Potencial de fitorremediação de diferentes plantas em solo contaminado por 14C-tebuthiuron

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a tolerância e a capacidade de fitorremediação de crotalária (Crotalaria spectabilis), sorgo (Sorghum bicolor), nabo forrageiro (Raphanus sativus), amendoim (Arachis hypogaea) e alfafa (Mendicago sativa) a solos contaminados por tebuthiuron. Para determinar a tolerância das plantas ao herbicida estas foram submetidas a 5 diferentes doses (300, 600, 1200, 2400 e 4800 gramas de ingrediente ativo por hectare gi.a. ha-1) e comparadas com uma testemunha que não recebeu aplicação do herbicida. Crotalária, Nabo forrageiro e alfafa se mostraram sensíveis ao herbicida, mesmo na menor dose de aplicação, enquanto sorgo se mostrou tolerante ao herbicida até a dose de 600 gi.a. ha-1 tendo apresentado fitointoxicação de 80% na dose de 1200 gi.a. ha-1 e amendoim foi tolerante até a dose de 4800 gi.a. ha-1 para a qual apresentou apenas 40% de fitointoxicação. Plantas de amendoim e sorgo foram submetidas a dose de contaminação de 600 gi.a. ha-1 aplicada por meio de uma solução de trabalho contendo 17,47kBq (Quilobecquerels) de 14C-tebuthiuron. As duas plantas foram capazes de remediar o solo, no entanto amendoim se mostrou mais eficiente reduzindo a contaminação em 75,8% enquanto sorgo retirou do solo 44,49% do herbicida contaminante

Age model, radiocarbon dates and dinoflagellate cyst measurements from sediment core DA06-139G

A marine sediment core from Vaigat in Disko Bugt, West Greenland, has been analysed in terms of lithology, dinoflagellate cysts and foraminifera in order to evaluate the influence of oceanographic variability on West Greenland glacier stability. The data show that during the past 5200 years the Atlantic foraminiferal abundance in the subsurface waters of the West Greenland Current (WGC) episodically increased, indicating periods of increases in the inflow of subsurface warm Atlantic water at 2000 - 1500 cal. yr BP and 1300 cal. yr BP as well as periods of less pronounced increased bottom-water temperatures around 4700 - 4000 cal. yr BP, 3100 - 2800, 2600, 1000 - 800, 500 - 400, and at 200 cal. yr. The sedimentological and dinoflagellate cyst data indicate that these episodes with enhanced advection of Irminger Sea-derived waters are accompanied by increased iceberg rafting, which we link to increased iceberg calving in relation to destabilization of the Jakobshavn Isbrae. The long-term trend in the data documents the end of a late-Holocene Thermal Maximum between 5200 and 4300 cal. yr BP and a final onset of the Neoglaciation at 3500 cal. yr BP. Increased responses of the iceberg rafting after 3500 cal. yr BP, reflects a westward/seaward advance of the glacier margin in relation to onset of Neoglaciation and a development of the glacier into a floating tongue after 2000 cal. yr BP. A comparison of our record with a record from the eastern North Atlantic indicates that a NAO-like anomaly pattern between subsurface waters in West Greenland and atmospheric temperature in the Eastern North Atlantic may have been operating during most of the late Holocene. However, during the past 1000 years the NAO signal may have weakened as some other mode of climate variability overprints the anti-phase climate signal in this region.

Time-differentiated target temperature management after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a multicentre, randomised, parallel-group, assessor-blinded clinical trial (the TTH48 trial): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

BACKGROUND The application of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for 12 to 24 hours following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been associated with decreased mortality and improved neurological function. However, the optimal duration of cooling is not known. We aimed to investigate whether targeted temperature management (TTM) at 33 ± 1 °C for 48 hours compared to 24 hours results in a better long-term neurological outcome. METHODS The TTH48 trial is an investigator-initiated pragmatic international trial in which patients resuscitated from OHCA are randomised to TTM at 33 ± 1 °C for either 24 or 48 hours. Inclusion criteria are: age older than 17 and below 80 years; presumed cardiac origin of arrest; and Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) <8, on admission. The primary outcome is neurological outcome at 6 months using the Cerebral Performance Category score (CPC) by an assessor blinded to treatment allocation and dichotomised to good (CPC 1-2) or poor (CPC 3-5) outcome. Secondary outcomes are: 6-month mortality, incidence of infection, bleeding and organ failure and CPC at hospital discharge, at day 28 and at day 90 following OHCA. Assuming that 50 % of the patients treated for 24 hours will have a poor outcome at 6 months, a study including 350 patients (175/arm) will have 80 % power (with a significance level of 5 %) to detect an absolute 15 % difference in primary outcome between treatment groups. A safety interim analysis was performed after the inclusion of 175 patients. DISCUSSION This is the first randomised trial to investigate the effect of the duration of TTM at 33 ± 1 °C in adult OHCA patients. We anticipate that the results of this trial will add significant knowledge regarding the management of cooling procedures in OHCA patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01689077.
