Symptomatic pulmonary cement embolism after pedicle screw polymethylmethacrylate cement augmentation: A case report and review
Authors: Rahimizadeh Abolfazl , Hassani Valiollah , Soufiani Housain , Rahimizadeh Ava , Karimi Mona , Asgari Naser
Published: February 2020

Background:

In osteoporotic patients, a useful technique for significantly enhancing the strength of a pedicle screw is augmentation with polymethylmethacrylate cement. However, a rare complication of this procedure is a symptomatic pulmonary cement embolism.

Case Description:

A pedicle screw cement augmentation was performed in a middle-aged female for the failed back syndrome. When she developed symptomatic pulmonary cement emboli, she was successfully managed with conservative measures, including anticoagulation.

Conclusion:

Despite the increased use of cement augmentation for pedicle screw placement and the relatively high incidence of cement leakage into the prevertebral venous system, symptomatic cement pulmonary embolism remains rare. The management of such symptomatic CPE should be evaluated and treated based on both the size and location of the embolism. Here, we presented this case while reviewing three symptomatic and four asymptomatic cases from the literature.
Traumatic cervical spine injury: Short-and medium-term prognostic factors in 102 patients
Authors: Abboud Hilal , Ziani Idris , Melhaoui Adyl , Arkha Yasser , Elouahabi Abdessamad
Published: February 2020

Background:

Traumatic cervical spine injuries (CSIs) can be defined as osteodiscoligamentous lesions and are frequent in the young and active population. These lesions are often associated with significant devastating neurological deficits. Here, we sought to establish short-and medium-term prognostic factors that could help predict future outcomes.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed 102 adults admitted for traumatic CSI over an 11-year period (January 2004–December 2014). Patients were graded using Frankel scale as exhibiting good or poor outcomes.

Results:

Two risk factors that significantly predicted results for CSI included original poor Frankel grades (e.g., A and B) and initial neurovegetative disorders (e.g., respectively, P = 0.019 and P = 0.001). However, we did not anticipate that two other risk factors, operative delay and mechanism of trauma, would not significantly adversely impact outcomes.

Conclusion:

Here, we identified two significant risk factors for predicting poor outcomes following CSI; poor initial Frankel Grades A and B and neurovegetative disorders at the time of original presentation.
Unilateral atlantoaxial pseudoarticulation: A case report, literature review, and proposed mechanism
Authors: Eaton Ryan G. , Viljoen Stephanus V.
Published: February 2020

Background:

Atlantoaxial pseudoarticulation rarely involves the cervical spine, and its etiology is unclear. In theory, pseudoarticulation is comparable to Bertolotti’s syndrome in the lumbar spine or may be attributed to an aberrant focal fusion between C0-C1-C2 that occurs during the gastrulation of embryologic development.

Case Description:

A 39-year-old female presented with neck pain and upper extremity weakness. Magnetic resonance/computed tomography studies documented a left-sided unilateral pseudoarticulation between the lamina of C1 and C2 causing compression of the dorsal spinal cord. Following resection of the accessory C1/C2 joint utilizing a C1 hemilaminectomy and partial C2 laminectomy, the patient’s neck pain and weakness resolved. Histologically, the tissue showed benign osteocartilaginous tissue with no synovial capsule.

Conclusion:

Here, the authors present a case of occiput-C1-C2 pseudojoint formation, leading to clinical and radiographic findings of cord compression due to boney outgrowth.

Published: February 2020

Nitrogen-doped carbon-rich 2D materials, such as functionalized graphene and aza-fused π-conjugated porous polymers have achieved superior performance in electrocatalysis and energy storage, in which defects or nitrogen atoms work as the active centers or binding sites for active metals. However, realizing one-atom-thick of these 2D materials with controllable morphology and nitrogen-doping as well as high thermal/chemical stability and band gap is still challenging, while these properties of 2D materials not only expose more accessible active centers to maximize their surface compared to the stacked ones, but also minimize other impact on their applications compared with modified graphene.
Data Augmentation and Pretraining for Template-Based Retrosynthetic Prediction in Computer-Aided Synthesis Planning
Authors: Fortunato Michael , Coley Connor W. , Barnes Brian , Jensen Klavs F.
Published: February 2020

This work presents efforts to augment the performance of data-driven machine learning algorithms for reaction template recommendation used in computer-aided synthesis planning software. Often, machine learning models designed to perform the task of prioritizing reaction templates or molecular transformations are focused on reporting high accuracy metrics for the one-to-one mapping of product molecules in reaction databases to the template extracted from the recorded reaction. The available templates that get selected for inclusion in these machine learning models have been previously limited to those that appear frequently in the reaction databases and exclude potentially useful transformations. By augmenting open-access datasets of organic reactions with artificially calculated template applicability and pretraining a template relevance neural network on this augmented applicability dataset, we report an increase in the template applicability recall and an increase in the diversity of predicted precursors. The augmentation and pretraining effectively teaches the neural network an increased set of templates that could theoretically lead to successful reactions for a given target. Even on a small dataset of well curated reactions, the data augmentation and pretraining methods resulted in an increase in top-1 accuracy, especially for rare templates, indicating these strategies can be very useful for small datasets.

Authors: Kuhn Maximilian , Firth-Clark Stuart , Tosco Paolo , Mey Antonia S. J. S. , Mackey Mark , Michel Julien
Published: February 2020

Free energy calculations have seen increased usage in structure-based drug design. Despite the rising interest, automation of the complex calculations and subsequent analysis of their results are still hampered by the restricted choice of available tools. In this work, an application for automated setup and processing of free energy calculations is presented. Several sanity checks for assessing the reliability of the calculations were implemented, constituting a distinct advantage over existing open-source tools. The underlying workflow is built on top of the software Sire, SOMD, BioSimSpace and OpenMM and uses the AMBER14SB and GAFF2.1 force fields. It was validated on two datasets originally composed by Schrödinger, consisting of 14 protein structures and 220 ligands. Predicted binding affinities were in good agreement with experimental values. For the larger dataset the average correlation coefficient Rp was 0.70 ± 0.05 and average Kendall’s τ was 0.53 ± 0.05 which is broadly comparable to or better than previously reported results using other methods.
Shallow Distance Dependence for Proton-Coupled Tyrosine Oxidation in Oligoproline Peptides
Authors: Koronkiewicz Brian , Swierk John R. , Regan Kevin P. , Mayer James
Published: February 2020

We have explored the kinetic effect of increasing electron transfer distance in a biomimetic, proton coupled electron transfer system (PCET). Biological electron transfer is often simultaneous with proton transfer in order to avoid the high-energy, charged intermediates resulting from the stepwise transfer of protons and electrons. These concerted proton electron transfer (CPET) reactions are implicated in numerous biological electron transfer pathways. In many cases, proton transfer is coupled to long-range electron transfer. While many studies have shown that the rate of electron transfer is sensitive to the distance between the electron donor and acceptor, extensions to biological CPET reactions are sparse. The possibility of a unique electron transfer distance dependence for CPET reactions deserves further exploration, as this could have implications for how we understand biological electron transfer. We therefore explored the electron transfer distance dependence for the CPET oxidation of tyrosine in a model system. We prepared a series of metallopeptides with a tyrosine separated from a Ru(bpy)32+ complex by an oligoproline bridge of increasing length. Rate constants for intramolecular tyrosine oxidation were measured using the flash-quench transient absorption technique in aqueous solutions. The rate constants for tyrosine oxidation decreased by 125-fold with three added prolines residues between tyrosine and the oxidant. By comparison, related intramolecular ET rate constants in very similar constructs were reported to decrease by 4-5 orders of magnitude over the same number of prolines. The observed shallow distance dependence for tyrosine oxidation is proposed to originate, at least in part, from the requirement for stronger oxidants, leading to a smaller hole transfer tunneling barrier height. The shallow distance dependence observed here and extensions to distance dependent CPET reactions have far-reaching implications for long-range charge transfers
A Boron-Boron Double Transborylation Strategy for the Synthesis of gem-Diborylalkanes
Authors: Docherty Jamie , Nicholson Kieran , Dominey Andrew P , Thomas Stephen
Published: February 2020

9-Borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (H-B-9-BBN) has been used as a catalyst for the sequential double hydroboration of alkynes with pinacolborane (HBpin) to give alkyl gem-di-pinacol boronic esters. This strategy, which is effective for a wide range of terminal alkynes, is predicated upon a key C(sp3)-B / B-H transborylation reaction. Transition-state thermodynamic parameters and 10-boron-isotopic labelling experiments are indicative of an σ-bond metathesis exchange pathway.
Nickel-Catalyzed Three-Component Olefin Reductive Dicarbofunctionalization to Access Highly Functionalized Alkylborates
Authors: Wang Xiao-Xu , Lu Xi , He Shi-Jiang , Fu Yao
Published: February 2020

We report a three-component olefin reductive dicarbofunctionalization for constructing densely functionalized alkylborates, specifically, nickel-catalyzed reductive dialkylation and alkylarylation of vinyl boronates with a variety of alkyl bromides and aryl iodides. This reaction exhibits good coupling efficiency and excellent functional group compatibility, providing convenient access to the late-stage modification of complex natural products and drug molecules. Combined with versatile alkylborate transformations, this reaction could also find applications in the modular and convergent synthesis of complex, densely functionalized compounds.

Rationalizing the diverse reactivity of [1.1.1]propellane through sigma-pi-delocalization
Authors: Sterling Alistair , Durr Alexander , Smith Russell C. , Anderson Edward , Duarte Fernanda
Published: February 2020

[1.1.1]Propellane has gained increased attention due to its utility as a precursor to bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) – motifs of high value in pharmaceutical and materials research – by addition of nucleophiles, radicals and electrophiles across its inter-bridgehead C–C bond. However, the origin of this broad reactivity profile is not well-understood. Here, we present a comprehensive computational study that attributes the omniphilicity of [1.1.1]propellane to a moldable, delocalized electron density, characterized by the mixing of the inter-bridgehead C–C bonding and antibonding orbitals. Reactions with anions and radicals are facilitated by stabilization of the adducts through sigma-pi-delocalization of electron density over the cage, while reactions with cations involve charge transfer that relieves Pauli repulsion inside the cage. These results provide a unified framework to rationalize propellane reactivity, opening up opportunities for the exploration of new chemistry of [1.1.1]propellane and related strained systems.

ABCG2 Polymorphism in Hyperuricemia associated Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension Patients
Authors: Swarnalatha J C  , Amar Nagesh Kumar G  , Vijaya Rachel K
Published: February 2020

Hyperuricemia is one of those syndromes that is highly inherited similar to obesity and body weight. There are many ongoing types of research in connection to the genetic inheritance of hyperuricemia. Existing studies have found out that, abnormal production of SNP rs2231142 of ABCG2gene, that belongs to the ATP-Binding cassette family, is responsible for the increased uric acid levels. Studies have proved that genetic polymorphism on the Q141K and V12M variants of the ABCG2 gene is responsible for the abnormal uric acid levels. Hence, people carrying these alleles are more likely to develop hyperuricemia. However, the extent of association of ABCG2 and hyperuricemia was found to vary with ethnicity. So, we have selected the same SNP rs 2231142 of the variants Q141K, in order to establish the theory of hyperuricemia variation with ethnicity. Here we want to study the significance of ABCG2 polymorphism in hyperuricemia patients suffering from type 2 diabetes and hypertension in the district of Srikakulam in South India. The aim of the present study was to find an association of novel ABCG2 gene with hyperuricemia in Srikakulam population attending GEMS&H, who are diagnosed as hyperuricemic and are suffering from type 2 diabetes and hypertension for more than 5 years. The study population is selected based on the disease conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes. A total of 100 subjects were involved. Genomic DNA is extracted from the whole blood and gene polymorphism was identified by PCR and RFLP. Hyperuricemia was positively associated with age, obesity and alcoholism. The SNP locus rs2231142 of the ABCG2 gene was found to be associated with hyperuricemia and found significant in obese alcoholic men who are suffering from type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

Protecting Creativity: Why Moral Rights Should be Extended to Sound Recordings under New Zealand Copyright Law
Authors: Wood Nicholas Stuart
Published: February 2020

Traditionally, moral rights have not extended to the creators of sound recordings under either common law or civil law systems. The somewhat outdated rationale of this exclusion of sound recordings from the ambit of moral rights protection was generally that sound recordings were merely mechanical reproductions of already existing musical works, and hence the recordings lacked sufficient creativity to make them worthy of moral rights protection. In 1996, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty sought to remedy this anomaly in copyright law by extending the moral rights of paternity and of integrity to performers whose performances are fixed in sound recordings.This paper argues that New Zealand should follow WIPO's lead and extend the moral rights provisions of the Copyright Act 1994 to sound recordings. The author argues that sound recordings are imbued with sufficient creativity to merit moral rights protection and that this protection should be granted not only to performers but to sound engineers and producers, who also contribute creatively to the recording. This paper examines how moral rights in relation to sound recordings might work in practice and what remedies should be available for breach of these rights. The author concludes that the extension of moral rights to sound recordings need not impact detrimentally on the music industry, as some commentators fear.

Published: February 2020

If we share a common ancestor, is it not reasonable to suppose the existence of common ancestral laws — at least at some point in our distant past? This paper proposes an (irreverent) evolutionist revision of John Austin's classification of law. In short, what if, instead of living next door to Jeremy Bentham, Austin had lived next door to Charles Darwin? How would that environment have changed Austin's analysis in The Province of Jurisprudence?
Civil Law and Common Law: Two Different Paths Leading to the Same Goal
Authors: Pejovic Caslav
Published: February 2020

"There are many ways to skin a cat".While there are many legal issues which are dealt with in the same way by the civil law and Common Law systems, there remain also significant differences between these two legal systems related to legal structure, classification, fundamental concepts and terminology. This paper does not deal with theoretical examination of differences between the common law and the civil law, but focuses rather on various distinctive features of civil law and common law, with several illustrations of resulting differences in both substantive law and procedural law. These differences are not examined in detail as they should serve only as illustration of those differences. The paper does not enter into polemic as to which legal system is better and what are the advantages of common law or of civil law. The purpose of this short study is simply to highlight some of the main conceptual differences between common law and civil law systems, and to explore the possibilities of reconciling of some of those differences.
"Strangers in the House": The Maori Language in Government and the Maori Language in Parliament 1840-1900
Authors: Parkinson Phil
Published: February 2020

The Treaty of Waitangi conferred upon Her Majesty's new subjects "all the rights andprivileges of British subjects" and that included, in theory, the right to be represented in the infantgovernment. In practice, however, the right of Maori to vote in elections was not taken seriouslyuntil 1858 and the presence of formally elected members in the House of Representatives was not achieved until August 1868. When they did speak in 1868 the first four Maori members spoke inMaori, and no adequate provision was made for the translation of their words, or for the words ofother members to be translated for them. The proceedings of the House were not printed in Maoriand the Maori members' speeches were not translated except when it suited the government of theday.Over the next few decades after 1868 there was only an irregular compliance with the standingorders of the House of Representatives and the Legislative Council that Bills and Acts be prepared inboth Maori and English for the better information of "Her Majesty's subjects of the Native Race".This study traces the extent of the use of the Maori language in the House and in the Council andpoints to a large number of extant Bills and Acts in Maori as well as to the large number whichhave not survived but which are referred to in the New Zealand parliamentary debates. These little-known texts deserve recognition as expressions of legislation in an indigenous tongue reflectingindigenous concerns but they have usually been disregarded in a European-dominated GeneralAssembly.
Comment on Civil Law and Common Law: Two Different Paths Leading to the Same Goal
Authors: Nottage Luke
Published: February 2020

This article discusses civil and common law in the context of Caslav Pejovic's article of the same name. Pejovic noticed a trend where common law was increasingly hemmed in by legislation while law jurisdictions were increasingly reliant on precedent set by the courts. Pejovic therefore called for the unification of private law globally. Nottage then explores how different academics approached a potential convergence/divergence dichotomy within civil and common law. The article suggests that a "middle ground" dimension between convergence and divergence is a possible development. The author ultimately advocates for the middle ground dimension as it provides socio-economic context for laws, as well as promoting exegesis in statutory and case analysis. The author thus concludes that convergence and divergence are both valuable.
Les Principes Directuers du Driot Foncier Polynésien
Authors: Calinaud René
Published: February 2020

En Polynésie Française, les coutumes fonciÃ¨res, phénomÃ¨ne évolutif, n'ont pas été codifiées ni mÃªme recensées précisément et leur contenu supposé demeure incertain et nébuleux. De plus, si ce territoire se trouve dans un état de droit déterminé par son appartenance Ã  la République française, le droit foncier polynésien écrit n’apparaissant que dans le courant du 19e siÃ¨cle, les rÃ¨gles juridiques n’y sont pas strictement les mÃªmes qu'en métropole. A cela s’ajoute que les modes de vie socio-économique, caractérisés par une l’indivision prolongée sur plusieurs générations, diffÃ¨rent de ceux en vigueur en France. Si l’établissement des droits fonciers en Polynésie Française, nécessite souvent de remonter jusqu'au titre initial (le Tomite), il reste que le droit actuel positif, émanation Ã  titre principal du Code civil, entre aussi en conflit avec les survivances coutumiÃ¨res.
More on Democratic Fundamentals in Solomon Islands: Minister for Provincial Government v Guadalcanal Provincial Assembly
Authors: Brown Kenneth , Corrin Care Jennifer
Published: February 2020

In 1997 the High Court of Solomon Islands delivered its decision in Guadalcanal Provincial Assembly v The Speaker of National Parliament, 1 declaring void the Provincial Government Act 1996, 2 on the basis that several parts of that measure were unconstitutional. That decision was considered 3 and criticised 4 in an earlier article. The Court of Appeal allowed an appeal against that judgment. This paper examines the Court of Appeal's decision and comments on its significance for Solomon Islands and the South Pacific region generally. In particular, it considers the extent of state legislative power, the role of a preamble, and the human rights implications for women.

2002: A Justice Odyssey
Authors: Economides Kim
Published: February 2020

Professor Economides, 2002 Chapman Tripp visiting fellow, overviews research on the supply side of the access to justice equation. Economides argues that the justice equation is based on the nature of supply and demand for legal services and the nature of the claim that clients wish to bring to a legal forum. However, the access to justice theme is moved beyond the supply side and into questions regarding the quality of the access provided suggesting that there is a need to explore the understandings of justice held by members of the legal profession and legal ethics, and the role that law schools and legal education have in formulating these.

The Compensation Scheme No One Asked For: The Origins of ACC in New Zealand
Authors: McKenzie Peter
Published: February 2020

The vision laid down in the 1967 Royal Commission Report was radical in scope and quickly became controversial. Led by its Chairman, Sir Owen Woodhouse, the Commission presented a series of connected principles to support that vision, drawing from earlier critiques of the common law system in New Zealand and abroad. This paper explores the legal background in New Zealand prior to the Woodhouse Report and reviews prior movement toward reform, including submissions made by members of the Victoria University Law Faculty. It also describes opposition to the Report from members of the bar and other interest groups, but suggests reasons why the Woodhouse framework was nonetheless able to prevail.
Imaginar la posibilidad

Published: February 2020

Tucumán Arde fue un proyecto desarrollado entre Rosario, Tucumán y Buenos Aires, por el Grupo de Artistas de Vanguardia en 1968 que interpelaba a la acción ante la situación de desamparo y pobreza que afrontaba la población de Tucumán tras el desmantelamiento de la industria azucarera. Con ello, el proyecto expandió los límites convencionales de la práctica artística accionando colectivamente una forma de involucrarse en la realidad desde el arte. Silenciado en su momento por la dictadura y posteriormente olvidado, Tucumán Arde se considera paradigma de arte político, conceptual y social. Además de las características especificas de Tucumán Arde en su dimensión de posicionamiento y como práctica artística y de Arte Útil, nos interesaba revisitarlo como caso de estudio sobre las practicas activistas, los riesgos y consecuencias que las integran, el papel de la educación, así como la importancia de potenciar archivos vivos. Esta entrevista es extracto de una serie de conversaciones llevadas a cabo entre Junio y Diciembre de 2018.
Things that white men have in great quantity: Chickens and other exotic birds among Karitiana (Rondônia, Brazilian Amazon)
Authors: Vander Velder Felipe
Published: February 2020

This article discusses the inclusion of domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus, Linnaeus 1758) and other exotic bird species as part of the knowledge and practices related to birds (an ethnoornithology) among the Karitiana, a Tupi-Arikém-speaking indigenous people in the northern part of the state of Rondônia, in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon . Chickens are believed to have been introduced to the Amazon basin after contact with non-indigenous population, although this claim is controversial . They were initially associated with certain native birds . However, certain remarkable characteristics of these birds soon sparked reflection through which the species was gradually distinguished from the birds of the forest . These reflections influence how the Karitiana currently relate to chickens, which includes raising them in the villages, a practice encouraged by public policies related to food production, security, and sovereignty .

A new 1D Cd(II) complex [Cd(L-pheA)(Ac)]n (1) where the L-pheA– anion stands for the chiral ligand (L-phenylalanine hydroxamic acid) is synthesized and characterized. The single crystal X-ray analysis reveals that each Cd(II) atom is coordinated by three L-pheA– ligands and two acetate anions in a distorted seven-coordinated pentagonal bipyramidal configuration. By the interactions of two N—H⋯O and one N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds a 2D supramolecular network is formed. The solid-state luminescent properties of complex 1 are observed.

Методом рентгеновской дифракции исследована кристаллическая структура новых солевых форм известных азотсодержащих фармацевтических субстанций: дакарбазина, метоклопрамида и ацетилхолина, в качестве противоиона в которых выступает 1,1,2,3,3-пентацианопропенид-анион. Установлено, что в кристаллах исследованных солей с дакарбазином (в виде моногидрата) и метоклопрамидом указанный анион выполняет роль структуроформирующего спейсера, связываясь более чем c одним катионом посредством классических водородных связей. Выявлен тип локализации катионов и анионов в исследованных солях, а именно: слоевой в кристаллах с дакарбазином, стопочный с чередованием катионов и анионов в кристаллах с метоклопрамидом и окруженные катионами колонны анионов в кристаллах с ацетилхолином. Обнаружена склонность пентацианопропенид-аниона к разупорядочению в кристаллах солей метоклопрамида и ацетилхолина.

Nowadays, vehicles are being abandoned by their users due to their high fuel consumption which had not been studied by the user from the start. Thus, the need to study the fuel consumption of vehicles due to one of the factors which greatly affects it; drag force, so as to produce information which vehicle users can have before purchasing their vehicles. With regards to this, this work is focused on the development of a computer program able to evaluate the fuel consumption of light vehicles. To achieve this, the basic equations of consumption are used to arrive at a mathematical relation between drag force and fuel consumption. This mathematical model is further implemented on the analytical software Matlab in order to produce the various consumption curves of the vehicles case study. A simulator which takes into consideration a vehicle’s engine data in order to produce specific consumption curves and provide valid information on the fuel consumption of the vehicle is developed from this mathematical model. It can be used in automotive construction companies and also by any individual.

The consumption of fuel in vehicles depends on many factors such as the state of the roads, the state of the engine and the driver’s behavior. A mathematical model for evaluating vehicle fuel consumption on a 100 km interval at standard operating weather conditions was developed. This mathematical model developed took into consideration many factors, but the main factors were those related to weather conditions and temperature. Here a new simulation program for determining the influence of temperature and weather conditions on fuel consumption is built using the software Matlab. For efficient simulations the model uses a set of data for an SUV and then makes varying only the parameters that are related to weather and temperature for the simulation. During the simulation process, a set of 10 vehicle models and 8 roads conditions were chosen to run down the simulations and only the parameters of temperature, the drag coefficient and coefficient of rolling resistances respectively were subjected to variations during each of the simulations. Upon simulation, different results were obtained for the different parameters considered. For every 15% drop in temperature, 0.1litre, 0.12litre and 0.04litre increase in fuel consumption for the set of parameters chosen was noticed. These results were analyzed and interpreted with the help of Microsoft Excel and were found to be satisfactory given that it permits manufacturers and car users to have a notion of the impact of ambient temperature and weather conditions on fuel consumption, thereby promoting optimum usage of fuel, hence reducing the effect of greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere.

A cultura da soja é uma das principais culturas do agronegócio brasileiro, podendo ser limitada por adubações equivocadas em área de cerrado. Com o presente trabalho, objetivou avaliar a dinâmica da adubação fosfatada, pelo uso de fontes e doses na adubação de manutenção da cultura da soja, em solo com alto teor de P, verificando a real eficácia do uso do superfosfato triplo de eficiência aumentada. O experimento foi realizado em delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial de 2x5, sendo o primeiro fator fontes de fertilizantes (superfosfato triplo e superfosfato triplo de eficiência aumentada) e segundo fator doses de P2O5 (0, 40, 80, 120 e 240 kg ha-1). O experimento foi conduzido em área experimental, em Rio Verde, GO, buscando-se avaliar as influências nas características de componentes de produção e produtividade da soja, na fertilidade do solo, concentrações nutricionais dos grãos de soja colhidos e a dinâmica do P no solo. Constatou-se que a cultura da soja não respondeu à adubação fosfatada, em solo com alto teor de P. A adubação fosfatada influenciou os teores de P, S, Cu e Fe do solo e nas concentrações de N e Fe dos grãos colhidos. Para a adubação fosfatada, recomenda-se o uso do Superfosfato triplo convencional na dose de 75 kg ha-1 de P2O5.
