title: Lower Basal Temperature and Thermal Sum of the Arugula in Conventional and Hydroponic Production Systems

description: Abstract Among the environmental factors that influence plant growth, one of them is the air temperature. The plant growth rate can be determined through its lower basal temperature (Tb), which corresponds to the temperature below which the leaf expansion rate is negligible or occurs in a reduced way. This work aimed to determine Tb and the thermal sum (ST) of the ‘Rococó’ arugula during the time period comprising germination and harvest in conventional and hydroponic production system. The experiment took place in Florianópolis, from April 2018 to March 2020, totalizing five and seven harvests in the conventional and hydroponic production system, respectively. The Tb was obtained by using the average of three methods, namely: least standard deviation in days, relative development and the regression coefficient. With the Tb value, the thermal sum (ST) was determined using the simplified degree-day method for each harvest. From the ST determined values, an average was obtained to establish the ST of the arugula. During the period comprising germination and harvest, considering the conventional and hydroponic production systems, obtained values of Tb were respectively 4,4 and 3,6 °C whereas the ST were 559 and 490 accumulated degree-day.

title: Rain Characterization of Catolé do Rocha Micro-Region in the State of Paraíba Based on Applied Statistics

description: Abstract Rainfall series obtained from 1910 to 2016 in eleven locations over Catolé do Rocha region, State of Paraíba, Brazil, have been analyzed to draw a better climate profile of the region. For this, the Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI) and additional statistical tools were used. The results obtained suggest that the variability in rainfall, humidity patterns, as well as in normal, wet, dry periods, and their extremes, are in connection with the years of El Niño and La Niña. The pluviometric regime has been characterized by irregularities with a significant trend of decreasing rainfall in the period considered. The logistic probability distribution adequately represents the region's rainfall, with a p-value of 0.994 for a significance level of 0.05.

title: Remote ischemic conditioning protects against testicular ischemia∕reperfusion injury in rats

description: Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effect of remote ischemic conditioning associated to N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on testicular ischemia∕reperfusion (I∕R) injury in rats. Methods Twenty-five adult male Wistar rats were randomly distributed into five experimental groups (n=5), as follows: Sham, I∕R, Perconditioning (PER), NAC and PER+NAC. Two-hour ischemia was induced by rotating the left testis 720° to clockwise direction, followed by 4 hours of reperfusion. Perconditioning was performed by three I/R cycles of 10 min each on the left limb, 30 min before reperfusion. N-acetylcysteine (150 mg∕kg) was administered 30 min before reperfusion. Results Statistical differences were observed in MDA levels between I/R group with all groups (p&lt;0.01), in addition there was statistical difference between PER and Sham, and PER+ NAC groups (p&lt;0.05) in plasma. Conclusions The protective effect of perconditioning isolated in the reduction of lipid peroxidation related to oxidative stress was demonstrated. However, when Perconditioning was associated with NAC, there was no protective effect against testicular injury of ischemia and reperfusion.

title: Assessment of the Water Budget in Madeira River Basin Simulated by the Eta Regional Climate And MGB Large-Scale Hydrological Models

description: Abstract Downscaling climate simulation for present climate (1960-2005) based on the Eta Regional Climate Model and MGB Large-scale Hydrological Model, forced by Brazilian Model of the Terrestrial System (BESM-AO 2.5), was carried out. The objective of this work is assessment the performance of the Eta regional model and MGB-IPH in the representation of the components of the water budget in Madeira River basin. The moisture sink characteristic (P&gt; E) was simulated by the regional model. In the terrestrial branch, the MGB-IPH hydrological model was able to represent the annual cycle of discharge, water level and floodplain inundation. The performance of the hydrological model and the regional model was satisfactory in the simulation of the seasonal dynamics of hydrological processes and water budget in Madeira river basin, indicating that the hydrological model is a useful tool for studies of climatic variability, changes in climate and land use and for hydrological forecasting operational systems in the Amazon basin.

title: Thermal Structure Evolution of a Tropical Cyclone and its Extratropical Transition: Talim Case

description: Abstract The scientific community has long considered the existence of only two types of surface synoptic scale cyclones, tropical and extratropical, based on their genesis area. The Cyclone Phase Space (CPS) methodology developed by Hart in the early 2000s made it clear that these are not the only existing types of cyclone, but instead there is a continuum, and therefore cyclones can evolve from one type to another. Given this context, the objective of this study is to describe the synoptic evolution of the transition of cyclone Talim, which had genesis as a tropical cyclone and decayed as an extratropical cyclone. This system developed in the west of the North Pacific Ocean on September 10, 2017. Through the CPS, four phases of Talim's life cycle were selected: tropical cyclone, beginning of extratropical transition, end of transition and extratropical cyclone phase. The transition phase was marked by the beginning of the interaction of the tropical system with a baroclinic region, while the end of the transition occurred when the system acquired a cold core and had frontal systems associated.

title: Effects of oxidative stress on liver, brain and spinal cord of rats using L-NAME and treated with hydroxyurea. A model of sickle cell complication

description: Abstract Purpose: To analyze the serum levels of nitric oxide and correlate them with the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in liver, brain and spinal cord of animals using L-NAME and treated with hydroxyurea. Methods: Eighteen male albino Wistar rats were divided into three groups. NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) was intraperitoneally administered to induce oxidative stress. TBARS and plasma nitric oxide levels were analyzed in all groups. Histopathology of the liver and vascular tissue was performed. Results: Statistically significant differences were seen in liver, brain and spinal cord TBARS levels. Conclusions: Following the use of L-NAME, hepatic tissue increased the number of Kupffer cells as oxidative stress and inflammatory response increased. The use of L-NAME caused an increase in lipid peroxidation products and, consequently, in oxidative stress in animals. Hydroxyurea doses of 35 mg / kg / day reduced TBARS values in liver, brain and spinal cord.

title: Poly (Lactic Acid) membrane and Sedum dendroideum extract favors the repair of burns in rats

description: Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the healing potential of the electrospinning membranes of Poly (Lactic Acid) (PLA) associated with Sedum dendroideum extract in burn injuries in rats. Methods: Seventy-five rats were submitted to burn injury on their back skin: (C) untreated; (F) with daily topical application of S. dendroideum extract; (M) with electrospinning membranes of PLA; (MF10) with electrospinning membranes of PLA with 10% S. dendroideum extract; (MF25) with electrospinning membranes of PLA with 25% S. dendroideum extract. Tissue samples were taken after 2, 6 and 14 days of the burn injury and were subjected to histomorfometric analysis of quantification of fibroblasts, collagen fibers, blood vessels, and inflammatory infiltrate Results: The histomorphometric analysis showed an increase in the number of fibroblasts, collagen fibers and blood vessels in the burns treated with membranes of PLA, associated or not with the 10% and 25% extract. The extract of S. dendroideum promoted the increase of collagen fibers. Conclusion: The electrospinning PLA membrane, isolated or associated with the S. dendrodeum extract, favored the healing of burn injuries in this experimental model, with an increase of fibroblasts, collagen fibers, and blood vessels. S. dendroideum isolated only stimulated the collagenesis.

title: Numerical Wind Forecast at Mesoscale and Short Term for José Martí International Airport in Havana

description: Abstract At the “José Martí” International Airport in Havana (MUHA), the level of accuracy presented by wind direction forecasts is close to 70%, they do not meet the requirements established by the aeronautical regulations which effectiveness must be higher than 85%. Therefore, a numerical forecast of the wind field was implemented at mesoscale, in a short term, using the WRF-NMM and Consistent Mass models that are aimed to improve the forecast made by the Ogimet, a wind forecast numerical tool used in the MUHA. It was experimented with different interpolation methods; the best results were obtained on the natural neighbor with the correction of Consistent Mass model. A computational tool was developed which provided the numerical wind field forecasts for the MUHA corresponding to the 0000, 0600, 1200 and 1800 UTC which have a greater ability than the Ogimet and with an effectivity of 91% for numerical forecast of the wind field.

title: A Comparison Between the Atmospheric Component of HWRF System and WRF-HWRF Model Using Different Horizontal Resolutions in Hurricane Irma (2017) Simulation. Part I

description: Abstract A study of several configurations of numerical forecast models was conducted to evaluate their skill to forecast tropical cyclones track and intensity. For this, four configurations of the horizontal domain were selected with 27-9 and 18-6 km of resolution for HWRF (Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model) and four configurations for the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting Model), using the dynamic core NMM (Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model) with the vortex tracker option. Simulations corresponding to Hurricane Irma were done from 1st to 12th September 2017, initialized with GFS (Global Forecast System) forecast outputs. No notable differences were observed between the eight configurations, although the forecast of the intensity of Hurricane Irma was deficient, with an error in the forecast of the maximum wind speed above 50 km/h. The comparison of the outputs of each configuration with buoys and surface meteorological stations data showed that the behavior of the wind speed and atmospheric pressure variables has a similar tendency to the registered values in the stations, with errors lower than 3.8 m/s for wind speed and 3 hPa for atmospheric pressure. HWRF 18-6-m (referred to the model and the horizontal domain resolution) was the configuration that showed the best ability for tropical cyclones forecast, although it require large time to compute.

title: Investigation of the role of rosmarinic acid treatment in regulating inflammation, cell damage, and angiogenesis in rat ovarian torsion and detorsion models

description: Abstract Purpose To investigate the protective effect of rosmarinic acid (RA) in ovarian ischemia/reperfusion injury using biochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical methods. Methods Wistar female rats (n = 32) were randomly divided into four groups: control, ischemia, ischemia-reperfusion, and ischemia-reperfusion with RA. Rosmarinic acid was given at a dose of 50 mg/kg by oral gavage three hours after reperfusion. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were determined in the ovary tissue homogenates for each rat. Results In the ischemia-reperfusion with RA group, the epithelial cells are regularly regulated at the periphery, and the degenerative changes in preantral and antral follicle cells are reduced. Follicle cells and cells in the corpus luteum showed a decrease in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, while VEGF demonstrated a positive reaction in vascular endothelial cells and stromal cells. The TNF-α expression due to the decreased degenerative effect and inflammation was positive in the macrophage cells. The expression of caspase-3 as an apoptosis change was negative in antral follicle cells and granular cells around the antral follicle. Conclusion Different doses of RA may be useful in preventing ischemic damage after vascularization, inflammation, and apoptotic development after ischemia/reperfusion.
