Development and multiplication of Eisinea andrei in the manure of cattle subjected to high Trichoderma doses

: The efficacy of the vermicomposting and products based on the antagonistic fungus and plant growth promoter trichoderma ( Trichoderma spp) is well known and studied in organic agriculture. However, for a better methodological efficiency are necessary studies to evaluate the effect of high doses of these bioproducts in the biology and development of earthworms. Thus, the present work aims to test the use of high commercial biocontrol product (ICB Nutrisolo Trichoderma) doses by evaluating the multiplication and development of Eisenia andrei . Changes in the chemical features of the substrate produced by the vermicomposting process using in natura and sterilized organic cattle manure were also assessed. Each experimental unit consisted of 6 kg of substrate (in multipurpose polypropylene box – 20 x 40 x 50 cm) containing 48 clitelate adult Eisenia andrei earthworms. ICB Nutrisolo Trichoderma was used as biological agent along with eight strains of the following species: T. koningiopsis, T. asperellum and T. harzianum . The following treatments were applied at doses of 10 11 CFU kg -1 of ICB Nutrisolo Trichoderma in the presence of earthworms: T1 (0.5); T2 (1.0); T3 (2.0); T4 (4.0); T5 (8.0) and T6 (0.0). The T7 treatment was herein used in order to evaluate the chemical features of the vermicompost. It was a completely randomized design with four replications per treatment. The temperature was kept at 28°C and humidity ranged between 60 and 70%. After 60 days, the number of young and adult earthworms, and cocoons was counted; then, their dry biomass was assessed. The results found in the lethality test showed decrease in the number of earthworms treated with 4.0x10 11 CFU kg -1 of ICB. The biological product doses up to 1.0x10 11 CFU kg -1 did not alter the number of adult earthworms and cocoons, or the multiplication index of E. andrei in cattle waste vermicomposts. There was no influence of the tested doses on earthworms’ individual development. However, doses above 2.0x10 11 CFU kg -1 decreased their total biomass. The C/N ratio for all treatments indicates maturity within acceptable results for organic compounds.
Films minces épitaxiés de chrome pour l'électronique de spin : propriétés de volume et d'interface

L'essor du domaine de l'electronique de spin a stimule l'etude des proprietes de films minces ferromagnetiques utilises pour la retention et la lecture de l'information magnetique. Les films minces antiferromagnetiques, bien que mis en exergue par la demonstration de l'effet GMR dans des super-reseaux Fe/Cr, n'ont qu'un role auxiliaire dans ces dispositifs. Des etudes theoriques recentes proposent neanmoins de leur conferer un role actif avec des proprietes distinctes et competitives, en remplacement des films ferromagnetiques. Contrairement aux couches ferromagnetiques, les films antiferromagnetiques ont ete l'objet de beaucoup moins de travaux experimentaux : l'ordre antiferromagnetique ne peut etre etudie que par quelques techniques specifiques, telles que la diffraction de neutrons. Au cours de cette these, nous avons examine un systeme modele pour l'electronique de spin, constitue d'une couche mince de chrome (001), archetype de materiau antiferromagnetique itinerant, et d'une couche d'oxyde de magnesium (001), barriere cristalline la plus largement utilisee. Nous avons montre qu'il etait possible de controler l'anisotropie magnetique et l'ordre magnetique de l'antiferromagnetique grâce a une maitrise fine des conditions de croissance et grâce au dopage par le Fe. Une etude detaillee par photoemission a permis d'approfondir les preuves du couplage du magnetisme et de la structure electronique du Cr, et en particulier de mettre en evidence des etats de surface et d'interface polarises. Ces resultats ont ete completes par la determination du moment ferromagnetique d'interface du Cr/MgO (001) par reflectivite de neutrons. Enfin, en tirant parti de ce socle de connaissance, nous avons pu comprendre et interpreter le magnetisme caracteristique d'heterostructures de Cr comportant une barriere cristalline fine de MgO, comme la signature d'un couplage tunnel intercouches

Some psychological issues of HIV/AIDS Patients: a core analysis of self-efficacy

This investigation of AIDS patients demonstrated that all the patients are sincerely upset and their self-ideal is powerless. Their day by day life modification is typical. All the patients are under treatment and they take a tablet of ARV at ART focuses. At present when that review was done, they will live more than two to five years. The last finish of that examination is that all patients’ self-efficacy was upset because of disease. They are progressively subject to other people. So, they generally need support, compassion, love, and care. According to the results score of self-efficacies plainly make seen that CD4 cells significant pretend in HIV people life. An ordinary CD4 check is from 500 to 1,400 cells for each cubic millimeter of blood. CD4 includes decline after some time in people who are not accepting ART. At levels underneath 200 cells for each cubic millimeter, patients become vulnerable to a wide assortment of OIs, a significant number of which can be lethal.
Determining the useability of photosensitizers as biocides in the soaking process

All photosensitizers kill the microorganisms in the environment by generating singlet oxygen with the energy they receive from sunlight. Oxygen has a toxic effect not only on anaerobic types, but also on the living beings that depend on oxygen to survive. This study aims to explore the neutralization or the restriction of the effects of the bacteria in the float during the soaking process by using the oxygen effect of chlorophyll, which is a photosensitizer that all green plants in nature contain in great amounts. For this purpose, the chlorophyll extracted from spinach leaves was used in the soaking process and its effect on the total aerobic mezophyll bacteria was determined in comparison with the effect of bactericides.
Sucessão de Associações de Foraminíferos Bentônicos como Indicadoras de Variações Paleoceanográficas no Terraço de Torres (RS - Brasil) Durante o Quaternário Tardio

Foraminiferos sao protistas sensiveis a mudancas ambientais e atuam como paleoindicadores de caracteristicas oceanograficas como temperatura, salinidade, fluxo de oxigenio, disponibilidade de nutrientes e gradiente de energia do meio. A identificacao da sucessao de biofacies de foraminiferos bentonicos constitui assim uma metodologia util na interpretacao de processos paleoceanograficos. Amostras provenientes de dois testemunhos coletados no talude da porcao norte da Bacia de Pelotas, posicionados em 1514 m e 2091 m de profundidade e com idades entre 112 e 7 ka foram analisadas quanto a densidade de testas, riqueza e abundância relativa das especies. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar como estes descritores responderam as grandes mudancas climaticas ocorridas ao longo dos cinco ultimos estagios isotopicos marinhos. Foram identificados um total de 55 taxa ao longo destes testemunhos, com dominância de generos com habito infaunal, tais como Globocassidulina, Bulimina, Bolivina e Uvigerina e a especie Trifarina angulosa, sugerindo o predominio de condicoes meso-eutroficas nesta area durante o periodo estudado. A analise de similaridade na abundância das especies entre as amostras, segundo indice de Bray Curtis, levou ao reconhecimento de tres associacoes ecologicas (compostas por um total de 14 familias). Estas permitiram individualizar quatro zonas ecologicas distintas ao longo dos dois testemunhos, cuja sucessao temporal esta sendo interpretada como resposta a influencia de diferentes massas d´agua e a variacoes no aporte de carbono para o compartimento bentonico entre periodos mais quentes e mais frios.

Assessing the role of reactive metal species in soil organic matter cycling using chemical imaging

approved: ______________________________________________________ Markus Kleber Intimate associations with reactive metal species permanently protect soil organic matter (SOM) from microbial access and oxidation, contributing to the build-up of organic carbon (C) stocks in soils. It is increasingly recognized, however, that such associations can be reversible and that reactive metal species might even facilitate the oxidation of SOM. Both processes would increase the potential for soil C loss, prompting questions regarding the environmental conditions under which interactions of SOM with reactive mineral phases are protective, reversible or even facilitate oxidation. One of the foremost challenges in characterizing these interactions is the need to describe the dynamics of both SOM and metals at fine spatial scales without disturbing existing chemical or physical associations. This thesis thus addresses the general question whether non-invasive chemical imaging techniques can be used to distinguish protective interactions between SOM and reactive metal species from those that are susceptible to or facilitate C loss. The following research aimed to identify the nature of the interactions between SOM and two abundant redox-active metals (iron and manganese) in three soil microenvironments: fungal mats, the rhizosphere and the litter layer. The first of the three chapters describes the rapid formation of protective associations between fungal-derived SOM and iron (hydr)oxide precipitates in ectomycorrhizal mats. The second chapter demonstrates how root exudates can reverse such protective associations between SOM and reactive Fe phases, promoting microbial access to SOM and causing C loss in the rhizosphere. The third chapter establishes the functional role of reactive manganese species in the microbial oxidation of aromatic compounds in forest litter decomposition. Combined, this work not only demonstrates the ability of imaging and spectroscopy techniques to probe the nature of interactions between SOM and reactive minerals in soils. It also highlights the need to extend current conceptual models to reversible and oxidative interactions between reactive minerals and SOM and their implications for SOM cycling. ©Copyright by Marco Keiluweit October 25, 2013 All Rights Reserved Assessing the Role of Reactive Metal Species in Soil Organic Matter Cycling using Chemical Imaging
E74 like ETS transcription factor 3 (ELF3) is a negative regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in bladder carcinoma

Transcription factors are known to be commonly deregulated in various cancers. The E74 like ETS transcription factor 3 (ELF3) expression is restricted to epithelial tissue. In the present study, we evaluated the role of ELF3 in the pathogenesis of bladder carcinoma (BCa) using cell line model. The cell lines with low expression of ELF3 showed increased expression of mesenchymal markers and decreased expression of epithelial markers. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical analysis of ELF3 showed selective expression in low-grade BCa cell lines and tumor tissues, respectively. We demonstrated that overexpression of ELF3 in UMUC3, a mesenchymal BCa cell line resulted in reduced invasion and decreased expression of mesenchymal markers. Furthermore, using publicly available data, we found that low expression of ELF3 was associated with increased risk and poor overall survival rate in BCa. In conclusion, ELF3-modulated reversal of EMT might be a useful strategy in the treatment of bladder cancer.
Influence of Moisture Content on Chloride Diffusion in Concrete

Chloride penetration into the cover of reinforced concrete is often at the origin of early damage due to corrosion of the steel reinforcement. The penetration rate of chloride, however, depends strongly of the water content. If diffusion coefficients as measured on saturated concrete are used for the prediction of service life by means of Fick's second law, chloride penetration may be overestimated. The mobility of chloride in concrete in hygral equilibrium with different relative humidity of the surrounding air was determined experimentally. Chloride mobility in concrete, which is in equilibrium with 50 % RH, is very low. This has to be taken into consideration in realistic service life prediction. (A)

Development and Yield of Irrigated Sugarcane as Affected by Nitrogen Sources and Rate in Brazilian Cerrado Oxisol

Sugarcane is the most promising crop among renewable biofuels producers and one of the countries that produces the most green matter per unit area, whose greater limitations to productivity are mainly related to the adequate availability of water and mineral nutrients, in particular nitrogen (N). Based on the hypothesis that the source and the availability of nitrogen influence the growth, development and yield of irrigated sugarcane in the cerrado region. The objective of this study was evaluate the biometric variables and yield of irrigated sugarcane, in the cane-plant cycle, as affected by source and nitrogen rate. The soil utilized was an Oxisol (Rhodic Hapludox), cerrado (savannah) phase. The experiment was carried out at Farm of the Raízen Mill, located in the municipality of Jataí, Goias State, Brazil. The variety IACSP95-5000 was used in a randomized block design, analyzed in a split-split-plot scheme, with three replicates. The treatments were four N rates (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha-1); two fertilizer sources (urea and ammonium nitrate). The factors evaluated were in the plots of four doses of N (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha-1). In the subplot two sources of N (urea and ammonium nitrate) and as sub-subplot were represented by four evaluation periods (210, 250, 290 and 330 days after the planting-DAP). The irrigation was by sprinkling, in a central pivot. The evaluated variables were: plant height, stalk diameter, total number of leaf, leaf area, number of industrializable tillers, stalk yield, pointer yield and total recoverable sugars. The highest stalk yield, pointer yield and total recoverable sugars occurred at the average dose of 143.61 kg ha-1 of N, with an average increase of 25.87%.
Analysis of Market Participation Behavior Among Smallholder Dairy Farmers in Uganda

Market participation of smallholder farming has gained priority in the policy agenda of many developing countries as an engine for economic growth. In Uganda, smallholder dairy farming has been adopted as a strategy for the country’s economic transformation through commercialization but efforts to improve dairy market sales have not been successful. Without appropriate interventions, Uganda may fail to take advantage of the anticipated increase in demand for livestock products. A study to analyze determinants of dairy farmers’ market participation and percentage of milk sales was therefore undertaken in Uganda’s three main milk producing regions. Multistage sampling and purposive sampling procedures were used to select a study sample of 171 representative dairy farming households, with at least one milking cow based on data derived from the REPEAT Survey of 2012. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and Heckman two-stage selection econometric model. Results show that milk market entry decision was significantly influenced by improved lactating cows (1%), number of lactating cows (1%), milk yield (1%), information access (5%), access to veterinary services (5%) and children less than 6 years (10%). Percentage of milk sales was influenced by information access (1%), number of lactating cows (5%), improved milking breeds (5%) and quantity of milk consumed. Three variables critical to policy intervention in enhancing smallholder dairy farmer participation and intensification are number of lactating cows, improved lactating cows and information access. Quantity of milk consumed suggests supplementation of milk with other protein foods among dairy farmers in Uganda.

Axisymmetric deformation in transversely isotropic thermoelastic medium using new modified couple stress theory

The present study is concerned with the thermoelastic interactions in a two dimensional axisymmetric problem in transversely isotropic thermoelastic solid using new modified couple stress theory without energy dissipation and with two temperatures. The Laplace and Hankel transforms have been employed to find the general solution to the field equations. Concentrated normal force, normal force over the circular region, concentrated thermal source and thermal source over the circular region have been taken to illustrate the application of the approach. The components of displacements, stress, couple stress and conductive temperature distribution are obtained in the transformed domain. The resulting quantities are obtained in the physical domain by using numerical inversion technique. The effect of two temperature varying by taking different values for the two temperature on the components of normal stress, tangential stress, conductive temperature and couple stress are depicted graphically.
