Influence of Clostridium butyricum inoculum age on glycerol fermentation / InfluĂȘncia da idade do inĂłculo de Clostridium butyricum na fermentação de glicerol
The high production of biodiesel in recent years has generated a large amount of crude glycerol that cannot be absorbed and totally process in the industry. In this way, new studies focused on using this residue have become important to promote the development of biodiesel industry. The 1,3- propanediol (1,3-PDO) is an organic compound with bifunctional character that has great potential to be used in several reactions of polymer synthesis. It is usually used in polycondensation to produce polyesters, polyurethanes and polyethers. 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) and organic acids are simultaneously produced by Clostridium butyricum growing on glycerol. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the growth kinetics of Clostridium butyricum on glycerol-based medium and to observe the influence of inoculum age on the product formed, such as 1,3-propanediol and butyric acid. The results showed the kinetic stages of the Clostridium butyricum growing on glycerol, however no significant difference between the products formed was observed in different conditions studied.
\u3cem\u3eStylosanthes\u3c/em\u3e cv. Campo Grande in Diets of Beef Cattle: Intake and Digestibility of Nutrients and Ruminal Fermentation
Recent studies have shown that it is possible to obtain well-fermented silages from tropical legumes (Heinritz et al., 2012). Souza et al. (2014) concluded that Stylosanthes cv. Campo Grande silage (StS); (Stylosantes capitata + S. macrocephala), when included in the proportion of 50% dietary dry matter (DM), could replace corn silage in diets of feedlot beef cattle without altering intake and performance.
However, there is a lack of information about increasing proportion of StS that should be included in diets for beef cattle. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the intake and digestibility of nutrients, and ruminal fermentation of beef cattle fed diets with Stylosanthes and concentrate in different levels

The cascade of chaos: from early adversity to interpersonal aggression
We developed a cascade model to reconstruct the hypothesized developmental progression from (1) increased resource instability during childhood to (2) decreased maternal sensitivity during childhood to (3) social vulnerability cognitive schemata to (4) faster life history strategies to (5) decreased behavioral regulation to (6) more pronounced âDark Triadâ personalities to (7) higher levels of interpersonal aggression in adulthood. The hypothesized cascade model also evaluated the cross-cultural generality of this theoretically-specified developmental progression across a sampling of different societies: (1) the United States of America (N=144); (2) Mexico (N=118); (3) Brazil (N=1091, distributed across 3 data collection sites); (4) Sweden (N=144); and (5) the United Kingdom (N=260). Out of 21 interactive tests of the cross-cultural robustness of the main model parameters, only five reached statistical significance, and were relatively small in magnitude compared to their main effects. In no case did the magnitude and direction of the interaction completely reverse that of the corresponding main effect of the predictor, but merely either augmented or attenuated it somewhat across the affected study sites. We conclude that the results generally supported both the configural and metric invariance of the cascade model to a relatively high, albeit imperfect, degree

The influence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and paracetamol used for pain control of orthodontic tooth movement: a systematic review
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to perform a systematic literature review to determine if there is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that interferes less within tooth movement. This research was performed according to the PRISMA statement. Articles were searched in eight electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO, Google Scholar, and Open Grey). Only experimental studies on male Wistar rats were selected, which included experiments related to the influence of NSAIDs on orthodontic movement. Studies in animals with pathological conditions, literature review articles, letters to the editor and/or editorials, case reports, abstracts, books, and book chapters were excluded. Each of the steps of this systematic literature review was performed by two examiners independently. Results: the total sample consisted of 505 articles, from which 6 studies were eligible after a qualitative analysis. From the drugs assessed, paracetamol was unanimous for not interfering within orthodontic movement when compared to the control group. However, drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, sodium diclofenac, and selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors caused a reduction in tooth movement when compared to the control group. Conclusion: paracetamol could be considered the drug of choice for pain relief because it interferes less within tooth movement
