Microbiol diversity in rhizosphere resistant and susceptible guarana collected in Maués and Manaus.

The rhizosphere is the soil region subject to influence of exudates released by plants and microorganisms (epiphytic and endophytic). In addition, this region has large variety of bacteria that can contribute to plant growth and/or inhibiting the activity of plant pathogens. The culture of guarana (Paullinia cupana var. Sorbilis (Mart.) Ducke) is threatened by the presence of the fungus Colletotrichum guaranicola Albuq. and Fusarium decencellulare Brick, causal agents of anthracnose and overbudding, respectively. In this work, the metabolic diversity of rhizospheric bacteria was studied in resistant (R) and susceptible (S) clones collected in Manaus (Mn) and Maués (Mu)

UV+IR Star Formation Rates: Hickson Compact Groups with Swift and Spitzer

We present Swift UVOT (1600-3000A) 3-band photometry for 41 galaxies in 11 nearby (<4500km/s) Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs) of galaxies. We use the uvw2-band (2000A) to estimate the dust-unobscured component, SFR_UV, of the total star-formation rate, SFR_T. We use Spitzer MIPS 24-micron photometry to estimate SFR_IR, the dust-obscured component of SFR_T. We obtain SFR_T=SFR_UV+SFR_IR. Using 2MASS K_s band based stellar mass, M*, estimates, we calculate specific SFRs, SSFR=SFR_T/M*. SSFR values show a clear and significant bimodality, with a gap between low (<~3.2x10^-11 / yr) and high SSFR (>~1.2x10^-10 / yr) systems. All galaxies with MIR activity index a_IRAC 0) are in the high- (low-) SSFR locus, as expected if high levels of star-formation power MIR emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and a hot dust continuum. All elliptical/S0 galaxies are in the low-SSFR locus, while 22 out of 24 spirals/irregulars are in the high-SSFR locus, with two borderline cases. We divide our sample into three subsamples (I, II and III) according to decreasing HI-richness of the parent galaxy group to which a galaxy belongs. Consistent with the SSFR and a_IRAC bimodality, 12 out of 15 type-I (11 out of 12 type-III) galaxies are in the high- (low-) SSFR locus, while type II galaxies span almost the full range of SSFR values. Unlike HCG galaxies, galaxies in a comparison quiescent SINGS sub-sample are continuously distributed both in SSFR and a_IRAC. Any uncertainties can only further enhance the SSFR bimodality. These results suggest that an environment characterized by high galaxy number-densities and low galaxy velocity-dispersions, such as the one found in compact groups, plays a key role in accelerating galaxy evolution by enhancing star-formation processes in galaxies and favoring a fast transition to quiescence.(abridged)Comment: Accepted by ApJ.

Non-BPS Dyons and Branes in the Dirac-Born-Infeld Theory

Non-BPS dyon solutions to D3-brane actions are constructed when one or more scalar fields describing transverse fluctuations of the brane, are considered. The picture emerging from such non-BPS configurations is analysed, in particular the response of the D-brane-string system to small perturbations.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures, Revtex fil

Barragem subterrânea: I - Diagnóstico nos estados da Bahia, Pernambuco e Paraíba.

A Embrapa Semi-Árido desenvolve um Projeto de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento que tem por finalidade estudar alternativas de manejo de solo e água em sistema de cultivos explorados em Barragem Subterrânea (BS), bem como, favorecer o processo de irradiação da BS por meio da valorização dos espaços de experimentação científica com envolvimento de pesquisadores, agricultores e ONG's. Neste contexto, visando atingir s objetivos propostos pelo Projeto, três ações de Pesquisas foram elaboradas. Ação de Pesquisa 1 - Monitoramento de BS instaladas em áreas de Produtor, através da aplicação de questionários, com o objetivo de diagnosticar as causas do sucesso ou não desta tecnologia; Ação de Pesquisa 2 - Implantação de Unidades Demonstrativas (UD's), visando implementação de ações de transferência de tecnologia através de Campos de Aprendizagem Tecnológica (CAT's); Ação de Pesquisa 3 - Manejo de solo, água e planta em BS, com o intuito de definir alguns parâmetros para avaliar o potencial da BS e medir seu impacto na propriedade, consequentemente na qualidade de vida do agricultor. Em maio de 2004 o projeto foi iniciado com a realização de um Workshop, de Gestão do Projeto, na Embrapa Semi-Árido, com a participação de toda a equipe, inclusive das Instituições Parceiras, para discutir e definir as metodologias/métodos que estão sendo utilizadas na capacitação/sensibilização dos agricultores e nos temas de pesquisa a serem estudados. Neste evento foram estabelecidas, datas de quatro oficinas, três de intercâmbio e uma de coordenação e programação, assim como a aplicação de um questionário visando diagnóstico para determinação do "marco zero". Os questionários foram aplicados num raio de cobertura maior do que o que estava previsto no Projeto. Foram aplicados 103 questionários, 53 na Paraíba, 18 na Bahia e 32 em Pernambuco, abrangendo um total de 10 municípios na PB e 08 na BA e PE. Os resultados dos questionários juntamente com os das oficinas estão norteando demandas de pesquisas de cada Estado. Os dados quantitativos obtidos com os questionários demonstraram a necessidade de uma abordagem de pesquisa-ação participativa para guiar o agricultor no aprimoramento de seus conhecimentos e de suas práticas de manejo de solo-água-planta dentro do contexto da barragem subterrânea

METHODS AIMED AT REDUCING THE RESIDUAL RISK OF PATHOGEN TRANSMISSION DURING PLATELET TRANSFUSION: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Objective: In the Brazilian public health system, sterile filtration is often used to prevent infections associated with platelet transfusion. The literature addressing this issue indicates that pathogen inactivation could be incorporated as an alternative to the development of individual tests and blood donor selection. The objective was to assess whether the use of platelets submitted to pathogen inactivation by photochemical methods could decrease the incidence of post-transfusion infections by viruses, bacteria or other pathogens compared to the use of platelet concentrate or platelets extracted by apheresis without photochemical treatment.Methods: A literature review from 1998 to 2015 was conducted. The scientific literature was surveyed using six electronic databases, two Internet search tools and a manual search of references, using specific search strategies for each database. The selected studies were assessed for quality according to a specific methodology. Data analysis was performed by observations made from the efficacy of the methods.Results: From a detailed analysis of 426 articles retrieved, 10 articles were selected for this review. Among the selected studies, seven studies were clinical trials, and three studies were systematic reviews in combination with meta-analysis. The outcomes analyzed included the reduction of the residual risk in pathogen transmission, mortality, occurrence of hemorrhagic events, corrected count increment (CCI) after 1 h, CCI after 24 h, and transfusion reactions.Conclusion: Differences were found in the quality of the included studies. Systematic reviews conducted on this topic, in alliance with political, social and administrative factors, will aid decision makers regarding its incorporation into the Brazilian Health System.Keywords: Blood Platelets, Platelet Transfusion, Platelet Transfusion/methods*, Riboflavin, Ultraviolet Rays, Photosensitizing Agents, Platelet Transfusion/adverse effect
