A interação humana sempre esteve baseada na capacidade de produzir comunicação por meio de signos. Os signos, por sua vez, constituem os diversos textos de cultura, sejam de forma verbal, visual, verbo visual ou audiovisual. O objetivo deste trabalho foi demonstrar que todos esses são resultado da relação direta entre homem e meio ambiente terrestre, a partir de um ponto de vista fenomenológico e semiótico, o que leva à produção de cultura e seus textos. Especificamente sobre a imagem como processo semiótico, entende-se que esta refere-se não somente a imagens visuais produzidas e permitidas p

In the case of Cultural Heritage buildings, the need for an effective, exhaustive, efficient method to replicate its state of being in an interactive, three-dimensional environment is today, of paramount importance, both from an engineering as well as a historical point of view. Modern geomatics entails the usage of Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) and photogrammetric modelling from Structure-from-Motion (SfM) techniques to initiate this modelling operation. To realize its eventual existence, the novel Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) technique is implemented. A prototype library

Abstract:

The experiments in this thesis manipulated the breeding system of wheat and triticale first toward outcrossing with male sterility systems, and then toward homozygosity with anther culture systems. To provide a visible marker that could be used to distinguish male-sterile plants from male-fertile plants, 'chromosome engineering' was attempted via two distinct crossing procedures to generate two translocation chromosomes, 5AL.5AS-5RS and 4EL-5AS. These would then be recombined (via an intercrossing procedure) into another translocation chromosome 4EL.5AS—5RS which would link the blue aleuron

Abstract:

Folate malnutrition is a major problem in many countries around the world especially in Asia and Africa. Stable foods such as rice contain very low amounts of folate. White rice which is the most popular form for human consumption contains less than 80 µg folate per 100 g. Given that it forms a major part of the South East Asian diet, rice represents an important target for enhancing folate levels. The objectives of this thesis is study the mechanisms that regulate total folate levels in rice grains and attempt to enhance and stabilise folate in rice endosperm. Three main strategies were adopt

In two pot experiments using two different crop ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and two flax (Linum usitatissimum) varieties Viola and Elise, ryegrass decreased in the pool of heavy metals compared with bare soil using EDTA as extractant. NH4+ decreased the soil pH, increased EDTA-extractable Zn and increased the Zn uptake. Lime addition increased the pH and depressed Zn uptake. The pool of extractable EDTA was not changed by growing both of the flax varieties. Lime increased EDTA-extractable Cu and Pb significantly, but decreased the Zn, and pH increased in this order NH4+<NO3-<NH4++lime<NO3-+lime.

Abstract:

Many of the wild and some cultivated species of potato are true diploids and are therefore more amenable for genetic studies than the majority of tetraploid cultivars. However, the use of these diploid Solanum species is complicated by almost universal self-incompatibility (SI). In Solanum, SI is gametophytic and pistil specificity is controlled by a polymorphic ribonuclease (S-RNase), as found in other members of the Solanaceae. The genetic engineering of self-compatible (SC) diploid potato lines would benefit potato breeding in general and allow inbred lines to be established for the first t

However, the field is currently held back by the limitations of the available methods to apply physiologically relevant stress profiles on cells, particularly w

Abstract:

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, is a pest of rice in tropical regions. Its direct feeding results in loss in yield and plant death ("hopper bum"). Several compounds that stimulate insect attraction have been detected in rice plants colonised by N. lugens, including 1,2-dimethoxybenzene or veratrole. Electro-physiological studies and highresolution gas chromatography have identified veratrole as an attractant of N. lugens. Veratrole is a product of salicylic acid, a derivative of the phenyl propanoid pathway. Salicylic acid is decarboxylated to catechol, a step which is encoded by sa

The liquid content is usually an aqueous solution, whereas the coating consists of various types of fine hydrophobic powder. The porous powder coating traps air and physically isolates the

A simple and non-specific labelling technique was developed. Cell membrane proteins were first biotinylated and then bound to streptavidin paramagnetic particles. The results of characterisation studies showed that the degree of cell labelling could be precisely controlled by varying the amounts of added paramagnetic particles and the labelling is effective, quick and independent of cell uptake. The cell surface bound particles were subsequently internalised and studies showed that this labelling method did not have any drastic effect on cell viability.

During the last decade, ultrasonic manipulation has matured into an important tool with a wide range of applications, from fundamental cell biological research to clinical and industrial implementations. The contactless nature of ultrasound makes it possible to manipulate living cells in a gentle way, e.g., for positioning, sorting, and aggregation. However, when manipulating cells using ultrasound, especially using high acoustic amplitudes, a great deal of heat can be generated. This constitutes a challenge, since the viability of cells is dependent on a stable physiological temperature aroun

The time of bolting is an important factor in lettuce production because it affects the yield and quality of the harvested crop. Bolting is promoted by higher temperatures and is an increasing problem for growers with the current trend for warmer summers. Lettuce plants that are in the early stages of bolting are visibly indistinguishable from non-bolting plants, however there are changes in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites which are produced to protect the young floral bud from insect attack. These compounds give the lettuce plant a bitter taste and render the crop unsaleable. The de

Cortical cultures are increasingly implemented as an in vitro model of cortical networks for the study of network level learning and memory using planar multi-electrode arrays. However the recurrent, culture-wide synchronous activity (termed 'global bursts') exhibited by cortical cultures is not representative of the predominantly asynchronous activity characteristic of the intact cortex. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that such activity can interfere with the induction of plasticity and thus result in findings which cannot be related to networks in vivo. Critically, the mechanisms underly
