Zinc abundances in Galactic bulge field red giants: implications for DLA systems
Zinc in stars is an important reference element because it is a proxy to Fe
in studies of damped Lyman-alpha systems, permitting a comparison of chemical
evolution histories of bulge stellar populations and DLAs. In terms of
nucleosynthesis, it behaves as an alpha element because it is enhanced in
metal-poor stars. The aim of this work is to derive the iron-peak element Zn
abundances in 56 bulge giants from high resolution spectra. These results are
compared with data from other bulge samples, as well as from disk and halo
stars, and damped Lyman-alpha systems, in order to better understand the
chemical evolution in these environments. High-resolution spectra were obtained
using FLAMES+UVES on the Very Large Telescope. We find [Zn/Fe]=+0.24+-0.02 in
the range -1.3 < [Fe/H] < -0.5 and [Zn/Fe]=+0.06+-0.02 in the range -0.5 <
[Fe/H] -0.1, it shows a spread of -0.60 < [Zn/Fe]
< +0.15, with most of these stars having low [Zn/Fe]<0.0. These low zinc
abundances at the high metallicity end of the bulge define a decreasing trend
in [Zn/Fe] with increasing metallicities. A comparison with Zn abundances in
DLA systems is presented, where a dust-depletion correction was applied for
both Zn and Fe. Finally, we present a chemical evolution model of Zn enrichment
in massive spheroids, representing a typical classical bulge.Comment: Accepted in Astronomy & Astrophysics, in press Date of acceptance:

Integrated production of grapes for juice in southern Brazil.
New concepts of agricultural production should be introduced in Brazilian agriculture to become competitive. The integrated system is an agricultural technology that should be also applied to grape production. The purpose of this work was to evaluate two systems of agriculture production. Two plots (Plot IP), Vitis labrusca grapes and Hybrid, were chosen in fields conducted within the integrated production system (IPS) for juice production. All practices adopted in the plots were documented in a field book to ensure the traceability. The results were compared with Conventional System (CS) production of the same cultivars situated in two neighboring areas. The IPS plots provided a decrease in the amount of fungicides by 36.46% (fungicide g/ha). In Conventional System, 3,000 ml herbicide/ha were used. In IPS, herbicide was not applied due to the maintenance of the ground cover. Grapes produced in this system resulted in a yield 32.08% higher than in CS. There was no insecticide application in any of the two systems. The IPS provided a reduction in pesticide application without affecting yields and the biological assays revealed no presence of metabolism inhibitors. With the IPS, it is possible to product high-quality grapes that are safe for both consumers and farmersTrabalho apresentado nos Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Integrated Fruit Production held in Kusadasi (Turkey), October 7-12, 2012
