Sharp upper estimates for the first eigenvalue of a Jacobi type operator

Our purpose in this article is to obtain sharp upper estimates for the first positive eigenvalue of a Jacobi type operator, which is a suitable extension of the linearized operators of the higher order mean curvatures of a closed hypersurface immersed either in the Euclidean space or in the Euclidean sphere.Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq): grant 303977/2015-9 y grant 308757/2015-7.peerReviewe

Significance Of Assessment Experiences During Initial Teacher Training In Physical Education

This study investigates how students in the final semester of their teacher training program (licensure) at the Center of Physical Education and Sports (CEFD), Espírito Santo Federal University, Brazil, (re)interpret their assessment experiences, an integral component of their teacher training. It employs the narrative as a theoretical and methodological perspective, and it utilizes student portfolios, as well as focus groups and semi-structured individual interviews as inputs for data generation. Ten students in their eighth, or final, semester participated in this study. These were the total respondents to a "call for volunteers" among the 2014 graduating class. The results suggest that the students believe the assessment processes of their teaching practices in physical education are disjointed. They feel that the disciplines that allow them to review their own performance during teacher training are more efficient and play a stronger role in their education.221627

Estudos sobre a nutriçao mineral do arroz: XXVII . Fatores que influenciam a absorção radicular do fósforo pela variedade IAC-164

Within the range of 15 to 240 minutes it was found that absorption increased in a linear fashion.By varying the external concentration of H2PO-4 from 10-7M to 10-2 M a dual pattern uptake was observed: a high affinity macnamism with a Km= 6.17 x 10-6M and a second one with low affinity (Km= 1.64 x 10-2M) . Absorption was raised when the external concentration of Mg ions varied from 10-6 to 10-4When supplied in the range of 10-6 to 10-2M the chloride salis of K and Ca rediced the absorption, the effect being traced to the CI ion. Zincsulfate (10-8to 10-4M) had no effect on phosphate absorption.Na faixa de 15 a 240 minutos a absorção do fósforo marcado com P32 é crescente e linear. A variação na concentração externa de H2PO4 mostrou existirem duas isotermas, uma operando em baixas concentrações (Km = 6,17x10-6M) e outra correspondente a altas concentrações (Km = 1,64x10-2M). Oíon magnésio aumenta a absorção e o Cl- causa diminuição quando fornecido na concentração de 10-2m.SO4-2e Zn+2 não mostraram efeito

Pleomorphic adenoma and carcinoma ex‐pleomorphic adenoma tumorigenesis: a proteomic analysis

Objectives To conduct a comprehensive proteomic analysis of normal salivary gland tissue, pleomorphic adenoma (PA), and carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA), and validate the proteomic findings using immunohistochemistry. Methods Six normal salivary gland tissues, seven PA and seven CXPA samples underwent laser microdissection followed by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Protein identification and quantification were performed using MaxQuant software. Statistical analysis and functional enrichment were conducted using the Perseus platform and STRING tool, respectively. Immunohistochemistry was used for validation. Results Comparative proteomic analysis revealed 2680 proteins across the three tissue types, with 799 significantly altered between groups. Translocation protein SEC63 homolog, Annexin A6 and Biglycan were up-regulated in CXPA compared to PA. Decorin was markedly up-regulated in both PA and CXPA compared to normal salivary gland (log2 fold changes of 7.58 and 7.38, respectively). Validation confirmed elevated levels of Biglycan and Decorin in the extracellular matrix of CXPA compared to PA. Conclusions Proteomic analysis identified differential protein expression patterns associated with malignant transformation of PA into CXPA. Findings indicate a crucial role for extracellular matrix proteins, specifically Biglycan and Decorin, in the tumorigenic progression of PA and CXPA

Cassava processing wastewater as a platform for third generation biodiesel production

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate third generation biodiesel production by microalgae Phormidium autumnale using cassava processing wastewater as a platform. Experiments were performed in a heterotrophic bubble column bioreactor. The study focused on the evaluation of the bioreactor (batch and fed-batch) of different operational modes and the analysis of biofuel quality. Results indicate that fed-batch cultivations improved system performance, elevating biomass and oil productions to 12.0 g L−1 and 1.19 g L−1, respectively. The composition of this oil is predominantly saturated (60 %) and monounsaturated (39 %), resulting in a biodiesel that complys with U.S., European and Brazilian standards. The technological route developed indicates potential for sustainable production of bulk oil and biodiesel, through the minimization of water and chemical demands required to support such a process
