A chromophoric study of 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate

AbstractUltraviolet absorption spectra of 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate have been recorded in different solvents and calculated using the time dependent density functional theory. The calculations were performed with the aid of B3LYP, PBE1PBE, M06, and PBEPBE functionals and 6-31+G(2d) basis set. The geometries were initially optimized using PM5 semiempirical method for the conformational search. The calculations of excited states were carried out using the time dependent with IEF-PCM solvent reaction field method. The experimental data were obtained in the wavelength range from 200 to 400nm using 10 different solvents. The TD-PBE1PBE method shows the best agreement to the experimental results

Microencapsulation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.) pomace ethanolic extract by spray drying: optimization of process conditions

Microencapsulation by spray-drying is a process used in the stabilization of active compounds from various natural sources, such as tomato by-products, with the purpose to be used as additives in the food industry. The aim of this work was to study the effects of wall material and spray drying conditions on physicochemical properties of microcapsules loaded with lycopene rich extract from tomato pomace. The assays were carried out with ethanolic tomato pomace extract as core material and arabic gum or inulin as wall materials. A central composite rotatable design was used to evaluate the effect of drying air inlet temperature (110–200 C) and concentration of arabic gum (5–35 wt %) or inulin (5–25 wt %) on the antioxidant activity, encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, and drying yield. SEM images showed that the produced particles were in the category of skin-forming structures. The most suitable conditions, within the ranges studied, to obtain lycopene loaded microparticles were a biopolymer concentration of 10 wt % for both materials and an inlet temperature of 200 and 160 C for arabic gum and inulin, respectively. Arabic gum and inulin possessed a good performance in the encapsulation of tomato pomace extract by spray drying. It is envisaged that the capsules produced have good potential to be incorporated in foods systems with diverse chemical and physical propertiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Origin of Spin Incommensurability in Hole-doped S=1 Y2−xCaxBaNiO5\rm Y_{2-x}Ca_x Ba Ni O_5 Chains

Spin incommensurability has been recently experimentally discovered in the hole-doped Ni-oxide chain compound $\rm Y_{2-x}Ca_x Ba Ni O_5$ (G. Xu {\it al.}, Science {\bf 289}, 419 (2000)). Here a two orbital model for this material is studied using computational techniques. Spin IC is observed in a wide range of densities and couplings. The phenomenon originates in antiferromagnetic correlations ``across holes'' dynamically generated to improve hole movement, as it occurs in the one-dimensional Hubbard model and in recent studies of the two-dimensional extended t-J model. The close proximity of ferromagnetic and phase-separated states in parameter space are also discussed.Comment: RevTex, 4 pages, 4 figures (eps

Myofibroma of the oral cavity. A rare spindle cell neoplasm

Myofibroma is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm rarely found in oral cavity. Typically, this lesion is seen in neonates and infants with few cases reported in adults patients. In the oral cavity, myofibroma occurs within the submucosal or intramuscular tissue and has a predilection by the tongue, buccal mucosa and lips. Microscopically, a typical biphasic pattern can be observed. Misdiagnosis included benign and malignant spindle cell lesions of nerve tissue or smooth muscle origin, such as neurofibroma, leiomyoma and sarcomas. Thus, immunohistochemical staining is a useful tool to identify the nature of neoplastic cells and to reach an accurate diagnosis. An immunohistochemical panel consisting of antibodies to vimentin, SMA, HHF-35, S-100p and desmin must be achieved. In most cases, positivity for vimentin, SMA and HHF-25 can be observed. Our report describes a solitary myofibroma of the tongue of a 23-year-old man with emphasis in clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of this lesion

Low-Protein Diet during Lactation and Maternal Metabolism in Rats

Some metabolic alterations were evaluated in Wistar rats which received control or low-protein (17%; 6%) diets, from the pregnancy until the end of lactation: control non-lactating (CNL), lactating (CL), low-protein non-lactating (LPNL) and lactating (LPL) groups. Despite the increased food intake by LPL dams, both LP groups reduced protein intake and final body mass was lower in LPL. Higher serum glucose occurred in both LP groups. Lactation induced lower insulin and glucagon levels, but these were reduced by LP diet. Prolactin levels rose in lactating, but were impaired in LPL, followed by losses of mammary gland (MAG) mass and, a fall in serum leptin in lactating dams. Lipid content also reduced in MAG and gonadal white adipose tissue of lactating and, in LPL, contributed to a decreased daily milk production, and consequent impairment of body mass gain by LPL pups. Liver mass, lipid content and ATP-citrate enzyme activity were increased by lactation, but malic enzyme and lipid: glycogen ratio elevated only in LPL. Conclusion. LP diet reduced the development of MAG and prolactin secretion which compromised milk production and pups growth. Moreover, this diet enhanced the store of lipid to glycogen ratio and suggests a higher risk of fatty liver development

Evaluation of the productivity, content and nutrient use efficiency in genotypes of Eucalyptus spp. in Jequitinhonha valley, MG

A hibrida\ue7\ue3o de esp\ue9cies de eucalipto possibilita a obten\ue7\ue3o de h\uedbridos mais produtivos e com alta efici\ueancia de absor\ue7\ue3o e/ou utiliza\ue7\ue3o de nutrientes, dependendo das esp\ue9cies combinadas. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho, conduzido na regi\ue3o do Vale do Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais, teve por objetivos: determinar a produtividade, o conte\ufado e a efici\ueancia de utiliza\ue7\ue3o de N, P, K, Ca e Mg de h\uedbridos interespec\uedficos de Eucalyptus spp. Para tanto, mediu-se o di\ue2metro \ue0 altura do peito (DAP) de todas as \ue1rvores presentes em cada parcela, e abateram-se tr\ueas \ue1rvores com di\ue2metro correspondente ao da \ue1rvore m\ue9dia. Procedeu-se \ue0 cubagem das \ue1rvores pelo m\ue9todo de Smallian, utilizando a altura, o di\ue2metro e a espessura de casca na base e a 25, 50, 75 e 100 % da altura comercial. O peso de material fresco do lenho, da casca, das folhas e dos galhos foi determinado no campo, e desses componentes se coletaram amostras para determina\ue7\ue3o do peso da mat\ue9ria seca. As amostras do tronco consistiram de discos coletados, com casca, na base e a 25, 50, 75 e 100% da altura comercial. As amostras de tecido vegetal foram analisadas para: N, P, K, Ca e Mg. Os resultados obtidos n\ue3o indicaram diferen\ue7as significativas para a produ\ue7\ue3o de biomassa de copa entre os h\uedbridos de eucalipto em conseq\ufc\ueancia de apresentarem mesma idade. Entretanto, a produ\ue7\ue3o de biomassa de tronco apresentou diferen\ue7as significativas sendo os h\uedbridos de Eucalyptus urophylla S. T. Blake proveniente de poliniza\ue7\ue3o natural mais produtivo em 50 e 69% em compara\ue7\ue3o aos h\uedbridos de Eucalyptus urophylla W. Hill. Ex Maiden com Eucalyptus grandis Dehnh.e de Eucalyptus urophylla com descendentes do cruzamento de Eucalyptus camaldulensis com Eucalyptus grandis respectivamente. Al\ue9m disso, aqueles h\uedbridos foram os que alocaram maior quantidade de biomassa no tronco (92,3%) em rela\ue7\ue3o \ue0 copa (7,7%), e ainda foram os mais eficientes na absor\ue7\ue3o e utiliza\ue7\ue3o de N, P, K, Ca e Mg. Concluiu-se que: 1) h\uedbridos de Eucalyptus urophylla provenientes de poliniza\ue7\ue3o natural ou controlada n\ue3o apresentam diferen\ue7a na produ\ue7\ue3o de biomassa de copa quando avaliados numa mesma idade; 2) a poliniza\ue7\ue3o controlada de Eucalyptus urophylla com Eucalyptus grandis e com descendentes do cruzamento de Eucalyptus camaldulensis com Eucalyptus grandis reduz a produ\ue7\ue3o de biomassa de tronco; 3) h\uedbridos de Eucalyptus urophylla provenientes de poliniza\ue7\ue3o natural s\ue3o mais produtivos e mais eficientes na absor\ue7\ue3o e utiliza\ue7\ue3o de N, P, K, Ca e Mg e 4) h\uedbridos de Eucalyptus urophylla provenientes de descendentes do cruzamento de Eucalyptus camaldulensis com Eucalyptus grandis s\ue3o menos produtivos e menos eficientes na absor\ue7\ue3o e utiliza\ue7\ue3o de N, P, K, Ca e Mg.The hybridization of eucalyptus species can provide more productive hybrids and with a high efficiency of nutrient absorption and, or, nutrient use, depending on the combined species. In this context, the present work was undertaken in the Jequitinhonha Valley region, Minas Gerais, and its objectives were: to determine the productivity, content and use efficiency of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in interspecific hybrids of Eucalyptus spp. In each plot, the diameters were measured at breast height (DBH) in all the trees, and three trees with diameter similar to the average mean were felled. The volume of the trees was estimated by the Smallian method, using the height, diameter and the bark thickness at the base and at 25, 50, 75 and 100 % of the commercial height. The fresh weight of the wood, bark, leaves and branches was determined in the field, and samples from them were collected for the determination of dry matter. The log samples consisted of collected disks with bark, from the base and at 25, 50, 75 and 100 % of the commercial height. The samples of vegetable tissues were analyzed for: N, P, K, Ca and Mg. The results obtained did not show significant differences for the production of crown biomass between the eucalyptus hybrids of the same age. However, the production of log biomass presented significant differences and the naturally pollinated hybrids of Eucalyptus urophylla were 50.0 % and 69.0 % more productive compared with the hybrids of Eucalyptus urophylla with Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla with descendants of the crossing of Eucalyptus camaldulensis with Eucalyptus grandis, respectively. Also, these hybrids allocated larger amount of biomass in the log (92.3 %) in relation to the crown (7.7 %), and they were more efficient in the absorption and use of N, P, K, Ca and Mg. The conclusions were that: 1) same aged hybrids of Eucalyptus urophylla from natural or controlled pollinations did not differ in their crown biomass; 2) log biomass was reduced in the hybrids from controlled pollination between Eucalyptus urophylla with Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla with descendants of the crossing of Eucalyptus camaldulensis with Eucalyptus grandis; 3) hybrids of Eucalyptus urophylla from natural pollination were more productive and more efficient in the absorption and efficiency of use of N, P, K, Ca and Mg and 4) hybrids of Eucalyptus urophylla with descendants of the crossing of Eucalyptus camaldulensis with Eucalyptus grandis are less productive and less efficient in the absorption and use of N, P, K, Ca and Mg
