title: RELEVANCE OF STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT TO RIO GRANDE BASIN MANAGEMENT

description: ABSTRACT This research aims to identify the vulnerabilities of Rio Grande basin in Minas Gerais state as well as to investigate, through technical, legal, social, and governmental aspects, the relevance of SEA as an environmental tool for the conservation and preservation of watersheds. Rio Grande basin evaluation was performed by using this following database: soil classes, land use classification, water quality index, and economic ecological index. It was performed multi-criteria decision analysis based on analytic hierarchy process methodology. 52.5% of the studied area was classified as “good” preservation condition. Alto Grande (GD1), Mortes/Jacaré (GD2) and Furnas (GD3) units did not contain significant percentages of their areas corresponding to the preservation class “very good”. In the studied area, 34.51% was classified as “medium” preservation condition, thus indicating the need for effective measures for the river basin conservation. These findings highlight the potential importance of including the SEA in the decision-making process for plans, policies and programs related to the integrated management of water resources.

title: Number line estimation strategies

description: ABSTRACT The present study had the objective to verify which strategies were used the most by 30 children, from the 2nd to the 6th grade (six students of each class), of a public school in the city of Porto Alegre/RS, in order to perform in a number line estimation task, using individual semi-structured interviews. The main objective of this study was, besides describing the main strategies, to point out those that were more frequent and/or more precise. We have found eight different strategies, ranging from simple exact counting to more complex ones, involving multiplicative proportional structures. The results have indicated that the counting strategy was the one with the highest frequency of usage, but its use wielded low accuracy. For this test, students with higher levels of formal education used more complex strategies, not yet accessible to those with less formal education, which have made possible estimates that are more accurate.

title: Reading strategies - state of art

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this text is to present a research on reading strategies balance, taking as reference the publications in three bases: theses and dissertations, congress proceedings of national events of the area and articles in periodicals. The starting point was the presence of the expression “reading strategy” in the publication’s title. After this registration, the abstract was read to analyze: the theoretical basis and the confluence (or not) between the authors, the methodology employed, among other elements.

title: Assessment of FTA card employment for Pasteurella multocida DNA transport and detection of virulence-associated genes in strains isolated from fowl cholera in the United States

description: ABSTRACT Fowl Cholera (FC) is a disease caused by Pasteurella multocida. The severity of this disease is partly caused by virulence factors. Genes encoding fimbriae, capsule, sialidases and proteins for iron metabolism may be related to P. multocida’s ability to infect the host. Besides to examining DNA for the presence of virulence genes, DNA is essential for the diagnostic and FTA cards are an alternative for genetic material transport. The study aims to evaluate the viability of P. multocida DNA transport using the cards and to detect 14 virulence genes in 27 strains isolated from FC cases in the United States by multiplex-PCR. No growth was observed in any of the FTA cards, which was essential to assess the security. Furthermore, DNA detection was possible in 100% of the samples, independent of the storage period (7 to 35 days) and temperature (4°C and 37°C). ptfA, exbd-tonB, hgbA, nanB, oma87, hyaD-hyaC, sodC, hgbB, sodA, nanH and pfhA genes were detected in more than 80% of the samples. FTA cards have proven to be a viable and safe tool for DNA transport of P. multocida. A majority of genes showed a high frequency, which was similar to strains isolated from FC cases.

title: AXENIC CULTIVATION OF Pleurotus ostreatus var. Florida IN SUPPLEMENTED SUGARCANE BAGASSE BRIQUETTES

description: ABSTRACT Articles on the applicability of briquetting to the production of mushrooms are rare. Therefore, this research provides the scientific community and, mainly, producers, unpublished technical information regarding the productive yield of oyster mushroom cultivated in sugarcane bagasse briquettes supplemented with bioproducts of cereals. In 30 days of axenic cultivation, 6 tons-force briquettes with 80% humidity resulted in higher productivity (30.4%), and generated the lowest physical volume of exhausted compound (44.8%), thus, overcoming the technical performance of the other briquetting matrices tested, and even of methods traditionally used for the preparation of substrate for P. ostreatus cultivation on a commercial scale. The conclusion is, therefore, that the axenic cultivation of P. ostreatus var. Florida in sugarcane bagasse briquettes, supplemented with bioproducts of cereals, has technically qualified as an original and efficient method for the production of high biological value protein by the recycling of agricultural residues and can therefore guarantee multiple economic benefits to the agribusiness of the oyster mushroom, in addition to allowing reduction of environmental impacts by the restricted generation of exhausted compound in the post-harvest stage.

title: Analysis of factors of production in the termination of feedlot lambs to pasture

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the performance of lambs in pasture confinement, by substituting a concentrate with different levels of the aerial part of cassava in relation to hematocrit indices. The experiment was conducted at the Sheep Technology Center using 56 Pantaneira sheep, of which 28 were male and 28 were female. For female lambs, the globular volume showed a decreasing quadratic effect, with a minimum inclusion of 10.24% PAM in the diet for a hematocrit index of 32.28. A linear effect was observed for the mean crude protein intake in the male lambs based on the diet provided and was estimated to be equivalent to 87.4% of the lambs’ final weight. In conclusion, mean crude protein consumption is most strongly correlated with the final weight of male lambs, and NDF is most strongly correlated with the final weight of female lambs, with the level of cyanide consumption influencing the average daily weight gain in female lambs. The hematocrit level of the male lambs decreased with an increase in the inclusion of the aerial part of cassava in the ration of the animals.

title: UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS OF A WEB-BASED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR POULTRY MANAGEMENT WITH SENSOR NETWORKS

description: ABSTRACT This paper presents a web-based data acquisition system developed by the LabVIEW software program for environment monitoring for poultry management. The measurement error and uncertainty analysis should be conducted accurately to maximize the reliability of this system. An algorithm was proposed for the uncertainty analysis to estimate the sensor networks, with the calibration and validation processes fulfilling the standards of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement. For the different environmental sensors, the values of the uncertainties were calculated by the methods of type A and B evaluation through a case study. Environmental parameters including air temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 concentration of a compartment housing for a small group (n = 90) of laying hens were measured using a perch aviary system in a 24-h period with an interval of 5 min. The results showed that with the perch system for laying hens, the expanded uncertainty of the data acquisition system was above 1.02 °C, 5.54%, and 67.8 ppm over the sensor data of the air temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 concentration, respectively. Moreover, the relative uncertainty of this system was estimated as 15.9%. Therefore, because of its more reliable uncertainty analysis and data evaluation, the proposed web-based data acquisition system has considerable potential for ensuring correct decision-making when used in poultry production.

title: Distribution of Ifitm3 in Yellow-Feathered Broilers and Inhibition of Avian Reovirus Multiplication by Ifitm3

description: ABSTRACT This study was carried to express the interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) in vitro and examine its function in inhibition of avian reovirus (ARV) replication. The recombinant prokaryotic vector expressing yellow-feathered broiler IFITM3 was successfully constructed, and the recombinant protein was expressed in competent Escherichia coli BL21 cells. New Zealand white rabbits were immunized with the purified recombinant protein to prepare a polyclonal antibody, with a titer of 1:128,000. Immunohistochemistry, reverse transcription-PCR, and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that IFITM3 was distributed in the yellow-feathered broiler immune organs, and the expression of IFITM3 in bursa of Fabricius was more than in spleen and thymus. It was found that in the thymus, spleen and bursa of Fabricius the mRNA expression levels of IFNα and IFITM3 were significantly induced after ARV infection. And it was also certified in the chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) which infected with ARV. Then the IFNα was added into the cell culture medium before CEFs were infected with ARV. The results indicated that the mRNA of IFITM3 expression was significantly increased and ARV multiplication was significantly inhibited. And when the expression of IFITM3 was knocked down by siRNA-IFITM3, the expression of IFITM3 was significantly reduced, but the ARV multiplication was significantly increased, which indicated that IFITM3 protein could inhibit the ARV replication.

title: Effect of Hatching Time on Yolk Sac Percentage and Broiler Live Performance

description: ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of broiler chick hatching time on the percentage of the yolk sac and subsequent broiler live performance. Broiler hatching eggs were obtained from a commercial flock at 55 wk of age and were stored for 2 d at 18°C and 75% relative humidity (RH) prior to incubation. Chicks were identified as hatching Early (471-477 h), Middle (480-486 h), and Late (494-510 h). All chicks were removed from the trays at 510 h of incubation. Body weight (BW) and yolk weight (YW) were determined at emergence from the shell (initial hatch time) and at placement on feed. Chicks were permanently identified by hatch time with neck tags, feather sexed, weighed, and introduced to feed and water in litter floor pens. Broiler BW and feed consumption (FC) were then determined 7, 21, and 35 d of age. Mortality was recorded daily. Although the percentage of the yolk was similar at hatch time, it was less in Early compared to Middle and Late chicks at placement (p≤0.05). Broiler chick BW was greater at placement in Late chicks compared to Early and Middle chicks (p≤0.05) but this advantage disappeared by 7 d because Late chicks consumed less feed to 7 d (p≤0.05). Early hatched broilers exhibited greater BW than Late with Middle broilers intermediate at 35 d (p≤0.05). There were no significant differences in feed consumption and feed conversion ratio (FCR) at 35 d of age. Additionally, late hatch chicks exhibited greater mortality. Overall, live performance of Late hatching chicks, judged by mortality and BW at 35 d, was reduced compared to Early hatching chicks.

title: Reinforcement design of concrete sections based on the arc-length method

description: Abstract The reinforcement design of concrete cross-sections with the parabola-rectangle diagram is a well-established model. A global limit analysis, considering geometrical and material nonlinear behavior, demands a constitutive relationship that better describes concrete behavior. The Sargin curve from the CEB-FIP model code, which is defined from the modulus of elasticity at the origin and the peak point, represents the descending branch of the stress-strain relationship. This research presents a numerical method for the reinforcement design of concrete cross-sections based on the arc length process. This method is numerically efficient in the descending branch of the Sargin curve, where other processes present convergence problems. The examples discuss the reinforcement design of concrete sections based on the parabola-rectangle diagram and the Sargin curve using the design parameters of the local and global models, respectively.
