 56% of overall sales revenue. Although the sales distributions were skewed in both our earlier and current analysis, the top decile in the later time-period exhibited more rapid rates of growth after launch, a peak that was more than 50% greater in real terms than for the 1980 to 1984 cohort, and a faster rate of expected decline in sales after patent expiry. One factor contributing to the distribution of sales revenues becoming more skewed over time is the orphan drug phenomenon (i.e. most of the orphan drugs are concentrated at the bottom of the distribution). CONCLUSION: The distribution of sales revenues for new drug compounds is highly skewed in nature. In this regard, the top decile of new drugs accounts for more than half of the total sales generated by the 1988 to 1992 cohort analysed. Furthermore, the distribution of sales revenues for this cohort is more skewed than that of the 1980 to 1984 cohort we analysed in previous research.

Pastoreo estratégico de ambientes para mejorar la producción ovina en campos del ecotono bosque-estepa en Patagonia Sur

La conservación de los bosques nativos de ñire (Nothofagus antarctica) en establecimientos bajo manejo ganadero extensivo, se presenta como un desafío de manejo dadas las condiciones climáticas y la configuración de los ambientes en los grandes potreros (300-5000 ha) propios de estancias de Santa Cruz y Tierra del Fuego. Por ello, inicialmente se relevaron los establecimientos con bosque de ñire en esta región con el objetivo principal de conocer el nivel de manejo y sus características ganaderas. Como resultado se encontraron bajos índices de aplicación de tecnologías que propiciaron la realización de una propuesta de manejo integral del recurso forestal y pastoril a escala de establecimiento y durante toda la temporada de producción. Esta propuesta incluyó la separación de ambientes y su uso en época adecuada, protección de renovales de ñire e intensificación del esquema de pastoreo mediante un mayor número de potreros de menor tamaño. Para el establecimiento bajo estudio, la respuesta animal al manejo propuesto manifestó resultados superadores en la producción de carne y lana comparada con el manejo tradicional, así como también se encontraron resultados positivos en la continuidad del estrato arbóreo a través de la protección individual de renovales y en la conservación del recurso forrajero principalmente en áreas sensibles como los mallines. Por otra parte, se advirtió la importancia del ajuste de carga sobre la producción animal individual en períodos críticos del año. Finalmente, se complementó el estudio de las variables de producción con variables relacionadas al comportamiento animal (dieta, actividades diarias y uso espacial de ambientes con el uso de collares GPS). De su análisis fue posible deducir que la intensificación de manejo propuesta, bajo las condiciones ensayadas, no afecta la conducta de los ovinos en pastoreo, destacando además la preferencia de los animales por el ambiente de bosque por su reparo y consumo de forraje disponible en épocas críticas del año. Este estudio, a escala real de producción, brinda mayor conocimiento para la definición de tecnologías de manejo ovino en campos con bosques de ñire.
