Pineapple plants when grown in the greenhouse by the sand culture technique in order to study the effects of deficiencies of macronutrients in growth, yield, leaf and fruit composition, the main results were the following. As a result of the several treatments, yield decreased in the order: Complete Minus Mg Minus S Minus Ca Minus K; nitrogen and phosphorus deficiente plants did not bear fruit. Leaf analyses (see Table 5-1) showed that the ommission of given element from the nutrient solution always caused a decrease in its level in the green tissue. As seen in Table 5-2 the lack of macronutrients had certain effects on fruit composition: acidity increased in all cases excet in the minus Mg fruits; ash usually decreased reaching its lowest valued in fruits from the minus K plants; when compared to fruits picked in the "normal" plants, those lacking K showed a marked decrease both in brix and in total sugars as well; sulfur deficiency also brought a net reduction in the sugar content.

Lógica, lenguaje y significado. Lógica intensional y gramática lógica

Este texto representa el esfuerzo combinado de dos lógicos, dos filósofos y un lingüista. Esta empresa fue inspirada por la convicción de los autores de que la lógica y el lenguaje son inseparables, en particular en lo que respecta al análisis del significado. Una región interdisciplinaria emerge entre los límites de la filosofía, la lógica y la lingüística. Lógica, lenguaje y significado: lógica intensional y gramática lógica es una introducción a este campo, el cual aplica los sistemas lógico-formales al estudio del significado del lenguaje natural. El libro comienza con una introducción de los distintos principios de la semántica intensional y luego presenta varias lógicas intensionales, tales como la lógica proposicional modal, la lógica de predicados modal y la lógica temporal. También introduce la teoría de tipos, la lambda-abstracción y la sintaxis categorial.

Varietal flavour compounds of four grape varieties producing Madeira wines

Boal, Malvasia, Sercial and Verdelho are the main white grape varieties used in Madeira wine production. To estimate the free fraction of varietal aroma compounds of these varieties, 39 samples of musts were analysed to determine their content of monoterpenols and C13 norisoprenoids (terpenoids), using dynamic headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The r-values for linearity studies of the analytical method used, varied between 0.977 (nerolidol) and 0.999 (linalool). The repeatability for each compound varied between 2.5% (citronellol) and 11.8% (β-ionone). The mean values from three vintages (1998, 1999 and 2000) confirmed that these musts have differentiated contents of terpenoids. In opposition to Verdelho musts, Malvasia showed the highest free terpenoids content. In order to establish relations between the compounds and the varieties under investigation, principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis were applied to the data, revealing a good separation and classification power between the four groups as a function of varietal origin.
