Iron supply for erythropoiesis in the rabbit

Marrow radioiron uptake and marrow blood flow were measured in order to evaluate iron supply for erythropoiesis. Normal, phenylhydrazine-treated and bled animals were studied. The plasma iron turnover of seven normal rabbits was 1.49 +/- 0.22 mg/dl whole blood per d, of 11 rabbits treated 4 d before with phenylhydrazine was 5.16 +/- 1.81, and of four bled animals the plasma iron turnover was 3.75 +/- 1.61. The cardiac output and the percentage of blood flow to the marrow was increased in phenylhydrazine-treated and bled animals. Marrow iron flow in phenylhydrazine-treated animals was 38.3 +/- 32.6 micrograms/min per kg as compared with control values of 7.0 +/- 1.3 (P less than 0.01). This was due to an increase in marrow flow, an increase in plasma iron, and an increase in plasmatocrit. In bled animals, in spite of an increased marrow blood flow, marrow iron flow of 7.3 +/- 2.2 was similar to that of control animals due to a lower plasma iron concentration. The calculated marrow iron extraction of 3.7 +/- 2.4% in phenylhydrazine-treated animals was not different from that of control animals of 4.3 +/- 1.1, whereas extraction was increased in bled animals to 7.9 +/- 1.3 (P less than 0.01). In additional studies of transfused animals, acutely induced anemia was associated with an increased cardiac output, but also with a relative decrease in marrow flow, which left marrow iron supply unaffected. It would appear from these studies that an important mechanism for meeting the increased iron requirement of the hyperplastic erythroid marrow is an increase in marrow blood flow.

Short-term, mixed-diet overfeeding in man: no evidence for "luxuskonsumption".

After 13 days of weight maintenance diet (13,720 +/- 620 kJ/day, 40% fat, 15% protein, and 45% carbohydrate), five young men (71.3 +/- 7.1 kg, 181 +/- 8 cm; means +/- SD) were overfed for 9 days at 1.6 times their maintenance requirements (i.e., +8,010 kJ/day). Twenty-four-hour energy expenditure (24-h EE) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) were measured on three occasions, once after 10 days on the weight-maintenance diet and after 2 and 9 days of overfeeding. Physical activity was monitored throughout the study, body composition was measured by underwater weighing, and nitrogen balance was assessed for 3 days during the two experimental periods. Overfeeding caused an increase in body weight averaging 3.2 kg of which 56% was fat as measured by underwater weighing. After 9 days of overfeeding, BMR increased by 622 kJ/day, which could explain one-third of the increase in 24-h EE (2,038 kJ/day); the remainder was due to the thermic effect of food (which increased in proportion with excess energy intake) and the increased cost of physical activity, related to body weight gain. This study shows that approximately one-quarter of the excess energy intake was dissipated through an increase in EE, with 75% being stored in the body. Under our experimental conditions of mixed overfeeding in which body composition measurements were combined with those of energy balance, it was possible to account for all of the energy ingested in excess of maintenance requirements.

Ensemble methods for environmental data modelling with support vector regression

This paper investigates the use of ensemble of predictors in order to improve the performance of spatial prediction methods. Support vector regression (SVR), a popular method from the field of statistical machine learning, is used. Several instances of SVR are combined using different data sampling schemes (bagging and boosting). Bagging shows good performance, and proves to be more computationally efficient than training a single SVR model while reducing error. Boosting, however, does not improve results on this specific problem.

Ajuste de modelo para quantificar o efeito de plantas daninhas e época de semeadura no rendimento de soja

O objetivo deste trabalho foi ajustar e validar um modelo matemático baseado em densidades de picão-preto (Bidens spp.) e de guanxuma (Sida rhombifolia L.), integrando a época de semeadura da soja após a dessecação da cobertura vegetal, para quantificar perdas de rendimento de grãos. Foram conduzidos quatro experimentos, em Passo Fundo e Eldorado do Sul. Os tratamentos constaram de densidades de picão-preto ou de guanxuma e de épocas de semeadura da soja em relação à data de dessecação da cobertura vegetal. Nos experimentos com picão-preto, a semeadura da soja foi realizada 3, 7 e 11 dias após dessecação (DAD) da cobertura vegetal, nos dois locais. Com infestação de guanxuma, a semeadura da soja foi realizada 3, 7 e 11 DAD em Passo Fundo, e 20, 24 e 28 DAD em Eldorado do Sul. Os dados foram analisados pelo modelo da hipérbole retangular, o qual incorpora a densidade da planta daninha e a época de sua emergência em relação à cultura. O atraso na semeadura da soja em relação à dessecação da cobertura vegetal aumenta os níveis de perdas de rendimento da cultura em decorrência da interferência de guanxuma e, principalmente, de picão-preto. O modelo pode ser usado para previsão das perdas de rendimento de grãos de soja causadas pelas duas espécies de plantas daninhas.
