GERMINATION OF SEEDS OF Chorisia glaziovii O. Kuntze SUBMITTED TO WATER STRESS AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES
Chorisia glaziovii O. Kuntze, da fam\uedlia Bombacaceae \ue9 uma
florestal nativa do Nordeste brasileiro, conhecida popularmente como
barriguda devido ao tronco bojudo, seus frutos s\ue3o deiscentes e as
sementes revestidas por uma estrutura fibrosa (l\ue3) utilizada nas
ind\ufastrias de estofados. Por isso objetivou-se avaliar o
comportamento germinativo e o vigor das sementes de Chorisia glaziovii,
submetidas ao estresse h\ueddrico em diferentes temperaturas. Os
tratamentos consistiram dos potenciais de -0,1; -0,2 e -0,3 MPa
simulados com polietileno glicol (PEG 6000), al\ue9m do n\uedvel
zero (0,0) utilizando apenas \ue1gua destilada, nas temperaturas
constantes de 20, 25 e 30\ub0C, em delineamento experimental
inteiramente ao acaso. As vari\ue1veis analisadas foram: porcentagem,
primeira contagem e \uedndice de velocidade de germina\ue7\ue3o
de sementes, al\ue9m do comprimento de ra\uedzes e altura de parte
a\ue9rea, e massa seca de ra\uedzes e parte a\ue9rea das
pl\ue2ntulas. As maiores porcentagens de germina\ue7\ue3o das
sementes de Chorisia glaziovii foram obtidas na aus\ueancia de
estresse h\ueddrico independentemente da temperatura, sendo a de
20\ub0C prejudicial \ue0 germina\ue7\ue3o das sementes, com
redu\ue7\ue3o para 20% no potencial de -0,1MPa; nas temperaturas
mais elevadas, as sementes foram mais tolerantes ao estresse
h\ueddrico, com uma porcentagem de 68% neste mesmo potencial. As
sementes de Chorisia glaziovii s\ue3o sens\uedveis ao estresse
h\ueddrico, com germina\ue7\ue3o totalmente inibida em todas as
temperaturas no potencial de -0,3 MPa.Chorisia glaziovii O. Kuntze, the Bombacaceae family is a native forest
of northeastern Brazil, popularly known as paunchy, due to bulging
trunk. Its fruits are dehiscent and its seeds covered with a fibrous
structure (wool) used in upholstery industries. Therefore, it was aimed
to evaluate the germination behavior and seed germination of Chorisia
glaziovii, subjected to water stress at different temperatures. The
treatments consisted of the potential of -0.1; -0.2 And -0.3 MPa
simulated with polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) plus zero (0,0) level
using only distilled water, at constant temperatures of 20, 25 and 30
\ub0C in a totally randomized experimental design chance. The
analyzed variables were: percentage, first count and rate of
germination rate of seeds, plus the length of roots and shoots of
height, and dry weight of roots and shoots of seedlings. The highest
percentage of germination of Chorisia glaziovii were obtained in the
absence of water stress independent of temperature, so the 20 \ub0C
detrimental to seed germination, reducing to 20% in potential -0.1MPa;
at higher temperatures the seeds were more tolerant to water stress,
with a percentageof 68% at this same potential. The seeds of Chorisia
glaziovii are sensitive to water stress, with completely inhibited
germination at all temperatures in the potential of -0.3 MPa

Modelling the diameter distribution of eucalyptus stands using the Gamma function
Neste estudo, avaliou-se o comportamento da fun??o densidade de probabilidade Gama com 2 par?metros para a descri??o da distribui??o diam?trica de um povoamento de eucalipto em diferentes idades. Um modelo de proje??o da distribui??o de di?metros foi constru?do e ajustado aos dados das parcelas permanentes. Os ajustes da fun??o Gama foram avaliados pelo teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) e o modelo de distribui??o diam?trica foi avaliado por meio dos coeficientes de determina??o e gr?ficos de res?duos das estimativas geradas pelas equa??es que compuseram o modelo. As distribui??es diam?tricas estimadas pelo sistema de equa??es foram comparadas com as distribui??es observadas pelo teste KS. A maioria dos ajustes apresentou ader?ncia pelo teste KS. O modelo foi capaz de projetar as distribui??es diam?tricas de maneira satisfat?ria, acompanhando a tend?ncia de achatamento da curva da distribui??o em uma sequ?ncia de idades. Conclui-se que a fun??o Gama pode ser utilizada em um modelo de proje??o da distribui??o dos di?metros de povoamentos de eucaliptoFunda??o de Amparo ?

A projection model of the distribution of diameters was constructed and fitted to data from permanent plots. The settings of the Gamma function were assessed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test and the diametric distribution model was assessed by the determination coefficients and residual graphs of the estimates generated by the equations that compose the model. The diameter distributions estimated by the system of equations were compared with the distributions observed by the KS test. Most of the adjustments made by the KS test presented adherence. The model was able to design the diameter distributions satisfactorily, following the trend of flattening of the curve of distribution in a sequence of ages. Thus, the Gamma function can be used with statistical efficiency in a projection model of the diameter distribution in eucalyptus stands

crossing. Six genetic groups were evaluated (G12, G13, G14, G23, G24 and G34) resulting from the pure lines
crossings, distributed in a completely randomized design with three replications. The characteristics of body
weights were evaluated at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days of age. There was no significant interaction (P?0,05)
between genetic group x sex for the performance characteristics of birds. Nevertheless, there was a significant
effect from the 14th day of age both for sex and for the genetic group. Phenotypic correlations of high and
medium magnitude are observed among all body weights
A pre formulation study of tetracaine loaded in optimized nanostructured lipid carriers
Tetracaine TTC is a local anesthetic broadly used for topical and spinal blockade, despite its systemic toxicity. Encapsulation in nanostructured lipid carriers NLC may prolong TTC delivery at the site of injection, reducing such toxicity. This work reports the development of NLC loading 4 TTC. Structural properties and encapsulation efficiency EE amp; 8201; gt; amp; 8201;63 guided the selection of three pre formulations of different lipid composition, through a 23 factorial design of experiments DOE . DLS and TEM analyses revealed average sizes 193 220 nm , polydispersity lt; amp; 8201;0.2 , zeta potential amp; 8722; amp; 8201;21.8 to amp; 8722; amp; 8201;30.1 mV and spherical shape of the nanoparticles, while FTIR ATR, NTA, DSC, XRD and SANS provided details on their structure and physicochemical stability over time. Interestingly, one optimized pre formulation CP TRANS TTC showed phase separation after 4 months, as predicted by Raman imaging that detected lack of miscibility between its solid cetyl palmitate and liquid Transcutol lipids. SANS analyses identified lamellar arrangements inside such nanoparticles, the thickness of the lamellae been decreased by TTC. As a result of this combined approach DOE and biophysical techniques two optimized pre formulations were rationally selected, both with great potential as drug delivery systems, extending the release of the anesthetic gt; amp; 8201;48 h and reducing TTC cytotoxicity against Balb c 3T3 cell
The bacterial community structure in an alkaline saline soil spiked with anthracene
Background: The application of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
will affect the bacterial community structure as some groups will be
favoured and others not. An alkaline saline soil with electrolytic
conductivity (EC) 56 dS m-1 was spiked with anthracene and acetone
while their effect on bacterial community structure was investigated.
Results: The percentages of Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria decreased
over time, while the percentage of Proteobacteria, mostly
Xanthomonadales, increased. The percentage of the phylotypes belonging
to the Nocardioides , Rhodococcus and Streptomyces , known
degraders of PAHs, was larger in the anthracene-amended soil than in
the acetone-amended and unamended soil at day 14. The phylotypes
belonging to the genera Sphingomonas , also a known degrader of PAHs,
however, was lower. Weighted and unweighted PCoA with UniFrac indicated
that phylotypes were similar in the different treatments at day 0, but
changed at day 1. After 14 days, phylotypes in the unamended and
acetone-amended soil were similar, but different from those in the
anthracene-spiked soil. Conclusions: It was found that incubating the
soil and contaminating it with anthracene changed the bacterial
community structure, but spiking the soil with acetone had little or no
effect on the bacterial community structure compared to the unamended
soil
