title: Evaluation of FAO-56 Penman-Monteith Model Using Alternative Climatic Data Application to Afghanistan

description: Abstract The Penman-Monteith model with alternative and measured data in three regions of Afghanistan (Central-North- East) was discussed by estimating reference evapotranspiration (ET0). The result showed that in the high rate of ET0, the difference between ET0 that estimated using alternative and measured data could be more than 2 mm day-1 when using alternative humidity and wind data in the Central region. Because there is a windy season in the Central region only, the results seem to mean that one of the cases, the impact of the windy season on the Penman-Monteith model, has been found. The alternative solar radiation was effective in any region.

title: Quality function deployment (QFD) reveals appropriate quality of charcoal used in barbecues

description: ABSTRACT: Charcoal is an important product widely used in food preparation in many parts of the world, both in developing and developed countries. However, most of the time, the main qualitative characteristics for consumers and the environment are not considered during production. Developing energy-efficient products for food preparation has been a constant pursuit of the charcoal supply chain and the aim of this study was to interact with charcoal consumers to become conversant with and classify the characteristics suitable for barbecue use. To achieve our objectives, we used the quality function deployment (QFD) method. The qualitative needs were deployed together with a multidisciplinary team assembled through interviews with several charcoal consumers. The cause and effect factors were also determined by the Ishikawa method. The technical demands of the product had the following priority order: ease of ignition, rapid formation of embers and flames, fast preparation of grilled food, and affordability. The factors relating to raw material, labor, and methodology emerged as decisive in the quality of charcoal for barbecue, and future studies should consider incorporating the results obtained in the production of charcoal and the respective consumer analysis.

title: Barley seed coating with urease and phosphatase to improve N and P uptake

description: ABSTRACT: In this work, barley seed coating with urease and phosphatase, free and immobilized in humic acids, was studied as a tool to enhance the use efficiency of N and P by plants. The seeds were encapsulated in gels of Ca-alginate by a method that allows gelation of the polymer, containing enzymes, from the surface of seeds outward. The coating process did not affect seed germination. A pot experiment with the coated seeds was carried out. The seed coating with free enzymes increased soil ammonium-N (NH4+-N) and inorganic P up to 39 and 54 %, respectively, and up to 62 and 64 %, with the immobilized enzymes, in comparison with control pots. Seed coating improved N (47-137 %) and P (29-61 %) uptake by plants. Moreover, a synergistic response in N and P uptake with both urease and phosphatase was observed. It can be concluded that the seed coating with urease and phosphatase exerted a positive effect enhancing the use of N and P by plants, which could lead to the development of natural fertilizers, minimizing the application of chemical fertilizers.

title: Coupling WRF and NRCS-CN Models for Flood Forecasting in Paraíba do Meio River Basin in Alagoas, Brazil

description: Abstract Coupling the WRF and NRCS-CN models was assessed as a tool for a flood forecast system. The models were applied to the Paraíba do Meio River basin, located in Alagoas, Brazil. FNL (Final Analysis GFS) data provided by the Global Forecast System model were used as initial conditions for WRF. Precipitations and observed discharges were collected in data collection platforms. Nine microphysics configurations were used to optimize WRF forecast. For hydrological, the automatic calibrations, available in HMS was used to get the optimum CN model parameters. Optimized precipitations Model performance was assessed with the indicators: bias, root-mean-square error, Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient, Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient, Heidke skill score, hit rate and false alarm rate. WRF´s predictive ability for the optimum configuration was satisfactory. The NRCS-CN yielded good results. The predictive ability of the hydrological model was ranked between satisfactory and acceptable. In a flood forecasting step, the coupled model yielded Nash-Sutcliffe of 0.749 and 0.572 for Atalaia and Viçosa basins. Overall, the method showed potential for the development of a flood alert system.

title: Agrometeorological Conditioning in Lettuce Cultivars

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the adaptation of lettuce cultivars based on day-degree greenhouse methods in the Gurguéia Valley. The experiment was carried out in a protected environment, at the Federal University of Piauí - UFPI / CPCE. The experimental design was a randomized block design, with treatments of lettuce cultivars. The cultivars used were: Simpson, Bruna, Palmas and Grand Rapids - TBR. The meteorological data (air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind velocity and precipitation) were obtained in a portable weather station that was installed in the protected environment. The temperature of the air during the experiment presented maximum of 33 °C and minimum of 26 °C. The cultivars ‘Simpson’ and ‘Grand Rapids’ presented an earlier cycle (45 days), when compared to the others (52 days), both with a thermal constant (CT) of 898 °gd. The cultivars ‘Bruna’ and ‘Palmas’ showed CT = 1050 °gd. Among the evaluated cultivars, the ‘Palmas’ and ‘Bruna’ cultivars obtained adequate behavior and morphology in relation to the high regional temperatures. Thus, it is concluded that the ‘Palmas’ and ‘Bruna’ cultivars have productive potential for the region when cultivated in a protected environment.

title: A Time Series Analysis of Household Income Inequality in Brazil From 1977 to 2013

description: Abstract This study analyzes the evolution of household income inequality in Brazil from 1977 to 2013. Four quantiles are analyzed: Top 1%, Top 10%, Bottom 10%, and Bottom 50%. The novelty of our study lies in the use of time-series techniques to understand the phenomenon of income inequality. We use the Markov-switching regime change and state-space structural time series techniques. Both strategies suggest that income concentration periods in Brazil are related to low growth rates but high inflation rates. Recent inequality reduction in the shares of the Top 1% quantile can be viewed as a “back to normal” transition.

title: In vitro characterization of virulence factors among species of the Candida parapsilosis complex

description: Abstract INTRODUCTION: Candida parapsilosis complex species differ from each other with regard to their prevalence and virulence. METHODS: The hydrolytic enzyme activity, biofilm production, and adhesion to epithelial cells were analyzed in 87 C. parapsilosis complex strains. RESULTS: Among the studied isolates, 97.7%, 63.2%, and 82.8% exhibited very strong proteinase, esterase, and hemolysin activity, respectively. All the C. parapsilosis complex isolates produced biofilms and presented an average adherence of 96.0 yeasts/100 epithelial cells. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that Candida parapsilosis complex isolates showed different levels of enzyme activity, biofilm production, and adhesion to epithelial cells.

title: Orthodontic treatment with passive eruption and mesialization of semi-impacted mandibular third molar in an adult with multiple dental losses

description: ABSTRACT Objective: This article describes the orthodontic treatment performed on an adult patient with multiple dental losses. Case report: A female patient, 20 years and 4 months old, presented with the following conditions: absence of teeth #26, #35, #36 and #46; semi-impacted tooth #48; inclined molars adjacent to an edentulous space; canines and premolars in a Class II relationship; a convex profile; biprotrusion; and forced lip sealing. Results: Space in the region of tooth #26 was closed, as well the space of tooth #46; tooth #48 erupted and followed mesial movement passively; space of the region of tooth #35 was maintained for the placement of a dental implant; uprighting of tooth #37 was obtained. Aesthetic and functional goals of the treatment were achieved. Results remained stable 10 years after the end of the treatment. Conclusion: The modified helical loop could be effectively used in orthodontic mechanics to close edentulous spaces. Passive semi-impacted mandibular third molar eruption and mesialization can occur in adults when proper space is provided.

title: Impactos Macroeconômicos do Choque Fiscal de 2015: A Regularização de Despesas Públicas Não Contabilizadas

description: Resumo O trabalho analisa os impactos macroeconômicos da explicitação e regularização, ao longo de 2015, de despesas públicas não contabilizadas no passado, a partir de um modelo DSGE com setor público detalhado e calibrado para o Brasil. A gradual explicitação da existência e magnitude desses passivos fiscais configurou uma série de “choques informacionais” para os agentes privados. Resultados de simulação indicam que esses choques - e o ajuste fiscal implementado para contrabalançá-los - geraram efeitos macroeconômicos relevantes, com queda do produto e aumento da inflação, e que a protelação do ajuste - ou a adoção de um ajuste mais “brando” no curto prazo - teriam prejudicado ainda mais o desempenho econômico.

title: Alternative budburst management in Campanha Gaúcha vineyards

description: Abstract Seeking a less toxic alternative to budburst management than hydrogen cyanamide, doses of the mineral-organic product Erger® were tested in combination with calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2). The experiment was conducted in Santana do Livramento, southern Brazil, during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 growth cycles, in a ‘Merlot’ vineyard conducted in a vertical trellis system, pruned in double Guyot, with SO4 rootstock. Treatments were: Control (unsprayed); 5.0% Ca(NO3)2; 2.5% Erger® + 5.0% Ca(NO3)2; 5.0% Erger® + 5.0% Ca(NO3)2; 7.5% Erger® + 5.0% Ca(NO3)2; 3.5% Dormex® (positive control). All Erger® treatments stimulated budbreak, increasing budburst from 68% (unsprayed and calcium nitrate means) to 83% (Erger® means) in the first cycle and from 85% to 96% in the second one, with no difference among doses. Plants treated with Dormex® had budburst similar to Erger® in the first cycle (85%), but budburst in the second cycle was only 72%, possibly due to burned buds. Therefore, Erger®, in concentrations of 2.5% or more with 5% calcium nitrate, may be a promising alternative to induce budburst in regions with restrictions in cold availability.
