    The Critical Behaviour of the Spin-3/2 Blume-Capel Model in Two Dimensions

    Full text link
    The phase diagram of the spin-3/2 Blume-Capel model in two dimensions is explored by conventional finite-size scaling, conformal invariance and Monte Carlo simulations. The model in its τ\tau-continuum Hamiltonian version is also considered and compared with others spin-3/2 quantum chains. Our results indicate that differently from the standard spin-1 Blume-Capel model there is no multicritical point along the order-disorder transition line. This is in qualitative agreement with mean field prediction but in disagreement with previous approximate renormalization group calculations. We also presented new results for the spin-1 Blume-Capel model.Comment: latex 18 pages, 4 figure

    Estudos de adaptabilidade e estabilidade de genótipos são importantes nas fases finais de um programa de melhoramento para subsidiar a recomendação de novas cultivares. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a adaptabilidade e estabilidade produtiva de genótipos de feijão-caupi de portes ereto e semiereto na região Nordeste do Brasil. Foram avaliados 20 genótipos, sendo 16 linhagens e quatro cultivares, em 38 ambientes dos estados de Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte e Sergipe, no triênio 2010-2012. Todos os ensaios foram conduzidos em delineamento de blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições. A adaptabilidade e estabilidade dos genótipos foram analisadas por meio da metodologia de Lin e Bins modificado por Carneiro (1998). Observaram-se diferenças para os efeitos de genótipos, ambientes e interação genótipo x ambiente. A linhagem MNC02-683F-1 e as cultivares BRS Guariba e BRS Cauamé apresentam ampla adaptabilidade e alta estabilidade aos ambientes do Nordeste do Brasil, sendo BRS Guariba mais adaptada a ambientes favoráveis, já MNC02-683F-1, a ambientes desfavoráveis.CONAC 2012.

    Identification of canine papillomavirus type 1 (CPV1) DNA in dogs with cutaneous papillomatosis

    Canine oral papillomavirus (COPV), also known as Canine Papillomavirus type 1 (CPV1), induces papillomas at the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and at the haired skin of dogs. The classification of Papillomavirus (PV) types is based on the L1 capsid protein and nucleotide sequence; so far, 14 CPV types have been described in several countries, but the molecular characterization of CPV in Brazil is lacking. This study investigated the presence of the PV in seven papillomas from four mixed breed dogs from Londrina/PR, Southern Brazil, by partial sequencing of the L1 gene. Seven exophytic cutaneous lesions were surgically removed and processed for histopathological and molecular characterization. Histopathology confirmed the lesions as viral papillomas due to typical histological features. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assay using the FAP59 and FAP64 primers targeted the L1 gene followed by sequence analysis of the amplicons identified CPV1 in all evaluated papilloma samples. This study represents the first description of CPV1 DNA associated with canine papillomatosis in Brazil

    Cowpea bean is a common crop quite appreciated in Brazil. However, it is known that its low yield depending on soil and climatic conditions. The aim of this research is the selection of high-performance black-eyed cowpea through GYT biplot analysis. Twelve (12) cowpea bean strains were assessed between 2016 and. The study followed a randomized complete block design, with four repetitions; two commercial cultivars were used ascheck. The following variables were assessed: number of days required for flowering, final stand, value for cultivation, pod yield, pod length, mean number of grains per pod and grain weight. The analysis of variance showed genetic variability between strains, differences between the assessed years and different strain-performance in each growing year. Based on the GYT biplot graph, cultivar BRS Itaim, and strains L9 and L7 recorded the best performance for the set of yield characteristics. Variable ?pod length? had positive correlation to bedding, number of days required for flowering and number of grains per pod. Variable ?100-grain weight? had positive correlation to final stand, pod yield and mean grain weight per pod. Strains L9, L7 and cultivar BRS Itaim recorded the best yield regarding the assessed variables
