Toxicidade de inseticidas utilizados na cultura do tomateiro a Trichogramma pretiosum

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a toxicidade dos inseticidas acetamipride (0,05 g L-1 de i.a.), clorfenapir (0,12 g L-1 de i.a.), imidaclopride (1,16 g L-1 de i.a.), tiaclopride (0,48 g L-1 de i.a.) e tiametoxam (0,05 g L-1 de i.a.) a Trichogramma pretiosum em diferentes fases imaturas. Ovos de Anagasta kuehniella foram aderidos em cartelas de cartolina azul e expostos ao parasitismo de T. pretiosum por 48 horas. Os ovos supostamente parasitados, contendo os parasitóides no período de ovo-larva e nas fases de pré-pupa e pupa, foram imersos nas caldas químicas e em água (testemunha) por cinco segundos, e mantidos em câmara climatizada a 24±1ºC, UR de 70±10% e 12 horas de fotófase. Clorfenapir e imidaclopride reduziram em 76,0% e 64,4%, respectivamente, a emergência de indivíduos da geração F1 de T. pretiosum. A razão sexual dos indivíduos da geração F1 não foi afetada por nenhum dos compostos avaliados, variando de 0,7 a 0,8. Clorfenapir reduziu em aproximadamente 50% a taxa de parasitismo de T. pretiosum da geração F1. Acetamipride e tiametoxam foram inofensivos ao parasitóide e podem ser utilizados em associação com essa espécie no controle de pragas na cultura do tomateiro.

Politique cantonale vieillissement et santé : rapport du comité d'experts transmis à Monsieur le Conseiller d'Etat Pierre-Yves Maillard le 8 décembre 2011

Notre système de soins vaudois propose de nombreuses prestations de qualité aux personnes âgées. Le canton a été pionnier pour la mise en oeuvre de nombreuses initiatives : aide et soins à domicile, centres de traitements et de réadaptation, unités d'accueil temporaires, bureaux régionaux d'information et d'orientation. Autant de réalisations qui, preuve de leur intérêt, ont largement diffusé au-delà des frontières cantonales. Néanmoins, le vieillissement de la population vaudoise impose d'évaluer ce qui doit être entrepris pour adapter et consolider ces prestations afin de faire face le mieux possible aux formidables enjeux sanitaires liés à ce vieillissement. Ensuite, ces enjeux nécessitent aussi d'imaginer. Imaginer de nouvelles structures, de nouvelles missions, de nouvelles prestations et pratiques. Certaines mesures proposées visent le court terme et sont rapidement réalisables. D'autres nécessitent de modifier notre culture sanitaire, un défi qui demande du temps. Nous souhaitons, dans la politique proposée, initier ce processus dynamique. L'année 2012 marque symboliquement l'entrée en retraite des premiers baby-boomers et annonce la vague démographique qui culminera en 2030 déjà, lorsque un vaudois sur cinq aura plus de 65 ans. La politique "Vieillissement et Santé" proposée ici n'est pas figée. Si ce rapport a pour ambition d'être un outil de référence pour la communauté sanitaire, il ne représente qu'une étape dans les réflexions sur la santé et les soins aux aînés que le canton conduit depuis longtemps, et devra continuer à conduire. La politique qui y est décrite devra être périodiquement évaluée et adaptée. [Auteurs]

Retenção do fungicida triadimenol em latossolos em razão da calagem e da fosfatagem

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da calagem e da fosfatagem na retenção do triadimenol em um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo distrófico (LVAd) e em um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico (LVd) em microcolunas de solo. Calagem e fosfatagem, realizadas em conjunto, reduziram a retenção do produto nas amostras do LVAd (7,7% e 8,6%, respectivamente, para a dose de 2,67 e 10,68 kg ha-1 do princípio ativo). No LVd, a calagem e fosfatagem, quando realizadas isoladamente, causaram menor retenção do produto (calagem 7,2% e 3,9%, fosfatagem 10,1% e 6,8%, respectivamente, para as doses de 2,67 e 10,68 kg ha-1) em relação às amostras controle. Apesar da quantidade do produto na solução do solo ser inferior a 1% da dose aplicada, valores mais elevados do produto foram encontrados nas amostras de solo tratadas com calcário e fosfato, isoladamente ou não, no LVAd e, isoladamente, no LVd.

Lixiviação de aldicarbe em macrolisímetros de dois Latossolos

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a lixiviação do inseticida aldicarbe em macrolisímetros contendo material indeformado dos solos Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico (LVdf) e Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo distrófico (LVAd), em condições de campo. Uma formulação granulada de aldicarbe foi aplicada na dose recomendada, a 5 cm de profundidade, em lisímetros de 1,0 m de diâmetro e 0,45 e 0,90 m de profundidade, no início do período chuvoso. Nos cinco meses seguintes, o volume de água percolada nos lisímetros foi medido e amostras de água foram analisadas por cromatografia gás-líquido para a determinação da concentração de resíduos do composto. Os resíduos de aldicarbe e de seus produtos de oxidação ativos, sulfóxido e sulfona de aldicarbe, foram conjuntamente determinados na forma de sulfona de aldicarbe. Houve alta mobilidade dos resíduos de aldicarbe nos solos, porém, a intensa degradação desses resíduos resultou em sua lixiviação em quantidades relativamente baixas, a profundidades abaixo de 0,45 m (4,9% e 5,9% no LVdf e LVAd, respectivamente); na água percolada nos lisímetros de 0,90 m foram detectados resíduos apenas no LVdf. O risco de contaminação do lençol freático nos solos estudados, caracterizados como muito profundos, é mínimo.

Respeto o vampirización. El arte como"almacén" inagotable de ideas creativas al alcance de la publicidad

Since the begínning ofAdvertising, art has been a source ofinexhaustible inspiration for the advertising creative, who have used or misused it with any limits. With more or less direct references to artists, pieces or art movements, to references to the act ofart creation itself and certain aesthetic categories. Taking into account the various semantic versions that art offers, with multiple connotative lectures, this use has not been much profitable in many occasions, not as much as it could have been. However, in other circumstances, thís use has been vampirizing, only preoccupied for the audience impact ofa well knowll reference, but despising it and reducing it to a mere reclaim. In the case ofGiocconda by Leonardo da Vinci or the Birth ofVenus by Bottícelli are significant examples ofthis use, maybe popular, ofthe art productíon. That is to say that the depository was used as a source ofreferences to enrich the lectures ofthe advertising pieces (for instance, the excellent Citroen Xsara Picasso advertisement with the fordism mass production chain) or ¡ust to allow a higher t1Otoriety (like the Chupa-Chups advertisement where the Mona Lisa heartily sucks one ofthe mythical sweets with a stick). Thanks to a selected advertising pieces, graphical and audiovisual, we will be able to go through this kind ofadvertising creation logistics, from the moment that this one decided to call out these art references that were sleeping dreamingly Oll the fair in a depository until this strictly cultural moment came.

Concrete Pavement Mixture Design and Analysis (MDA): Evaluation of the Fresh and Hardened Properties of Concrete Mixtures Containing Permeability-Reducing Admixtures to Develop Standard Test Protocol, 2014

Concrete durability may be considered as the ability to maintain serviceability over the design life without significant deterioration, and is generally a direct function of the mixture permeability. Therefore, reducing permeability will improve the potential durability of a given mixture and, in turn, improve the serviceability and longevity of the structure. Given the importance of this property, engineers often look for methods that can decrease permeability. One approach is to add chemical compounds known as integral waterproofing admixtures or permeability-reducing admixtures, which help fill and block capillary pores in the paste. Currently, there are no standard approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of permeability-reducing admixtures or to compare different products in the US. A review of manufacturers’ data sheets shows that a wide range of test methods have been used, and rarely are the same tests used on more than one product. This study investigated the fresh and hardened properties of mixtures containing commercially available hydrophilic and hydrophobic types of permeability-reducing admixtures. The aim was to develop a standard test protocol that would help owners, engineers, and specifiers compare different products and to evaluate their effects on concrete mixtures that may be exposed to hydrostatic or non-hydrostatic pressure. In this experimental program, 11 concrete mixtures were prepared with a fixed water-to-cement ratio and cement content. One plain mixture was prepared as a reference, 5 mixtures were prepared using the recommended dosage of the different permeability-reducing admixtures, and 5 mixtures were prepared using double the recommended dosage. Slump, air content, setting time, compressive and flexural strength, shrinkage, and durability indicating tests including electrical resistivity, rapid chloride penetration, air permeability, permeable voids, and sorptivity tests were conducted at various ages. The data are presented and recommendations for a testing protocol are provided.

Effects of Special Aggregate on Bridge Deck Overlay Frictional Properties, HR-205, 1986

The Iowa DOT has been using the "Iowa Method" thin bonded low-slump dense Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) bridge deck overlay for rehabilitation of delaminated decks since 1963. In time, continued use of studded tires will wear away the transverse grooved texture. The objective of this research was to evaluate the benefit of incorporating a hard durable aggregate into a dense PCC overlay to provide frictional property longevity. The project included three overlays on I-35 near Ankeny. The texture and friction properties of two overlays, one constructed with crushed granite and the other with crushed quartzite coarse aggregate, were compared to an overlay constructed with locally available crushed limestone. There were no construction problems resulting from the use of crushed granite or quartzite. There was no significant frictional property benefit from the crushed granite or crushed quartzite through six years.

Cathodic Protection for a Continuous Box Girder Bridge Deck, HR-553, 1993

Bridge deck deterioration due to corrosive effect of deicers on reinforcing steel is a major problem facing many agencies. Cathodic protection is one method used to prevent reinforcing steel corrosion. The application of a direct current to the embedded reinforcing steel and a sacrificial anode protects the steel from corrosion. This 1992 project involved placing an Elgard Titanium Anode Mesh Cathodic Protection System on a bridge deck. The anode was fastened to the deck after the Class A repair-work and the overlay was placed using the Iowa Low Slump Dense Concrete System. The system was set up initially at 1 mA/sq ft.
