Melhoramento genético da cultivar de milho BR 5033-Asa Branca no Nordeste Brasileiro

Cinco ciclos de seleção entre e dentro de progênies de meios-irmãos foram praticados na cultivar de milho BR 5033-Asa Branca, no período de 1993 a 1997, no Nordeste brasileiro, visando à obtenção de material mais produtivo do que o atual, e mais adaptável às condições edafoclimáticas da região. As 196 progênies foram avaliadas em látice 14 x 14, com duas repetições, efetuandose as recombinações dentro do mesmo ano agrícola, de modo a se obter uma geração por ano. A variabilidade genética da cultivar decresceu à medida que avançaram os ciclos de seleção; essa redução foi mais acentuada nos ciclos III e IV, quando a seleção foi efetuada em dois e três locais, respectivamente, e esteve menos influenciada pela interação progênies x locais. As altas magnitudes dos parâmetros genéticos mostraram que a cultivar BR 5033 possui alta variabilidade genética, a qual fornece perspectiva de aumentos subseqüentes de produção por seleção, o que, juntamente com o bom rendimento apresentado, e a sua precocidade, faz dessa cultivar alternativa importante para a agricultura nordestina.

A Study of Portland Cement Maintenance Mix and Set Accelerators, R-249, 1970

The large volume of traffic on the interstate system makes it difficult to make pavement repairs. The maintenance crew needs 4-5 hours to break out the concrete to be replaced and prepare the hole for placing new concrete. Because of this it is usually noon before the patch can be placed. Since it is desirable to remove the barricades before dark there are only 7-8 hours for the concrete to reach the required strength. There exists a need for a concrete that can reach the necessary strength (modulus of rupture = 500 psi) in 7-8 hours. The purpose of this study is to determine if type III cement and/or an accelerator can be used in an M-4 mix to yield a fast setting patch with very little shrinkage. It is recognized that calcium chloride is a corrosive material and may therefore have detrimental effects upon the reinforcing steel. The study of these effects, however, is beyond the scope of this investigation.

Who wrote the Second Ave maris stella of Tomás Luis de Victoria?

Contrary to what Felipe Pedrell indicates, the second Ave maris stella in his Victoria's collected works (vol. V, 1908, pp. 100-3, n° 33) doesn't appear in the collection published in 1600 in Madrid by the composer, nor in any other of the musician's books. In the 1600 edition, Victoria reissues the two first verses (plainchant followed by polyphony) of the Ave maris stella published in 1576 and then again in 1581. The earliest source of the problematic Ave maris stella is Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Musik-Abteilung, 2 Mus. pr. 23 handschriftlicher Beiband, dating from the third quarter oft he seventeenth century. This source is a manuscrit that runs as an appendix to the 1581 edition of Victoria's hymns. No attributions are given in the manuscript. The first attributions of the piece to Victoria arise in the nineteenth century, in manuscripts copied by Johann Michael Hauber, Johann Caspar Aiblinger, August Baumgartner and Carl Proske, and preserved in Munich and Regensburg. Proske pubished the piece in his Musica divina in 1859 (Annus primus, vol. III, pp. 419-24). The most probable hypothesis ist that Pedrell had knowledge of the second Ave maris stella, under the spanish composer's name, via Proske's Musica divina. In all likelihood the piece is not by Victoria, not least because the composer has never written odd polyphonic verses of hymns. In his Studies in the Music of Tomás Luis de Victoria (2001), Eugene Casjen Cramer relies on the supposed authenticity of the work to ascribe the others pieces of Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Musik-Abteilung, 2 Mus. pr. 23 handschriftlicher Beiband to the composer. These attributions should therefore be refuted.
