title: Comparison of hematological parameters between single and twin pregnancies in Dorper ewes during gestation, lambing, and postpartum

description: ABSTRACT: The hematopoietic system changes during the pregnancy to carry fetal development and maternal needs. This study compared the hematological parameters between ewes with single and twin pregnancies during gestation, delivery, and postpartum. The experiment was conducted on 60 healthy pregnant Dorper ewes that were divided into two experimental groups: Group 1 (G1), with single pregnancies (n=30), and Group 2 (G2), with twin pregnancies (n=30). Blood samples were collected from all ewes at different times: immediately before fixed-time artificial insemination (AI); on day 30, 90, 120, 130, and 140 of pregnancy; immediately after delivery; and at 24h and 48h postpartum. Statistical analysis compared the two groups at different times (P&lt;0.05). Mild, normocytic, and hypochromic anemia was detected in all ewes from AI time and throughout pregnancy from both groups, but did not prove to be of clinical relevance. In the peripartum stage (from the 140th day of pregnancy to 48h postpartum), the ewes with twin pregnancies (G2) exhibited higher erythrogram values and neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio than did ewes with single pregnancies (G1). This indicated a greater hematopoietic adaptation in the body during the development of two fetuses. Except for the eosinophil numbers, all leukogram parameters were influenced by pregnancy in a similar way in both groups, and was characterized mainly by leukocytosis with neutrophilia during peripartum due to the high presence of endogenous cortisol at delivery. Thus, these findings showed that pregnancy was a stressful physiological event that increased the leukocyte count with a slight alteration in the erythrogram of Dorper ewes.

title: Use of the REML/BLUP methodology for the selection of sweet orange genotypes

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to select superior sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) genotypes with higher yield potential based on data from eight harvests, using the residual or restricted maximum likelihood/best linear unbiased prediction (REML/BLUP) methodology. The experiment was carried out from 2002 to 2008 and in 2010 in the municipality of Rio Branco, in the state of Acre, Brazil. Analyzes of deviance were performed to test the significance of the components of variance according to the random effects of the used model, and parameters were estimated from individual genotypic and phenotypic variances. A selection intensity of 20% was adopted regarding genotypic selection, i.e., only the best 11 of the 55 genotypes tested were selected. The estimates of the genetic parameters show the existence of genetic variability and the selection potential of the studied sweet orange genotypes. The genotypic correlation between harvests is of low magnitude, except for the variable average fruit mass, and, as a reflex, there is a change in the ordering of the genotypes. Genotypes 5, 48, 19, 14, and 47 stand out as being the most productive, and, therefore, are the most suitable for selection purposes. Genotypes 14 and 47 show superior performance for the character set evaluated.

title: Panorama do setor eólico no estado do Rio Grande do Norte no período 2004-2017

description: abastrsct The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of wind energy in the state of Rio Grande do Norte between 2004 and 2017, demonstrating the state’s strength in electric power generation from wind. This objective is achieved through an extensive bibliographic survey of academic sources and websites of official wind energy organizations. Exponential growth of wind energy generation had been observed at this state. Between 2004 and 2017, installed capacity grew from 1.8 MW to 3,3625.50 MW. Rio Grande do Norte accounts for 32.72% of all wind energy generation in Brazil and for 38.95% in the Northeastern region, totaling 13.24TWh with 133 wind farms established at the state. Rio Grande do Norte has an average generation capacity factor of 44.4%, the 5th position in the Brazilian ranking, behind the states of Maranhão (68%), Bahia (48.5%), Pernambuco (48.3%), and Piauí (46.1%). Despite this, the state’s generation capacity factor is higher than the national average (42.9%) and the global average (24.7%). Although Rio Grande do Norte has experienced vertiginous growth in wind energy generation, there is much room for further growth. Federal and local governments must develop incentive policies for wind energy to ensure that Rio Grande do Norte will achieve its maximum potential of clean electricity generation at competitive costs compared to other energy sources.

title: Oat development in response to temperature

description: ABSTRACT: Temperature affects plant development therefore phyllochron has been used as a predictor for developmental events to define the time for agricultural managing practices. This study aims to evaluate changes in phyllochron and thermal sum required for flowering by oat genotypes developed at different decades at three temperature regimes; the effect of high temperature on phytomere development; and identify the development stage at the moment of meristem transition to reproductive stage. Three environments were obtained by sowing in the fall, in the spring, and under constant temperature (17oC), always at inductive photoperiod. Despite changes in nominal values small differences were found among genotypes’ phyllochron. Adding specific optimal and maximum temperatures into the growing degree days’ calculation demonstrated phyllochron stability among environments. Plant cycle length and thermal sum correlated with the number of developed phytomeres. UFRGS 078030-2 plants flowered earlier, had a small number of phytomeres, and greater tolerance to elevated temperatures than the other genotypes. More recent genotypes transit to reproductive stage at an earlier Haun stage than older ones.

title: Methods of application of indolebutyric acid and basal lesion on ‘Woodard’ blueberry cuttings in different seasons

description: Abstract Blueberry cuttings are difficult to root, so alternatives that maximize their rhizogenic potential are essential for the expansion of the crop. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the basal lesion and different methods of indolebutyric acid (IBA) on the rooting of ‘Woodard’ herbaceous cuttings, collected in two seasons. The experimental design used was completely randomized in a 3x2x2 factorial arrangement, totaling 12 treatments and five replications. The factors consisted of different ways of IBA application (talc and alcohol in the concentration of 1,000 mg L-1, and without IBA), season of collection (autumn and summer), and two types of cuttings (with and without lesion in the basal portion). Two hundred days after the beginning of the experiment, there was no significant effect of the basal lesion on the rooting of the cuttings. However, it was found that rooting is influenced by the season of collection, with greater leaf retention, dry weight, number of roots per cutting, length of roots and length of the largest root collected in summer. The application of IBA talc provided a higher percentage of rooted cuttings (61.0%) in relation to alcohol (31.0%) and control (41.0%) when collected in the autumn. There was no difference between seasons when IBA was applied with talc, however, the application with alcohol solution and the control resulted in higher percentages of rooted cuttings in the summer (70.0% and 67.0%, respectively). Summer was considered the best season to collect ‘Woodard’ blueberry cuttings, although the IBA applied with talc has increased the percentage of rooted cuttings in the autumn. The basal lesion did not promote an increase in rooting.

title: From Scotland to the Amazon: the iron rain water pipes from the Scottish foundry W. McFarlane & Co. on façades of the Historical Center in Belém, Pará, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT As a result of the Rubber Cycle, also known as “Belle Époque”, that stroke Brazil during the late 19th and early 20th century, the municipality of Belém (PA-Brazil) underwent several transformations in its urban, architectural, and social structures. This period was characterized by metal ornaments imports from European countries, modifying the architecture of the city. In this scenario, the Scottish company W. MacFarlane & Co was among the foreign companies that intensely exported cast iron goods, including a range variety of patterns and design of iron ornaments, especially water ducts in eclectic façades - still present in the city. Despite representing an important historical, technological, and architectural testimony, these water ducts are currently in danger due bad functioning, substitutions, and robbery. This research aims to document quantity, patterns, and alteration forms of the water ducts present in seven neighborhoods in Belém, including the historical center, besides discussing the ducts transformations that still occur within the urban landscape. A total of 408 ducts from 223 façades were documented in the study, indicating a great variety of patterns. The results will subside these ducts safeguard as a part of the remanent metal architectural elements from the industrialization in Belém that are disappearing through the years, as well as provide data for further research on these water ducts for scientific restoration purposes.

title: Soil carbon stock in balsa wood after fertilization strategies

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate whether balsa wood plantation and its fertilization can improve soil carbon stocks. Total carbon stocks in the soil-biomass system, at 0.0-0.30 m soil depths, were evaluated under three fertilization strategies, after three and seven years, and compared with carbon stocks from native forest and degraded pasture. At the highest fertilization level, balsa wood showed a carbon stock similar to that of the native forest (65.38 Mg ha-1) and, after seven years, it increased carbon stock by 18% in the soil, and by 42% in the soil-biomass system.
