Estudo Comparativo Da Evapotranspiração De Referência Entre Localidades No Estado De São Paulo E Na Província De Habana

FAO proposed the reference evapotranspiration to compare evapotranspiration in different areas, because most equations employed in estimating evapotranspiration are empirical and limited to be used in local and climates similar to those in which they were determined. The objective of this study was to analyze the difference in calculated values of ETo for Botucatu and Piracicaba (Brazil) and Güira Melena (Cuba), based on 30-year data. Seasonal differences between years and locations were assessed and subsequently the influence of local climates on these ETo values differences. Climatic elements maximum (Tmax) and minimum temperature (Tmin), relative humidity (RH), wind speed at 2 m height (U2) and solar radiation (n) were obtained from conventional meteorological stations. Evapotranspiration values in Cuba were higher during summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest evapotranspiration values in Botucatu and Piracicaba occurred in summer months in the Southern Hemisphere. Correlation exists between the three locations with the same distance between them. It was concluded from the methodology used that the three localities have different evapotranspiration values and despite being in different hemispheres the evapotranspiration among Piracicaba and Güira Melena are closer than the one verified between Botucatu and Piracicaba. © 2016, Universidade Estadual Paulista - UNESP.

Global well-posedness for a coupled modified kdv system

We prove the sharp global well-posedness result for the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the system of the modi ed Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation. For the single mKdV equation such result has been obtained by using Mirura's Transform that takes the KdV equation to the mKdV equation [8]. We do not know the existence of Miura's Transform that takes a KdV system to the system we are considering. To overcome this di culty we developed a new proof of the sharp global well-posedness result for the single mKdV equation without using Miura's Transform. We could successfully apply this technique in the case of the mKdV system to obtain the desired result.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT

Upregulation of microRNA 142-3p in the peripheral blood and urinary cells of kidney transplant recipients with post-transplant graft dysfunction

We analyzed microRNA (miR)-142-3p expression in leucocytes of the peripheral blood and urinary sediment cell samples obtained from kidney transplant recipients who developed graft dysfunction. Forty-one kidney transplant recipients with kidney graft dysfunction and 8 stable patients were included in the study. The groups were divided according to histological analysis into acute rejection group (n=23), acute tubular necrosis group (n=18) and stable patients group used as a control for gene expression (n=8). Percutaneous biopsies were performed and peripheral blood samples and urine samples were obtained. miR-142-3p was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The group of patients with acute tubular necrosis presented significantly higher expressions in peripheral blood (P<0.05) and urine (P<0.001) compared to the stable patients group. Also, in the peripheral blood, miR-142-3p expression was significantly higher in the acute tubular necrosis group compared to the acute rejection group (P<0.05). Urine samples of the acute rejection group presented higher expression compared to the stable patients group (P<0.001) but the difference between acute tubular necrosis and acute rejection groups was not significant in the urinary analyzes (P=0.079). miR-142-3p expression has a distinct pattern of expression in the setting of post-operative acute tubular necrosis after kidney transplantation and may potentially be used as a non-invasive biomarker for renal graft dysfunction
