title: Potential of environmental flow: participatory method for determining environmental flow in hydropower’s reservoirs in Amazon rivers

description: ABSTRACT The potential of environmental flow (PVA) is an alternative method to estimate the flow as it mainly considers the ecological, economic and cultural characteristics of the basins, reducing estimation errors in the assessment of environmental impacts for deployment or operation of hydroelectric power plants (HPPs). The aim of this research was to adapt the PVA methodology for Amazon’s large basins using holistic approach. The methodology for estimating the PVA was adapted to the watersheds of the rivers Tocantins, in Pará, Jari, in Amapá and Pará, and Araguari, in Amapá, under operation and/or final installation of HPPs. The results suggest that, in the Tocantins and Araguari rivers, both under the influence of dams in operation, the most relevant parameter of PVA was water stress. Taking into account the direct impact of these HPPs, the flow rate is high enough to keep the ecosystem or aquatic diversity during the whole year. However, the response of the PVA in the Jari river basin, in the ultimate construction phase, the most relevant parameter was the economic dependence, because the priority is the fluvial transport, and, in this way, estimating the flow by a non-adequate method would jeopardize this very important function. We concluded that the PVA method is an interesting tool for managing large basins, because it is flexible, adaptable and especially allowing the participation of the agents involved in the decision making processes.

title: Mutagenicity and antimutagenicity of Salacia crassifolia (mart. Ex. Schult.) G. Don. evaluated by Ames test

description: Abstract Salacia crassifolia (Mart. Ex. Schult.) G. Don. is a bush which belongs to Celastraceae family and occurs specially in Brazilian Cerrado. Its leaves, stem, seeds and fruits are popularly used for several medicinal purposes, such as antitumoral, antirheumatic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. In this study, the mutagenic and antimutagenic activities of S. crassifolia stem bark fractions (hexane, ethyl acetate and hydroalcoholic) were evaluated by the Ames mutagenicity assay in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains. By the obtained results, all S. crassifolia fractions did not significantly increase the number of prototrophic revertants for histidine (His+) in both S. typhimurium strains tested (p &gt; 0.05), suggesting absence of mutagenicity. Regarding antimutagenicity, the fractions ethyl acetate and hydroalcoholic significantly decreased the number of His+ revertants colonies induced by positive control for strain TA98 (p &lt; 0.05), demonstrating protection against mutagenicity induced by 4-nitroquinolile1-oxide, whereas the hexane fraction did not show antimutagenic effect in this strain. In the TA100 strain, all fractions of S. crassifolia protected DNA against the harmful action of sodium azide, and the hexane fraction exhibited the greatest protection in this work. Thus, it’s possible conclude that the fractions of S. crassifolia tested in this study could be used in chemoprevention.

title: Association between hypovitaminosis D and frequency of pulmonary exacerbations in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis

description: Abstract Objective We evaluated the association between vitamin D levels and nutritional status, pulmonary function and pulmonary exacerbations in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis. Methods 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels of 37 children and adolescents were retrospectively evaluated. Pulmonary function, body mass index, height for age, and pulmonary exacerbations episodes were associated with vitamin D levels divided into two groups: sufficient (≥30ng/mL) and hypovitaminosis (&lt;30ng/mL). Results Hypovitaminosis D (25(OH)D &lt;30ng/mL) was observed in 54% of subjects. The mean level of 25(OH)D was 30.53±12.14ng/mL. Pulmonary function and nutritional status were not associated with vitamin D levels. Pulmonary exacerbations over a 2-year period (p=0.007) and the period from measurement up to the end of the follow-up period (p=0.002) were significantly associated with vitamin D levels. Conclusion Hypovitaminosis D was associated with higher rates of pulmonary exacerbations in this sample of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis. Hypovitaminosis D should be further studied as a marker of disease severity in cystic fibrosis. Further prospective and randomized studies are necessary to investigate causality of this association.

title: Multi-criteria method for environmental risk assessment of fuel trade within the first urban mile of Belém (Pará)

description: ABSTRACT This paper introduces a simple model to assess potential risk of gas stations in urban areas, which takes into account three dimensions of analysis: operational, normative, and environmental. These dimensions are distributed in eight internal and external control variables, which, in turn, are valued by qualitative and quantitative interpretation of easily available local data. The proposed model was applied to evaluate 67 gas stations located within the first urban mile of Belém, Pará, Brazil, which is characterized as the first demarcation of land granted by the Portuguese crown in the foundation of Belém, in 1616, in order to obtain the risk rating for gas station and also to produce the potential risk map for first urban area districts. Results show that most of the gas stations in the first urban mile presents high risk, whereas only a few possesses important and medium risk.

title: Groundwater geochemistry and quality in the municipality of Serra do Ramalho, Bahia, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize groundwater geochemistry and quality in the municipality of Serra do Ramalho, west Bahia, with emphasis on nitrate (N-NO3 -) concentrations. Water was sampled from 26 tubular wells during 2010 and 2011 (rainy season) and 2012 (dry season). Physicochemical parameters were measured and groundwater was sampled in each sampling station for laboratory analyses of the main anions (titrimetry and spectrophotometry) and cations (ICP OES) and fluoride (SPANDS). The pH ranged from 6.60 to 8.70, with the following decreasing order of major elements: rCa2+ &gt; rNa+ &gt; rMg2+ &gt; rK+ and rCO3 2- - rHCO3 - &gt; rCl- &gt; rSO4 2- &gt; rNO3- &gt; rF-. Calcic bicarbonated hydrochemical facies (49%), calcic chlorinated facies (21%) and calcic mixed facies (15%) were the most representative in the study area. Fluoride and nitrate concentrations were above potability limit in 25 and 12% of the wells, respectively. Groundwater pollution is a challenge to the management of water resources, sanitation, land use and public health, and should be better understood, monitored and remedied.

title: Propagation Model for Path Loss Through Vegetated Environments at 700 – 800 MHz Band

description: Abstract In almost all literature about propagation models through vegetated environments, path loss has been proposed based on specimens of temperate clime conditions. In this work, a new propagation model is proposed, based on measurements, carried out on vegetated environments with tropical specimens. These environments are common on suburban and rural areas in Brazil. Current models have presented pessimistic approach to propagation loss in these areas. The vegetal morphology and frequency effects, transmission height and distance are taken into consideration. Finally a comparison with existing models is presented.

title: Performance Analysis of Probe-Fed Circularly-Polarized Moderately-Thick Microstrip Antennas Designed under the Null Reactance Condition

description: Abstract This work presents a performance analysis of probe-fed circularly-polarized moderately-thick microstrip patch antennas. Five typical geometries are designed according to the null reactance condition. A nonlinear regression, based on HFSS simulations, is implemented in order to identify the most robust geometry, regarding the manufacturing process. The analysis focus is on broadside axial ratio degradation and frequency deviation parameters. Experimental results validate the proposed approach and the nonlinear regression calculations.

title: Evaluation of photobiomodulation therapy associated with guided bone regeneration in critical size defects. In vivo study

description: Abstract The repair of bone defects raises the interest of investigators in several health specialties. Grafting techniques with bone substitutes and laser therapies have been investigated to replace autogenous bone and accelerate the bone healing process. Objective To evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) associated with guided bone regeneration (GBR) in critical size defects. Material and Methods The study was conducted on 80 male rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus, Wistar) submitted to surgical creation of a critical size defect on the calvaria, divided into eight study groups: group C (control - only blood clot); group M (collagen membrane); group PBMT (photobiomodulation therapy); group AB (autogenous bone); group AB+PBMT; group AB+M; group PBMT+M; group AB+PBMT+M. The animals were killed 30 days postoperatively. After tissue processing, bone regeneration was evaluated by histomorphometric analysis and statistical analyses were performed (Tukey test, p&lt;0.05). Results All groups had greater area of newly formed bone compared to group C (9.96±4.49%). The group PBMT+M (achieved the greater quantity of new bone (64.09±7.62%), followed by groups PBMT (47.67±8.66%), M (47.43±15.73%), AB+PBMT (39.15±16.72%) and AB+PBMT+M (35.82±7.68%). After group C, the groups AB (25.10±16.59%) and AB+M (22.72±13.83%) had the smallest quantities of newly formed bone. The area of remaining particles did not have statistically significant difference between groups AB+M (14.93±8.92%) and AB+PBMT+M (14.76±6.58%). Conclusion The PBMT utilization may be effective for bone repair, when associated with bone regeneration techniques.
