In order to evaluate the hind limbs of caviomorph rodents a descriptive analysis of the Cuniculus paca (Linnaeus, 1766) and Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus, 1766) was performed using anatomical specimens, radiography, computed tomography (CT) and full-coloured prototype models to generate bone anatomy data. The appendicular skeleton of the two largest rodents of Neotropical America was compared with the previously reported anatomical features of Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769) and domestic Cavia porcellus (Linnaeus, 1758). The structures were analyzed macroscopically and particular findings of each species reported. Features including the presence of articular fibular projection and lunulae were observed in the stifle joint of all rodents. Imaging aided in anatomical description and, specifically in the identification of bone structures in Cuniculus paca and Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris. The imaging findings were correlated with the anatomical structures observed. The data may be used in future studies comparing these animals to other rodents and mammalian species. © 2012 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.

Purpose: This paper aims to evaluate the consumer acceptance of Bordô and Isabel wines from innovative winemaking in order to increase red wine consumption by consumers to obtain nutritional benefits. Design/methodology/approach: All wines were produced by a standard procedure of vinification. Pre-drying treatment aimed at drying the grapes up to 22°Brix and static pomace wines presented the constant contact between the must and pomace. Sensory acceptance was carried out by 80 consumers who evaluated eight samples (six experimental wines and two commercial wines) concerning the attributes: appearance, aroma, body, flavor and overall acceptance. Findings: Experimental wines presented higher acceptance when compared to commercial wines and cluster analysis shows the splitting of consumer preferences, highlighting the higher acceptance of traditional Bordô wine and static pomace samples in all sensory attributes. Pre-drying process enhances the concentration of coloured compounds, to highlight the appearance acceptance of these samples. Research limitations/implications: Although this paper has limited the consumer acceptance of red table wines, the innovative treatments will be applied in Vitis vinifera red wines. Practical implications: The wide acceptance of static pomace and pre-drying wines has promoted further information about innovative winemaking that can be applied in Brazilian and worldwide wineries. Social implications: The innovative treatments can change sensorial features of wines and therefore influence the choice of consumers as well as enhancing the nutritional benefits of red wines. Originality/value: The pre-drying and static pomace winemaking are the novelty of this study and the wide acceptance of the sensory attributes concerning these treatments indicates the potential for application in wineries. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

Human eyes have a remarkable ability to recognize hundreds of colour shades, which has stimulated the use of colorants, especially for clothing, but toxicological studies have shown that some textile dyes can be hazardous to human health. Under conditions of intense perspiration, dyes can migrate from coloured clothes and penetrate into human skin. Garments made from cotton fabrics are the most common clothing in tropical countries, due to their high temperatures. Aiming to identify safe textile dyes for dyeing cotton fabrics, the genotoxicity [in vitro Comet assay with normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF), Tail Intensity] and mutagenicity [Salmonella/microsome preincubation assay (30 min), tester strains TA98, TA100, YG1041 and YG1042] of Reactive Blue 2 (RB2, CAS No. 12236-82-7, C.I. 61211) and Reactive Green 19 (RG19, CAS No. 61931-49-5, C.I. 205075) were evaluated both in the formulated form and as extracted from cotton fibres using different artificial sweats. Both the dyes could migrate from cotton fibres to sweat solutions, the sweat composition and pH being important factors during this extraction. However, the dye sweat solutions showed no genotoxic/mutagenic effects, whereas a weak mutagenic potential was detected by the Ames test for both dyes in their formulated form. These findings emphasize the relevance of textile dyes assessment under conditions that more closely resemble human exposure, in order to recognize any hazard. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Este trabalho consistiu na investigação geofísica da possível contaminação de um posto de combustíveis em Belém-PA, bem como no desenvolvimento de um simulador geofísico para fins educativos. A investigação consistiu no levantamento de 13 perfis com o método geofísico eletromagnético Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Os radargramas obtidos, conjuntamente com os dados pré-existentes de sondagens mecânicas, Volatile Organics Compounds (VOC) e Benzeno-Tolueno-Etil-benzeno-Xileno (BTEX), permitiram identificar zonas de baixa reflexão do sinal eletromagnético (zonas atenuadas) em áreas com predominância de areia, o que indicaria contaminação. Como as medidas de GPR foram repetidas no período chuvoso, foi possível observar a redução da atenuação em perfil rico em areia, indicando a lixiviação dos ácidos graxos oriundos da biodegradação dos hidrocarbonetos, bem como o aumento da atenuação provocada pela argila, devido a sua elevada porosidade, e também, possivelmente, pelo aumento da biodegradação dos hidrocarbonetos que ficam retidos na argila. Este resultado constitui o primeiro caso inserido no simulador geofísico, experimento que permite mostrar o uso de diferentes métodos geofísicos. O simulador possui duas telas computacionais, a debaixo para simulação do modelo de subsuperfície escolhido e, a tela de cima, para representação da resposta geofísica obtida com o auxílio de uma unidade ótica que percorre o perfil representado na tela debaixo. Trata-se de uma modelagem analógica com recursos computacionais ainda não reportada na literatura, que permitirá mostrar diversos casos investigados constantes em dissertações e teses. O simulador poderá ser deslocado para empresas, universidades e secretarias, que fazem ou podem fazer uso da Geofísica, além de praças, escolas, etc., contribuindo de forma incisiva para a difusão da Geofísica como ferramenta na gestão de áreas contaminadas bem como para chamar a atenção da população para diferentes tipos de problemas, de modo a instruí-la sobre os mesmos.
