Flutuação populacional de Grapholita molesta Busck (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) em pomares de macieira no Brasil.

A mariposa oriental, Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), é considerada como praga de fruteiras de caroço, no Brasil ela adquiriu uma posição de praga primária também na macieira, causando danos expressivos.CLAUDIO DE ANDRADE BARROS, CNPUV, 297428

Uso de reguladores de crescimento em mudas de pessegueiro.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a efetividade na redução do desenvolvimento dos ramos em mudas de pessegueiro da cultivar Eragil

Influência de águas destinadas a fruticultura no pH e condutividade elétrica de caldas de aplicação com uso de Viviful®.

RESUMO- A eficiência de tratamentos nos pomares depende das características físico-químicas das caldas de pulverização. Como garantia de uma calda eficiente é necessária à utilização de água de qualidade. Desse modo, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo determinar o pH, a condutividade elétrica e as temperaturas de águas provenientes de pontos de abastecimentos de pomares, usadas para manejos em geral localizados nos Campos de Cima da Serra, no Rio Grande do Sul. Foram coletadas 10 amostras de águas de diferentes pomares comerciais localizados nos Campos de Cima da Serra, cada amostra era provinda de pontos de abastecimentos dos pomares, os quais eram destinados a manejos em geral. Nas amostras coletadas foram realizadas avaliações de pH e condutividade elétrica (µS/cm) em três tempos diferentes (0 minutos, 30 minutos e 60 minutos). As águas dos pontos de abastecimentos de pomares apresentaram maior número de amostras com pH superior a 7,0. A adição de Viviful® nas diferentes águas aumentou a quantidade de íons na solução, elevando a condutividade elétrica (CE). O pH e a condutividade elétrica de águas coletadas em pontos de abastecimento de pomares localizados nos Campos de Cima da Serra, RS são alterados com o uso de regulador de crescimento (Viviful® ) e o uso de águas alcalinas pode influenciar a eficácia de diversos tratamentos. Palavras-chave: tecnologia de aplicação; pontos de abastecimentos, pH folia

Slab rollback and microcontinent subduction in the evolution of the Zambales Ophiolite Complex (Philippines) : A review

New radiolarian ages show that the island arc-related Acoje block of the Zambales Ophiolite Complex is possibly of Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous age. Radiometric dating of its plutonic and volcanic-hypabyssal rocks yielded middle Eocene ages. On the other hand, the paleontological dating of the sedimentary carapace of the transitional mid-ocean ridge – island arc affiliated Coto block of the ophiolite complex, together with isotopic age datings of its dikes and mafic cumulate rocks, also yielded Eocene ages. This offers the possibility that the Zambales Ophiolite Complex could have: (1) evolved from a Mesozoic arc (Acoje block) that split to form a Cenozoic back-arc basin (Coto block), (2) through faulting, structurally juxtaposed a Mesozoic oceanic crust with a younger Cenozoic lithospheric fragment or (3) through the interplay of slab rollback, slab break-off and, at a later time, collision with a microcontinent fragment, caused the formation of an island arc-related ophiolite block (Acoje) that migrated trench-ward resulting into the generation of a back-arc basin (Coto block) with a limited subduction signature. This Meso-Cenozoic ophiolite complex is compared with the other oceanic lithosphere fragments along the western seaboard of the Philippines in the context of their evolution in terms of their recognized environments of generation

Neurologic Involvement in Children and Adolescents Hospitalized in the United States for COVID-19 or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome

These permissions are granted for the duration of the World Health Organization (WHO) declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic.Importance Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects the nervous system in adult patients. The spectrum of neurologic involvement in children and adolescents is unclear. Objective To understand the range and severity of neurologic involvement among children and adolescents associated with COVID-19. Setting, Design, and Participants Case series of patients (age <21 years) hospitalized between March 15, 2020, and December 15, 2020, with positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 test result (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and/or antibody) at 61 US hospitals in the Overcoming COVID-19 public health registry, including 616 (36%) meeting criteria for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children. Patients with neurologic involvement had acute neurologic signs, symptoms, or diseases on presentation or during hospitalization. Life-threatening involvement was adjudicated by experts based on clinical and/or neuroradiologic features. Exposures Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Main Outcomes and Measures Type and severity of neurologic involvement, laboratory and imaging data, and outcomes (death or survival with new neurologic deficits) at hospital discharge. Results Of 1695 patients (909 [54%] male; median [interquartile range] age, 9.1 [2.4-15.3] years), 365 (22%) from 52 sites had documented neurologic involvement. Patients with neurologic involvement were more likely to have underlying neurologic disorders (81 of 365 [22%]) compared with those without (113 of 1330 [8%]), but a similar number were previously healthy (195 [53%] vs 723 [54%]) and met criteria for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (126 [35%] vs 490 [37%]). Among those with neurologic involvement, 322 (88%) had transient symptoms and survived, and 43 (12%) developed life-threatening conditions clinically adjudicated to be associated with COVID-19, including severe encephalopathy (n = 15; 5 with splenial lesions), stroke (n = 12), central nervous system infection/demyelination (n = 8), Guillain-Barré syndrome/variants (n = 4), and acute fulminant cerebral edema (n = 4). Compared with those without life-threatening conditions (n = 322), those with life-threatening neurologic conditions had higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (median, 12.2 vs 4.4) and higher reported frequency of D-dimer greater than 3 μg/mL fibrinogen equivalent units (21 [49%] vs 72 [22%]). Of 43 patients who developed COVID-19–related life-threatening neurologic involvement, 17 survivors (40%) had new neurologic deficits at hospital discharge, and 11 patients (26%) died. Conclusions and Relevance In this study, many children and adolescents hospitalized for COVID-19 or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children had neurologic involvement, mostly transient symptoms. A range of life-threatening and fatal neurologic conditions associated with COVID-19 infrequently occurred. Effects on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes are unknown
