O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar os parâmetros cinéticos da degradação, in situ, da matéria seca, da proteína bruta e da fibra em detergente neutro das silagens de milho e de capim-elefante, do feno de capim-Tifton 85 e do farelo de soja. Foram utilizados três bovinos adultos, fistulados no rúmen, com peso vivo médio de 400 kg. Os alimentos foram pesados em sacos de náilon, incubados todos de uma vez e retirados nos tempos 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48 e 72 horas, após a incubação dos volumosos, e 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 e 48 horas, após incubação do farelo de soja. Os resíduos dos sacos foram analisados quanto ao conteúdo de matéria seca, proteína bruta e fibra em detergente neutro. A matéria seca e a proteína bruta do farelo de soja apresentaram potencial de degradação elevado, assim como a proteína bruta da silagem de milho. Destacou-se a elevada fração não-degradável da fibra em detergente neutro do feno de capim-Tifton 85 e, portanto, sua baixa degradabilidade potencial da matéria seca. O teor de fibra em detergente neutro e suas características cinéticas exercem acentuado efeito sobre a digestão dos alimentos.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of substrate and preconditioning treatments on the acclimatization of in vitro plants of Arachis retusa. Plants were transferred to Plantmax or sand, and fertilized with Hoagland's nutrient solution. Plants maintained in sand, with or without fertilizer, showed the highest survival rates. In order to evaluate the influence of in vitro preconditioning treatments, stem segments were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different sucrose concentrations. The highest survival and developmental rates were observed in plants from two accessions cultured on MS supplemented with 1.5% and 3% sucrose. Flowering and fruit production were observed after five months.

Clinical trials have shown that strong tumor antigen-specific CD8 T-cell responses are difficult to induce but can be achieved for T-cells specific for melanoma differentiation antigens, upon repetitive vaccination with stable emulsions prepared with synthetic peptides and incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Here, we show in four melanoma patients that ex vivo detectable T-cells and thus strong T-cell responses can also be induced against the more universal cancer-testis antigens NY-ESO-1 and Mage-A10. Interestingly, all patients had ex vivo detectable T-cell responses against multiple antigens after serial vaccinations with three peptides emulsified in incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Antigen-specific T-cells displayed an activated phenotype and secreted IFNgamma. The robust immune responses provide a solid basis for further development of human T-cell vaccination.

Se evaluó el efecto de un preparado de enzimas fibrolíticas exógenas (celulasas y xilanasas) en la degradabilidad in situ de la materia seca (DisMS), fibra detergente neutro (DFDNr) y fibra detergente ácido residual (DFDAr), en dietas altas o bajas en harina de nopal deshidratado. Se aplicaron concentraciones de 0, 1, 2 y 3 g de enzima por kilogramo de materia seca al inicio y 24 horas antes de la degradación in situ. Se determinó la concentración de ácidos grasos volátiles totales y de nitrógeno amoniacal a las 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 y 24 horas después de aplicarse la enzima. No se observaron efectos en DisMS, DFDNr y DFDAr; la aplicación al inicio de la degradación in situ mostró valores más altos que a 24 horas para DisMS y DFDNr, pero fue menor para DFDAr. No se observaron diferencias en las interacciones entre niveles de enzima, tipo de dieta y tiempo de pretratamiento. La aplicación de 1 y 3 g de enzima, en la dieta con bajo contenido de harina de nopal, tuvo efectos en el incremento de los ácidos grasos volátiles totales; para el nitrógeno amoniacal, los mejores resultados ocurrieron con 0 y 1 g de enzima.

This project utilized information from ground penetrating radar (GPR) and visual inspection via the pavement profile scanner (PPS) in proof-of-concept trials. GPR tests were carried out on a variety of portland cement concrete pavements and laboratory concrete specimens. Results indicated that the higher frequency GPR antennas were capable of detecting subsurface distress in two of the three pavement sites investigated. However, the GPR systems failed to detect distress in one pavement site that exhibited extensive cracking. Laboratory experiments indicated that moisture conditions in the cracked pavement probably explain the failure. Accurate surveys need to account for moisture in the pavement slab. Importantly, however, once the pavement site exhibits severe surface cracking, there is little need for GPR, which is primarily used to detect distress that is not observed visually. Two visual inspections were also conducted for this study by personnel from Mandli Communications, Inc., and the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT). The surveys were conducted using an Iowa DOT video log van that Mandli had fitted with additional equipment. The first survey was an extended demonstration of the PPS system. The second survey utilized the PPS with a downward imaging system that provided high-resolution pavement images. Experimental difficulties occurred during both studies; however, enough information was extracted to consider both surveys successful in identifying pavement surface distress. The results obtained from both GPR testing and visual inspections were helpful in identifying sites that exhibited materials-related distress, and both were considered to have passed the proof-of-concept trials. However, neither method can currently diagnose materials-related distress. Both techniques only detected the symptoms of materials-related distress; the actual diagnosis still relied on coring and subsequent petrographic examination. Both technologies are currently in rapid development, and the limitations may be overcome as the technologies advance and mature.
