Híbrido simples de milho (BRS 1030) submetido a diferentes sistemas de cultivo.

O consórcio de culturas, além de melhorar a qualidade do solo, proporciona maior produção por área do que o monocultivo. O estudo objetivou avaliar o desempenho do híbrido simples de milho BRS 1030 semeado em sistema iLPF, Santa Fé e Convencional. O delineamento experimental para análise das características agronômicas e produtivas do milho foi o de blocos casualizados, com seis repetições. Os valores de altura (planta e espiga) foram similares, comparando as médias dos sistemas. Os números de produtividade de grãos por ha não apresentaram diferença significativa, entretanto, verificou-se que os sistemas iLPF e Santa Fé, ambos com população cerca de 14% menordo que o sistema Convencional, proporcionaram maior produção por indivíduo, cerca de 13% superior à obtida no sistema Convencional. A produção de palhada foi superior no sistema Santa Fé (5.612,68 kg.ha-1) em relação aos demais sistemas. O desenvolvimento do milho nos sistemas iLPF e Santa Fé foram semelhantes e superiores ao sistema Convencional.

Desempenho de híbridos simples de milho para produtividade de grãos e forragem em região semiárida.

Resumo: A cultura do milho sofre grande instabilidade de cultivo em regiões semiáridas, ocasionada principalmente pela insuficiência de cultivares adaptadas somado a escassez pluviométrica. O presente trabalho tem por finalidade verificar o potencial de genótipos de híbridos de milho, comerciais e experimentais, quanto à produtividade de grãos e forragem nas condições semiárida Cearense. Na presente pesquisa, foram avaliados 36 genótipos de milho, sendo todos híbridos simples, desses, 32 são genótipos experimentais e quatro são comerciais. O delineamento utilizado foi o de blocos ao acaso com duas repetições. As parcelas foram constituídas de duas linhas de quatro metros com densidade de aproximadamente 66.667 mil plantas ha-1 . Observou-se que o ciclo fenológico da cultivar não influencia na produtividade de grão e de forragem. O índice de seleção de níveis independentes é uma opção eficiente para identificar cultivares com aptidão para produção de forragem.

ESTRATÉGIAS DE REPRODUÇAO SIMPLES E AMPLIADA: AGRICULTORES FAMILIARES VERSUS CAPITAL OLIGOPOLISTA DO SETOR PNEUMÁTICO

A presente pesquisa tem como tema central de análise a importância econômica e social da cultura de seringueira na Microrregião Geográfica de São José do Rio Preto. Diante do sistemático processo de exclusão social no campo, em especial após a modernização agrícola, a qual privilegiou a grande exploração em detrimento da pequena, o estudo se propõe analisar em que medida a heveicultura se apresenta como alternativa de geração de renda e fixação do homem na terra. Constatou-se que na Microrregião Geográfica de São José do Rio Preto a cultura da seringueira sempre se apresentou vantajosa ao produtor, sobretudo pelo seu baixo custo de manutenção e por ser menos susceptível ao prejuízo em caso de crise no setor. Outra constatação refere-se a escassez da matéria-prima no mercado nacional, fator o qual somado à baixa dependência do segmento agrícola de insumos e maquinários, proporciona ao setor agroindustrial da borracha algumas peculiaridades. Entre essas se destaca a menor subordinação do segmento agrícola a capital industrial e, a menor diferenciação entre pequenos e grandes produtores no que se refere à produtividade e à qualidade da matéria-prima.

Les livres VI à VIII du traité des Simples de Galien. Tradition du texte et traduction annotée

La thèse se propose d’offrir la première traduction française des livres VI à VIII du traité des Simples de Galien portant sur la flore à intérêt pharmacologique. Afin de comprendre l’esprit et le but de l’œuvre, nous avons situé le médecin dans son contexte historique et culturel, le IIe siècle de notre ère, et nous avons fourni les données fondamentales de sa biographie et de sa production littéraire et, plus particulièrement, des textes pharmacologiques. Nous avons également étudié le rôle des plantes médicinales dans la médecine d’époque romaine, ainsi que les sources de l’œuvre, en particulier Dioscoride. Malgré le succès du traité au cours des siècles qui ont suivi, il n’a pas fait l’objet d’études approfondies et l’édition la plus récente demeure celle de K. G. Kühn du XIXe siècle. Une édition critique s’impose et c’est dans cette perspective que nous avons entrepris de dresser la liste définitive des manuscrits transmettant le texte galénique. Nous espérons que ces recherches permettront de comprendre un peu mieux l’importance des simples dans la pharmacologie de Galien et qu’elles seront un point de départ pour d’autres travaux sur le traité des Simples.

Aspectos técnicos da monitorização da pressão intracraniana pelo método subaracnóideo no traumatismo craniencefálico grave

Two hundred and six patients with severe head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale of 8 points or less after nonsurgical resuscitation on admission), managed at Intensive Care Unit-Hospital das Clínicas - Universidade Estadual de Campinas were prospectively analysed. All patients were assessed by CT scan and 72 required neurosurgical intervention. All patients were continuously monitored to evaluate intracranial pressure (ICP) levels by a subarachnoid device (11 with subarachnoid metallic bolts and 195 with subarachnoid polyvinyl catheters). The ICP levels were continuously observed in the bedside pressure monitor display and their end-hour values were recorded in a standard chart. The patients were managed according to a standard protocol guided by the ICP levels. There were no intracranial haemorrhagic complications or hematomas due the monitoring method. Sixty six patients were punctured by lateral C1-C2 technique to assess infectious complications and 2 had positive cerebrospinal fluid samples for Acinetobacter sp. The final results measured at hospital discharge showed 75 deaths (36,40%) and 131 (63,60%) survivors. ICP levels had significantly influenced the final results (p<0,001). The subarachnoid method to continuously assess the ICP levels was considered aplicable, safe, simple, low cost and useful to advise the management of the patients. The ICP record methodology was practical and useful. Despite the current technical advances the subarachnoid method was considered viable to assess the ICP levels in severe head injury.

Características físicas e mecânicas de misturas de solo, cimento e cinzas de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar

This work was done with the objective of studying some physical and mechanical characteristics of the sugarcane bagasse ash added to a soil-cement mixture, in order to obtain an alternative construction material. The sugarcane bagasse ash pre-treatment included both sieving and grinding, before mixing with soil and cement. Different proportions of cement-ash were tested by determining its standard consistence and its compressive resistance at 7 and 28 days age. The various treatments were subsequently applied to the specimens molded with different soil-cement-ash mixtures which in turns were submitted to compaction, unconfined compression and water absorption laboratory tests. The results showed that it is possible to replace up to 20% of Portland cement by sugarcane bagasse ash without any damage to the mixture's compressive strength.

Desempenho físico-mecânico de minipainéis de terra crua tratada com aditivos químicos

The aim of this research was to study the effect of chemical additives (lime and Portland cement) associated with sodium silicate on soil in order to obtain compressed soil bricks. Mini panels were constructed with such bricks being their physical and mechanical characteristics determined in laboratory conditions and their behavior evaluated through the association of destructive and non-destructive methods. For this purpose a sandy soil and a finely divided one were added to Portland cement and lime in the dosage of 6% and 10% taken in dry weight basis in relation to the dry soil. The sodium silicate dosage of 4% was also taken in dry weight basis in relation to the dry soil-cement or to the dry soil-lime. The compressed soil bricks were cured in a humidity chamber for 7; 28; 56 and 91 days. The bricks were laid on the fourteenth day to form prismatic mini panels each one with four layers of bricks. After 28; 56 and 91 days the mini panels were submitted to both; ultrasonic and compressive tests to determine its elastic properties (dynamic modulus) and the compressive resistance. The best results in terms of compressive strength, water absorption capacity or dynamic elastic modulus, were reached by the sandy soil added to 10% of Portland cement or lime associated with sodium silicate.

Características físicas e mecânicas de misturas de solo, cimento e casca de arroz

The main objective of this work is the study of the effect of rice husk addition on the physical and mechanical properties of soil-cement, in order to obtain an alternative construction material. The rice husk preparation consisted of grinding, sieving, and the pre-treatment with lime solution. The physical characteristics of the soil and of the rice husk were determined. Different amounts of soil, cement and rice husk were tested by compaction and unconfined compression. The specimens molded according to the treatments applied to the mixtures were subsequently submitted to compression testing and to tensile splitting cylinder testing at 7 and 28 days of age and to water absorption testing. After determining its physical and mechanical characteristics, the best results were obtained for the soil + 12% (cement + rice husk) mixture. The results showed a promising use as an alternative construction material.

Durabilidade de compósito biomassa vegetal-cimento modificado por polímero

The durability of the cellulose-cement composites is a decisive factor to introduce such material in the market. Polymers have been used in concrete and mortar production to increase its durability. The goal of this work was the physical and mechanical characterization of cellulose-cement composites modified by a polymer and the subsequent durability evaluation. The work also evaluated the dispersion of acrylic polymer in composites made of Pinus caribaea residues. The physical properties observed were water absorption by immersion and bulk density. Rupture modulus and toughness were determined by flexural test. The specimens were obtained from pads, produced by pressing and wet curing. Samples were subjected to accelerated aging tests by repeated wetting and drying cycles and hot-water bath and natural aging. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) allowed verifying the fiber and composite characteristics along the time. For the composite range analyzed, it was observed the polymer improved the mechanical properties of composites besides a significant decreasing in water absorption. The use of polymer improved the performance of vegetable fiber-cement composites when compared to the conventional mortar, due to water absorption decreasing.

Efeito da adição de cinza da casca de arroz em misturas cimento-casca de arroz

The rice husk and its ash are abundant and renewable and can be used to obtain alternative building materials. An increase in the consumption of such waste could help minimize the environmental problems from their improper disposal. This study aimed to evaluate the use of ashes as a cargo mineral (filler). However, the rice husk chemically interferes in the conduct of the based cement mixtures. Thus, different mixes cement-rice husk with and without the addition of ash were evaluated in order to highlight the influence of its components (husk; ash), which could otherwise be excluded or be underestimated. Cylindrical samples (test of simple compression and traction by diametrical compression) and samples extracted from manufactured pressed board (test of bending and parallel compression to the surface), were used to evaluate the behavior of different mixtures of components (rice hush; RHA - rice husk ahs). The results of the mechanical tests showed, in general, there is not a statistical difference between the mixtures, which are associated with the chemical suppressive effect of the rice husk ash. The mixture of rice husk of 10 mm, with an addition of 35% of the rice husk ash, is notable for allowing the highest consumption of rice husk and rice husk ash, to reduce 25% the consumption of cement and to allow the storage (without emissions to the atmosphere), around 1.9 ton of CO2 per ton of cement consumed, thus contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions, which can stimulate rural constructions under an ecological point of view.

Caracterização física e mecânica de argamassas à base de cimento Portland e cinza de casca de arroz residual

Rice husk, employed as an energy source at milling industries in Brazil generates, after burning, a dark ash. This residue is not yet conveniently disposed, being currently dumped on large areas, causing environmental problems. This research intended to evaluate the applications of residual rice husk ashes (RHA) as a partial replacement of cement for mortar production. Rice husk ash was chemically characterized through X-ray fluorescence, determination of carbon content, X-ray diffraction, and laser granulometric analysis. Mortar specimens were submitted to two different exposure conditions: internal and external environments at a maximum period of five months. Physical-mechanical testing were compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV). Although presenting good mechanical performance, the mortar based on ash (RHA) did not present pozolanicity but it can be employed in cement matrices as inert material (filler).

Modelos de regressão lineares para estimativa de produtividade da soja no oeste do Paraná, utilizando dados espectrais

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the linear regression between spectral response and soybean yield in regional scale. In this study were monitored 36 municipalities from the west region of the states of Parana using five images of Landsat 5/TM during 2004/05 season. The spectral response was converted in physical values, apparent and surface reflectances, by radiometric transformation and atmospheric corrections and both used to calculate NDVI and GVI vegetation indices. Those ones were compared by multiple and simple regression with government official yield values (IBGE). Diagnostic processing method to identify influents values or collinearity was applied to the data too. The results showed that the mean surface reflectance value from all images was more correlated with yield than individual dates. Further, the multiple regressions using all dates and both vegetation indices gave better results than simple regression.
