Determinação da relação solo planta em pomar de citros com diferentes combinações copa/porta-enxerto.
A importância socioeconômica da citricultura no Nordeste brasileiro é incontestável. No entanto, problemas como a distribuição irregular de chuva na região onde se localizam os pomares - concentrada em seis a oito meses do ano - interferem de forma direta no crescimento e desenvolvimento das plantas. Em função disso, a busca de genótipos tolerantes a deficiência hídrica é crucial para a permanência da citricultura nesse território
Estabelecimento de normas DRIS para o cupuaçueiro na região amazônica.
A avaliação do estado nutricional de um pomar ou lavoura depende da definição de valores de referência que sejam adequados para refletir as condições de crescimento das plantas. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar normas DRIS para cupuaçueiro cultivado na Amazônia, testando em populações com diferentes idades. Amostras foliares de cupuaçu foram coletadas de pomares comerciais, cuja idade das plantas variou de 5 a 18 anos, cultivadas sob monocultivo ou sistemas agroflorestais (SAF's), obtendo-se para cada relação nutricional entre os nutrientes N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, Mn e Cu as normas DRIS, as quais foram obtidas para o conjunto da população monitorada e para subpopulações específicas. Os diferentes grupos de normas não diferem entre si, possibilitando a obtenção de normas DRIS que possam representar um grande número de condições de produção
Análise de experimento fatorial desbalanceado nos ambientes SAS e R.
O trabalho apresenta e discuti um exemplo de análise de dados desbalanceados oriundos de um experimento para avaliar o efeito combinado das concentrações de CO2 e de cobre sobre parâmetros bioquímicos e defesas antioxidantes do peixe pacu, Piaractus mesopotamicus, que é uma das principais espécies cultivadas no Brasil

Basketball game-related statistics that discriminate between teams season-long success
The aim of the present study was to identify the game-related statistics that discriminate between season-long successful and unsuccessful basketball teams participating in the Spanish Basketball League (LEB1). The sample included all 145 average records per season from the 870 games played between the 2000-2001 and the 2005-2006 regular seasons. The following game-related statistics were gathered from the official box scores of the Spanish Basketball Federation: 2- and 3-point field-goal attempts (both successful and unsuccessful), free-throws (both successful and unsuccessful), defensive and offensive rebounds, assists, steals, turnovers, blocks (both made and received), and fouls (both committed and received). To control for season variability, all results were normalized to minutes played each season and then converted to z-scores. The results allowed discrimination between best and worst teams' performances through the following game-related statistics: assists (SC=0.47), steals (SC=0.34), and blocks (SC=0.30). The function obtained correctly classified 82.4% of the cases. In conclusion, season-long performance may be supported by players' and teams' passing skills and defensive preparation
To , or not to : Recent developments and comparisons of regularization schemes
We give an introduction to several regularization schemes that deal with
ultraviolet and infrared singularities appearing in higher-order computations
in quantum field theories. Comparing the computation of simple quantities in
the various schemes, we point out similarities and differences between them.Comment: 61 pages, 12 figures; version sent to EPJC, references update
A self-clinching fastener for hidden lap joints
This paper presents a new self-clinching fastener to connect two sheets (or plates), made from similar or
dissimilar materials, placed over one another by means of a mechanical form-closed joint that is hidden
inside the sheets. The development of the fastener, the definition of its main design variables and the
identification of its workability limits are carried out by means of a combined experimental and numerical
simulation work based on finite elements. It is shown that self-clinching by pressing the two overlapped
sheets against each other to displace material around the annular groove of the fastener shank and create
undercuts in both sheets requires an appropriate choice of the design variables. Wrong values of the design
variables resulting in lack or excess of material displaced by plastic flow gives rise to inappropriate lap joints
that cannot be used in production. The new proposed fastener allows, for the first time ever, joining by
forming with the use of auxiliary elements that are harder than the sheet materials to fabricate invisible
joints with no material protrusions in applications requiring minimum installation spaceinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
