This research is concerned with the flight dynamic, pitch flight control and flying qualities assessment for the reference BWB aircraft. It aims to develop the longitudinal control laws which could satisfy the flying and handing qualities over the whole flight envelope with added consideration of centre of gravity (CG) variation. In order to achieve this goal, both the longitudinal stability augmentation system (SAS) and autopilot control laws are studied in this thesis. Using the pole placement method, two sets of local Linear-Time-Invariant (LTI) SAS controllers are designed from the viewpoints of flying and handing qualities assessment and wind disturbance checking. The global gain schedule is developed with the scheduling variable of dynamic pressure to transfer gains smoothly between these two trim points. In addition, the poles movement of short period mode with the varying CG position are analysed, and some approaches of control system design to address the problem of reduced stability induced by CG variation are discussed as well. To achieve the command control for the aircraft, outer loop autopilot both pitch attitude hold and altitude hold are implemented by using the root locus method. By the existing criteria in MIL-F-8785C specifications being employed to assess the augmented aircraft response, the SAS linear controller with automatic changing gains effectively improve the stability characteristic for the reference BWB aircraft over the whole envelope. Hence, the augmented aircraft equals to a good characteristic controlled object for the outer loop or command path design, which guarantee the satisfactory performance of command control for the BWB aircraft. The flight control law for the longitudinal was completed with the SAS controller and autopilot design. In particular, the SAS was achieved with Level 1 flying and handing qualities, meanwhile the autopilot system was applied to obtain a satisfactory pitch attitude and altitude tracking performance.

Mozambique has potential to boost its banana exports. To fully realise this, agronomic practices in production should be fully developed to combat physiological disorders associated with banana within the region. Currently, lower temperatures are being experienced in some production sites, consequently affecting yield and quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate use of bunch protection covers on banana cultivars Grand Nain and Williams banana cultivars, for performance under different fruit protection materials to determine best fruit protection bag suitable for Metocheria, Nampula. Plants were not selected near plantation borders, drainage canals, cable way and roads, as this would influence the growth pattern of plants and fruit development. Treatments consisted of control (no bag on bunches), white perforated polyethylene, white non-perforated polyethylene, blue perforated polyethylene, blue non perforated polyethylene, green perforated polyethylene, green polyethylene non perforated and cheese cloth bags arranged in a complete randomised block designed CRBD with 26 plants replicated eight times. During 2012/2013, bagging treatments did not considerably improve weight in hands, banana finger weight, total fruit weight, marketable weight and percentage marketable fruit weight and box stem ratio (BSR) of Grand Nain. However there was reduction of fruit defects in all bagging treatments compared to control (no bags). In Williams during the 2013 season bagging treatments improved weight but no significant differences were observed on weight of hands in 2012. Bagging of banana bunches reduce defects in both seasons. Both green and blue perforated bags improved box stem ratio. Bagging treatments increased Williams‟s cultivar yield (per ton) in both seasons / Agriculture and  Animal Health / M. Sc. (Agriculture)

Influências de secreções endógenas e estímulos ambientais durante o período neonatal parecem ser determinantes para programar a atividade neuroendócrina e comportamental na vida adulta. O propósito do presente trabalho foi estudar a interação entre os hormônios gonadais e a manipulação durante o período neonatal sobre a concentração plasmática de corticosterona, gonadotrofinas (hormônios luteinizante e folículo estimulante), e hormônios gonadais (estradiol, progesterona e testosterona) em ratos adultos machos e fêmeas. Para alguns grupos experimentais, filhotes de ratos Wistar foram gonadectomizados, ou submetidos à cirurgia fictícia, antes de 6 horas após o nascimento, ou foram mantidos sem cirurgia. Metade destes animais foram estimulados diariamente, ou foram mantidos sem a manipulação neonatal, durante os primeiros 10 dias de vida. Para outros grupos experimentais, machos foram manipulados diariamente durante o período dos 10 primeiros e gonadectomizados aos 80 dias de vida. Somente a manipulação neonatal não provocou diferenças na concentração plasmática de corticosterona e gonadotrofinas, tanto em machos quanto em fêmeas, mas reduziu a secreção de hormônios gonadais em fêmeas. Enquanto a manipulação em fêmeas gonadectomizadas logo após o nascimento induziu um menor aumento na resposta de corticosterona comparada com às fêmeas não-manipuladas, em machos, a ausência de hormônios gonadais aboliu a redução da resposta ao estresse induzida pela gonadectomia neonatal no grupo não-manipulado. A manipulação aumentou a responsividade do feedback negativo para as gonadotrofinas em machos e fêmeas gonadectomizados no período neonatal. Mas a gonadectomia na idade adulta, em ratos machos manipulados no período neonatal induziu a um menor aumento no LH, comparado aos machos não-manipulados. Deve-se considerar que a castração realizada logo após o nascimento provoca a ausência dos hormônios gonadais durante todo o restante da vida do animal. Em fêmeas, a estimulação ambiental atuou sobre um sistema que não estava sob a influência dos hormônios gonadais. Mas em machos, além dos efeitos pré-natais dos esteróides gonadais, uma interação entre a estimulação neonatal e os efeitos destes hormônios durante o período neonatal provavelmente ocorreu. A estimulação ambiental durante o período neonatal e os hormônios gonadais interagem exercendo um profundo impacto a longo-prazo sobre a atividade do sistema de estresse hipotálamo-hipófise-adrenais e também sobre os mecanismos de controle neuroendócrino do sistema reprodutivo na vida adulta. / Endogenous hormones and environmental stimuli during the neonatal period appear to be determinant to program the behavioral and neuroendocrine profile in adult life. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the interaction between gonadal hormones and handling stimulation during the neonatal period on plasma corticosterone, gonadotrophins (luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormones), and gonadal hormones (estradiol, progesterone and testosterone) in adult male and female rats. For experimental groups, newborn Wistar pups were gonadectomized, or submitted to sham surgery or kept without surgery, at up to 6 hours after delivery. These pups were or stimulated daily by experimental handling, or kept without handling, during the first 10 postnatal days. For another experimental groups, males were stimulated daily on neonatal period (until 10 postnatal days) and gonadectomized at 80 days. Only neonatal handling shows no differences on plasma corticosterone and gonadotrophins, both in male or female rats, but reduced gonadal hormones in female rats. While handling in neonatal gonadectomized females induced a lesser increase in corticosterone response compared with the non-handled ones, in males, the absence of the gonadal hormones abolished the reduction of the stress response induced by neonatal gonadectomy in the non-handled group. Handling increased the negative feedback responsiveness to gonadotrophins of neonatal gonadectomized male and female rats. But, adult gonadectomy of neonatal handled males induced a lesser increase in LH compared with the non-handled ones. It is noteworthy that those castration performed just after birth, provoked the absence of the hormones occurred throughout the life of the animal. In females, early life environmental stimulation occurred upon a nervous system that has not been under the influence of gonadal hormones. In males, besides pre-natal effects of gonadal steroids, an interaction between environmental stimulation and hormonal effects during the neonatal period probably occurred. Environmental stimulation during the neonatal period and gonadal hormones interact and exert a profound long-lasting impact on the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal stress system and also on the reproductive neuroendocrine control mechanisms in adulthood.
