Diario da viagem do Dr. Francisco Jose de Lacerda e Almeida pelas capitanias do Para, Rio Negro, Matto-Grosso, Cuyaba, e S. Paulo, nos annos de 1780 a 1790

O Diario..., como observa Borba de Moraes, "apresenta um roteiro muito resumido, mas muito exato" e, como diz Sacramento Blake, "atendendo ao que é escrito em viagem, e viagem de 648 léguas de terras invias e inexploradas. É, entretanto, trabalho de grande valor para a geografia dos lugares percorridos." O Diario... foi reeditado pelo Instituto Nacional do Livro em 1944.

Litter dynamics and phenology of Melaleuca quinquenervia in south Florida

We monitored litterfall biomass at six different sites of melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S.T. Blake) forested wetlands in South Florida from July 1997 to June 1999. Annual litterfall of melaleuca varied between sites from 6.5 to 9.9 t dry wt ha(-1) yr(1) over the two-year period. Litterfall was significantly higher (p < 0.0001) in scasonally flooded habitats (9.3 t ha(-1) yr(1)) than in non-flooded (7.5 t ha(-1) yr(1)) and permanently flooded habitats (8.0 t ha(-1) yr(1)). Leaf fall was the major component forming 70% of the total litter, woody material 16%, and reproductive material 11%. Phenology of flowering and leaf flush was investigated by examination of the timing and duration of the fall of different plant parts in the litter traps, coupled with monthly field observations during the two-year study. In both years, flowering began in October and November, with peak flowers production around December, and was essentially completed by February and March. New shoot growth began in mid winter after peak flowering, and extended into the spring. Very little new growth was observed in melaleuca forests during the summer months, from May to August, in South Florida. In contrast, the fall of leaves and small wood was recorded in every month of the year, but generally increased during the dry season with higher levels observed from February to April. Also, no seasonality was recorded in the fall of seed capsules, which apparently resulted from the continual self-thinning of small branches and twigs inside the forest stand. In planning management for perennial weeds, it is important to determine the period during its annual growth cycle when the plant is most susceptible to control measures. These phenological data suggest that the appropriate time for melaleuca control in South Florida might be during late winter and early spring, when the plant is most active.

Estimating above-ground biomass of Melaleuca quinquenervia in Florida, USA

One hundred and thirty-eight Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S. T. Blake (broad-leaved paperbark) trees were harvested from six sites in South Florida to formulate regression equations for estimating tree above-ground dry weight.

Projecto n. 48, Sessão de 4 de agosto de 1884 : parecer n. 48A, formulado em nome das Commissões Reunidas de Orçamento e Justiça Civil, acerca do projecto de emancipação dos escravos

Rui de Oliveira Barbosa, jurisconsulto e estadista, nasceu em Salvador, em 1849, e morreu em Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, em 1923. Iniciou o curso de Direito na Faculdade do Recife, em 1866, concluindo-se na Faculdade de Direito de São Paulo, em 1870. Entusiasta da campanha abolicionista, escreveu artigos, ainda como estudante, no jornal o Radical Paulistano e no Diário da Bahia. Elegeu-se deputado-geral pela Bahia, em 1878. Destacando-se nas discussões sobre as eleições diretas, abolição da escravatura e reforma do ensino. Com a Proclamação da República, foi nomeado Ministro da Fazenda do Governo Provisório e Vice-Presidente da República, quando defendeu a primeira Constituição da República na imprensa e no Parlamento. Em 1891, foi eleito Senador pela Bahia, mandato que desempenhou até sua morte, em 1923. Rui Barbosa foi autor dos decretos da proclamação da Bandeira Nacional, da liberdade de cultos e de tantos outros que estruturaram as instituições democráticas brasileiras. Em 1907, chefiou a delegação do Brasil à II Conferência da Paz, em Haia, onde defendeu o princípio da igualdade entre as nações. Sócio fundador da Academia Brasileira de Letras, foi eleito seu presidente, cargo que ocupou até 1919. Rui Barbosa não foi apenas notável como jurisconsulto, mas também como orador, conferencista, jornalista e escritor. Sendo considerado, hoje, um dos grandes clássicos da língua portuguesa. Projecto n. 48... de julho de 1884, traz, na íntegra, o projeto de lei, do qual Rui Barbosa foi relator, que objetivava abolir a escravatura no Brasil, mas que foi rejeitado pela Câmara dos Deputados. De acordo com Sacramento Blake, esse projeto foi publicado no Diário Oficial e depois em outra fontes da Corte.

Aquiculture and Marketing of the Florida Bay Scallop in Crystal River, Florida

The overall goal of this study was to develop a new fishery resource product through open-water aquaculture for the west coast of Florida that would compete as a non-traditional product through market development. Specific objectives were as follows: I. To grow a minimum of 50, 000 juvenile scallops to a minimum market size of40 mm in a cage and float system in the off-shore waters of Crystal River, Florida. 2. To determine the growth rate, survival, and time to market size for the individuals in this system and area to other similar projects like Virginia. 3. To introduce local fishermen and the aquaculture students at Crystal River High School to the hatchery, nursery, and grow-out techniques. 4. To determine the economic and financial characteristics of bay scallop culture in Florida and assess the sensitivity of projected costs and earnings to changes in key technical, managerial, and market related parameters. 5. To determine the market acceptability and necessary marketing strategy for whole bay scallop product in Florida. (PDF has 99 pages)
