Natural fibers have been highlighted as a renewable material that can replace materials from oil and its derivatives. In this context, Brazil becomes the perfect setting because of the diversity of fibers found in its territory, such as sugarcane, sisal, rice, cotton, coconut, pineapple, among others. The paineiras (Chorisia speciosa St. Hil) are typically Brazilian trees, which produce paina as fruit. These fruits are still little studied as a source of lignocellulose by research groups. This project aimed obtaining and characterization of cellulose nanofibers from the fibers from the paina fibers. Obtaining nanocellulose is practically made through simplified chemical processes. First, was performed out pre-treatments to removal of waxes, lignin and hemicellulose. The first stage of pre-treatment was carried out by alkaline aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 5wt%, where the fibers were under constant agitation for 1h at 70°C. Through alkali treatment it was possible to remove most of the lignin, hemicellulose, waxes and extractives. After the alkaline treatment was done bleaching with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to 4wt% and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to 24wt% 1:1 during 2h with constant stirring to 50 °C. Through bleaching was possibe to remove residual lignin, and got cellulose with 72% of crystallinity. Nanocellulose of paina fibers was extracted using different conditions of acid hydrolysis with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to 50wt%. After acid hydrolysis, the suspensions were centrifuged during 30 min and dialyzed in water to remove excess acid until neutral pH (6-7). Then the suspensions were passed by ultrasonification in an ultrasound 20 kHz during 1h in an ice bath. Untreated, alkalinized and bleached fibers as well as cellulose nanoparticles were characterized by the techniques of thermogravimetry ... (Complete abastract click electronic access below)

Objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar diferentes métodos para a superação da dormência das sementes e a eficiência de herbicidas no controle químico de plantas de Momordicacharantia L. no estádio reprodutivo. O primeiro experimento constituiu-seem esquema fatorial 2 x 8 (duas épocas de coleta das sementes (2006 e 2007) e oito métodos de quebra de dormência: escarificação mecânica; imersão em ácido sulfúrico concentrado e a 50%; imersão em nitrato de potássio a 2%por três e seis horas; calor seco a 60°C; água quente a 60°C e uma testemunha sem tratamento). No segundo ensaio avaliou-se o controle da Momordicacharantia L. por meio de seis herbicidas distintos: Imazapic, Metsulfuron-methyl, Metribuzin, 2,4-D, Amicarbazone, Paraquat e uma testemunha sem aplicação de herbicidas. Em ambos os ensaios, o delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizados, com quatro repetições. Após a aplicação dos tratamentos,pode-se concluir que a imersão das sementes em ácido sulfúrico concentrado por 3 minutos proporcionou uma maior porcentagem e velocidade de germinação e que o herbicida Metribuzin alcançou, embora tardiamente, um controle total das plantas de melão de São-Caetano.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of different chewing gum brands on the salivary pH of children with primary dentition. Method: Forty children were selected and assigned to four groups: control (no chewing gum); sugarless chewing gum; chewing gum with casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate; and chewing gum with xylitol. The first saliva collection was made after supervised tooth brushing for stabilization of the oral pH. Next, all children were instructed to drink slowly 100 mL of a cola-based soft drink (Coca-Cola®) and a new saliva collection was made 10 min later. Then, each group chewed on the chewing gum for 5 min and discarded it after this time. Saliva was collected again at 5, 10 and 15 min intervals after start using the chewing gum. Measurement of salivary pH was made with colorimetric test papers and a digital pH-meter. Data were analyzed statistically by analysis of variance and Tukey’s test at a 5% significance level. Results: The use of chewing gums accelerated the increase of salivary pH to considerably alkaline levels after consumption of an acidic beverage, especially within the first minutes. The highest levels were obtained in the groups of children that used chewing gums containing xylitol and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate. Conclusion: Children that used the chewing gums after ingestion of an acidic soft drink presented an increase in salivary pH, with the best results in the groups that used chewing gums containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and xylitol.

Estudo experimental laboratorial que comparou a ação de cinco métodos de desinfecção na remoção de biofilme em endoscópios gastrintestinais. Foram utilizados como corpos de prova tubos novos transparentes de politetrafluoretileno (Teflon®) simulando os canais flexíveis dos endoscópios. Após limpeza prévia os tubos foram contaminados intencionalmente com Pseudomonas aeruginosa para formação de biofilme e submetidos à desinfecção. Como resultado, nenhum deles removeu 100% dos biofilmes. O que mais removeu fisicamente o biofilme foi o glutaraldeído 2% em processadora automática, provavelmente justificado pela dupla limpeza, já que o equipamento conta com essa fase no início do seu ciclo. O método que se mostrou menos eficiente para remoção de biofilme e outros resíduos foi água eletrolítica ácida. Esses resultados sugerem que a limpeza é mais impactante na remoção de biofilmes do que a desinfecção consecutiva, uma vez que o glutaraldeído, desinfetante da máquina que se mostrou mais eficiente, é um fixador de resíduos orgânicos.

Mechanical chiseling has been used to alleviate the effects of compaction in soils under no-tillage (NT). However, its effect on the soil physical properties does not seem to have a defined duration period. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the behavior of the bulk density (BD) and degree of compaction (DC) at different soil depths, after chiseling in no-tillage, for one year. The experiment was performed in Ponta Grossa, Paraná State, Brazil, using an Oxisol (Rhodic Hapludox). Bulk density and DC were previously measured in an area under NT for 16 years, then immediately after chiseling (CHI) in May 2009, six months after chiseling (CHI6M) in October 2009 and one year after chiseling (CHI12M) in May 2010. In the layers 0.0-0.10, 0.10-0.20 and 0.20-0.30 m, there was a significant BD reduction CHI and a marked increase CHI6M. The BD values measured CHI12M were similar to those before tillage. Chiseling reduced the DC in the layers 0.0-0.10 m and 0.10-0.20 m, but returned to the initial values one year later. During the evaluation periods CHI, CHI6M and CHI12M, the BD increased in the layer 0.30-0.40 m, compared with NT. The highest DC values were observed six months after chiseling; nevertheless the structural recovery of the soil was considerable, possibly due to the high degree of soil resilience and the influence of the wetting and drying cycles detected in the study period. The chiseling effects, evaluated by BD and DC, lasted less than one year, i.e., the beneficial short-term effects of chiseling on the reduction of the surface BD increased the risk of compaction in deeper soil layers.

A escarificação e o uso de plantas de cobertura de inverno têm sido adotados para promover a melhoria dos atributos físicos do solo relacionados à aeração. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o efeito das plantas de cobertura de inverno e escarificação nas propriedades físicas de um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico, textura argilosa, após 16 anos em sistema plantio direto. Os tratamentos foram realizados em maio de 2009 e consistiram de: plantio direto (PD), plantio direto com escarificação mecânica a 0,25 m (PD-E) e plantio direto com descompactação biológica por meio da cultura do nabo forrageiro (PD-B). O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições, totalizando 12 unidades experimentais. Dezoito meses após a aplicação dos tratamentos, foram coletadas amostras indeformadas de solo em cada unidade experimental, em cinco camadas: 0,0-0,1; 0,1-0,2; 0,2-0,3; 0,3-0,4; e 0,4-0,5 m. Foram avaliados os atributos físicos do solo: porosidade, densidade do solo (Ds), permeabilidade ao ar (Ka) e índices de continuidade de poros. A Ka foi medida por meio de um permeâmetro de carga constante de ar em nove potenciais mátricos (ψm): -0,5; -1; -2; -3; -5; -7; -10; -50; e -100 kPa. Os resultados indicam que os atributos físicos do solo avaliados não foram alterados pelo uso de plantas de cobertura e escarificação. Por outro lado, houve diferenças entre camadas de solo, principalmente entre 0,0-0,1 e 0,1-0,2 m. Na camada de 0,1-0,2 m, a Ds foi maior e a porosidade total e Ka (ψm = -5 kPa) foram menores do que na camada de 0,0-0,1 m. No PD-E, verificou-se que a macroporosidade foi maior na camada de 0,0-0,1 m em comparação com os outros tratamentos. Os resultados sugerem que o solo estudado submetido aos tratamentos de descompactação, após 18 meses, retornou a valores semelhantes aos da testemunha.

Este trabalho descreve a preparação e caracterização do híbrido celulose/fosfato de nióbio hidratado (Cel/NbOPO4.nH2O) utilizando como material de partida a celulose branqueada de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar e o nióbio metálico. O híbrido foi preparado por dois métodos: denominados métodos I e II. O método I consistiu na dissolução do nióbio metálico em solução de ácido fluorídrico/nítrico (100:10), com tempo de contato de 16 horas entre a celulose branqueada do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar e a solução ácida. Adicionou-se a essa solução ácido fosfórico para precipitação do material. O método II foi semelhante, com proporções diferentes da solução ácida fluorídrico/nítrico (160/100), sem tempo de contato da celulose com a solução ácida. Os métodos I e II utilizaram as seguintes proporções de cel/ Nb2O5.nH2O: (10:10);(10:6) e (10:2). Os materiais preparados pelos métodos I e II foram caracterizados por difração de raios X (DRX), termogravimetria (TG/DTG) e microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Observou-se aumento do índice do grau de cristalinidade e mudanças na morfologia dos materiais preparados.
