Tab. 1. Listing of BGR seismic refraction results off West Spitsbergen

Three main depositional sequences have been determined in the seismic records taken off West Spitsbergen (1) a Plio-Pleistocene sequence SPI-I with velocities of 1.7 to 2.8 km/sec; (2) a Pliocene allochthonous sequence SPI-II with velocities of 2.4 to 2.8 km/sec underlying unconformity U1; (3) a pre-Middle Oligocene sequence SPI-III with velocities of 2.9 to 4.8 km/sec underlying a distinct unconformity (U2) and deposited in front of the downfaulted Spitsbergen Platform indicating some opening of the Greenland Sea already before tbe time of magnetic anomaly 13 (36 m.y.b.p.). A marked change in the seismic configuration of the oceanic basement has been observed about 30 to 40 km east of the central Knipovich graben. The transition from the oceanic crust of the Knipovich Ridge to the strongly faulted, continental substratum of the Spitsbergen Platform occurs over a narrow zone and is associated with a pre-Middle Oligocene depocenter.

Uso de repelentes na proteção de árvores dos danos provocados por herbívoros vertebrados.

A introdução de árvores em pastagens com o gado é dificultada pelos danos provocados por pisoteio e forrageamento dos animais. Em outras situações de convivência de herbívoros com árvores tem-se procurado afastar os animais com uso de substâncias repelentes. Os repelentes se baseiam na utilização dos sentidos para provocar a aversão nos animais. Os sentidos em questão são o paladar (sabor amargo associado a um efeito negativo pós-ingestão, criando aversão condicionada), olfato (especialmente odores relacionados com o predador) e dor (estimulação do nervo trigêmeo, como capsaicina). De acordo com o modo como são aplicados, os repelentes podem ser classificados como de área (especialmente os baseados no odor); de contato (especialmente os baseados no sabor); e sistêmicos (uma substância que é absorvida pela planta e distribuída pelos tecidos vegetais, como é o caso do selênio). A pesquisa com repelentes ainda tem um longo caminho a seguir, porque inúmeros fatores afetam o resultado dessas substâncias, entre eles a existência de alimentos alternativos, densidade animal, chuvas e concentração do princípio ativo. Existem poucos trabalhos com bovinos. Alguns produtos foram considerados eficientes para cervídeos e são utilizados em larga escala em países de clima frio. Um desses produtos baseia-se em sólidos de ovos putrefeitos (Deer Away - BGR). Considera-se que tenha eficiência de proteção acima de 85% por um período superior a cinco semanas nas condições utilizadas. O desenvolvimento de produtos com essas características, para uso em mudas florestais expostas a bovinos (ou ovinos) em condições tropicais, poderia alavancar o estabelecimento de sistemas silvipastoris.

Exciton behavior in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled double quantum wells with interface disorder

In this work, we present a detailed study on the optical properties of two GaAs/Al(0.35)Ga(0.65)As coupled double quantum wells (CDQWs) with inter-well barriers of different thicknesses, by using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The two CDQWs were grown in a single sample, assuring very similar experimental conditions for measurements of both. The PL spectrum of each CDQW exhibits two recombination channels which can be accurately identified as the excitonic e(1)-hh(1) transitions originated from CDQWs of different effective dimensions. The PL spectra characteristics and the behavior of the emissions as a function of temperature and excitation power are interpreted in the scenario of the bimodal interface roughness model, taking into account the exciton migration between the two regions considered in this model and the difference in the potential fluctuation levels between those two regions. The details of the PL spectra behavior as a function of excitation power are explained in terms of the competition between the band gap renormalization (BGR) and the potential fluctuation effects. The results obtained for the two CDQWs, which have different degrees of potential fluctuation, are also compared and discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

PGC-1α and exercise: important partners in combating insulin resistance

Diabetes and obesity are characterised by an impairment in mitochondrial function resulting in a decrease in glucose and fatty acid oxidation, respiration and an increase in intramuscular triglycerides (IMTG's) and insulin resistance. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-ggr coactivator 1agr (PGC-1agr) is a nuclear transcriptional coactivator which regulates several important metabolic processes including, mitochondrial biogenesis, adaptive thermogenesis, respiration, insulin secretion and gluconeogenesis. In addition, PGC-1agr has been shown to increase the percentage of oxidative type I muscle fibres, with the latter responsible for the majority of insulin stimulated glucose uptake. PGC-1agr also co-activates PPAR's agr, bgr/dgr and ggr which are important transcription factors of genes regulating lipid and glucose metabolism. Exercise causes mitochondrial biogenesis, improves skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation capacity and insulin sensitivity, therefore making it an important intervention for the treatment of insulin resistance. The expression of PGC-1agr mRNA is reduced in diabetic subjects, however, it is rapidly induced in response to interventions which signal alterations in metabolic requirements, such as exercise. Because of the important role of PGC-1agr in the control of energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity, it is seen as a candidate factor in the etiology of type 2 diabetes and a drug target for its therapeutic treatment.

Analysis of confinement potential fluctuation and band-gap renormalization effects on excitonic transition in GaAs/AlGaAs multiquantum wells grown on (100) and (311)A GaAs surfaces

The competition between confinement potential fluctuations and band-gap renormalization (BGR) in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wells grown on [1 0 0] and [3 1 1]A GaAs substrates is evaluated. The results clearly demonstrate the coexistence of the band-tail states filling related to potential fluctuations and the band-gap renormalization caused by an increase in the density of photogenerated carriers during the photoluminescence (PL) experiments. Both phenomena have strong influence on temperature dependence of the PL-peak energy (E-PL(T)). As the photon density increases, the E-PL can shift to either higher or lower energies, depending on the sample temperature. The temperature at which the displacement changes from a blueshift to a redshift is governed by the magnitude of the potential fluctuations and by the variation of BGR with excitation density. A simple band-tail model with a Gaussian-like distribution of the density of state was used to describe the competition between the band-tail filling and the BGR effects on E-PL(T).
