    The present work was carried out in order to study: a - the effect of omission and presence of the macronutrients and boron on the growth of the plants; b - deficiency symptoms of macronutrients, as well of boron; c - the effect of the deficiency of each nutrient on the chemical composition of the plants. Young spinach plants were grown in pots containing pure quartz sand. Several times a day the plants were irrigated by percolation with nutrient solutions. The treatments were: complete solution and deficient solution, in which each one of the macronutrients was omitted as well boron. Soon as the malnutrition symptoms appered, the plants were harvested and analysed chemically. - symptoms of malnutrition are easily observed for N, K, Ca and B. - symptoms of malnutrition for P, S and Mg are not easily identified. - the nutrient content, in dry matter, in deficient leaves and healthy leaves is:O trabalho teve como objetivo estudar alguns aspectos da nutrição mineral do espinafre (Tetragonia expansa Murr.) no que concerne: 1 - Efeitos da omissão dos macronutrientes e do boro, na obtenção de um quadro sintomatológico; 2 - Efeitos das carências na produção de matéria seca e composição química da planta. Mudas com trinta dias de idade foram transplantadas para soluções nutritivas carentes nos macronutrientes e/ou em boro. A coleta das plantas foi realizada quando os sintomas de deficiência se tornaram evidentes. No material seco procedeu-se a análise química. Os dados mostram que: 1 - os sintomas visuais de deficiência de N, K, Ca e B apresentam-se bem definidos; sendo que os de P, Mg e S são de difícil caracterização ; 2 - os teores dos nutrientes em plantas sadias e deficientes são

    Constraint satisfaction problems with infinite templates

    No full text
    Abstract. Allowing templates with infinite domains greatly expands the range of problems that can be formulated as a non-uniform constraint satisfaction problem. It turns out that many CSPs over infinite templates can be formulated with templates that are ω-categorical. We survey examples of such problems in temporal and spatial reasoning, infinite-dimensional algebra, acyclic colorings in graph theory, artificial intelligence, phylogenetic reconstruction in computational biology, and tree descriptions in computational linguistics. We then give an introduction to the universal-algebraic approach to infinite-domain constraint satisfaction, and discuss how cores, polymorphism clones, and pseudovarieties can be used to study the computational complexity of CSPs with ωcategorical templates. The theoretical results will be illustrated by examples from the mentioned application areas. We close with a series of open problems and promising directions of future research.
