Abstract:

CAPES<br>O trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) é amplamente cultivado na região Sul do Brasil, a qual responde por cerca de 90% da produção nacional do cereal. Entretanto, ocorre grande variação climática nas diferentes áreas tritícolas que comprometem o rendimento de grãos. Assim, é importante que as cultivares possuam boa estabilidade e alto rendimento quando cultivada em diferentes locais. O objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar uma revisão para expor as qualidades das metodologias AMMI e GGE Biplot e, posteriormente, avaliar a adaptabilidade e estabilidade de cultivares de trigo, submetidas a dife

Abstract:

Despite the marked deceleration in the amount of ozone lost at the poles each year, high levels of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) continue to reach our biosphere, potentially threatening living organisms, which owing to their life-histories and physiological constraints, are unable to avoid exposure to UVR. I aimed to demonstrate that cetaceans are affected by UVR and that they have adaptive mechanisms against exposure. Using histological analyses of skin biopsies and high-quality photographs, I characterized and quantified UVR-induced lesions in 184 blue, fin and sperm whales sampled in th

Abstract:

The performance of parabolic trough based solar power plants over the last 25 years has proven that this technology is an excellent alternative for the commercial power industry. Compared to conventional power plants, parabolic trough solar power plants produce significantly lower levels of carbon dioxide, although additional research is required to bring the cost of concentrator solar plants to a competitive level. The cost reduction is focused on three areas: thermodynamic efficiency improvements by research and development, scaling up of the unit size, and mass production of the equipment.

Abstract:

While photovoltaic (PV) renewable energy production has surged, concerns remain about whether or not PV power plants induce a "heat island" (PVHI) effect, much like the increase in ambient temperatures relative to wildlands generates an Urban Heat Island effect in cities. Transitions to PV plants alter the way that incoming energy is reflected back to the atmosphere or absorbed, stored, and reradiated because PV plants change the albedo, vegetation, and structure of the terrain. Prior work on the PVHI has been mostly theoretical or based upon simulated models. Furthermore, past empirical work

It has a capacity to process sixty-five clothing samples in about twenty-five minutes. The FTMS was calibrated against a spectroradiometer. Th

Abstract:

Following reports that limited gene transfer may be facilitated by making crosses with irradiated pollen, a debate has arisen as to the cause of the observed results. If maternal trends that occurred in the second generation (the M2) were largely due to the persistence of radiation induced damage, then pollen irradiation would be of little value to plant breeders. But if much of the paternal genome had been eliminated, the method could offer breeders a cheap and simple means of transferring just a few characters from one plant genome to another.

Treatment with ethylene accelerated the ripening process, evidenced by colour changes. Chlorophyllase apparently synthesised chlorophyll in the 0.2 kGy irradiated fruit during the post-climacteric period. Gamma irradiation of green bananas with doses of 0.4 kGy or greater resulted in extensive tissue damage, undesirable colour development, and drastic changes in respiration and ethylene production. Irradiation at 0.2 kGy, did however, ef

Abstract:

Two models have recently been proposed to explain systemic abiotic stress signaling in Arabidopsis: the idea of a cell-to-cell autonomous system within an individual leaf, as well as an algorithmic model of intercellular signaling functioning as a whole-plant stress signaling network. Both models assume a universal stress signaling mechanism that acts via plasma membrane-bound NADPH-oxidases to induce apoplastic H2O2 in order to signal to neighbouring cells. These models are problematic, however, as they do not address the idea of stress specificity which is currently believed to be perceived

Abstract:

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>航空太空工程學系碩士班<br>106<br>In this study, the environmental impact from the solar proton events, specifically on the inner radiation belt, are analyzed based on observations by the Van Allen Probe. The solar proton events occurred from 2013 to 2015 are selected and data of proton recorded by Relativistic Proton Spectrometer at these event times are analyzed. The analyzed results show that the proton differential fluxes increases when solar proton events occurred, and the onset time of these increases are earlier than the onset time of solar proton events defined by observations from G
