Supplementation of diets for Santa Ines sheep with organic and inorganic zinc sources

This research was conducted with objective to evaluate the effect of different zinc (Zn) sources and doses in the diet for Santa Ines sheep. Forty lambs at weaning, with 18.4 kg of body weight were supplemented with three different sources of zinc (zinc oxide (ZnO), zinc amino acid and zinc proteinate) and three doses of zinc (200, 400 and 600 mg/kg DM) added to the basal diet. At every 28 days, animals were weighted and blood samples were collected for analyses of zinc (Zn), alkaline phosphatase and immunoglobulin G (IgG) and M (IgM). At the end of experiment, liver samples were collected for determination of the hepatic zinc levels. Zinc was analyzed with atomic absorption spectrophotometer, while phosphatase alkaline and immunoglobulins G and M were analyzed using Laborlab and Bioclin kits, respectively. There was no effect of diets on phosphatase alkaline levels and hepatic zinc, but there was difference in the plasmatic zinc levels and IgG and IgM levels. Based on the accumulation of hepatic zinc, the estimate of the zinc bioavailability, through the regression equation, showed that supplementation with organic and inorganic sources of zinc did not differ in the diet of Santa Ines sheep. © 2012 Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia.

Frequency of estrus in santa inês, texel and ile de france ewes in the northwest of Paraná state, Brazil

The incidence of estrus in nulliparous Santa Inês (n = 16), Texel (n = 16) and Ile de France (n = 15) ewes fed two levels of crude protein (CP, 12 or 16%) was monitored from July 2005 to December 2006, and seasonality in the Santa Inês breed in the south of Brazil was characterized. The solar radiation data were recorded daily, and samples of blood were collected biweekly for determination of the plasma concentration of progesterone in Santa Inês lambs at, on average, 11±1 months of age. The female Santa Inês lambs, in the experimental period, stayed among teaser rams with a powdered-dye-ink mixture placed on their chest to mark the females that accepted to be mounted. Santa Inês ewes did not manifest estrus in the firstfortnightofNovemberandinDecember2005,norinthelastfortnightofDecember2006.Estrusactivitywasnotobservedon any of the three breeds in October 2006. Breeds differed at the level of 12% CP. Santa Inês and Ile de France females did not differ as for the probability estrus manifestation and both presented higher probabilities then Texel. When the effect of 12 or 16% CP on each breed was evaluated separately, it was verifiedthatlevelsof12or16%ofcrudeproteindidnotchangethe probability of estrus manifestation in any of the studied breeds. The concentration of plasma progesterone inSanta Inês ewes during the spring of 2005 and 2006 indicated that there is difference between 12% CP (0.68±1.32 ng/mL) and 16% CP (1.28±1.99 ng/mL) and between the years 2005 (0.39±0.78 ng/mL) and 2006 (1.47±2.08 ng/mL), demonstrating the anestrous seasonality of Santa Inês in South Brazil. © 2013 Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia.

Geochemistry and Pb-207/Pb-206 zircon ages of granitoids from the southern portion of the Tamboril-Santa Quiteria granitic-migmatitic complex, Ceara Central Domain, Borborema Province (NE Brazil)

The Tamboril-Santa Quiteria Complex is an important Neoproterozoic granitic-migmatitic unit from the Ceara Central Domain that developed from ca. 650 to 610 Ma. In general the granitoids range in composition from diorite to granite with predominance (up to 85%) of granitic to monzogranitic composition with biotite as the main mafic AFM phase. Geochemical and Pb-207/Pb-206 evaporation zircon geochronology studies were applied in a group of these abundant monzogranitic rocks from the region of Novo Oriente in the southern portion of the Ceara Central Domain. In this area the granitoids are weakly peraluminous biotite granitoids and deformed biotite granitoids of high-K calc-alkaline and ferroan composition, which we interpreted as primary magmas (segregated diatexites) derived from the partial melting of crustal material. The close temporal relation of this magmatism with local eclogitic and regional high temperature metamorphism in Ceara Central Domain point out to an orogenic setting, arguably emplaced during the collisional stage. Subordinate coeval juvenile mantle incursions are also present. This crustally derived magmatism is the primary product of the continental thickening that resulted from the collision between the rocks represented by the Amazonian-West African craton (Sao Luiz cratonic fragment) to the northwest and the Paleoproterozoic-Archean basement of the Borborema Province to the southeast along the Transbrasiliano tectonic corridor.

Taxonomical study on a sample of pulmonates from Santa Maria da Vitória, Bahia, Brazil, with description of a new genus and four new species (Mollusca: Orthalicidae and Megalobulimidae)

A sample of Pulmonata collected in Santa Maria da Vitória, interior of Bahia, Brazil, in Caatinga semi-arid environment, is studied taxonomically. From the five species, four are revealed as new, including a new genus. The new taxa are the Bulimulidae (1) Kora corallina gen. et sp. n. characterized by the elongated shell with aperture somewhat dislocated from the shell axis, and an oblique tooth in middle level of inner lip; (2) Spixia coltrorum, mainly characterized by an uneven spire, delicate sculpture and peristome with 4 equidistant teeth; (3) Anostoma tessa, mainly characterized by a broad spire and well-developed anal canal; and the Megalobulimidae (4) Megalobulimus amandus, mainly characterized by pointed protoconch sculptured by dense quantity of axial cords. Rhinus suturalis is the only previously known species, but its geographic distribution is expanded southwards to Bahia state. A discussion with respect to necessity for improving the study on the malacofauna from the interior region of the Brazilian Northeast and the importance for preservation of the Caatinga biome is also provided.

La intimidad de la mirada: el habitar a través de "Las Moradas" de Santa Teresa

La tesis tiene por objeto analizar desde la disciplina arquitectónica la forma de habitar de Teresa de Ávila desvelando los vínculos que se establecen, a partir de la intimidad, entre interioridad y exterioridad a través de su forma de la mirada. Se tratará de reproducir su mirada a través de las huellas que nos han llegado hasta la contemporaneidad. En Santa Teresa se dan tres escalas de lo ?interior-íntimo? a través de las cuales realiza sus desplazamientos y en las que se organiza la tesis: los tres grados del adverbio ?dentro?: INTRA (adverbio ?dentro?) - INTERIOR (comparativo de superioridad ?más dentro que?) - INTIMUS (superlativo ?lo más adentro de todo?). Éstas, permiten realizar una investigación transversal que abarca desde la gran escala de la lógica de las fundaciones, hasta el espacio más íntimo del Castillo Interior pasando por los ?conventos itinerantes? utilizados en sus viajes, las ocupaciones y el reciclaje de antiguas casas para las nuevas fundaciones, o las celdas mínimas de sus nuevas fundaciones. INTRA (dentro) En el primer capítulo se realiza una aproximación a la mirada de Teresa de Jesús desde la forma de habitar en territorio: las andaduras. La lógica de los desplazamientos teresianos por el territorio viene definida por el tiempo monástico. Teresa de Ávila se desplazaba en sus viajes utilizando carros y coches en los que un habitar que nómada los transformaba en conventos itinerantes mediante un uso de los tiempos, los silencios y los objetos característicos del habitar monástico. Se realiza en primer lugar un análisis territorial de las andaduras que recorren los espacios más característicos de Castilla para posteriormente extraer el sentido del viaje como experiencia y su forma de la mirada ante el territorio. INTERIOR (más dentro que) En el segundo capítulo, ahondando en la interioridad, aparecen los conventos como espacios de lo doméstico y la celda como núcleo de lo interior. La lógica de las Fundaciones desvela una relación territorial de cada una de ellas. Esta red territorial, a modo de rizoma, permitía comunicaciones y conexiones intensas mientras que al mismo tiempo su situación dentro de las ciudades garantizaba lugares de silencio y desierto. Son espacios para el silencio a la vez que islas y archipiélagos interconectados. Posteriormente se analiza la celda como el espacio de la intimidad: la alcoba. Se trata de establecer las relaciones entre el espacio y el cuerpo en el habitar, la búsqueda de silencio y el movimiento hacia la interioridad a través del vacío de los espacios. INTIMUS (lo más adentro de todo) La investigación se introduce, por último en el espacio de la intimidad, lo más profundo del habitar. La metáfora es la forma de desvelar y transmitir ese paisaje interior. Se trata de un acto creativo en el que podemos acercamos a los objetos que se escapan de la experiencia cotidiana para sugerirlos sin la pretensión de agotar totalmente todo su significado. Desde este punto de vista, se estudian las distintas metáforas que expresan la experiencia mística de Teresa de Ávila. El castillo, la montaña, el jardín, el vacío, el corazón aparecen como lugares del habitar, como diferentes espacios o moradas de la intimidad. Teresa de Jesús, escribe no sólo para transmitir ese paisaje interior, sino también para examinarlo y comprenderlo a través de la razón mística o razón poética. Ésta vía de pensamiento se transforma de método de aprehensión de la realidad en actitud mística del ser y de la palabra. En Castillo Interior necesita del recorrido para narrar su experiencia de interioridad-intimidad.
