Soil genesis and classification in the environment mar de morros in the mid-valley of the river Paraiba do Sul, RJ

Solos tropicais são geralmente considerados altamente intemperizados, o que é atribuído às condições climáticas de altas temperaturas e precipitação pluvial. Entretanto, no ambiente de Mar de Morros, a intensidade dos processos pedogenéticos pode ser alterada pela remoção de material, em consequência do relevo movimentado, rejuvenescendo as superfícies. Este trabalho teve como objetivos caracterizar e classificar solos, formados a partir de muscovita-biotita gnaisse, em uma topossequência em Pinheiral (RJ). Os perfis localizam-se nos seguintes pontos da topossequência: (P1) topo de elevação, (P2) terço superior, (P3) terço médio, (P4) terço inferior e (P5) em área plana de várzea. Os perfis foram descritos, caracterizados e classificados segundo o Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos (SiBCS). As características edáficas que se destacaram foram: relação silte/argila; valor V %; valor T; ki; mineralogia da fração argila; e formas de Fe pedogênicas de alta cristalinidade (Fed). Ao longo da topossequência encontrou-se Cambissolo Háplico Tb distrófico típico no topo e no terço médio da topossequência. No terço superior foi identificado um Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo distrófico típico e, no terço inferior, um Argissolo Amarelo eutrófico típico. Já na área plana de várzea foi observado um Gleissolo Háplico Tb distrófico típico. O relevo e o material de origem gnáissico estratificado foram os principais fatores que alteram a pedogênese.Brazilian tropical soils are generally regarded as highly weathered, which is attributed to the climatic conditions (high temperatures and rainfall). However, in the Mar de Morros environment the intensity of pedogenic processes can be affected by the erosional removal of material, due to the hilly relief, which rejuvenates the surfaces. The objective of this study was to characterize and classify soil profiles in a toposequence developed from muscovite-biotite gneiss, located in the municipality of Pinheiral (Rio de Janeiro State). The profiles are located in different positions of a toposequence: summit (P1), shoulder (P2), backslope (P3), footslope (P4), and toeslope (P5). The profiles were described, classified and characterized according to the Brazilian System of Soil Classification (SiBCS). The differentiating soil properties were: silt/clay ratio, base saturation (V%), T value, silica/aluminium (ki) ratio, clay fraction mineralogy, and highly crystalline pedogenic iron oxides (Fed). Along the toposequence the soils were classified as Udept in the positions summit and backslope, Udult on the shoulder and Udalf on the footslope, and Aquent in the toeslope plain. The slope position and stratified gneiss parent material were the most influential factors for pedogenesis

Validation of a high-performance liquid chromatography method for determination of injectable sodium ampicillin used at public hospitals in Recife, Brasil

Um método de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência mais econômico devido ao uso de um padrão secundário de ampicilina tri-hidratada foi validado e utilizado para a quantificação de ampicilina sódica injetável em amostras coletadas em seis hospitais públicos da cidade de Recife-PE. A fase móvel foi ajustada com fosfato de potássio monobásico 1M pH 3,0, de forma que a separação dos picos ocorresse em tempo inferior a 12 minutos. As análises foram realizadas em coluna ODS Shim-pack de 250 mm x 4,6 mm, partículas de 5 μm, em fluxo de 1,5 mL/min e detecção a 254 nm. O método apresentou especificidade, linearidade, exatidão e robustez. Os lotes de ampicilina sódica injetável analisados apresentaram faixa de ampicilina sódica de 96% a 114% da concentração de análise (1,0 mg/mL), atendendo ao especificado na Farmacopéia Brasileira que estabelece um intervalo de aceitação de 90 a 115%.Colegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire

The Brazilian Soil Spectral Library (BSSL): A general view, application and challenges

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-11-15Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)The present study was developed in a joint partnership with the Brazilian pedometrics community to standardize and evaluate spectra within the 350–2500 nm range of Brazilian soils. The Brazilian Soil Spectral Library (BSSL) began in 1995, creating a protocol to gather soil samples from different locations in Brazil. The BSSL reached 39,284 soil samples from 65 contributors representing 41 institutions from all 26 states. Through the BSSL spectra database, it was possible to estimate important soil attributes, such as clay, sand, soil organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, pH and base saturation, resulting in differences among the multi-scale models taking Brazil (overall), regional and state scale. In general, spectral descriptive and quantitative behavior indicated important relationship with physical, chemical and mineralogical properties. Statistical analyses showed that six basic patterns of spectral signatures represent the Brazilian soils types and that environmental conditions explain the differences in spectra. This study demonstrates that spectroscopy analyses along with the establishment of soil spectral libraries are a powerful technique for providing information on a national and regional levels. We also developed an interactive online platform showing soil sample locations and their contributors. As soil spectroscopy is considered a fast, simple, accurate and nondestructive analytical procedure, its application may be integrated with wet analysis as an alternative to support the sustainable management of soils.Department of Soil Science Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ) University of São Paulo (USP), Ave. Pádua Dias 11, Cx.
