Particle production azimuthal asymmetries in a clustering of color sources model

The collective interactions of many partons in the first stage of the collisions is the usual accepted explanation of the sizable elliptical flow. The clustering of color sources provides a framework of partonic interactions. In this scheme, we show a reasonable agreement with RHIC data for pT<1.5 GeV/c in both the dependence of v2 transverse momentum and in the shape of the nuclear modified factor on the azimuthal angle for different centralities. We show the predictions at LHC energies for Pb-Pb. In the case of proton-proton collisions a sizable v2 is obtained at this energy.Comment: To appear in Journal of Physics

Species of Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae), their host plants, and parasitoids in small fruit production areas in the State of Amapá, Brazil.

Fruit flies and associated parasitoids were determined in native and introduced fruit species in the state of Amapá, Brazil. Fruits were collected every 30 d, from Jan to Dec 2012, on 3 small farms in the municipalities of Mazagão, Porto Grande, and Santana. We collected 412 samples (78 species of plants belonging to 32 families and consisting of 4,554 fruits weighing 323.4 kg) and obtained 5,252 Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) puparia from 107 infested samples (20 plant species from 13 botanical families). We report here the occurrence of 11 species of Anastrepha and 5 species of parasitoids (4 Braconidae and 1 Figitidae species; both families in the order Hymenoptera). New hosts for Anastrepha distincta Greene, Anastrepha leptozona Hendel, Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart), and Anastrepha serpentina (Wiedemann) were documented in Brazil

Determinação das condições de qRT-PCR para genes envolvidos no fenômeno hard-to-cook em feijão carioca.

O fenômeno hard-to-cook promove a diminuição no amaciamento por cocção, alteração na palatabilidade e diminuição na disponibilidade de proteínas e carboidratos, prejudicando a comercialização dos grãos. Como parte de um estudo que prevê a caracterização físico-química, bioquímicas e moleculares associadas ao endurecimento dos grãos de feijão, este estudo objetiva ajustar e implementar protocolos que possibilitem a avaliação da expressão de genes alvos responsáveis pelo endurecimento
