A existência de um Efeito Electroreológico (ER) constata-se quando se verifica uma variação acentuada das propriedades reológicas induzidas pelas presença de um campo electrico numa amostra. Este fenómeno é tipico mas não exclusivamente observado em suspensões de particulas polarizáveis. Neste trabalho levou-se a cabo o estudo do efeito electroreológico de uma suspensão, em óleo de silicone, de nanofibras de polianilina (PANI) dopadas com ácido canforsulfónico (CSA). Foram preparadas soluções poliméricas com diferentes concentrações de nanofibras (1 e 2 % p/p) em dois óleos de silicone de diferentes viscosidades, 20 e 50 cSt. O estudo das propriedades electroreológicas foi efectuado tanto em regime estacionário, com a taxa de corte a variar entre 0.01 e 1000 s-1, como em regime oscilatório, com a frequência angular a variar entre 0.1 e 20 Hz, ambos na presença de campos eléctricos com intensidades até 2kV.mm-1 e à temperatura ambiente. As suspensões de nanofibras de polianilina dopadas com ácido canforsulfónico dispersas em óleo de silicone apresentam um efeito electroreológico intenso, visivel através de um aumento superior a 2 décadas no valor da viscosidade para baixas taxas de corte e valores elevados de campo eléctrico, demonstrando assim a sua potencialidade como material inteligente .

Neste trabalho são apresentados resultados do estudo da dinâmica da floresta em um sistema de manejo florestal voltado para a pequena propriedade. O sistema prescreve ciclo de corte de 10 anos e taxa de corte de 10 m³.ha-1 e tração animal para o arraste. O crescimento da floresta de 1 m³.ha-1.ano-1 foi compatível com o ciclo e taxa de corte adotados. Os danos causados pela exploração representaram 5 % da área basal total, e a taxa de mortalidade quatro anos após a exploração foi 3,2 %.

Recoleta uterina como estratégia para aumentar a taxa de embriões em fêmeas bovinas de corte e leite
Resumo:
Embryo recovery rate in superovulated cows after uterine flushing is lower than the ovulation rate, which contributes to the relative inefficiency of the conventional cervical recovery procedure. A simple and easy alternative to improve embryo recovery rate is the uterine re-flushing procedure. To evaluate the effect of re-flushing and the influence of breed and operator on bovine embryo recovery rate, 38 Nelore and 19 Jersey females were stimulated using FSH, with embryos being collected by one of two trained operators. At the end of flushing, the catheter was sealed and maintained into the uterine body, filled with flushing medium, while females were released to a paddock for 30 to 50 min, to be submitted to the re-flushing procedure by the same operator. A total of 599 structures were recovered out of 57 procedures, from which 423 (70.6%) were obtained in the first flushing and 176 (29.4%) after re-flushing. Mean recovery rates of 7.4 and 3.1 structures were obtained after the first and second flushing, respectively, for a total of 10.5 structures per cow. Structures were obtained in 73.6% ( 42 out of 57) of the re-flushing procedures. No breed effect was observed on total ova or embryo recovery, with 10.9 total ova collected from Jersey and 10.3 from Nelore females. Likewise, the embryo recovery rate obtained following uterine flushing or re-flushing did not differ either between Jersey (8.1 and 2.7) and Nelore (7.0 and 3.2) animals, or between operators A (7.5 and 3.3) and B (7.3 and 2.9), respectively. In conclusion, the uterine re-flushing procedure significantly increased the rate of embryo recovery in Jersey and Nelore females, with no operator influence being observed.

Três rações, com nível alto, médio e baixo de energia - tratamento T1 , T2 T3 - foram ministradas em confinamento, à vontade, a bovinos recém-desmamados, machos inteiros, castrados e fêmeas, durante dois períodos de 17 semanas. Os machos inteiros exibiram a maior habilidade de ganho de peso, e as novilhas a menor habilidade. O tratamento T1 proporcionou os melhores ganhos e conversões, e o T2 os inferiores. Verificou-se pequena superioridade no teor protéico de T3, ao que se atribuiu sua vantagem sobre T2 no 1º período, e aparente crescimento compensatório no 2º período. O teor de uréia foi superior nos machos inteiros, e semelhante nos outros animais, superior em T3 e semelhante em T1 e T2, bem como aumentou consistentemente durante o experimento. Aparentemente a uréia refletiu o fornecimento adequado de proteína e, mais ainda, de energia. O teor de proteína-iodada não mostrou diferença significativa, mas apenas tendência de se elevar com o decorrer do tempo. Não houve correlação entre os dois componentes do sangue. Concluiu-se que a eficiência de utilização alimentar foi: superior nos machos inteiros, proporcional à quantidade de energia ingerida (no caso do 1º período); favorecida pelo teor maior de proteína de T3 em relação a T2 no 19 período, e talvez por ganho compensatório no 2º período; refletida pelos níveis de uréia no plasma, mas não correlacionado com proteína- iodada.

This study aimed to compare conception rates at the postpartum period (PPP) in beef cows which were administered either Equine Chorionic Gonadotrophin (eCG) or Estradiol Benzoate (EB) after Norgestomet and submitted to fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI). The hypothesis was that the administration of eCG or EB enhances the conception rate. Lactating Nelore cows (n=138) and Brangus (n = 63), between 26 and 118 days of post partum period (PPP) were divided into three homogeneous groups, and subdivided in two blocks, inside each group one of them with a PPP d'' 45 days (PPP1; n=107) and another with a PPP > 45 days (PPP2; n=94). All cows received an auricular implant containing 3mg Norgestomet (Crestar®), followed by the administration of 5mg Estradiol Valerate. The auricular implants were kept during 10 days. Cows received 1mL saline solution (n=68, Control Group) or 500IU eCG (Folligon®; n=67; eCG Group) or 1mg Estradiol Benzoate (Index, n=66; EB Group) 24 hours after the removal of the implant. FTAI was made 54 hours after the implant removal. The pregnancy diagnosis was carried through ultrasonography 30 days after FTAI. There was an interaction between treatments and PPP. In the PPP1, the conception rate was higher in the eCG Group than in the EB Group (47.22% vs. 15.38%; Pd''0.01). In the PPP2, the conception rates of the eCG and EB Groups were higher than in the Control Group (41.93%, 44.44% vs. 22.22%: Pd''0.01). It was concluded that in cows up to 45 days of PPP, the eCG associated with Norgestomet enhances the conception rates.

This work aimed to evaluate the pregnancy rate and follicular diameter using EB or GnRH on the insertion of progesterone implant (D0) in lactating beef cows. Two groups were tested in two experiments. In Exp. 1 were used 61 Nelore cows divided into two groups: G-BE (n = 32) and G-GnRH (n = 29), on D0 was inserted P4 implant (CIDR ) and applied 2 mL of BE (G-BE) or 2.5 mL GnRH (G-GnRH). In D9 was performed ultrasonography (U.S.) to measure the diameter of the dominant follicle (DF) present in the ovary and the implant was removed, with concomitant administration of 2.5 mL of PGF2a and estradiol cypionate (ECP ) followed by calves removal. After 48 hours all the cows were inseminated and the calves returned. In Exp. 2 50 cows were used following the same protocol described above, but the pregnancy was assessed without performing ovarian US. There was no difference (p>0.05) in pregnancy rate between treatments, BE (55%) or GnRH (41%), but the follicular diameter was significantly higher (p<0.05) in pregnant cows treated with EB (10.7 mm vs. 8.5 mm) and in cows treated with GnRH there was no difference (p>0.05) between pregnant and no pregnant cows (11.6 mm vs. 10.2 mm). We concluded the use of GnRH on D0 did not improve the pregnancy rate in lactating beef cows and follicular diameter was greater (p <0.05) in pregnant cows compared to non-pregnant only in G-BE.

This work aimed to evaluate the influence of postpartum period (precocious - of 28 to 44 days and late - of 45 to 90 days) on the bovine pregnancy rate using fixed-time AI. For that, 678 cows were divided in two groups: precocious group (G-P, n=151) and late group (G-T, n=527). The animals received CIDR® + 2 mL of estradiol benzoate (BE) in the day zero (D0). After eight days (D8) the dispositive was removed and both groups received 2.5mL PGF2α, concurrent with PGF2α injection, they received either 1.5mL of eCG or temporary calf removal (RTB). In the next day (D9), the cows received 1 mL de BE and 24 hours later, the fixed-time AI was performed with Nelore bovine semen. The calves were returned to their mothers. The pregnancy rate was not different between the groups (p>0.05), G-P=40% and G-T=48%. The results indicate that females with less than 45 days of postpartum are able to hormone protocol of fixed-time IA.
