title: Topical Interferon alfa-2b for ocular surface squamous neoplasia in one case of patient with xeroderma pigmentosum

description: Abstract Report of a case of xeroderma pigmentosum with squamous cell carcinoma of bilateral conjunctiva that showed a significant regression in tumor size with the use of interferon alfa-2b topic. Case report: Female patient with Xeroderma pigmentosum in an advanced stage, with no healthy skin, having been subjected to about 60 excisions of malignant skin lesions. The patient appeared with conjunctival tumors in both eyes, corresponding to squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva. Due to surgical difficulties, high relapse rate and high probability of symblepharon formation, therapy was started with interferon alpha 2beta 1,000,000 topic units, obtaining good results with a significant decrease in lesion size and resolution of symptoms. Conclusion: Topical use of alpha-interferon in 2beta squamous neoplasia of the conjunctiva proved to be a good therapeutic option for high surgical risk and situations of postoperative complications.

title: Effect of land use in seasonal abundance of Eared Dove (Zenaida auriculata) in Southwestern Brazil

description: Abstract Changes at the landscape scale associated with expansion in agricultural land use and changes in agricultural practices are common causes of alteration in patterns of abundance and composition of avian communities. Eared Dove (Zenaida auriculata - Des Murs, 1847) is among the most common species in the Neotropics, considered both as game and pest in some countries. Here we characterized the regional and seasonal patterns of Eared Doves abundance in Southwestern Brazil and examined the relationship between landscape features and these abundance patterns. We counted Eared Doves using the point count system along routes in summer and winter and recorded land use at two scales. We used linear regressions to model the effect of landscape matrix and land use at local scale with Doves abundance in two seasons. At the landscape scale, in winter, the abundance was greater in routes crossing landscapes dominated by plantations. In summer, it was lower in routes with large tracts of forests and mixed farming. While in winter, at the local scale, the Doves abundance was greater in routes with higher frequency of maize plantations, in summer higher abundances were observed in routes with higher frequency of sugar cane and soybean plantations. Agricultural settings, which include both sustained production of food in the form of grains as well as and large stretches of habitat suitable for reproduction, favor large population of Eared Doves.

title: An Enhanced Random Vibration and Fatigue Model for Printed Circuit Boards

description: Abstract Aerospace vehicles are mostly exposed to random vibration loads during its operational lifetime. These harsh conditions excites vibration responses in the vehicles printed circuit boards, what can cause failure on mission functionality due to fatigue damage of electronic components. A novel analytical model to evaluate the useful life of embedded electronic components (capacitors, chips, oscillators etc.) mounted on Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) is presented. The fatigue damage predictions are calculated by the relative displacement between the PCB and the component, the lead stiffness, as well the natural vibration modes of the PCB and the component itself. Statistical methods are used for fatigue cycle counting. The model is applied to experimental fatigue tests of PCBs available on literature. The analytical results are of the same magnitude order of the experimental findings.

title: Recent Developments in Damage Identification of Structures Using Data Mining

description: Abstract Civil structures are usually prone to damage during their service life and it leads them to loss their serviceability and safety. Thus, damage assessment can guarantee the integrity of structures. As a result, a structural damage detection approach including two main components, a set of accelerometers to record the response data and a data mining (DM) procedure, is widely used to extract the information on the structural health condition. In the last decades, DM has provided numerous solutions to structural health monitoring (SHM) problems as an all-inclusive technique due to its powerful computational ability. This paper presents the first attempt to illustrate the data mining techniques (DMTs) applications in SHM through an intensive review of those articles dealing with the use of DMTs aimed for classification-, prediction- and optimization-based data mining methods. According to this categorization, applications of DMTs with respect to SHM research area are classified and it is concluded that, applications of DMTs in the SHM domain have increasingly been implemented, in the last decade and the most popular techniques in the area were artificial neural network (ANN), principal component analysis (PCA) and genetic algorithm (GA), respectively.

title: DIEBACK, LEAF AREA INDEX AND YIELD OF YOUNG EUCALYPT CLONES PLANTATION IN THE BRAZILIAN SAVANNAH REGION

description: ABSTRACT Eucalypt has been widely planted in Brazil, in the savannah region, which is characterized by high soil water deficit and low fertility. Dieback, leaf area index (LAI) and yield of young stands of 16 eucalypt clones were studied in Vazante, MG, Brazil (17º36’09"S and 46º 42’02"W). It was determined for each clone: a) the proportion of the tree height with dieback symptoms in the apical terminal (HWD%) and the proportion of trees with dieback (NWD%), at 13 months (end of the first dry season); b) the LAI at 13 and 21 months, and c) the yield at the age of 13, 19 and 25 months. HWD% reached 5-9%, and NWD%, 50-80%, for the five most susceptible clones, when the soil water deficit reached 508 mm in the year. LAI varied from 0.61 to 1.56, at 13 months, and from 2.31 to 3.48 at 21 months, presenting inverse relationship with dieback. The least susceptible clones to dieback achieved the highest yield up to 25 months of age. There was interaction between dieback and fertilizer levels only for three clones. There was a positive correlation (p &lt; 0.001) between the LAI at the age of 13 months and the periodic monthly increment from 0 to 11 months, and from 11 to 19 months. The difference in dieback susceptibility among clones allows the selection of genotypes for regions where the soil water deficit is a major limiting factor.

title: Temperature and light requirements for germination of species of Velloziaceae from different Brazilian rocky outcrops

description: ABSTRACT Germination is the first step to successful plant establishment. The range of factors that promote germination varies among species. Light and temperature requirements for the germination of species of Velloziaceae were investigated. Seeds of Barbacenia flava, B. markgrafii, B. purpurea, B. williamsi, Vellozia alata, V. compacta, V. glochidea and V. plicata were collected from rocky outcrops located in different Brazilian states and were incubated for germination at 10 to 40 °C in light or dark conditions. Seed mass and length were measured for each species. In general, all species exhibited a high germination percentage at temperatures of 15-40 °C in the light, with the optimal temperature being 25-30 °C for species of Barbacenia and 30 °C for species of Vellozia. Barbacenia flava, V. compacta and, particularly, B. markgrafii, germinated in the dark. In contrast, B. purpurea exhibited an absolute requirement for light and the most restricted range of temperature to germinate. Germination responses and seed traits were related to the microclimate where the species were collected, and germinability in darkness is likely a common trait for species of Velloziaceae from the Espinhaço Range.

title: Soybean agronomic performance in response to seeding rate and phosphate and potassium fertilization

description: ABSTRACT Most studies that found soybean high phenotypic plasticity under different seeding rates adopted the same fertilization levels used for the recommended seeding rates. Therefore, the interaction between these factors is little known. This study aims to assess the interaction between seeding rate and levels of phosphorus and potassium fertilization on soybean growth, grain yield and contents of protein and oil in the grains. The experiment was carried out under a randomized complete block design, in a split-plot scheme, with six replicates. Four seeding rates (150, 300, 440 and 560 thousand viable seeds ha-1) were used in the plots, and two levels of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer were applied in the subplots to meet the export of 3 and 6 t ha-1 of grains (level 1 = 30 kg ha-1 of P2O5 + 60 kg ha-1 of K2O; and level 2 = 60 kg ha-1 of P2O5 + 120 kg ha-1 of K2O). There was no interaction between the experimental factors. Increase in fertilizer doses did not alter the evaluated characteristics, regardless of the seeding rate. Seeding rate did not change grain yield or protein and oil contents, but at low densities there was an increase in the number of pods per plant, apparent harvest index and SPAD index.

title: Urban transformation influence over the acoustic comfort: pilot study from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Campus

description: Abstract This work aims to present a methodology to analyze the influence of the urban transformation in the acoustic comfort for an urban space. This evaluation is based on a pilot study, using the campus of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) as object of analysis. Several urban transformations took place along the years, many of them proposed by the Master Plan of UFRJ for 2020. The noise impact evaluation due to the transformations was performed through noise map comparison of several urban configurations, mainly by traffic flow and buildings morphology. The noise map validation was performed by noise level measurements at points of special interest. The maps were generated using vehicular data counting and typology survey. The maps analysis as function of the urban transformations shown that the noise levels are higher than the stated by the environmental standards, and allowed to identify the main causes of such noise increase. Therefore, it was able to critically analyze the urban transformations along the time and the actual spatial configuration in order to propose actions to reduce the noise pollution and improve the hearing comfort at the UFRJ campus.

title: Phenylephrine 10% mydriatic effect: comparison between self instillation of eye drop in open eyes and spray in closed eyes

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the effectiveness of phenylephrine 10% applied by a spray onto the eye closed over drop instillation onto an open eye on patients who will perform ophthalmoscopy and assess the level of difficulty and technical adequacy of the administration methods. Methods: The study was a clinical trial, controlled, randomized and paired, performed in 2014, involving 100 eyes of 50 patients in the Polyclinic Ronaldo Gazolla - RJ, with no ocular or systemic diseases that compromised the pupillary dilation. Patients underwent 10% phenylephrine eye drop instillation onto one open eye and spray application onto the other eye, which was closed. Pupillary diameter was measured before application and 10, 20, 30 minutes after. The process of instillation or vaporization was observed for its technical correctness by one of the authors. A questionnaire was asked to the patient about the difficulty of both methods after topical administration. Results: The average mydriasis difference between the eye groups assessed at a given time was at most 0.3 mm, which was not clinically or statistically significant (ANOVA: F = 1.97 and p = 0.163609). However, over time, the difference between the average pupil diameter before application and after 30 minutes was 1.15 mm to vaporized eyes and to 1.58 mm in eyes instilled with drops (ANOVA: F = 129, 22 and p ≤ 0.0001). Sixty per cent of patients touched the tip of the eye drop bottle onto the eye, while 12% touched the tip of the vaporizer with their fingers (p &lt;0.000001). Seventy two percent (72%) considered the drops instillation easy or very easy, while 62% considered vaporization in a closed eye easy or very easy (p = 0.238). Conclusion: The instillation of drops phenylephrine 10% in open eyes and the vaporization onto closed eyes showed similar clinical efficacy. Vaporization was safer and a little more difficult than instillation, despite the patients being experienced for instilling drops and inexperienced to vaporize the medication in a closed eye.
