The Narrative of Fanaticism in Advertising
Authors: Sirer Esennur
Published: May 2019

Entertainment is an activity that emerged with capitalism. With intense working conditions and unbearable lives, people who live in the city are made amazed by entertainment techniques. In factories or on the production line, it was necessary to entertain mechanically constantly-working masses in an easy and inexpensive way. The football, which is used for this purpose, has an important role in organizing the time of leisure and leisure. The interest of the broad masses of fans has made football an interest of advertisers. Many products are marketed in color. Shaped shirts and sporty products are the most important ones every year. All the products of the team are turned into a part of the football game, which is trying to sell all the products of the team. Not just fans going to the match; old, young, child, adult, female, male - everyone is walking around on the match day like a billboard.

Authors: Henshilwood Elizabeth , Swilling Mark , Naidoo Marjorie L.
Published: May 2019

The over-reliance on private cars carries significant environmental and societal costs. International accords call for low-carbon automobility transitions, particularly in cities. Understanding how, why and where this global dependency could shift is crucial for sustainability, natural resource use, and climate change. This research hones into a geographically isolated and automobile-dependent enclave in Cape Town. Various social actors and residents contributed to a collaborative transdisciplinary inquiry. The qualitative research relied on documentation, semi-structured interviews, and social media research (Facebook) as sources of evidence. The latter method enticed residents to contribute to a solution-driven online debate, thereby aiding e-participation around a pressing urban issue. True to the essence of transdisciplinary design research, science was produced with society. In terms of sustainability transition theory, it stresses the importance of contextually appropriate low-carbon transitions (science) while highlighting community interest in bottom-up solutions (society).
Multi-Distribution Characteristics Based Chinese Entity Synonym Extraction from The Web
Authors: Ma Xiuxia , Luo Xiangfeng , Huang Subin , Guo Yike
Published: May 2019

Entity synonyms play an important role in natural language processing applications, such as query expansion and question answering. There are three main distribution characteristics in web texts:1) appearing in parallel structures; 2) occurring with specific patterns in sentences; and 3) distributed in similar contexts. The first and second characteristics rely on reliable prior knowledge and are susceptive to data sparseness, bringing high accuracy and low recall to synonym extraction. The third one may lead to high recall but low accuracy, since it identifies a somewhat loose semantic similarity. Existing methods, such as context-based and pattern-based methods, only consider one characteristic for synonym extraction and rarely take their complementarity into account. For increasing recall, this article proposes a novel extraction framework that can combine the three characteristics for extracting synonyms from the web, where an Entity Synonym Network (ESN) is built to incorporate synonymous knowledge. To improve accuracy, the article treats synonym detection as a ranking problem and uses the Spreading Activation model as a ranking means to detect the hard noise in ESN. Experimental results show the proposed method achieves better accuracy and recall than the state-of-the-art methods.

Authors: Gupta Sumita , Duhan Neelam , Bansal Poonam
Published: May 2019

With the rapid growth of digital information and user need, it becomes imperative to retrieve relevant and desired domain or topic specific documents as per the user query quickly. A focused crawler plays a vital role in digital libraries to crawl the web so that researchers can easily explore the domain specific search results list and find the desired content against the query. In this article, a focused crawler is being proposed for online digital library search engines, which considers meta-data of the query in order to retrieve the corresponding document or other relevant but missing information (e.g. paid publication from ACM, IEEE, etc.) against the user query. The different query strategies are made by using the meta-data and submitted to different search engines which aim to find more relevant information which is missing. The result comes out from these search engines are filtered and then used further for crawling the Web.

Published: May 2019

The Greek taxation information system is now in the second decade of its operation. Although many weaknesses were recorded in the first decade, it has been operating sufficiently well during the last five years. One critical factor for the satisfactory performance for each information system is the acceptance by its users. The purpose of this study is to investigate the parameters affecting the positive or negative intentions in the use of information systems by tax office employees, as well as their contribution to the transactions between the public and private sectors and their effects. This article focuses on three important factors: (1) those that affect the acceptance of e-government systems by employees, (2) those that affect employees' intention to accept the e-government services, and (3) the contribution of information systems to electronic transactions their effects. In particular, research is done to identify the parameters that affect the intentions for using TAXIS platform by tax office employees of four branches in the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.

Authors: Hernández-Calderón José Guillermo , Benítez-Guerrero Edgard , Rojano-Cáceres José Rafael , Mezura-Godoy Carmen
Published: May 2019

Intelligent environments in educational settings are aimed at supporting the learning process with an unobtrusive monitoring of the student while doing his/her activities. A desk is a common object in these settings, so if it is enhanced with sensing capabilities, it would enable gathering information of user-object interaction in a natural and unobtrusive way. An intelligent system is needed to analyze that information to reach conclusions faster than with traditional, manual observational process, and to provide timely valuable information. In this article, a design of a system to semi-automatically identify relationships between behaviors and the task performance of learners from user-object interaction logs is presented. The aim of detecting such relationships is to help teachers and students in the learning process, supporting their activities to identify special needs. Its components are designed to address four main functions: data acquisition, behavior identification, student performance identification, and computing relationships between student task performance and behaviors.

Hybrid Technique for Complexity Analysis for Java Code
Authors: Al-Batah Mohammad Subhi , Alhindawi Nouh , Malkawi Rami , Al Zuraiqi Ahmad
Published: May 2019

Software complexity can be defined as the degree of difficulty in analysis, testing, design and implementation of software. Typically, reducing model complexity has had a significant impact on maintenance activities. A lot of metrics have been used to measure the complexity of source code such as Halstead, McCabe Cyclomatic, Lines of Code, and Maintainability Index, etc. This article proposed a hybrid module which consists of two theories which are Halstead and McCabe, both theories will be used to analyze a code written in Java. The module provides a mechanism to better evaluate the proficiency level of programmers, and also provides a tool which enables the managers to evaluate the programming levels and their enhancements over time. This will be known by discovering the various differences between levels of complexity in the code. If the program complexity level is low, then of the programmer professionalism level is high, on the other hand, if the program complexity level is high, then the programmer professionalism level is almost low. The results of the conducted experiments show that the proposed approach give very high and accurate evaluation for the undertaken systems.
Using Ontology and Rule-Based Reasoning for Conceptual Data Models Synonyms Detection
Authors: Kazi Ljubica , Kazi Zoltan
Published: May 2019

Conceptual data models can change during the information system development and teamwork phases, which require constantly monitoring with synonyms detection. This study elaborates on an approach for detecting synonyms in an entity-relationship model based on mapping with ontological elements. The use of a specific data model validator (DMV) tool enables formalization of the ontology and ER models, as well as their integration with the set of reasoning rules. The reasoning rules enable mapping between formalized elements of the ontology and ER model, and the extraction of synonyms. Formalized elements and reasoning rules are processed within Prolog for the extraction of synonyms. An empirical study conducted by using university student exams demonstrates usability of the proposed approach. The results show effectiveness in extraction of synonyms in all types of conceptual data model elements.

Уточнение приближений квантовой теории рассеяния для потенциала Юкавы с помощью техники функций Мейера
Authors: Starostin Andrey Nikonovich , Sukharev Aleksandr Germanovich
Published: May 2019

Цель работы - поиск и применение простых методов расчета сечений рассеяния частиц в потенциале Кулона с экранированием в более широком диапазоне величин волновых векторов, чем это допускает борновское приближение. С помощью техники функций Мейера получены выражения для амплитуды рассеяния и квантового сечения рассеяния в пределе $kd\gg 1$, где $d$ - радиус экранирования, $k$ - волновое число. Аналитические результаты сопоставлены с квантовыми расчетами процессов упругого рассеяния при разложении решения в ряд по парциальным волнам. Исследована область волновых векторов, где теряет достоверность борновское приближение, но действует новое приближение. В этой зоне резко нарастает число орбитальных моментов, которые необходимо учитывать при суммировании парциальных сечений, поэтому более точное аналитическое приближение может дать заметное сокращение вычислительных затрат. Также показано, что при вычислении классического интегрального сечения рассеяния необходимо учитывать, что конечная длина экранирования потенциала взаимодействия приводит к сдвигу сечения с массовой поверхности. Учет этого сдвига позволяет добиться хорошего совпадения численных и аналитических данных сечения рассеяния, в том числе за пределами применимости борновского приближения.

Este artigo tem como intuito mostrar ao tradutor as dificuldades em como traduzir o elemento humorístico do texto-fonte para a língua-alvo, uma vez que não se trata apenas de uma questão de transposição de significado, e sim de elementos culturais – como os aspectos sociolinguísticos de um determinado grupo – que estão envolvidos no processo. Além disso, são elencadas algumas teorias pertinentes à linguagem do humor e como o tradutor, enquanto mediador textual, lida com esses aspectos para torna-los cômicos como no texto-fonte. .
A Tradução como fato social
Authors: Tyulenev Sergey , De Camargo Diva Cardoso , Serpa Talita
Published: May 2019

O presente artigo propõe-se a uma releitura de obras clássicas de um dos fundadores da Sociologia Clássica, Émile Durkheim, em sua aplicabilidade para pesquisas na área de Tradução. Considera, portanto, que, uma vez que a ação tradutória é compreendida como um fenômeno social dentro dos Estudos da Tradução, estes deveriam buscar por conceitos da Sociologia, a fim de não tentar "reinventar a roda". Sugere-se, então, que a Sociologia seja diferenciada da Psicologia de uma forma metodologicamente clara. Dentro desse campo, pesquisas individuais sobre traduções e tradutores, a não ser quando colocados em contexto social, não ajudam a compreender o processo como um fenômeno social. Metodologias para o estudo sociologicamente direcionado não poderiam, pois, edificar-se no senso comum, que, na maioria das vezes, acaba por dificultar ao invés de ajuda a ver a tradução como um fenômeno sociológico. Em outras palavras, em nossa investigação, a Tradução é trabalhada como um fato social e a necessidade de estudá-la como tal é fortemente enfatizada.

Abstract. Long-term observations of aerosol microphysical and optical properties obtained through ground-based remote sensing at 50 China Aerosol Remote Sensing Network (CARSNET) sites were used to characterize the aerosol climatology for representative remote, rural, and urban areas over China to assess effects on climate. The annual mean effective radii for total particles (Refft) decreased from north to south and from rural to urban sites, and high total particle volumes were found at the urban sites. The aerosol optical depth at 440 nm (AOD440 nm) increased from remote/rural sites (0.12) to urban sites (0.79), and the extinction Ångström exponent (EAE440–870 nm) increased from 0.71 at the arid/semi-arid sites to 1.15 at the urban sites, presumably due to anthropogenic emissions. Single scattering albedos (SSA440 nm) ranged from 0.88 to 0.92 indicating slightly to strongly absorbing aerosols. Absorption AOD440 nm's were 0.01 at the remote sites versus 0.07 at the urban sites. The average direct aerosol radiative effect (DARE) at the bottom of atmosphere increased from the sites in the remote (−24.40 W/m2) to the urban area (−103.28 W/m2) indicating increased cooling at the latter. The DARE for the top of the atmosphere increased from −4.79 W/m2 at the remote sites to −30.05 W/m2 at the urban sites, indicating overall cooling effects for the earth-atmosphere system. A classification method based on SSA440 nm, fine mode fraction (FMF), and EAE440–870 nm showed that coarse mode particles (mainly dust) were dominant at the rural sites near the northwestern deserts, while light-absorbing, fine-mode particles were important at most urban sites. This study will be useful for understanding aerosol climate effects and regional environmental pollution, and the results will provide useful information for satellite validation and the improvement of climate modelings.
Notes on the correlation between sudden stratospheric warmings and solar activity
Authors: Vorobeva Ekaterina
Published: May 2019

Abstract. A correlation between solar activity and normalized occurrence rate of
sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) has been found. As a proxy for solar
activity, the 10.7 cm solar radio flux has been used. In order to find the
correlation, we derived a normalized occurrence rate of major sudden stratospheric warmings (MSSWs) based on both the
ERA-40/ERA-Interim dataset and NCEP data. Based on this distribution, we
calculated the correlation coefficient, which amounts to 0.63, with a
significance of 90.68 %, for ERA-40/ERA-Interim, and 0.55 for the NCEP–NCAR-I reanalysis,
with a significance of 83.80 %. Additionally, we calculate correlation
coefficients for Lyman-alpha flux and sunspot numbers with the analogous
method for the same period.
The quasi-equilibrium framework revisited: analyzing long-term CO2 enrichment responses in plant–soil models

Published: May 2019

Abstract. Elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) can increase plant growth, but the
magnitude of this CO2 fertilization effect is modified by soil
nutrient availability. Predicting how nutrient availability affects plant
responses to elevated CO2 is a key consideration for ecosystem
models, and many modeling groups have moved to, or are moving towards,
incorporating nutrient limitation in their models. The choice of assumptions
to represent nutrient cycling processes has a major impact on model
predictions, but it can be difficult to attribute outcomes to specific
assumptions in complex ecosystem simulation models. Here we revisit the
quasi-equilibrium analytical framework introduced by Comins and
McMurtrie (1993) and explore the consequences of specific model assumptions
for ecosystem net primary productivity (NPP). We review the literature applying this framework to plant–soil
models and then analyze the effect of several new assumptions on predicted
plant responses to elevated CO2. Examination of alternative
assumptions for plant nitrogen uptake showed that a linear function of the
mineral nitrogen pool or a linear function of the mineral nitrogen pool with
an additional saturating function of root biomass yield similar CO2
responses at longer timescales (>5 years), suggesting that the added
complexity may not be needed when these are the timescales of interest. In
contrast, a saturating function of the mineral nitrogen pool with linear
dependency on root biomass yields no soil nutrient feedback on the
very-long-term (>500 years), near-equilibrium timescale, meaning that one
should expect the model to predict a full CO2 fertilization effect
on production. Secondly, we show that incorporating a priming effect on slow
soil organic matter decomposition attenuates the nutrient feedback effect on
production, leading to a strong medium-term (5–50 years) CO2
response. Models incorporating this priming effect should thus predict a
strong and persistent CO2 fertilization effect over time. Thirdly,
we demonstrate that using a “potential NPP” approach to represent nutrient
limitation of growth yields a relatively small CO2 fertilization
effect across all timescales. Overall, our results highlight the
fact that the quasi-equilibrium
analytical framework is effective for evaluating both the consequences and
mechanisms through which different model assumptions affect predictions. To
help constrain predictions of the future terrestrial carbon sink, we
recommend the use of this framework to analyze likely outcomes of new model
assumptions before introducing them to complex model structures.
Vivienda, modernidad y concepciones de la ciudadanía en una ciudad del sureste de México
Authors: Kuromiya Aki
Published: May 2019

Analizo la materialización de distintas concepciones de ciudadanía de acuerdo con las condiciones de la vivienda y del entorno habitacional: por una parte, dentro de un espacio urbano privilegiado, donde se consolida la ciudadanía moderna universal con base en la noción del individuo, quien posee derechos y obligaciones; y, por otra parte, en una zona urbana periférica, donde se observa una ciudadanía autoconstruida durante el proceso de reclamo por los derechos sociales desde formas participativas, para alcanzar la vida moderna y deseada. Mediante un estudio comparativo entre dos colonias de la ciudad de Tapachula, en Chiapas, México, señalo que las concepciones de ciudadanía y el proceso de ciudadanización no son absolutos ni abstractos, sino relativos a espacios urbanos concretos: es decir, se relacionan íntimamente con los procesos de transformación de los estilos de vida y, por lo tanto, con la vivienda y el espacio habitacional diseñado bajo la lógica modernizadora.

Published: May 2019

The aim of the study was to compare chemical and nutritional profile of wine and heat-treated wine, called mulled wine. The experiment was focused on simulation of ordinary produce mulled wine by the majority of consumers. Cabernet Moravia (bottled in Velkobí­lovická ví­na s.r.o., Czech Republic) was used for the experimental production of mulled wine. Following spices were added to wine during cooking: cloves (Vitana, Czech Republic) and cinnamon (KOTíNY, Austria). The samples of wine were heat treated in stainless steel pot for 5 minutes. The relative density, acidity, alcohol content, phenol content and antioxidant capacity were monitored in experimentally produced wine and mulled wine. The gained results showed that samples of mulled wine with added cloves had statistically significant (p <0.05) higher phenol content and higher antioxidant properties in comparison with wine before heat treatment and spices addition. The results clearly showed that mulled wine can be considered as the product with better health beneficial nutritional profile than wine from which it is produced; in addition, mulled wine sample had significantly (p <0.05) lower alcoholic content (8.27 ±0.04 vol.%).

Published: May 2019

O biodiesel possui destaque na matriz energética nacional, mas a sua utilização em larga escala gera glicerina de forma demasiada, provocando um problema, caso não seja encontrado um destino para o mesmo. Portanto, para consumir este excedente de glicerina bruta é muito importante o desenvolvimento de tecnologias alternativas e ao mesmo tempo inovadoras, para a purificação e formação de produtos com maior valor agregado, que promovam o aproveitamento e comercialização deste subproduto. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi o estudo da remoção de cor da glicerina bruta, proveniente do processo de produção de biodiesel, por meio de adsorção em carvão ativado. Primeiramente, foi realizada a caracterização da glicerina bruta, por meio das análises de teor de glicerol, teor de umidade, pH, massa específica, índice de acidez e viscosidade cinemática. No processo de adsorção, foram realizados testes de velocidade de agitação (50, 100, 150, 200 e 235 rpm), efeito do tempo de adsorção (1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 e 300 min) e efeito das diferentes concentrações de carvão ativado (5, 10, 30, 50, 70, 100, 150 e 200 g L-1) nas temperaturas de 25, 40 e 60 °C. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que a maior remoção de cor (100%) foi obtida com 200 rpm, 300 min, 60 °C e 150 g L-1 de carvão ativado. Portanto, nas condições avaliadas, o carvão ativado vegetal apresentou potencial para a remoção de cor da glicerina bruta.

Published: May 2019

Os resíduos gerados em agroindústrias podem ser destinados corretamente na agricultura reduzindo impactos ambientais e se forem utilizados como insumo orgânico podem aumentar a produtividade do solo e obter bons resultados após o plantio. Diante disso, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência do uso de biofertilizante produzido a partir da digestão anaeróbia de efluente de processamento de mandioca nas características de solo cultivado com soja. Utilizou-se a variedade Monsoy 6210 IPRO e os tratamentos foram constituídos de seis níveis: adubação mineral 02-20-20 e cinco doses de biofertilizante (0; 40; 80; 120 e 160 kg ha-1 de K2O), com cinco repetições cada. Após o desenvolvimento das plantas de soja, o solo de todos os tratamentos foi coletado e caracterizado no Laboratório de Química Analítica e Análises Ambientais da UFPR – Setor Palotina considerando-se as variáveis de pH, condutividade elétrica, cálcio e magnésio, matéria orgânica, acidez trocável e acidez total. O cultivo da soja e uso da adubação mineral e de biofertilizante contribuíram para o aumento do pH em relação ao valor inicial (5,50). Com relação a matéria orgânica os maiores valores encontrados foram para o tratamento com 160 kg ha-1 de K2O. Os teores finais de cálcio e magnésio não superaram os iniciais indicando, possivelmente, absorção pela planta ou lixiviação desses elementos. O biofertilizante por ter elevada carga orgânica apresenta-se como opção para aumentar a fertilidade podendo demonstrar efeitos positivos no solo.

The breast circumference (CAP) and the stipe length (AE) were collected for physical, chemical and energetic analysis, and a composite sample was collected from three random stipes from each zone. The analyzes were in accordance with the recommended Brazilian standards: ABNT 11940 (1983) for the physical analysis, ABNT 8112 (1986) for chemical analysis, and ABNT 8633 (1983) for energetic analysis. Regarding CAP, an average of 132.43 cm was obtained (CV = 27.81%), and AE had an average of 314.89 cm (CV = 30.67%). These variations may be explained by the different bioclimatic conditions in each region where the populations are located, as well as the different ages of each palm tree. The average values of the physical variables, moisture content and basic density were 50.09% and 0.34 g.cm-³, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to perform a drying process, and it may be outdoors for the equilibrium moisture content with the region. The chemical tests indicated an average volatile matter of 82.46%, with an ash content of 0.83% and a fixed carbon of 16.76%. The higher calorific value was, on average, 4586.25 kcal.kg-1. The results indicate that Inaja stipe can be suitable for energetic uses, such as heat generation.

Brazil is still very incipient in the use of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) for the generation of fuels and electric energy. Law No. 12.305/10 establishes the National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP), considered efficient and adequate for solving the problems caused by MSW. However,  NSWP is considered a process of high cost when compared to  landfill. Due to the need to seek clean and renewable forms of energy, the pyrolysis process can be an alternative in the  primary energy production. This is a thermochemical conversion process, which occurs at high temperatures and involves several chemical reactions, whose liquid organic aqueous fraction is called bio-oil. This work studied the physicochemical characteristics of some types of waste (food scraps, cardboard and paper) and their potential for power generation. The samples presented similar elemental composition and the moisture content for energy generation: 7 % for food scraps (FS), 6 % for cardboard and 4 % for paper. Thermogravimetric analysis were performed to establish that the optimum temperature pyrolysis, in addition to determining  the ash content, values above 20 % may cause loss of energy in the process or soot in the liquid fraction. The lowest  heating value (LHV) presented typical values of biomasses, between 13 MJ/kg and 20/MJ kg. Considering the obtained results, these samples presented energetic potential for use in the pyrolysis process.

The charcoal production from wood wastes is a viable and suitable alternative to income Amazon region. However, it is necessary to define the best parameters for the optimization of production. The aim was  to  study the effect of three final temperatures (300, 400 and 500ºC) in physical, mechanical and energetic properties of wood waste charcoal of Tachigali chrysophylla. The material was collected in an area under second cutting cycle forest management in the Amazon. Branch waste of three trees were cut in 20x20x40mm³ samples and carbonized at different final temperatures at 1.6°C.min-1. The apparent density, mechanical strength and modulus of elasticity at parallel compression, gravimetric yield on charcoal and the higher heating value were  determined. The data were analyzed with p<0.05. The final temperature affected the evaluated charcoal properties . The temperature of 500ºC is indicated when  a charcoal with high mechanical strength at parallel compression and higher heating value is aimed. When the objective are higher apparent density and gravimetric yield in charcoal, the final temperature of 300ºC should be used.

The licuri nut shell is a potential source of biomass for energy production. The aim of this study was the physicochemical characterization of the licuri shell, focusing on the increase of its use as a fuel. The material was collected in Caldeirão Grande-BA and the characterization included a wide range of analyses such as: moisture content, bulk density, particle size distribution, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, high heating value (HHV), hot water and cyclohexane/ethanol extractions, Klason lignin content, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The obtained results  were: moisture content (11,1%), HHV (4652 kcal.kg-1), Klason lignin content (36,86%), volatile content (74,91%), and fixed carbon (21,19%). The results showed that the material can be considered suitable for the purpose of generating energy when compared with other types of biomasses. The ash content (3,9%) and the extractives content (46,75%) are in accordance with the values observed for the babassu nut shell, Brazilian nut shell, and coconut. Finally, by the TGA analysis, it was observed that the degradation peak occurred at 272°C with a loss of 65% of weight. With these results, the licuri nut shell has shown to be potentially promising for the energy production.

A influência alelopática pode resultar em efeitos estimulantes ou inibitórios, dependendo das plantas envolvidas. Tais efeitos são provenientes de aleloquímicos oriundos do metabolismo secundário, sendo que o mecanismo de transferência destes compostos pode envolver tanto a parte aérea, quanto a radicular bem como o solo. Neste contexto, alguns estudos estão utilizando os efeitos alelopáticos como fonte alternativa ao uso de produtos químicos e também as ações como substancia sinal, reconhecimento, defesa ou inibição. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a influência alelopática de extrato de soja na germinação de sementes de crambe. O experimento foi um delineamento completamente casualizado, constituído de 3 tratamentos (0, 50 e 100%) com seis repetições cada, sendo monitorado os seguintes parâmetros: massa fresca (g) e massa seca (g), comprimento de parte aérea e parte radicular (cm) e diâmetro de caule (mm). Observou-se que a cultura de crambe não foi afetada por influência alelopática, tal fato sugere o possível cultivo do crambe como alternativa para a rotação de cultura no cultivo da soja.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar os efeitos de salinidade em sementes de Crambe. Adotou-se um delineamento completamente casualizado com cinco tratamentos de soluções salinas de cloreto de sódio (0; 0,5; 0,10; 0,15 e 0,20 mol L-1) com seis repetições. Foram semeadas 2 sementes por células de germinação, onde as sementes foram irrigadas com solução salina a cada dois dias, durante 15 dias. As variáveis analisadas foram: Comprimento da parte aérea e radicular, massa fresca e seca porcentagem de germinação e índice de velocidade de germinação. A salinidade não interferiu nas variáveis de comprimento de parte radicular e massa seca da planta. Entretanto apresentou efeitos negativos para porcentagem de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, comprimento de parte aérea e massa fresca da planta. Com isso conclui-se que a irrigação com águas salinas na cultura de Crambe, provoca alterações no desenvolvimento da planta.

A produção de biodiesel no Brasil é obtida de diferentes fontes de óleos e gorduras. Uma das principais fontes de obtenção de óleo para produção de biodiesel é a soja. Com isso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a produção de biodiesel de diferentes fontes de óleos vegetais. Assim, foram utilizados óleos adquiridos comercialmente de soja, arroz, linhaça e nabo. A partir da realização do processo de transesterificação por 50min a 60° C, o material foi separado em fases (biodiesel e glicerina). No produto final foram realizadas as análises de densidade, viscosidade e índice de acidez. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que outras fontes de óleos vegetais podem ser usadas para a síntese de biodiesel e apresentam resultados iguais ou superiores ao de soja, proporcionando potencial de uso na produção em larga escala.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar um levantamento da literatura sobre a batata-doce como uma cultura energética voltada para a produção de biocombustível. Um dos principais biocombustíveis utilizado no Brasil é o etanol, produzido exclusivamente por cana-de-açúcar. Diante disso, a batata-doce se apresenta como uma possibilidade de matéria-prima para a produção de etanol, visto que em sua composição há altos teores de carboidratos, na forma de amido. A batata-doce é uma alternativa ao milho e à cana-de-açúcar para produção de etanol, uma vez que se trata de uma cultura que demanda baixo investimento, não é empregada em produtos de alto valor agregado e exige quantidades menores de fertilizantes e pesticidas do que o milho. Dado tal contexto, o presente trabalho visa analisar a evolução do bioetanol e apresentar o cultivo da batata-doce com vistas ao desenvolvimento sustentável.
