title: Purification and characterization of angiotensin converting enzyme-inhibitory derived from crocodile blood hydrolysates

description: Abstract Various enzyme types were used to hydrolyze crocodile blood peptides showing an Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Alcalase hydrolysates (ALH) and Protease G6 hydrolysates (PG6H) showed the highest degree of hydrolysis (P&lt;0.05). However, PG6H was significantly observed to have an effective ACE-inhibitory (ACE-I) activity (94.23%) with an IC50 of 0.021±0.02 mg/mL. An unbound fraction of PG6H showed the highest ACE-I activity and was then subjected to two steps RP-HPLC process. The potent fractions including RC1 and RC2 exhibiting the highest ACE-I activity (88.33 & 84.54%, respectively) were identified using LC-MS/MS. Two novel ACE-inhibitory peptides were identified as GVAAN (431.25 Da) and LHALLL (679.52 Da), and characterized by GRAVY were 60 and 83%, respectively. The crocodile blood hydrolysate obtained by Protease G6 could serve as a source of ACE-inhibitory activity for physiological benefits.

title: Anthocyanins from blackberry (Rubus fructicosus L.) impregnated in yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosus (L.) Urb.) by osmotic dehydration

description: Abstract Yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosus (L.) Urb.) tuber has a low carbohydrate content and contains several aminoacids, but contains few active compounds, such as vitamins and antioxidants. Anthocyanins are antioxidants found in Rubus fructicosus L. The osmotic drying is a technique that can be used to impregnate antioxidants in a matrix, so the objective of this study was to impregnate yam bean tuber slices with anthocyanin. The effect of temperature (40, 50 and 60oC), sucrose content (40, 50 and 60oBrix) and vacuum pulse (0, 300 and 600 mbar) on water loss (WL), solid gain (SG), color changes (ΔΕ) and anthocyanin concentration (ΔA) during osmotic drying of yam bean slices was determined. Polynomial equations were used to determine changes in WL, SG, ΔΕ and ΔA of yam bean slices after 6 h of osmotic drying. An osmotic solution at 60oC with a SC of 40oBrix, applying a vacuum pulse of 12 mbar maximized anthocyanin impregnation (6.67 mg anthocyanin per g initial dry matter) in tuber slices. The Page equation predicted optimum WL, SG and ΔA of yam bean tuber slices during osmotic drying. No relation was found between temperature, sucrose content and vacuum pulse with K and n parameters in the Page equation.

title: Palisadegrass effects on N fertilizer dynamic in intercropping systems with corn

description: ABSTRACT Corn grain yield, nitrogen (N) fertilizer efficiency and distribution to corn alone and three forms of corn and palisadegrass (Urochloa spp.) intercropping implantation was investigated. A field experiment with 15N labeling fertilizer was performed in randomized block design. No form of palisadegrass intercropping implantation affected corn grain yield, total N accumulation and N use efficiency (NUE), which were 8.7 t ha-1, 205 kg ha-1 and 37% respectively. The palisadegrass produced on average 1.9 t of dry mass, absorbing a maximum of 6 kg ha-1 or 5.5% of N fertilizer during corn growing. Furthermore, the palisadegrass did not affect N fertilizer distribution in soil-plant system, in which 28.2% was recovered in the soil and 40.4% in the plants (corn + palisadegrass). The results show that for the three intercropping implantation methods the palisadegrass did not compete with corn for N fertilizer.

title: Sampling procedures for inventory of commercial volume tree species in Amazon Forest

description: ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of tropical tree species can affect the consistency of the estimators in commercial forest inventories, therefore, appropriate sampling procedures are required to survey species with different spatial patterns in the Amazon Forest. For this, the present study aims to evaluate the conventional sampling procedures and introduce the adaptive cluster sampling for volumetric inventories of Amazonian tree species, considering the hypotheses that the density, the spatial distribution and the zero-plots affect the consistency of the estimators, and that the adaptive cluster sampling allows to obtain more accurate volumetric estimation. We use data from a census carried out in Jamari National Forest, Brazil, where trees with diameters equal to or higher than 40 cm were measured in 1,355 plots. Species with different spatial patterns were selected and sampled with simple random sampling, systematic sampling, linear cluster sampling and adaptive cluster sampling, whereby the accuracy of the volumetric estimation and presence of zero-plots were evaluated. The sampling procedures applied to species were affected by the low density of trees and the large number of zero-plots, wherein the adaptive clusters allowed concentrating the sampling effort in plots with trees and, thus, agglutinating more representative samples to estimate the commercial volume.

title: Inadvertent insertion of a venous catheter into the internal thoracic vein: a word of caution

description: Abstract Central venous catheters are widely used in clinical practice and are linked to many types of complications, including incorrect positioning at the time the catheter is fitted. Here, the authors describe a case in which a fully implantable catheter was inadvertently positioned in the right internal thoracic vein. The complication was identified when the nursing team attempted to use the catheter. The right internal thoracic vein is within the radiographic projection of the right brachiocephalic vein and the superior vena cava, simulating correct catheter placement on an anteroposterior radiograph. In cases of central catheter malfunction during the immediate postoperative period, work-up should include oblique and lateral views, to rule out the complication described here without a need for computed tomography.

title: “Reading and Writing the World” with Mathematics: studying trigonometry with students from the 9th grade of Elementary School

description: Abstract This article explores the limits and possibilities of teaching Mathematics for social justice, according to the concepts of reading and writing the world with Mathematics conceived by Eric Gutstein. Ninth grade students in a comfortable position from a private school in a small town in São Paulo participated in a study group, applying trigonometric properties of the right triangle to plan accessible facilities for people with disabilities and impaired mobility. Data were gathered from the students' and the author's diaries, and answers to a reflective questionnaire. Results show it is possible to achieve goals of teaching Mathematics for social justice: reading and writing the world with Mathematics, succeeding academically, changing one's orientation to mathematics and bolstering the individual's social agency. Concerning limits, the small scale of the study group, difficulties that demanded the teacher's assistance and the limited time the participants had for the activity stood out. It is expected that these aspects can be improved by expanding the groups and performing other projects.

title: Visual education and climate change: The invention of global warming

description: Abstract Using the covers of the reports available on the website of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, working with the Foucauldian discourse analysis, we conducted our study by verifying the emergence of three statements: the globalization of the warming process; the dramatization of climate change and its effects; and the risks of warming to different types of populations. Our objective was to suspend the judgment on the object global warming and, from the surface of its statements, to evidence it as a social construct, fraught with relations of knowledge and power. The description of these statements can evidence them as a social production, in which the discursive control occurs by the emotionality and the reconstruction of scientific conceptions. This process points to the pedagogical potential of these statements, since readers can grasp concepts, position themselves and act socially in response to the problems and solutions conveyed in these documents.

title: Optimizing the texture and retrogradation properties of Niangao (Rice Cake) made with naturally fermented rice flour

description: Abstract Niangao is prepared from polished round-grained or waxy rice flour and it is a popular and traditional steamed rice cake in China, but its preparation is different. In this study, Niangao was produced with naturally fermented rice flour and the effects of fermentation on physical properties and rheological characteristics were investigated. The results suggest that the water-holding capacity, texture, and color of the samples were significantly improved after natural fermentation, while amylose content was decreased. Additionally, fermentation had a marked effect on retarding the retrogradation of Niangao because fermented Niangao exhibited lower degree of retrogradation compared with the control. Control means Niangao which was produced by unfermented rice flour. Fermented Niangao was harder to be digested than the control was.

title: Effects of two different contact lenses on ocular physiological parameters and tear function tests

description: Abstract Objective: To investigate the effects of two types of contact lenses made of two different types of silicone hydrogel material on ocular physiological parameters and tear function tests. Methods: The contact lenses with the appropriate diopters were supplied to the volunteering patients. The patients were evaluated before wearing the contact lenses (visit0:V0), at the first month(visit1:V1) and at the thirth month(visit2:V2) following their wear. At all visits a detailed biomicroscopic examination was done, ocular physiological variables were collected, the tear function tests were performed and the tear meniscus area (TMA) was visualized and measured with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Results: The results of Schirmer 1 test were 12.07 ± 1.51 [9-16] mm for the right eyes (samfilcon A group) and 12.09 ± 1.5 [9-16] mm for the left eyes (senofilcon A group) at V0. (p=0.950) At V2, the mean Schirmer 1 test results were 11.92±1.34 [9-15] mm in the samfilcon A group and 12.2±1.41 [9-16] mm in the senofilcon A group (p=0.239). The mean TMA dimensions in the AS-OCT images were 338.42±47.1 [241-401] microns in the samfilcon A group and 338.42±47.1 [241-401]microns in the senofilcon A group at V0. (p&gt;0.05). At V2, the mean TMA dimensions were 337.2±45.53 [241-402] microns in thesamfilcon A group and 340.31±48.22 [240-411] microns in the senofilcon A group (p=0.728). Conclusions: Our study has demonstrated that contact lenses containing samfilcon A and senofilcon A silicone hydrogel material do not cause meaningful ocular surface problems.
