Diante dos impactos causados pela atividade agropecuária moderna, o sistema de integração lavoura-pecuária-floresta (ILPF) apresenta uma alternativa viável para o desenvolvimento agrícola, pastoril e silvicultor de modo que os mesmos se complementem e diminuam os impactos sobre o uso do solo. A conversão para sistemas ILPF pode causar alterações na cobertura do solo, fazendo com que o mesmo atue como fonte ou sumidouro de dióxido de carbono (CO2) da atmosfera. Nesse contexto, estudos acerca das mudanças climáticas constataram que o CO2 armazenado na biosfera terrestre, ao ser perdido por emissões, aumenta a concentração de gases do efeito estufa na atmosfera (GEE), como o CO2, podendo causar alterações climáticas a nível global e de ecossistema. As medições da concentração do CO2 ([CO2]) atmosférico podem indicar a resposta dos fatores bióticos às forçantes atmosféricas. As medidas do perfil vertical da [CO2] foram obtidas durante o período de 15 a 16 de junho de 2016, em sistemas de ILPF com teca e mogno africano, no município de Terra Alta, PA. Durante o dia houve menos estratificação entre os níveis instalados no mogno africano em relação a teca. [CO2] diminuiu a partir de 08:40, atingindo os menores valores às 10:00 e 13:00. A maior [CO2] foi ao amanhecer (05:30 horas) tanto no mogno africano quanto na teca. Em ambos, os níveis próximos ao chão apresentaram as maiores [CO2].

A produção de soja na região norte do estado do Paraná é responsável por contribuir imensurávelmente com a balança comercial do estado do Paraná, sabe-se que a soja possue um papel fundamental na economia agrícola da região norte do estado do Paraná onde se localizam as cidades de Cambé, Ibiporã, Londrina, Rolândia e Tamarana. O clima não é somente uma variável que marca o ritmo das estações do ano, é um fenômeno natural produzido pelo sistema Sol-Atmosfera-Terra, e exerce grande influência nas atividades humanas. Na agricultura, o clima pode ser aliado ou inimigo no plantio, no desenvolvimento, na produção e no rendimento final de grãos. Dessa forma, ao enfocar a soja como cultura líder na balança comercial brasileira, deve-se levar em consideração sua fisiologia que a define sendo uma cultura de verão, justamente pelo fato de germinar apenas com temperaturas superiores a 13º C. Para analisar possíveis interferências pluviométricas na cultura da soja, foram coletados dados de precipitação pluviométrica e de rendimento de soja das safras de 2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09 e 2009/10. Os mapas cartográficos foram desenvolvidos segundo tais dados e contrapostos com o intuito de favorecer a análise dos resultados obtidos. Neste artigo, foram feitas analises especificamente das safras de 2005/06, sendo uma contribuição preliminar. O município de Londrina, tanto pela sua área territorial, quanto pelos investimentos no setor agrícola, destaca-se na produção de soja, exceto na safra de 2005/06, cujo rendimento final do grão foi inferior ao do município de Cambé. A precipitação média do mês de janeiro para o município de Londrina apresenta-se com média mensal de 76 mm, isso pode ser justificado pela ocorrência de um período de estiagem em janeiro de 2006 que afetou o município de Londrina, contribuindo com uma redução considerável no rendimento final da soja para o município.

O uso indiscriminado das terras, sem levar em conta suas potencialidades e graus de sensibilidade ambiental (fragilidade e/ou estabilidade) dos agroecossistemas, é uma das principais causas da degradação do solo, erosão e perda de sua capacidade produtiva. O objetivo central deste trabalho foi propor uma classificação de sensibilidade ambiental e avaliar a aptidão agrícola das terras da quadrícula de Ribeirão Preto-SP, visando identificar a fragilidade, estabilidade e potencialidade quanto ao uso das terras, como subsídios ao planejamento e gestão ambiental. A área localiza-se entre as coordenadas: 21°00' a 21°30' S e 47°30' a 48°00' WGr. Para a classificação da sensibilidade ambiental utilizou-se a equação universal de perda de solo (EUPS), tolerância de perdas do solo e índice de fragilidade; para avaliação do potencial agrícola, foi adotado o sistema de avaliação da aptidão agrícola das terras, com modificações. A classificação da sensibilidade ambiental, no nível de manejo B, revelou que 75,34% da quadrícula possui áreas com estabilidade variando entre muito estável, estável e moderadamente estável, e 20,91% de áreas frágeis e muito frágeis; no nível de manejo C, 82,03% das áreas Apresentaram estabilidade variando entre muito estável, estável e moderadamente estável, e 14,22% de áreas frágeis e muito frágeis. Na avaliação do potencial agrícola, foi encontrado que 77,73% das terras são adequadas para o uso com lavouras; 15,55% têm uso mais indicado para pasto Plantado, silvicultura e pastagem natural; e 2,97% foram indicadas para preservação da fauna e flora. A classificação da sensibilidade ambiental e avaliação da aptidão agrícola são importantes ferramentas, podendo subsidiar trabalhos sobre planejamento agroambiental e gerenciamentos ambientais.

Multi-element analyses of sediment samples from the Santos-Cubatão Estuarine System were carried out to investigate the spatial and seasonal variability of trace-element concentrations. The study area contains a rich mangrove ecosystem that is a habitat for tens of thousands of resident and migratory birds, some of them endangered globally. Enrichments of metals in fine-grained surface sediments are, in decreasing order, Hg, Mn, La, Ca, Sr, Cd, Zn, Pb, Ba, Cu, Cr, Fe, Nb, Y, Ni and Ga, relative to pre-industrial background levels. The maximum enrichment ranged from 49 (Hg) to 3.1 (Ga). Mercury concentrations were greater in the Cubatão river than in other sites, while the other elements showed greater concentrations in the Morrão river. Concentrations of Mn were significantly greater in winter and autumn than in summer and spring. However, other elements (e.g. Cd and Pb) showed the opposite, with greater concentrations in summer and spring. This study suggests that seasonal changes in physical and chemical conditions may affect the degree of sediment enrichment and therefore make the assessment of contamination difficult. Consequently, these processes need to be considered when assessing water quality and the potential contamination of biota.

A solid-phase in-line extraction system for water samples containing low levels of emerging contaminants is described. The system was specially developed for large volume samples (up to 4 L) using commercial solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. Four sets containing PTFE-made connectors, brass adapters and ball valves were used to fit SPE cartridges and sample bottles to a 4-port manifold attached to a 20 L carboy. A lab-made vacuum device was connected to the manifold cap. The apparatus is robust and less expensive than the typical available system. Its also provides less experimental handling, avoiding cross contamination and sample losses.

One of the main referring subjects to the solar energy is how to compare it economically with other sources of energy, as much alternatives as with conventionals (like the electric grid). The purpose of this work was to develop a software which congregates the technical and economic main data to identify, through methods of microeconomic analysis, the commercial viability in the sizing of photovoltaic systems, besides considering the benefits proceeding from the proper energy generation. Considering the period of useful life of the components of the generation system of photovoltaic electricity, the costs of the energy proceeding from the conventional grid had been identified. For the comparison of the conventional sources, electric grid and diesel generation, three scenes of costs of photovoltaic panels and two for the factor of availability of diesel generation had been used. The results have shown that if the cost of the panels is low and the place of installation is more distant of the electric grid, the photovoltaic system becomes the best option.

A base-cutter represented for a mechanism of four bars, was developed using the Autocad program. The normal force of reaction of the profile in the contact point was determined through the dynamic analysis. The equations of dynamic balance were based on the laws of Newton-Euler. The linkage was subject to an optimization technique that considered the peak value of soil reaction force as the objective function to be minimized while the link lengths and the spring constant varied through a specified range. The Algorithm of Sequential Quadratic Programming-SQP was implemented of the program computational Matlab. Results were very encouraging; the maximum value of the normal reaction force was reduced from 4,250.33 to 237.13 N, making the floating process much less disturbing to the soil and the sugarcane rate. Later, others variables had been incorporated the mechanism optimized and new otimization process was implemented .

The present work aimed the development of a low cost servo-valve that answers to an electronic control signal, for variable rates liquid inputs application. A literature research to define which valve type should be used was made. A mechanically activated proportional valve with an electronically controlled servo-engine was designed and evaluated. Since developed the servo-valve, the system was submited to a number of tests .The evaluation of its behavior was obtained in terms of repeatability, hystheresis and linearity. The test was accomplished in a bench, specially developed for this aim. As a result, were obtained three curves of opening percentage as function of flow rate, describing three opening and closing increments in two different work pressures. The servo-valve presented a good repeatability, reasonable hysteresis and a typically quadratic curve. This one maintained the low cost target. These results were very satisfied because the non-linearity and the hysteresis could be easily corrected by software.
