Ocorrência de raças de Bremia lactucae no Estado de São Paulo no triênio 2008 - 2010, e desenvolvimento de linhagens de alface crespa resistentes /Castoldi, Renata. January 2011 (has links)
Resumo: A alface é a hortaliça folhosa de maior consumo no Brasil, no entanto a dificuldade em produzi-la vem aumentando, principalmente pela infestação das áreas de produção por Bremia lactucae, sendo necessário o monitoramento anual para utilização ou desenvolvimento de cultivares resistentes. Diante do exposto, os objetivos do presente trabalho foram: identificação de raças de B. lactucae no Estado de São Paulo, durante os anos de 2008, 2009 e 2010 e obtenção de linhagens de alface crespa resistentes às raças SPBl:01, SPBl:02, SPBl:03, SPBl:04, SPBl:05, SPBl:06 e SPBl:07. Na primeira fase do estudo foram coletadas nos meses de agosto, setembro e outubro de 2008; agosto e setembro de 2009; e junho e julho de 2010 folhas de alface com esporângios de B. lactucae nos principais municípios produtores de alface do Estado de São Paulo. Após a multiplicação dos esporângios na cultivar suscetível Solaris, com posterior inoculação nas diferenciadoras, realizaram-se as avaliações, no mesmo dia do aparecimento da primeira esporulação na cultivar suscetível Cobham Green (DM 0). Na segunda fase do estudo realizou-se o cruzamento entre a cultivar Argeles e a linhagem JAB 4-13-7, bem como autofecundações, até a obtenção da geração F3, quando realizou-se o teste de resistência. Os dados permitiram concluir que: três novos códigos "Sextet" para Bremia lactucae ocorreram no Estado de São Paulo: 63/63/33/00, 63/63/02/00 e 63/31/03/00, denominados raças SPBl:05, SPBl:06 e SPBl:07, respectivamente; recomenda-se a utilização dos genes R-17, R-18 e R-38 como fontes de resistência ao míldio para o desenvolvimento de cultivares no Estado de São Paulo; e 19 progênies resistentes à B. lactucae, raças SPBl:01, SPBl:02, SPBl:03, SPBl:04, SPBl:05, SPBl:06 e SPBl:07, apresentaramse homozigotas, e podem ser avançadas e avaliadas no processo de seleção / Abstract: Lettuce is the most consumed leafy vegetable in Brazil. Its production, nonetheless, is meeting with increasing difficulties mainly due to the infestation of producing areas with Bremia lactucae. Thus, the annual monitoring of B. lactucae races becomes of essential importance to use or development of resistant cultivars. The objectives of this work were identification of new races of B. lactucae occurring during the years of 2008, 2009 and 2010 in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and development of resistant lettuce cultivars to races SPBl:01, SPBl:02, SPBl:03, SPBl:04, SPBl:05, SPBl:06 and SPBl:07. In the first phase of experiment in August, September, and October of 2008; August and September of 2009; and June and July of 2010 lettuce leaf samples containing B. lactucae sporangia were collected in some of the lettuce producing areas of the state of São Paulo. After a multiplication procedure in which the susceptible lettuce cultivar 'Solaris' was used, the B. lactucae sporangia were inoculated in differentiating lettuce cultivars. Evaluations of the plants response were performed on the same day when plants of the susceptible Cobham Green (DM 0) cultivar showed signs of the first sporulation. In the second phase of experiment made the crossing between Argeles cultivar and JAB 4-13-7 line, and self pollination, to obtain the F3 generation, when made the resistant test. The data have identified: three new codes "Sextet" in the state of São Paulo: 63/63/33/00, 63/63/02/00 e 63/31/03/00. SPBl:05, SPBl:06 and SPBl:07 were the denomination proposed to races, respectively. The genes R-17, R-18, and R-38 are suggested to be used as source of resistance in the lettuce cultivars to state of São Paulo; and 19 resistant progenies to B. lactuae, races SPBl:01, SPBl:02, SPBl:03, SPBl:04, SPBl:05, SPBl:06 and SPBl:07, shown homozygous, and they can be advanced and evaluated in the selection process / Orientadora: Leila Trevizan Braz / Coorientador: Tagli Dalpian / Coorientadora: Margarete Camargo / Banca: Pablo Forlan Vargas / Banca: Érika Auxiliadora Giacheto Scalopp / Banca: Rita de Cássia Panizzi / Banca: Joaquim Adelino de Azevedo Filho / Doutor

Expressing the multifunctional nucleoside kinase of Drosophila melanogaster in a mouse model : a strategy to reverse the depletion of mtDNA caused by nucleoside kinase deficiencyKrishnan, Shuba January 2011 (has links)
This study was initiated to investigate a possible strategy to alter an enzyme deficiency in a mouse model. The enzyme investigated is a multifunctional nucleoside kinase from Drosophila melanogaster (Dm-dNK). This enzyme has special features in that it has higher enzymatic activity than any other known nucleoside kinases and still has similar substrate specificity as the human nucleoside kinases. The deficiency where the Dm-dNK transgenic mice model will be used is a TK2 deficient model with severe phenotype caused by mitochondrial DNA depletion. The Dm-dNK transgenic mice model will be used as a way to rescue the TK2 deficient mice. The results from the present study show that Dm-dNK expression in mice results in a substantial increase of thymidine phosphorylation in several investigated tissues. The mice were otherwise normal as judged by life span, weight and behavior. The mitochondrial DNA was also detected at normal levels. In conclusion, the Dm-dNK mouse model is promising as a way to rescue the severe phenotype of the TK2 deficient mice.

Improving the Quality of Multicast Networks by Using the OPNET Modeler / Förbättra kvaliteten på Multicast-nätverk under OPNET ModelerVIENJIPURAM, KRISHNA KUMARAN, ABDUL, ASMEER BABU January 2010 (has links)
This thesis presents different Internet Protocol (IP) multicasting design models and together with their implementation methods in OPNET Modeler 14.5. The models presented in this report are designed for handling various types of advanced multimedia applications and services when using the multicast communication paradigm. The architectural models presented in this thesis are independent of the routing protocols used as well as of the underlying networking environment. Several exiting challenges related to high bandwidth requirements, low network delay, and jitter are discussed together with these design models, and are simulated using the OPNET Modeler. The emerging demands for new multicast capable applications, for both real-time and non real-time traffic are considered together in this report in order to better evaluate multicast traffic requirements. Efficient routing methods, group management policies, and shortest path algorithms are also discussed in the proposed models. The pros and cons of IP multicasting are described using the Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) method, in the highlight of the proposed design models. Several results related to link utilization, end-to-end delay, packet loss, PIM control traffic, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), and network convergence are obtained by using already available statistical methods and modules from OPNET Modeler. Our major contribution with this thesis work relates to components associated with network convergence, routing delay, and processing delay. These components are illustrated in this thesis using various OPNET metrics. Moreover, several issues related to protocol scalability, supportability, performance optimization and efficiency are also presented by using OPNET’s build in reports, i.e., executive flow and survivability analysis reports. / 0735609277

Optical Pointing System For Stratospheric Balloon-Borne Multi-Slit OSIRIS-DM2015 January 1900 (has links)
The Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imaging System (OSIRIS) satellite instrument
spearheaded by a team of researchers at the University of Saskatchewan has provided scientists
with 13 years of information about the state of the atmosphere. The success of the mission has
motivated further development of the technology in a next generation instrument called the
Canadian Atmospheric Tomography System (CATS) to provide better spatial and spectral
resolution through a successive satellite mission.
This work details the development of a proof-of-concept prototype built to test the validity of
the CATS optical design. This thesis project utilized the developmental model built for the
OSIRIS mission. The major modification made to the instrument replaced the optical element
that defines the instrument’s field of view. This new development transformed the original single
line of sight utilized by the satellite based OSIRIS instrument into three separate fields of view,
which increased the imaging capabilities of the instrument. The new system has improved spatial
resolution by collecting spectral information from three separate regions in the atmosphere in a
single exposure, as opposed to the single region imaged by the original system.
The newly developed prototype was tested on the platform of a stratospheric balloon. This test
platform offered the capabilities to make limb scattered measurements similar to those that are
made by a satellite based instrument. However, from the balloon geometry, the instrument
required an additional pointing system to redirect the line of sight over stratospheric tangent
altitudes. The design and test of this pointing system is also detailed in this work.

The Upgrade, Calibration and Evaluation of the Multi-Slit OSIRIS-DM for Stratospheric Balloon Flight2015 January 1900 (has links)
The development of remote sensing satellite-borne instrumentation for the study of the Earth’s atmosphere has provided an immense increase in our understanding of atmospheric trends and processes. The Canadian built OSIRIS satellite instrument uses the limb scatter technique to measure scattered sunlight for the retrieval of vertical profiles of atmospheric species such as ozone. Recently, the next generation instrument, CATS, based on the OSIRIS design, is under development to continue OSIRIS measurements into the future. One key optical design change for CATS is the ability to measure simultaneously over multiple fields of view. However, this new optical design concept needs to be tested and evaluated. To achieve this, a prototype slit plate was installed into the preflight developmental version of OSIRIS, called OSIRIS-DM, for testing in the laboratory and on a stratospheric balloon.
In this thesis work, an evaluation of the performance of this multi-slit instrument was undertaken through laboratory calibrations and limb scatter measurement collection. The calibration process includes a wavelength registration, a spectral point spread function analysis, a relative calibration and an absolute calibration, all performed with laboratory equipment.
Along with laboratory calibrations, this thesis work involved preparation for the stratospheric balloon mission including the development of a flight ready electronic control and communication system to operate OSIRIS-DM during the mission. The upgraded instrument was launched on September 19, 2014, and ascended to a stable float altitude of 36.5 km. The collected flight measurements were used to evaluate the calibrations and general instrument performance. Overall, the laboratory calibrations proved to be sufficiently accurate and the measurement collection produced multiple spectra that may be used for atmospheric analysis in the future. These results show that the multi-slit design of the slit plate produces an instrument that can be reliably calibrated and implemented for limb scatter measurement collection.

Expanding Data Mining Theory for Industrial ApplicationsJanuary 2012 (has links)
abstract: The field of Data Mining is widely recognized and accepted for its applications in many business problems to guide decision-making processes based on data. However, in recent times, the scope of these problems has swollen and the methods are under scrutiny for applicability and relevance to real-world circumstances. At the crossroads of innovation and standards, it is important to examine and understand whether the current theoretical methods for industrial applications (which include KDD, SEMMA and CRISP-DM) encompass all possible scenarios that could arise in practical situations. Do the methods require changes or enhancements? As part of the thesis I study the current methods and delineate the ideas of these methods and illuminate their shortcomings which posed challenges during practical implementation. Based on the experiments conducted and the research carried out, I propose an approach which illustrates the business problems with higher accuracy and provides a broader view of the process. It is then applied to different case studies highlighting the different aspects to this approach. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S. Computer Science 2012

Study of Open Mobile Alliance Device Management sessions for most effective device managementSmolarek, Tomasz January 2011 (has links)
Effective device management is not trivial due to a variety of devices and software. To keep costs to minimum companies must effectively utilize a unified solution for device management. This research investigated Funambol’s implementation of Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) which is the most popular device management solution. Interviews were used to set experiments and create realistic test cases. A set of devices and a collection of Funambol software were used to create device management sessions. All of the sessions were recorded, analysed, manipulated and resent to identify efficient ways of device management. Additionally, an influence of compression and buffer-like mechanisms were checked. Methods and guidelines are provided for efficient use of OMA DM as well as a reliable analysis of OMA DM Sessions under various conditions. It was found that for most data it is best to use a built-in transport protocol compressor. Hypertext Transfer Protocol’s (HTTP) deflate with a combination of client-side buffering-like mechanism at a client side performed best at most cases. Funambol’s implementation of the Binary Extensible Markup Language (WBXML), in most cases, performed very badly, even though it was designed specifically to compress OMA DM Session messages. It was found that for an efficient use of OMA DM a proper software option set (e.g. forced use of compression) may be sufficient.
