title: Predicting sugar content of candied watermelon rind during osmotic dehydration

description: Abstract Watermelon rind, comprising 35% of the fruit’s total mass, usually discarded due to its unappealing flavor and lack of sweetness. In this study, candied watermelon rind was prepared through osmotic dehydration at vacuum (VOD) and atmospheric pressure (OD). The effects of independent variables (sucrose concentration, immersion time and temperature) on the dependent variables, including solid gain (SG) and water loss (WL) of watermelon rind, were evaluated using multiple response surface methodology. The SG and WL increased with the increasing sucrose concentration, immersion time and temperature for both VOD and OD, but VOD greatly increased the mass transfer rate. The kinetic constants were obtained by fitting the data of SG and WL to the Fick’s diffusion model. The VOD had higher kinetic constants and dehydration efficiency indices than that of OD. Besides, the mass transfer model and RSM model were statistically compared by the coefficient of determination, root mean square error and absolute average deviation, based on the validation data set. The RSM and mass transfer models provide information about the osmotic dehydration for predicting the sugar content of candied product, and helping the designers and researchers find the best design parameters and the most effective process conditions.

title: Effect of Harpin protein as an elicitor on the content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity in two hydroponically grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) varieties.

description: Abstract Harpin protein was used as an elicitor in green (butterhead) and red (oak leaf type) varieties of hydroponically grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Its impact on polyphenolic content and antioxidant capacity was evaluated. Harpin protein was sprayed three days before harvesting in concentrations of 45, 60, and 120 mg/L. Green lettuce samples showed a positive response to Harpin by significantly increasing its phenolic content from 12 (control) to 16.43 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g dry weight (DW) (120 mg/L Harpin treatment) which means a 36.9% increase. Chlorogenic acid was the only phenolic compound that increased its concentration after lettuce induction with Harpin treatment. Antioxidant capacity, evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH˙) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods, also showed a significant increase (46.5 and 64.3%, respectively) in Harpin-treated green lettuce. The red lettuce variety showed none or a negative response to Harpin treatment for all parameters evaluated. These results show that elicitation may be an effective strategy to enhance phenolic content in lettuce varieties.

title: Epidemiological, clinical and pathological evaluation of overall survival in canines with mammary neoplasms

description: ABSTRACT Canine mammary neoplasms (CMNs) are the most frequent lesions and in female dogs. However, studies correlating pathological criteria with clinical evolution in female dogs with mammary neoplasms are scarce. The present study aims to present epidemiological, clinical-pathological and overall survival data to help establish the prognosis and understand the biological behavior of CMNs. A total of 1539 cases were included (85% malignant and 13% benign). Tumor size was an important prognostic factor and was associated with overall patient survival (P&lt; 0.0001). Most dogs diagnosed with malignant neoplasms (83%) had initial clinical staging, although 17% had regional or distant metastases at the time of diagnosis and lower overall survival (P&lt; 0.0001). Carcinoma in mixed tumor was the most frequent histological type and had a better prognosis. Solid carcinomas, micropapillary carcinomas and carcinosarcomas were considered histological types with aggressive biological behavior and were associated with a worse prognosis and lower overall survival (P&lt; 0.0001).

title: Edible iron yam and maize starch convenient food flavoring packaging films with lemon essential oil as plasticization

description: Abstract Lemon essential oil was used as plasticizers to prepare iron yam/maize starch edible films. Changes of physical, microcosmic and antimicrobial properties of films were studied. Results showed that the addition of lemon essential oil led to the decrease of moisture content, transparency, whiteness index, water vapor permeability, solubility and tensile strength and the increase of b*, elongation and haze values. With the increase of lemon essential oil content, the antibacterial activity increased, and the surface and internal microstructure of the film became more and more heterogeneous. Compared with the control group, the tensile strength, water content and WVP of IYM/2LO films decreased by 21.9%, 23.5%, and 23.6%, respectively. When surfactant was added, the antimicrobial activity, solubility, haze, surface coarseness and porosity increased significantly, and the tensile strength decreased from 11.8MPa (IYM/1LO) to 7.60MPa (IYM/1LO/0.1S) obviously. The iron yam/maize starch edible films with good physical and antibacterial properties can be considered as convenient food flavoring packaging materials.

title: PHOTOCHEMICAL AND PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF YELLOW PASSION FRUIT IRRIGATED IN THE BRAZILIAN SEMIARID

description: ABSTRACT The drought stress is an important factor for crops in areas with low rainfall as in the semiarid regions and affects immediately the physiological processes and plant production. However, irrigation is an essential practice to minimize effects of drought stress since the appropriate management is done it can increase the farm income. This study aimed to analyze the photochemical and productive performance of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) hybrid ‘BRS Gigante Amarelo' irrigated in a Brazilian semiarid region. It was studied four water replacement rates (33, 66, 100 and 133% of ETo) at field conditions. A randomized block design was used with five replications and the fluorescence of chlorophyll a, yield and fruit quality were evaluated. The photochemical efficiency of photosystem II has been changed along the day at high temperatures occurring evidential damage in PHS II. Water replacement between 100 and 133% of ETo (1032 mm year-1) promoted the best production rates and quality of the fruit, however the size of the fruit and bark thickness are reduced by over 100% ETo.

title: EARLY PRUNING OF EUCALYPTUS PLANTS USING GLUFOSINATE AMMONIUM

description: ABSTRACT Eucalyptus stands out in the Brazilian silvicultural sector as the most planted tree species for commercial purposes thus, practices that facilitate management and improve wood quality are increasingly required. Although artificial mechanical pruning has been used for this crop, the use of herbicides for pruning can be more practical, rapid and have lower costs. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the use of glufosinate ammonium in the chemical pruning of eucalyptus plants. Eucalyptus seedlings were transplanted into 10-L pots filled with soil and substrate and subjected to the treatments (mechanical pruning, chemical pruning, and no pruning) 90 days after transplanting. Lateral branches were cut with pruning shears for the mechanical pruning. Glufosinate ammonium (500 g a.i. ha-1) was applied to the sides of the plants for the chemical pruning, simulating a field-planting row (3.5 x 2.0 meters), using a CO2-pressurized sprayer; the untreated branches were covered with plastic bags to avoid receiving the herbicide. The percentage of artificial pruning used was 60% of the vertical height of the eucalyptus plants. Glufosinate, glutamate, and ammonia contents, electron transport rate, percentage of pruning, plant height, number of leaves, and dry matter mass of the plants were evaluated. The application of glufosinate ammonium defoliate the treated branches and did not affect significantly the parts of the plants that did not receive the herbicide regarding the evaluated compounds, and growth of the plants, denoting that glufosinate ammonium can be used for chemical pruning of eucalyptus plants.

title: SAMPLING PROCESSES FOR Carapa guianensis AUBL. IN THE AMAZON

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to analyze the adaptive cluster sampling (ACS), simple random sampling (SRS) and systematic sampling (SS) processes to obtain the number of ha-1 trees of Carapa guianensis Aubl. in the Amazon. The data were obtained through 100% inventory and sampling simulations, considering a DBH ≥ 25 cm, a sampling intensity of 4%, a maximum error of 10% and plots of 0.09, 0.16 and 0.25 ha. The last two sizes were only used to analyze their effect on the ACS estimators. The processes were evaluated for accuracy, precision (E%) and confidence interval (CI), while the mean ha-1 of the processes were compared with that of the 100% inventory by the Z test. The ACS process showed no significant difference between its average ha-1 trees and the 100% inventory, and it was also the most accurate and the only one whose CI was true. However, it presented a final sample intensity 3.6 times greater than the simple and systematic random samplings, in addition to E% above 10%, which makes it unacceptable, legally, and economically unfeasible. The other processes had densities significantly higher than the 100% inventory, with sample intensities lower than ACS and E% lower than 10%, making them legally viable. The use of larger plots in the ACS implies larger clusters and a greater tendency to underestimate the number of trees, resulting in larger sample errors and less accuracy.

title: Development and validation of analytical method for analysis of 2,4-D, 2,4-DCP and 2,4,5-T for monitoring of public water supply

description: ABSTRACT The 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is the second most consumed herbicide in Brazil and their effects in the contamination of the water resources and consequent sanitary risk for public supply are known. The 2,4-D and its main degradation product, 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), have the potential for endocrine disruption and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) is toxic and persistent in the environment. The absence of a methodology that simultaneously determines these compounds led to the development and validation of the solid phase extraction method, environmental samples concentrations, identification and quantification in HPLC-DAD for 2,4-D, 2,4-DCP and 2,4,5-T analysisin filtered water, produced at water treatment plants, and surface water. The extraction essay and samples concentration showed recovery from 85 to 119%, standard deviation between 0.9 and 11.4%. For identification and quantification essays, detection limits ranged between 0.17 and 0.51 µg.L-1 and the quantification limit was 1.0 µg.L-1. The results showed that it is possible to employ this method for the quantification of 2,4-D, 2,4-DCP and 2,4,5-T in environmental monitoring and in water supply systems taking account of Brazilian regulatory agencies

title: Ethical Decision-Making: The Role of Self-Monitoring, Future Orientation, and Social Networks

description: Abstract This study examines the influence of individual factors (self-monitoring, temporal orientation) on social networking, and their relationship with unethical decision-making. The study used surveys to measure the unethical intentions and social network data of 129 professionals. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The findings provided evidence that individual factors influence the development of social networks and, along with self-monitoring, the likelihood of unethical decision-making. In particular, being in positions of lower network centrality increased individuals' risk of unethical intention. One explanation stems from the need for high situation control to reduce risk and ensure the success of an event, which only a closed network can provide. However, ethical low self-monitor women were also found to have low centrality, so social networks alone do not explain ethical decision-making. This research represents a step forward in our understanding of ethical decision-making through the adoption of multiple and simultaneous factors, proposing an integrated theory of individual and situational factors influencing unethical options.

title: Clinical and biochemical evaluation of dogs submitted to two methods of hydrotherapy

description: ABSTRACT The physiological parameters of heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), rectal temperature (TR), and serum activity of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzymes were determined in healthy dogs, male and female, under two hydrotherapy modalities. Ten dogs were distributed in two groups of five animals, named Group I (underwater treadmill walk) and Group II (swimming), submitted to two sessions per week with initial duration of 10 minutes, plus 5 minutes per session up to 30 minutes, during 9 weeks. The evaluations were performed before, immediately after and 4 hours after exercise in all sessions for the HR, RR and TR variables and on days one, seven, 28 and 60 for CK and LDH. There was no difference (P&gt; 0.05) when comparing the mean values of physiological parameters of heart and respiratory rate and rectal temperature. CK and LDH levels did not rise after hydrotherapy at different times and days evaluated. So, it was possible to conclude that swimming sessions and underwater treadmill walking did not cause alterations in the physiological parameters of heart and respiratory rate, rectal temperature, and the blood levels of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the proposed protocol.
