The present was work carried out in order to study: a. the effect of the omission and presence of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B and Fe on the growth of Eucalyptus urophylla. b. deficiency symptoms; c. the effect of the deficiencies on the dry matter production and on the chemical composition. Seedlings of Eucalyptus urophylla were grown in pots containing nutritive solution (HOAGLAND & ARNON, 1950, modificated by SARRUGE, 1970). Clear cut deficiencies symptoms of N, P, K, Mg, B, Fe were observed. The morphological deficiencies symptoms of phosphorus and calcium observed in the leaves were not in complete agreement with the symptoms reported in the literature. The leaves presented the following mineral contents (% and ppm expresse in dry matter weight):Mudas de Eucalyptus urophylla foram cultivadas em soluções nutritivas carentes nos macronutrientes e em boro e ferro, com a finalidade de se obter o quadro sintomatologico das carências de N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B e Fe; aquilatar o efeito da omissão e presença dos nutrientes sobre o crescimento e composição química das folhas superiores, medianas e inferiores; assim como do caule e das raízes. Os autores obtiveram em quadro sintomatologico da omissão destes nutrientes, aliados aos seguintes níveis de carência, expresso em função da materia seca: N - 0,69%; P - 0,04%; K - 0,14%; Ca - 0,04%; Mg - 0,05%; S < 0,05%; B - 8,0 ppm; Fe - 50 ppm. A omissão dos elementos da solução nutritiva teve efeito depressivo no crescimento do Eucalyptus, com exceção do tratamento - S que não deferiu do tratamento completo

Ciclagem de nutrientes em florestas implantadas de Eucalyptus e Pinus I. distribuição no solo e na manta

From a grove of E. citriodora (20 years) and P. taeda (24 years) site on a red-yellow podzolic (ultisol), at Piracicaba (22° 43' S, 47° 38' W, elev. 1933 ft., av. annual precipt 1,170 mm), SP, Brazil, leaves, litter fall an soil samples (0 - 10 and 10 - 20 cm depth) were collected. Chemical analysis were run for macro and micronutrients, except for Cl and Mo, by conventional modes. The authors concluded: 1. The E. citriodora was better supplied in nutrients than P. taeda, except for iron; 2. Both forest species hence the organic carbon content in the soil; 3. E. citriodora improved the potassium and magnesium contents in the soil. 4. P. taeda improved the available aluminium of the soil; 5. Both forest species henced the potassium content the litter fall; 6. The fall was improved in iron by P. taeda.Em dois povoamentos Pinus taeda e Eucalyptus citriodora de 20 e 24 anos de idade respectivamente situados em um solo podzólico vermelho amarelo variação Laras no Município de Piracicaba, SP (22°43' lat.

Electrochemical behavior of Ti/Al2O3 interfaces produced by diffusion bonding

In the field of biomedical applications a special interest exists regarding the study of the physicochemical and mechanical behaviour of materials, with special focus on the electrochemical degradation of metal/ceramic interfaces. In fact, etal/ceramic interfaces may be present in several biomedical devices, ranging from external or implantable sensors, to dental implants. Diffusion bonding represents an important technique since, in opposition to other production technologies, such as active metal brazing, avoid the possible liberation of certain chemical components harmful to health. The aim of this work is to study the electrochemical degradation of the interface formed between commercially pure Ti and Al2O3 produced by diffusion bonding, in contact with a physiological solution. The present approach included the evaluation of the contribution of individual and pairs of interfacial layers on the global degradation processes. For this propose d.c. electrochemical techniques were used to monitor the open-circuit potential, and to perform potentiodynamic polarization and galvanic corrosion evaluation. Also, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used as a complementary technique of the corrosion behaviour of the interface. Chemical composition and morphology of samples and corrosion products were evaluated by SEM and EDS analysis. According to experimental results, two principal reaction layers were formed in the interface: TiAl and Ti3Al. The TiAl layer appears to be the responsible for the strong increase in corrosion rate of the interface.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia -POCTI/CTM/33384/2000; SFRH/BPD/ 5518/2001

The Two-Nucleon Potential from Chiral Lagrangians

Chiral symmetry is consistently implemented in the two-nucleon problem at low-energy through the general effective chiral lagrangian. The potential is obtained up to a certain order in chiral perturbation theory both in momentum and coordinate space. Results of a fit to scattering phase shifts and bound state data are presented, where satisfactory agreement is found for laboratory energies up to about 100 Mev.Comment: Postscript file; figures available by reques

Dimensional Dependence of Black Hole Formation in Self-Similar Collapse of Scalar Field

We study classical and quantum self-similar collapses of a massless scalar field in higher dimensions, and examine how the increase in the number of dimensions affects gravitational collapse and black hole formation. Higher dimensions seem to favor formation of black hole rather than other final states, in that the initial data space for black hole formation enlarges as dimension increases. On the other hand, the quantum gravity effect on the collapse lessens as dimension increases. We also discuss the gravitational collapse in a brane world with large but compact extra dimensions.Comment: Improved a few arguments and added a figur

An overview of anti-diabetic plants used in Gabon: Pharmacology and Toxicology

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.Ethnopharmacological relevance: The management of diabetes mellitus management in African communities, especially in Gabon, is not well established as more than 60% of population rely on traditional treatments as primary healthcare. The aim of this review was to collect and present the scientific evidence for the use of medicinal plants that are in currect by Gabonese traditional healers to manage diabetes or hyperglycaemia based here on the pharmacological and toxicological profiles of plants with anti-diabetic activity. There are presented in order to promote their therapeutic value, ensure a safer use by population and provide some bases for further study on high potential plants reviewed. Materials and methods: Ethnobotanical studies were sourced using databases such as Online Wiley library, Pubmed, Google Scholar, PROTA, books and unpublished data including Ph.D. and Master thesis, African and Asian journals. Keywords including ‘Diabetes’ ‘Gabon’ ‘Toxicity’ ‘Constituents’ ‘hyperglycaemia’ were used. Results: A total of 69 plants currently used in Gabon with potential anti-diabetic activity have been identified in the literature, all of which have been used in in vivo or in vitro studies. Most of the plants have been studied in human or animal models for their ability to reduce blood glucose, stimulate insulin secretion or inhibit carbohydrates enzymes. Active substances have been identified in 12 out of 69 plants outlined in this review, these include Allium cepa and Tabernanthe iboga. Only eight plants have their active substances tested for anti-diabetic activity and are suitables for further investigation. Toxicological data is scarce and is dose-related to the functional parameters of major organs such as kidney and liver. Conclusion: An in-depth understanding on the pharmacology and toxicology of Gabonese anti-diabetic plants is lacking yet there is a great scope for new treatments. With further research, the use of Gabonese anti-diabetic plants is important to ensure the safety of the diabetic patients in Gabon.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio
