Uso de procedimentos não cirúrgicos para a produção, recuperação e inovulação de embriões em pequenos ruminantes.

In vivo embryo production, recovery and transfer in small ruminants by non surgical techniques. Abstract - The objective of this article was to describe non surgical techniques related to recovery and transfer of sheep and goat embryos. The main procedures for these steps in the in vivo embryo production from these animals were described sequentially and with the requested details to support their performance by veterinarian experts. Resumo - O objetivo deste artigo foi descrever técnicas não cirúrgicas associadas à recuperação e inovulação de embriões em caprinos e ovinos. Os procedimentos relativos a estas etapas da produção in vivo de embriões destes animais foram descritos de forma sequencial e detalhada, a fim de permitir sua execução por veterinários especialistas na área.Palestra apresentada no XIX Congresso Brasileiro de Reprodução Animal, Recife, PE, Brasil, maio de 2011

A genetic study on subtropical Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan var. cebil (Griseb.) Altschul tree from Northwestern Argentina

Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan var. cebil (Griseb.) Altschul is a tree species in South America important for its cultural, economic, and medicinal uses. In addition, it represents a trace in memory of the forests that have decreased over the years and for this reason it is not only interesting to study but also important to preserve the tree species for future generations. In this paper, we have characterized the genetic diversity of four populations. We collected seeds from four different sites: San Bernardo (B), El Cebilar (C), Met\ue1n (M), and El Gallinato (G) in Salta Province, North Argentina. We then compared the intergenic transcribed sequences of ribosomal DNA, a known genetic molecular marker. Our previous results, obtained through the morphological and genetic analysis of only four individuals (one for each zone), have showed that the individuals from B and M sites were more similar to each other as well as the individuals from G and C sites. In this paper, a larger number of individuals (25) were characterized and their phylogenetic relationships were computed. The results confirmed the previously found similarities

Microstructure and strength of γ-TiAl alloy/Inconel 718 brazed Joints

Intermetallics and superalloys brazing development is a current topic owing the extending use of these alloys in industrial applications. In this work a γ-TiAl alloy was joined to Inconel 718 by active metal brazing, using Incusil-ABA as filler. Joining was performed at 730 °C, 830 °C and 930 °C, with a 10 min dwelling time. The interfaces were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). For all processing conditions, the reaction between the base materials and the braze alloy produced multilayered interfaces. For all processing temperatures tested (Ag), (Cu), AlNi2Ti and AlCu2Ti were identified at the interface. Raising the brazing temperature increased the thickness of the interface and coarsened its microstructure. The increase of the extension of the interface was essentially due to the growth of the reaction layers formed near each base material, which were found to be mainly composed of intermetallic compounds. The mechanical behavior of the joints, at room temperature, was assessed by microhardness and shear tests. For all processing conditions the hardness decreases from periphery towards the Ag-rich centre of the joints. Brazing at 730 °C for 10 min produced the joints with the highest average shear strength (228±83 MPa). SEM and EDS analysis of the fracture surfaces revealed that fracture of joints always occurred across the interface, preferentially through the hard layer, essentially composed of AlNi2Ti, resulting from the reaction between Inconel 718 and the braze alloy.This work was supported by "FCT-Fundacdo para a Ciencia e Tecnologia" through the project PTDC-CTM-69646-2006
