Onze: a rizomática narrativa de Bernardo Carvalho
Authors: Souza Luciane Bernardi , Vianna Vera Lucia Lenz
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo tem como objetivo estabelecer o diálogo entre o romance “Onze” (2011) do autor Bernardo Carvalho e a Teoria do Rizoma, dos teóricos Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, esta última pensada a partir de uma leitura social. Interpretando este romance e compreendendo a sua estrutura discursiva, propomos uma analogia entre esta obra literária e as estruturas sociais externas apontadas pela teoria deleuze-guatariana, de modo a compreender “Onze” como uma narrativa-rizomática.
Os leitores brasileiros na era pulp: o advento das revistas de emoção
Authors: Da Silva Rhuan Felipe Scomação , Pavloski Evanir
Published: July 2017

O presente artigo procura articular a relação de leitura no cenário literário brasileiro do início do século XX com as famosas revistas Pulp, aqui conhecidas como revistas de emoção. Trabalhando com um nicho de mercado durante as últimas décadas, revistas como Weird Tales, Tales From the Crypt e Mysterie Magazine formaram uma considerável legião de leitores enquanto estavam em publicação. Apesar de hoje estarem focadas a um pequeno círculo de fãs, tais revistas foram um importante caminho para muitos leitores criarem seus horizontes de leitura e ambiente de escrita, considerando que alguns se tornaram reconhecidos escritores de ficção científica e fantasia, como Eduardo Spohr e André Vianco. As referências permanecem no imaginário do leitor e os efeitos são eminentes em nossa cultura. Trabalhar com a trajetória da cultura Pulp no Brasil se mostra como um exercício de percepção da construção do universo de leitura de uma considerável parcela de leitores brasileiros, além de uma importante análise desse impacto na cultura de leitura dos mesmos.
Effect of Type of Cement and Expansive Agent on the Hardening of Steam-Cured Concrete
Authors: Maruyama Takayoshi , Karasawa Hideaki , Date Shigeyuki
Published: July 2017

Pre-cast concrete products are sometimes manufactured in two cycles daily. It is ensured that they have the required strength at an early stage of demolding by increasing the steam curing temperature to reduce cost or increase productivity. However, the reduction in durability because of cracking due to thermal stress is a topic of concern. On the other hand, it has been known that fine blast-furnace-slag powder and expansive agents show high temperature dependence. Although they are used even in precast concrete products, the effect of steam curing on these materials is not known. Thus, in this study, the expression of compressive strength and expansion that are critical in improving the quality and productivity of precast concrete products was investigated, using high early-strength cement and two types of expansive agents, namely, ettringite-based and lime-based agents. Consequently, the strength expression was accelerated by the addition of expansive agent to ordinary cement and high early-strength cement. The extent of restrained expansion is greater for the lime-based expansive agent than for the ettringite-based expansive agent, and when an expansive agent is added to high early-strength cement, the extent of restrained expansion falls to a level lower than that in the case of ordinary cement.

Authors: Zhang Long Yun , Yang Shang Yang
Published: July 2017

The analog material, used in the Geo-mechanical model test that is designed to study the unloading rheological behavior and failure characteristics of rock mass, must reflect the physico-mechanical behaviors of the actual rock mass. The surrounding rock of Meng-di-gou hydropower station is in complex geological conditions. With the excavation of the rock mass, the surrounding rock gradually unloading, and the property of the near rock mass. It is necessary to carry out Geo-mechanical model test to study the rheological properties of deep rock mass under complicated geological conditions. So the similar material, comprised of iron powder, barite powder, and quartz sands bound with a solution of alcohol and colophonium, is suggested to be improvable. Firstly, through more than 300 groups of mix proportion tests, the influence of different mix proportions of the ingredients are analyzed to obtain the optimal analog materials; Secondly, more than 1200 specimens are made into size Φ50mm×100mm; Lastly, physico-mechanical tests were conducted by using the specimens to test the mechanical property of the similar material, and the basic physico-mechanical parameters are obtained from the analog material. The results indicates that the property of the similar material matches well with that of the rock mass in site, so the similar material is suitable for the Geo-mechanical model test, and it can be used to test the unloading rheological behavior of rock mass of Meng-di-gou hydropower station.
Concrete as a Sustainable Construction Material
Authors: Benghida Djamil
Published: July 2017

Sustainable concrete is nowadays one of the biggest challenges in the construction industry. Performance-based specifications for concrete can materially help meet this new challenge while supporting the concept of “sustainable construction”. Concrete can be found in almost every building structure, be it a pavement, a bridge, a house, a tunnel or a dam. Scholars nowadays are researching the best balanced mix in concrete in order to diminish its environmental impact, especially the cement component which is known for its high carbon emissions. This paper describes concrete durability and outlines what project specifications will significantly influence concrete performance, including its environmental impacts. The paper argues that, despite the sustainability of concrete, concerted efforts on the part of scientists and engineers are still necessary to improve the design of concrete in order to ensure their expected sustainable quality and reliability.

Published: July 2017

In case of underground construction affected by groundwater, CIP (Cast-In-Place Pile) method is generally used to solve the geo-hydraulic problem. However, as this method has poor connectivity between piles, an auxiliary method for cut-off is required in many cases. In this study, a newly-developed cut-off wall (H-CIP) with no auxiliary method, by using surfactant grout (Hi-FA), which improves anti-washout and infiltration ability, is introduced, and the field applicability of H-CIP method is evaluated. CIP and H-CIP piles were installed with same ground conditions, and field and laboratory tests were conducted to verify the performance, respectively. As results, newly-contrived H-CIP method shows higher field performance for cut-off and strength than conventional CIP method.
Evaluation on the Mechanical and Corrosion Resistance of ALDC 12 Al Alloy by Three Types of Heat Treatments
Authors: Moon Kyung Man , Lee Sung Yul , Jeong Jae Hyun , Lee Myeong Hoon
Published: July 2017

Al is a active metal. However, it has a generally fine oxide film with thin and protective barrier, which is stable in air and neutral aqueous solution. Thus, Al alloys have been widely used in architectural trim, cold & hot-water storage vessels and piping. However, Al and most of their alloys may be easy to be corroded with various patterns of corrosion such as pitting, intergranular and galvanic corrosion etc. in the case of exposure to various industrial and marine corrosive environments. Therefore, an optimum evaluation of corrosion resistance for Al and Al alloys may be more important in a economical point of view. In this study, characteristics evaluation for ALDC 12 Al alloy by solution, normalizing, and aging (natural and artificial) heat treatments was carried out using electrochemical methods etc.. We can see that the hardness of ALDC 12 Al alloy were decreased by solution and aging heat treatments, in particular, the solution and natural aging (SNA) heat treatments indicated the lowest value of hardness. However, the lower hardness by heat treatment, the better corrosion resistance, for instance, the solution and natural aging (SNA) heat treatment exhibited the best corrosion resistance with showing the lowest hardness. Furthermore, the highest hardness was observed after normalizing and artificial aging (NAA) heat treatments. Therefore, it is considered that if improvement of the hardness as well as the corrosion resistance were to be required together, the normalizing and artificial aging (NAA) heat treatment should be performed. On the other hand, the solution and natural aging (SNA) heat treatment is thought to be an optimum heat treatment method for only corrosion resistance improvement.

Authors: Ustinov Anton , Pitukhin Eugene , Pitukhin Alexander
Published: July 2017

The properties of “water glass – graphite microparticles” composite material (CM) have been researched and qualitative and quantitative phase analysis of the CM structure has been done. Experimental samples of the CM with filler particles (graphite) and a few micrometers in size have been studied with X–ray diffraction and electron microscopy. Fire–resistance test of the composition has been conducted. Fire–resistance limit for the test samples of composite material is determined by the loss of its insulating ability (I). Fire–resistance limit I15 equal to 15 minutes has been obtained in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents. It is shown that the research material is characterized by thermal stability and maintains its composition and structure under high temperature exposure. Composite material with the obtained characteristics can be used as protective coatings for building structures to increase fire resistance and reduce fire hazard.

Authors: Srichan Sansanee , Prasertsri Sarawut
Published: July 2017

This research investigated the effect of accelerator/sulfur (ACC/S) ratio on mechanical properties and thermal resistance of natural rubber composites containing hybrid fillers. Two hybrid systems of 10/60 carbon black/calcium carbonate (CB/CC) and silica/calcium carbonate (SC/CC) in NR composites were focused and the different ACC/S ratios were 0.40, 0.56, 0.64 and 0.88. The results indicated that the crosslink density, hardness and tear strength of NR vulcanizates increased with increasing ACC/S ratio, whereas compression set decreased. However, tensile strength increased with increasing ACC/S ratio up to 0.64 and then it decreased when the ACC/S ratio is further increased. In addition, the vulcanizates with high ACC/S ratio, which mainly contained monosulfidic and disulfidic linkages, exhibited a greater thermal ageing resistance than that with low ACC/S ratio which contained polysulfidic linkage. Comparing in two hybrid filler systems, the reinforcement performance of CB/CC hybrid-filled is significantly higher for all ACC/S ratios investigated.

This paper presents the crashworthiness performance of carbon reinforced epoxy laminate tubular structure of three different kind tubes made of 0˚ plies Unidirectionally Arrayed Chopped Strand (UACS) introduced into laminate tube. UACS plies with discontinuous angled slit and slit perpendicular to fiber direction, namely bi-angle slits and staggered slits were used as 0˚ ply, respectively, instead of conventional continuous fiber ply to investigate relationship between crashworthiness capacities and progressive collapse behavior under quasi-static crushing tests. Newly designed laminate tube for crashworthy structure made of 0˚ plies UACS bi-angle slits and staggered slit was succesfully enhanced specific energy absorption by about 9.1% and 4.3% respectively compare to conventional continuous fiber laminate tube. The crushed laminate tubes then were sectioned through the impact point and micro-photograph were taken to show the failure behavior, which include effect of distribution slit on delamination, matrix cracking, curvature size, friction, etc. It is shown that UACS laminate beside of showing excellent formability also become newly auto trigger mechanism to achieve much stable and controllable collapse with much extensive fiber fracture occurred.
Study on Corrosion Process of Al-Mg Coatings Based on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
Authors: Tong Hui , Han Wen Li , Xu Zhong Ping , Zhang Yan Jun , Lin Zhu , Wei Shi Cheng
Published: July 2017

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a technology of nondestructive electrochemical testing. In this paper, EIS is applied to study the corrosion processes of Al-Mg coatings. In the initial 24 h of immersion in 3.5% NaCl solution, passive films of Al-Mg coatings dissolve quickly. As time passed, corrosion products increase on surface gradually, which can inhibit corrosion. After 480h of immersion, corrosion products fully cover on Al-Mg coatings’ surface. The EIS of different corrosion processes are fitted by three equivalent circuits corresponding to the three corrosion processes. In the test of open circuit potentials (OCP), OCP is instable in the initial 24 h of immersion. As immersion time goes by, OCP tends to stabilization at about -0.90 V. Measurements of scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirm the conclusions of electrochemical measurements.

Published: July 2017

0.82NBT-0.18ST and 0.85NBT-0.15ST thin films have been prepared on Si substrates by a modified metalorganic solution deposition process. To achieve films with better ferroelectric properties, three main items have been changed in the process. Then the crystal structures, surface microstructures, hysteresis loops, fatigue curves and capacitance-voltage curves of the films were measured. It can be found that NBT-ST films can crystallize well after annealing at 650 °C for 5 minutes and have smooth surface microstructures. The 0.85NBT-0.15ST thin films exhibit better well-defined hysteresis loops than 0.82NBT-0.18ST, with a remnant polarization of 1.1 mC/cm2 and a coercive fields of 44.2 kV/cm. The clockwise C-V curves show that they have a desired polarization-type switching mode. The memory window of 0.82NBT-0.18ST thin film is about 1.8V, and that of 0.85NBT-0.15ST thin film is about 2.5V.

Published: July 2017

A low pass filter based on spoof surface plasma polaritons (SSPPs) was devised successfully, which possessed three-section structure, the microstrip wave guide as the first section, the conversion section as the second section, and the SSPPs as the third section. It should be noted that there is a new V-shaped groove structure in the third section, which were carried out by the simulation on characteristics of stop band rejection characteristic and bandwidth for low pass filter. These results indicated that the low pass filter had Pass-band between direct-current and 7.8592GHz, the pass-band insertion loss was better than -3dB, the pass-band reflection was less than -10dB. This new type of SSPPs low pass filter would be certain engineering value in the application of microstrip circuit, microwave base station and radar microwave communication system between L band and X band.

Biodegradable scaffold is an accepted and commercialized medical alternative choice for bone regeneration. In this project, we used our new invention, porous starch-Hydroxyapatite (HA) composite for in vivo clinical trial. The products were prepared from medical grade Thai rice starch mixed with high purity (>97%) HA powder from fresh cow bone, and already passed in vivo animal biocompatibility test, then processed by freeze-drying. There were 44 volunteers from orthopedic and neurosurgical division, 4 and 40 patients, respectively. The results were assessed by operative surgeons and nurses, pre-and intraoperative period, including size appropriateness, comfort handle, ease of cutting, void space filling, water stability, product weight, shelf storage, package opening, contamination risk and waste removal. All average satisfactory scales were more than 95% rating. For postoperative period, at least 6 months, the soft tissue swellings around surgical areas were resoluted about 3 days as usual healing process. There were no any symptoms or signs of infection or allergic reactions. The follow up of x-ray imaging showed well ossification about 2 months. All patients have gained good functional performance. So porous starch-HA composites biomaterial can be used for human bone and skull regeneration with completely safety and efficacy.

Published: July 2017

Oil impregnated insulation paper plays an important role in a transformer as it insulates the windings from high voltage and current. Other than the type of paper used, the properties of oil such as viscosity, relative permittivity and dielectric loss play a major factor that contributes to the quality of the insulation paper. This paper discussed the sonication and esterification process on palm oil and treated waste vegetable oil and its’ effects on the performance of oil impregnated paper. Basically through these processes, viscosity of oils will reduce. However, the resultant permittivity and dielectric loss as well as its’ breakdown strength are rarely reported. Experiments were set to process (sonicates and esterify) the natural oils prior to the paper impregnation process. Results show that esterification is more effective than sonication process in reducing insulation oil viscosity, relative permittivity and dissipation factors as well as increasing the breakdown voltage of the oil impregnated paper. Palm oil methyl ester (POME) could serve as an excellent insulation oil which is very suitable as transformer oil as well as the impregnation medium for paper insulation.
The Combination of Na2EDTA and Reducing Organic Acid on Remediation of Soil Contaminated by Heavy Metals
Authors: Wei Meng , Chen Jia Jun , Liu Yun Song
Published: July 2017

Washing tests using a typical chelating agent (Na2EDTA) and two reducing organic acids (oxalic and ascorbic acid) were conducted to remediate soil contaminated by heavy metals at a former metal smelter. Removal efficiencies of arsenic, cadmium, copper and lead under Na2EDTA washing enhanced by reducing organic acid were tested with washing time and steps. Results showed that the addition of reducing acid increased the overall removal efficiencies of metals in some extent. The combination of Na2EDTA and oxalic acid was effective in removing arsenic and copper, while the combination of Na2EDTA and ascorbic acid was more effective in removing cadmium and lead. Washing process included the rapid desorption (20~60 min) and the rate-limited dissolution. Most available contents of metals were extracted within an hour. Multi-step washing was more effective than single washing. However, secondary washing was sufficient for remediation. So the washing conditions should be identified prudently.

Published: July 2017

Scedosporium apiospermum, an ubiquitous filamentous fungus, a known cause of mycetoma, is emerging as an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of painful foot abscess in a renal allograft recipient on immunosuppressive therapy, which was clinically diagnosed as a suppurative bacterial abscess. Pus was aspirated, which showed septate, branching hyphal elements and culture on Sabouraud's dextrose agar yielded S. apiospermum, which was identified based on its macroscopic and microscopic features. There are very few reports of scedosporiasis from India. High index of suspicion for unusual fungal infection helps in prompt etiological diagnosis in a transplant recipient and rapid management prevents further dissemination.
Does prehospital time affect survival of major trauma patients where there is no prehospital care?
Authors: Dharap SB , Kamath S , Kumar V
Published: July 2017

Background:

Survival after major trauma is considered to be time dependent. Efficient prehospital care with rapid transport is the norm in developed countries, which is not available in many lower middle and low-income countries. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of prehospital time and primary treatment given on survival of major trauma patients in a setting without prehospital care.

Materials and Methods:

This prospective observational study was carried out in a university hospital in Mumbai, from January to December 2014. The hospital has a trauma service but no organized prehospital care or defined interhospital transfer protocols. All patients with life- and/or limb-threatening injuries were included in the study. Injury time and arrival time were noted and the interval was defined as “prehospital time” for the directly arriving patients and as “time to tertiary care” for those transferred. Primary outcome measure was in-hospital death (or discharge).

Results:

Of 1181 patients, 352 were admitted directly from the trauma scene and 829 were transferred from other hospitals. In-hospital mortality was associated with age, mechanism and mode of injury, shock, Glasgow Coma Score <9, Injury Severity Score ≥16, need for intubation, and ventilatory support on arrival; but neither with prehospital time nor with time to tertiary care. Transferred patients had a significantly higher mortality (odds ratio = 1.869, 95% confidence interval = 1.233–2.561, P = 0.005) despite fewer patients with severe injury. Two hundred and ninety-four (35%) of these needed airway intervention while 108 (13%) needed chest tube insertion on arrival to the trauma unit suggesting inadequate care at primary facility.

Conclusion:

Mortality is not associated with prehospital time but with transfers from primary care; probably due to deficient care. To improve survival after major trauma, enhancement of resources for resuscitation and capacity building of on-duty doctors in primary centers should be a priority in countries with limited resources.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-0221.2017v14n25p211O Laboratório de Engenharia Biomecânica (LEBm/ HU-UFSC) é um centro de ensino, pesquisa e desenvolvimento tecnológico na área da saúde com foco no projeto e na avaliação pré-clínica da segurança e eficácia de implantes cirúrgicos. A referida avaliação requer a definição de métricas clinicamente relevantes que permitam quantificar os riscos associados ao uso da tecnologia. No Brasil, a permissão para a comercialização de produtos médicos é fornecida pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA) após a demonstração de que o produto é livre de riscos não aceitáveis. Portanto, a superação das barreiras técnicas para a comercialização dos produtos desenvolvidos no Brasil é de suma importância para a indústria nacional e pode impactar positivamente na balança comercial do setor odonto-médico-hospitalar. No presente artigo, é descrita a atuação extensionista do LEBm do Hospital Universitário da UFSC no desenvolvimento da área de dispositivos médicos e na capacitação de recursos humanos para a avaliação pré-clínica de tecnologias de implantes cirúrgicos fabricados no Brasil.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-0221.2017v14n25p73A Extensão Universitária envolve um processo que conecta a educação e a pesquisa à sociedade. Visando integrar a Farmácia Universitária com o programa de Extensão Universitária 5Rs foram coletados medicamentos em desuso da comunidade acadêmica. O material foi avaliado quali- e quantitativamente de Set/2013 a Fev/2015. Obteve-se como resultado uma maior quantidade de medicamentos alopáticos representando 97,3% do total, destes 43% correspondem a MIPs. A categoria farmacológica mais frequente foi AINES (20,4%) seguida por antimicrobianos (16,7%). A análise crítica permitiu a identificação de: 1-Ponto fortes: disponibilidade de local para descarte dos medicamentos sem uso e destinação adequada aos mesmos. 2-Oportunidades: conhecer o material descartado, possibilitando desenvolver programas de conscientização da população e disseminar o conceito do uso racional de medicamentos. 3-Fraquezas: coletores inadequados, em locais restritos à população universitária, não permitindo o conhecimento das razões do descarte e as características da população envolvida. 4-Ameaças: alto custo do descarte correto.

Abstract. Flux towers provide essential terrestrial climate, water, and radiation budget information needed for environmental monitoring and evaluation of climate change impacts on ecosystems and society in general. They are also intended for calibration and validation of satellite-based Earth observation and monitoring efforts, such as assessment of evapotranspiration from land and vegetation surfaces using surface energy balance approaches. In this paper, 15 years of Skukuza eddy covariance data, i.e. from 2000 to 2014, were analysed for surface energy balance closure (EBC) and partitioning. The surface energy balance closure was evaluated using the ordinary least squares regression (OLS) of turbulent energy fluxes (sensible (H) and latent heat (LE)) against available energy (net radiation (Rn) less soil heat (G)), and the energy balance ratio (EBR). Partitioning of the surface energy during the wet and dry seasons was also investigated, as well as how it is affected by atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD), and net radiation. After filtering years with low-quality data (2004–2008), our results show an overall mean EBR of 0.93. Seasonal variations of EBR also showed the wet season with 1.17 and spring (1.02) being closest to unity, with the dry season (0.70) having the highest imbalance. Nocturnal surface energy closure was very low at 0.26, and this was linked to low friction velocity during night-time, with results showing an increase in closure with increase in friction velocity. The energy partition analysis showed that sensible heat flux is the dominant portion of net radiation, especially between March and October, followed by latent heat flux, and lastly the soil heat flux, and during the wet season where latent heat flux dominated sensible heat flux. An increase in net radiation was characterized by an increase in both LE and H, with LE showing a higher rate of increase than H in the wet season, and the reverse happening during the dry season. An increase in VPD is correlated with a decrease in LE and increase in H during the wet season, and an increase in both fluxes during the dry season.
Response to Five Philosophers: Toward a Feminist Theory of the State Some Decades Later
Authors: MacKinnon Catharine A
Published: July 2017

In this response to the five philosophers who engaged her Toward a Feminist Theory of the State in decades-down-the-road assessments, Professor MacKinnon takes up the central questions in the dialogues they raised on questions of epistemology, method, social construction, racism, and judgment. She re-asserts the centrality of sexuality in gender and sexual abuse in gender inequality and recounts some of the legal consequences of this critique, which she originated.
Eclectic/Subversive Period: Eugene Jolas and the Modernist Laboratory of transition
Authors: Hatch David Allen
Published: July 2017

A consideration of the two journals bearing the title Transition: the pre-war journal edited by Eugene Jolas and the postwar journal edited by Georges Duthuit, respectively. This study demonstrates each editor's highly self-conscious approach to defining and encapsulating modernist aesthetics of unique time, place, and experience. More importantly, perhaps, the evolving dialogues and editorial practices of these two journals reveal a corresponding evolution from high to late modernism.
On the Very Idea of “Justifying Suffering”
Authors: Janaway Christopher
Published: July 2017

Many commentators have said that Nietzsche is concerned, either in all or in some parts of his career, with providing a kind of “theodicy,” or with justifying or finding meaning in suffering. In this article, I examine these notions, questioning whether terms such as “theodicy” or “justifying suffering” are helpful in getting Nietzsche's views into focus, and exploring some unclarities concerning the way in which such terms themselves are understood. I conclude that, while Nietzsche's later position is continuous with the tradition of theodicy in seeking to relate suffering's value to some wider whole, it is also discontinuous with that tradition because it does not hold that suffering as such has a fixed normative value, that suffering as such has a meaning, that it happens for a reason, or that it is justified, let alone that the world's containing suffering is in line with our interests, or that we ought because of suffering to value our lives one way or another. On Nietzsche's view there is nothing that guarantees meaning or specific normative value to suffering just because it is suffering. In all these senses Nietzsche has moved away from the tradition of theodicy.

Aim of study: To verify and prioritise a set of sustainable forestry indicators using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).Area of study: Participants were Spanish; indicators were meant to be applied in forest management units (FMUs) under Mediterranean conditions.Material and methods: An AHP questionnaire was developed and sent to experts.Main Results: the set of indicators aimed to be comprehensive. Indicators were ranked and the ranking allows ascertaining what aspects are more relevant in relation to Mediterranean sustainable forestry. Issues like regeneration or habitats conservation got high values, whereas others like hunting activity were not seen as important by most experts.Research highlights:- Sustainable forest management (SFM) considerations for Mediterranean forests.- Indicators adapt to ecosystem services.
Short communication: Aqueous-acetone extraction improves the drawbacks of using dimethylsulfoxide as solvent for photometric pigment quantification in Quercus ilex leaves

Published: July 2017

Aim of study: We evaluated the use of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for the photometric determination of chlorophyll (Chla and Chlb) and carotenoids in Quercus ilex L. leaves by comparative analysis using aqueous-acetone extraction.Area of study: a Q. ilex dehesa in Las Majadas del Tietar, Cáceres, SpainMaterial and methods: Q. ilex leaves were sampled during two vegetative periods. Field SPAD-502 Chlorophyll measurements and photometric chlorophyll determinations were performed.  Two procedures were used: extraction of intact foliar discs at 65ºC with DMSO and fine foliar powder with cold aqueous-acetone.Main results: DMSO produced Chlb overestimation and different fitting performance for SPAD vs pigment calibrations (R2=0.64, RMSE=0.20, p<0.0001 for Chla (µg/cm2); R2=0.33, RMSE=0.23, p<0.0001 for Chlb (µg/cm2) and R2=0.50, RMSE=0.23, p<0.0001 for carotenoids (µg/cm2)). Aqueous-acetone provided more accurate predictions (R2=0.90, RMSE=0.16, p<0.0001 for Chla and R2=0.91, RMSE=0.16, p<0.0001 for Chlb, R2=0.90, RMSE=0.02, p<0.0001 for carotenoids) and mean ratio Chla/Chlb=3.6 inside the range for sun exposed leaves.Research highlights: Oxidizing conditions and polyphenol concentrations in Q. ilex leaves generated brown colorations in the DMSO extraction procedure, interfering with the photometric measurements in the red-orange region. Aqueous-acetone extraction was free from interference. DMSO should be avoided for pigment determination in Q. ilex leaves or when comparing different tree species.

Published: July 2017

Aim of study: Designing adequate silvicultural systems for natural regeneration of a forest species requires sound knowledge of the underlying ecological subprocesses: flowering and fruiting, seed dispersal and predation, seed germination, seedling emergence and seedling survival. The main objective of the present work is to carry out a review on the current knowledge about the different subprocesses governing the regeneration process for the main Iberian Pinus species, in order to propose scientifically based management schedules.Area of study: The review focuses on the five main native Pinus species within their most representative areas in the Iberian Peninsula: Pinus nigra in Cuenca mountains, Pinus sylvestris in Sierra de Guadarrama, Pinus pinaster and Pinus pinea in the Northern Plateau and Pinus halepensis in CataloniaMaterial and methods: Firstly, currently available information on spatiotemporal dynamics and influential factors is introduced for each subprocess and species. Secondly, current regeneration strategies are characterized and the main bottlenecks are identified. Finally, alternative silvicultural practices proposed on the light of the previous information are presented.Main results: Different climate-mediated bottlenecks have been identified to limit natural regeneration of the Iberian pine species, with seed predation and initial seedling survival among the most influential. New approaches focusing on more gradual regeneration fellings, extended rotation periods, prevent big gaps and program fellings on mast years are presented.Research highlights: Natural regeneration of the studied species exhibit an intermittent temporal pattern, which should be aggravated under drier scenarios. More flexible management schedules should fulfil these limitations.

In autumn 2015, hazelnut plants with leaf blight symptoms were noticed in a commercial plantation in the Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. Symptomatic samples were collected and submitted to laboratory analysis. Based on morphological characterization, the fungus isolated from the material was initially identified as Pestalotiopsis sp. Pathogenicity tests showed that two selected isolates infected hazelnut leaves and fruits that developed symptoms after artificial inoculation. The pathogen was re-isolated from diseased leaves and fruits, confirming Koch’s postulates. Molecular identification was performed with sequence and phylogenetic analysis of ITS, EF1-α, and TUB genomic regions. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the results of the morphological identification. The detection of Pestalotiopsis sp., a causal agent of leaf blight on hazelnut in Serbia, is one of a few reports of these pathogenic fungi on hazelnut.
