O estudo foi conduzido com os objetivos de analisar o desempenho produtivo e algumas medidas de eficiência reprodutiva de 1877 vacas provenientes de quatro grupos genéticos Holandês ¾ Zebu e estimar os parâmetros genéticos pertinentes. Os animais pertenciam a três rebanhos comerciais que foram monitorados pelo Sistema Computacional de Informação DAISY (The Dairy Information System), durante período de 1989 a 1998. Para consistência dos dados, formação dos arquivos e análises preliminares foram usados os procedimentos disponíveis no SAS (Statistical Analysis System), enquanto os componentes de (co)variância foram estimados pelo método de máxima verossimilhança restrita livre de derivada (MTDFREML), sob um modelo animal. Os efeitos de grupo genético e ano do parto foram significativos sobre a idade da vaca ao primeiro parto (IPC), intervalo parto - primeiro serviço (PP1S), duração da lactação(DL), produção total de leite (PT) e produção de leite por dia de intervalo de parto (PLIEP). As estimativas de herdabilidade (h²) para as características reprodutivas ficaram próximas de zero, evidenciando grande dependência do manejo oferecido aos rebanhos, enquanto o valor de 0,28 para a h² da PT mostrou variância genética aditiva média. A correlação genética entre PT e DL de 0,81 pode ser considerada de alta magnitude.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar indicadores da eficiência produtiva de vacas Nelore selecionadas para peso pós-desmama, enfocados nas relações peso bezerro e peso da vaca, nos rebanhos controle (NeC), não-selecionados para peso pós-desmama, seleção (NeS) e tradicional (NeT). As análises envolveram 3929 e 3906 pesos dos bezerros aos 120 (P120) e 210 (P210) dias de idade, respectivamente. Os pesos das vacas àquelas idades também foram considerados, obtendo-se 3824 (PV120) e 3777 (PV210) registros, respectivamente, para 120 e 210 dias. A análise incluiu 183, 375 e 554 vacas dos rebanhos NeC, NeS e NeT, respectivamente. Para as análises utilizou-se o procedimento GLM/SAS, em modelos que incluíram os efeitos fixos de rebanho, ano e mês de nascimento, sexo do bezerro, idade da vaca ao parto e as interações rebanho x ano de nascimento e ano x mês de nascimento. Todos os efeitos foram significativos. Os resultados mostraram respostas correlacionadas positivas na seleção para peso pós-desmama nos pesos dos bezerros e, em menor magnitude, no peso das vacas. As relações peso bezerro e peso da vaca apresentaram valores médios ajustados de 249,0±2,1; 253,7±1,6; e 255,8±1,2 g/kg para R120 e 362,9±2,8; 368,5±2,1; e 374,6±1,7 para NeC, NeS e NeT em R210, respectivamente, indicando que, nas duas idades, os rebanhos NeS e NeT produziram mais quilogramas de bezerro por quilogramas de vaca, quando comparados ao NeC.

Foram avaliados os desempenhos produtivo e reprodutivo de um rebanho bubalino, localizado no município de Paracuru, litoral oeste do Estado do Ceará. Os animais foram mantidos em sistema intensivo e submetidos a duas ordenhas diárias. Foram analisadas informações de 87 fêmeas da raça Murrah, entre os anos de 1984 e 1998. As análises estatísticas foram efetuadas por meio do procedimento GLM (SAS, 1990), usando um modelo linear misto. As médias observadas para produção total de leite, duração da lactação, produção de leite no pico de lactação, idade ao primeiro parto e intervalo de partos foram: 2130,80+535,60kg, 301,41+49,30dias, 9,78+1,95kg, 1132,69+166,99dias e 430,79+100,44dias, respectivamente. Alta porcentagem de parições das ocorreu no período chuvoso (79,3%) e apenas 20,7%, no período seco. A produção total de leite e a produção no pico de lactação foram influenciadas pelos efeitos do ano e ordem de parto. A duração da lactação foi influenciada pelos efeitos do ano e mês de parto. A idade ao primeiro parto foi influenciada pelo efeito do ano de nascimento da búfala. O intervalo de partos foi influenciado pelo mês do parto anterior, além dos efeitos do mês dentro do ano de parto e mês de nascimento da búfala.

Em decorrência da elevada ocorrência (18%) de bezerros Guzerá que não mamaram por conta própria em suas mães (falha na primeira mamada), foram avaliados os fatores associados a estas falhas, sua influência na mortalidade e parâmetros genéticos para falha na primeira mamada (FPM). Dos 1.527 bezerros Guzerá nascidos de 1992 a 2004, 279 apresentaram FPM. Os efeitos fixos foram estudados utilizando o procedimento GENMOD-SAS com função de ligação probit. Parâmetros genéticos para FPM foram estimados por máxima verossimilhança restrita aproximada, ajustando modelo animal que incluiu efeitos genéticos diretos e maternos e de ambiente permanente da vaca. Verificou-se que os principais fatores predisponentes à FPM foram vacas com problema de úbere e tetos e bezerros pesando menos de 25 kg ao nascimento. FPM influenciou a mortalidade, com maior chance de óbitos para bezerros que falharam em comparação aos que mamaram naturalmente. A estimativa de herdabilidade do efeito materno foi baixa (0,08) e a referente ao efeito direto, nula. A estimativa de repetibilidade também foi baixa (0,17). Devido ao impacto de FPM na mortalidade de bezerros, sugere-se que a avaliação da conformação do aparelho mamário seja utilizada como um indicador para minimizar o problema. Entretanto, a baixa magnitude da estimativa de herdabilidade indica que progresso genético mediante seleção contra FPM poderia ser obtido somente a longo prazo.

The objective of this study was to evaluate performance and daytime ingestive behavior of 84 Nellore young bulls in the post-weaning phase kept on Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu pastures during the dry season. Treatments were protein mineral supplementation (1 g/kg body weight) and protein+energy mineral supplementation (3 g/kg body weight). The experimental area comprised 12 paddocks in a total area of 27.36 ha, divided in two blocks of six paddocks each, having three replications per treatment in each block, with 42 animals/treatment. The data were subjected to variance analysis with repeated measures over time via procedure PROCMIXED of SAS (Statistical Analysis System, version 9.0) and means were compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability. The initial average weight of animals was 204.8 kg; final weights were 260.9 and 276.9 kg for animals that received protein and protein+energy supplement, respectively. The forage availability, sward height and stocking rate values did not differ with supplementation, but they showed difference between the experimental periods. The average time spent grazing during daylight of animals fed protein+energy supplement was shorter as compared with those which consumed protein supplement. Animals kept under the same pasture conditions during the dry season show better performance when they receive protein+energy supplement than protein supplement.

Previous works have studied the characteristics and peculiarities of P2P networks, especially security information aspects. Most works, in some way, deal with the sharing of resources and, in particular, the storage of files. This work complements previous studies and adds new definitions relating to this kind of systems. A system for safe storage of files (SAS-P2P) was specified and built, based on P2P technology, using the JXTA platform. This system uses standard X.509 and PKCS # 12 digital certificates, issued and managed by a public key infrastructure, which was also specified and developed based on P2P technology (PKIX-P2P). The information is stored in a special file with XML format which is especially prepared, facilitating handling and interoperability among applications. The intention of developing the SAS-P2P system was to offer a complementary service for Giga Natal network users, through which the participants in this network can collaboratively build a shared storage area, with important security features such as availability, confidentiality, authenticity and fault tolerance. Besides the specification, development of prototypes and testing of the SAS-P2P system, tests of the PKIX-P2P Manager module were also performed, in order to determine its fault tolerance and the effective calculation of the reputation of the certifying authorities participating in the system

O presente trabalho buscou conhecer a variação das características físicas e químicas do abacaxi comercializado no Entreposto Terminal de São Paulo (ETSP), da Companhia de Entrepostos e Armazéns Gerais de São Paulo (CEAGESP), no período de setembro de 2005 a março de 2006. As avaliações foram realizadas na CEAGESP e nos laboratórios do Departamento de Agroindústria, Alimentos e Nutrição da Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz - ESALQ/USP. Foram realizadas coletas em intervalos de duas semanas, em três atacadistas, com as amostras recolhidas de forma aleatória, padronizadas em frutos tipo 10 (caixa contendo 10 frutos), compostas de dez frutos por atacadista/origem. As amostras foram coletadas nos lotes oferecidos para comercialização pelos atacadistas. Foram avaliadas as seguintes características físicas e químicas: peso do fruto inteiro, peso da coroa, avaliação visual da coloração da casca, densidade, coloração da polpa, pH, teor de sólidos solúveis (SS), acidez titulável (AT), além da relação SS/AT. Para a análise estatística, foi utilizado o Programa SAS. Pelos resultados, observou-se que, dentre as regiões produtoras de abacaxi, destacaram-se, com relação à regularidade de oferta para os três atacadistas, os pólos de Canápolis ('Smooth Cayenne'), Sapé e Miracema do Tocantins ('Pérola'). As diferentes regiões produtoras de abacaxi 'Pérola' apresentaram uma grande variação em relação ao peso médio dos frutos comercializados, indicando diferenças na tecnologia de produção adotada. Dentre as regiões produtoras de abacaxi, houve variação estatística no teor de sólidos solúveis ao longo do período analisado nos pólos de Canápolis ('Smooth Cayenne') e Itaberaba, Sapé e Miracema do Tocantins ('Pérola'). Dentre os parâmetros químicos analisados, a determinação do teor de sólidos solúveis por amostragem com uso do refratômetro manual, associado à maturação aparente (cor da casca), pode representar um avanço significativo na indicação da qualidade dos frutos comercializados, o que permite concluir ser desnecessário o uso de etefon na fase de pré-colheita.

We studied the feasibility of using a system of Solar Water Heating (SAS) with low cost, for three configurations. In configurations I and II have the collector grid absorber composed of six PVC tubes placed in parallel on the tile cement. In configuration II, the PVC tubes were transparent cover made of plastic bottles. Configuration III uses a collector composed of 12 black HDPE pipes, supported on four cement tiles 2.44 m x 0.50 m, two by two overlapping and interspersed with a filling of glass wool, comprising an area exposed to the global radiation incident of 2.44 m2, with the top two tiles painted matte black. In this configuration, the HDPE pipes replace conventional PVC pipes painted black. The total cost of SAS for configuration III, the most economical, was around $ 150.00. For the configurations tested the system of operation was thermosyphon collector. The study showed that the proposed systems have good thermal efficiency, are easy to install and handle and have low cost compared to conventional.

The accelerated pressure of use and occupation of Rio Grande do Norte coastline in the last two decades presented the tourism as its main vector, having as a consequence a strong, articulated and growing real estate speculation of this area. In the Natal County there is a Zona Especial de Interesse Turistico II (Special Zone of Tourism Interest II) (ZET-II), consisted of urban beaches with approximately 8.5 km that is an important seashore of the city. The purpose of this research was identification, characterization and assessment of the process of use and occupation of dunes fields emphasizing the role of ZET-II, whereas the specific goals was the analysis of weather, geology and geomorphology, characterization of use and occupation of soil, and elaboration of an environmental diagnosis with identification and description of its mains consequences. The result of this work was the delineation of geologic-geomorphological map of the area with identification of principals units, determining its use and occupation, the measurement of the area already occupied by equipments, besides the description of the environmental impacts on dune fields: devastation, coastline erosion, ocean pollution by sewer and pluvial waters, contamination of groundwater, distribution inadequate of solid residues, landscape degradation, and occupation of seashore through the privatization of public areas. Concluding that the degrading changes occurred in this areas are resulting from the nature of use and urban seashore regulations, which have been diminishing the natural aspect, altering the landscape definitely, compromising the quality of hydro resources and altering its use, privatizing the areas between tides, complicating the population access and obstructing the scenery visualization of dunes and ocean. There is an urgent necessity of improvement of public politics in order to improve the strategies and organization of use and occupation of space urban-coastline

Provide data and information on watershed becomes important since the knowledge of their physical characteristics, land use, etcetera, allows for better planning and sustainable use of economically, socially and environmentally in this area. The investigation of the physical environment has been commonly given with the use of geoprocessing, which has proved a very efficient tool. Within this context, this research aims at analyzing the river basin Punaú (located in the cities of Touros, Rio do Fogo and Pureza, state of Rio Grande do Norte) in several aspects, using geoprocessing as a tool of work, to provide information about the entire watershed. Specifically, this study aimed to update pre-existing maps, such as geological, geomorphological and land use, generating map of environmental vulnerability, under the aspect of erosion susceptibility of the area, generating map of legal incompatibility, identifying areas that are already being employed in breach of environmental legislation; propose solutions to the occupation of the river basin Punaú, focused on environmental planning. The methodology was based on the use of geoprocessing tools for data analysis and to make maps of legal incompatibility and environmental vulnerability. For the first map was taken into account the environmental legislation regarding the protection of watersheds. For the vulnerability analysis, the generated map was the result of crossing the maps of geology, geomorphology, soils and land use, having been assigned weights to different attributes of thematic maps, generating a map of environmental vulnerability in relation to susceptibility to erosion. The analysis results indicate that agriculture is the most significant activity in the basin, in total occupied area, which confers a high degree of environmental vulnerability in most of the basin, and some agricultural areas eventually develop in a manner inconsistent with Brazilian environmental legislation. It is proposed to consider deploying a measure of revitalization of the watershed in more critical areas and conservation through mitigation measures on the causes of environmental degradation, such as protection of water sources, protection and restoration of riparian vegetation, protection of permanent preservation areas, containment of erosion processes in general, and others listed or not in specific laws, and even the establishment of a committee of basins in the area

This essay aims at investigating the writing proposals of Portuguese textbooks (LDP Livros Didáticos de Português) for Middle School (EF Ensino Fundamental), from 6th to 9th grade, from the 70s to 2009. It aims to check, though the discourse reported in the Portuguese Textbook, the control directed to the practice of the teacher and the student to do in the teaching situations. Theoretically, we search for contributions that come from the Discourse Analysis of French filiation, so we can analyze the ideological constructions present in the discourse of the ―LDP‖ more specific lly the control directed to the te cher nd student the users of the book, in writing activities. It started from a corpus of 63 textbooks whereof the following steps were performed: a) mapping of the writing proposals contemplated in the ―LDP‖ of high school; b cutting in the selection of propos l ccording to the rese rch go ls intended (writing proposals of narrative texts). After mapping the writing proposals presented in the ―LDP‖ bout the criteri mentioned bove we re d the writing propos ls to ch rt the quantity of proposals of textual writing productions in each textbook (which usually follows a pattern : 12 chapters and, at the end, the writing proposal. Nevertheless, some books present 2 (two) or more writing proposals at the end of each chapter). We did a cutting in the corpus initi lly constituted 63 ―LDP‖ nd we selected 12 writing proposals of narrative texts presented in the ―LDPs‖ to present wh t we intend to n lyze. Then, we separated these proposals into two groups: 1) activities which present ―instruction guide‖ to be followed by the student; 2) writing activities that allow the student write with no need to follow a text pattern, i.e., which encourage authorship. By means of analyses, it was possible to demonstrate that, in the Basic School, generally, the writing practices concentrate, primarily, on copying activities, reproduction, rewriting and, in more advanced levels, in activities that which start from preset models, asking the students to produce text with similar themes, following the suggested structure. It is about ideals that are supposed to be followed and imitated by the students, depriving them to assume their authorship. In order to insert the student in the world of writing it s necess ry to go beyond the model of c nonic l texts pr ctice th t puts the students f r from the possibility to be ― uthors‖. In contr st to this tendency, we face, nowadays, proposals that prioritize the authorship, the creation of a style

We studied the effects of Amphotericin B (AmB) on Cryptococcus neoformans using different viability methods (CFUs enumeration, XTT assay and propidium iodide permeability). After 1 h of incubation, there were no viable colonies when the cells were exposed to AmB concentrations >= 1 mg/L. In the same conditions, the cells did not become permeable to propidium iodide, a phenomenon that was not observed until 3 h of incubation. When viability was measured in parallel using XTT assay, a result consistent with the CFUs was obtained, although we also observed a paradoxical effect in which at high AmB concentrations, a higher XTT reduction was measured than at intermediate AmB concentrations. This paradoxical effect was not observed after 3 h of incubation with AmB, and lack of XTT reduction was observed at AmB concentrations higher than 1 mg/L. When stained with dihydrofluorescein, AmB induced a strong intracellular oxidative burst. Consistent with oxidative damage, AmB induced protein carbonylation. Our results indicate that in C. neoformans, Amphotericin B causes intracellular damage mediated through the production of free radicals before damage on the cell membrane, measured by propidium iodide uptake.
