Dinâmica populacional de Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, 1856 (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) em pomares de duas variedades de citros em Montenegro, RS

Com o objetivo de avaliar a dinâmica populacional de Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, (Lep.: Gracillariidae), o minador-dos-citros, realizou-se amostragens quinzenais de julho de 2001 a junho de 2003 em um pomar de tangerineira ‘Montenegrina’ (Citrus deliciosa Tenore) e outro de tangoreiro ‘Murcott’ (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck X Citrus reticulata Blanco), com manejo orgânico, em Montenegro (29° 68’S e 51° 46’W), RS. Eram sorteadas 12 plantas, por ocasião de amostragem, das quais coletava-se oito brotos de cada. No laboratório registrava-se o comprimento, o número de folhas por broto, o número de minas, ovos, larvas e pupas. Em ambos pomares e nos dois anos de estudo, não houve registro de minas de P. citrella no primeiro fluxo de brotação. No primeiro ano, as maiores densidades de minas foram registradas no final da primavera, no verão e no outono em ambos cultivares. No segundo, constatou-se as maiores densidades de minas e larvas no verão e no outono em ‘Montenegrina’ e somente no verão em ‘Murcott’. No inverno só houve registro de minas em uma ocasião de amostragem em ‘Montenegrina’. Embora tenham sido registradas diferenças na disponibilidade de recurso para P. citrella, observou-se que a colonização e o estabelecimento do minador apresentou padrão semelhante em ambos pomares. A temperatura mínima foi o fator abiótico de maior influência no número de minas. Registrou-se um percentual de predação acima de 30% nos dois anos de estudos em ambos cultivares. Já o percentual de parasitismo foi 31,7% e 33,5% em ‘Montenegrina’ e 15,3% e 39,6% em ‘Murcott’, no primeiro e segundo ano, respectivamente. No estrato superior da copa constatou-se o maior percentual de folhas com minas, sendo o quadrante oeste o mais atacado em ‘Montenegrina’ e o sul em ‘Murcott’. Verificou-se o maior percentual de ovos e larvas em folhas de até 2,0 cm nos dois pomares e o de pupas em folhas de 3,1 a 4,0 cm em ‘Montenegrina’ e 4,1 a 5,0 cm em ‘Murcott’. Foram observados os maiores percentuais de ovos, larvas, pupas e minas na região mediana da face abaxial das folhas de ‘Montenegrina’ e na adaxial nas de ‘Murcott’. Estes resultados fornecem subsídios para o monitoramento e manejo da praga em duas das variedades de citros mais cultivadas no RS.

Povoações, freguesias e vilas na Paraíba Colonial: Pombal e Sousa, 1697-1800

The towns presently named Pombal and Sousa, located in the hinterland of the State of Paraíba, Brazil, still keep vestiges of the colonization process they went through along the 18th and 19th centuries, when they both emerged as settlement nuclei in the extreme West of the then captaincy of Paraíba and attained the status of freguesia and vila in a later period. This research aims to comprehend the process of urban formation and development of the colonial urban nuclei of Pombal and Sousa as they became povoados (hamlets), freguesias (parishes) and vilas (small urban communities with a local government), according to territorial expansion policies implemented by the Portuguese government from 1697 to 1800. The choice of the two urban settlements for this survey lies in the fact that they were part of the great conquest and colonization program undertaken by the Portuguese Crown. Another aspect that was considered was the fact that those towns are the oldest urban nuclei of Paraíba s hinterland. They came into being as early as in the times of the colony, thus producing a favorable environment to the study of the changes that occurred in the captaincy s hinterland scenery resulting from the process of formation and development of the colonial urban space. Three fundamental categories of analysis were defined since they have a direct bearing upon the urban configuration of the two colonization nuclei: povoado, freguesia and vila. The three of them are related to civil and ecclesiastic jurisdictions. Field, documentation and bibliography surveys were undertaken in order to develop the study. They allowed for the finding of vestiges of the old, colonial urban structures and for the development of theoretical analysis based on present-day studies of issues relating to the colonial urban history. The study purposes were, therefore, to try to understand how the old urban nuclei of Pombal and Sousa fit in the territorial expansion policies undertaken by the Portuguese government; to relate the process of urban formation and development of such nuclei with the categories of analysis povoação-freguesia-vila by discussing the relations and influences they exert over one another and their territory, as well as to unveil, as much as possible, the configuration the urban spaces that were shaped along the 18th century

New record of Trichospilus diatraeae Margabandhu & Cherian, 1942 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) parasitizing Sarsina violascens (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1856) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) in Brazil

This is the first report of Trichospilus diatracae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) found in the field, parasitizing pupae of the eucalyptus defoliating Sarsina violascens (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1856) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) in Brazil. This offers a new perspectives for the use of this parasitoid in biological control programs against caterpillars of forestry importance.

Flavor mixing in a Lee-type model

An exactly solvable quantum field theory (QFT) model of Lee type is constructed to study how neutrino flavor eigenstates are created through interactions and how the localization properties of neutrinos follows from the parent particle that decays. The two-particle states formed by the neutrino and the accompanying charged lepton can be calculated exactly as well as their creation probabilities. We can show that the coherent creation of neutrino flavor eigenstates follows from the common negligible contribution of neutrino masses to their creation probabilities. on the other hand, it is shown that it is not possible to associate a well-defined flavor to coherent superpositions of charged leptons.

Um visitante inglês na Bahia de 1800

Apresentamos aqui, precedido de uma introdução explicativa, o fragmento de uma narrativa de viagem relativa ao Brasil, escrita pelo comerciante inglês John Turnbull em 1805, intitulada A Voyage round the world in the years 1800, 1801, 1802, 1803 and 1804. Turnbull aportou na Baía de Todos os Santos em agosto de 1800, permanecendo quatro ou cinco dias na cidade. Apesar da brevidade da visita, suas impressões sobre o Brasil trazem, entre outras coisas, curiosas notas sobre a situação de Portugal e de sua rica colônia dos trópicos no então conturbado cenário político europeu.

The symmetry group of Z(q)(n) in the Lee space and the Z(qn)-linear codes

The Z(4)-linearity is a construction technique of good binary codes. Motivated by this property, we address the problem of extending the Z(4)-linearity to Z(q)n-linearity. In this direction, we consider the n-dimensional Lee space of order q, that is, (Z(q)(n), d(L)), as one of the most interesting spaces for coding applications. We establish the symmetry group of Z(q)(n) for any n and q by determining its isometries. We also show that there is no cyclic subgroup of order q(n) in Gamma(Z(q)(n)) acting transitively in Z(q)(n). Therefore, there exists no Z(q)n-linear code with respect to the cyclic subgroup.
