Correlações entre as concentrações de nutrientes, alumínio e sódio nas folhas de "coast cross nº 1" e a análise física e química de um latossol vermelho amarelo: I. Concentrações de nutrientes nas folhas em função das frações granulométricas do solo

Foi realizado um levantamento em 41 áreas de um solo classificado como Latossol Vermelho Amarelo, com amostragens de solo e de folhas da forrageira "Coast Cross nº 1" objetivando o estudo de correlações entre as concentrações de nutrientes, alumínio e sódio nas folhas e as análises físicas do solo. Os autores observaram que a concentração de potássio nas folhas correlaciona-se negativamente com a fração silte do solo. A concentração de cobre nas folhas correlaciona-se negativamente com a fração areia fina e positivamente com argila. Ferro, manganês, zinco, sódio, boro e alumínio não apresentam correlações entre as suas concentrações foliares e os teores de argila no solo.

Correlações entre as concentrações de nutrientes, alumínio e sódio nas folhas de "Coast Cross nº 1" e a análise física e química de um Latossolo vermelho amarelo II: Concentração de nitrogênio e fósforo

Foi realizado um levantamento em 41 pontos de um Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo, com amostragem de solo e folhas da forrageira "Coast Cross Nº 1", objetivando o estudo de correlações entre as concentrações de nutrientes, alumínio e sódio nas folhas e as análises químicas do solo. As folhas foram secas e analisadas para N, P. As amostras de solo foram secas e analisadas pelos seguintes métodos: índices pH (água e CaCl2 0,01 M), matéria orgânica (digestão úmida) , P, K, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn e Na pelo extrator de Mehlich. P através de resina iônica. Ca, Mg e Al pelo KC1 1 N. As frações granulométricas foram dispersas por NaOH 0,1 Ne separadas pelo método da pipeta. Foram observadas correlações entre as concentrações de elementos nas folhas e as determinações no solo. Nitrogênio nas folhas correlacionou-se negativamente com fósforo do solo e positivamente com manganês e enxofre. Fósforo nas folhas correlacionou-se negativamente com cálcio do solo.

Indicators and evaluation tools for the assessment of urban sustainability

This paper attempts to provide an explanation of why reductionistic approaches are not adequate to tackle the urban sustainability issue in a consistent way. Concepts such as urban environmental carrying capacity and ecological footprint are discussed. Multicriteria evaluation is proposed as a general multidimensional framework for the assessment of urban sustainability. This paper deals with the following main topics: 1) definition of the concept of urban sustainability 2) discussion of relevant sustainability indicators 3) multicriteria evaluation as a framework for the assessment of urban sustainability 4) an illustrative example.

Cross-infection experiments with "isospora" of cats and dogs

Feces of 34 dogs out of 251 (13.5%) from guanabara were positive for Isospora. From these 19 (7.5%) were i. rivolta, 13 (5.2%) were I. canis and 2 (0,7) were i. bigemina. "Free-sporocysts" of I. rivolta were eliminated by 9 dogs (3.5%). A "Caryospora-like" oocyst was seen once. Cross-infection experiments performed with Isospora from dogs and cats failed to produce infection while inoculations of these Isospora in their natural hosts succeeded. The results suggest that the species of Isospora occurring in cats are different from those of dogs.

Cross-suppression of specific immune responses after oral tolerance

Adult normal inbred mice rendered tolerant to OVA by previous oral exposure do not respond to intraperitonela immunization with DNP-OVA in adjuvant. These tolerant mice also form less DNP-specific antibodies to DNP-KLH when immunized with mixtures of DNP-KLH and DNP-OVA, or less HGG-specific antibodies when immunized with cross-linked conjugates of OVA and HGG. These same procedures increased DNP-specific or HGG-specific responses in non-tolerant control mice. The cross-supperssion was ineffective, however, to inhibit already ongoing antibody responses.

From e-voting to smart-voting : e-Tools in and for elections and direct democracy in Switzerland

To what extent do and could e-tools contribute to a democracy like Switzerland? This paper puts forward experiences and visions concerning the application of e-tools for the most traditional democratic processes- elections and, of special importance in Switzerland, direct-democratic votes.Having the particular voting behaviour of the Swiss electorate in mind (low voter turnout - especially among the youngest age group, low political knowledge, etc.) we believe that e-tools which provide information in the forefront of elections or direct-democratic votes offer an enormous service to the voter. As soon as e-voting will be possible in Switzerland (as planned by the government), those e-tools for gathering information online will become indispensable and will gain power enormously. Therefore political scientists should not only focus on potential effects of e-voting itself but rather on the combination of (connected)e-tools of the pre-voting and the voting sphere. In the case of Switzerland, we argue in this paper, the offer of VAAs such as smartvote for elections and direct-democratic votes can provide the voter with more balanced and qualitatively higher information and thereby make a valuable contribution to the Swiss democracy.
