Caracterização dos agroecossistemas no PDS Nova Esperança/Iranduba-AM.

O presente trabalho foi realizado no PDS Nova esperança. As atividades coleta de dados com a utilização de um DRP, que permitiu ter um ?retrato? da realidade local e facilitou. Avaliou-se que o assentamento enfrenta muitas dificuldades como, organização social fragilizada, problema de falta de água, e a má utilização do solo, ausência de transporte e conflitos internos gerados pelo desconhecimento da modalidade de assentamento onde vivem e por conta do processo histórico de ocupação da área do assentamento.

Transição agroecológica no PDS Nova Esperança: desafios do uso da adubação orgânica na recuperação do solo.

Os produtores que participam desse projeto estão passando pelo processo de transição agroecológica utilizando insumos orgânicos presentes nas suas propriedades para a fabricação da compostagem, material rico em nutrientes e substâncias húmicas que pode ser aplicado beneficamente ao solo. Através de visitas ao local foram realizados acompanhamentos das atividades desenvolvidas juntamente com entrevistas abertas e questionários, realizaram-se um levantamento dos materiais que esses produtores utilizam como adubo na prática da compostagem, bem como a distribuição desses materiais no local, seu nome vulgar, e o potencial dos mesmos para essa prática.

Construção do conhecimento agroecológico com agricultores familiares no PDS Nova Esperança, Iranduba, AM.

Na perspectiva de viabilizar sistemas de produção mais sustentáveis do ponto de vista ambiental e para saúde dos agricultores, principalmente, sem a utilização de agrotóxicos, é que foram instalados em áreas de agricultores familiares, do PDS Nova Esperança, unidades de construção de conhecimento em práticas agroecológicas. Nesses locais os agricultores põem em prática os conteúdos trabalhados nas oficinas teóricas e são estimulados a realizarem pequenas modificações no seu cotidiano visando a transição de uma agricultura baseada em agroquímicos para a agroecologia.

Detection of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 2(PAI-2) in gingival crevicular fluid from healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients

Background: The regulation of plasminogen activation is a key element in controlling proteolytic events in the extracellular matrix. Our previous studies had demonstrated that in inflamed gingival tissues, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) is significantly increased in the extracellular matrix of the connective tissue and that interleukin 1β (IL-1β) can up regulate the level of t-PA and plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2) synthesis by human gingival fibroblasts. Method: In the present study, the levels of t-PA and PAI-2 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were measured from healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis sites and compared before and after periodontal treatment. Crevicular fluid from106 periodontal sites in 33 patients were collected. 24 sites from 11 periodontitis patients received periodontal treatment after the first sample collection and post-treatment samples were collected 14 days after treatment. All samples were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for t-PA and PAI-2. Results: The results showed that significantly high levels of t-PA and PAI-2 in GCF were found in the gingivitis and periodontitis sites. Periodontal treatment led to significant decreases of PAI-2, but not t-PA, after 14 days. A significant positive linear correlation was found between t-PA and PAI-2 in GCF (r=0.80, p<0.01). In the healthy group, different sites from within the same subject showed little variation of t-PA and PAI-2 in GCF. However, the gingivitis and periodontitis sites showed large variation. These results suggest a good correlation between t-PA and PAI-2 with the severity of periodontal conditions. Conclusion: This study indicates that t-PA and PAI-2 may play a significant rôle in the periodontal tissue destruction and tissue remodeling and that t-PA and PAI-2 in GCF may be used as clinical markers to evaluate the periodontal diseases and assess treatment.

Give way to great charms of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

A travel article about Halifax, Nova Scotia. MOTORISTS in Nova Scotia are so polite it's almost a shame to leave, writes Kari Gislason. By the end of my second day in Halifax, I begin to develop deep concerns about the safety of the locals, or the Haligonians as they're known. I wonder how they ever leave their fair city or, perhaps more to the point, how they ever make it back...

Experience the sights & sounds of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

A travel article about Nova Scotia, and the area's annual Celtic music festival. I ARRIVED in Cape Breton on the occasion of the Fibre Festival, run not only by the South Haven Guild of Weavers but also the Baddeck Quilters Guild. And yet I might not have noticed that it was on, had it not been for a car, shrouded entirely by a quilt cover, that was parked outside the Volunteer Fire Department Hall. I was on my way to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum a little further along Baddeck's main street. But I stopped, for who wouldn't stop to look at the various fibres of Cape Breton. The hall had been divided between weavers and quilters. Naturally, I left hoping that one day this ancient divide might be healed...

Follow the lighthouse route in Nova Scotia, Canada

Within half an hour of leaving Halifax Airport I managed to get myself lost. I noticed an exit sign for St Margaret’s Bay and, despite written instructions to the contrary, it sounded like the right way to go. But I was on the Lighthouse Route and on my way back to Halifax...

Expected Performance of the ATLAS Experiment - Detector, Trigger and Physics

A detailed study is presented of the expected performance of the ATLAS detector. The reconstruction of tracks, leptons, photons, missing energy and jets is investigated, together with the performance of b-tagging and the trigger. The physics potential for a variety of interesting physics processes, within the Standard Model and beyond, is examined. The study comprises a series of notes based on simulations of the detector and physics processes, with particular emphasis given to the data expected from the first years of operation of the LHC at CERN.

Part II: A Fully Integrated RF PA in 28-nm CMOS With Device Design for Optimized Performance and ESD Robustness

In this paper, we report drain-extended MOS device design guidelines for the RF power amplifier (RF PA) applications. A complete RF PA circuit in a 28-nm CMOS technology node with the matching and biasing network is used as a test vehicle to validate the RF performance improvement by a systematic device design. A complete RF PA with 0.16-W/mm power density is reported experimentally. By simultaneous improvement of device-circuit performance, 45% improvement in the circuit RF power gain, 25% improvement in the power-added efficiency at 1-GHz frequency, and 5x improvement in the electrostatic discharge robustness are reported experimentally.
