title: ANAEROBIC DIGESTION AND CO-DIGESTION OF POULTRY LITTER SUBMITTED TO DIFFERENT REUSES

description: ABSTRACT Considering the constant increase in the waste generation from poultry and pigs’ husbandries, the main contributions of this study were to verify the potential of biogas production through the anaerobic digestion and co-digestion of the residues generated by these two activities, as well as to highlight the recovery of the nutrients contained in the obtained digestate. The wastes used were poultry litters after six, seven and eight production lots, as well as the sifted wastewater from one Piglets Producer Unit (PPU). Higher biogas production (p &lt;0.05) was observed in the treatments in which anaerobic codigestion was used with the swine wastewater (SW): 0.179; 0.158 and 0.117 m3 per kg of total solids (TS) added for poultry litters with six, seven and eight lots, respectively. It was concluded that the anaerobic co-digestion between the poultry litter and sifted swine wastewater is the best option for energy and nutrient recycling. No positive relationships were observed in the increase in the number of reuses of litter in the production of biogas and in the concentration of nutrients in the digestate.

title: Hematological and immunological development from birth to six months of age in Holstein calves

description: ABSTRACT The hematological and immunological development of calves from birth to 6 months of age was performed by hemogram and cellular phenotype. Ten male Holstein calves were assessed in 13 moments: before colostrum intake (D0), every 2 days until the 10th day of life (D2 to D10), at the 15th day after birth (D15), and then monthly up to 6 months (D180). Calves presented hemoconcentration on day (D) 0 and showed a gradual decrease in hematimetric rates until D180. The inversion of the neutrophilic for lymphocytic profile was observed on D4. The percentage of CD3+ cells on D10 was higher than D30 up to D180. The number of CD4+ and CD8+ cells did not change between time points. The number of CD21+ lymphocytes was significantly higher at early time points of D0 up to D15, compared on D30 until D150. In conclusion, the neonatal period was marked by stress leukogram in the first 4 days, and low number of B lymphocytes. These might be risk factors for bacterial infections responsible for navel inflammation and diarrhea. The increase in the number of B cells from 30 days of age demonstrated that the calves were functional and able to generate an immune response.

title: Occurrence of drugs and endocrine disrupters in raw and treatment sewage in the city of Belo Horizonte / MG, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) constantly reach water bodies through the discharge of sanitary sewage, industrial effluents and landfill leachate, inadequate disposal of solid waste and surface runoff, causing the pollution of watercourses. In general, these are in concentrations of the order of mg / L or ng / L, making it difficult to analyze or burden this process, thus requiring the development of preparation and extraction techniques. In this context, it stands out the Low Temperature Patitioning Extraction (LTPE), which is based on the partition of the analyte of interest between aqueous phase and organic phase. Bearing this and the relevance of the subject in mind, the present work had the objective of evaluating the occurrence of 16 CECs in the crude and treated sewage of Belo Horizonte / MG, by using LTPE and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry.

title: A Convergence Indicator for Multi-Objective Optimisation Algorithms

description: ABSTRACT The algorithms of multi-objective optimisation had a relative growth in the last years. Thereby, it requires some way of comparing the results of these. In this sense, performance measures play a key role. In general, it’s considered some properties of these algorithms such as capacity, convergence, diversity or convergence-diversity. There are some known measures such as generational distance (GD), inverted generational distance (IGD), hypervolume (HV), Spread (∆), Averaged Hausdorff distance (∆ p ), R2-indicator, among others. In this paper, we focuses on proposing a new indicator to measure convergence based on the traditional formula for Shannon entropy. The main features about this measure are: 1) It does not require to know the true Pareto set and 2) Medium computational cost when compared with Hypervolume.

title: THE EFFECTS OF ALKALINE FILTRATE RECIRCULATION TOWARDS THE PROPERTIES OF LONG FIBER PULPS WITH OD(EPO)DED BLEACHING SEQUENCE

description: ABSTRACT Circuit closure can reduce water consumption, but negative effects on pulp quality and equipment wear may make it unfeasible. This study aimed to evaluate how the alkaline filtrate of the recirculation stage (EP) affects bleaching, pulp quality and characteristics of the filtrates produced. Pre-delignified cellulose pulp from a mixture of three coniferous woods was used. Bleaching followed the D(EPO)DED sequence, with the addition of 5, 10 and 15 kg.odt-1 of the alkaline filtrate (EP) to the pre-O2 pulp. The physical and mechanical cellulosic pulp properties were evaluated in the control and with 10 kg.odt-1 of the alkaline filtrate. The inorganic compound accumulation in the system was evaluated in the control pulp and with 15 kg.odt-1 of the alkaline filtrate. The filtrate use increased the ClO2 consumption for bleaching and sulfuric acid and NaOH to adjust the pH of the stages. The pulp tensile index was higher and the tear index lower with the filtrate use in pulp without refinement, however the properties of refined pulp were similar between treatments. The filtrate increased the calcium, chloride, sodium and sulfate levels in the D stage and that of sodium and sulfate after the (EPO) stage. Filtrate recirculation can reduce water use, but it increases bleaching costs and metal accumulation in the system.

title: Macroscopic and histopathological analysis of partial urinary bladder allograft using allogenic adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells in rabbits

description: ABSTRACT The number of organ and tissue transplantation in humans and animals has grown significantly recently, especially after the advent of modern and safer techniques of immunosuppression. The objective of this study was to evaluate macro and microscopically partial urinary bladder fresh allograft in rabbits, using as immunomodulatory agent cyclosporine or allogenic adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs). For this purpose, 25 rabbits were used. One male was the donor of ADSCs; 24 females received a partial urinary bladder allograft and were treated with cyclosporine (GCi) or mesenchymal stem cells (GCe). We conclude that the GCe group had better histological acceptance of the implant than GCi group at 30 days evaluation.

title: Effect of Dietary Inclusion of Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and Banana Flour (Musa cavendishii) on Performance of Laying Hens

description: ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and Banana flour (Musa cavendishii) on performance of laying hens. Fifty laying hens (3 months of age) were randomly distributed into five experimental groups, each consisting of 10 laying hens. The groups were control (10 laying hens); L6 (Leucaena, 6 g/day (10 laying hens)); L8 (Leucaena, 8.0 g/day (10 laying hens)); L10 (Leucaena, 10 g/day (10 laying hens)); and L12 (Leucaena, 12 g/day (10 laying hens)), in addition, five levels of Banana flour control (10 laying hens); 25% (10 laying hens); 50%, (10 laying hens); 75% (10 laying hens); and 100% (10 laying hens), were assessed respectively. The experimental period lasted from 4 to 8 weeks. The results of this study showed that there were no significant differences between of treatments L6, L8, L10, and L12 for body weight during the first 30 days compared with the control, whereas for weight gain, statistically significant differences were observed between the control compared with the treatments L6, L8, L10, and L12 for days 10, 20 and 30 (p&lt;0.05). Additionally, statistically significant differences were found between different levels of Banana flour for weight gain (g) between the control with the levels 25, 50 75, 100%, respectively for days 20 and 30. In the case of feed intake (g) statistically significant differences were found during day 30 between the control and 100%, also between the control and levels 25, and 75%, respectively. From the results, it can be concluded that the inclusion of Leucaena and banana flour have effects on weight gain, body weight and feed intake of laying hens.

title: Diagnosis of contaminated areas by final disposal of solid waste in the municipality of Paço do Lumiar (MA), Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The final disposal of solid waste is considered a potential source of contamination and has been highlighted due to the environmental problems and socioeconomic factors that it can generate. The municipality of Paço do Lumiar, Maranhão, uses a garbage dump as a way of disposing urban solid waste, even after the deadline for the end of dumps in Brazil, as established by the National Solid Waste Policy, Federal Law No. 12,305, dated August 2, 2010. As a result, the objective of this study was to detect areas contaminated by disposal of solid waste in Paço do Lumiar, based on the Workshop Management of Contaminated Areas’ methodology, a part of the project CETESB/GTZ (1999), using the environmental compartments soil and surface water as objects of analysis. Thus, it was found that the garbage dump has contributed to the contamination of soil with heavy metals in the place of provision and 200m to its downstream, which can mean potential contamination of ground water due to the local geology and the fact that sandy soil facilitates the process of transporting contaminants. The analysis of the surface water revealed that the disposal of solid waste can contribute less than other sources of contamination, highlighting in this context those generated by the communities that occupy the basin. Therefore, as the verified contamination compromises some land uses (residential and agricultural), further studies may contemplate the remediation process of these contaminated areas according to the CTESB/GTZ (1999) material for stablishing measures to minimize this region’s environmental impacts.

title: ON THE ICONICITY OF THE Y-HANDSHAPE

description: ABSTRACT As part of a two-year research project, the study examines the diagrammatic iconicity of the Y-handshape of two non-cognate sign languages; the American Sign Language and Greek Sign Language. In a sample of sixty-four signs, and through a close reading approach, it demonstrates the association of the specific handshape with real-world referents that have simultaneously a round and angular form (e.g. cylinder, cone), or only an angular/linear shape. It also shows its historic association with the ancient traditional sign mano cornuta , addressing its metonymy in meanings relating to quantity, earth, life, loss, light and cavity.
