Crescimento e marcha de absorção de nutrientes em tomateiro cultivar Raísa cultivado em sistema hidropônico

The production and quality of tomatoes has increased with the emergence of new genotypes and cropping systems such as hydroponics, however, there are few studies on the nutrition of plants. The objective was to evaluate the growth and motion of absorption of nutrients by Raisa tomato cultivar, grown in hydroponic system. The experimental design was randomized blocks with eight treatments consisting of the times of sampling: 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75 and 85 days after transplanting (DAT) and five replications. The tomato seedlings were transplanted to pots of 8 dm(3) (on 31-03-2008), filled with the base substrate of coconut fiber, constantly irrigated with Hoagland and Arnon nutrient solution. During the experimental period and focuses on the development of plants and dry leaves, stems, fruits and roots. The dry matter accumulation of leaves and roots of tomato cultivar Raisa was relatively faster than the national stem and fruit, over cultivation, with predominance of dry fruits (45%) on the leaves (27%), the stem (24%) and roots (3%) at the end of the cycle. The accumulation of nutrients and micronutrients by the tomato cultivar Raisa was fit with linear increase throughout the cultivation, except for Mn which was quadratic. Most of the tomato nutritional requirement for nutrients was K, N and Ca and micronutrients was Fe, Zn and Mn.

Geologia e geomorfologia dos recifes de Maracajaú-RN e plataforma rasa adjacente

This work focuses the geological and geomorphological characterization of the inner shelf in the West Coast of the Rio Grande do Norte state, particularly the reef coral barrier offshore of Maracajaú (Maxaranguape district). If developed without the necessary concerns, tourism and entertainment activities that have been widely increased during the last five years can lead to irreversible environmental damages to the biotic and abiotic ecosystems of the region. Regarding these aspects, it is crucial the realization of a detailed study to envisage the achievement of a self-sustainable development, especially with respect to the possibilities of a rational usage of the region. This is the aim of this manuscript, which consisted of an initial stage of digital modeling of the terrain with basis on digitalization and vectorization of the Nautical map number 803 (Naval Service of Brazil, 1971). Information obtained in this phase was improved with the digital processing of small format aerial photos acquired from six flights, which were integrated to form a photomosaic of the area. The refined maps produced with the data from Nautical and aerial photo-interpretations aided to locate 9 bathymetric profiles, which provided information about the sea floor relief of the whole area. This later aided in the choosing of areas to bottom sampling that, in its turn, helped to characterize sediments present in floor of the inner shelf. Sixty-four samples collected during this work were studied by granulometrical and chemical analysis; with the later one developed in order to measure carbonate and organic matter contents. Forty-two of these samples showed carbonate content higher than 80% and organic matter in the range of 0.58% to 24.06%. With respect to grain size, these samples are in the interval between fine- to mid-grained sands. Sands with grain sizes higher than this one are also composed by carbonate carapaces such as pale yellow to red rhodolites with ellipsoidal and spheroidal shapes. During determination of the submerse features, the small format aerial photos demonstrated to be a useful methodology to aid the delineation of the sea floor topography through shallow deep waters. The bathymetry, for its turn, revealed several features at the bottom of the platform, in which the most conspicuous are undulations and morphological details of the São Roque Channel. Examination of bottom, aside from sand, yielded the identification of bivalves, ostracods, fragments of bryozoans, spikes of sponges, spines of echinoderms, operculum of gastropods and foraminifers. From the above it is concluded that the multi-methodological approach developed in this study worked efficiently, permitting the geomorphological and environmental characterization of the inner shelf of the North Maracajaú

Caracterização Morfodinâmica e Sedimentologia da Plataforma Continental Rasa na APA Estadual dos Recifes de Corais - RN

This study had to aimed to characterize the sediments of shallow continental shelf and realize the mapping of features visible for satellite images by using remote sensing techniques, digital image processing and analysis of bathymetry between Maxaranguape and Touros - RN. The study s area is located in the continental shallow shelf of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, and is part of the Environmental Protection Area (APA) of Coral Reefs. A total of 1186 sediment samples were collected using a dredge type van veen and positioning of the vessel was made out with the aid of a Garmin 520s. The samples were treated In the laboratory to analyze particle size of the sediment, concentration of calcium carbonate and biogenic composition. The digital images from the Landsat-5 TM were used to mapping of features. This stage was used the band 1 (0,45-1,52 μm) where the image were georeferenced, and then adjusting the histogram, giving a better view of feature bottom and contacts between different types of bottom. The results obtained from analysis of the sediment showed that the sediments of the continental shelf east of RN have a dominance of carbonate facies and a sand-gravelly bottom because the region is dominated by biogenic sediments, that are made mainly of calcareous algae. The bedform types identified and morphological features found were validated by bathymetric data and sediment samples examined. From the results obtained a division for the shelf under study is suggested, these regions being subdivided, in well characterized: (1) Turbid Zone, (2) Coral Patch Reefs Zone, (3) Mixed Sediments Carbonates Zone, ( 4) Algae Fouling Zone, (5) Alignment Rocky Zone, (6) Sand Waves Field (7) Deposit siliciclastic sands

Caracterização geomorfológica e modelagem de dados espaciais na plataforma continental rasa do RN nos limites da folha Touros

This work focuses the geomorphological characterization and spatial data modeling in the shallow continental shelf within the Folha Touros limits (SB-25-CV-II), based on bathymetric data analysis and remote sensing products interpretation. The Rio Grande do Norte state is located in northeastern Brazil and the work area is located at the transition region between the eastern and northern portions of their coast. The bathymetric surveys were conduced between march and may 2009, using a 10 meters long vessel and 0.70 meters draught, equipped with global positioning system and echo sounder (dual beam, 200KHz , 14°). The fieldwork resulted in 44 bathymetric profiles espaced 1.5 km and 30 km average length. The bathymetric data amount were 111,200 points and were navigated 1395.7 km within na area about 1,850 km2. The bathymetric data were corrected for the tide level, vessel draught and were subsequently entered into a geographic information system for further processing. Analysis of remote sensing products was carried out using Landsat 7/ETM + band 1, from november 1999. The image was used for visualization and mapping submerged features. The results showed the presence of geomorphological features within the study area. Were observed, from the analysis of local bathymetry and satellite image, seven types of geomorphological features. The channels, with two longitudinals channels (e. g. San Roque and Cioba channels) and other perpendicular to the coast (e. g. Touros, Pititinga and Barretas). Coastal reef formations (Maracajaú, Rio do Fogo and Cioba). Longitudinal waves, described in the literature as longitudinal dunes. The occurrence of a transverse dune field. Another feature observed was the oceanic reefs, an rock alignment parallel to the coast. Were identified four riscas , from north to south: risca do Liso, Gameleira, Zumbi, Pititinga (the latter being described for the first time). Finally, an oceanic terrace was observed in the deepest area of study. Image interpretation corroborated with the in situ results, enabling visualization and description for all features in the region. The results were analysed in an integrating method (using the diferent methodologies applied in this work) and it was essential to describe all features in the area. This method allowed us to evaluate which methods generated better results to describe certain features. From these results was possible to prove the existence of submerged features in the eastern shallow continental shelf of Rio Grande do Norte. In this way, the conclusions was (1) this study contributed to the provision of new information about the area in question, particularly with regard to data collection in situ depths, (2) the method of data collection and interpretation proves to be effective because, through this, it was possible to visualize and interpret the features present in the study area and (3) the interpretation and discussion of results in an integrated method, using different methodologies, can provide better results

Obtencao e interpretacao de dados de Reflexao Sismica Superficial (Rasa) - exemplos e aplicacoes

Successful application of shallow seismic reflection method is related directly to the ability of the ground to transmit high-frequency seismic energy from a seismic source. The dominant frequencies of reflection data are in the range of 50 to 100 Hz and depend on the surface materials and water table. A spread of geophones send the siemsic signal to be recorded on a 12, 24 or 48 channel portable seismograph, using a single high-frequency geophone per channel. Although it is possible to find seismographs with display and processing unities, it is also possible to transfer digitalized data to a personal computer to be processed and interpreted by using specific programs. Some results of two recent field studies to specify the underground structure in the tidal flats area of Baie St. Paul (Quebec-Canada) and in glacial terrains, in the Waterloo (Ontario-Canada) region. -from English summary

Geotermia rasa em Belém

Um estudo detalhado de geotermia rasa foi realizado no intervalo de profundidade de 0,02 a 210,0 m, na região metropolitana de Belém. As medidas de temperatura foram efetuadas com o uso de termômetros de mercúrio e termistor, enquanto as medidas de condutividade térmica foram feitas em testemunhos de sondagem, utilizando-se o aparato tipo agulha. O fluxo de radiação solar incidente foi registrado com um actinógrafo do tipo Robitzech. O gradiente geotérmico médio obtido na região metropolitana de Belém foi de 0,0254 ± 0,0007 °C.m^-1. O valor médio de condutividade térmica dos testemunhos de sondagem coletados nesta região foi de 1,66 ± 0,52 W.m^-1.°C^-1. Por sua vez, o fluxo geotermal médio na região estudada é de 42,16 ± 1,14 mW.m^-2. A 1,0 m de profundidade ocorrem mudanças temporais nos valores de temperatura, as quais não podem ser consideradas como desprezíveis. Estas, mudanças estão diretamente relacionadas com as variações do fluxo de radiação solar incidente na superfície. O maior incremento deste fluxo, observado de um dia para o outro, foi de cerca de 30 W.m^-2, o que correspondeu a um aumento de temperatura a 1,0 m de profundidade da ordem de 0,22° C. Os perfis de temperatura obtidos durante este trabalho apresentaram deriva em sentidos alternados, durante o ciclo de período de um ano. Os perfis geotérmicos rasos são caracterizados por uma zona de fluxo de calor nulo, denominada "cotovelo", a partir da qual os valores de temperatura crescem com o aumento da profundidade. A profundidade do cotovelo é fundamentalmente influenciada pelo fluxo de calor gerado pela radiação solar incidente na superfície da área em estudo. Elaborou-se um modelo de evolução temporal o qual representa a estrutura térmica e suas variações, da zona compreendida de 0,02 a 10,0 m de profundidade. Os resultados oriundos deste modelo de transferência de calor por condução foram comparados com os obtidos em trabalhos de campo. Observa-se uma boa concordância entre esses resultados. Porém, o ajuste numérico é mais evidente para o período de setembro a fevereiro. Este modelamento poderá ser utilizado também para previsões de deriva dos perfis geotérmicos, desde que sejam conhecidos, a priori, os valores correspondentes às temperaturas médias mensais na superfície, o gradiente geotérmico regional e um dado perfil geotérmico. Este trabalho comprova que o fluxo de radiação solar incidente na superfície é a principal fonte de influência sobre os perfis geotérmicos rasos. A profundidade máxima dessa influência depende principalmente da magnitude desse fluxo, do grau de proteção superficial à incidência direta da radiação e da litologia do local em estudo.

Estudo geofísico para a caracterização geológica e hidrogeológica da subsuperfície rasa em área de deposição de rejeitos sólidos no município de Barcarena-PA

Este estudo foi realizado na Área de Depósito de Rejeitos Sólidos (ADRS) da ALBRAS (Alumínio Brasileiro S.A.), localizada no município de Barcarena, Estado do Pará. Os resultados alcançados permitiram estabelecer um padrão de caracterização da subsuperfície, a partir de medidas geofísicas, fornecendo informações sobre as camadas geológicas e sobre parâmetros hidrogeológicos, tais como direção e velocidade do fluxo subterrâneo. Na realização do trabalho foram utilizados três métodos geofísicos: os métodos elétricos (Potencial Espontâneo e Eletrorresitividade) e eletromagnético (Slingram). A distribuição dos potenciais medidos através do Método do Potencial Espontâneo indicaram o sentido do fluxo subterrâneo local. Durante o estudo, foi montado um experimento de infiltração de solução salina no solo e seu efeito foi monitorado através de imageamento elétrico. Esse experimento permitiu que se estimasse a velocidade e o sentido do fluxo subterrâneo local ao longo da linha de imageamento. Os modelos interpretativos obtidos através da inversão de dados de resistividade aparente obtidos em sondagens elétricas verticais apresentaram uma boa correlação com perfis de raios gama corridos em poços tubulares da área de estudo. Estas Sondagens Elétricas Verticais permitiram que se detalhasse as unidades litológicas rasas através da estimativa de seus valores de resistividade e espessura. A interpretação dos dados eletromagnéticos através da análise de perfis de medidas, sondagens eletromagnéticas e mapas de contornos permitiu identificar a presença de zonas mais condutivas (material argiloso) e zonas mais resistivas (material arenoso). Além disso, observou-se que o mapa de contornos para a freqüência de 14080 Hz apresentou uma boa correlação com o mapa de contornos do Potencial Espontâneo referente a mesma área.

Tabula rasa

English philosopher John Locke proposed that the mind of the newborn infant is a tabula rasa, or blank slate, on which experience writes. Locke was an empiricist. Development, in the empiricist view, is the product of an active environment operating on a passive mind. One alternative to empiricism is nativism. Nativists propose that the human genetic heritage includes knowledge accumulated over the course of evolution. Thus the mind of the newborn, far from being a blank slate, represents the knowledge of generations. Development, in the nativist view, is a maturational process directed by the genes. It is genes, not environments, that account for developmental change.

Face recognition from a tabula rasa perspective

[EN]In this paper a system for face recognition from a tabula rasa (i.e. blank slate) perspective is described. A priori, the system has the only ability to detect automatically faces and represent them in a space of reduced dimension. Later, the system is exposed to over 400 different identities, observing its recognition performance evolution. The preliminary results achieved indicate on the one side that the system is able to reject most of unknown individuals after an initialization stage.
