Comportamento Espacial dos Percentis 75 da Precipitação Decencial para O Estado de São Paulo, Na Primavera

No presente estudo foi avaliada a distribuição espacial do percentil 75 da precipitação decendial para o Estado de São Paulo, utilizando-se um total de 136 postos pluviométricos com séries acima de 27 anos de registros. Em um estágio preliminar os valores dos percentis 75 da precipitação decendial foram georeferenciados, permitindo a utilização de técnicas da geoestatística para proceder à interpolação dos dados. Modelos experimentais de semivariogramas padronizados foram obtidos, utilizando-se a variância amostral como fator de escalonamento, permitindo a verificação de proporcionalidade entre os modelos e agrupando-os sob a mesma tendência. O modelo teórico exponencial foi o que melhor se ajustou aos semivariogramas experimentais, seguido pelo modelo esférico. Os parâmetros estimados para os modelos, efeito pepita, patamar e alcance foram utilizados para a realização da krigagem e confecção dos mapas de isolinhas. A distribuição espacial dos percentis 75 da precipitação decendial reflete o comportamento da circulação atmosférica no Estado, apresentando alta variabilidade. As regiões oeste , sudoeste e noroeste apresentaram as menores intensidades de precipitação e foram variáveis de acordo com os níveis temporais na primavera. A região litorânea apresentou as maiores intensidades de precipitação para quase todos os níveis temporais estudados, diferenciando-se das demais regiões do Estado. A exceção foi à região nordeste no final da primavera que apresentou valores de intensidades maiores do que os registrados no litoral. A faixa litorânea apresentou comportamento homogêneo, detectado pelo forte agrupamento das isolinhas em quase todos os decêndios analisados.

Correlação entre produção de feijão e atributos físicos de um Latossolo em Mato Grosso do Sul

In Brazil, common bean is in one of the most representative economic crops, not only because of its growing area but also because of the economic value of its production. In the crop year 2006/07, in Selvíria (MS), we analyzed the common bean yield as a function of some physical attributes of a Typic Acrustox in minimum tillage and center pivot irrigation system. The aim of this work was to evaluate among the soil physical attributes, under minimum tillage, those that better explain the variability of bean yield using the Pearson and spatial correlations,. A geostatistical grid was installed to collect data from soil and plants, with 117 sampling points in an area of 2025 m² and homogeneous slope of 0.055 m m-1. The results showed a low yield of bean, which occurred probably due to a lower density of plants that the system provided. Thus, for the minimum tillage system, the bean yield could be explained as a function of total porosity and bulk density.

Emissão luminescente no titanato de cálcio dopado com íons de terras-raras

Through the polymeric precursor method were synthesized samples Ca0.98Sr0.01X0.01TiO3 (X= Eu3+, Sm3+ and Pr3+), which under different heat treatments were obtained with levels of distinct structural order-disorder. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, confirming the obtaining of ahomogeneous material with perovskite-type orthorhombic structure. This characterization allowed evaluating the average crystallite size of the samples that varies depending on the rare-earth ion. The results of photoluminescence emission confirmed the presence of this optical phenomenon at room temperature and its relationship to the level of order-disorder structural system. The photoluminescence emission is more intense in samples annealed at 500 ° C (independent on the dopant ion), the variation of the dopant influence on the emission intensity due to charge transfer between the host and emitting rare-earth ion, where the doped with Pr3+ ion has charge transfer more efficient and hence more intense emission in the photoluminescence. Another factor that favors the optical property of the samples is the charge compensation, as it contributes to the increase in structural disorder due to formation of Ca2+ vacancies.

Uso de sombras na correção do efeito vinhete

When registering spectral radiance from surface targets, digital numbers recorded by the imagery sensor may vary. Such variation causes imperfections on the images coming from aerial surveys. Variation in the image brightness related to the distance from the center of the image is known as the vignetting effect. Correcting this effect aims at achieving an homogeneous image brightness. The purpose of this paper is to present a specific methodology to determine a model in order to minimize this vignette effect based on a model fit by Least Squares Method (LSM), using digital numbers (DN) from shadowed regions. The main hypothesis is that the recorded DN of shadow pixels should be suitable to model the vignetting effect. Considering that the vignetting effect could be modeled as a trend of spatial image variation, a trend surface analysis of a sample of pixels from shadowed regions was carried out. Two approaches were adopted to represent the shadow regions of an image. The first one takes into account the components R, G, B of the aerial image within the visible spectral band, and the second one considers the component I of the HSI image. In order to evaluate the methodology, a study case with a color aerial image was carried out. The findings showed that the best results were obtained by applying the model in the RGB components, which allows to conclude that the vignetting effect can be modeled based on trend surfaces fit on shadow regions DN.

High intensity exercise training worsens alveolar destruction in pulmonary emphysema rats

OBJECTIVE: Investigation of standard intensities of physical exercise is important to better comprehend and develop rehabilitation programs for emphysema. We aimed to evaluate the effects of different intensities (moderate and high-intensity) of physical exercise on the development of a protease-induced (papain intratracheal instillation) emphysema in rats. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were randomly separated into five groups that received intratracheal instillation of papain solution or vehicle: (i) papain high intensity exercise, (ii) papain moderate exercise, (iii) saline high intensity exercise, (iv) saline sedentary and (v) papain sedentary. Forty days after intratracheal instillation, the exercise groups were submitted to an exercise-training protocol on a treadmill during 10 weeks, 5 days/week, at 0.9 km/h (Papain and saline high exercise), or at 0.6 km/h (papain moderate exercise).We measured respiratory system elastance and resistance, the collagen fiber lung parenchyma, and the pulmonary mean linear intercept. RESULTS: All animal groups that received papain instillation presented higher alveolar wall destruction compared to animals that received only saline solution. The papain high intensity exercise group presented higher values of mean linear intercept compared to emphysema groups that were trained at a moderate intensity or not submitted to exercise. CONCLUSION: High intensity exercise training worsened alveolar destruction in an experimental model of emphysema in rats when compared to moderate intensity exercise, or to no exercise.
