Solos das "Glebas 01, 02, 03 e 06" do Município de Machadinho D´Oeste-RO.

O Município de Machadinho d´Oeste, em Rondônia foi escolhido para um estudo de longo prazo. Já são 10 anos de acompanhamento de mais de 450 pequenas propriedades rurais e cerca de 250 variáveis biofísicas, sócio-econômicas e ambientais. A duração deste projeto é de 100 anos. Os estudos pedológicos da área do "Projeto de Assentamento Machadinho" teve como objetivos identificar os solos das Glebas e implementar uma base de dados do meio físico em escala municipal, através do uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento (SIG´s); bem com o caracterizar e avaliar química, física e morfologicamente os perfis de solos representativos das principais unidades identificadas, a fim de promover o desenvolvimento agrícola da região e fornecer subsídios para estudos em áreas semelhantes na Amazônia.

Genome-wide Association Study Implicates HLA-C*01:02 as a Risk Factor at the Major Histocompatibility Complex Locus in Schizophrenia

BACKGROUND: We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify common risk variants for schizophrenia. METHODS: The discovery scan included 1606 patients and 1794 controls from Ireland, using 6,212,339 directly genotyped or imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A subset of this sample (270 cases and 860 controls) was subsequently included in the Psychiatric GWAS Consortium-schizophrenia GWAS meta-analysis. RESULTS: One hundred eight SNPs were taken forward for replication in an independent sample of 13,195 cases and 31,021 control subjects. The most significant associations in discovery, corrected for genomic inflation, were (rs204999, p combined = 1.34 × 10(-9) and in combined samples (rs2523722 p combined = 2.88 × 10(-16)) mapped to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region. We imputed classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles at the locus; the most significant finding was with HLA-C*01:02. This association was distinct from the top SNP signal. The HLA alleles DRB1*03:01 and B*08:01 were protective, replicating a previous study. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides further support for involvement of MHC class I molecules in schizophrenia. We found evidence of association with previously reported risk alleles at the TCF4, VRK2, and ZNF804A loci.

Non-linear finite element analysis of thin composite structures

A non-conforming three-node triangular finite element with 18 degree of freedom, is used in conjugation with the Kirchhoff theory for the non-linear analysis of thin composite plate-shell structure. The formulation of the geometrically non-linear analysis is based on an updated Lagrangian formulation associated with the Newton-Raphson iterative technique, which incorporates an automatic arc-length control procedure.
