The Hidrogen sulfide is one of the substances most dangers in the oil and gas production. The H2S causes great economic losses to industries and so their removal is desired. The use of the triazine to remove the H2S has been extensively documented in the literature. However, the number of products that present the physical and chemical properties desired to act as H2S scavenger, available in the market, is reduced. For this reason, the search by molecules that act in removing of H2S has been the object of research in the worldwide. The goal of this work was investigate the thermal stability of two different H2S scavengers: 1,3,5-tris (hydroxyethyl) hexahydro-s-triazine (commercial) and 1,3,5-tris (hydroxypropyl) hexahydro-s-triazine (synthesized in our laboratory ) when they are subject to processing condition in a pilot plant. To achieve this goal was built a pilot plant capable of simulating some operating conditions of the pre-salt exploration, such as temperature, shear rate and residence time. The thermal stability (degradation) of the triazines was investigated by monitoring the conductivity of the samples. For comparison purposes were performed condutimetry tests of samples in bench tests in the laboratory and pilot plant at temperatures of 30?C, 40?C, 50?C, 60?C and 80?C. For both triazines, the conductivity values obtained in the pilot plant is much higher than those found in bench tests: 65.1 S/cm (2C) and 65.1 S/cm (3C) and 45.5 S/cm (2C), and 32.1 S/cm (3C) respectively. The results showed that the conductivity values are strongly affected by the processing time, being more evident differences in their bench tests. The results of monitoring the conductivity of the samples allowed to verify that the 1,3,5-tris (hydroxyethyl) hexahydro-s-triazine (commercial) and 1,3,5-tris (hydroxypropyl) hexahydro-s- triazine (synthesized in our laboratory) does not undergo degradation under the process conditions which have been subjected, either in bench tests or plant pilot.
O sulfeto de Hidrog?nio ? uma das subst?ncias mais perigosas na produ??o de petr?leo e g?s. O H2S provoca grandes perdas econ?micas para as ind?strias e assim a sua remo??o ? desejada. O uso da triazina para remover o H2S tem sido extensivamente documentado na literatura. No entanto, o n?mero de produtos que apresentam propriedades f?sicas e qu?micas desejadas para actuar como eliminador de H2S, dispon?vel no mercado, ? reduzida. Por esta raz?o, a busca por mol?culas que atuem na remo??o de H2S tem sido o objeto de pesquisa no mundo inteiro. O objectivo deste trabalho foi o de investigar a estabilidade t?rmica de duas diferentes sequestrantes de H2S: 1,3,5-tris (hidroxietil) hexa-hidro-s-triazina (comercial) e 1,3,5-tris (hidroxipropil) hexa-hidro-s-triazina (sintetizada em laborat?rio), quando eles est?o sujeitos a condi??o de processamento em uma planta piloto. Para atingir este objetivo foi constru?da uma planta piloto capaz de simular algumas condi??es de processamento da explora??o do pr?-sal, tais como temperatura, taxa de cisalhamento e tempo de resid?ncia. A estabilidade t?rmica (degrada??o) das triazinas, foi investigada atrav?s da monitoriza??o da condutividade das amostras. Para fins de compara??o foram realizados testes condutimetria de amostras em ensaios de bancada de laborat?rio e na planta piloto nas temperaturas de 30?C, 40?C, 50?C, 60?C e 80?C. Para ambas as triazinas, os valores de condutividade obtidos na instala??o piloto ? muito mais elevado do que aqueles encontrados no banco: 65,1 S/cm (2c) e 65,1 S/cm (3C) e 45,5 S/cm (2C), e 32,1 S/cm (3C), respectivamente. Os resultados mostraram que os valores de condutividade s?o fortemente afetados pelo tempo de processamento, sendo as diferen?as mais evidentes em seus testes de bancada. Os resultados da monitoriza??o da condutividade das amostras permitiram verificar que o 1,3,5-tris (hidroxietil) hexa-hidro-s-triazina (comercial) e 1,3,5-tris (hidroxipropil) hexa-hidro-triazina S- (sintetizado no nosso laborat?rio) n?o sofre degrada??o sob as condi??es de processo que foram sujeitos, tanto em testes de bancada ou planta piloto

The technique of phase labeling has the ability to greatly enhance synthetic protocol by simplifying purification and increasing efficiency. Traditional insoluble supports offer efficient and simple recovery of the “phase tagged” material but suffer from problems inherent to their heterogeneous nature. A solution to these problems has been to utilize phase separable soluble polymers in the design of “smart” responsive systems that offer the option of homogenous reaction conditions with heterogeneous separation conditions. The subject of this dissertation focuses on the application of soluble polymeric phase tags in systems where the miscibility between solid-liquid and liquid-liquid systems is thermally induced. Low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) oligomers were investigated as phase anchors for SCS palladacycle catalysts. The oligomeric PEG chains were sufficient to engender polar phase solubility in a heptane-DMA thermomorphic system. Microwave irradiation of these thermomorphic mixtures of palladium complexes and substrates was a viable scheme to recycle and significantly shorten reaction times for simple Heck reactions of aryl iodides. Soluble polymeric supports possessing a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) were utilized in the sequestration of the S-triazine herbicide, atrazine, from contaminated water samples. The ability of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) to sequester hydrophobic guests like atrazine was examined. A functionalized PNIPAM derivative containing secondary cyclic amines exhibited superior sequestration ability that was credited to the covalent binding of the atrazine. In order to facilitate the design of tailored, thermally responsive, smart polymers, a high throughput temperature gradient microfluidic device was used to obtain LCST data in a fast, accurate manner. The specific ion effects of various alkali metal halide salts on the LCST of PNIPAM were investigated. The high precision in the measurements enabled more subtle effects such as changes in solvent isotope, polymer microstructure, molecular weight, and importance of end group effects on the LCST of poly(N-alkylacrylamide)s to be evaluated.

Objetivou-se com esse trabalho fazer uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o uso de aditivos sequestrantes de umidade, assim como o uso do farelo de dendê como aditivo para silagens de capim-elefante, após isso, houve um experimento científico em que avaliou-se o efeito da adição de farelo de dendê como aditivo sequestrante de umidade na silagem de capim-elefante. As características químicobromatológicas e fermentativas foram analisadas em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com seis tratamentos e seis repetições onde as médias dos resultados dos dias de fechamento e de abertura foram analisados por meio de análise de regressão. Nas análises de estabilidade aeróbia empregou-se esquema de parcelas subdivididas, de modo que os tratamentos foram aleatorizados nas parcelas e os tempos de avaliação nas subparcelas. Coletaram-se amostras no momento da ensilagem e após 190 dias de armazenamento para avaliação dos teores de matéria seca, proteína bruta, carboidratos (totais, não-fibrosos, solúveis em água, celulose e hemicelulose), material mineral, lignina e extrato etéreo. Nos dias de aerobiose coletaram-se amostras para obter valores de pH, nitrogênio amoniacal, fungos e leveduras. O capim-elefante deste experimento apresentou valores de 13,9% de MS e 8,25% de PB enquanto que o FD possui 77,2% de MS e 16,9% de PB. A inclusão de FD teve influência direta nas populações de fungos e leveduras durante a fase de estabilidade aeróbia, quanto maior a dose, menor a proliferação, em consequência disso, os valores de pH e N-NH3 também apresentaram comportamento semelhante. A inclusão do farelo de Dendê em doses entre 10% a 15% podem ser usadas em silagens de capim-elefante, inibindo fermentações indesejáveis e tornando-as mais estáveis, doses acima deste valor podem comprometer o valor nutritivo da silagem pelo alto teor de lignina do aditivo.
The objective of this work to review existing literature on the use of additives sequestering moisture, as well as the use of palm kernel meal as a additive for elephant-grass silage, after that, there was a scientific experiment in which we evaluated the effect of adding bran oil palm as an wet kidnapper additive in elephantgrass silage. The chemical qualitative and fermentation were analyzed in a completely randomized design with six treatments and six replications, where the averages of the results of days of closing and opening were analyzed by regression analysis. In the aerobic stability analysis was employed subdivided plots, so that the treatments were randomized in plots and the evaluation times in the subplots. Samples were collected at the time of ensiling and after 190 days of storage for evaluation of dry matter, crude protein, carbohydrates (total, non-fibrous, watersoluble, cellulose and hemicellulose), mineral material, lignin and lipids. In the days aerobic samples were collected for pH, nitrogen for ammonia, fungi and yeasts. The elephant grass this experiment showed values of 13.9% DM and 8.25% CP while the FD has 77.2% DM and 16.9% CP. The inclusion of FD had a direct influence on the populations of fungi and yeasts during the aerobic stability, the higher the dose, the less proliferation as a result, the values of pH and NH3-N also showed similar behavior. The inclusion of bran Palm at doses in the range of 10% to 15% can be used in silage of elephant, inhibiting undesired fermentation and making them more stable, doses above this value may affect the nutritive value of silage by high lignin content of the additive.

The animal production potential grows fast and food production is always being challenged to meet this need in the nutrition as well as in the economic context. Forage plants are the basis of the diet of ruminants in most production systems in tropical regions. Forage availability varies during the year depending on weather conditions. It turns necessary to have stored forage to supplement the animals. Silage is the most widely used form of stored forage. The tropical grasses ensiling is an alternative to traditional silage crops because it can be used the surplus produced in the rainy season. However, the fermentation process can be altered by many factors, making difficult the production of good quality silage so there is the need of using additives as a means of improving the nutritional and fermentative quality of these types of silages. Thus, this study aimed to use moisture sequestering additives: soybean, canola, sunflower and cotton meal, in the production of B. brizantha silage in order to improve the nutritional value, fermentative value, degradability and digestibility of these silages, thus obtaining information about alternative materials for the production of good quality silage. The experiment was carried out a part in experimental PVC silos and estimated the bromatologic parameters, effluent and gas losses, N-NH3, pH, titratable acidity, protein fractions and silage degradability, and the other part in experimental silos with a capacity of 200 kg to evaluate the performance of sheep fed with these silages through intake and total tract digestibility of nutrients, metabolic and rumen parameters of these animals. The silages of Brachiaria brizantha with sequestering moisture additives were effective in keeping concentrations of plasma metabolic and ruminal profile parameters within the reference levels, increasing the readily soluble A fraction and decreasing the C protein fraction consequently improving the ruminal degradability, and reducing the silage losses. Therefore it is recommended its use as an alternative to ruminant nutrition.
O potencial de produção animal cresce num ritmo acelerado e a produção de alimentos está sempre sendo desafiada a suprir essa necessidade tanto no contexto nutricional quanto econômico. As plantas forrageiras constituem a base da dieta dos ruminantes na grande maioria dos sistemas de produção das regiões tropicais. A disponibilidade de forragem é variável durante o ano, dependendo de condições climáticas. Isto gera a necessidade de se ter forragem conservada sendo a silagem a forma mais utilizada. A ensilagem de capins tropicais é uma alternativa à ensilagem de culturas tradicionais podendo ser utilizada o excedente produzido na época das águas. No entanto, o processo fermentativo pode ser alterado por alguns fatores, dificultando a confecção de silagens de boa qualidade, havendo assim a necessidade do uso de aditivos como meio de melhora da qualidade nutricional e fermentativa desses tipos de silagens. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho visou utilizar aditivos sequestrantes de umidade: farelos de soja, canola, girassol e algodão, na confecção de silagens de Brachiaria brizantha com o objetivo de melhorar o valor nutritivo, valor fermentativo, degradabilidade e digestibilidade dessas silagens, obtendo assim, informações sobre materiais alternativos para a confecção de silagens de qualidade. O experimento foi realizado uma parte em silos experimentais de PVC e estimados os parâmetros bromatológicos, as perdas por efluentes, perdas por gases, N-NH3, pH, acidez titulável, frações proteicas e a degradabilidade da massa ensilada, e outra parte em silos experimentais com capacidade para 200 kg para avaliar o desempenho de ovinos alimentados com essas silagens, através de consumo e digestibilidade total dos nutrientes, parâmetros metabólicos e ruminais destes animais. As silagens de Brachiaria brizantha com aditivos sequestrantes de umidade foram eficientes em manter as concentrações dos metabólicos plasmáticos e parâmetros de perfil ruminal dentro dos níveis de referência, aumentar a fração A prontamente solúvel e diminuir a fração C da proteína consequentemente melhorando a degradabilidade ruminal, e diminuindo as perdas da silagem. Portanto sendo recomendado o seu uso como alternativa para a nutrição de ruminantes.

O Brasil apresenta grande potencial para a exploração da apicultura, dado ao seu vasto território e flora diversificada, o que permite diferentes variedades de méis com propriedades únicas. O estado do Paraná é um dos maiores produtores de méis do país e o investimento em produção que atenda aos mercados mais exigentes estimulou a produção do mel orgânico. O conhecimento desde a antiguidade sobre os efeitos benéficos à saúde pelo mel vem estimulando a pesquisa deste alimento nobre. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivo estudar méis orgânicos brasileiros certificados (MO) para a caracterização do perfil fenólico, volátil, além da avaliação da capacidade de sequestro das espécies reativas de oxigênio e nitrogênio. Os méis foram coletados nos apiários de apicultores com certificação orgânica de dois municípios do sul do Paraná, General Carneiro e Turvo-PR. Nos ensaios foram utilizados extratos fenólicos dos méis, obtidos por meio da utilização da resina Amberlite® XAD®2, bem como méis brutos in natura. Os extratos apresentaram conteúdo de compostos fenólicos significativo, sendo o melato (MO5), de General Carneiro, o de maior teor (117,68± 4,40 mg EAG/g). Para as análises de sequestro das espécies reativas de oxigênio e nitrogênio, os extratos fenólicos foram sempre superiores aos méis brutos in natura. Os extratos fenólicos, de maneira geral, apresentaram alta capacidade de sequestro para o radical peroxila (ROOo), ácido hipocloroso (HOCl) e óxido nítrico (NOo). Em relação aos melatos, o extrato MO7 apresentou alta capacidade para o sequestro do HOCl (EC50= 4,83 ± 0,13 ?g/mL), enquanto que o MO5 foi melhor para o sequestro do NOo (EC50=2,16 ± 0,18 ?g/mL). Pelo método HPLC-ABTS on-line foi possível identificar e quantificar a contribuição para a atividade antioxidante do ácido ferúlico no extrato (MO1) e do flavonoide kanferol na amostra (MO4). O ácido ascórbico foi identificado e quantificado por HPLC somente nos melatos (MO3, MO5 e MO7). Pela técnica de LC-MS/MS foram identificados a presença dos seguintes compostos fenólicos: ácido caféico, rutina e hesperidina em todos os extratos. A análise de compostos voláteis por SPME-CG/EM mostrou a presença de dois compostos, encontrados apenas nos melatos, que foram o terpineno-4-ol, que possui ação antifúngica, antiparasitológica e anti-inflamatória; e o 3,4-dimetil-1-deceno, podendo assim serem utilizados como marcadores químicos destes méis. O conhecimento da composição química destes méis, bem como a composição fenólica bioativa, contribui para o fornecimento de antioxidantes naturais para a dieta, atenuando assim os efeitos negativos dos radicais livres
Brazil has a great potential to explore beekeeping due to its vast territory and diversified flora, what allows different varieties of honeys with unique characteristics. Parana state is one of the largest honey producers and the investment in production that meets the most demanding markets stimulated the organic honey production. The knowledge since early in history regarding the beneficial health effects promoted by honey is stimulating the scientific research of this noble food. Thus, this paper aimed to study certified Brazilian organic honeys (MO) in order to determine the phenolic and volatile profiles, and also the evaluation of radical scavenging capacity against Nitrogen and Oxygen Reactive Species (RNS and ROS, respectively). The honeys were collected from apiaries from beekeepers with the organic certification from two municipalities of southern Parana, General Carneiro and Turvo, PR. In the essays, phenolic extracts were obtained from honeys by using Amberlite® XAD®2 resin, as well as crude in natura honeys. The extracts showed a significant content in phenolic compounds, with honeydew (MO5), from General Carneiro, showing the highest content (117,68 ± 4,40 mg AGE/g). For the analyzes to determine the radical scavenging capacity against RNS and ROS, the phenolic extracts always showed up superior results in comparison to crude in natura honeys. Phenolic extracts showed, in general, great capacity to scavenge peroxyl radical (ROOo), hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and nitric oxide (NOo). In relation to honeydews MO7 extract showed the highest capacity to scavenge HOCl (IC50= 4,83 ± 0,13 ?g/mL) while MO5 was the sample with better capacity to scavenge NOo (IC50=2,16 ± 0,18 ?g/mL). By using HPLC-ABTS on-line method it was possible to identify and to quantify the ferulic acid in MO1 extract, a compound with an important contribution to the antioxidant activity of this sample, as well as the flavonoid kaempferol in MO4 sample. Ascorbic acid was identified and quantified by HPLC only in the honeydew samples (MO3, MO5 and MO7). The analyzes developed by LC-MS/MS techniques indicated the presence of the phenolic compounds caffeic acid, rutin and hesperidin in all the extracts. The analysis of volatile substances developed by SPME-GC/MS promoted the identification of two compounds found only in the honeydew samples. The compounds were the terpinen-4-ol, which has antifungal, antiparasitological and anti-inflammatory activities; and 3,4-dimethyl-1-decene. Both compounds can be used as chemical markers of these honeys. The knowledge of the chemical composition of the studied honeys, as well as their bioactive phenolic composition, contributes to supply natural antioxidants to human diet, thus attenuating the negative effects of free radicals

The present work aimed to evaluate the use of tannins as adsorbent of heavy metals in broiler chicks fed diets with different levels of mussel flour inclusion in replacement of limestone of the feeding. Two experiments were divided in two phases with two assays each. In the first experiment we conducted a trial to evaluate the performance of broiler chicks from 1 to 21 days fed wattle tannin, using for it 720 Cobb-500 1-day-old male broiler chicks distributed in a completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates of 20 birds in each experimental unit. The treatments were composed by basal diets with increasing levels of wattle tannin (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 g/ton-1 of wattle tannin). The results showed that the use of 250 g/ton-1 of tannin was detrimental to performance, and morphometric measurements suffered no statistical difference using tannin in the diet. In the second trial, we evaluated the performance of broiler chicks from 1 to 21 days of age fed increasing levels (0, 25, 50, 75, 100%) of replacement of mussel meal by limestone in feeding and still supplementation or not of wattle tannin (250 g/ton-1 of wattle tannin) with 5 replicates per treatment. For that, 1200 Cobb-500 1-day-old male broiler chicks were housed in a completely randomized design, with 24 birds each. The results showed that the golden mussel has lot of calcium, low levels of heavy metals, and microbiological contamination did not present or is below the amounts allowed by law. For performance, the data demonstrated that the use of mussel can be performed up to 100% replacement of the limestone in feeding without affecting the variables, but the use of 250 g/ton-1 of wattle tannin was detrimental to the performance of broiler chicks. There was no influence on the use of mussel and tannin on the deposition of heavy metals in the body of birds. The variables, liver and kidneys showed the interaction between the tested diets. The bony features, just gray on fresh matter showed interaction between treatments. In the second experiment, the first test was to evaluate the performance of broiler chickens to the stage 21-42 days, fed with wattle tannin. For that, 648 Cobb-500 21-days-old male broilers were distributed in a completely randomized design, divided into six treatments and six replicates of 18 birds in each experimental unit. The treatments were composed by basal diets with increasing levels of wattle tannin (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 g/ton-1 of wattle tannin). The data showed that the use of levels above 500 g / t of wattle tannin in the diet is detrimental to the performance of the birds, and there were no statistical differences in morphometric measures. Carcass yield decreased linearly with the addition of tannin in the diet and there was a decrease in fat deposition, and an increase in liver size. In the second trial, the performance of broilers from 21 to 42 days was evaluated. For that, 900 Cobb-500 21-days-old male broilers were housed in a completely randomized design, with increasing levels of substitution (0, 25, 50, 75, 100%) of the golden mussel flour in replacement of limestone and also with supplement or not of wattle tannin (250 g/ton-1 of wattle tannin) with 5 replicates per treatment and 18 birds in each experimental unit. The performance showed that the use of mussel can be performed up to 100% in replacement of the limestone in the feeding without affecting the variables, but the use of 250 g/ton-1 of wattle tannin was detrimental to the performance of broiler chickens cutting. For bony features, the use of tannin decreased bone strength (kgf) and increased phosphorus in natural matter, and there was an interaction between variables to Seedor index and gray on fresh matter. The use of tannin negatively affected carcass yield and the relative weight of kidneys, and there was a significant interaction for yield wings and legs. Calcium levels in the blood suffered interaction between the substitution levels studied
O desenvolvimento deste trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a utilização de taninos como adsorvente de metais tóxicos em rações de pintos de corte alimentados com diferentes níveis de inclusão de farinha de mexilhão dourado em substituição ao calcário calcítico das rações. Foram realizados dois experimentos divididos em duas fases com dois ensaios cada, no primeiro experimento foi realizado um ensaio para avaliar o desempenho de pintos de corte para fase 1 a 21 dias, alimentados com tanino de acácia, utilizando-se 720 pintos de corte, machos, com um dia de idade, Cobb 500, distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com seis tratamentos e seis repetições, com 20 aves em cada unidade experimental. Os tratamentos eram formados por rações basais com níveis crescentes de tanino de acácia (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 g/ton-1 de tanino de acácia). Os resultados demostraram que a utilização de 250 g/ton-1 de tanino foi prejudicial para o desempenho, e as medidas morfométricas não sofreram diferença estatística utilizando tanino na dieta. Num segundo ensaio foi avaliado o desempenho de pintos de corte para a fase 1 a 21 dias de idade alimentados com níveis crescente (0; 25; 50; 75; 100%) de substituição de farinha de mexilhão dourado pelo calcário calcítico da ração e ainda a suplementação ou não de tanino de acácia (250 g/ton-1 de tanino de acácia), com 5 repetições por tratamento. Foram alojados em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, 1200 pintos de corte, machos, com um dia de idade, Cobb 500, com 24 aves por unidade experimental. Os resultados apontaram que o mexilhão dourado possui grande quantidade de cálcio, níveis baixíssimos de metais tóxicos, e a contaminação microbiológica não apresentou ou encontra-se abaixo dos valores permitidos pela legislação vigente. Para o desempenho, os dados demonstraram que a utilização do mexilhão dourado pode ser realizada em até 100% de substituição ao calcário calcítico das rações sem afetar as variáveis estudadas, porém a utilização de 250 g/ton-1 de tanino de acácia foi prejudicial para o desempenho dos pintos de corte. Não foi observado influencia na utilização de mexilhão dourado e tanino sobre a deposição de metais tóxicos no organismo das aves. As variáveis, fígado e rins, apresentaram interação entre as dietas avaliadas. As características osseas, apenas a cinza na matéria natural apresentou interação entre os fatores estudados. No segundo experimento, o primeiro ensaio teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de frangos de corte para a fase de 21 a 42 dias, alimentados com tanino de acácia. Aos 21 dias foram distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com 648 frangos de corte, machos, Cobb 500 divididos em seis tratamentos e seis repetições, com 18 aves em cada unidade experimental. Os tratamentos eram formados por rações basais com níveis crescentes de tanino de acácia (0, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 g/ton-1 de tanino de acácia). Os dados encontrados demostraram que a utilização com níveis acima de 500 g/ton-1 de tanino de acácia na dieta é prejudicial para o desempenho das aves, e não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas para as medidas morfométricas. O rendimento de carcaça decresceu linearmente com a inclusão de tanino na dieta, e houve uma diminuição na deposição de gordura, e um aumento no tamanho do fígado. No segundo ensaio foi avaliado o desempenho de frangos de corte para a fase de 21 a 42 dias, alojados em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com níveis crescente de substituição (0; 25; 50; 75; 100%) de farinha de mexilhão dourado pelo calcário calcítico da ração e ainda a suplementação ou não de tanino de acácia (250 g/ton-1 de tanino de acácia), com 5 repetições por tratamento. Aos 21 dias as aves foram distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, 900 frangos de corte, machos, Cobb 500, com 18 aves em cada unidade experimental. O desempenho nesta fase demonstrou que a utilização do mexilhão dourado pode ser realizada em até 100% de substituição ao calcário calcítico das rações sem afetar as variáveis estudadas, porém a utilização de 250 g/ton-1 de tanino de acácia foi prejudicial para o desempenho dos frangos de corte. Para as características osseas, a utilização de tanino diminuiu a resistência óssea (kgf) e aumentou o fósforo na matéria natural, e houve interação entre as variáveis estudadas para o índice Seedor e cinza na matéria natural. A utilização de tanino afetou negativamente o rendimento de carcaça e o peso relativo dos rins, e houve interação significativa para o rendimento de asas e pernas. Os níveis de cálcio no sangue sofreram interação entre os níveis de substituição estudados

The present work aims to analyze the system of alleys, planting trees in rows associated with a commercial crop, in this case sugar cane, with three species of plants with timber characteristic, fertilize and fixative, making nutrient cycling, reducing the monoculture effects, with ecological and environmental gains. This technique will allow the increase of profits per hectare by fixing carbon during the growth period of these trees, besides the sale of wood production and promote the environmental sustainability of sugar cane. The physical parameters used to evaluate were monthly measurements during the first 2 years of experiment established, base diameter and the first branch plus the height of the stem of each plant, to thereby obtain the volume of each plant, to quantify the fixed carbon by non-destructive method. The results showed that the Guapuruvu capture media 685 g / plant of carbon, representing more 1.8 times than Cedar (381 g / plant) and 4.75 times more than Ipê (144 g / plant) in the same period. The Guapuruvu showed a yield higher than the Cedar and Ipe Yellow, both in tree growth and carbon fixation in evaluate period. The Arboreal species did not affect the development of the culture of sugar cane in the bands 30 and 45 meters of cultivation, only in 60 meters there was interference.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o sistema de aleias, plantio de árvores em linhas associado a uma cultura agrícola, neste caso a canavieira, com três espécies de plantas de característica madeireiras, adubadeira e fixadora, realizando a ciclagem de nutrientes, diminuindo os efeitos da monocultura, apresentando ganhos ecológicos e ambientais. Essa técnica poderá possibilitar o aumento de renda por hectare, através da fixação de carbono ao longo do período de crescimento destas árvores, alem da venda da produção de madeiras, desde que averbada legalmente e promover a sustentabilidade ambiental da cultura canavieira. Os parâmetros físicos utilizados para avaliação foram as medidas mensais nos primeiros dois anos do experimento implantado, dos diâmetros de base e de primeiro galho mais a altura do fuste de cada árvore, para assim obter o volume de cada planta, para quantificar o carbono fixado através de método não destrutivo. Os resultados demonstraram que o guapuruvú apresentou uma captura média de 685 g/planta de carbono, representando 1,8 vez mais que o cedro (381 g/planta) e 4,75 vezes mais que o ipê (144 g/planta) no mesmo período. O guapuruvú também apresentou um rendimento superior em relação ao cedro e ipê amarelo, no crescimento das árvores neste período de avaliação. As espécies arbóreas não afetaram a produção da cultura da cana-de-açúcar nas faixas 30 e 45 m de cultivo, sendo que apenas em 60 m foi possível detectar interferência.

Entre as bebibas mais consumidas no Brasil destaca-se o café, um grão pertencente à família Rubiaceae, gênero Coffea. O Brasil produziu em 2014, 45,3milhões de sacas de café. As exportações brasileiras chegaram a aproximadamente 33,36 milhões de sacas, com o faturamento de US 5,98 bilhões. Vários fatores podem influenciar na qualidade da bebida, como a variedade, condições de cultivo, maturação dos frutos, fatores pré e pós-colheita, secagem, torração dos grãos entre outras, Além disso, o café apresenta na sua composição compostos bioativos como ácidos fenólicos, cafeína e trigonelina, que podem auxiliar na prevenção de algumas doenças. O objetivo deste estudo foi quantificar os teores de fenólicos e flavonóides totais, a atividade antioxidante, cafeína e composição de ácidos fenólicos de quatro cultivares de Coffea arabica (Acaiá, Obatã, Catuaí Amarelo, Catuaí Vermelho) durante os estádios de maturação dos frutos (verde, verde-cana, cereja e passa) e do cereja descascado. A atividade antioxidante foi medida pelo método de redução dos radicais DPPH e ABTS; os fenólicos totais pelo método de Folin-Ciocalteu; e os flavonóides totais pela reação colorimétrica com cloreto de alumínio. Os ácidos fenólicos (ácido clorogênico, ácido ferúlico e trigonelina) foram separados e quantificados por HPLC com detector por arranjo de diodos e em coluna de C18. Os cultivares Catuaí Amarelo e Catuaí Vermelho apresentaram os maiores teores de compostos fenólicos totais e flavonoides totais. Os cultivares Acaiá e Obatã apresentaram maior teor de cafeína. Em relação ao ácido clorogênico, maiores concentrações foram observadas nos cultivares Acaiá e Catuaí Vermelho e maior teor de ácifo ferrúlico no cultivar Catuaí Amarelo. Maior atividade antioxidante foi encontrada no cultivar Acaiá e menor, no Obatã. Com a maturação dos frutos há uma diminuição na concentração de cafeína. Maior...
Among the most consumed bebibas in Brazil stands out for coffee, a grain belonging to the Rubiaceae family, genus Coffea. Brazil produced in 2014, 45,3milhões bags of coffee. Brazilian exports reached approximately 33.36 million bags, with the US 5.98 billion revenue. Several factors may influence the quality of the beverage, as the variety, growing conditions, ripening of fruits, factors pre and post-harvest, drying, roasting of the beans among others, also the coffee has in its bioactive composition as phenolic acids, caffeine and trigonelline, which may help prevent some diseases. The objective of this study was to quantify the phenolic content and total flavonoids, antioxidant activity, caffeine and phenolic acids composition of four cultivars of Coffea arabica (Acaiá, Obatã, Catuaí Yellow Catuaí Red) during fruit maturation stages (green, green-cane, cherry and passes) and pulped. Antioxidant activity was measured by the reduction method of DPPH and ABTS radicals; total phenolics by the Folin-Ciocalteu method; and the total flavonoids by colorimetric reaction with aluminum chloride. Phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, trigonelline and ferulic acid) were separated and quantified by HPLC with diode array detector and a C18 column. The cultivars Catuaí Yellow and Catuaí Red showed the highest levels of total phenolic compounds and total flavonoids. The Acaiá and Obatã cultivars had higher caffeine content. Regarding the chlorogenic acid, higher concentrations were observed in Acaiá and Catuaí Red cultivars and most ácifo ferulic content in Catuaí Yellow. Higher antioxidant activity was found in Acaiá and lower in Obatã. With the ripening of fruits there is a decrease in caffeine concentration. Highest antioxidant activity of coffee fruit is due to the content of chlorogenic acid.

Molecular technology has shown the classical, morphologically defined groupings of sequestrate cortinarioid fungi to be artificial and in need of revision. However, these same molecular studies have highlighted morphological characters, such as spore shape and ornamentation, that have proved useful for distinguishing phylogenetically informative groups. This observation underpins the hypothesis of this study: that the numeric analysis of selected morphological characters can provide the same picture of the diversity of, and relationships among, sequestrate cortinarioid fungi as that recovered from phylogenetic analysis of rDNA sequence data. Sequestrate fungi are those in which the spores mature inside an enclosed fruit body, remaining there until the fruit body decomposes or is eaten. For the purposes of this thesis the following genera are considered to contain cortinarioid sequestrate fungi: Auritella, Cortinarius, Dermocybe, Descomyces, Hymenogaster, Hysterogaster, Inocybe, Protoglossum, Quadrispora, Setchelliogaster and Timgrovea. This thesis focussed on Australian representatives of these fungi to address the hypothesis outlined above. Four analysis methods were applied to each of three datasets (morphological, rDNA and combined data) in a comparative approach to test the stated hypothesis. The four analysis methods were two multivariate methods: cluster analysis and ordination (by principal coordinates analysis), and two phylogenetic methods: maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis. Low bootstrap support and Bayesian partition probabilities for phylogenetic analyses of the morphological data indicated this dataset had little to no phylogenetic signal discernable by parsimony and Bayesian analyses. Different analyses of the morphological data differed in the way they grouped the collections. The type of clustering method used affected the pattern of relationships recovered. The coding of the data had a much more substantial effect on the patterns of relatedness suggested by the multivariate analyses. Despite the low level of phylogenetic information and agreement between analyses of the morphological data it was found that some collections were consistently grouped together. This included the separation of the Cortinarius-like collections from the Descolea-like collections and the relatively consistent grouping of some pairs of collections and some larger groups. Thus, despite the limited phylogenetic signal of the small morphological dataset and the artefacts of coding, some relatively consistent groups were recovered. Separate analyses of the Cortinarius-, Descolea- and Hebeloma-like ITS sequences recovered similar patterns to published phylogenies. The inclusion of more sequestrate taxa and a greater sample of Australian collections than previous studies, indicated that both Timgrovea subgenera nest among the Descolea-like collections and that hitherto undiscovered lineages of Descolea-like fungi are represented among the collections in Australian herbaria. The Cortinarius-like fungi fall within clades recognised by published phylogenies. Similar topologies were supported by both Parsimony bootstrap and Bayesian partition probability values for analyses of the molecular data including the separation of Cortinarius-like collections from Descolea-like collections. However neither of these methods of analysis and evaluation yielded well-resolved deeper nodes for either of these two major clades. Comparable clades/clusters of Cortinarius- like and Descolea-like collections were found in all analyses of the molecular data. Thus phylogenetically distinct groups of cortinarioid sequestrate fungi could be consistently distinguished using ITS molecular data, but not confidently related to one another. The ratio of molecular to morphological characters (741:16) meant the patterns observed for the combined analyses were more similar to those observed in analyses of the molecular data than those of the morphological data. This included the recovery of substantially similar clades/clusters to those recovered by analyses of the molecular data alone. The value of combining the morphological and molecular data as analysed is questioned despite the congruence of the datasets according to the Incongruence-Length Difference test. Differences between the molecular and combined datasets arose primarily where the molecular data grouped collections that were also grouped by the morphological data. The numeric analysis of the selected morphological characters as carried out in this study did not recover the same pattern of groups and relationships among the cortinarioid sequestrate fungi as phylogenetic analyses of ITS data. The composition of groups recovered using the morphological data alone or as part of the combined dataset, and the relationships between those groups, differed from those recovered from the molecular data alone; although there were similarities between groups recovered from different datasets. The ability of this thesis to conclusively address its fundamental hypothesis was compromised by limitations of the study such as taxon sampling, character selection, character coding and the poor resolution of the ITS phylogeny. Acknowledging these limitations, and that some similar groups were recovered, the results of this thesis do not support its stated hypothesis that the numeric analysis of selected morphological characters can provide the same picture of the diversity of, and relationships among, sequestrate cortinarioid fungi as recovered from phylogenetic analysis of rDNA sequence data.

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier trois aspects constitutifs du roman O Cortiço: la mentalité sociale, les relations de travail et la mobilité sociale. Animé et soutenu par les contributions de Antonio Candido dans l’essai De Cortiço a cortiço (1992), cet étude prétend developper une lecture complémentaire à celle du texte de Candido et analyser les tensions de la forme littéraire avec l'appréciation du contexte sociale. L'interprétation du texte littéraire est produite en reliant le texte et le contexte dans une tentative de compréhension de principe dialectique. Il est souligné que l'élément social est important en ce qu 'il influence la structure interne de l'oeuvre littéraire. L'objectif est d'élargir le débat sur les abus dans le marché du travail avec une certaine formalité - surtout un lieu des activités des hommes - en donnant une importance égale à la relation établie dans les affaires féminines et informelles, y compris ceux concernés par les lavandières et les prostituées. L'analyse examine également les mouvements de mobilité sociale et comment ils peuvent pointer les structures internes, les inspirations et les particularités de O Cortiço. Notre but est de présenter les contraintes de la transition entre le déclin du patriarcat rural et le renforcement du cadre urbain de la fin du XIXe siècle.
O objetivo dessa pesquisa é investigar três aspectos constitutivos d’O Cortiço: a mentalidade social, as relações de trabalho e a ascensão social. Inspirado e fundamentado nas contribuições de Antonio Candido em De Cortiço a cortiço (1992), o estudo visa a desenvolver uma leitura complementar à do ensaio, também analisando as tensões da forma literária conjuntamente à apreciação do âmbito social. A interpretação do texto literário se produz pela conexão de texto e contexto na tentativa do entendimento dialeticamente íntegro. Ressalta-se que o elemento social é importante na medida em que influencia a estrutura interna da obra literária. A intenção é ampliar o debate sobre os abusos no mercado de trabalho com certa formalidade – lugar, sobretudo, das atividades masculinas – dando igual ênfase às relações constituídas nos afazeres femininos e informais, aí incluídas as lavadeiras e as prostitutas. A análise, ainda, investiga os movimentos de ascensão social ocorridos e de que modo eles podem apontar as estruturas internas, as inspirações e as particularidades literárias d’O Cortiço. Busca-se apresentar as tensões da transição entre a decadência do patriarcado rural e o fortalecimento do contexto urbano no final do século XIX.

La presente ricerca, con un approccio qualitativo-ermeneutico, esplora il fenomeno del conflitto armato colombiano, con un focus specifico sul processo di reintegrazione sociale e sull’esperienza soggettiva come ex sequestrati e come ex guerriglieri. La ricerca consente un’esplorazione in profondità, integrando la dimensione politico-sociale con quella clinica, lasciando alla luce tre vertici d’analisi; Studio 1: le rappresentazioni sociali intorno alle figure di vittime e di carnefice e alle dinamiche relazionali del conflitto armato colombiano; 
 Studio 2: l’approccio, i metodi e le tecniche di lavoro degli operatori che si occupano di reintegrazione sociale di ex sequestrati (nella Fondazione País Libre) e di ex guerriglieri (nell’Agenzia Colombiana per la Reintegrazione, “ACR”); 
 Studio 3: le matrici familiari e i suoi principali risorse relazionali che hanno supportato i soggetti durante la loro esperienza come sequestrati e come guerriglieri e una volta rientrano in società. Sono analizzati i tre assi delle matrici familiari (le origini, i rapporti di coppia e il passaggio generazionale –Cigoli & Tamanza, 2009- e le risorse che possono alimentare la resilienza familiare (Walsh, 2005) Gli studi cercano di superare la dicotomia vittima/carnefice, che organizza l’opinione pubblica colombiana e le rappresentazioni sociali delle figure di ex-sequestrati (le vittime) ed ex-guerriglieri (i carnefici). I risultati degli studi effettuati possono fornire strumenti utili per orientare l’intervento clinico e favorire il processo di reintegrazione sociale. Si presentano a sua volta nuovi approcci che includono il lavoro decisivo delle comunità e delle famiglie, che si presentano come attori partecipativi e non passivi e vittimizzati come generalmente sono trattati.
The current research (with a qualitative-hermeneutic approach) explores the phenomenon of Colombian armed conflict. It is specifically focus on social reintegration process and the subjective experience of ex combatants and ex abducted people. The study of the phenomenon in its clinical and sociopolitical complexity, articulates three vertices of analysis: Study 1: Social representations, around the current armed conflict and its involved figures. Study 2: The principal models of intervention offered by two organizations that work directly with ex abducted people (País Libre Foundation) and with demobilized people from illegal groups (Colombian Agency for Reintegration, “ACR”). Study 3: Family patterns, and its principal relational resources tan have supported subjects during their experience as abducted or combatants and once their return to society. The three axes of family patterns were explored (the origins, the couple relationship and the generational passage –Cigoli & Tamanza-) and the resources that can support family resilience (Walsh, 2005). Results break traditional polarization on the lectures around Colombian armed conflict. The present research transcends the individual study of involved participants and of implications of traumatic facts, to explore inside their relationships and resources. New approaches are presented to orientate interventions in clinical psychology that could be helpful to social reintegration process. It is also presented a new approach that includes the decisive role of families and communities as active actors instead of passive and victimized as they have been generally treated.

A pesquisa em questão visou demonstrar as vantagens não só comerciais e técnicas, como também, ecológicas e ocupacionais da utilização do ácido cítrico nas empresas de beneficiamento têxtil, em comparação com o ácido acético, objetivando a implantação de um processo de tingimento mais sustentável, visto que, a exigência dos órgãos fiscalizadores tem crescido nos últimos anos e a busca na redução de custos operacionais e adequações ambientais são de vital importância para a sobrevivência e perpetuação das empresas de beneficiamento têxtil. Foram efetuados testes comparativos de medições de pH, neutralização de banhos alcalinos, comparação teórica de biodegradabilidade e danos à saúde e testes práticos comparativos contra dispersantes de tingimento e sequestrante e por fim os resultados práticos de tingimento em escala laboratorial. Os resultados demonstraram a compatibilidade do ácido cítrico frente ao acético no acerto de pH e neutralização de banhos alcalinos, demonstrado a capacidade do ácido cítrico em dispersar corantes dispersos superior à dispersantes de mercado, e superior poder de complexação frente à outros ácidos e ao Ladiquest 1097, e por fim foi constatado com base em dados teóricos a superioridade do ácido cítrico em comparação ao acético em questões ecológicas, possuindo o ácido cítrico valor de DQO em torno de 30% inferior ao ácido acético e toxicidade em torno de 70% inferior e por fim através dos tingimentos realizados pode-se comprovar a eficácia do ácido cítrico em processos de tingimento de poliéster e poliamida sem haver significativa alteração dos processos com ácido acético. A pesquisa pode demonstrar que a substituição do ácido acético, em processos de tingimento, pelo ácido cítrico é perfeitamente viável e além de trazer redução nos custos de processo na ordem de 12% nos tingimentos de poliéster e 0,76 no tingimento de poliamida, trará benefícios ambientais e ocupacionais às empresas que adotarem esta substituição, fazendo com que o ácido cítrico nas empresas de beneficiamento seja considerado um insumo sustentável.
The research in question aimed to demonstrate the advantages not only commercial and technical, but also environmental and occupational use of citric acid in textile dying companies, compare with acetic acid, aiming at implementing a more sustainable dyeing process, as that the requirement of regulatory agencies has grown in recent years and the search on reducing operating costs and environmental adaptations are of vital importance for the survival and perpetuation of textile dyeing companies. Comparative tests were of measurements of pH, neutralization of alkaline baths, theoretical comparison of biodegradability and damage to health and comparative practice tests against dispersants and sequestering dyeing and finally the practical results of dyeing in laboratory scale. The results demonstrated the compatibility of citric acid compare with acetic in the pH adjustment and neutralization of the alkali bath, demonstrated the ability of citric acid in the dispersing disperse dyes upper market dispersants, and higher power as compared to other complexing acids and Ladiquest 1097 and finally based on the environmental data theoretical superiority of citric acid compared to acetic acid, citric acid having a COD value of approximately 30% lower than the toxicity acetic acid and around 70% lower, and finally by the dyes could prove the efficacy of citric acid in polyester and polyamide dyeing processes with no significant change in the processes with acetic acid. The research may show that the substitution of acetic acid, in dyeing processes, the citric acid is feasible and also brings reduction in process costs in the order of 12% in the dyeing of polyester and 0.76%in the polyamide dyeing, will environmental and occupational benefits to companies that adopt this replacement, causing the citric acid in the processing firms is considered a sustainable feedstock.

La ricerca muove dalla ricognizione della complessa fenomenologia del riciclaggio e, più in generale, delle problematiche connesse alla circolazione di capitali illeciti. Si individuano anzitutto i reati maggiormente significativi quali fonti di “denaro sporco”; si indagano, quindi, le tecniche di riciclaggio e le dimensioni dell’economia illecita. Ci si interroga sulle esigenze di contrasto e sugli strumenti a tal fine più opportuni. Si ravvisa l’esigenza di una strategia che si articoli su più piani, affiancando alle fattispecie di reato ulteriori strumenti, quali un’efficace normativa preventiva e uno stringente sistema di sanzioni patrimoniali. Si passa dunque ad una valutazione della normativa vigente. Dapprima si esamina la disciplina internazionale e sovranazionale; si prendono poi a modello le opzioni normative adottate negli Stati Uniti e in Spagna. Si analizza infine nel dettaglio la legislazione italiana. Vengono espresse perplessità circa l’attuale disciplina codicistica (artt. 648-bis c.p.; 648-ter c.p.). Entrambe le norme meriterebbero una serie di riforme, così da risultare maggiormente aderenti alle esigenze di tutela delle quali devono farsi carico. Si analizza nel dettaglio la questione dell’ “auto-riciclaggio” e l’opportunità di mantenere un’esenzione di pena per l’autore del reato dal quale provengono le utilità riciclate. Si esamina la normativa cd. complementare (disciplina preventiva, sanzioni patrimoniali e responsabilità amministrativa degli enti) e se ne evidenziano punti di forza e debolezza quali strumenti di contrasto ai capitali illeciti.
Money-laundering is an extremely wide and complex phenomenon. Indeed, the first part of the work is focused on the analysis of how money is laundered: which are the most relevant predicate offenses; the techniques used to make money appear legal; the attempts to measure how much money is laundered; the impacts of money-laundering on economy. It’s clear the importance of a strong reaction against money-laundering to prevent the damages coming from it. The problem is understanding the role that criminal law has to play in such struggle. Criminalization can’t be the only solution; it’s rather prominent the use - inter alia - of preventive measures (such as reporting suspicious transactions)and seizure. The second part of the work recalls international efforts to combat money-laundering: multilateral conventions, FATF Recommendations, etc. After that, the attention is focused on American and Spanish legislation, taken as specific examples of how to criminalize money-laundering. The third part of the research concerns Italian law: the offences of money-laundering, the so called preventive law (i.e. d.lgs. 231/2007) and the law of seizure. Some proposals of review are given for each kind of section.

Nous ajoutons un groupement ch#2 sur chacune des cinq chaines carboxylates du dtpa dans le but d'ameliorer ses proprietes sequestrantes lors de la decontamination et pour la radio-immunotherapie. Des etudes chimiques en solution sont entreprises sur ce nouveau ligand nomme dtpp, lorsqu'il est: a) libre de facon a determiner les huit constantes d'acidite et les sequences de protonation de chacun des sites: 5. Co#2# et 3. N; b) chelatant avec des cations divalents(ca#2#+, cu#2#+, zn#2#+ et hg#2#+), trivalents (pr#3#+, nd#3#+, eu#3#+ et er#3#+) et quadrivalents (th#4#+, u#4#+ et pu#4#+) afin de trouver un modele d'equilibres susceptible de decrire la complexation, les constantes de formation de toutes les especes ainsi mises en evidence et leurs conformations lorsque cela est possible; c) vieux pour mieux apprehender le phenomene de degradation intervenant en fonction du temps et de la temperature. Nous pouvons alors savoir si l'utilisation du dtpp dans les deux domaines medicaux nous interessant est envisageable en fonction du comportement du ligand libre, complexe et degrade en solution

This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and fermentation characteristics of silage millet farming ADR500 under the inclusion of different levels of corn disintegrated with straw and cob (CEC): 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%, after 78 days of vegetative growth and observe his capacity as moisture scavenger in silage. The experimental design was completely randomized with 4 treatments and 4 replications, totaling 16 experimental units. Data were submitted to analysis of variance, means were compared by 5% Tukey test and regression analysis for the inclusion levels. dry matter content (DM) determined in silage differ (P <0.05) as a function of the MDPS inclusion levels, ranging from 26.53% to 38.69% control treatment and for treatment with higher level inclusion. For values of organic matter found a significant difference only from the IV treatment with 15% inclusion of CEC (P <0.05) compared to other treatments. Regarding crude protein (CP) observed a linear increase (P <0.05) due to the increase of CEC levels, ranging between 9.46% and 14.92%. NDF and the FDA determined in silages ranged from 58.50% to 66.25% and 31.25% for FDA to 38.50 for the FDA so there significant differences between treatments. For certain ether extract in silages millet forage with inclusion of MDPS ranged from 3.13 to 3.95%. The content of mineral matter (MM) showed a significant difference (P <0.05) according to the MDPS inclusion levels, ranging from 5.26 to 7.55%. The inclusion of MDPS reduced (P <0.05) losses gases and effluents in all the treatments, ranging from 6.10 to 3.48 for gas losses and 9.05 to 17.28 for losses effluent and contributed significantly in the dry matter recovery process (MS). The buffer power values (PT), pH and ammonia-N were influenced (P <0.05) by the inclusion of different levels of ground ear corn silage. The levels of acetic, propionic, butyric and lactic, so influenced by the addition of ground ear corn silage. The soluble carbohydrate values have an increasing depending on the MDPS inclusion levels, proving to be efficient in their use to improve the fermentation profile of silages.
Objetivou-se avaliar a composição químico-bromatológica e as características fermentativas da silagem de milheto forrageiro, cultivar ADR500 sob a inclusão de diferentes níveis de milho desintegrado com palha e sabugo (MDPS): 0%, 5%, 10% e 15%, aos 78 dias de crescimento vegetativo e observar sua capacidade como sequestrante de umidade na silagem.

We show that functionalized layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (LDHs) have an enormous potential to serve as effective intestinal bile acid sequestrant agent. LDHs have unique biocompatibility features, its high surface area, high adsorption force and facility to monitor size and shape are few of the positives which makes them an enormous asset for the field of medicine. LDHs have an added advantage in serving as bile acid adsorbents as they bear a net positive charge on their surface. This facilitates the easy adsorption of negative charge bearing bile acid molecules in the gut and further helps them to penetrate through the negatively charged biological membranes without a need of any additional post modification as in case of other nanoparticles, which could decrease the stability of particles. This partially exploited field has several dimensions of future scope. In vitro assay results showed that diethylenetriamine functionalized LDH’s has tremendous potential to serve as bile acid sequestrant agent. Above experimental results show functionalized LDH’s have potential to serve as effective intestinal bile acid sequestrant agent to reduce the blood cholesterol levels. We observed the nanoparticle structure destroyed in the stomach strong acid. In order to approve about this, utilizing synthesis polymer wraps diethylenetriamine functionalized LDH lozens that can increase the stability of LDH’s in acidic conditions avoiding the non-specific adsorptions in stomach. And the experiment proved the polymer wrapped LDH lozens can avoid 25% damage in acidic condition, and the polymer wrapped diethylenetriamine functionalized LDH lozens can avoid 40% damage in acidic condition. We also observed the polymer wrapped LDH lozens after dissolved in acidic condition, the polymer wrapped diethylenetriamine functionalized LDH lozens layer in four own the best absorption for bile salts. And the in vivo results confirmed that high fat diet fed mice treated with the EudraitS-100 polymer wrapped diethylenetriamine functionalized LDH lozens layer in four for fore weeks had reduced cholesterol gain by (−8.8%) (control group mice cholesterol gain by (+14.7%)).

Cardiovascular diseases, which are mostly related to high levels of low density lipoproteins (LDL), are currently one of the major causes of death. Currently, there are various polymer based drugs (hydrogels) capable of lowering the cholesterol levels in the blood, through bile acid complexation. However, all of the commercially available bile acid sequestrants have problems in terms of efficiency. Thus, in order to try to create a more effective drug, hydrogels of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and ((3- acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride) (AMPTMA) were prepared using two different polymerization methods: free radical polymerization (FRP) and supplemental activator and reducing agent atom transfer radical polymerization (SARA ATRP). It was found that the new hydrogels were able to bind the sodium cholate (NaCA) (bile acid model molecule), but showing lower binding capacity than the products of the same category that are already present on the market. The effect of the amount of HEA present on the hydrogels on the binding parameters was also investigated. Generally, the results showed that an increase on the amount of HEA lead to an decrease of the binding capacity of the new BAS. The results also showed that BAS produced using SARA ATRP techniques present a higher binding capacity than the ones produced using FRP techniques. Finally, it was observed that copolymers of PAMPTMA-co-PHEA showed no sign of degradation in solutions that mimic the stomach and intestine environment.

As doenças cardiovasculares, que na sua maioria, estão relacionadas com elevados níveis de lipoproteínas de baixa densidade (colesterol LDL), constituem atualmente uma das principais causas de morte. De momento, já existem vários fármacos baseados em polímeros (hidrogéis) capazes de diminuir os níveis de colesterol no sangue, através da complexação de ácidos biliares. Porém, todos os sequestradores de ácidos biliares(BAS) presentes no mercado apresentam problemas ao nível da eficiência. Assim, de modo a tentar criar um fármaco mais eficaz, recorreu-se à preparação de hidrogéis de acrilato de 2-hidroxietil(HEA) e cloreto de (3-acrilamidopropil)trimetil amónio (AMPTMA), usando dois métodos de polimerização distintos: polimerização radicalar livre (FRP) e polimerização radicalar por transferência de átomo com ativador suplementar e agente de redução (SARA ATRP). Verificou-se que os novos hidrogéis são capazes de se ligar ao sal de sódio do ácido cólico (NaCA) (ácido biliar modelo), mas apresentam uma capacidade de ligação inferior aos produtos da mesma categoria que já se encontram no mercado. Foi ainda investigado o efeito que a quantidade de HEA presente no hidrogel tem nos parâmetros de ligação. De um modo geral, verificou-se que a capacidade de ligação diminui com o aumento da quantidade de HEA nos BAS. Os resultados mostraram ainda que os BAS produzidos usando técnicas de SARA ATRP apresentam uma maior capacidade de ligação que os produzidos por técnicas de FRP. Finalmente, foi observado que o copolímero PAMPTMA-co-PHEA não mostrou sinais de degradação pela solução que simulou o ambiente estomacal e intestinal.

Potential applications of gas hydrates, including carbon dioxide sequestration in the deep ocean, coal bed methane–produced water treatment, storage and transportation of natural gas, and gas separations, are based on continuous, large-scale production of gas hydrates. A novel three-phase injector/reactor was developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the continuous synthesis of gas hydrates. The reactor receives water and a hydrate-forming species and rapidly forms hydrate with a residence time of a few seconds. The reactor was designed to maximize interfacial area between reactants, thus minimizing mass transfer barriers and thermal effects that negatively affect conversion of reactants into hydrate. The cohesiveness and the density of the hydrate product desired for specific applications can be controlled by slight variations in the geometry of an exchangeable internal piece of the reactor, the choice of the guest gas, and by the regulation of operating parameters such as pressure, temperature, reactant ratios, and degree of emulsification. In general, spraying one reactant into the other, within the jet-break up regime, results in the highest conversions. The reactor has been field tested for ocean carbon sequestration and in the laboratory for coal-bed methane produced-water treatment using liquid carbon dioxide. In this paper, the application of the reactor for ocean carbon sequestration will be discussed.

Deep injection of waste CO2 and fluids from regional energy plants into the St. Peter Formation of the Illinois Basin, could effectively provide long term deep geologic storage. This research aims to explore the viability of this proposed injection. There are some basic criteria that must be met to effectively store waste in a geologic reservoir. First, the reservoir must have sufficient porosity and permeability for both injectivity and for migration of the injected fluid through the reservoir. Second, the reservoir must be overlain by some form of impermeable seal or cap layer(s). Third, the reservoir should be sufficiently isolated from interaction with surface and near surface water. Finally, the formation must contain enough storage volume to handle significant amounts of injected material. Massive sandstone formations that host large saline aquifers have the potential to serve as high capacity storage sites. Much of the research targeting the potential suitability and storage capacity attributes of these formations has been promising, but reproducibility of the results has been less than ideal. Some of this variability has been attributed to petrological differences in the sandstone reservoirs that are not readily evident when studying the target formation over a geographically significant area. Based on the criteria, a promising candidate for injection and storage is the St. Peter Sandstone of the Illinois Basin. This study investigates the viability of liquefied CO2 storage within the St. Peter Sandstone on a micro scale. Initial porosity and permeability of the formation plug samples ranged from 16% to 19% and 26 to 981 millidarcies (mD), respectively. The wide difference in permeability is attributed to variations in strength of the cement, in this case quartz overgrowth in the sandstone. This preliminary evidence indicates that the storage capacity of the formation will remain constant or increase depending on injection location, suggesting that the St. Peter Formation will lend itself well to future storage.
