NÍVEIS DE MAGNÉSIO em SOLUÇÃO NUTRITIVA E O DESENVOLVIMENTO do FEIJOEIRO (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Carioca): AVALIAÇÃO DE PARÂMETROS BIOMÉTRICOS

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a influência dos níveis de magnésio sobre a altura, número de folhas e frutos e área foliar do feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Carioca), que constituem seus parâmetros biométricos. Empregou-se a solução nutritiva nº 2 de Hoagland & Arnon, modificada pela variação da concentração desse mineral, que estabeleceu a diferença entre os tratamentos. em cada vaso, com capacidade para 6 litros, foram cultivadas 3 plantas. O experimento foi inteiramente casualizado, com 3 repetições, em esquema fatorial, com 5 níveis de magnésio e 5 colheitas, realizadas a intervalos de 14 dias. As plantas apresentaram aumento do número de folhas e da área foliar, na 3ª e 4ª colheitas, quando nutridas com 2,4 ppm de magnésio e aumento de altura e número de folhas, na 3ª colheita, naquelas submetidas a 24,3 ppm. Aumento do número de folhas, na 3ª colheita, foi observado em plantas nutridas com 72,9 ppm e na 3ª e 5ª colheitas naquelas submetidas a 97,2 ppm. Estes resultados sugerem que, nas condições do experimento, 2,4 ppm de Mg foram suficientes para manter o desenvolvimento adequado dos feijoeiros e que o nível ideal deste mineral para crescimento e desenvolvimento das plantas estaria entre 2,4 e 24,3 ppm.

Períodes de controle de Brachiaria sp e seus reflexos na produtividade de Eucalyptus grandis

A field trial was conduced in Piratininga, São Paulo State, Brazil, from August to 1991 to May 1999, aiming to study the effects of weed interference on the productivity of Eucalyptus grandis W. Hill Ex Maiden. The experimental design was complete randomized blocks with four replications. The treatments consisted of different extensions and times of the weed free period. The weed free periods were divided in two groups. In the first one, the weed free period were from the Eucalyptus planting to 28, 56, 112, 140, 168, 224, 278 and 360 days. In the second group the weed free period began at 0, 28, 56, 112, 140, 168, 224 and 278 days after the planting and finished at 364 days. The main weeds were Brachiaria decumbens and Brachiaria brizantha. The eucalypt plants were strong susceptive at weed interference at 12 months after planting, it was showing PAI of 12 and 6 days, when to consider 2 and 5% reduction on height. Although, to assure crop productivity at Piratininga it was necessary to maintain a weed free period of to 364 and 365 days after planting (PTPI) at 12 months, 194 and 166 days after planting at 24 months, 188 and 130 days after planting at 36 months, 88 and 54 days after planting at 48 months and 155 and 133 days after planting at 78 months, when to consider 2 an 5% reduction on heigth. But, if when to consider the DAP, the PTPI was 242 and 200 days after planting at 24 months, 208 and 153 days after planting at 36 months, 224 and 150 days after planting at 48 months and 134 and 119 days after planting at 78 months. Although when to consider the wood volume it was necessary to keep the weed free from the planting to 153 and 142 days at 36 months after planting, 99 and 91 days at 48 months after planting and 92 and 72 days at 78 months after planting (crop). However, in area to suggest the recuperation the eucalypt plants at weed Interference.

Diagnóstico nutricional de pacientes internados por tuberculose em Belém do Pará

Doenças infecciosas crônicas, como a tuberculose (Tb), são causas de distúrbios metabólicos que interferem na utilização e mobilização de nutrientes corporais, afetando o estado nutricional. A função imunológica de doentes desnutridos é alterada, o que, provavelmente, implica maior incidência de infecções. Neste estudo objetivou-se diagnosticar o estado nutricional de pacientes recém-internados por tuberculose no Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto, em Belém, aplicando uma técnica de avaliação subjetiva global (ASG) e verificando sua concordância com um método objetivo, o índice de massa corporal (IMC). Foi descritivo e parte dele descritivo-analítico, transversal, tendo como população de referência pacientes de tuberculose encaminhados para hospitalização, excluindo aqueles com meningite tuberculosa. As variáveis controladas foram peso, altura, sexo, formas de Tb, alterações de peso, de gordura subcutânea, de massa muscular, da ingesta alimentar e da capacidade funcional, a presença de sintomas gastrointestinais, sinais de edema e ascite. O perfil nutricional observado foi de 77,8% de desnutridos, sendo, destes, 83,78% moderados e 16,22% graves, com um IMC médio de 18,36 ± 3,86 Kg/m². A maioria relatou perda ponderal nos últimos seis meses antes da internação, em níveis de 5% a 10% do seu peso habitual; 73,82% relataram modificação para menos na ingesta alimentar, e presença de sintomas gastrointestinais em 64,58% deles, sendo a anorexia o mais freqüente, seguida de náuseas, vômitos e diarréia. A perda da capacidade funcional foi referida em 100% (nutridos e desnutridos). Ao exame físico foi possível perceber que 79,16% apresentavam perda de gordura subcutânea e massa muscular, conjuntamente, e nenhum caso apresentou edema ou ascite. A Tb pulmonar foi a mais incidente, sendo encontrados três casos de Tb ganglionar e um de Tb óssea, associada à SIDA. O IMC, em relação à ASG, apresentou um coeficiente de Kappa igual a 0,47, validade sensível de 67% e especificidade de 100%. A ASG se mostrou uma técnica de boa aplicabilidade, demonstrando na prática dados inerentes não só ao estado nutricional, mas também ao modo de vida dos indivíduos, oferecendo subsídios relevantes para a terapêutica no nível hospitalar. O diagnóstico nutricional mostrou uma prevalência elevada de desnutridos, tanto pelo método subjetivo, como pelo objetivo e que a preocupação com o estado nutricional precoce propicia uma adequada intervenção nutricional. Os resultados recomendam a continuidade deste estudo, avaliando a situação nutricional quando da internação e acompanhando, periodicamente, cada caso, de modo a subsidiar melhor assistência por parte de toda a equipe de saúde a este grupo de doentes.

Aplicação da análise de jarabak, no estudo da relação entre a altura total facial anterior e posterior, em pacientes portadores de má-oclusão de classe I e classe II divisão 1 de angle, por meio de radiografias cefalométricas

ln order to predict the facial growth using Jarahak's analysis, cephalometric radiographies of 120 subjects during the mixed dentition and between 6 and 10 years of age were studied. From the total, 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females) were classified as Angle's Class I and 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females) were classified as Angle's Class II, Division 1. AIl subjects did not receive any orthodontic treatment. The proportion between anterior and posterior facial heigth (SGo-NMe) was studied, which is determined by the formula PFH x 100/ AFH = %, neither being straight (> 62% < 65), clockwise ( > 58% < 62%) and anti-clockwise ( > 65% - 80%). Mean average, standard deviation and facial height proportion (SGo - NMe) were determined for males and females according to Angle's classification of malocc!usion. Sexual dimorphism was examined with regard to different types of Angle's malocclusion and the direction of the facial growth, and the correlation of four cephalometrics measurements were analvsed

Estimativas de parâemtros genéticos para características morfométricas em cavalos Quarto de Milha de corrida

With highlighted sprint ability, the racing line is important segment within the Quarter Horses breed, with huge impact on agribusiness. Theseanimals have noted morphological differences when compared to other lines within the breed, especially for larger body size proportions.The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters forbody measurements traitsof the racing line of the Quarter Horses breed via Bayesian inference. Here,289 animals of both sexes, registered at brazilian association of breeders (ABQM), were used. The results showed high coefficient of heritability for body length (0.74) and back-loin lenght(0.61). The heritability coefficients for height at withersand croup length were moderate (0.44 and 0.47, respectively). High genetic correlation for body length and croup length and for body length and back-loins lengthwas also observed(0.80 and 0.76, respectively). Taking into account the estimates of heritability and genetic correlations between body measurement traits, the body length and height at withers traits proved to be appropriate to provide future researches that investigate the genetic correlation between body measurements and racing performance. Keywords: Heritability, Correlation, Length, Heigth.

Bedform measurements from the San Francisco Bay Coastal System

The morphology of ~45,000 bedforms from 13 multibeam bathymetry surveys was used as a proxy for identifying net bedload sediment transport directions and pathways throughout the San Francisco Bay estuary and adjacent outer coast. The spatially-averaged shape asymmetry of the bedforms reveals distinct pathways of ebb and flood transport. Additionally, the region-wide, ebb-oriented asymmetry of 5% suggests net seaward-directed transport within the estuarine-coastal system, with significant seaward asymmetry at the mouth of San Francisco Bay (11%), through the northern reaches of the Bay (7-8%), and among the largest bedforms (21% for lambda > 50 m). This general indication for the net transport of sand to the open coast strongly suggests that anthropogenic removal of sediment from the estuary, particularly along clearly defined seaward transport pathways, will limit the supply of sand to chronically eroding, open-coast beaches. The bedform asymmetry measurements significantly agree (up to ~ 76%) with modeled annual residual transport directions derived from a hydrodynamically-calibrated numerical model, and the orientation of adjacent, flow-sculpted seafloor features such as mega-flute structures, providing a comprehensive validation of the technique. The methods described in this paper to determine well-defined, cross-validated sediment transport pathways can be applied to estuarine-coastal systems globally where bedforms are present. The results can inform and improve regional sediment management practices to more efficiently utilize often limited sediment resources and mitigate current and future sediment supply-related impacts.

Plant frequency and cover abundance at three sites on Disko Island in 1967/1970 and 2009

We report on a revisit in 2009 to sites where vegetation was recorded in 1967 and 1970 on Disko Island, West Greenland. Re-sampling of the same clones of the grass Phleum alpinum after 39 years showed complete stability in biometrics but dramatic earlier onset of various phenological stages that were not related to changes in population density. In a fell-field community, there was a net species loss, but in a herb-slope community, species losses balanced those that were gained. The type of species establishing and increasing in frequency and/or cover abundance at the fell-field site, particularly prostrate dwarf shrubs, indicates a possible start of a shift towards a heath, rather than a fell-field community. At the herb-slope site, those species that established or increased markedly in frequency and/or cover abundance indicate a change to drier conditions. This is confirmed both by the decrease in abundance of Alchemilla glomerulans and Epilobium hornemanii, and the drying of a nearby pond. The causes of these changes are unknown, although mean annual temperature has risen since 1984.

Thallium isotope composition in pyrites

This paper presents the first study of Tl isotopes in early diagenetic pyrite. Measurements from two sections deposited during the Toarcian Ocean Anoxic Event (T-OAE, ~183 Ma) are compared with data from Late Neogene (<10 Ma) pyrite samples from ODP legs 165 and 167 that were deposited in relatively oxic marine environments. The Tl isotope compositions of Late Neogene pyrites are all significantly heavier than seawater, which most likely indicates that Tl in diagenetic pyrite is partially sourced from ferromanganese oxy-hydroxides that are known to display relatively heavy Tl isotope signatures. One of the T-OAE sections from Peniche in Portugal displays pyrite thallium isotope compositions indistinguishable from Late Neogene samples, whereas samples from Yorkshire in the UK are depleted in the heavy isotope of Tl. These lighter compositions are best explained by the lack of ferromanganese precipitation at the sediment-water interface due to the sulfidic (euxinic) conditions thought to be prevalent in the Cleveland Basin where the Yorkshire section was deposited. The heavier signatures in the Peniche samples appear to result from an oxic water column that enabled precipitation of ferromanganese oxy-hydroxides at the sediment-water interface. The Tl isotope profile from Yorkshire is also compared with previously published molybdenum isotope ratios determined on the same sedimentary succession. There is a suggestion of an anti-correlation between these two isotope systems, which is consistent with the expected isotope shifts that occur in seawater when marine oxic (ferromanganese minerals) fluxes fluctuate. The results outlined here represent the first evidence that Tl isotopes in early diagenetic pyrite have potential to reveal variations in past ocean oxygenation on a local scale and potentially also for global oceans. However, much more information about Tl isotopes in different marine environments, especially in anoxic/euxinic basins, is needed before Tl isotopes can be confidently utilized as a paleo-redox tracer.
