Electron-Hadron Correlations in pp Collisions at \sqrt{s} = 2.76 TeV with the ALICE experiment

In this work we are studying the relative beauty to charm production in pp collisions at \sqrt{s} = 2.76 TeV, through correlations between electrons from heavy-flavour decay and charged hadrons, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. This study represents a baseline for the analysis in heavy-ion collisions where heavy flavour production is a powerful tool to study the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP).Comment: Proceeding of the XII HADRON PHYSICS (2012, Bento Gon\c{c}alvez, Brazil) conference. 3 Pages, 4 Figure

Measurements of the correlation between electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays and light hadrons with ALICE at the LHC

In relativistic heavy-ion physics two-particle correlations provide a very useful tool to investigate the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). This observable is sensitive to several of the properties of the QGP such as resonances, interaction of partons with the medium and collective effects (e. g. elliptic flow). In the present work, the correlation function between electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays and light hadrons was measured in pp and Pb-Pb collisions (central and semi-central). Furthermore, in pp collisions the relative beauty contribution to the total cross section of electrons from heavy-flavour decays was estimated by comparing the measured correlation with Monte-Carlo templates.Comment: Strangeness in Quark Matter 2013 conference proceedin

Reactivity of Nellore steers in two feedlot housing systems and its relationship with plasmatic cortisol

To evaluate reactivity to assess the temperament of Nellore steers in two feedlot housing systems (group pen or individual pen) and its relationship with plasmatic cortisol, 36 experimental units were observed five times at 28-day intervals of weight management during a 112-day feedlot confinement. A reactivity score scale ranging from 1 to 5 was applied when an animal was in the chute system. To the calmest animal, a reactivity score of 1 was ascribed and to the most agitated, 5. Blood samples were collected for cortisol analysis. No differences were found in reactivity and feedlot system. There was a relationship noted between reactivity and feedlot time in both housing systems (Pb0.01). There was a relation between reactivity and cortisol levels for group animals (P=0.0616) and for individual ones (Pb0.01). Cortisol levels varied among housing systems (Pb0.01). Feedlot time influenced the cortisol levels (Pb0.09 individual; Pb0.01 group) and when variable time was included, these levels changed, decreasing in the group pen and increasing in individual pens. The continuous handling reduces reactivity and plasmatic cortisol, and group pen system seems to be less stressfully than individual pens

Aptidão agrícola das terras do Brasil: potencial de terras e análise dos principais métodos de avaliação.

O conhecimento da aptidão de terras e fator de grande importância para propiciar o uso adequado da oferta ambiental e, sobretudo, evitar possível sobreutilização dos recursos naturais. Fundamentalmente, este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de oferecer uma visão sinóptica sobre o potencial agrícola e disponibilidade das terras do Brasil, bem como apresentar uma analise critica sobre os principais métodos e sistemas de avaliação da aptidão das terras. Este documento e o resultado da consolidação dos estudos básicos para o planejamento agrícola das terras de cada Estado da Federação, realizadas pelo Ministério da Agricultura, através da Secretaria Nacional de Planejamento - SUPLAN - entre 1977 e 1980. Não obstante o nível generalizado dos dados utilizados, foram interpretados os mais atualizados levantamentos de solos realizados no pais. O estudo fornece subsidio para projetar e dimensionar a oferta potencial de terras para atender a uma demanda, também projetada, de produtos agrícolas. O método utilizado foi o "sistema de avaliação da aptidão agrícola das terras", preconizado pela EMBRAPA Solos, no qual são adotados três níveis de manejo (níveis de tecnologia), visando diagnosticar o comportamento das terras em níveis operacionais distintos.bitstream/item/36134/1/Aptidao-agricula.pd
