    Zinc rates and sources added to a NPK granulated fertilizer was observed on corn crop cultivated on a soil originally under "cerrado" vegetation from Uberlândia, MG region. Four zinc rates (0, 1 , 2 e 4 kg ha-1) derived from three types of zinc sources (ZnO-incorporated, FTE BR-12-incorporated and granule FTE BR-12) were used. The ZnO and the "Fritted Trace Elements" (FTE BR-12) were incorporated to the fertilizer before granulation. An additional treatment with granule FTE and later blended to the NPK fertilizer was also tested. The results showed that Zn incorporated to the NPK fertilizer did not increase grain yield and dry matter yield. Zinc in the leaf tissue increased with the applied Zn rates, and the ZnO incorporated into de NPK fertilizer showed the highest Zn concentration. The FTE incorporated into the NPK granules and the granulated FTE blended with NPK were similar with respect to Zn availability to the corn crop, evaluated by the Zn concentration in the leaves.O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos de fontes, doses e formas de adição de zinco a um formulado NPK sobre a produção de grãos e matéria seca de milho em um solo de cerrado da região de Uberlândia, MG. Quatro doses de zinco foram aplicadas ao solo (0, 1, 2 e 4 kg de Zn ha-1), através de três formas (ZnO-incorporado, FTE BR-12-incorporado e FTE BR-12-gramilado) adicionadas a um formulado NPK (4-30-10). O ZnO e as Fritas em pó foram incorporados ao formulado durante a fabricação, antes da granulação. Um tratamento adicional de FTE previamente granulado e depois misturado ao formulado, também foi testado. Os resultados mostraram que o zinco agregado ao adubo NPK não teve efeito sobre a produção de grãos de milho, nem tampouco sobre a produção de matéria seca, independentemente da dose ou da fonte empregada. Os teores de Zn na folha do milho aumentaram significativamente com as doses de Zn aplicada, sendo o ZnO incorporado ao granulo do formulado NPK, o tratamento que apresentou os mais altos teores. Por sua vez, o FTE em pó incorporado no granulo do formulado e o FTE previamente granulado e posteriormente misturado ao formulado não diferiram entre si quanto aos teores de Zn na folha

    In recent years, an increasing number of outbreaks of Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika viruses have been reported in Asia and the Americas. Monitoring virus genotype diversity is crucial to understand the emergence and spread of outbreaks, both aspects that are vital to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies. Hence, we developed an efficient method to classify virus sequences with respect to their species and sub-species (i.e. serotype and/or genotype). This tool provides an easy-to-use software implementation of this new method and was validated on a large dataset assessing the classification performance with respect to whole-genome sequences and partial-genome sequences.publishersversionpublishe
