Influência da artrite encefalite caprina na resposta superovulatória.
Resumo: Objetivando avaliar a resposta superovulatoria e a qualidade embrionaria pos-colheita em animais soropositivos para o virus da CAEV, foram utilizadas 18 cabras adultas da raca Saanen, sendo 12 soropositivas(G1) e seis soronegativas(G2). Nao se observou diferencas significativas(P>0,05) entre o G1 e G2 quanto a resposta do estro, 100,0% vs. 83,0%; ao inicio do estro(hora) em relacao ao momento da retirada das esponjas, 35,0+/-9,5 vs. 31,2+/-10,7; a duracao do estro(hora), 27,0+/-5,4 vs. 28,8+/-10,7; a taxa de ovulacao, 10,8+/-5,7 vs. 10,8+/-8,6; e a porcentagem de estruturas recuperadas, 72,0 vs. 67,0 e de embrioes viaveis 99,0 vs. 99,0 vs. 95,0, respectivamente. Considerando que a transferencia de embrioes e uma tecnica segura para o controle da CAEV e diante da resposta satisfatoria dos animais soropositivos, em especial, quanto as porcentagens de embrioes recuperados e viaveis, conclui-se que animais geneticamente superiores mesmo que soropositivos para a CAEV podem ser usados como doadores de embrioes. [The influence of caprine arthritis encephalitis on superovulatory response]. Abstract: The objectives of this work were to determine the ovulation rate and the embryo viability in seropositive animals to Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Virus infection (CAEV). Eighteen goats of the Saanen breed were used, 12 CAEV-seropositives (G1) and six CAEV-seronegatives (G2). No statistical difference (P>0.05) was observed between groups (G1 and G2) in relation to estrus response, 100.0% vs. 83.0%; onset estrus (hours), 35.0+9,5 vs. 31.2+10.7; estrus duration (hours), 27.0+5.4 vs. 28.8+10.7; ovulation rate, 10.8+5.7 vs. 10.8+8.6; recovery rate of embryos, 72.0% vs. 67.0%; and viable embryos, 99.0% vs. 95.0%, respectively. Considering the embryo transfer is a safe technique for the control of CAEV and due to the fact that the seropositive female show a satisfatory response for embryo recovery rate and viability, we conclude that the CAEV-seropositive animals may be used as embryo donors

Single observable concurrence measurement without simultaneous copies
We present a protocol that allows us to obtain the concurrence of any two
qubit pure state by performing a minimal and optimal tomography of one of the
subsystems through measuring a single observable of an ancillary four
dimensional qudit. An implementation for a system of trapped ions is also
proposed, which can be achieved with present day experimental techniques.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Experimental Observation of Environment-induced Sudden Death of Entanglement
We demonstrate the difference between local, single-particle dynamics and
global dynamics of entangled quantum systems coupled to independent
environments. Using an all-optical experimental setup, we show that, while the
environment-induced decay of each system is asymptotic, quantum entanglement
may suddenly disappear. This "sudden death" constitutes yet another distinct
and counter-intuitive trait of entanglement.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Diferentes posologias de flunixin meglumine na prevenção da regressão prematura de corpos lúteos em cabras superovuladas.
Resumo: O presente trabalho objetivou testar a eficiência na redução da freqüência de aplicações do flunixin meglumine a partir de duas dosagens, em relação à taxa de corpos lúteos regredidos prematuramente. Utilizou-se 18 fêmeas de raças caprinas leiteiras, Saanen e Anglo-nubiana, as quais foram submetidas à sincronização do estro com esponjas intravaginais e cloprostenol, e à superovulação com FSH suÃno. Três dias após a retirada das esponjas os animais foram submetidos a três tratamentos (T1; T2 e T3) com as seguintes dosagens de flunixin meglumine por kg de peso corpóreo (PC) e por aplicação: 1,1mg; 1,1mg e 2,2 mg, respectivamente, sendo realizadas em T1 oito aplicações intervaladas por 12 horas e em T2 e T3 quatro aplicações intervaladas por 24 h. Observou-se diferença significativa (P<0,05) na percentagem de corpos lúteos regredidos para os tratamentos com uma única aplicação diária (T2 - 14,29 e T3 - 22,58) em relação ao tratameto com duas aplicações diárias (T1- 0,00), o que leva a supor que a duração do efeito do flunixin meglumine, em cabras, seja inferior a 24 horas, tornando o regime de aplicação, com esse intervalo de frequência, ineficiente em inibir totalmente a regressão prematura de corpos lúteos. No entando, a média de embriões colhidos e a viabilidade deles não variaram entre os tratamentos. Em adição, a percentagem de estruturas colhidas foi superior no tratamento que utilizou 1,1 mg.kg-1 por PC em uma aplicação (T1 - 80,36) em relação a duas aplicações diárias (T1 - 54,88). Desta forma, buscando-se a praticidade e a redução na concentração da droga utilizada por cabra, pode-se indicar para o tratamento anti-luteolÃtico a dosagem de 1,1 mg.kg-1 por PC, administrada uma vez ao dia. [Different flunixin meglumine administrations to control of the corpus luteum premature regression in superovulated goats]. Abstract: The present study has tested the efficiency of the reduction of frequency of applications of flunixin meglumine from a two doses use, in relation to the rate of premature corpus luteum regression. the oestrus cycles of 18 does of Saanen and Nubian breeds were synchronized with intravaginal pessaries and cloprostenol, and superovulated with porcine FSH. Three days after withdrawal of sponges three treatments were begun (T1;T2 e T3) with 1.1mg, 1.1mg and 2.2 mg.kg-1 of flunixin meglumine administered, respectively. The does of T1 received eight applications, with 12 h of interval and T2 e T3, four applications with an interval of 24 hours. Significant difference (P<0.05) was observed on the percentage of regressed corpus lutea between the treatment that used only one application daily (T2 - 14.29 and T3 - 22.58), and that which used twice aplications daily (T1 - 0.00). This finding suggests that the duration of the flunixin effect in goats is shorter than 24 hours, making the application regime with this interval of frequency inefficient to completely inhibit the premature regression of the corpus luteum. However, the rate of recovered and embryos viability did not change between treatments. In addition, the percentage of recovered structures was higher in the treatment that used 1.1 mg.kg-1 on one administration daily (T2 - 80.36) than that used two daily administration (T1 - 54.88). Thus our study suggests that in espect of convenient treatment and reduction of the dose used in goats, the dosage of 1.1 mg.kg-1 once daily is indicated

Entropic Entanglement Criteria for Continuous Variables
We derive several entanglement criteria for bipartite continuous variable
quantum systems based on the Shannon entropy. These criteria are more sensitive
than those involving only second-order moments, and are equivalent to
well-known variance product tests in the case of Gaussian states. Furthermore,
they involve only a pair of quadrature measurements, and will thus should prove
extremely useful the experimental identification of entanglement.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

Hypothalamic Deep Brain Stimulation Reduces Weight Gain in an Obesity-Animal Model
Prior studies of appetite regulatory networks, primarily in rodents, have established that targeted electrical stimulation of ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) can alter food intake patterns and metabolic homeostasis. Consideration of this method for weight modulation in humans with severe overeating disorders and morbid obesity can be further advanced by modeling procedures and assessing endpoints that can provide preclinical data on efficacy and safety. In this study we adapted human deep brain stimulation (DBS) stereotactic methods and instrumentation to demonstrate in a large animal model the modulation of weight gain with VMH-DBS. Female Göttingen minipigs were used because of their dietary habits, physiologic characteristics, and brain structures that resemble those of primates. Further, these animals become obese on extra-feeding regimens. DBS electrodes were first bilaterally implanted into the VMH of the animals (n = 8) which were then maintained on a restricted food regimen for 1 mo following the surgery. The daily amount of food was then doubled for the next 2 mo in all animals to produce obesity associated with extra calorie intake, with half of the animals (n = 4) concurrently receiving continuous low frequency (50 Hz) VMH-DBS. Adverse motoric or behavioral effects were not observed subsequent to the surgical procedure or during the DBS period. Throughout this 2 mo DBS period, all animals consumed the doubled amount of daily food. However, the animals that had received VMH-DBS showed a cumulative weight gain (6.1±0.4 kg; mean ± SEM) that was lower than the nonstimulated VMH-DBS animals (9.4±1.3 kg; p<0.05), suggestive of a DBS-associated increase in metabolic rate. These results in a porcine obesity model demonstrate the efficacy and behavioral safety of a low frequency VMH-DBS application as a potential clinical strategy for modulation of body weight
