title: Respiratory, audiologic and cytogenetic alterations in workers of a shipyard in Rio de Janeiro: case study

description: Abstract Introduction This study evaluated respiratory, audiological and cytogenetic alterations in shipyard workers in Angra dos Reis, state of Rio de Janeiro/Brazil, and their correlation to the occupational exposure of painters to solvents, metals and noise present. Methods We evaluated pulmonary function, hearing loss and speech recognition, as well as cytogenetic alterations. Indicators of exposure to lead and manganese in blood were evaluated by atomic absorption spectrometry. The determination of ALAD and ALA-U was performed by spectrophotometry and liquid chromatography, respectively. Results Six of the 9 workers evaluated for lung function had respiratory functional impairment. Almost 70% of the 18 evaluated workers had reduced hearing, with association between PAIR and values of lead in blood. The average percentage of recovery of ALAD was 32.9%; average was 1.7 mg g-1 creatinine for ALA-U, 4.65 µg dL-1 for Pb-B and 10 µg L-1 for Mn-B. We observed associations between activated ALA-D with Mn-B and the presence of chromosomal aberrations. Furthermore, we identified cytogenetic alterations as aneuploidy, premature centromere separation; as well as ring formation, breakage, and sister chromatid union. Conclusion Shipyard workers presented alterations that can be associated with occupational exposure.

title: Conservation of the rice bran for silage with different levels of hydration and addition of cornmeal

description: SUMMARY A study was carried out to evaluate the addition of cornmeal (FMI) at different hydration degrees to rice bran, as a strategy for its conservation by silage (FAR). Five relations of FAR and FMI were used: 10:0; 9:1; 8:2; 7:3 and 6:4, combined with five hydration levels: 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% over initial weight, performing a 5×5 factorial design with four replications. In parallel, were prepared four similar silos only with FAR, without hydration (control silos). After 120 days of storage, the pH, titratable acidity, acidity index, fungi index, and water activity (Aw) were evaluated. The temperature (regarding to verify the aerobic stability) and the pH were determined at 24, 48 and 120 hour after opening. Interactions were observed for pH at opening time, titratable acidity, acid index and fungi index. No interactions were observed with Aw. The inclusion of 40% of cornmeal and 42.3% water improved the silage pH at opening and 43,6% improve the silage pH at 24 hours after opening. However, after 48 h of opening, all silages were inappropriate for consumption, the addition of cornmeal accelerated the deterioration of silage. Only on the control silos, the peroxidation process was observed. Then, the use of silage method for preserving the quality of rice bran was promising as a tool to reduce peroxidation independent of hydration level. We recommended for silage rice bran the inclusion of FMI 40% and 42.3% of water to optimize the pH in the opening.

title: Steps for biomodel acquisition through addtive manufacturing for health

description: ABSTRACT The use of rapid prototyping in medical and dental fields consists of three-dimensional models using Computer Aided Design systems and Computer Aided Manufacturing systems. Such systems focus specifically on enhanced 3D visualization tools that provide a precise preoperative planning opportunity through three-dimensional printing, to the professional. The objective of this study was to describe the main steps in the biomodel manufacturing using an Objet 3D printer (CONNEX 350), whose raw material is a light-curing resin. The steps are adopted by researchers from three-dimensional technologies laboratory (LT3D), of the Center for Strategic Technologies in Health (NUTES), from the State University of Paraíba (UEPB), Brazil. It begins with the acquisition of tomographic images that are processed through specific software and exported to the digital Stereo lithography (STL) format. The additive manufacturing technique is Stereo lithography, which consists in the construction of biomodel by photopolymerization of a liquid epoxy resin using ultraviolet radiation. The biomodel that comes from this process was brought to a pressurizing machine to remove the resin support, washing it with water jets. After this step, this biomodel was sent to the health professional in charge. The use of biomodels constitutes a major breakthrough in the area of Dentistry, allowing more precise diagnosis by professionals, simulation and surgical planning, previous adaptation of biomaterials and orthoses, as well as interaction between the surgeon and the patient, thus obtaining more satisfactory aesthetic results and decreased surgical time.

title: Alternative Products for Thaumastocoris peregrinus Control and Resistance Induction in Plants

description: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of alternative insecticide on Thaumastocoris peregrinus, as well as the potential to act in the resistance induction process in plants. Leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis were immersed in the solution of Orobor®, Topneem®, Rotenat®, Rotenat CE®, Baicao®, Compostonat®, Pironat®, Assist®, garlic extract and bordeaux mixture. They were subsequently transferred to tubes containing 10 adults of T. peregrinus, assessing daily the number of dead insects. The products with insecticidal effect were tested for their potential to induce resistance, evaluating the synthesis of the phytoalexin glyceollin (pterocarpanoide) and phenylpropanoids route activation in soybean cotyledons by the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. We used water as control and chitosan (1%) as an inductor of reference. Rotenat®, Compostonat®, Rotenat CE® and Topneem® showed insecticidal effect while Rotenat CE® and Topneem® showed potential as resistance inducers, expressing significant amounts of phytoalexins and activity of PAL (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase).

title: Composted Substrate in the Production of Eucalyptus dunnii and Cordia trichotoma Seedlings

description: The substrates have influence on germination and growth of forest species seedlings. Aiming to evaluate the germination, growth and quality of Eucalyptus dunnii and Cordia trichotom seedlings on substrates obtained by composting of organic waste we conducted an experiment at UFSM, campus Frederico Westphalen, Brazil. Four substrates composting (university restaurant waste, recycling household waste, liquid cattle manure and flotation process sludge) and commercial substrate (with and without mineral fertilizer) were used. The design was completely randomized with four replications. The substrates influenced the germination rate, but did not affect the final germination percentage. Alternative substrates from waste of university restaurant waste and flotation process sludge provided greater height and diameter of E. dunni and C. trichotoma seedlings and can be used to replace the commercial substrate.

title: Real-Time Gas Turbine Model for Performance Simulations

description: ABSTRACT Industry and universities around the world invest time and money to develop digital computer programs to predict gas turbine performance. This study aims to demonstrate a brand new digital model developed with the ability to simulate gas turbine real time high fidelity performance. The model herein described run faster than 30ms per point, which is compatible with a high-definition video refresh rate: 30 frames per second. This user-friendly model, built in Visual Basic in modular structure, can be easily configured to simulate almost all the existing gas turbine architectures (single, 2 or 3 shaft engines mixed or unmixed flows). In addition, its real time capability enables simulations with the pilot in the loop at earlier design phases when their feedback may lead to design changes for improvements or corrections. In this paper, besides the model description, it is presented the model run time capability as well as a comparison of the simulated performance with a commercial gas turbine tool for single, 2 and 3 shaft engine architecture.

title: Liquidity Restrictions on Investment Funds: Are they a Response to Behavioral Bias?

description: ABSTRACT Liquidity constraints imposed to shareholders of investment funds, also known as lock-up periods, represent an alternative that managers can use to implement and maintain long-term strategies. The academic literature suggests that, as a result of liquidity constraints, funds should deliver a premium to their shareholders, and previous studies have documented this effect. Based on this context, in this paper we analyze the effect of lock-up periods on the profitability of Brazilian multimarket funds. We used a sample composed by 4,662 multimarket funds in the period from January 2009 to February 2016. The results showed a positive effect of lock-up periods on the average profitability of the funds, as well as on their risk-adjusted return. Our discussion highlights arguments that some measures taken by fund managers to protect their strategies against impulsive behaviors of funds’ investors can present a positive effect on the performance of their funds.

title: Vigor test of (strong) normal intact Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Smith seedlings

description: Abstract: The aim of this study was to adapt the vigor test methodology of (strong) normal intact seedlings of Amburana cearensis and evaluate efficiency in physiological classification of seed lots. The study was conducted in two stages: morphological characterization of seedlings and physiological analysis of seed lots. To do so, the following tests were carried out: (strong) normal seedlings, germination, emergence, first count, germination speed index, tetrazolium, length of strong normal seedlings, length and dry mass of seedlings. The experimental design was completely randomized. The Tukey and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare the results, and the correlation between the variables was analyzed by Spearman and Pearson coefficients. The seedlings of A. cearensis are semi-hypogeal phanerocotylar, with development of normal seedlings on the ninth day after sowing. The vigor test of strong normal seedlings, length of strong normal seedlings, dry matter, and tetrazolium led to physiological classification into different vigor levels. The vigor test of (strong) normal seedlings, the length of strong normal seedlings, and tetrazolium (vigor) were effective for vigor classification of A. cearensis seeds.

title: Effect of reduced water potential on seed germination of a forest tree: a hydrotime approach

description: Abstract: Hydrotime (θH) models provide information on seed tolerance to low water potential and time to germination under different conditions. Here it was evaluated the capacity of graphic and probit model to describe germination parameters and germination times (t) in a tropical legume (Peltophorum dubium). Germination tests were conducted under reduced water potentials (polyethylene glycol solutions from 0 to -1.2 MPa) at 25 °C. Regression lines were applied to investigate the relationship between germination rates (1/t) and water potential for different germination percentages (fractions 10, 30, 50 and 70%). Those regressions were used in the graphic model to calculate θH (1/slope) and determine the base water potential (Ψb) as the point which the line intercepts the x-axis (G% = 0). In the probit model, germination percentages were transformed to probit units and plotted against Ψb-values to describe germination response under a single regression line. Values for θH varied from 1.8 to 2.0 MPa day in both models, and Ψb showed a normal distribution, as presupposed by the probit model. Predicted germination times (t10 and t50) mostly fell within observed times, thus showing biological relevance of the models to describe the effects of water potential on seed germination.
