Full textAbstract:
Using local newspapers and tracing the origins of several stories about the development of the sobriquet “Yellow Dog,” this essay demonstrates how the heritage trail markers erected in Moorhead, Mississippi, silence the origins of the term in the suffering of African American men and women who worked in the rolling convict lease camp that built the “Yellow Dog” railroad through the Great Swamp. The marker’s text instead forwards a dubious debate over the term’s origins, excluding its true beginnings in the experiences of African Americans. The heritage trail markers at Moorhead are only one of the examples of how professional state consultants and the Delta Center for Culture and Learning promote racial division—not reconciliation—through erasure of the African American past.

Clinical History: A 2-year-old, female Poodle dog presented to the Emergency Service at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine with a history of lethargy and anorexia. At clinical examination the dog was anemic and febrile. The dog was bilaterally blind. The right eye was buphthalmic and the intraocular pressure was elevated (42 mm Hg). During an ophthalmological consult, bilateral severe panuveitis and optic neuritis with secondary glaucoma in the right eye was diagnosed and treatment was instituted. Despite treatment, the intraocular pressure kept increasing (up to 72 mm Hg overnight), and the clinicians decided to enucleate the right eye due to poor prognosis. After one month, and no response to treatment, the left eye was also enucleated. Gross Findings: Right and left eyes: The vitreous chamber was filled with a yellow, gelatinous exudate while the anterior chamber was filled with a translucent, gelatinous fluid. The retina appeared detached and embedded within the exudate present in the vitreous chamber.

Antibiotic susceptibility tests and restriction enzyme analysis (REA) of genomic DNA were performed to characterize the relationship between sources of isolates of yellow-pigmented enterococci. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted with 10 therapeutic antibiotics and 54 isolates grouped by source (wild and other) depending on their origin. In three antibiotics, cephalothin, erythromycin, and vancomycin, there was a significant (p =< 0.05) association between susceptibility and source. Vancomycin resistance was significantly (p =< 0.001) higher in isolates from wild sources compared with that in isolates from other sources. The REA technique was performed on genomic DNA obtained from 17 Enterococcus mundtii isolates from: human (3), dog (4), horse (4), Canada goose (4), domestic goose (1), and Enterococcus mundtii ATCC 43186. A total of 12 different DNA types (A-L) were identified. Except for type D, 11 DNA types were unique and were distributed among dog (A, B, and C), human (E), horse (F, G, and H), Canada goose (I, J, and K), and domestic goose (L). Results suggested that vancomycin-susceptibility testing of yellow-pigmented enterococci may have potential value in the identification of sources of faecal pollution, especially when combined with traditional quantitative methods.Key words: yellow-pigmented enterococci, faecal pollution, antibiotic susceptibility, DNA typing.

Full textAbstract:
Europe. Its distinctive black-yellow skin produces toxic alkaloids in the dorsal and parotoid skin glands. These alkaloids can cause clinical signs of intoxication and may lead to death of an animal after mucosal contact or ingestion of the fire salamander. Although there are many anecdotal reports on dog intoxication with the salamander, there are no published data available for that kind of intoxication. We assume that this is due to the fact that most dogs die after intoxication with toxic alkaloids of the fire salamander. This paper describes the clinical case of a dog which survived the intoxication after the contact with a fire salamander. Publication of this case report has a certain value to those people who deal with dogs because contacts of dogs with salamanders are not rare, but so far there is no publication in the literature on survival of a dog after biting a fire salamander.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral thesis approaches literary tourism initially from an historical perspective in order to define the phenomenon through a review of the existing academic literature in the field. The forms of literary tourism are analysed to provide a typology and from this the value of literary tourism is explained both from the visitor's point of view and the destination manager's. Current theories underpinning the existing literature on literary tourism, including Bourdieu's concept of cultural capital are reviewed. To extend the current state of research and to answer the research questions a case study of successful urban literary tourism is identified, in this case in Brittany, France. The uses of French literature in literary tourism are reviewed to provide a sound basis on which to examine French texts and tourist destinations. Novel methods of field research are developed to formalise and to make reproducible the methodology for this study and for future work drawing on, and seeking to combine both literary theory and ethnography. Following a pilot study on the French Riviera the full discovery instruments are designed and applied in fieldwork on the case destination, Concarneau, using the detective novel, The Yellow Dog, which is set in Concarneau. Analysis of the findings from this provide a new contribution to the field of literary theory, in the area of reader interpellation, and answer the research questions in the form of a new set of recommendations for DMOs and tourism stakeholders. From the empirical study that used Web 2.0 social media, only available since 2013, an analysis of which novels do stimulate literary tourism is presented for the first time. Out of the research process new methods have been evolved, and are presented in the conclusion, for the DMO to synthesise and leverage digital resources. This provides DMOs with interpretation processes for its managed heritage to use with its local stakeholders in hotels and in tourism businesses. Finally, an innovative conceptualisation of what constitutes tourism knowledge is proposed.

During the year 1998-1999 samples of seawater were collected fortnightly except during the spring bloom in 1999 when samples were collected on a daily basis from the Menai Strait North Wales, U. K. Seasonal cycles of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrogen (DON), yellow substance (YS), particulate organic carbon (POC), nitrogen (PON), and primary productivity were followed. Furthermore Chlorophyll a concentrations and counts of bacterial abundance and phytoplankton species were made along with measurement of physical and chemical parameters. The phytoplankton species succession followed more or less similar pattern to previous studies in the region but with minor differences such as the occurrence of Leptocylindrus sp. blooms during summer in both years. Significant correlations were found between DOC and POC as well as DON and PON. YS was significantly correlated with DOC but not with salinity showing less evidence of riverine and runoff contribution. There was proportionality between the intensities of chlorophyll a and the subsequent DOC peaks and the time lag between primary production and increase in bacterial abundance, showing that a major part of the DOM in the Menai Strait is produced through degradation of particulate organic matter.

Full textAbstract:
The papers in this thesis represent a series of attempts — empirical and theoretical — to integrate developmental biology with population level studies of variation; to initiate a "developmental population biology" which would complement the well established fields of population ecology and population genetics. The introductory chapter traces the development of the conceptual ideas from the context of the maturation of a single research group.
There follow three empirical chapters based on population studies of yellow cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis). The first of these chapters examines the interdependency of progeny growth variation on parentage and stand structure and argues that parentage, developmental history and environmental contingencies can interact in complex ways to structure the variation observed in natural stands. The second chapter examines time related changes in patterns of variation for mainstem growth and needle initiation data of seedlings, and finds that the majority of the increase in variation with time results from differentiation among individual seedlings. The third chapter examines the nature of intra-individual variation in needle (from seedlings) and scale (from mature trees) data from the perspective of the concept of morphological integration, the amount and structure of covariation within an individual. The results of this chapter demonstrate that the nature of morphological integration changes during the course of development, and that variation in morphological integration — that is the pattern of variable relationships or covariance structure — distinguishes individuals.
The final chapter is more theoretically oriented, and demonstrates how the patterns of increasing variation with time, and changing covariation with development (Chapters 2, 3) may be unified and explained in the context of developmental trajectories, where such trajectories represent the development of the form of individual organs through time in terms of point trajectories through a multivariate space. The nature of such developmental trajectories is ultimately a manifestation of cell division and elongation in various planes, resulting in the external form of the organs. Three increasingly complex graphical models of developmental trajectories are presented and it is argued that when developmental trajectories diverge from each other in a nonlinear manner, changes can occur in both correlation and covariance structures, coincident with changes in size. The relation between developmental trajectories and the production of variation within populations is further elaborated from the context of dynamical systems theory.Science, Faculty of

A despeito da importância comercial da cultura do maracujá-amarelo para o Brasil, estudos genéticos e de melhoramento são bastante escassos. Neste trabalho, foi conduzido um experimento visando construir mapas de ligação e mapear QTL para caracteres relacionados à produção e qualidade de frutos. Foi utilizada uma população composta por 160 indivíduos, proveniente do cruzamento de duas plantas dos acessos IAPAR-06 e IAPAR-123. Devido à alogamia da espécie, optou-se pela abordagem de mapeamento conhecida por pseudocruzamento teste para a construção de dois mapas de ligação, sendo um para cada genitor, utilizando marcadores moleculares do tipo AFLP, com segregação 1:1 e 3:1. No mapa do acesso IAPAR-06 foram obtidos 10 grupos de ligação, enquanto que no mapa do IAPAR-123, nove grupos foram obtidos. Os locos bi-parentais foram alocados como marcas acessórias nos mapas de ligação e serviram para o estabelecimento da homologia entre os grupos de ligação de cada genitor. Um total de oito grupos de ligação foi alinhado com base nesses locos. Em paralelo, procedeu-se a avaliação fenotípica de 100 indivíduos dessa mesma população, os quais foram avaliados em campo, na primeira safra de produção da cultura, para uma série de caracteres, quais sejam: velocidade de crescimento; produção total; número total de frutos; peso médio de frutos; comprimento e largura média de frutos; porcentagem de polpa; teor de sólidos solúveis totais; e formato médio de frutos. As análises genético-estatísticas dos dados fenotípicos indicaram que a população é amplamente variável para os caracteres avaliados, com exceção da velocidade de crescimento, apresentando coeficientes de herdabilidade entre médias que variaram de 52,6 a 83,0%. O mapeamento de QTL, utilizando o método de mapeamento por intervalo composto, identificou várias regiões associadas ao controle desses caracteres nos mapas individuais. Foram mapeados QTL para todos os caracteres que apresentaram variabilidade genética na população. A proporção da variação fenotípica explicada pelos QTL detectados variou de 4,6 até 21,8%.Although the yellow passion-fruit plays an important commercial role in Brazil, breeding and genetics studies are insipient. The present study was conducted aiming the construction of linkage maps and mapping of QTL for traits related to yield and fruit quality. It was used a population, composed of 160 individuals, derived from a cross from two plants of the IAPAR-06 and IAPAR-123 accessions. Since this is an allogamous species, the pseudo testcross mapping strategy was used for the construction of two linkage maps, one for each parent, using AFLP markers segregating in 1:1 and 3:1 configuration. The IAPAR-06 map was composed of 10 linkage groups, while in IAPAR-123 map, nine linkage groups were obtained. The bi-parental loci were located as accessory markers and served to establish the homology between the groups of each parent. Eight linkage groups were aligned using these markers. For the phenotypic evaluation, 100 individuals were evaluated in the field, during the first harvest of the culture, for various traits, including: growth increment, total yield, total number of fruits, average fruit weight, average fruit length, average fruit width, percentage of pulp, soluble solids content and fruit shape. The results of the phenotypic data indicated that the population had a wide genetic variance for all the traits, with the exception of growth increment, presenting broad-sense heritability varying from 52.6% to 83.0%. The analysis of QTL, using the composite interval method, has mapped various regions associated with the traits evaluated in both maps. It was mapped QTL for all the traits that exhibited genetic variation. The proportion of the phenotypic variation explained by the QTL identified ranged from 4.6 to 21.8%.

This work aimed to study the effects of five layers of irrigation and five doses of potassium â applied through fertirrigation â on productivity and on quality of yellow passion fruits, in order to provide a proper crop management. The experiments were conducted on Embrapa Meio-Norte experimental field, in the municipality of Alvorada do Gurgueia, PI, Brazil, from March 2004 through April 2006. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with design in split-plots, with four replications. The treatments consisted of five doses of potassium (0,000; 0,225; 0,450; 0,650; 0,900 kg of K2O plant-1) and five irrigation layers (30; 60; 90; 120 and 150% of ECA). The plants were spaced by 2.5m x 4.0m. The results show that productivity and mean weight of fruits were significantly affected by irrigation layers, doses of potassium, as well as by the interaction term between the two factors; as for the number of fruits per hectare was significantly affected only by doses of potassium. Regarding the physical characteristics of the fruits, the longitudinal diameter and the juice production were significantly affected by number of layers, doses of potassium, and by the interaction term. The thickness of the rind was affected only by doses of potassium. As for the chemical characteristics of the fruits, only the level of total soluble solids was significantly affected by number of layers, doses, and by the interaction term; tritable total acidity (ATT) was affected only by doses of potassium; and pH was affected by none of the factors considered in this study. Among all treatment combinations, L4K4 yielded the highest fruit productivity, number, and mean weight. The levels of total soluble solids decreased with the increase layers applied, and the total acidity increased linearly with the increase of doses of potassium.
O trabalho teve como objetivo estudar o efeito de cinco lÃminas de irrigaÃÃo e cinco doses de potÃssio, aplicados via fertirrigaÃÃo, na produtividade e nas qualidades dos frutos do maracujazeiro amarelo, para posteriormente definir um manejo adequado da cultura. O experimento foi realizado no campo experimental da Embrapa Meio-Norte, no municÃpio de Alvorada do GurguÃia-PI, no perÃodo de marÃo de 2004 a abril de 2006, sendo que o delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com arranjo em parcelas subdivididas, com quatro repetiÃÃes. Os tratamentos foram compostos por cinco doses de potÃssio (0,000; 0,225; 0,450; 0,650; 0,900 kg de K2O planta-1) e cinco lÃminas de irrigaÃÃo (30; 60; 90; 120 e 150% da ECA). As plantas foram espaÃadas de 2,5 x 4,0 m. Verificou-se que a produtividade e o peso mÃdio dos frutos foram influenciados significativamente pelas lÃminas de irrigaÃÃo, pelas doses de potÃssio e pela interaÃÃo entre os fatores; jà o nÃmero de frutos por hectare somente foi influenciado significativamente pelas doses de potÃssio. Para as caracterÃsticas fÃsicas dos frutos, somente o diÃmetro longitudinal e o rendimento do suco sofreram influÃncia significativa da lÃmina, das doses de potÃssio e da interaÃÃo entre os fatores. A espessura da casca sà foi influenciada pelas doses de potÃssio. Nas caracterÃsticas quÃmicas dos frutos observou-se que, somente o teor de sÃlidos solÃveis totais sofreu influÃncia das lÃminas, das doses de potÃssio e da interaÃÃo entre os dois fatores; a acidez total titulÃvel foi influenciada apenas pelas doses de potÃssio e o pH, nÃo foi influenciado por nenhum dos fatores estudados. A combinaÃÃo dos tratamentos L4K4 foi a que proporcionou maior produtividade, nÃmero e peso mÃdio dos frutos. Os teores de sÃlidos solÃveis totais diminuÃram com o aumento da lÃmina aplicada e a acidez total titulÃvel cresceu linearmente com as doses de potÃssio.

Pollination is an effective ecosystem service, responsible for increasing the quantity and quality of fruits and seeds formed. Due to the self-incompatibility of some species of agricultural interest, cross-pollination is required and the limiting of pollinating species such affects its production. The yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa.), a selfincompatible specie is dependent on cross-pollination to form fruit. Thus, the general aim of this study was to study the biology of pollination and reproduction in P. edulis f. flavicarpa, emphasizing the efficacy of pollinators for this specie. The specific aims were: 1) to evaluate the richness, visitation frequency and the behavior of visitors in Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa flowers.; 2) to compare the efficacy in the formation of fruits and seeds of P. edulis f. flavicarpa through individual and two visits by Xylocopa frontalis with manual crosspollination and natural pollination and 3) assess whether there is pollen limitation through comparison between natural and manual cross-pollination. Visitors were observed during the flowering period, from January to April 2015, totaling 106 hours of observations. For fruiting testing and seed counts: 1) manual cross pollination (n = 37 flowers); 2) natural pollination (n = 52 flowers); 3) pollination by single visit of X. frontalis (n = 41 flowers) and 4) pollination by two visits of X. frontalis. Were identified bee species of Apis, Bombus, Centris, Epicharis, Eulaema, Melipona, Oxaea, Trigona and Xylocopa genera, Apidae, being also observed an individual belonging to Halictidae family. Insects belonging to other orders were also observed, including different species of butterflies (Lepidoptera), bugs (Hemiptera), flies (Diptera), beetles (Coleoptera) and the presence of family Trochilidae hummingbirds. The specie A. mellifera (thief behavior) and X. frontalis (predominantly pollinator behavior) were the most frequent in the plantation with 58.11% and 30.20% respectively of occurrence. Regarding pollination tests, we observed the formation of fruits in all the treatments. Flowers of manual cross-pollination obtained the highest fruiting rate when compared to other treatments. The fruiting rate through manual cross-pollination was significantly higher than that obtained in natural conditions (X2 = 12.676; degree of freedom = 1; p <0.05) indicating that there is pollen limitation in natural pollination. Regarding the number of seeds, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated no significant difference between the mean number of seeds produced in different reviews pollination. Conclude that there is richness of floral visitors specie in the study area, and that between them, the main pollinator species are those with larger, mainly bees belonging to the genus Xylocopa. Larger fruiting rates obtained by manual cross-pollination treatment suggest that more than one visit is needed to promote greater production rate in passion fruit crops.
A polinização é um serviço ecossistêmico, responsável por aumentar a quantidade e a qualidade dos frutos e sementes formados. Devido à autoincompatibilidade de algumas espécies de interesse agrícola, a polinização cruzada torna-se necessária e a limitação de polinizadores nessas espécies afeta a sua produção. O maracujá-amarelo (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Deg.), por ser uma espécie autoincompatível, é dependente da polinização cruzada para a formação de seus frutos. Dessa forma, o objetivo geral desse estudo foi estudar a biologia da polinização e a reprodução de P. edulis f. flavicarpa, enfatizando a eficácia do principal polinizador dessa espécie. Os objetivos específicos foram: 1) avaliar a riqueza, frequência de visitas e o comportamento dos visitantes em flores de Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Deg.; 2) comparar a eficácia na formação de frutos e sementes em P. edulis f. flavicarpa por meio de visitas individuais e duas visitas de Xylocopa frontalis com a polinização cruzada manual e a polinização natural e 3) avaliar se há limitação polínica por meio da comparação entre a polinização cruzada manual e a polinização natural. Os visitantes florais foram observados durante o período de floração, de janeiro a abril de 2015, totalizando 106 horas de observações. Para avaliar a eficácia da polinização e a limitação polínica foram realizados quatro tratamentos distintos de polinização: 1) Polinização cruzada manual (n=37 flores); 2) Polinização natural (n=52 flores); 3) Uma visita de X. frontalis (n=41 flores) e 4) Duas visitas de X. frontalis (n=31 flores). Para cada tratamento foi avaliado a formação de frutos e a produção de sementes. Foram identificadas espécies de abelhas dos gêneros Apis, Bombus, Centris, Epicharis, Eulaema, Melipona, Oxaea, Trigona e Xylocopa (Apidae), sendo também observado um indivíduo pertencente a família Halictidae. Insetos pertencentes a outras ordens também foram observados, entre eles, diferentes espécies de borboletas (Lepidoptera), percevejos (Hemiptera), moscas (Diptera), besouros (Coleoptera) e a presença de beija-flores da família Trochilidae. As espécies A. mellifera (comportamento pilhador) e X. frontalis (comportamento predominantemente polinizador) foram as mais frequentes na plantação com 58,11% e 30,20% das visitas respectivamente. Em relação aos tratamentos de polinização, verificamos que houve formação de frutos em todos os tratamentos realizados. Flores de polinização cruzada manual obtiverem a maior taxa de frutificação quando comparada aos demais tratamentos. A taxa de frutificação por meio da polinização cruzada manual foi significativamente maior que a obtida em condições naturais (X2 = 12,676; grau de liberdade = 1; p<0,05) indicando que há limitação polínica na polinização natural. Em relação à quantidade de sementes, a análise de variância (ANOVA) não indicou diferença significativa entre as médias do número de sementes produzidas nos diferentes tratamentos. Concluímos que há riqueza de espécies visitantes florais na área estudada, e que entre elas, as principais espécies polinizadoras são aqueles que possuem maior tamanho, principalmente as abelhas do gênero Xylocopa. Maiores taxas de frutificação obtidas por meio do tratamento de polinização cruzada manual sugerem que mais de uma visita é necessária para aumentar a produtividade.

The antioxidants, particularly those found in the diet, are responsible for inhibiting and reducing the damage caused by reactive species in the cells. Cisplatin (cDDP), a potent anticancer agent often used in the treatment of solid tumors, has limited clinical use due to adverse effects such as nephrotoxicity, genotoxicity and myelosuppression. As the generation of reactive species can result in DNA damage by direct action of this or indirectly by degradation products of the lipid peroxidation, our study evaluated the potential protector of adding yellow passion fruit pulp to the diet of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive wistar rats, against the nephrotoxicity and genotoxicity induced by cDDP. The results showed that the cDDP promoted an increase in the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and a decrease in the levels of glutathione in the kidneys of the animals, reinforcing the hypothesis that lipid peroxidation be related to the mechanism of nephrotoxicity. The treatment with multiple doses of passion fruit pulp did not change the others parameters of renal function in the schedule. Although the protective effect of passion fruit pulp against the damage caused to the DNA of kidney and hepatic cells has not been evident in the results obtained by Comet assay, the pulp was effective in the reduction of micronuclei induced by cDDP. One of the hypotheses for the reduction in systolic blood pressure observed in the present study attributed this effect to the presence of some phenolic compounds and others not yet identified in the passion fruit pulp. Furthermore, the interaction between the phytochemicals of the pulp demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the mutagenic and antioxidant effects.

As sementes de maracujá-amarelo perdem rapidamente o poder germinativo quando são arbitrariamente armazenadas; assim, buscando embasamento para a definição de alternativas tecnológicas voltadas à desaceleração da deterioração durante o armazenamento, o objetivo da pesquisa foi o de estudar, através de variações no teor de água das sementes e na temperatura do ambiente, o comportamento fisiológico de sementes de maracujazeiro. A experimentação, realizada entre julho de 2002 e agosto de 2003 no Laboratório de Análise de Sementes localizado na Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz/ USP, foi conduzida com sementes de maracujá-amarelo (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg.) produzidas em Mogi Mirim/ SP a partir de polinização aleatória entre plantas da Série IAC 270. Após a retirada da mucilagem das sementes, foi determinado o grau de umidade inicial do lote e, paralelamente, obtida a amostra representante do tratamento com o maior teor de água estudado (31%); as sementes remanescentes foram submetidas à secagem, em estufa com circulação de ar a 30°C ± 3°C, para a obtenção dos demais tratamentos referentes aos teores de água desejados (27%, 21%, 17%, 11% e 7%). Posteriormente, os tratamentos, correspondentes aos diferentes graus de umidade, foram armazenados em câmaras com temperaturas controladas de 10°C, 15°C e 20°C. Antes do armazenamento, e após 35, 70, 105, 140, 175, 210, 245, 280, 315 e 350 dias, as sementes foram submetidas às avaliações da qualidade. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, a combinação do grau de umidade de 7% com a temperatura de 10°C supera as demais no favorecimento à manutenção do potencial fisiológico das sementes de Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg.Yellow passion fruit seeds quickly lose the germination capacity when erratically stored; thus, seeding grounds to define technological alternatives to delay deterioration during storage, the goal of this research was to study the physiological behavior of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg.) seeds through varied seed water content and environmental temperature. The experiment was conducted at the Seed Analysis Laboratory of the Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz - USP, from July 2002 through August 2003, with yellow passion fruit seeds produced in Mogi Mirim/ SP, through random pollination among IAC 270 Series plants. Following seed mucilage removal, the initial moisture degree of the lot was determined and the representative sample of the treatment with the highest water content studied (31%) was obtained concurrently; the remaining seeds were dried in na air-circulating oven at 30°C ± 3°C to achieve other treatments regarding the intended water contents (27%, 21%, 17%, 11% and 7%). Further, the treatments - corresponding to different moisture levels - were stored in controlled-temperature chambers at 10°C, 15°C and 20°C. Previous to storage and 35, 70, 105, 140, 175, 210, 245, 280, 315 and 350 days later, the seeds were submited to quality assays. The results indicate that the combination between 7% moisture degree and 10°C temperature overcomes the remaining ones towards favoring the maintenance of the physiological potential of Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg. seeds.

Full textAbstract:
O maracujá-amarelo é uma espécie alógama, auto-incompatível, o que prejudica a geração de linhagens endogâmicas e, por conseqüência, a construção e integração de mapas de ligação pelas metodologias convencionais. A exemplo do que tem sido feito em outras espécies vegetais, populações F1 (com diferentes tipos de segregação) foram utilizadas para a construção dos mapas genéticos de maracujá. Mapas individuais para cada genitor do cruzamento foram gerados fazendo uso apenas de marcas com segregação 1:1. A integração desses mapas é possível com base em marcadores bi-parentais, quando ambos os genitores são heterozigóticos para os mesmos alelos que segregam na proporção 3:1 em F1. Apesar disso, o uso de marcadores codominantes e multialélicos, como os microssatélites, possuem maior valor, uma vez que permite a obtenção de estimativas de freqüência de recombinação e da fase de ligação com um menor viés. O objetivo deste estudo foi o desenvolvimento de marcadores microssatélites utilizando bibliotecas genômicas enriquecidas, visando à construção e a integração de mapas genéticos de maracujáamarelo. Foram usadas 160 plantas oriundas do cruzamento entre os acessos IAPAR-123 x IAPAR-06, marcadores AFLP com segregação 1:1 e 3:1 e marcadores microssatélites desenvolvidos no presente estudo. Para a construção dos mapas utilizou-se um algoritmo que estima, simultaneamente, a fase de ligação e a freqüência de recombinação. A biblioteca genômica enriquecida forneceu 107 clones contendo microssatélites, com uma eficiência de enriquecimento da ordem de 11%. Todas as seqüências contendo microssatélites foram analisadas e 26 locos mostraram-se polimórficos: 16 deles segregaram na proporção de 1:1; 1 na proporção de 3:1; 2 na proporção de 1:2:1 e 7 na proporção de 1:1:1:1. Com relação aos dados de AFLP, 253 locos mono-parentais (em 114 deles, o alelo dominante estava presente no genitor 06 e 139, no genitor 123) mostraram-se polimórficos com segregação 1:1. Outros 116 locos mostraram-se bi-parentais, segregando na proporção de 3:1. Foram obtidos 11 grupos de ligação (GL) sendo 8 grupos integrados e um GL com apenas dois marcadores. Também, um GL para cada genitor foi obtido, cuja integração não foi possível por falta de marcadores bi-parentais. Foi possível alocar no framework dos mapas genéticos, além dos microssatélites, as marcas de AFLP com segregação do tipo 3:1, que contribuíram para uma maior saturação e integração de oito dos nove grupos de ligação de maracujá-amarelo (2n = 18). Foram obtidos, em média, 25 marcadores por GL, que forneceram um comprimento de mapa de 1.765,6 cM. Este é o primeiro relato em Passiflora sobre o uso de marcadores microssatélites e do algoritmo proposto por Wu et al. (2002) visando à integração dos mapas anteriormente construídos com base na estratégia duplo pseudocruzamento teste. Este mapa integrado será útil na alocação de QTL (Quantitative Trai Loci) relacionados à resistência a doenças e a características de interesse agronômico, assim como para estudos genéticos e evolutivos.The yellow passion fruit is an out-breeding, self-incompatible species, but those features impose severe constraints on the generation of inbred lines, consequently impairing the building and integration of linkage maps using conventional methodologies. Similar to the reports from other plant species, F1 populations (with distinct segregation modes) were used to build passion fruit genetic maps. Individual maps, one for each parent involved in the cross were generated solely employing genetic markers with 1:1 segregation. However, the integration of those maps is feasible using bi-parental markers, i.e. when both parents are heterozygous for the same alleles that show 3:1 segregation in F1. However, the use of co-dominant multi-allele markers, such as the microsatellites is even more important, since it allows recombination frequency and linkage phase estimates to be obtained less effected by bias. The goal of this research was the development of microsatellite markers using enriched genomic libraries for constructing and integrating genetic maps of yellow passion fruit. We have used 160 plants from a cross between the accessions IAPAR-123 x IAPAR-06, AFLP markers showing 1:1 and 3:1 segregations and microsatellite markers developed in the present work. The maps were built employing an algorithm that simultaneously estimates the linkage phase and the recombination frequency. The enriched library allowed us to obtain 107 microsatellite-containing clones, at an enrichment efficiency of 11%. All microsatellite-containing sequences were analyzed and 26 loci were shown to be polymorphic: 16 of them with a 1:1 segregation; 1 with a 3:1 segregation, 2 showing a 1:2:1 proportion and 7 with a 1:1:1:1 segregation pattern. In relation to the AFLP data, 253 mono-parental loci were shown to be polymorphic with a 1:1 segregation proportion (in 114 loci the dominant allele was present in the parent 06, and in 139 loci, the dominant allele was found in the parent 123). The remaining 116 loci were shown to be bi-parental, segregating in a 3:1 proportion. Eleven linkage groups (LG) were obtained, 8 of them being integrated and one LG with only two markers. Moreover, one LG for each parent was obtained, but due to the absence of bi-parental markers they were not integrated. It was possible to locate on the framework of the genetic maps, along with the microsatellites those AFLP markers showing a 3:1-segregation type, which contributed to a greater level of map saturation and to the integration of eight of the nine linkage groups of yellow passion fruit (2n=18). On average, we have obtained 25 markers per LG, providing a map distance of 1,765.6 cM. This is the first report in Passiflora on the use of microsatellite markers and the algorithm proposed by Wu et al. (2002) to integrate maps previously constructed using the double pseudo-testcross strategy. The integrated map will be useful for locating QTL (Quantitative Trai Loci) related to disease resistance and agriculturally interesting traits, as well as to provide tools for genetic and evolutionary studies.

Novel technologies have always been an indispensable part of the scientific enterprise and a catalyst for new discoveries. The invisible radiation patterns of objects are converted into visible images called thermograms or thermal images. Thermal images can be utilized to estimate the ripeness of some fruits which do not change their color from yellow to green when they are ripe. Thermal imaging techniques are very helpful since color and fluorescent analytical approaches cannot be applied to these fruits. In this work, it is shown that different ripeness levels of avocado (Hall type) using a non-destructive method called thermal imaging, in two dimensional spaces. The work is based on the fact that fruits have different specific heat capacities at different temperatures, thus making their thermal images clear indicators of ripeness.

Full textAbstract:
The detection of Aedes aegypti mosquito is essential in the prevention process of serious diseases such as dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus. Common approaches consist of surveillance agents who need to enter residences to find and eliminate these outbreaks, but often they are unable to do this work due to the absence or resistance of the resident. This paper proposes an automatic system that uses aerial images obtained through a camera coupled from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to identify rain gutters from a shed that may be mosquitoes’ foci. We use Digital Image Processing (DIP) techniques to differentiate the objects that may or may not be those foci of the mosquito-breeding. The experimental results show that the system is capable of automatically detecting the appropriately mosquito-breeding location.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Department of Defense (DoD) uses the principles of risk assessment extensively throughout the acquisition process to identify, manage, and mitigate risk in many areas including software (both simulation software and software embedded in materiel systems). The approach to assessing the risks associated with using results from Models and Simulations (M&S) to influence decision-making that is described here is used by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) 5.4H Verification, Validation, and Accreditation office. The focus of the risk assessment is on ten specific characteristics of M&S Capability, Accuracy, and Usability that have the most potential impact on the intended uses. In this method, the characteristics of the M&S are evaluated against standard criteria, and then assigned a color-rating of Green, Yellow, or Red based on the actual data obtained from the M&S itself. A simple computation is then used to weigh the ratings of the characteristics into the likelihood of error aspect of the risk of using the M&S. A thorough understanding of the M&S and its application is a prerequisite to using this approach since the analyst is required to provide a technical justification for the rating assigned to a characteristic. Should the assigned rating for a characteristic of the M&S not be green, the analyst is required to recommend actions and/or mitigations for the M&S developer to take that would improve the rating to green.

Full textAbstract:
The 670-km gas pipeline crossing the Amazon Forest to connect the production field in Urucu to Manaus, the main city of Brazil’s North region, presents many challenges for operation and maintenance. The difficulties of accessing remote areas in the forest, seasonal flooding and lack of infrastructure result in complex and expensive logistics. Many intermediate installations of the pipeline can only be accessed by helicopter. This highly complex operational scenario has been chosen as the prototype for a broader management program which aims to eliminate risks of failures that can impact natural gas delivery. The main principle behind this program is focus on the critical equipment and prioritization of better maintenance for that equipment. The program combines concepts of asset management, reliability centered maintenance (RCM), and Lean Six Sigma. A well-designed asset management program, supported by remote monitoring of instrumentation, allows better control and management of the critical equipment, meaning faster maintenance response and less transport of spare parts. RCM provides a suitable mechanism to define the critical equipment and Lean Six Sigma simplifies both operational and maintenance processes by reducing the activities that do not add value while working to prevent risks of failures of critical equipment. An interactive computational system has been developed to disseminate and facilitate the use the Six Sigma quality tools. In addition, the program coordinators have already been trained in the Six Sigma Green Belt module and the technical staff will be trained in the Yellow Belt module. As a result of the initial stages of implementing the program, the number of execution standards for operation and maintenance has been reduced from 35 to 8, with an increase in productivity. For the next stages of the program, further productivity improvements are expected, along with more efficient control of critical processing and transport equipment, to minimize or promptly mitigate the effects of failures that can prevent delivery of natural gas.

Resumen: El arquitecto español Rafael Leoz de la Fuente (1921-1976) antes de terminar sus estudios en 1955, comenzó a colaborar con otros compañeros en la realización de proyectos de vivienda social. Su experiencia en la obra del Poblado Dirigido de Orcasitas, le llevó a iniciar un proceso investigador al que dedicó gran parte de su trabajo. Los trabajos teóricos del arquitecto tuvieron una importante difusión y repercusión internacional, en gran parte, fruto de su amistad con Jean Prouvé y Le Corbusier. La sintonía personal y coincidencia de intereses entre ellos llevaron a éste último a proponer a Rafael Leoz como miembro del Cercle d'Études Architecturales de París en 1962. Dentro de su ambicioso proyecto de investigación teórica Rafael Leoz estableció dos objetivos consecutivos, por una parte la ordenación abstracta del espacio, para posteriormente organizar y construir el espacio concreto en que habitan las personas. A partir de las publicaciones de Rafael Leoz y documentación original de su archivo, se intentará precisar las relaciones personales y profesionales entre Le Corbusier y Rafael Leoz. Así mismo se mostrarán los vínculos entre El Modulor de Le Corbusier y las investigaciones de Rafael Leoz, sus propuestas modulares y dimensionales a partir de la Serie Amarilla como complemento y consecuencia de las series Roja y Azul del Modulor, llegando hasta el desarrollo de organizaciones de vivienda social. Abstract: The Spanish architect Rafael Leoz de la Fuente (1921-1976) before finishing his studies in 1955, began to collaborate with other partners in the realization of social housing projects. His experience in the work of the Poblado Dirigido de Orcasitas, led him to initiate a research process to which he dedicated much of his work. The theoretical works of the architect had an important dissemination and international impact, to a large extent, due to his friendship with Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé. Personal tuning and coincidence of interests between them, led Le Corbusier to propose to Rafael Leoz as a member of the Cercle d'Études Architecturales in Paris in 1962. Within this ambitious project of theoretical research Rafael Leoz established two consecutive goals, on one hand, the abstract spatial planning, to later organize and build a specific space in which people dwell. From publications of Rafael Leoz and original documentation of his files, this paper tries to clarify personal and professional relationships between Le Corbusier and Rafael Leoz. Also pretends to establish some links between the Modulor of Le Corbusier and Rafael Leoz investigations. Moreover it will show Leoz’s modular and dimensional proposals from the Yellow Series both as a complement and a result of the Red and Blue series of the Modulor, reaching the development of organizations of social housing.
