Microsatellite Loci For Orthophytum Ophiuroides (bromelioideae, Bromeliaceae) Species Adapted To Neotropical Rock Outcrops.

• Microsatellite primers were developed for Orthophytum ophiuroides, a rupicolous bromeliad species endemic to neotropical rocky fields. These microsatellite loci will be used to investigate population differentiation and species cohesion in such fragmented environments. The loci were tested for cross-amplification in related bromeliad species. • Eleven polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized from an enriched library of O. ophiuroides. The loci were tested on 42 individuals from two populations of this species. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to nine and the expected and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.167 to 0.870 and from 0.369 to 0.958, respectively. Seven loci successfully amplified in other related bromeliad species. • Our results suggest that the microsatellite loci developed here will be useful to assess genetic diversity and gene flow in O. ophiuroides for the investigation of population differentiation and species cohesion in neotropical mountainous habitats.

Influência do consumo alimentar na gestação sobre a retenção de peso pós-parto

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a influência da alimentação durante a gestação sobre a retenção de peso pós-parto. MÉTODOS: Foram acompanhadas 82 gestantes adultas e saudáveis que iniciaram o pré-natal em serviço público de saúde no Município de São Paulo, SP, entre abril e junho de 2005. As medidas de peso e estatura foram aferidas na primeira entrevista (até 16 semanas de gestação) e a medida de peso foi repetida em visita domiciliar 15 dias após o parto. O Recordatório de 24 horas foi usado para avaliar o consumo alimentar e foi aplicado nos três trimestres da gestação. Foi calculado o consumo médio de gordura saturada, fibras, açúcar adicionado, refrigerantes, alimentos processados, frutas, verduras e legumes, e a densidade energética da dieta. A retenção de peso foi obtida pela diferença entre a medida de peso pós-parto e a primeira medida realizada. A influência da alimentação sobre a retenção de peso pós-parto foi avaliada por meio de análise de regressão linear múltipla e foi realizado o teste para tendência linear. As variáveis utilizadas para ajuste do modelo foram: índice de massa corporal no início da gestação, estatura, renda familiar per capita, tabagismo, idade e escolaridade. RESULTADOS: O índice de massa corporal inicial médio foi de 24 kg/m² e a retenção média de peso foi de 1,9 kg. O aumento do consumo de gordura saturada (p = 0,005) e alimentos processados (p = 0,014) elevou de forma significativa a retenção de peso pós-parto, após ajuste pelas variáveis de controle. As demais variáveis de consumo alimentar não apresentaram relação significativa com a variável desfecho. CONCLUSÕES: O maior consumo de alimentos não saudáveis, como alimentos processados, e de gordura saturada influencia a elevação da retenção de peso pós-parto.

Política externa chilena e espectro ideológico político-partidário: um estudo sobre a Câmara dos Deputados (2002-2006)

The influence of political parties on decisions made by members of Congress is a hotly debated issue in political science. In foreign policy, which is usually considered nonpartisan, the matter is even more inconclusive. The current study analyzes all the roll-call votes taken on foreign policy issues in the 2002-2006 legislature of the Chilean Chamber of Deputies. After tracing a spatial map of foreign policy preferences among Chilean Deputies using the Nominate statistical package, we concluded that the ideology of the legislator's political party is a predictive factor for his or her foreign policy behavior. Our findings indicate that the way Chilean legislators structure their preferences on foreign policy issues does not differ significantly from the way they shape their domestic policy preferences.

Offline Detection, Identification, and Correction of Branch Parameter Errors Based on Several Measurement Snapshots

This paper proposes a three-stage offline approach to detect, identify, and correct series and shunt branch parameter errors. In Stage 1 the branches suspected of having parameter errors are identified through an Identification Index (II). The II of a branch is the ratio between the number of measurements adjacent to that branch, whose normalized residuals are higher than a specified threshold value, and the total number of measurements adjacent to that branch. Using several measurement snapshots, in Stage 2 the suspicious parameters are estimated, in a simultaneous multiple-state-and-parameter estimation, via an augmented state and parameter estimator which increases the V - theta state vector for the inclusion of suspicious parameters. Stage 3 enables the validation of the estimation obtained in Stage 2, and is performed via a conventional weighted least squares estimator. Several simulation results (with IEEE bus systems) have demonstrated the reliability of the proposed approach to deal with single and multiple parameter errors in adjacent and non-adjacent branches, as well as in parallel transmission lines with series compensation. Finally the proposed approach is confirmed on tests performed on the Hydro-Quebec TransEnergie network.

Synthesis of 2-Aryl- and 2,5-Diarylfurans and Thiophenes by Suzuki-Miyaura Reactions Using Potassium Trifluoroborate Salts and Heteroaryltellurides

The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of 2-(butyltellanyl) or 2,5-bis-(butyltellanyl)furans and thiophenes with potassium aryltrifluoroborate salts catalyzed by palladium afforded 2-aryl- or 2,5-diaryl-furans and thiophenes in moderate to good yields.
