Efeito da densidade de população nos teores de ácido ascórbico e carboidratos solúveis de couve-flor (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis)

Total soluble carbohydrates, glucose, fructose, sucrose and ascorbic acid contents were determined in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea CV. botrytis) samples. The effect of plants densities was studied in this paper. Statistically differences were not observed amoung treatments, although the samples from 20633 plants/ha showed higher level of ascorbic acid. Dry weight varied from 8.24 to 10.13% and ascorbic acid contents varied from 93.1 to 113.5 mg/100 g fresh weight basis. Soluble carbohydrates, in g/100 g fresh weight basis, were: total (3.17-4.54), sucrose (0.26-0.66), glucose (0.92-1.50) and fructose (0.91-1.45).Os teores de carboidratos solúveis, glucose, frutose, sacarose e ácido ascórbico foram determinados em amostras de couve-flor (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis), obtidas de tratamentos apresentando diversas densidades de plantais. O efeito do espaçamento não foi significativo para os dviersos constituintes analisados, embora o tratamento com 20.833 plantas/ha apresentasse maior teor de ácido ascórbico. O peso seco das amostras variou de 8,24 a 10,13% e ácido ascórbico de 93,1 a 113,5 mg/100 g de peso fresco. Os teores de carboidratos solúveis, expressos em g/100 g de peso fresco foram: totais (3,17-4,54) sacarose (0,26-0,66), glucose (0,92-1,50) e frutose (0,91-145)

Inclusive cross section and double helicity asymmetry for \pi^0 production in p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV: Implications for the polarized gluon distribution in the proton

The PHENIX experiment presents results from the RHIC 2005 run with polarized proton collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV, for inclusive \pi^0 production at mid-rapidity. Unpolarized cross section results are given for transverse momenta p_T=0.5 to 20 GeV/c, extending the range of published data to both lower and higher p_T. The cross section is described well for p_T < 1 GeV/c by an exponential in p_T, and, for p_T > 2 GeV/c, by perturbative QCD. Double helicity asymmetries A_LL are presented based on a factor of five improvement in uncertainties as compared to previously published results, due to both an improved beam polarization of 50%, and to higher integrated luminosity. These measurements are sensitive to the gluon polarization in the proton, and exclude maximal values for the gluon polarization.Comment: 375 authors, 7 pages, 3 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.

System Size and Energy Dependence of Jet-Induced Hadron Pair Correlation Shapes in Cu+Cu and Au+Au Collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 and 62.4 GeV

We present azimuthal angle correlations of intermediate transverse momentum (1-4 GeV/c) hadrons from {dijets} in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 62.4 and 200 GeV. The away-side dijet induced azimuthal correlation is broadened, non-Gaussian, and peaked away from \Delta\phi=\pi in central and semi-central collisions in all the systems. The broadening and peak location are found to depend upon the number of participants in the collision, but not on the collision energy or beam nuclei. These results are consistent with sound or shock wave models, but pose challenges to Cherenkov gluon radiation models.Comment: 464 authors from 60 institutions, 6 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables.
