title: Application of Plant Growth Regulators to Stipa krylovii in the Xilin Gol Grassland

description: ABSTRACT: Plant growth regulators are an immense group of substances that have the ability to alter growth pattern of plants and can be used for improving plant growth and productivity. A study was conducted in the Xilin Gol grassland of Inner Mongolia, China, to ascertain the growth and biomass production of Stipa krylovii in response to exogenous application of different growth regulators at various concentrations viz. naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), brassinosteroid (BR), sodium nitrophenolate (SNP) and forchlorfenuron, and gibberellic acid (GA3). Application of growth regulators significantly enhanced the growth and biomass production of S. krylovii. The height of vegetative shoot was enhanced mostly by the application of 100 mg L-1 GA3, while, height of reproductive shoot was increased by 25 mg L-1 6-BA, 100 mg L-1 SNP + 5 mg L-1 forchlorfenuron and 50 mg L-1 SNP + 2.5 mg L-1 forchlorfenuron as compared to control. Fresh biomass was enhanced by the application of 0.02 mg L-1 BR, 10 mg L-1 SNP + 0.5 mg L-1 forchlorfenuron and 50 mg L-1 SNP + 2.5 mg L-1 forchlorfenuron. Application of 5 mg L-1 6-BA and 50 mg L-1 SNP + 2.5 mg L-1 forchlorfenuron proved to be more beneficial in improving dry biomass of S. krylovii, as compared to control. In conclusion, exogenous application of different growth regulators improved growth and biomass production of S. krylovii. Furthermore, application of SNP + forchlorfenuron and 6-BA was more effective.

title: Competitive Ability of Santa-Maria (Parthenium hysterophorus L.) with Spring Maize

description: ABSTRACT: In recent decades, allelopathy has gained considerable attention in sustainable agricultural systems. In the current situation, an attempt has been made to investigate the optimal competition period for weed control in maize. Experiments were designed in randomized complete block design and Parthenium hysterophorus was naturally infested in experimental plots during the spring season 2014 to determine the critical competition period for weed control in maize. The relations between grain yield and different competition durations were determined via regression analyses. The experiment comprised seven treatments viz, control treatment, competition for 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 and 105 days after emergence. The results suggested that a weed-free period (control treatment) of maize was enough to provide acceptable grain yield. Whole season different competition periods and weed-free plots were included in the experiment for yield comparison. The highest grain yield was obtained from plot kept weed-free (control treatment). The results clearly indicated that P. hysterophorus was competitively more aggressive and its control in maize crop provide maximum grain yield.

title: Susceptibility Among Populations of Crabgrass to Herbicides Inhibiting Photosystem II

description: ABSTRACT: Weed interference reduces the productive potential of crops. Among the control methods used, chemical ones occupy a major position. The repeated application of the same mechanism of action selects tolerant plants. Among the species that affect sugarcane, crabgrass is one of them. This study has aimed to know the tolerance of different populations of this species to herbicides inhibiting photosystem II. Three populations were collected, identified and submitted to the application of ametryn and diuron herbicides in ten different doses, and the experiment was conducted in a experimental design of complete randomized blocks with four repetitions in a factorial arrangement of 10 x 3 (10 doses x 3 populations), being one trial for each herbicide. Sixty days after application, visual control and plants shoot dry biomass were evaluated. The data were submitted to an analysis of variance by the F test and, when significant, their means were compared using the Tukey’s test. The averages related to the herbicide doses were submitted to a graphical analysis by applying a log-logistic regression where the herbicide doses required to cause 50 or 80% of injury and reduction of dry biomass of plants were calculated. The resistance factor was calculated to determine the difference in herbicide tolerance among populations. Based on the results, it was observed that the populations exhibit differential sensitivities to herbicides and the one originated in Brazilian city Ribeirão Preto was resistant to ametryn. The population originated in Brazilian city Santa Cruz das Posses was less sensitive to diuron. The RF values ranged between 1.0 and 2.34.

title: Fresh concrete consistency effect on thin-walled columns creep phenomenon

description: Abstract A concrete structural member when kept under sustained load presents progressive strains over time, associated to the material creep. The fresh concrete consistency, specially, exerts some effect on that phenomenon. The pioneering formulations developed to modelling the creep of concrete are applicable, directly, to the cases for which the stress magnitude remains constant. Its application to reinforced concrete structural members, that exhibits changes in the magnitude of the stresses over such a time dependent phenomenon, requires simplifications from which result the memory models, whose implementation presents the disadvantage of involving the history of the stresses storage. The State Models were developed to overcome these difficulties, as they result of integral calculus scheme improvement, dispensing such computational memory storage. The subject of this work is the analysis of creep strains on reinforced concrete thin-walled columns, emphasizing the fresh concrete consistency efecct, on the base of a state model, fixing the values of its physical parameters from the NBR 6118/14 proceedings [1]. The obtained results showed the occurrence of stresses transfer from the mass of the concrete to the reinforcement steel bars, that was more pronounced in those cases for which the slump test abatement were the highest and, in some cases, including, it induced the material yielding condition.

title: Coding the “New Implicit Method” in MatLab for preliminary tunnel design

description: Abstract The tunnel design is a subject that demands a three-dimensional analysis dealing with two different players: lining and rockmass. The traditional methods of getting the necessary parameters for design do not consider a correct interaction between the two players, but the New Implicit Method (NIM) takes this characteristic in its core and develops some formulations for elastic, plastic and viscous rockmasses. Understanding that the stiffness of the lining and the distance between the lining and the tunnel face change the convergence of the tunnel, a code in MatLab for NIM is validated through Finite Element (FEM) with its results being presented. The validation of this method was compared with FEM analysis and the results obtained an average accuracy of 12% what represents a good approximation regarding geotechnical issues.

title: Chemical Control of Glyphosate-Resistant Goosegrass

description: ABSTRACT: The use of mixtures and rotation of herbicide modes of action are essential for herbicide resistance management. The purpose of this research was to evaluate different pre- and post-emergence herbicides to control goosegrass in soybean and corn. Four greenhouse experiments were conducted, one in pre-emergence and the three others in post-emergence. In pre-emergence, the number of emerged plants and the control percentage at 20, 35 and 50 days after application were evaluated. In post-emergence, the control percentage was evaluated at 14 and 28 days after application on plants with one tiller and four tillers. The use of residual herbicides to control glyphosate-resistant goosegrass is a very important tool for its effective management. The application stage is also crucial for post-emergence efficacy. Paraquat and [paraquat + diuron] are effective in controlling this species. The application of ACCase inhibiting herbicides alone seems to be more effective than their associations with glyphosate, especially in plants with four tillers. HPPD inhibiting herbicides have high synergism with atrazine and not with glyphosate.

title: The usefulness of chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of osteoid osteoma

description: Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be useful in the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma when clinical and radiological tumor features are inconclusive. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 17 patients who underwent chemical-shift MRI for the evaluation of osteoid osteoma. For all patients, two musculoskeletal radiologists independently recorded signal intensities on in-phase and out-of-phase images in the nidus of the tumor, in abnormal-intensity bone marrow surrounding the lesion, and in normal-appearing bone marrow. For each region, relative signal intensity ratios were calculated by dividing out-of-phase by in-phase values. Relative ratios &gt; 1 were considered indicative of neoplastic lesions. Statistical analysis was carried out to analyze the sample. Inter-observer and intra-observer agreement for each imaging method were assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients according to the Fleiss method and a value &gt; 0.65 was considered to indicate substantial agreement. Results: The mean relative signal intensity ratios were 1.2 (range, 0.9-1.4) for the nidus and 0.35 (range, 0.11-0.66) for the surrounding tissue; these values differed significantly from the relative signal-intensity ratios for normal-appearing bone marrow (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: Chemical-shift MRI is useful for the diagnosis and evaluation of osteoid osteoma.

title: CO2 SORPTION USING IONIC LIQUID ADDITIVATED WITH SURFACE AREA EXTENDERS

description: The study of environmentally friendly CO2 sorption agents are growing due to the need of mitigate this gas from atmosphere. Ionic Liquids (ILs) present the advantage of having low vapor pressures and being chemically and thermally stable. Besides, their properties can be designed by varying the groups of the cation or anion. Yet, these compounds present a lower desorption energy when compared to amines based chemical solvents. These characteristics make ILs potentially important for the development of new processes focused on the mitigation of global warming. However, ILs have high viscosity and high cost, making them economically unfeasible. To minimize these problems, bubble glass can be used as an additive in ionic liquids to reduce cost and viscosity. Bubble glass has several applications in industry, presenting low cost and high chemical and mechanical resistance. This work evaluated the CO2 solubility in [bmim][BF4] and [mbmim][Tf2N] pure and mixed with boron silicate bubble glass in volumetric concentrations of 5% to 50%. Data are reported at 27 bar of pressure and temperatures of 303 and 323 K. Mixed systems with 50% concentration of bubble glass showed the best sorption results for both ionic liquids.

title: Response of Soybean Cultivars in Rotation with Irrigated Rice Crops Cultivated in Clearfield® System

description: ABSTRACT: Soybean crop rotation with irrigated rice is an alternative for the management of weedy rice (Oryza sativa) resistant to herbicides from the imidazolinone chemical group. This work had the purpose to evaluate the phytotoxicity of soybean crops containing the technologies Cultivance® (CV) and tolerance to sulphonylurea and Roundup Ready® (RR), deriving from increasing doses of the imazapyr and imazapic herbicide mixture, applied in the irrigated rice crop management. Thus, the experiment was performed on field, where treatments consisted in three soybean cultivars (BRS382CV, CD249STS and NA5909RR) and five doses of the imazapyr and imazapic herbicides mixture (0, 49, 98, 196 and 392 g a.i. ha-1). The evaluated variables were phytotoxicity, yield components and physiological quality of the seeds. Soybean cultivar BRS382CV is tolerant to herbicide carryover, applied in the management of weedy rice in irrigated rice crops, but the other cultivars are susceptible to it. Cultivar productivity, yield components and physiological quality of the seeds are affected by the carryover increase of the imazapyr and imazapic herbicide mixture.
