No. of bitstreams: 1 3035.pdf: 892381 bytes, checksum: ff6a3130c36121f43baf1fa3313e9b53 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-05-05 / Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos / This work aims to determine through bioassays the allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts Gleichenella pectinata and Dicranopteris flexuosa adult and mature fronds in two physiological stages (fertile and sterile) over the percentage and average time of germination, besides initial growth of three species of crop weeds (Echinochloa crus-galli, Ipomoea grandifolia, Euphorbia heterophylla). Four aqueous treatments were made (0, 2,5 , 5 and 10%), with five replications. Each plot consisted of 30 seeds for germination tests and 10 seedlings for initial growth of root and hypocotyl / coleoptile. Root growth was the most sensitive parameter to G. pectinata and D. flexuosa allelochemicals, for the three target species. All extracts damaged root growth of target species, excepting the lower concentration of sterile fronds extracts over E. heterophylla. Sterile frond extracts caused a delay on E. crusgalli and E. heterophylla germination under concentrations 5 and 10%. The higher concentration of fertile frond extract decreased germination percentage of the three target species. All D. flexuosa extracts decreased root length of all target species. I. grandifolia was the most sensitive species due to D. flexuosa extracts, having showed decrease in all morphologic parameters. Both other target species also had their shoot part length growth suppressed under 5% and 10% concentrations. A soil experiment was also performed in order to verify the role of different treatments of D. flexuosa fronds on Lactuca sativa germination in presence or absence of microorganisms. Each treatment was tested with 4 lettuce seeds per vase, by 10 days with 6 replications. Treatments were tested in 6 periods of ten days each, related to the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 16th and 32nd days after treatments application. Light, moisture and temperature conditions were controlled. In general, non-sterilized substrates presented higher allelopathic effects over analyzed parameters. Among treatments, the pre-occupied soil exerted stronger effects, with inhibition of germination in non-sterilized, during the whole period of experiment. That must be an indicative of accumulated allelopathic substances under environmental conditions, and their prolonged effects. / No presente trabalho foram feitos bioensaios para determinar o potencial alelopático dos extratos aquosos de frondes adultas de Gleichenella pectinata e de Dicranopteris flexuosa em dois estágios fisiológicos (fértil e estéril) sobre a porcentagem e o tempo médio de germinação, e crescimento inicial de três espécies de plantas infestantes de culturas (Echinochloa crus-galli, Ipomoea grandifolia, Euphorbia heterophylla). Foram feitos quatro tratamentos aquosos (0, 2,5 , 5 e 10%), com cinco repetições. Cada tratamento consistiu de 30 sementes para os experimentos de germinação e 10 plântulas para crescimento da radícula e do hipocótilo/coleóptilo. O crescimento das raízes foi o parâmetro mais sensível aos aleloquímicos de frondes de G. pectinata e de D. flexuosa, para as três espécies estudadas. Todos os extratos prejudicaram o crescimento da raiz das três espécies alvo, exceto a concentração 2,5% do extrato de frondes estéreis de G. pectinata sobre E. heterophylla. Os extratos de frondes estéreis de G. pectinata atrasaram a germinação de E. heterophylla e E. crus-galli nas concentrações 5 e 10%. A concentração 10% do extrato de fronde férteis reduziu a porcentagem de germinação das três espécies-alvo. Todos os extratos de D. flexuosa reduziram o sistema radicular de todas as espécies alvo. I. grandifolia foi a espécie mais sensível aos extratos de D. flexuosa, apresentando redução de todos os parâmetros morfológicos. As demais espécies alvo tiveram suas partes aéreas diminuídas pelas concentrações 5 e 10%. Foi realizado um experimento em solo para verificar o desempenho de diferentes tratamentos de D. flexuosa na germinação de Lactuca sativa, na presença e ausência de microrganismos. Cada um dos tratamentos foi testado com 4 sementes de alface /vaso durante seis períodos distintos de dez dias, referentes ao 1º, 2º, 4º, 8º, 16º e 32º dias após a aplicação dos tratamentos, com 6 réplicas. As condições de luminosidade, umidade e temperatura foram controladas. Em geral, os substratos não esterilizados apresentaram maiores efeitos alelopáticos sobre os parâmetros analisados. Dentre os tratamentos, o solo pré ocupado por D. flexuosa, inibindo a germinação quando não esterilizado, durante todo e tempo de experimento. Isso comprova o acúmulo de substâncias alelopáticas em condições ambientais, e seu efeito prolongado.

Diversité phénotypique et génotypique de salmonelles isolées au Cambodge à partir d’échantillons biologiques alimentaires ou humains / Phenotypic and genotypic diversity of salmonella isolated in Cambodia from food or human biological specimens

Kruy, Sun Lay 23 February 2011 (has links)
Salmonella (S.) enterica est reconnue comme le principal agent causal de la salmonellose chez l’homme et les animaux. La distribution épidémiologique de cette infection implique souvent des régions géographiques éloignées; il est ainsi nécessaire de posséder des méthodes fiables afin de pouvoir discriminer des souches responsables d’une épidémie. En raison des limites de la méthode de typage sérologique, de nombreuses méthodes de génotypage moléculaire ont été développées. En particulier, la méthode par PCR couplée à l’électrophorèse en champ pulsé, qui est utilisée pour la séparation et la caractérisation des molécules d’ADN, et le génotypage par analyse de répétition en tandem polymorphe ou MLVA (Multiple-Locus VNTR Analysis), sont des méthodes modernes qui permettent d’étudier le polymorphisme et la diversité génétique des souches de S. enterica liées à une épidémie. Dans notre étude, onze marqueurs contenant des régions de répétitions en tandem polymorphique (VNTR : Variable Number Tandem Repeats) sélectionnés à partir du génome de S. enterica Typhimurium LT2 ont été utilisés pour évaluer la diversité génétique de 206 souches de S. enterica sélectionnées entre 2001 et 2007. Ces salmonelles sont représentées par 31 sérotypes, ont été isolées à partir de trois sources: hommes, aliments cuits et crus. Chaque souche a été isolée à partir d’échantillon unique et n’était liée à aucun épisode d’intoxication alimentaire ou à une épidémie de salmonellose connue. La technique MLVA a permis de sous typer 107 génotypes regroupés dans un dendrogramme en deux branches distintes dont la première et constituée par Salmonella Typhi et la deuxième par les 30 autres sérotypes liés entre eux par un ancêtre commun. Parmi les sérotypes, quatre ont été répartis dans deux à cinq branches phylogénétiques. La représentation de la variation allélique des sérotypes de S. enterica a utilisé l’arbre minimum couvrant sans racine. Des variations alléliques pour des sérotypes de S. enterica précédemment ou nouvellement décrits ont été identifiées et des variants génétiques ont été répartis en types ou en variants MLVA à loci uniques, en variants différents par un locus (SLVs), en variants différant par deux loci (DLVs) et des variants différant par plus de deux loci. Quatre marqueurs (STTR3, STTR5, STTR8 et Sal20) ont présenté un indice de diversité élevé (DI> 0,80). En résumé, la technique MLVA peut être appliquée pour étudier le profil génétique de S. enterica avec une grande diversité de sérotypes. / Epidemiological distribution of this infection often involves large areas of geographically distant, and reliable methods to discriminate strains responsible for an epidemic are necessary. Due to limitations of serological typing method, many molecular genotyping methods have been developed. Some molecular methods and their applications are: PCR coupled to PFGE, which is used for the separation and characterization of molecular profiles, and MLVA (Multiple-Locus VNTR Analysis) genotyping, or so called analysis of polymorphic tandem repeats are modern methods that allow study of the polymorphic genetic diversity and discrimination of Salmonella strains related or unrelated to epidemics. In our study, 11 markers containing polymorphic tandem repeats (VNTR: Variable Number Tandem Repeats) selected from the genome of S. enterica Typhimurium LT2 were used to assess the genetic diversity of 206 strains of S. enterica selected in 2001-2007 period. These are represented by 31 Salmonella serotypes selected from three sources: human, food and animals. Each strain was isolated from a single sample and was not related to an episode of epidemic of salmonellosis. The technique MLVA has allowed subtyping of 107 genotypes grouped in a dendrogram into two distinct dispersion trees, the first for serotype Typhi and the second for the other 30 serotypes devided within two subgroups derived from a common ancestor. Four serotypes were dispersed in two to five phylogenetic branches. The representation of the allelic variation of serotypes of S. enterica used a minimum spanning tree. Allelic variations in the serotypes of S. enterica, previously or newly described, were identified and genetic variants were distributed in MLVA types in unique locus variants, in single locus variants or in variants different by a locus (SLVs), in variants different by two loci (DLVs) and in different variants by more than two loci. Four markers (STTR3, STTR5, STTR8, and Sal20) have shown a high Diversity Index (DI> 0.80). In summary, MLVA can be applied to study the genetic profile of S. enterica with a wide variety of serotypes.

[pt] REOLOGIA DE OLEOS PARAFINICOS CRUS / [en] RHEOLOGY OF WAXY CRUDE OILS

10 November 2021 (has links)
[pt] Esta tese é sobre a reologia de óleos parafínicos crus. Um protocolo baseado na literatura relevante é desenvolvido para garantir que históricos térmico e de cisalhamento bem definidos sejam impostos em amostras que serão submetidas à medições reológicas. Com este protocolo, uma caracterização reológica quase completa de um óleo parafínico cru brasileiro é executada . Quatro experimentos reométricos são realizados, a saber, escoamento em estado estacionário, taxa de cisalhamento constante, tensão constante e rampa oscilatória de amplitude de tensão. Propriedades reológicas importantes, tais como, viscosidade, tensão limite de escoamento e módulos elástico e viscoso são medidos com o auxílio de técnicas diferentes em uma ampla faixa de condições. Além disso, uma comparação entre essas técnicas de medição é realizada. O processo de quebra da microestrutura do óleo parafínico brasileiro, assim como os efeitos na reologia do histórico do material e do tempo de repouso isotérmico são estudados. Fenômenos interessantes são observados, incluindo bifurcação da taxa de cisalhamento, dependência da tensão limite com os históricos térmico e de cisalhamento e independência dos resultados de regime permanente com relação à condição inicial após o resfriamento. Por fim, oportunidades para futuros desenvolvimentos e investigações são enfatizadas. / [en] This thesis deals with the rheology of waxy crude oils. A protocol based on the relevant literature is developed to guarantee well defined shear and thermal histories to waxy crude oil samples to be submitted to rheological measurements. With this protocol, a fair complete rheological characterization of a Brazilian waxy crude oil is performed. Four rheometric experiments, namely steady-state flow, constant shear rate, constant shear stress, and dynamic-stress-amplitude sweep are carried out. Important rheological properties, such as, viscosity, yield stress, and storage and loss moduli are measured with di↵erent techniques in a wide range of conditions and a comparison between the techniques is presented. The yielding as well as the history effects and the e↵ects of isothermal holding time on the microstructure and rheology of a Brazilian waxy crude oil are investigated. Interesting phenomena are observed, including bifurcation of shear rate, dependence of the yield stress with thermal and shear histories, and independence of the steady-state results with the post-cooling initial condition of the experiment. At last, opportunities for further developments are highlighted.
