Pesca de pequena escala em Moçambique: possibilidades de desenvolvimento

The small-scale fishery is a traditional activity and enrolled in social and cultural practices of the coastal communities and some places of the inland waters of Mozambique. Scope for development, major constraints in the small-scale fisheries and best practices are examined.

Escala macroscópica de maturaçāo e ciclo sexual das espécies Penaeus indicus H. Milne Edward e Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius)

The macroscopic scale used for determination of sexual maturity in shrimps was tested against objective parameters namely the gonad-somatic index and the size of oocytes. The two main species caught in Mozambique, Penaeus indicus and Metapenaeus monoceros, were the object of the work. In order to reduce the subjectivity in the macroscopic exam, a table with the colours representative of each stage is presented. Since this study was conducted over a period of 13 consecutive months and there were observations from previous years, the sexual cycle of the two species is also presented, as well as an estimate of the size at first maturity.

Bayesian inference for multidimensional NMR image reconstruction

Reconstruction of an image from a set of projections has been adapted to generate multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, which have discrete features that are relatively sparsely distributed in space. For this reason, a reliable reconstruction can be made from a small number of projections. This new concept is called Projection Reconstruction NMR (PR-NMR). In this paper, multidimensional NMR spectra are reconstructed by Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC). This statistical method generates samples under the assumption that each peak consists of a small number of parameters: position of peak centres, peak amplitude, and peak width. In order to find the number of peaks and shape, RJMCMC has several moves: birth, death, merge, split, and invariant updating. The reconstruction schemes are tested on a set of six projections derived from the three-dimensional 700 MHz HNCO spectrum of a protein HasA.

Analytical solution of a multidimensional Langevin equation at high friction limits and probability passing over a two-dimensional saddle

The analytical solution of a multidimensional Langevin equation at the overdamping limit is obtained and the probability of particles passing over a two-dimensional saddle point is discussed. These results may break a path for studying further the fusion in superheavy elements synthesis.

Economia Ecológica e a escala sustentável da produção agrícola no município de Araras, SP.

O desenvolvimento econômico e o meio ambiente estão indissoluvelmente vinculados e devem ser tratados mediante a mudança do conteúdo, das modalidades e das utilizações do crescimento, devendo ser levados em consideração critérios fundamentais de equidade social, prudência ecológica e eficiência econômica. Recentemente tem ocorrido uma intensificação do debate sobre as consequências do aumento sem precedentes da escala do sistema econômico sobre o capital natural da Terra. A Economia Ecológica preconiza a integração de conceitos das ciências econômicas e das demais ciências sociais e políticas e das ciências naturais, notadamente a Ecologia, oferecendo uma perspectiva integrada e biofísica das interações do meio ambiente. Assim, a Economia Ecológica traz implícita a ideia de uma agenda de pesquisa verdadeiramente "transdisciplinar" e está fundamentada na visão pré-analítica que considera a economia um subsistema inserido em um sistema maior, finito e materialmente fechado (porém, aberto ao fluxo energético solar). O enfoque deve, então, promover a sustentabilidade dos bens e serviços ecossistêmicos e, para tanto, deve estar apoiado em componentes estruturais como: "escala" sustentável de exploração; "alocação" dos bens e serviços ecossistêmicos; "distribuição" desses bens e serviços; e o "princípio da precaução".

Human plasma proteome analysis by multidimensional chromatography prefractionation and linear ion trap mass spectrometry identification

A resurgence of interest in the human plasma proteome has occurred in recent years because it holds great promise of revolution in disease diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. As one of the most powerful separation techniques, multidimensional liquid chromatography has attracted extensive attention, but most published works have focused on the fractionation of tryptic peptides. In this study, proteins from human plasma were prefractionated by online sequential strong cation exchange chromatography and reversed-phase chromatography. The resulting 30 samples were individually digested by trypsin, and analyzed by capillary reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap mass spectrometry. After meeting stringent criteria, a total of 1292 distinct proteins were successfully identified in our work, among which, some proteins known to be present in serum in < 10 ng/mL were detected. Compared with other works in published literatures, this analysis offered a more full-scale list of the plasma proteome. Considering our strategy allows high throughput of protein identification in serum, the prefractionation of proteins before MS analysis is a simple and effective method to facilitate human plasma proteome research.
