title: Host plants for mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in grapevine crops

description: ABSTRACT Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) are considered pest insects of economic importance in grapevine crops. They are highly polyphagous, feeding on host plants of about 250 families. This study aimed to identify host plants for mealybugs in grapevine crops, in the São Francisco Valley region, Brazil. The samples included weeds, ornamentals, windbreaks, fruit trees and native plants of the Caatinga biome. A total of 37 species of host plants for mealybugs were identified, distributed in 18 families. The Malvaceae family was the most frequent one, with eigth host species identified, followed by Fabaceae with four and Euphorbiaceae with three. Most of these host plants are being recorded here for the first time in association with mealybugs species. From the identified plant species, 24 are hosts for Maconelicoccus hirsutus, 16 for Phenacoccus solenopsis, one for Ferrisia virgata, one for Dysmicoccus brevipes and one for Planococcus citri. The obtained results are important to better understand the host plant diversity for mealybugs, in order to implement integrated pest management programs.

title: Precocity, yield and water-use efficiency of banana plants under planting densities and irrigation depths, in semiarid region

description: ABSTRACT Banana is a crop of major importance for the Brazilian semiarid region. However, because of the low availability and irregularities of the rainfall in this area, it is necessary to combine techniques that allow a higher water-use efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different combinations of irrigation depths and planting densities on the precocity, yield and water-use efficiency of BRS Platina banana plants, in the semiarid region of the Bahia state, Brazil. A randomized block design with four replicates was used, in a split-plot arrangement. Irrigation depths of 55 %, 70 %, 85 % and 100 % of the crop evapotranspiration (ETc) were assigned to the plot, and the planting densities of 1,600 plants ha-1, 2,000 plants ha-1, 2,666 plants ha-1 and 3,333 plants ha-1 to the split-plot. The hands weight and number of fruits decreased in a linear way with the increase in the planting density (1,600 plants ha-1 to 3,333 plants ha-1) from 10.89 kg to 9.49 kg and from 97.16 to 89.86, respectively; whereas the hands yield (15.5 t ha-1 to 25.79 t ha-1) and the harvest period (442 to 455 days) increased. The number of fruits increased linearly from 89.46 to 98.08 with the irrigation depth of 55 % to 100 % of the ETc. The yield and water-use efficiency increased linearly as the planting density increased (1,600 plants ha-1 to 3,333 plants ha-1) from 5.14 to 8.60, while the water-use efficiency decreased with the irrigation depth from 7.97 to 5.50, conidering 55 % to 100 % of the ETc. It is possible to obtain higher yields and a higher water-use efficiency by using a higher planting density and irrigation levels below 100 % of the ETc.

title: Reaction of common bean genotypes to the reproduction of Meloidogyne javanica and Meloidogyne incognita

description: ABSTRACT The production of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) may be compromised by a variety of pests and diseases, with root-knot nematodes standing out among the soil-borne pathogens that cause significant losses. It was assessed the reaction of common bean genotypes to the reproduction of these nematodes, with emphasis on the two species most frequently found parasitizing the crop: Meloidogyne javanica and Meloidogne incognita. The experiments were conducted in a greenhouse, using a completely randomized design, with 26 treatments (genotypes), ten replications and plot consisting of a pot containing one plant. Each plot was inoculated with 1,000 eggs and second-stage juveniles and assessed at 62 days after the inoculation, when the final populations were estimated. The genotypic resistance was determined based on two criteria: reproduction factor and index. All the genotypes were susceptible to M. incognita according to both assessment criteria. The IAC Alvorada, IAC Imperador, BRS Esplendor and BRS Esteio cultivars, although may be classified as resistant to M. javanica by the reproduction factor, are classified only as moderately resistant if the assessment criterion is the reproduction index.

title: Effects of linear and undulating periodization of strength training in the acceleration of skater children

description: Abstract Aim: This study aimed to compare the effects of linear periodization (LP) and undulating periodization (UP) of strength training on acceleration in skater children. Methods: Twenty-nine girls (9.67±1.29 years-old, 34.47±8.06kg, 1.39±0.13m) were distributed into two groups: linear periodization group (LPG, n=14) and undulating periodization group (UPG, n=15). Six levels of progressive training were designed based on activities such as multi-jumps, plyometrics, sled towing, and facilitated exercises. The training lasted 16 weeks, with a 1-h session on three non-consecutive days per week. The acceleration was recorded by digital videography following the major trochanter of the femur, at four moments and under two conditions: static (SS) and dynamic start (DS) in a rectilinear path. Statistical significance was set at 5%. Results: ANOVA indicated group*moment interaction in SS and DS for velocity (F3,81=7.883; p&lt;0.001; pη2=0.226; F3,81=2.36; p=0.078; pη2=0.08-trend, respectively) and acceleration (F3,81=3.96; p=0.011; pη2=0.128; F3,81=2.92; p=0.039; pη2=0.098, respectively). Both groups increased velocity in SS and DS (UPG/SS: 1st=4.07, 2nd=9.75, 3rd=8.91, 4th=9.25m/s; LPG/SS: 1st=4.27, 2nd=7.13, 3rd=7.61, 4th=7.99m/s; UPG/DS: 1st=8.30, 2nd=8.73, 3rd=8.12, 4th=9.27m/s; LPG/DS: 1st=8.20, 2nd=8.31, 3rd=7.90, 4th=8.96m/s) and acceleration (UPG/SS: 1st=2.00, 2nd=8.69, 3rd=4.71, 4th=5.02m/s2; LPG/SS: 1st=2.37, 2nd=3.39, 3rd=3.68, 4th=4.12m/s2; UPG/DS: 1st=1.78, 2nd=1.97, 3rd=1.65, 4th=2.46m/s2; LPG/DS: 1st=1.67, 2nd=1.70, 3rd=1.48, 4th=1.93m/s2). Conclusion: Both strength training periodization protocols were effective in developing acceleration and velocity in girl skaters over 16 weeks; however, UP was more efficient than LP for improving acceleration.

title: Rate of force development to evaluate the neuromuscular fatigue and recovery after an intermittent isometric handgrip task with different blood flow restriction conditions

description: Abstract Aim: To investigate the neuromuscular fatigue and recovery after an intermittent isometric handgrip exercise (IIHE) executed until failure with different blood flow restriction (BFR) conditions (free flow, partial and total vascular restriction). Methods: Thirteen healthy men carried out an IIHE at 45% of maximum voluntary isometric force (MVIF) until failure with total restriction (TR), partial restriction (PR) or free flow (FF). The rate of force development (RFD) was extracted from the MIVF over the time intervals of 0-30, 0-50, 0-100, and 0-200ms and normalized by MVIF [relative RFD (RFDr)]. Results: The RFDr decreased significantly (p&lt;0.01) after the IIHE in all BFR conditions and time intervals studied, remaining lower for five minutes. The medians of the RFDr in FF condition were significantly lower (p=0.01) at 30ms (1.56 %MVIF·s-1) and 50ms (1.70 %MVIF·s-1) when compared to TR at 30ms (2.34 %MVIF·s-1) and 50ms (2.63 %MVIF·s-1) in minute 1 post failure. Conclusions: These results show that, regardless of the blood flow restriction level, there is no RFD recovery five minutes after an exhaustive IIHE. When the task was executed with FF, the reduction of the RFD was greater when compared with the TR condition.

title: EXPLOITING THE TIMETABLING FLEXIBILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE VEHICLE SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH HETEROGENEOUS FLEET

description: ABSTRACT In the context of a heterogeneous fleet, the single-depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem is known as the Vehicle Type Scheduling Problem (VTSP). In this paper, we extend a VTSP model proposed in the literature to enable timetabling flexibility. Two strategies were developed to promote flexibility: aggregated trips and time windows. The former allows to aggregate two or more trips, occurring close in time, into a single one through the use of larger vehicle types, while the latter allows shifting the departure time of scheduled trips backward in few minutes. Both approaches were tested on generated instances that simulate the traffic behavior of a Brazilian city, where clock-face departure pattern is not required and demand peak times occur. We verified significant savings in the daily operation of the public transportation service with acceptable impact on passengers’ experience.

title: HIGH-ORDER MULTIVARIATE MARKOV CHAIN APPLIED IN DOW JONES AND IBOVESPA INDEXES

description: ABSTRACT In this paper we analyzed the probabilities of transitions of state between Ibovespa and Dow Jones indexes using High-order Multivariate Markov Chain. While the stock market may be profitable, the existence of risks can lead to large losses. A mathematical model capable of considering different sources can aid in decision making. This model can work with stochastic data, causing different databases to be transformed into transitional matrices between states. For this, a set of a daily variation data were used between January 2008 and March 2018. Through this application, it was possible to show an interaction between the indexes and that the highest frequency of events was of the variation of -0.49 to 0.5% in Dow Jones to -0.49 to 0.5% in Ibovespa, with 428 cases, and the probability of this situation occurring again, of Dow Jones at time t to Ibovespa at time t+2, is 27.21%. Empirical results suggest that this application can help investors make decisions based on transition probabilities.

title: CEP ONLINE: A WEB-ORIENTED EXPERT SYSTEM FOR STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL

description: ABSTRACT In this paper, a new software for Statistical Process Control (SPC) is proposed. The system, the so-called CEP Online, was developed based on statistical computing resources of well-known free softwares, such as HTML, PHP, R and MySQL under an online server with operating system Linux Ubuntu. The main uni and multivariate SPC tools are available for monitoring and evaluation of manufacturing and non-manufacturing production processes over time. Some advantages of the new software are: (i) low operational cost, since it is cloud-based, only needing a computer connected to the Internet; (ii) easy to use with great interaction with the user; (iii) it does not require investment in any specific hardware or software; (iv) real time reports generation on process condition monitoring and process capability. Thus, the CEP Online offers for SPC practitioners fast, efficient and accurate SPC procedures. Therefore, CEP Online becomes an important resource for those who have no access to non-free softwares, such as SAS, SPSS, Minitab and STATISTICA. To the best of our knowledge, the CEP Online is unique with respect to its characteristics.
