Granitóides proterozóicos como marcadores da evolução geotectônica da região nordeste do Pará, Brasil

Na região do Gurupi, nordeste do Pará, Brasil, afloram corpos granitóides em janelas erosivas das coberturas fanerozóicas. Eles representam marcadores importantes da evolução geotectônica da área e neste trabalho são investigados a partir de estudos isotópicos Sm-Nd e datações ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb em monocristais de zircão. A maioria dos corpos tem gênese relacionada aos processos geológicos que formaram grande parte desse segmento crustal, onde se insere o Cráton São Luis. Tais processos remontam a um ambiente de interação entre arcos de ilhas e núcleos arqueanos, durante o Paleoproterozóico (2,15 – 2,07Ga). Um corpo granitóide, de idade eo-cambriana, (549± 4Ma) foi formado durante a reativação tectônica que retrabalhou a borda sudoeste do cráton e que gerou o Cinturão de Cisalhamento Gurupi.

Simulação da produtividade de cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum officinarum L.) na região nordeste do Brasil, utilizando o modelo DSSAT

The objective of this study was to simulate the potential stem and sugar yield of sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum L.) in the Northeastern Brazil (Petrolina-PE and Teresina-PI) and analyze 4 varieties in different planting seasons in two environments: irrigated and rainfed cultivars. The model of simulation was DSSAT/CANEGRO (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) and the four sugar cane varieties were as follows: RB86 7515, CTC 4, CTC 7 and CTC 20 (all in 1.5 year cycle). Analysis of variance was performed on the results and means were compared using the Tukey test with probability level at 5%. March is the recommended month for planting in Teresina, PI. In Petrolina, PE, rainfed planting is not advisable because of the extended water deficit all year long. In an irrigated environment, no difference was found concerning stem yield as a function of planting season, for all varieties in the study regions. The stem and sugar yields were always higher in irrigated environment as compared with those in rainfed environment in all municipalities and study varieties. The simulation model provided good estimate of stem and sugar yields as compared with experimental data in Teresina, PI.

A plasticidade acústica de uma população de Boto - Cinza, Sotalia Guianensis (Van Banédén, 1864) (Cetacea, Delphinidae), na região Nordeste do Brasil

The environmental characteristics can modify the acoustics of a species due to habitat, time of day and year. Therefore, this study investigated the relationships between seasons, tide, daily cycle of tides, times of day and different habitat and noise emission of S. guianensis. Sound recordings occurred in the Curral’s Cove and Lagoon Complex of Guaraíras (CLG) in the municipality of Tibau do Sul/RN. Whistles are emitted with lower frequency during rainy season and spring tide while clicks are higher; whistles, clicks and calls have higher frequency during ebb tide. These modifications can be related with turbidity and prey availability. The whistles and clicks occurrence are higher at night probably because luminosity is lower. Furthermore, the whistles and clicks frequency reduction overnight allows the sound to travel longer distance and helps the view which is limited; but the minimum frequency increase was needed to catch the prey. The low occurrence of calls could be related to the small group size. The acoustic changes at night may be partly influenced by light levels as prey availability that is larger in this period. Whistle frequencies and click initial frequency are higher in CLG than Curral’s cove that permitted good precision. However, click central frequency is lower and may be connected to tracking the area. Several factors may be associated with such modifications as background noise, bottom and others. This study supports the hypothesis that S. guianensis presents an acoustic plasticity according to the local conditions where the species is embedded and adapts to the environmental changes.

Gato-do-mato-pequeno (Leopardus tigrinus) na Caatinga: ocupação e padrão de atividade de um felídeo ameaçado e pouco conhecido na floresta tropical seca do nordeste do Brasil

While the carnivores are considered regulators and structuring of natural communities are also extremely threatened by human activities. Endangered little-spotted-cat (Leopardus tigrinus) is one of the lesser known species from the Neotropical cats. In this work we investigate the occupancy and the activity pattern of L. tigrinus in Caatinga of Rio Grande do Norte testing: 1) how environmental and anthropogenic factors influence their occupation and 2) how biotic and abiotic factors influence their activity pattern. For this we raised occurrence data of species in 10 priority areas for conservation. We built hierarchical models of occupancy based on maximum likelihood to represent biological hypotheses which were ranked using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). According to the results the feline occupancy is more likely away from rural settlements and in areas with a higher proportion of woody vegetation. The opportunistic killing of L. tigrinus and in retaliation for poultry predation close to residential areas can explain this result; as well as more complex vegetation structure can better serve as refuge and ensure more food. Analyzing the records of the species through circular statistics we conclude that the activity pattern is mostly nocturnal, although considerable crepuscular and a small diurnal activity. L. tigrinus activity was directly affected by the availability of small terrestrial mammals, which are essentially nocturnal. In addition, the temperatures recorded in the environment directly and indirectly affect the activity of the little-spotted-cat, as also influence the activity of their potential prey. Generally, the cats were more active when possible prey were active, and this happened at night when lower temperatures are recorded. Moreover, the different lunar phases did not affect the activity pattern. The results improve the understanding of an endangered feline inhabiting the Caatinga biome, and thus can help develop conservation and management strategies, as well as in planning future research in this semi-arid ecosystem.

Impacto do Programa Saúde da Família sobre indicadores de saúde da criança em municípios de grande porte da região Nordeste do Brasil

The present study carried out in the context of the Baseline Studies of the PROESF was aimed at evaluating the impact of the Family Health Program (PSF) on indicators for child health in cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants in the Brazilian Northeast. Four cities were investigated. In each one, twenty censual sectors were selected randomly from areas covered by the PSF and compared with twenty sectors selected from areas not covered by the PSF on the basis of socioeconomic criteria. In most cases, no significant differences were found between the areas covered and not covered by the PSF. The only difference found was a significantly lower rate of hospital admissions due to diarrhea but this was on account of the Program of Community Health Agents. The PSF exerted no additional effect on the reduction of this indicator. It was also observed that the way by which the program is implemented in each city interferes directly in the results. Thus, there is no basis for considering the PSF per se ineffective or not differing from other programs with regard to its health care patterns. An evaluation of the PSF would necessarily have to include an analysis of the way the program is implemented and conducted in each case, besides considering its general socioeconomical and political characteristics.

Avaliação dos cenários futuros na região nordeste do Brasil utilizando modelos climáticos globais: tendências de temperatura.

O Nordeste é a região brasileira mais vulnerável ao aquecimento global. Os modelos climáticos globais são a melhor ferramenta para projetar cenários prováveis de alterações climáticas para o futuro, apesar da incerteza envolvida. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizada uma avaliação da tendência da temperatura média nos cenários futuros previstos pelos modelos climáticos globais do IPCC para região Nordeste do Brasil. Foi realizada uma análise estatística básica dos dados de comparação entre os modelos. Foi possível agrupar os modelos em 5 grupos, desde modelos estimando temperaturas médias comparativamente inferiores em todos os meses a outros com valores superiores em todos os meses.

Métodos de estimação de evapotranspiração para a região nordeste do Brasil.

No estudo da evapotranspiração potencial (ETP) são utilizados métodos que, na maioria dos casos, não se aplicam satisfatoriamente à região Nordeste, entre eles, o método de Thornthwaite, que em condições de extrema aridez ou umidade não produz estimativas confiáveis. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar os métodos de Thornthwaite, Camargo original - 1971, Camargo Tef (corrigido pela temperatura media mensal) e Hargreaves e Samani (HS) com o método de Penman-Monteith, padrão FAO, segundo a parametrização de ALLEN et al. (1998). Como critério de comparação, foi utilizado o índice de (c), que considera o viés e precisão das estimativas. Foram observados valores de c inferiores a 0,40 (péssimo) para os métodos de Thornthwaite e Camargo-71 e superiores a 0,80 (muito bom) para Hargreaves-Samani (HS) e Camargo-Tef. No entanto, o método HS apresentou maior freqüência de índices de confiança (c) superiores a 0,80 (muito bom) nas avaliações mensais.
