Redução da interferência de Brachiaria plantaginea (link) hitch. em milho através de capinas e aplicação de herbicidas em diferentes épocas

O rendimento de grãos de milho é afetado pela interferência com as plantas daninhas, que pode variar em função da eficiência e da época de realização do método de controle utilizado no manejo da cultura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar os efeitos da aplicação de herbicidas e de capinas em diferentes épocas sobre o controle de plantas daninhas e o rendimento de grãos na cultura do milho. O experimento foi instalado no sistema convencional de preparo do solo em Eldorado do Sul (RS), no ano agrícola 1997/98. A espécie de planta daninha predominante na área experimental foi Brachiaria plantaginea (BRAPL), em infestação média de 285 plantas por m². Os tratamentos foram constituídos pela aplicação isolada, seqüencial ou em mistura em tanque, em diferentes doses e épocas, dos herbicidas atrazine, atrazine + óleo vegetal, metolachlor e nicosulfuron. Todos os tratamentos com herbicidas foram correspondidos por tratamentos em que se utilizou capina manual com início na mesma época de aplicação dos herbicidas. O controle realizado em pré-emergência ou no início do desenvolvimento da cultura proporcionou maior rendimento de grãos, mesmo com a diminuição do controle de BRAPL no final do ciclo. As aplicações seqüenciais de herbicidas proporcionaram maior rendimento de grãos do que as misturas em tanque. Os rendimentos de grãos obtidos com a aplicação de herbicidas nas diversas épocas não foram diferentes em relação às suas respectivas capinas.

The obstacles for cross-border transmission network investments in the Nordic electricity market: Case South-West link

The Nordic electricity market is often seen as an example of how to create a working, developed and integrated electricity market. Nevertheless, this thesis studies the obstacles of transmission network investments and the market integration challenges in the Nordic electricity market. The main focus is in the Nordic Transmission system operators (TSOs), which have a key role in grid development. This study introduces a case study of cancellation of South-West link, Western part, which was seen as essential grid investment in order to improve the Nordic electricity market functioning but ended up with cancellation in 2013. This study includes semi-structured theme interviews of the experts among Nordic electricity industry stakeholders. Despite the political will to create more equal prices for electricity in the Nordic market, the differing national regulation, mixed incentives created by bottleneck income and the focus moving from Nordic integration to European integration may create challenges to the Nordic electricity market integration in the future.

ClC-5 chloride channel and kidney stones: what is the link?

Nephrolithiasis is one of the most common diseases in the Western world. The disease manifests itself with intensive pain, sporadic infections, and, sometimes, renal failure. The symptoms are due to the appearance of urinary stones (calculi) which are formed mainly by calcium salts. These calcium salts precipitate in the renal papillae and/or within the collecting ducts. Inherited forms of nephrolithiasis related to chromosome X (X-linked hypercalciuric nephrolithiasis or XLN) have been recently described. Hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and male predominance are the major characteristics of these diseases. The gene responsible for the XLN forms of kidney stones was cloned and characterized as a chloride channel called ClC-5. The ClC-5 chloride channel belongs to a superfamily of voltage-gated chloride channels, whose physiological roles are not completely understood. The objective of the present review is to identify recent advances in the molecular pathology of nephrolithiasis, with emphasis on XLN. We also try to establish a link between a chloride channel like ClC-5, hypercalciuria, failure in urine acidification and protein endocytosis, which could explain the symptoms exhibited by XLN patients.

A link between sleep loss, glucose metabolism and adipokines

The present review evaluates the role of sleep and its alteration in triggering problems of glucose metabolism and the possible involvement of adipokines in this process. A reduction in the amount of time spent sleeping has become an endemic condition in modern society, and a search of the current literature has found important associations between sleep loss and alterations of nutritional and metabolic contexts. Studies suggest that sleep loss is associated with problems in glucose metabolism and a higher risk for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanism involved may be associated with the decreased efficacy of regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis by negative feedback mechanisms in sleep-deprivation conditions. In addition, changes in the circadian pattern of growth hormone (GH) secretion might also contribute to the alterations in glucose regulation observed during sleep loss. On the other hand, sleep deprivation stress affects adipokines - increasing tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and decreasing leptin and adiponectin -, thus establishing a possible association between sleep-debt, adipokines and glucose metabolism. Thus, a modified release of adipokines resulting from sleep deprivation could lead to a chronic sub-inflammatory state that could play a central role in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Further studies are necessary to investigate the role of sleep loss in adipokine release and its relationship with glucose metabolism.

Resistência de quatro genótipos de amendoim à produção de aflatoxina B1 após inoculação com Aspergillus flavus Link

Avaliou-se a produção de aflatoxina B1 pelo Aspergillus flavus IMI 190443, inoculado em sementes de genótipos de amendoim: Tatu Vermelho, VRR-245, 2117 e 2155, in natura e autoclavado a 1210 C por 20 minutos, previamente cultivados no Centro Experimental do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, em 1995/96. A aflatoxina B1 foi quantificada por cromatografia em camada delgada, utilizando comparação visual com padrões. Os níveis de aflatoxina B1 das amostras autoclavadas e in natura dos genótipos Tatu Vermelho, VRR-245 e 2155 foram significativamente diferentes (p <0,05, Teste de Duncan) quando comparados aos níveis do genótipo 2117. O genótipo 2117, originário da Índia, apresentou independente do processo com e sem aquecimento os menores níveis de aflatoxina B1 em relação aos dos outros genótipos. Os resultados obtidos mostram perspectivas de exploração da resistência varietal no controle da aflatoxina.

Implementing Green IT approach for transferring Big Data over Parallel Data Link

The whole research of the current Master Thesis project is related to Big Data transfer over Parallel Data Link and my main objective is to assist the Saint-Petersburg National Research University ITMO research team to accomplish this project and apply Green IT methods for the data transfer system. The goal of the team is to transfer Big Data by using parallel data links with SDN Openflow approach. My task as a team member was to compare existing data transfer applications in case to verify which results the highest data transfer speed in which occasions and explain the reasons. In the context of this thesis work a comparison between 5 different utilities was done, which including Fast Data Transfer (FDT), BBCP, BBFTP, GridFTP, and FTS3. A number of scripts where developed which consist of creating random binary data to be incompressible to have fair comparison between utilities, execute the Utilities with specified parameters, create log files, results, system parameters, and plot graphs to compare the results. Transferring such an enormous variety of data can take a long time, and hence, the necessity appears to reduce the energy consumption to make them greener. In the context of Green IT approach, our team used Cloud Computing infrastructure called OpenStack. It’s more efficient to allocated specific amount of hardware resources to test different scenarios rather than using the whole resources from our testbed. Testing our implementation with OpenStack infrastructure results that the virtual channel does not consist of any traffic and we can achieve the highest possible throughput. After receiving the final results we are in place to identify which utilities produce faster data transfer in different scenarios with specific TCP parameters and we can use them in real network data links.
