A utilização do capim-Tanzânia tem sido crescente nas pastagens brasileiras e há nítida demanda de maior conhecimento sobre as necessidades nutricionais dessa forrageira, com o intuito de se obter mais altas produtividades. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi de obter informações desse capim no que diz respeito à relação entre os nutrientes potássio e magnésio, através da avaliação do número de perfilhos e de folhas, área foliar, produção de massa da parte aérea e das raízes, superfície e comprimento radicular, leitura SPAD, teor de clorofila nas folhas e concentrações dos macronutrientes catiônicos nos tecidos das plantas e caracterização de sintomas visuais. Foi conduzido um experimento em casa-de-vegetação, com solução nutritiva, em vasos de 3,6 L tendo sílica moída como substrato, no período de setembro a novembro de 2004, em Piracicaba-SP. Utilizou-se o esquema fatorial 52 incompleto, perfazendo um total de 13 combinações de doses de potássio e de magnésio, em mmol L-1: 0,4K/0,05Mg; 0,4K/1,35Mg; 0,4K/2,65Mg; 3,2K/0,7Mg; 3,2K/2Mg; 6K/0,05Mg; 6K/1,35Mg; 6K/2,65Mg; 8,8K/0,7 Mg; 8,8K/2Mg; 11,6K/0,05Mg; 11,6K/1,35Mg; 11,6K/2,65Mg, em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. O primeiro corte das plantas foi realizado 46 dias após o transplante das mudas e o segundo 28 dias após o primeiro. Em ambos os cortes a parte aérea das plantas foi separada em folhas emergentes, lâminas de folhas recém-expandidas, lâminas de folhas maduras e colmos mais bainhas. Após o segundo corte realizou-se também a separação das raízes, utilizando-se água corrente e peneiras de 0,25 e 1,00 mm. As combinações de doses de potássio e de magnésio foram determinantes para a proporção de potássio, magnésio e cálcio na parte aérea nos dois períodos de crescimento, para comprimento e massa radicular e, somente no segundo crescimento, para produção da parte aérea e para as concentrações de cálcio e de manganês nas lâminas de folhas recém-expandidas do capim. De forma isolada as doses de potássio alteraram o número de perfilhos e de folhas, a área foliar e a concentração de zinco nas lâminas de folhas recém-expandidas nos dois crescimentos, enquanto influenciaram, no primeiro crescimento, a produção da parte aérea e as concentrações de cálcio, cobre, ferro e manganês nas folhas diagnósticas, além de promover alteração na superfície radicular. As doses de magnésio, isoladamente, fizeram variar o valor SPAD e a concentração de clorofila nos dois crescimentos, e no segundo crescimento, têm influência na área foliar, na superfície radicular e nas concentrações de cobre, ferro e zinco nas lâminas de folhas recém-expandidas da gramínea. As máximas respostas do capim-Tanzânia ocorreram com fornecimento de potássio na solução nutritiva entre 8,4 e 10,9 mmol L-1 e o de magnésio entre 1,7 e 2,3 mmol L-1, e com participação do potássio entre 53 e 64 % e do magnésio ao redor de 20 % na concentração total de potássio, magnésio e cálcio na parte aérea das plantas. Sintomas visuais das deficiências de potássio e de magnésio nas plantas somente foram observados com baixos suprimentos desses nutrientes. / Tanzânia grass use in Brazilian pastures has been improved, and there is a need for more knowledge on its mineral nutrition in order to increase forage productivity. The objective of this research was to obtain information for this grass related to the combined supply of potassium and magnesium, through the evaluation of number of tillers and leaves, leaf area, plant tops and roots dry matter production, roots lenght and surface, SPAD value, leaf chlorophyll concentration, cationic macronutrients concentrations in plant tissues and visual symptoms characterization. An experiment was carried out in a greenhouse by using nutrient solution in 3.6 L pots containing ground quartz, from September to November 2004, at Piracicaba, São Paulo State, Brasil. An incomplete 52 factorial was used, which resulted in 13 combinations among potassium and magnesium rates, in mmol L-1: 0,4K/0,05Mg; 0,4K/1,35Mg; 0,4K/2,65Mg; 3,2K/0,7Mg; 3,2K/2Mg; 6K/0,05Mg; 6K/1,35Mg; 6K/2,65Mg; 8,8K/0,7 Mg; 8,8K/2Mg; 11,6K/0,05Mg; 11,6K/1,35Mg; 11,6K/2,65Mg, in a randomized block design, with four replications. Plants were first harvested 46 days after seedlings transplanting to the pots, and harvested again 28 days after the first harvest. At each harvest plants tops were separated into emergent leaves, newly expanded leaf laminae, mature leaf laminae and culms plus sheaths. After the second harvest the roots were collected by passing tap water through 0.25 and 1.00 mm screens. Potassium and magnesium rates combinations highly influenced the proportion of potassium, magnesium and calcium in plant tops in both growth periods, and the roots dry weight and length. These nutrients rates combinations also determined forage yield and concentrations of calcium and manganese in the newly expanded leaf laminae at the second harvest. Potassium rates significantly changed the number of tillers and leaves, leaf area, and zinc concentration in the newly expanded leaves at both growth periods, whereas in the first growth influenced forage yield, concentrations of calcium, copper, iron and manganese in the newly expanded leaf laminae, and in the root surface. Magnesium rates resulted in changes in SPAD values and chlorophyll concentrations in the two plant growths but, at second growth, promoted changes in leaf area, in root surface, and in concentrations of copper, iron and zinc in the newly expanded leaf laminae. Maximum responses of Tanzania grass were found when potassium was supplied between 8.4 and 10.9 mmol L-1 and magnesium between 1.7 and 2.3 mmol L-1 and when potassium contributed between 53 and 64 % and magnesium about 20 % to the total concentration of potassium, magnesium and calcium in plants tops. Visual symptoms of potassium and magnesium deficiencies in the plants were only observed with low rates supply of these nutrients.

A discussão sobre adaptações de obras literárias em realizações cinematográficas já passou do campo moralista da fidelidade ou traição para uma discussão menos valorativa. Isso significou uma focalização no estudo da intertextualidade entre a adaptação cinematográfica e o romance original, tendo como pontos de observação o tipo de seleção feita no processo da realização fílmica, a concretização visual do texto literário, a atualização de determinados temas abordados na obra e o foco narrativo, por exemplo. O que se pretende com este trabalho é a análise da estrutura narrativa do romance O tambor (Die Blechtrommel) de Günter Grass e do filme homônimo dirigido por Volker Schlöndorff, observando a forma como o romancista articula a construção complexa de seu foco narrativo e como o cineasta trabalha essa estrutura em seu filme, o que resulta em diferentes formas de perceber e interpretar tanto o narrador-personagem quanto o universo no qual está inserido. / Debates on the adaptation of literary works to the cinema have already surpassed moral judgments related to fidelity and treason, finding a more objective approach. It implies, for example, the comparison between the movie adaptation and the original work focusing on intertextuality and using, as points for analysis, the selection of literary material made during the filmic realization process, the visual achievement of the literary text, the update of some of the themes brought out by the writer and the narrative focus, among others. This work aims at analyzing the narrative structure of Günter Grass novel The Tin Drum (Die Blechtrommel) and Volker Schlöndorffs homonymous movie by observing the complex articulation of Grass narrative focus and the directors rendering of that structure, which results in different ways of perceiving and interpreting both the narrating character and the universe he is placed in.

Neste trabalho, buscou-se o desenvolvimento e adequação de técnicas de análise morfométrica em Sistemas de Informações Geográficas. Como base de trabalho, foram utilizados os programas livres GRASS-GIS e a linguagem estatística R. Os parâmetros morfométricos estudados foram hipsometria, declividade, orientação de vertentes, perfis em varredura, densidade de lineamentos e de drenagem, rugosidade de relevo, isobases e gradiente hidráulico. A área de estudo localiza-se na borda leste do Quadrilátero Ferrífero (MG), e possui unidades geomorfológicas distintas: um relevo montanhoso a oeste (Serra do Caraça), separado por uma escarpa de centenas de metros de terrenos caracterizados por dissecação fluvial, que abrigam em sua porção central, um planalto sustentado por conglomerados ferruginosos cenozóicos. O elemento principal da análise morfométrica é o Modelo Numérico de Terreno (MDT), que pode ser interpolado a partir de curvas de nível ou de pontos cotados. Há ainda a possibilidade de utilizar MDTs produzidos pela agência espacial americana (NASA), disponíveis gratuitamente via internet. A metodologia proposta envolve principalmente operações básicas de SIG, como conversão entre formatos vetorial e matricial, operações matemáticas simples em mapas raster e interpolação de valores pontuais em superfícies contínuas. Análise de superfícies de tendência foi realizada para verificar a possibilidade de uso do método em estudos de morfotectônica. Foram ajustadas superfícies polinomiais de 1º a 6º grau, e as significâncias estatísticas de cada polinômio e do incremento do grau polinomial foram verificadas com análise de variância. Os mapas morfométricos produzidos permitiram a identificação de estruturas provavelmente relacionadas com a configuração atual da paisagem. Os mapas de resíduos para as superfícies de tendência mais representativas possuem boa correlação com as estruturas inferidas. A metodologia proposta pode ser adaptada aos diversos pacotes SIG existentes no mercado. O uso de programas livres e de código aberto garante o acesso a todos, e sua crescente popularização abre novas perspectivas nesse campo. / This work aims on developing and adaptation of morphometric analysis in Geographic Information Systems. Free softwares GRASS-GIS and R statistical language were used as main applications. Studied morphometric parameters were hypsometry, slope, aspect, swath profiles, drainage and lineament density, surface roughness, isobase and hydraulic gradient. The study area is located in the eastern border of Quadrilátero Ferrífero (MG), and has distinct geomorphological units: a mountainous relief to west (Serra do Caraça), separated by a scarp with hundreds of meters of fall from fluvial dissected terrains, with a flat plateau in its central portion, the Chapada de Canga. The main element for morphometric analysis is the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), which can be interpolated form contours or scattered points. There is also the possibility of utilize NASA' s DEMs, freely available via internet. The proposed methodology deals mainly with basic GIS operations, like conversion between raster and vector, simple mathematic operations on raster maps and interpolation of discrete values into continuous surfaces. Trend-surface analysis was carried out o verify the possibility of use the method for morphotectonic studies. Polynomial surfaces from 1st to 6th degree were adjusted; the statistical significance of each surface and the significance of increasing polynomial degree were verified with analysis of variance. Produced morphometric maps allow identification of structures probably related with present-day landscape configuration. Residuals maps for most representative trend-surfaces keep good correlation with inferred structures. The proposed methodology can be adapted to the variety of GIS packages available in the market. The use of free and open-source softwares guarantees access to everyone, and its increasing popularization opens new perspectives in this field.

Foi conduzido experimento em casa-de-vegetação do Departamento de Solos e Nutrição de Plantas da ESALQ – USP, durante o período de fevereiro a maio de 2002, com o objetivo de avaliar respostas produtivas, fisiológicas e nutricionais a proporções de nitrato e amônio, das forrageiras Panicum maximum cv. Aruana e Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu, cultivados em solução nutritiva, utilizando sílica como substrato. Foi empregado o delineamento experimental de blocos completos ao acaso, com quatro repetições e seis tratamentos. O nitrogênio foi estudado na dose de 210 mg L -1 e nas proporções respectivas de nitrato e amônio de 100/0; 85/15;70/30; 55/45; 40/60 e 25/75%. As soluções foram preparadas a partir da solução completa de Sarruge (1975), devidamente modificada para as proporções desses íons no suprimento de nitrogênio. Dois corte foram realizados nas plantas, separando-se os componentes da parte aérea em folhas emergentes, lâminas de folhas recém-expandidas, lâminas de folhas maduras e colmos mais bainhas. Após o segundo corte, as raízes foram separadas da sílica e lavadas. Durante o crescimento das plantas foram determinados a atividade da redutase do nitrato e o valor SPAD e na ocasião dos cortes foram contados os perfilhos e as folhas das plantas e foi medida a área foliar. No material seco foi obtido a produção de massa e nas amostras moídas foram determinadas as concentrações de nitrogênio total, de nitrato e de amônio. Nas raízes foram avaliadas a superfície e comprimento total. As proporções de 85/15 a 55/45 de nitrato/amônio propiciaram aumento do número de perfilhos e de folhas. A área foliar e a massa seca da parte aérea responderam positivamente ao nitrogênio fornecido em proporção 100/0 a 55/45 de nitrato/amônio. A massa seca, a superfície e o comprimento de raízes foram beneficiadas pelo fornecimento de nitrato/amônio em proporções de 70/30 e 55/45. A aplicação de nitrato e amônio nas proporções de 40/60 e 25/75 resultou em mais elevada concentração de nitrogênio total nos colmos mais bainhas e de amônio nas lâminas de folhas maduras. Os atributos produtivos dos capins foram prejudicados pelo uso da proporção de nitrato/amônio de 25/75. A inclusão de amônio em substituição de parte do nitrato na solução completa de Sarruge beneficia os capins estudados. / A greenhouse experiment was carried out in the Soils and Plant Nutrition Department, at ESALQ-USP from February to May 2002. The objective was to evaluate the response in relation to proportions of nitrate and ammonium in the nutrient solutions of Panicum maximum cv. Aruana and Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu. Plants grew in a ground quartz substrate. The experiment was set in complete randomized block design, with four replications. Nitrogen at 210 mg L -1 was studied in proportions 100/0; 85/15; 70/30; 55/45; 40/60 and 25/75% of nitrate and ammonium, respectively. A complete Sarruge (1975) solution was modified to supply nitrogen in the studied proportions. Plants were harvest twice and plant tops was separated in emerging leaves, lamina of recently expanded leaves, lamina of mature leaves and steams plus sheaths. After the second harvest, roots were taken from the substrate and washed. During the growth period the nitrate reductase activity and SPAD units were determined and at the plant harvesting the number of tillers and leaves were counted and leaf area was measured. Dry matter yield was obtained in the oven, dry plants and the concentration of total nitrogen, nitrate and ammonium were determined in the ground sample. Roots were evaluated for the total surface and length. Increases in the number of tillers and leaves were found with the 85/15 to 55/45 proportions of nitrate/ammonium. Leaf area and plant tops dry weight positively responded to the nitrogen supplied form 100/0 to 55/45 as nitrate/ammonium. Nitrate and ammonium applied in the 40/60 and 25/75 proportions showed the highest total nitrogen concentration in stems plus sheaths and the highest ammonium concentration in the lamina of mature leaves. Grasses production was decreased by the use of nitrate/ammonium at 25/75 proportion. The inclusion of ammonium as part of the nitrogen supply in the Sarruge’s nutrient solution is beneficial to the studied forage grasses.

Abstract not available

A 4-year study was conducted on the Missouri Coteau in the Mixed Grassland Ecoregion of Saskatchewan to determine the effects of mowing to a 7.5 cm stubble height on the growth of <i>Festuca hallii</i> (Vasey) Piper and <i>Stipa curtiseta</i> (A.S. Hitch.) Barkworth. Green standing crop (GSC), dead standing crop (DSC) and above ground net primary production (ANPP) were compared to an unmowed control after a single mowing in April, May, June, July, August, September, October or November on 5 landforms including north aspect-concave-slope, north aspect-convex-slope, south aspect-concave-slope, south aspect-convex-slope and level upland. Mowing reduced GSC, DSC and ANPP with reductions varying among months of mowing and among landforms. Green standing crop, DSC and ANPP of <i>F. hallii</i> were greatest on the north aspects and least on south aspect-convex slope and ranged from 2 to 122 g m-2, 3 to 121 g m-2, and 8 to 122 g m-2, respectively. Mowing reduced GSC of <i>F. hallii</i> for 1 to 11 growing season months and DSC for 1 to >11 growing season months. Mowing in May or November reduced ANPP of <i>F. hallii</i> for 1 growing season, while mowing in other months reduced ANPP for 2 growing seasons. Green standing crop of <i>S. curtiseta</i>, ranging from 3 g m-2 to 55 g m-2, was least on the north aspects and greatest on the south aspect-convex slope and was reduced 1 to 5 growing season months following mowing. Mowing after June reduced DSC of <i>S. curtiseta</i>(5 to 58 g m-2) for 1 to 10 growing season months, and ANPP (6 to 64 g m-2) for 1 growing season. Generally, mowing reduced GSC, DSC and ANPP of <i>F. hallii</i> longer than <i>S. curtiseta</i>. Production of <i>F. hallii</i>- and <i>S. curtiseta</i>-dominated plant communities in the Northern Mixed Prairie will be maintained by providing rest periods between defoliation events based on the number of growing season months for <i>F. hallii</i> to recover production.

Le Tambour de Günter Grass peut être lu comme la mise en fiction du roman familial du personnage et narrateur, Oscar Matzerath, qui rédige ses mémoires dans la maison de santé où il est interné. L'objet de ce mémoire est précisément l'analyse de l'écriture d'Oscar comme invention d'une généalogie mythique et fantasme des origines. Ce narrateur indique dès le début de ses mémoires que « nul ne devrait décrire sa vie » sans d'abord « commémorer une bonne moitié de ses grands-parents ». Ce besoin de reconstituer l'origine et de l'interroger se déploie dans le récit à travers, notamment, le fantasme du retour au sein maternel (dont le tambour et l'écriture constituent en quelque sorte les moyens) qui se traduit par la reconstitution d'une généalogie sur les modes mythique et théologique. Ce mémoire s'intéresse donc d'abord aux mécanismes qui régissent l'écriture « oscarienne » dans sa cohésion interne, c'est-à-dire en fonction des fantasmes du personnage et des réseaux symboliques et signifiants qui le construisent dans le texte et qui constituent son style propre. La question de l'origine convoque celles de la filiation et du mythe, autant d'éléments à mettre en réseau pour éclairer la construction généalogique fantasmée par le narrateur. Sur ce plan, l'approche psychanalytique ouvre une perspective de recherche appropriée pour repérer les mécanismes du fantasme dans l'écriture d'Oscar, c'est pourquoi nous opterons pour une lecture orientée en ce sens. Il s'agit de voir comment, sur les plans de l'énonciation, de la mémoire et du mythe, le roman construit une filiation matrilinéaire au service d'une toute-puissance narrative qui permet d'échapper au temps et à la mort. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Günter Grass, Le Tambour, Fantasme de l'origine, Généalogie matrilinéaire, Mythe.

The Bogong High Plains are a series of alpine and subalpine plateaux in NE Victoria. The vegetation of the High Plains consists of woodland, heathland, grassland herbfield and wetland communities. On the better drained sites, the transition from heath dominated communities to grass dominated communities is correlated with gradients of decreasing accumulation and persistence of snow, increasing exposure to wind and low minimum air temperatures, and decreasing steepness and rockiness of terrain. In many areas, shrubs have increased in cover and abundance, especially over the last 50 years. In particular, shrubs have invaded many areas of grassland, which has resulted in an expansion of both open heath and closed heath. The High Plains have been grazed by free ranging cattle each summer since the 1850's, and a primary aim of this thesis is to investigate the dynamics of heathland and grassland, and the impact that cattle grazing has upon these two vegetation types.
