Danos causados por bovinos em clones de eucalipto em sistema silvipastoril na região amazônica

The objective of this work was to evaluate the damage caused by cattle to eucalyptus clones in silvopastoral system, after nine months after planting. The experiment was conducted in a spatial arrangement of tracks considering the design was completely randomized with six replications and four treatments: a) Clone VM01 with access to cattle at nine months (TR1); b) Clone I144 with access to cattle at nine months (TR2); c) VM01 clone without cattle access (TR3); and d) Clone I144 without cattle access (TR4). Six annealated crossbred cattle were introduced in each treatment, weighing 300 kg in Brachiaria brizantha cv. Xaraés (MG-5) and maintained for three periods of approximately 14 days. Tree damage was assessed at 300, 332 and 360 days after planting according to the damaged parts (incidence) and a scale of classes and grades was established. The entry of cattle in the silvopastoral system nine months after planting, negatively affected (P≤0.05) the initial growth of the forest stand. Low-intensity damage was identified as branch breaking, high intensity as trunk breaking and extreme intensity as tipping, varying according to the clone. Animal access is not recommended at nine months after forest planting and should be carried out at older ages of the clones, with larger dimensions in total height and diameter at breast height.O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os danos causados por bovinos a clones de eucalipto em sistema silvipastoril, nove meses após o plantio. O experimento foi conduzido em arranjo espacial de faixas, o delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com seis repetições e quatro tratamentos: a) Clone VM01 com acesso do gado aos nove meses (TR1); b) Clone I144 com acesso do gado aos nove meses (TR2); c) Clone VM01 sem acesso do gado (TR3); e d) Clone I144 sem acesso do gado (TR4). Foram introduzidos seis bovinos mestiços anelorados em cada tratamento, com peso de 300 kg no pasto de Brachiaria brizantha cv. Xaraés (MG-5) e mantido por três períodos de aproximadamente 14 dias. Os danos nas árvores foram avaliados aos 300, 332 e 360 dias após o plantio em função das partes danificadas (incidência) e uma escala de classes e notas foi estabelecida. A entrada de bovinos no sistema silvipastoril aos nove meses após o plantio afetou negativamente (P≤0,05) o crescimento inicial do povoamento florestal. Foram identificados danos de baixa intensidade, como quebra de galhos, alta intensidade, como quebra do tronco e de extrema intensidade, como tombamento, variando conforme o clone. Não se recomenda o acesso dos animais aos nove meses após o plantio florestal, devendo ser realizado em idades mais avançadas dos clones, tendo estes, maiores dimensões em altura total e diâmetro à altura do peito

Alterações cognitivas na infecção pelo HIV: uma revisão sistemática: Cognitive changes in HIV infection: a systematic review

Provocada pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana, com a síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida, numa pessoa tem o seu sistema imunológico prejudicado, tornando-se suscetível a outras doenças e infecção. Tem-se a estimativa de que 50% dos infectados com o referido vírus podem sofrer alterações cognitivas. Diante disso, este estudo tem como objetivo refletir sobre mudanças estruturais cerebrais e comprometimento cognitivo em pacientes com HIV. Portanto, trata-se de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, desenvolvida a partir da seleção de estudos nas bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed e BVS/Medline a partir do uso de descritores DeCS/MeSH e aplicação de critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Após a análise e interpretação dos dados, concluiu-se que há uma significativa prevalência de HAND em adultos infectados por HIV, no que se refere a alterações cognitivas, especialmente entre pacientes do sexo feminino, de baixa escolaridade e renda, com diagnóstico tardio e baixa quantidade de linfócitos CD4 no início do tratamento. Entre essas pessoas, revelam-se comprometimentos quanto à memória, atenção, controle de impulsos, velocidade de processamento e motora, dentre outros

Robust estimation of bacterial cell count from optical density

Optical density (OD) is widely used to estimate the density of cells in liquid culture, but cannot be compared between instruments without a standardized calibration protocol and is challenging to relate to actual cell count. We address this with an interlaboratory study comparing three simple, low-cost, and highly accessible OD calibration protocols across 244 laboratories, applied to eight strains of constitutive GFP-expressing E. coli. Based on our results, we recommend calibrating OD to estimated cell count using serial dilution of silica microspheres, which produces highly precise calibration (95.5% of residuals <1.2-fold), is easily assessed for quality control, also assesses instrument effective linear range, and can be combined with fluorescence calibration to obtain units of Molecules of Equivalent Fluorescein (MEFL) per cell, allowing direct comparison and data fusion with flow cytometry measurements: in our study, fluorescence per cell measurements showed only a 1.07-fold mean difference between plate reader and flow cytometry data

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

Elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76TeV

The elliptic flow, v(2), of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity (2.5 <y <4) is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)= 2.76TeVwith the ALICE detector at the LHC. The scalar product, two- and four-particle Q cumulants and Lee-Yang zeros methods are used. The dependence of the v(2) of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays on the collision centrality, in the range 0-40%, and on transverse momentum, p(T), is studied in the interval 3 <p(T)<10 GeV/c. A positive v(2) is observed with the scalar product and two-particle Q cumulants in semi-central collisions (10-20% and 20-40% centrality classes) for the p(T) interval from 3 to about 5GeV/c with a significance larger than 3 sigma, based on the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties. The v(2) magnitude tends to decrease towards more central collisions and with increasing pT. It becomes compatible with zero in the interval 6 <p(T)<10 GeV/c. The results are compared to models describing the interaction of heavy quarks and open heavy-flavour hadrons with the high-density medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
