Deveria o Brasil investir em novos grãos para a sua alimentação? A proposta do amaranto (Amaranthus SP)
Authors: Amaya-Farfan Jaime , Marcílio Roberto , Spehar Carlos Roberto 
Published: March 2018

O gênero Amaranthus compreende várias espécies de plantas dicotiledôneas cujas folhas e sementes são regularmente consumidas como alimento em diversos países, entre os quais não se inclui o Brasil. As espécies graníferas se destacam pela vantagem da rapidez de crescimento e produção, possibilitando o cultivo em condições de escassez de umidade na fase reprodutiva. Dadas suas nobres características nutricionais, este grão se apresenta como um alimento naturalmente balanceado, com propriedades de alimento funcional. O alto valor nutritivo e as características físico-químicas da proteína fazem com que a farinha possa ser utilizada na fortificação de cardápios consumidos pelas populações de baixa e alta renda, sem distinção. As proteínas do grão de amaranto têm ainda alto potencial na elaboração de produtos farináceos isentos de glúten, o que torna este produto de grande importância na ampliação da oferta de alimentos nutritivos para portadores da doença celíaca. Considerando o conjunto de suas propriedades, muito atraentes para a agricultura familiar ou o agronegócio, além do fato da Embrapa ter adaptado cultivares ao cultivo no Cerrado, é difícil entender como o país não aderiu ainda à produção e ao consumo deste produto.

Scaling Up Highly Permeable Thin Layers Into Flow Simulation
Authors: Gomes Correia Manuel , Schiozer Denis José 
Published: March 2018

Summary
Giant reservoirs such as Lula (Santos Oil Basin, Brazil) and Ghawar (Saudi Arabia) have high-permeability intervals, known as super-k zones, associated with thin layers. Modeling these small-scale flow features in large-scale simulation models is difficult. Current methods are limited by high computational costs or simplifications that mismatch the representation of these features in simulation gridblocks. This work has two purposes: present an upscaling work flow to integrate highly laminated or interbedded reservoirs with thin, highly permeable layers in reservoir simulations through a combination of an explicit modeling of super-k layers using the Parsons (1966) formula and dual-medium flow models, and compare this method with two conventional upscaling approaches that are available in commercial software.
We use the benchmark model UNISIM-II-R (Correia et al. 2015a), a fine single-porosity grid dependent on field information from the Brazilian presalt and Ghawar oil fields, as the reference solution to compare the upscaling matching between the three methods. We compare oil recovery factor (ORF), water cut (WC), average reservoir pressure (RP), water front, and the time consumption for simulation. Our proposed Parson's dual-medium (PDP) methodology achieved better upscaling matches with the reference model and had minimal time consumption compared with the representation of super-k layers through an implicit matrix modeling by single-porosity flow models (IMP) and through the explicit representation of super-k zones in the fracture system of dual-medium flow models (DFNDP).

Published: March 2018

In this modern era, computer provides more than mere a computing machine. Game is one of the advancements made, and maze is among the popular computer games. While maze is having a simple goal to exit, creating the maze itself is a challenging matter: creating a single winding and confusing path which connects one entry and one exit. This research implements the Prim Algorithm as a maze generator. User will required to enter certain size of the maze, and the system will automatically create the grids, randoming the entry and exit, and providing the necessary weight data for the grid. The Prim Algorithm will then process the weight data, rendering a maze path. This will provide a variation of maze for each game play. Results of the research shown that maze complexity is not affected by the randoming algorithm used to distribute the grid weights, but dependent to the maze size. Another result is that the number of path walls deconstructed in an already- formed maze in order to make the correct path is carried on a certain pattern (N x N) - 1, dependent to the size of the maze (N x N).

Seam carving is a method of content aware image resizing. As solutions shortest path algorithms are used to find images seams. Seam is a horizontal or vertical path of an image that has minimum energy. There are two (2) shortest path algorithms that will be discussed in this paper. This paper contains the results of shortest path algorithms comparison between Dijkstra and Directed Acyclic Graph to see which one is better than another in case of efficiency. The precomputed and recomputed methods will be compared to find the more efficient method for executing the seam carving transformation. A web application has been built for this purpose. This web app is capable of transforming image size with seam carving method. The complexity of Dijkstra and Acyclic will be compared to find which one is better. The result is Dijkstra has been won, with the O(4V) with Acyclicis O(5V). The use of precomputed and recomputed is evaluated by the conditions. If the preparation is evaluated then recomputed is more efficient, but if the preparation is not evaluated then the precomputed method is the better one and has faster performance.

Published: March 2018

AbstractThe World Food and Agriculture Organization claims the percentage of the overall world population that will suffer from water scarcity and water stress by 2025 is estimated as 34% and 15%, respectively. Accordingly, it can be estimated that 40% of the 9.4 billion estimated world population will face water shortages by 2050. In this case, the ownership and efficient use of water stand out as common concerns for all communities in the world for today and for the future. In this research, the attitudes of consumers towards water saving were identified and factors that affect these attitudes were analysed within a sample from the Mediterranean region of Turkey. The survey was conducted through a face-to-face survey with 965 households in three Turkish provinces in 2009. SPSS statistical package was used for factor analysis to determine the affecting factors. Variables affecting water-saving decisions were reduced to seven factors via 0.792 KMO value. These seven factors explained 62.18% of the total variation in water-saving consciousness of the target group. Accordingly, it was understood that marketing policies should focus on water crisis awareness, environmental awareness, anxiety about water shortage, residential area characteristics, water pricing, the current awareness level and social willingness on reduction of water use to cope with possible problems.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) was modified with urea, thioglycolic acid and thiourea to obtain nitrogen doped activated carbon (ACN), sulfur doped activated carbon (ACS) and nitrogen and sulfur co-doped activated carbon (ACNS), respectively. The AC samples were characterized by elemental analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption, determination of the pH of the point of zero charge (pHpzc) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and tested for adsorption behaviors of Hg(II) ions. The experimental data of equilibrium isotherms fitted well with the Langmuir model. ACNS showed the highest adsorption capacity of 511.78 mg/g, increasing more than 2.5 times compared to the original ACA. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. The thermodynamic parameters of ΔH°, ΔS°, and ΔG° at 30 °C were −20.57 kJ/mol, −0.032 kJ/mol K and −10.87 kJ/mol, respectively. It was concluded that the Hg(II) ions' adsorption on ACNS was exothermic, spontaneous and physiosorptive in nature. Finally, the adsorption capacity of ACNS reduced by just 8.13% even after the sixth cycle compared to the initial cycle.
Risk Assessment in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Patients: The Long and Short of it
Authors: Benza Raymond L. , Lohmueller Lisa Carey , Kraisangka Jidapa , Kanwar Manreet 
Published: March 2018

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic and rapidly progressive disease that is characterized by extensive narrowing of the pulmonary vasculature, leading to increases in pulmonary vascular resistance, subsequent right ventricular dysfunction, and eventual death. There are currently multiple approved drugs—developed as single or combination therapies in the last few years—that have improved outcome and functionality in PAH. However, despite improvement in short-term survival with these new effective therapies, PAH remains an incurable disease with a median survival of 7 years (Figure 1).1 This chronic disease state may be characterized by morbid events such as hospitalizations that herald rapid disease progression and account for a significant disease burden (Figure 2).23 Physician ability to predict PAH disease progression is critical for determining optimal care of patients. Accurate risk assessment allows clinicians to determine the patient's prognosis, identify treatment goals, and monitor disease progression and the patient's response to treatment. Risk assessment for PAH patients should include a range of clinical, hemodynamic, and exercise parameters, performed in a serial fashion over the treatment course. Patient risk stratification can also help physicians better allocate treatment resources in settings where they are scarce. If widely adopted, risk prediction can enhance the consistency of treatment approaches across PAH practitioners and improve the timeliness of referral for lung transplantation. Hence, along with advancing PAH treatment options, comprehensive risk prediction is essential to make individualized treatment decisions in the current treatment era.
Several tools are currently available for assessing risk in PAH (Figure 3). These include the 2015 European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society pulmonary hypertension guidelines' risk variables,4 the French registry equation,5 the National Institutes of Health risk equation,6 or a risk score such as the one derived from the Registry to Evaluate Early And Long-term PAH Disease Management.1 These registries and evaluations of clinical trial sets have provided important insights into the importance of both modifiable (eg, 6-minute walk distance, functional class, brain natriuretic peptide, and nonmodifiable (eg, age, gender, PAH etiology) risk factors that predict survival. The following review explores commonly cited risk factors, both modifiable and nonmodifiable, and their implications for patient outcomes.

Background:
Endophytic fungi are microorganisms that colonize inside the plant tissues
without causing any disease symptoms. Endophytic fungi isolated from medicinal plants have emerged
as an interesting source for the isolation of bioactive compounds. In this study, we selected Calotropis
procera, a member of the Asclepiadaceae family commonly called ‘Aak’ to evaluate the antioxidant
potential of isolated endophytic fungi.
</P><P>
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity by
using different assay and phytochemical screening of endophytic fungi isolated from Calotropis procera
(leaves, stem and root).
</P><P>
Method: Crude ethyl acetate extracts of 20 different endophytic fungi isolated from Calotropis procera
were tested for their preliminary phytoconstituents presence, TPC estimation (by Folin–Ciocalteu colorimetric
assay) and antioxidant potential [1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging
assay, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) free radical scavenging assay, β-carotene-linoleic free radical
scavenging assay, metal chelating assay and xanthine oxidase inhibitory assay].

Results:
Phenols, carbohydrates, saponins, tannins, alkaloids and flavanoids were the main phytoconstituents
present in the endophytic fungi. Among the endophytes, Aspergillus nomius showed the highest
TPC [72.71±1.67 µg GAE (gallic acid equivalent) /mg dry weight of fungi] and antioxidant activity
for DPPH free radical scavenging assay (68.86±0.19%). A high positive linear correlation was found
between TPC and xanthine oxidase inhibitory assay (R2-0.890) and between TPC and DPPH free radical
scavenging assay (R2-0.839). Aspergillus and Fusarium genus species showed significant antioxidant
activity by the different assay.

Conclusion:
The present study revealed some endophytic fungi from Calotropis procera could be a
potential source of novel natural antioxidant compounds.
