Dynamical star-disk interaction in the young stellar system V354 Mon
The main goal of this work is to characterize the mass accretion and ejection
processes of the classical T Tauri star V354 Mon, a member of the young stellar
cluster NGC 2264. In March 2008, photometric and spectroscopic observations of
V354 Mon were obtained simultaneously with the CoRoT satellite, the 60 cm
telescope at the Observat\'orio Pico dos Dias (LNA - Brazil) equipped with a
CCD camera and Johnson/Cousins BVRI filters, and the SOPHIE \'echelle
spectrograph at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (CNRS - France). The light
curve of V354 Mon shows periodical minima (P = 5.26 +/- 0.50 days) that vary in
depth and width at each rotational cycle. From the analysis of the photometric
and spectroscopic data, it is possible to identify correlations between the
emission line variability and the light-curve modulation of the young system,
such as the occurrence of pronounced redshifted absorption in the H_alpha line
at the epoch of minimum flux. This is evidence that during photometric minima
we see the accretion funnel projected onto the stellar photosphere in our line
of sight, implying that the hot spot coincides with the light-curve minima. We
applied models of cold and hot spots and a model of occultation by
circumstellar material to investigate the source of the observed photometric
variations. We conclude that nonuniformly distributed material in the inner
part of the circumstellar disk is the main cause of the photometric modulation,
which does not exclude the presence of hot and cold spots at the stellar
surface. It is believed that the distortion in the inner part of the disk is
created by the dynamical interaction between the stellar magnetosphere,
inclined with respect to the rotation axis, and the circumstellar disk, as also
observed in the classical T Tauri star AA Tau and predicted by
magnetohydrodynamical numerical simulations.Comment: Accepted by Astronomy and Astrophysic

Variabilidade de características físicas e químicas de frutos de germoplasmas de umbuzeiros (Spondias tuberosa).
O umbuzeiro (Spondias tuberosa Arruda Camara) é uma árvore endêmica do semi-árido brasileiro (PRADO e GIBBS, 1993). Essa anacardeaceae é adaptada ao clima e solo da região e apresenta a peculiaridade de emitir as inflorescências antes das folhas, no período seco. A emissão das flores ocorre também, normalmente antes das primeiras chuvas. O mecanismo de defesa contra a limitação de água está associado, entre outros fatores, às raízes modificadas ? os xilopódios. Os seus frutos são muito apreciados para o consumo in natura, sendo comercializados nos diversos mercados juntamente com produtos processados como polpa, doces, sucos e picolés. A espécie tem crescente importância socioeconômica para a região; fato confirmado pelo surgimento de várias pequenas agroindústrias de processamento. É explorado extrativamente, não existindo pomares comerciais em produção com plantas enxertadas e selecionadas.pdf 143
The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, in Madeira Island
The environmental conditions in Madeira Island are favorable
for the presence and dissemination of the pinewood
nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Five hundred
Pinus pinaster wood samples were collected in several
forest areas and PWN was detected in 22.8 % of the
samples. Bursaphelenchus xylophilus isolates from Madeira
Island displayed the species-specific diagnostic characters.
A morphological variation in the female tail terminus was
detected. In most females, the tail presented a broadly
rounded terminus and, occasionally, a digitate terminus with
a terminal nipple-like extension resembling a mucro. PCR
ITS-RFLP analysis revealed that Madeira Island isolates
exhibited patterns specific to the species B. xylophilus and
similar to virulent isolates. Amplified ITS regions were
further sequenced and no genetic diversity was found for
this genomic region among 17 Portuguese isolates (Madeira
Island and Continental Portugal). Phylogenetic analysis
revealed that Portuguese isolates grouped with isolates from
China, Korea and one isolate from Japa

A proposal of sensitive indicators of the rehabilitation nursing care of people in the surgical process, to be included in the ontology of aging
Given the complex surgical scenario observed today, it is necessary to change the urgent definition of a specific ontology, especially in terms of aging. The interventions of the Specialist Nurse in Rehabilitation Nursing to the person in the surgical process are primordial for the maintenance of the functional capacities, prevention of complications and impediment of incapacities. However, it is necessary to provide individualized and fostered care in a practice of excellence, and the consequent organized reading of records of an aging ontology for decision making on rehabilitation indicators. Method: a systematic review of the literature was carried out using the EBSCO host (MEDLINE with Full Text, CINAHL Plus with Full Text and MedicLatina), using the PI [C] O method, and 11 articles were selected. Results: 41 indicators were identified to be included in the ontology classes of aging: pain control, patient and family education, support and communication, reduction of postoperative complications, gain of functionality, restoration of physical function, mobility, multidisciplinary intervention and the frequency of interventions. Conclusion: it is considered that it was imperative to identify sensitive indicators for rehabilitation nursing care, based on scientific evidence and thus provide an opportunity for nurses to reflect on their daily practices and conduct their actions towards excellence in care, to propose a set of 41 classes internationally on the ontology of aging
