title: Gas Exchange of Cowpea Cultivated in Norteast of Pará in Response to Imposed Water Deficit During Reproductive Phase

description: Abstract Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a cultivated legume in the North and Northeast of Brazil, but in Pará, the crop has low productivity, due to the low soil fertility and climatic adversity, mainly water deficiency. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different levels of cumulative water deficit during reproductive stage on gas exchange of the cowpea. The experiment was conducted in Castanhal / Pa, in the years of 2015 and 2016 in a randomized complete block design, with six replicates and four treatments correpondent to 100% replacement of the water lost by the evapotranspiration of the crop (T1), to 50% of replacement (T2), to 25% of replacement (T3) and without irrigation (T4). Gas Exchange were determined in the phenological stage R9, correspondente to 64 days after sowing (28 dais after the begining of treatments). Water deficit was obtained by daily soil water balance according to the available water capacity and the size of the effective root system, observed at field. There was not significant difference between experimental years besides the effect of treatments. Cowpea show to be sensitive to the cumulated water déficit, decreasing its stomatal conductance and phtosyntesis rate, which differed significantly among the four treatments. For leaf water potential and internal carbono there was significant difference only between the extreme treatment. Such behavior suggest that cowpea preserve leaf water potential even under cumulative conditions of water deficit acting as a conservative specie by priorizing the maintenance of its water status rather than its photossynthetic activity. The lowest yields occurred in response to the water déficit imposed by the treatments with smaller irrigation blade.

title: Spatial and Seasonal Water Characterization of Mato Grosso do Sul with Grid Data

description: Abstract The use of global atmospheric reanalysis data (ERA-Interim) produced by the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) becomes an important tool for agricultural production regions, especially in scarce weather station areas. We sought to characterize the spatial and seasonal water variability of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul using meteorological reanalysis data from ERA-Interim. The study was conducted in Mato Grosso do Sul, located in the Midwest region of Brazil. Decendial rainfall and mean air temperature data were obtained from ERA-Interim between 1989 and 2015, totaling 566 points. We estimated soil water storage, water deficit and water surplus from the normal water balance of Thornthwaite and Mather (1955). In Mato Grosso do Sul there was spatial and seasonal variation of water balance components. Seasonal variation in soil water storage occurred with the change of seasons. The southern region of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul has the largest water resources, with reduced DEF, close to 100% ARM and high EXC. The largest water surpluses occur from December to March, while from August to October the lowest water surpluses occur in the state.

title: Effect of the Plastic Cover on the Productivity and Profitability of Vineyard in the São Francisco River Valley, Brazil

description: Abstract Data from field experiments conducted in vineyards table grape variety of Festival in Petrolina-PE, from October/2009 to November/2010, were used to evaluate the influence of the plastic cover on productivity and economic profitability of the viticulture in the São Francisco River Valley. Three treatments were studied: uncovered canopy (UC), plastic cover placed at 50 cm above the canopy (PC50), and a plastic cover placed at 100 cm above the canopy (PC100). The results indicated that the increased supply of radiative fluxes at the height of the berries in the treatment PC100 contributed to higher productivity, while treatment PC50 had the lowest offer of irradiative fluxes at the height of berries and much lower productivity. The yield obtained in the treatment PC100 exceeded 11 t ha-1 and 12.3 t ha-1 to those of treatments at UC and PC50, respectively. Treatment PC100 also had the lowest amounts of defects of berries, which contributed to higher total revenue. By contrast, treatment PC50 had markedly lower productivity, which represented considerable economic losses.

title: Vegetative Development of Cesalpinea ferrea and Anadenanthera macrocarpa: I: Estimated of Cardinal Temperatures

description: Abstract The air temperature influences the vegetative development and the seedling phase duration in the forest species, since it regulates the photosynthesis reactions, because that is considered the main meteorological variable. The aim of this work was to estimate cardinal temperatures (base, optimum and maximum), which determines the thresholds on the development phases, and to estimate the phyllochron of two forest species in the seedling phase. A field experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, in a 2X12 factorial arrangement, with two Brazilian forest species (Caesalpinia ferrea Mart. ex. Tul. Var. leiostachya Benth e angico-vermelho - Anadenanthera macrocarpa (Benth) Brenan), 12 sowing dates and five replicates. The cardinal temperatures for pau-ferro were: 12.8 °C, 20.7 °C and 46.3 °C and for angico-vermelho were: 10.3 °C, 23 °C and 45.5 °C. The phyllochron was 56.9 °C day per leaf for pau-ferro and was 163.8 °C day per leaf for angico-vermelho, which indicates that angico-vermelho requires more energy accumulation to promote the vegetative development than pau-ferro.

title: Trends and Variabilities in the Historical Series of Monthly and Annual Precipitation in Cerrado Biome in the Period 1977-2010

description: Abstract The objective of the present study was to analyze the annual and monthly precipitation historical series of the Cerrado biome (Brazil), in order to identify local and regional trends. Different trend detection methods were used for 125 rain gauge stations throughout the Cerrado during the period 1977-2010, including LOWESS (LW), Mann-Kendall (MK), Theil-Sen (TS), and Pettitt (PT). The MK test suggested negative trends for 71% of the stations, with 14% of them statistically significant, mainly in the southerly region. Positive trends were found in 28% of the stations, where 1% was significant. The TS test suggested that, in general, the annual total precipitation in Cerrado decreased by 8,4% during the studied period. The precipitation in the dry months (JJAS) decreased in 76% of the stations, indicating an intensification of the dry season in the region. The results were consistent, suggesting a general decreasing trend in the precipitation of the biome, during the studied period.

title: Changes in Land Use in the Western Amazon and the Microclima’s Response to the Occurrence of Extreme Events

description: Abstract The reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change constantly reveal the possibility that climatic extremes will increase in the coming years. The Amazon Region has experienced these events frequently, which has contributed to the fact that more studies about its susceptibility are carried out. This study aimed to identify the microclimate response to droughts of 2005 and 2010 in areas of native forest and pasture in the Western Amazon by analyzing specific air humidity, air temperature and net radiation. The data used come from towers belonging to Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia. The results indicate that in the years studied there were significant changes in the variables studied at both sites, with reductions of approximately 16% in specific humidity and increases of up to 3.76% in temperature. However, the effects of the 2010 drought may have been softened in the forest due to the event being preceded by an extreme flood event (2009). The results show that the conversion of forest areas to pasture, together with extreme events, can interfere in the meteorological variables, being necessary the continuous study of this dynamics for the microclimatic implications to be elucidated.

title: Comparing Different Methods for Estimating Hourly Solar Ultraviolet Radiation: Empirical Models, Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Machine

description: Abstract In the present paper, the comparison of three of the main estimation methods of solar radiation was performed: empirical models, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Four classical empirical models were calibrated and validated in order to estimate hourly solar UV data in Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil. Taken the empirical models as reference of accuracy and set for input variables, the performance of ANN and SVM were assessed. Through the statistical parameters Mean Bias Error (MBE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) was confirmed the superiority of the SVM over the ANN and empirical models. The SVM is capable to generate better results than ANN using a less number of input variables. Among all estimation methods, SVM using the set of input variables {UV0, KT} is considered the best alternative due to the smaller number of input variables and relative precision.

title: Factors associated with lack of prenatal care in a large municipality

description: OBJECTIVE To analyze the factors associated with a lack of prenatal care in a large municipality in southern Brazil. METHODS In this case-control age-matched study, 716 women were evaluated; of these, 179 did not receive prenatal care and 537 received prenatal care (controls). These women were identified using the Sistema Nacional de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos (Live Birth Information System) of Pelotas, RS, Southern Brazil, between 2009 and 2010. Multivariate analysis was performed using conditional logistic regression to estimate the odds ratios (OR). RESULTS In the final model, the variables associated with a lack of prenatal care were the level of education, particularly when it was lesser than four years [OR 4.46; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.92;10.36], being single (OR 3.61; 95%CI 1.85;7.04), and multiparity (OR 2.89; 95%CI 1.72;4.85). The prevalence of a lack of prenatal care among administrative regions varied between 0.7% and 3.9%. CONCLUSIONS The risk factors identified must be considered when planning actions for the inclusion of women in prenatal care by both the central management and healthcare teams. These indicated the municipal areas with greater deficits in prenatal care. The reorganization of the actions to identify women with risk factors in the community can be considered to be a starting point of this process. In addition, the integration of the activities of local programs that target the mother and child is essential to constantly identify pregnant women without prenatal care.

title: Mammography in asymptomatic women aged 40-49 years

description: OBJECTIVE To assess findings of mammography of and interventions resulting from breast cancer screening in women aged 40-49 years with no increased risk (typical risk) of breast cancer. METHODS This cross-sectional study evaluated women aged 40-49 years who underwent mammography screening in a mastology reference center in Recife, PE, Northeastern Brazil, between January 2010 and October 2011. Women with breast-related complaints, positive findings in the physical examination, or high risk of breast cancer were excluded. RESULTS The 1,000 mammograms performed were classified into the following Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) categories BI-RADS 0, 232; BI-RADS 1, 294; BI-RADS 2, 294; BI-RADS 3, 16; BI-RADS 4A, 2; BI-RADS 5, 1. There was one case of grade II invasive ductal carcinoma and various interventions, including 469 ultrasound scans, 53 referrals to mastologists, 11 cytological examinations, and 8 biopsies. CONCLUSIONS Mammography screening in women aged 40-49 years with typical risk of breast cancer led to the performance of other interventions. However, it also resulted in increased costs without demonstrable efficacy in decreasing mortality.
