A. / LIGHT Servi?os de Eletricidade S.A. / The present study looked for alternatives of growth handling and of pruning in plants used in the urban forestation, seeking to the decrease of conflicts of these with electric power spinnings. In the chapter I experiments were accomplished with Flamboyant in soil and simple nutritious solution containing Al, with objective of studying handling alternatives seeking to reduce the growth and development of plantules Flamboyant. The aluminum atrophies roots could affect the growth. Six experiments were accomplished with plantules (soil and simple nutritious solution) in conditions of growth camera and vegetation house, Department of Fitotecnia - UFRRJ. In the soil experiments they were used two sources of sulfate of aluminum, being a commercial one and a pure source analytically, in the concetrations 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg ha-1 in the soils Planossolo and Argissolo, with four repetitions. The experiments accomplished in simple nutritious solution just received calcium (0,001 mM) and they had as source AlCl3 with doses that varied from 0,075 to 5,0 mM. Through the results of the chapter I was ended that in same or superior conditions of soil concentrations to 0,4 Cmolc/dm3 of Al caused toxicity to the plantules of Flamboyant, with effects mainly in the length root, and in solution simple nutritious doses same or upper to 0,075 mM of AlCl3 paralyzed the growth root. Al can be used as inhibitor of vegetable growth in plantules of Flamboyant. The chapter II had as objective studies the effects of the pruning and association with growth inhibitors in arboreal species. Four experiments were accomplished with the plants Sabi?, Sombreiro, and Cucumber (phytotoxicity Evaluation the herbicides). The experiments were installed in the Department of Fitotecnia-UFRRJ, Serop?dica. In the experiment 1 (Sabi?) all the plants were cut off 2 m of height, and they were applied the treatments: control, 2.4-D+Picloram, and Picloram. In the experiment 2 (Sabi?) all the plants were pruned removing 1/3 of the cup and applying the treatments: control, HCl, AlCl3, Picloram and nearby Cut (Without pruning of 1/3 of the cup). The experiment 3 (Sombreiro) had as treatments cut types in relation to the main trunk: nearby, leaving stub of 20 cm and of 40 cm. The experiment 4 (Pepino) it was installed in the originating from soil the first experiment with Sabi?. In the experiment 1, the treatment with Picloram delayed the beginning of the regrowth, important factor for the present study, so that they delay to arrive to the electric power spinning. In the experiment 2, just the treatment Picloram presented length and diameter of sprouts a little smaller in relation to the other treatments. In the experiment 3 it was verified that the nearby cut didn't present new budding until the 145 days after the pruning. In the experiment 4 the cucumber presented more intense toxicity in the treatment with Picloram. Was ended that Picloram and 2,4-D+Picloram were efficient for budding handling in adult plants of Sabi?, because they presented budding with small lengths, delaying the accomplishment of new pruning. In plants of Sombreiro the nearby cut was efficient, not presenting budding. It happened toxicity for Picloram in plants of Pepino. / O presente estudo buscou alternativas de manejo de crescimento e de poda em plantas utilizadas na arboriza??o urbana, visando ? diminui??o de conflitos destas com fia??es de energia el?trica. No cap?tulo I foram realizados experimentos com Flamboyant em solo e solu??o nutritiva simples contendo Al, com objetivo de estudar alternativas de manejo visando diminuir o crescimento e desenvolvimento de pl?ntulas Flamboyant. O alum?nio atrofia ra?zes podendo afetar o crescimento. Foram realizados seis experimentos com pl?ntulas (Solo e solu??o nutritiva simples) em condi??es de c?mara de crescimento e casa de vegeta??o, Departamento de Fitotecnia - UFRRJ. Nos experimentos de solo foram utilizadas duas fontes de sulfato de alum?nio, sendo uma comercial e uma fonte pura analiticamente, nas concentra??es 0, 100, 200, 300 e 400 kg ha-1 nos solos Planossolo e Argissolo, com quatro repeti??es. Os experimentos realizados em solu??o nutritiva simples receberam apenas c?lcio (0,001 mM) e tiveram como fonte AlCl3 com doses que variaram de 0,075 a 5,0 mM. Atrav?s dos resultados do cap?tulo I conclui-se que em condi??es de solo concentra??es iguais ou superiores a 0,4 Cmolc/dm3 de Al causaram toxicidade ?s pl?ntulas de Flamboyant, com efeitos principalmente no comprimento radicular, e em solu??o nutritiva simples doses iguais ou superiores a 0,075 mM de AlCl3 paralisaram o crescimento radicular. O Al pode ser utilizado como inibidor de crescimento vegetal em pl?ntulas de Flamboyant. O cap?tulo II teve como objetivo estudar os efeitos da poda e da sua associa??o com inibidores de crescimento em esp?cies arb?reas. Foram realizados quatro experimentos com as plantas Sabi?, Sombreiro, e Pepino (Avalia??o de fitotoxidade a herbicidas). Os experimentos foram instalados no Departamento de Fitotecnia-UFRRJ, Serop?dica-RJ. No experimento 1 (Sabi?) todas as plantas foram decepadas a 2 m de altura, e foram aplicados os tratamentos: Testemunha; 2,4-D+Picloram; e Picloram. No experimento 2 (Sabi?) todas as plantas foram podadas retirando 1/3 da copa e aplicando os tratamentos: Testemunha, HCl, AlCl3, Picloram e Corte rente (Sem poda de 1/3 da copa). O experimento 3 (Sombreiro) teve como tratamentos tipos de corte em rela??o ao tronco principal: rente, deixando toco de 20 cm e de 40 cm. O experimento 4 (Pepino) foi instalado no solo proveniente do primeiro experimento com Sabi?. No experimento 1, o tratamento com Picloram atrasou o in?cio da rebrota, fator importante para o presente estudo, a fim de que demorem chegar ? fia??o de energia el?trica. No experimento 2, apenas o tratamento Picloram apresentou comprimento e di?metro de brotos um pouco menores em rela??o aos demais tratamentos. No experimento 3 foi verificado que o corte rente n?o apresentou novas brota??es at? os 145 dias ap?s a poda. No experimento 4 o pepino apresentou toxidez mais intensa no tratamento com Picloram. Conclui-se que o Picloram e 2,4-D+Picloram foram eficientes para manejo de brota??es em plantas adultas de Sabi?, pois apresentaram brota??es com comprimentos pequenos, atrasando a realiza??o de nova poda. Em plantas de Sombreiro o corte rente foi eficiente, n?o apresentando brota??es. Ocorreu toxidez por Picloram em plantas de Pepino

The participating group is part of the National Educational Program of Professional Integration with Basic Schooling for Young and Adult Education - PROEJA formed by remaining Quilombolas, which resulted into a research on the history of this social group. The conventional carrot farming with exaggerated use of agrotoxics, waited for an opportunity for organic farming, with the intent to produce technical information which supply the local needs of production and free consumption of toxic residues. In the beginning it was produced the compound used as fertilizer in the Project. Each activity carried out generated an individual report. The students named the project as ?Carrot farming in the soil of Par?? and, they were divided into two groups, each group took care of an area, involving all the stages of the farming. The minimum processing of the carrot was mentioned by everyone, in their reports, as the glorious moment of the Project. In the agricultural part it was possible to evaluate the farming in relation to the soil in its physical and chemical part; and in relation to the plant it was possible to evaluate the production; the extraction of nutrients; the most required nutrients; the dry matter of the aerial part (MSPA), of the root (MSR) and total (MST); always in comparison to Area I, where there was organic farming with the Area II, where there never have been planted with organic fertilizing. The results showed that the effect of organic matter in the soil, is not immediate. Plants absorbed the nutrients, but that's not reflected in increased production of roots. The experiment should be repeated for the suggestion of fertilization is better defined. The high export of nutrients by plant suggests that remain always the remains of culture in the production area. The use of the pedagogy of projects provided significant learning / O Projeto de pesquisa foi realizado no Instituto Federal do Par?, campus Castanhal, com o objetivo de avaliar se o uso da Pedagogia de Projetos em cultivo org?nico de cenoura, Daucus carota, L, experimentando-se dosagens diferenciadas de composto org?nico e h?mus de minhocas em duas ?reas que apresentam caracter?sticas diferenciadas pode contribuir na aprendizagem significativa. A turma participante faz parte do Programa da Educa??o Nacional de Integra??o Profissional com a Educa??o B?sica na Modalidade Educa??o de Jovens e Adultos - PROEJA formado por remanescentes Quilombolas, o que levou a uma pesquisa sobre a hist?ria desse grupo social. O cultivo convencional da cenoura com uso exagerado de agrot?xicos, ensejou seu cultivo org?nico, com o intuito de produzir informa??es t?cnicas que atendam ?s necessidades locais de produ??o e consumo livre de res?duos t?xicos. Inicialmente foi produzido a compostagem usada como adubo no projeto. Cada atividade realizada gerou um relato individual. Os alunos denominaram o projeto de ?Cultivo de Cenoura em Solos Paraenses? e, se dividiram em duas equipes, cada equipe cuidou de uma ?rea, envolvendo todas as etapas do cultivo. O processamento m?nimo da cenoura foi citado por todos, em seus relatos, como a apoteose do projeto. Na parte agr?cola foi poss?vel avaliar o cultivo em rela??o ao solo em sua parte f?sica e qu?mica; e em rela??o ? planta foi poss?vel avaliar a produ??o; a extra??o dos nutrientes; quais os nutrientes mais exigidos; a mat?ria seca da parte a?rea (MSPA), da raiz (MSR) e total (MST); sempre se comparando a ?rea I, onde j? havia cultivo org?nico com a ?rea II, onde nunca havia sido cultivado com aduba??o org?nica. Os resultados demonstraram que o efeito da mat?ria org?nica no solo, n?o ? imediato. As plantas absorveram bem os nutrientes, mas isso n?o se refletiu no aumento da produ??o de ra?zes. O experimento deve ser repetido para que a sugest?o de aduba??o seja melhor definida. A elevada exporta??o de nutrientes pela planta sugere que se mantenham sempre os restos de cultura na ?rea de produ??o. O uso da Pedagogia de projetos proporcionou aprendizagem significativa

We studied different crop areas under organic cultivation of vegetables (intensive cultivation, minimum tillage and crop rotation), grazing areas of Paspalum notatum (PAS); remaining fragments of Atlantic Forest (RMA), and degraded soil areas (ADR). Three composite soil samples were collected in each area to a depth of 0-10 cm in a Red Yellow Podzolic soil. In each sample we determined the levels of C and N associated with the SMB, labile C, labile N, free light fraction and intra-aggregate SOM, microbial respiration, microbial quotient and metabolic quotient. It was also determined mineral fractions as sand, silt, and clay, gravimetric moisture content, as well as the chemical attributes (Ca2+, Mg2+, P2O5, K+, organic C, total N, Al3+, CEC and pH in water). The pasture area had the highest accumulation of carbon in the soil microbial biomass (SMB) with 384 mg C kg-1 soil, about 35% above the level seen in the remaining Atlantic Forest fragments, which was attributed to the intense development and cycling of the root system of grasses in the upper soil layer, a horizon with higher concentration of microorganisms. About 2% of total organic C is stored in the SMB in pasture areas. The introduction of agricultural practices in farming system considerably affected the levels of SMB, showing reduction average of 30% compared to the remaining forest fragments. The metabolic quotient (qCO2) indicated losses of soil C for the managed areas with crops, and among the different systems of agriculture, greater losses of C were observed in areas managed with short cycle crops, with frequent use of plowing and harrowing, prompting the search for management systems that minimize soil disturbance and prioritize the maintenance of vegetation cover. The degraded soil area was the environment that contributed the most to the separation of the multivariate groups, showing the area of higher differences for the microbial activity and SOM levels. The attributes with higher importance in the multivariate grouping were clay content and the microbial C/N ratio showing the significance of the use of SMB and soil texture attributes in distinguishing between different crop management systems and soil vegetation cover, showing the prediction potential for the fate of soil organic carbon. / O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a influ?ncia do manejo fitot?cnico e da cobertura vegetal do solo na biomassa microbiana e fra??es l?beis da mat?ria org?nica do solo (MOS), com a possibilidade de progn?stico sobre o destino do carbono org?nico do solo em um sistema integrado de produ??o agroecol?gica. Foram estudadas diferentes ?reas de lavoura sob cultivo org?nico de hortali?as (cultivo intensivo, cultivo m?nimo e cultivo rotacionado); ?reas de pastagens de Paspalum notatum (PAS); remanescentes florestais da Mata Atl?ntica (RMA); e ?reas degradadas (ADR). Tr?s amostras compostas de solo foram coletadas em cada ?rea a uma profundidade de 0-10 cm em Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo. Em cada amostra determinou-se os teores de C e N associados ? BMS, C e N l?beis, fra??o leve livre e intra-agregado da MOS, respira??o microbiana, quociente microbiano e quociente metab?lico. Determinaram-se tamb?m as fra??es granulom?tricas areia, silte, argila, umidade gravim?trica, bem como os atributos qu?micos (Ca2+, Mg2+, P2O5, K+, C org?nico, N total, Al3+, CTC e pH em ?gua). A ?rea de pastagem apresentou o maior ac?mulo de carbono da biomassa microbiana do solo (BMS), com 384 mg C kg-1 solo, cerca de 35 % acima dos valores observados nos remanescentes florestais da Mata Atl?ntica, o que foi atribu?do ao intenso desenvolvimento e ciclagem do sistema radicular das gram?neas forrageiras na camada superior do solo, regi?o que ocorre maior concentra??o de microrganismos. Cerca de 2 % do total de Corg org?nico est? estocado na BMS nas ?reas de pastagens. A introdu??o de pr?ticas agr?colas no sistema de lavoura afetou consideravelmente os teores de BMS-C, apresentando redu??o m?dia de 30% com rela??o aos remanescentes florestais. O quociente metab?lico (qCO2) indicou perdas de C do solo para as ?reas manejadas com culturas agr?colas, e dentre os diferentes sistemas de cultivo agr?cola, maiores perdas de C foram observados nas ?reas manejadas com culturas de ciclo curto, com uso freq?ente de ara??o e gradagem, alertando para a procura de sistemas de manejo que minimizem o revolvimento do solo e priorizem a manuten??o da cobertura vegetal. A ?rea degradada foi o ambiente que mais contribuiu para a separa??o dos grupos de an?lise multivariada, mostrando ser a ?rea mais discrepante em rela??o ? atividade microbiana e teores de MOS. As vari?veis com maior peso na forma??o dos agrupamentos foram o teor de argila e a rela??o C/N microbiana, mostrando a import?ncia do uso da BMS e atributos granulom?tricos do solo na distin??o de diferentes sistemas de manejo fitot?cnico e cobertura vegetal do solo, ampliando a possibilidade de progn?stico sobre o destino do carbono org?nico do solo.

Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / To meet growing demand for goods and services of modern society there is an increase in industrial activity, is highlighting the versatility of steel for use of its products. Meanwhile, as well as all human activity there is the generation of waste that may contain contaminants, among these heavy metals, which are arranged in an inappropriate manner pose a risk to humans and other living organisms. In soil heavy metals can exist in different chemical forms, presented each of them a degree of availability, and the total content of an indication of soil contamination. The phytoremediation is a technique of bioremediation, which uses the cultivation of plants to remediate contaminated soil and water, either by the extraction (phytoextraction) or stabilization (phytostabilization) of the contaminant in the environment. The objective was to evaluate the effect of the culture of Pennisetum purpurem Schum., the distribution of chemical fractions of zinc and cadmium in the soil, in three of pH values, after contamination with industrial waste containing high levels of these elements, and their possible influence germination and development of the plant. It was conducted in a completely randomized experiment 2x2x3 factorial system, in a sample of Bt horizon of a Argisol Yellow, contaminated and not contaminated with residue from Cia Mercantile and Industrial Ing?, with and without cultivation of Pennisetum purpurem Schum., and receiving the application of three doses of CaCO3. The soil used was collected in the municipality of Pinheiral - RJ, being part of the sample contaminated with waste (66.67 g kg-1) to raise the level pseudo-Zn total of the values above 1500 mg kg-1. The sample was contaminated and not contaminated divided into three groups each received a different dose of CaCO3 (0.00, 0,75; 1,5 mg kg-1). After being incubated for 40 days to 80% of the field capacity, there were planted three Seedpieces of Pennisetum purpurem Schum., genotype Cameroon, in each unit cultivated. At 18 days after planting and germination were evaluated at the average height of the seedlings. At 135 days after planting were collected to shoot and root plants. The substrates were sampled after hatching and at the end of the experiment. In substrates was determined the pH in water and, for the treatments that received waste, the levels of Zn and Cd in the following fractions: soluble (F1), exchangeable (F2), precipitated (F3), absorbed more strongly (F4) and residual (F5). The extractors used to determine the fractions were: deionized water, MgCl2, acetic acid, DTPA and aqua regia. The results showed that the germination and development of Pennisetum purpurem Schum. were limited by the content of Cd and mainly in fractions of Zn more bioavailable (F1, F2). The levels of Zn in the soluble fraction (F1) exceeding 125 mg kg-1, caused a reduction in the germination and the initial development of culture. The cultivation of Pennisetum purpureum Schum. promoted reduction of soil pH of all treatments, and favored the solubility of Zn of contaminated substrates. Leaf contents of Zn greater than 1380 mg kg-1 caused sharp reduction in growth and phytotoxicity symptoms. The Pennisetum purpureum Schum did not show a behavior as plants hyperaccumulative of Zn and Cd, but they showed Zn accumulation and they were efficient in the remediation of Zn and Cd. / Para atender a demanda crescente por bens e servi?os da sociedade moderna houve um incremento da atividade industrial, se destacando a siderurgia pela versatilidade de emprego dos seus produtos. Entretanto, assim como toda atividade humana h? a gera??o de res?duos que podem conter contaminantes, dentre estes os metais pesados, que se dispostos de forma inadequada representam um risco a o homem e outros organismos vivos. Em solos os metais pesados podem existir em diferentes formas qu?micas, apresentando cada uma delas um grau de disponibilidade, sendo o teor total um indicativo de contamina??o do solo. A fitorremedia??o ? uma t?cnica da bioremedia??o, que utiliza o cultivo de plantas para remediar solos e ?guas contaminadas, seja pela extra??o (fitoextra??o) ou estabiliza??o (fitoestabiliza??o) do contaminante no ambiente. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do cultivo de Pennisetum purpurem Schum., na distribui??o das fra??es qu?micas de zinco e c?dmio no solo, em tr?s valores de pH, ap?s a contamina??o com res?duo industrial contendo altos teores destes elementos, e a sua poss?vel influ?ncia na germina??o e desenvolvimento da planta. Foi conduzido um experimento inteiramente casualizado no sistema fatorial 2x2x3, em amostra de horizonte Bt de um Argissolo Amarelo, contaminado e n?o contaminado, com res?duo da Cia Mercantil e Industrial Ing?, com e sem cultivo de Pennisetum purpurem Schum., e recebendo a aplica??o de tr?s doses de CaCO3. O solo utilizado foi coletado no munic?pio de Pinheiral ? RJ, sendo parte da amostra contaminada com res?duo (66,67 g kg-1), para elevar o teor pseudo-total de Zn a valores superiores a 1500 mg kg-1. A amostra contaminada e n?o contaminada foi dividida em tr?s grupos cada um recebeu uma dose diferente de CaCO3 (0,00; 0,75; 1,5 mg kg-1). Posteriormente sendo incubadas por 40 dias a 80% da capacidade de campo. Ap?s a incuba??o foram plantados tr?s toletes de Pennisetum purpurem Schum., gen?tipo Cameroon, em cada unidade cultivada. Aos 18 dias ap?s o plantio foram avaliadas a germina??o e a altura m?dia das pl?ntulas. Aos 135 dias ap?s o plantio foram coletadas a parte a?rea e raiz das plantas. Os substratos foram amostrados ap?s a incuba??o e no final do experimento. Nestes substratos foi determinado o pH em ?gua e, para os tratamentos que receberam res?duo, os teores de Zn e Cd nas seguintes fra??es: sol?vel (F1), troc?vel (F2), precipitada (F3), adsorvida mais fortemente (F4) e residual (F5). Os extratores utilizados para a determina??o das fra??es foram: ?gua deionizada, MgCl2, ?cido ac?tico, DTPA e ?gua r?gia. Os resultados mostraram que a germina??o e o desenvolvimento de Pennisetum purpurem Schum. foram limitados pelo teor de Cd e principalmente de Zn nas fra??es mais biodispon?veis (F1 e F2). Os teores de Zn na fra??o sol?vel (F1) superiores a 125 mg kg-1, provocaram redu??o na germina??o e no desenvolvimento inicial da cultura. O cultivo de Pennisetum purpureum Schum. promoveu redu??o do pH do solo de todos os tratamentos, tendo favorecido a solubilidade de Zn dos substratos contaminados. Teores foliares de Zn superiores a 1380 mg kg-1 provocaram acentuada redu??o no crescimento e sintomas de fitotoxidez. O Pennisetum purpureum Schum. n?o se comportou como hiperacumulador de Zn e Cd, mas apresentou acumula??o de Zn e efici?ncia na remedia??o de Zn e Cd.

Vinasse was added in half the vessels and all treatments were repeated 10 times. The pots were kept in the field and fertilized with the equivalent of 80 kg of N / ha with 15N labeled urea fertilizer. After 12 months of growth the plants accumulated between 10 and 24% of the total N of the soil + Fertilizer added. In the next nine months of growth, without any further addition of nitrogen fertilizer, the plants accumulated the equivalent of 8.5 to 19% of the original soil N + fertilizer. The cultivar CB 47-89 accumulated significantly more N than the other cultivars. This difference was greater in the absence of vinasse, and in this treatment the 15 N enrichment in the CB 47-89 cultivar was half that of the other cultivars, suggesting that there was a contribution of unlabelled N of the air to this cultivar via FBN . After 21 months of cultivation the N content of soil and roots was determined in 5 replicates. These analyzes revealed that planted pots lost between 7.5 and 12.5 g of soil N + fertilizer, but all accumulated more than this in plant tissues. In the case of cultivar CB 47-89, in the absence of vinasse, the plants removed approximately 10 g of N from the soil and fertilizer but accumulated about 35 g of N. In a second experiment, sugarcane cultivars were planted in pots containing 100 kg of soil, using two sources of 15N - labeled organic matter and gypsum pellets - with the objective of quantifying the contribution of the biological fixation of Nitrogen at different stages of the culture, using the 15n isotopic dilution technique. Harvests were carried out at 4.8.12 and 16 months of plant growth. There was not a good development of the plants that was attributed to the problem of aeration of the soil due to strong capacity, and there were no significant differences in the enrichment of 15N of the cultivars, suggesting that FBN contribution of the same magnitude occurred. Organic matter proved to be a better supplier of 15N for the soil solution, as it allowed a more constant N-labeling of soil for long-term experiments than did gypsum pellets. These data constitute the first direct evidence of very significant contributions of FBN associated to a sugarcane cultivar. / Um estudo com balan?o de nitrog?nio foi realizado em quatro cultivares comerciais de cana-de-a??car crescidos em vasos contendo 64 Kg de solo, com o objetivo de quantificar poss?veis contribui??es da fixa??o biol?gica de nitrog?nio (FBN) para as plantas. Vinha?a foi adicionada na metade dos vasos e todos os tratamentos foram repetidos 10 vezes. Os vasos foram mantidos no campo e adubados com o equivalente a 80 Kg de N/ha com fertilizante ur?ia marcada 15N. Ap?s 12 meses de crescimento as plantas acumularam entre 10 e 24 % do N total do solo + Fertilizante adicionado . Nos nove meses de crescimento seguintes, sem qualquer nova adi??o de fertilizante nitrogenado, as plantas acumularam o equivalente a 8,5 at? 19% do N original do solo + fertilizante. O cultivar CB 47-89 acumulou significativamente mais N do que os demais cultivares. Esta diferen?a foi maior na aus?ncia de vinha?a e, neste tratamento, o enriquecimento de 15 N no cultivar CB 47-89 foi a metade do que o dos outros cultivares, sugerindo que houve uma contribui??o de N n?o marcado do ar para este cultivar via FBN. Decorridos 21 meses de cultivo o conte?do de N do solo e das ra?zes foi determinado em 5 repeti??es. Estas an?lises revelaram que os vasos plantados perderam entre 7,5 e 12,5 g de N do solo +fertilizante, mas todos acumularam mais do que isto nos tecidos das plantas. No caso do cultivar CB 47 - 89, na aus?ncia de vinha?a, as planta removeram aproximante 10 g de N do solo e do fertilizante mas acumularam cerca de 35 g de N. Em um segundo experimento, cultivares de cana-de-a??car foram plantados em vasos contendo 100 Kg de solo, utilizando-se duas fontes fornecedoras de 15N - mat?ria org?nica marcada e peletes de gesso - com o objetivo de quantificar a contribui??o da fixa??o biol?gica de nitrog?nio em diferentes fases da cultura, atrav?s da t?cnica da dilui??o isot?pica de 15n. Foram realizadas colheitas aos 4.8,12 e 16 meses de crescimento das plantas. N?o houve um bom desenvolvimento das plantas que foi atribuido ao problema de aera??o do solo em fun??o de forte capacita??o, n?o ocorrendo diferen?as significativas no enriquecimento de 15N dos cultivares, sugerindo ter ocorrido contribui??o da FBN de mesma magnitude.

Therefore, samples from 20 trees were collected, and the development of the research was divided into two stages. In the first one, a dendrochronological study for the species was carried out and in the second one, a study of the effect of forest management on the anatomical, chemical and physical properties of C. langsdorffii wood. The area where the trees were collected, has as main characteristic the fact that had occurred the first lumbering in 1987 and reaching his second cutting cycle in 2013. During the dendrochronological study, a master chronological series of the tree species and also an analysis of the cambium sensitivity to climatic variations (temperature and precipitation) were done. Furthermore, weather effects of El Ni?o event were found in the growth of those trees. The study of the effect of forest management on the properties of wood, was carried through the anatomical, physics and chemistry characterization of woods that were formed 10 years before and 10 years after the first cutting cycle that had occurred in 1987. It was also analyzed the effect of the distance of the trees studied in relation to the glade (remaining stub) opened in the year of the first lumbering, in 1987. The results indicated that C. langsdorffii has potential to the dendrochronological studies, presenting a significant correlation between the width of the rings within and among those trees. The forest management led to diametrical higher increases than those observed before the first lumbering. It was observed that the higher diametrical growth of trees occurred during periods of the year in which the precipitation rate is higher. The study indicated a significant change in anatomical structure of the wood, by the increased frequency of vessels and decreasing width of rays formed on wood after lumbering in1987. Those results were also observed for the trees distances in relation to the glade. The changes into anatomical structure showed a decrease in the density of the wood formed after 1987. By chemical analysis, 10 chemical elements were found, 4 macro and 6 micronutrients. There was no significant difference in the assimilation of minerals into the wood as a result of forest management. Thus, there was no negative effect on the availability of nutrients to the C langsdorffii. Overall the results showed that forest management was beneficial to the C. langsdorffii, growth because that action led to possible and considerable gains in growth after forest intervention, without incurring significant losses in the anatomical, physical and chemical structure in the wood species. / O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o crescimento e propriedades da madeira em ?rvores de Copaifera langsdorffii de uma floresta ombr?fila aberta, sob regime de manejo florestal, no estado de Mato Grosso. Para tanto, foram coletadas amostras de 20 ?rvores, e o desenvolvimento do trabalho foi dividido em duas etapas. Na primeira, foi realizado um estudo dendrocronol?gico para a esp?cie e, na segunda, um estudo do efeito do manejo florestal nas propriedades anat?micas, qu?micas e f?sica da madeira de C. langsdorffii. A ?rea, onde foram coletadas as ?rvores, tem como principal caracter?stica o fato de ter ocorrido a primeira explora??o florestal no ano de 1987 e atingindo seu segundo ciclo de corte no ano de 2013. No estudo dendrocronol?gico, foi constru?da uma s?rie cronol?gica mestre da esp?cie e an?lises da sensibilidade cambial ?s varia??es clim?ticas (temperatura e precipita??o). Al?m disso, verificou-se os efeitos clim?ticos do evento El Ni?o no crescimento das ?rvores. O estudo do efeito do manejo florestal nas propriedades da madeira foi realizado atrav?s da caracteriza??o anat?mica, f?sica e qu?mica dos lenhos formados10 anos antes e 10 anos depois do primeiro ciclo de corte ocorrido em 1987. Foi tamb?m analisado o efeito da dist?ncia das ?rvores estudadas em rela??o ? clareira (toco remanescente) aberta no ano da primeira explora??o de 1987. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que a C. langsdorffii apresenta potencial para estudos dendrocronol?gicos, apresentando uma correla??o significativa da largura dos an?is dentro e entre ?rvores. O manejo florestal propiciou incrementos diametrais superiores aos observados antes da primeira explora??o. Observou-se que os maiores incrementos diametrais das ?rvores ocorreram nos per?odos do ano em que o ?ndice de precipita??o ? maior. O estudo indicou altera??es significativas na estrutura anat?mica da madeira, atrav?s do aumento da frequ?ncia de vasos e redu??o largura dos raios na madeira formada ap?s a explora??o florestal de 1987. Esses resultados tamb?m foram encontrados na an?lise de dist?ncia da ?rvore estudas em rela??o ao toco remanescente. As altera??es na estrutura anat?mica denotaram uma diminui??o da densidade aparente da madeira formada p?s 1987. Atrav?s da an?lise qu?mica foram encontrados 10 elementos qu?micos, sendo 4 macros e 6 micronutrientes. N?o houve diferen?a significativa na assimila??o de minerais na madeira decorrentes do manejo florestal. Assim, n?o houve efeito negativo na disponibilidade de nutrientes para a C. langsdorffii. De modo geral, os resultados encontrados demonstraram que o manejo florestal foi ben?fico para a C. langsdorffii, pois possibilitou ganhos consider?veis de incremento ap?s a interven??o florestal, sem acarretar preju?zos relevantes na estrutura anat?mica, f?sica e qu?mica no lenho da esp?cie.

The purpose of this work was to study the composition and structure of parasites communities of the goatfish (M. argentinae), assess whether the temporal variation influences the parasitic fauna and verify its use as a tool for discrimination of possible stocks of this species throughout its geographical distribution, which includes the coast of Brazil and Argentina. During the period of March 2010 to July 2011, were collected 430 specimens of M. argentinae of three locations along the Brazilian coast and an area of the coast of Argentina. In statistics, the quantitative approach was made at the level of parasitic infrapopulations and ecological descriptors were calculated for each parasite species in each area. Species with prevalence >10% in at least one of the localities were analyzed in the ? ? (Chi-square) to test significant differences in prevalence between locations. ANOVA and a Tukey test a posteriori were performed to test for unequal samples. It was analyzed similarity indices of Jaccard and qualitative Bray-Curtis and quantitative and multivariate analysis. Discriminate analysis was used to detect differences between locations and identify species of parasites responsible for these differences. / Estudos pr?vios da fauna parasit?ria da Trilha (Mullus argentinae) em amostras provenientes do Brasil e da Argentina mostram uma significativa diversidade de esp?cies e sugerem que este recurso ictiol?gico ? um bom modelo para testar hip?teses de distribui??o de parasitos e seu uso como indicadores biol?gicos da presen?a de estoques ou de popula??es diferentes de hospedeiros e que permitam obter informa??es relevantes para um adequado manejo desta esp?cie. O prop?sito deste trabalho foi estudar a composi??o e estrutura das comunidades parasit?rias da Trilha (M. argentinae), avaliar se a varia??o temporal da amostragem influencia na fauna parasit?ria e verificar seu uso como ferramenta para a discrimina??o de poss?veis estoques desta esp?cie ao longo da sua distribui??o geogr?fica, que inclui o litoral do Brasil e da Argentina. Durante o per?odo de mar?o de 2010 a julho de 2011, foram coletados um total de 430 esp?cimes de M. argentinae de tr?s localidades do litoral brasileiro (Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul) e de uma localidade do litoral da Argentina (Mar Del Plata). A abordagem quantitativa foi feita em n?vel de infrapopula??es parasit?rias, sendo calculados os descritores quantitativos, para cada esp?cie de parasito de cada ?rea estudada. Para as esp?cies com preval?ncia >10% foram feitas an?lises de ?? (qui-quadrado) para testar diferen?as significantivas de preval?ncia entre localidades. ANOVA e um teste Tukey a posteriori foram feitos para testar se existe diferen?a entre grupos. Foram utilizados tamb?m os ?ndices de similaridade qualitativa de Jaccard e quantitativa de Bray-Curtis. Na an?lise multivariada, primeiramente desenvolveu-se uma an?lise de agrupamentos, que agrupa os parasitos pela abund?ncia de esp?cies existentes nas localidades. A An?lise discriminante foi usada para detectar diferen?as entre localidades e entre diferentes ?pocas de coleta e identificar esp?cies de parasitos respons?veis por estas diferen?as.

Pesquisa do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul - FAPERGS / Background/Aim: According to experimental data, interferon type I has a key role in innate immune response against influenza infection. Studies on humans are still scarce and the characterization of interferon response in children may help to identify patients at risk. Our aim is to compare respiratory levels of interferon-? and influenza disease severity in pediatric patients. Methods: Children aged less than five years of age with influenza-like illness seeking pediatric care within the first 72 hours of disease onset were prospectively included. Clinical and demographic data and respiratory secretions through nasal wash were obtained. Influenza infection was confirmed with Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction and respiratory levels of interferon-? were measured by ELISA. Enrolled individuals were followed until the end of disease. Patients whose influenza infection was excluded were used as control group. Results: Twenty four patients with confirmed influenza infection were included, five of them requiring hospitalization. Subtypes A(H3N2) and B were confirmed in ten and fourteen patients, respectively. Seventy-six patients without influenza, 39 of them hospitalized, were included as controls. Age younger than 6 months was significantly more frequent in individuals from both hospitalized groups compared to outpatients (59% vs 23.2%, p<0.01). All other clinical and demographical data were similar among groups. Median levels of interferon-? were significantly higher in outpatients with influenza than both inpatients with influenza and patient without influenza, hospitalized or not (p<0.001). Median in pg/ml (interquartile amplitude) were 263.2 (58.3-634), 0 (0-49), 0 (0-2.6) and 0 (0-19.4) in four groups above, respectively. Conclusion: Lower levels of interferon-? in patients with more severe influenza reinforce experimental evidence about its protective role in influenza infection severity. / Introdu??o/objetivo: Interferon tipo I exerce um papel central na resposta imune inata contra a infec??o por influenza de acordo com dados experimentais. Evid?ncias em humanos ainda s?o incipientes e a caracteriza??o da resposta do interferon pode auxiliar na estratifica??o de risco. Nosso objetivo ? comparar os n?veis de interferon-? em secre??es respirat?rias entre pacientes hospitalizados e ambulatoriais com infec??o por influenza confirmada laboratorialmente. M?todos: Foram inclu?dos prospectivamente pacientes com idade inferior a cinco anos com s?ndrome gripal atendidos no hospital com menos de 72 horas do in?cio do quadro cl?nico. Dados cl?nicos e demogr?ficos, al?m de secre??es respirat?rias atrav?s de lavado nasal foram coletados. A infec??o por influenza foi confirmada por Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction. N?veis respirat?rios de interferon-? foram aferidos por ELISA. Os pacientes inclu?dos, inclusive os n?o hospitalizados, foram seguidos at? o final do quadro cl?nico. Pacientes com infec??o por influenza descartada foram utilizados como grupo controle. Resultados: Vinte e quatro pacientes com infec??o por influenza confirmada foram inclu?dos, cinco destes hospitalizados. Os subtipos A(H3N2) e B foram confirmados em dez e quatorze pacientes, respectivamente. Setenta e seis pacientes sem influenza, 39 desses hospitalizados, foram utilizados como controles. A idade inferior a seis meses foi significativamente mais frequente nos pacientes hospitalizados, com ou sem influenza (59% vs 23.2%, p<0.01). Todas as outras vari?veis cl?nicas e demogr?ficas foram semelhantes entre os grupos. Os n?veis de interferon-? foram significativamente maiores em crian?as com influenza n?o hospitalizadas em compara??o com crian?as hospitalizadas com influenza e com os controles hospitalizados e n?o hospitalizados (p<0.001). A mediana em pg/ml (amplitude interquartil) foi 263.2 (58.3-634), 0 (0-49), 0 (0-2.6) e 0 (0-19.4) nos quatro grupos acima, respectivamente. Conclus?o: Os n?veis mais baixos de interferon-? nos pacientes com quadros mais graves de influenza refor?am evid?ncias experimentais sobre o papel protetor do interferon na infec??o por esse v?rus.

Despite its importance, this crop presents a high susceptibility to a wide range of pathogens, leading to an extensive yield loss. A potential approach for disease control in potato is the understanding of the mechanisms of resistance induction and their relation to strengthening of natural plant defenses. In this work, the effect of defense inducers (XTH and Acibenzolar-S-methyl - Bion?) and ethylene blocker (aminoethoxyvinylglycine AVG) in the plant metabolism was assessed. Biochemical markers for plant defense, such as POX and PPO enzymes, synthesis of phenolic compounds, flavonoid fraction and salicylic acid accumulation were also evaluated. Bion? resulted in a negative effect upon P. carotovorum inoculated plants, whilst XTH delayed disease progression. Plants cultivated in the presence of Bion+AVG showed an increase in PPO activity comparing to the control plants, although its activity was similar between XTH and Bion? plants. POX activity was promoted by Bion? at 24 hpi, however, at 72 hpi plants showed higher POX activity within XTH+AVG and Bion+AVG treated plants, compared with non-treated plants. In general, plants presented free SA levels 65% higher than conjugated one. The highest concentrations of SA (52.2 &#956;g/g) was found in Bion+AVG treated plants, whilst the lowest concentrations (4.8 &#956;g/g) were found in XTH and AVG treated plants. / A esp?cie Solanum tuberosum ? uma das esp?cies vegetais de maior import?ncia no mundo, sendo a batata o quarto alimento mais consumido. Por?m, apesar do uso extensivo de pesticidas, esta cultura ainda ? muito afetada por doen?as, acarretando grandes perdas econ?micas. Uma importante alternativa ao uso de qu?micos para o manejo das pragas, ? o fortalecimento das defesas naturais da planta atrav?s da promo??o de seus mecanismos de defesa. Neste trabalho foi avaliada a incid?ncia da doen?a causada por Pectobacterium carotovorum e o metabolismo vegetal relacionados ? defesa, tal como atividade das enzimas peroxidases (POX) e polifenoloxidases (PPO), s?ntese de compostos fen?licos, flavonoides e o ac?mulo de ?cido salic?lico (AS) livre e conjugado. Foram utilizados os indutores de defesa XTH e o Bion?, bem como o bloqueador da s?ntese de etileno, AVG (aminoetoxivinilglicina), em plantas de batata cultivadas in vitro. O tratamento com Bion? n?o promoveu a resist?ncia vegetal nas plantas inoculadas com P. carotovorum. Enquanto o uso do XTH foi eficiente na promo??o de resist?ncia das plantas, retardando o progresso da doen?a causada pela fitobact?ria. Em plantas cultivadas na presen?a de Bion+AVG, foi observado um aumento na atividade de PPO em compara??o com o controle, por?m a atividade desta enzima ? semelhante entre os tratamentos XTH e Bion?. Nas plantas do tratamento XTH+AVG a atividade da PPO se mant?m semelhante ?s plantas do controle e do tratamento XTH. A atividade da POX foi promovida pelo tratamento Bion? em 24 horas p?s-inocula??o (hpi), enquanto que os tratamentos XTH+AVG e Bion+AVG induziram a maior atividade desta enzima em 72 hpi. Apesar das diferen?as observadas nas atividades de PPO e POX, estas n?o apresentaram rela??o com a incid?ncia da doen?a nas plantas. Em geral, os n?veis de AS livre nos tecidos foi 65% maior que o AS conjugado. Em 24hpi, as plantas do tratamento Bion+AVG apresentaram os maiores n?veis de AS livre (52,2 &#956;g/g), enquanto os o tratamento XTH e AVG apresentaram os menores n?veis de AS (4,87 e 4,82 &#956;g/g, respectivamente).

Nowadays, beer trading occupies an important position in the economic market since it is the most consumed beverage in Brazil and around the world. Due to this economic significance, the search for more efficient processes that are able to keep the sensorial attributes to the final product represents a great interest for breweries. Fermentation is an important stage of the beer process since in this stage the products and by-products resulted from the yeast metabolism are formed. The detailed study of the fermentative stage of the beer production allows analyzing how the main process variables influence the fermentation and the way they interact each other. To reach this goal, mathematical modeling and computational simulation, were used in this work as a tool for studying the fermentative process. The goals of this study were: i) Select and reproduce through computational simulation, phenomenological models that describe the brewing process; ii) Investigate the effect of manipulate process variables (temperature, pressure and/or flows) over the dynamic behavior of the products and by-products of interest, and; iii) Propose a control strategy that be able to implement optimal temperature profiles in the beer fermentation process. A few dynamics mathematical models that describe the fermentation process were found in the literature. Based on the experimental validation and on the process variables considered, three phenomenological models were selected for the development of this work. It was observed that the manipulate process variables usually affect the dynamic of the fermentation temperature and, as a consequence, the dynamic of the other process variables. A simple control strategy, capable to heat up and refrigerate the fermentation vessel according to the process needs, was proposed in this work to better drive the fermentative process. The proposed control strategy shows very efficient, providing to the process operator facilities to the application of optimal temperature profiles in order to obtain a satisfactory fermentation and leading to a final product with appropriate sensorial attributes for the customer. / A cerveja ? a bebida alco?lica mais antiga do mundo e seu processamento vem evoluindo ao longo do tempo. Atualmente, a comercializa??o da cerveja ocupa uma posi??o de destaque no mercado econ?mico, pois ? a bebida alco?lica mais consumida no Brasil e no mundo. Devido a esta import?ncia econ?mica, a busca por processos mais eficientes e com capacidade de manter a qualidade sensorial do produto final ? de grande interesse para as cervejarias. A fermenta??o ? uma etapa importante do processo cervejeiro, pois ? nessa fase que se formam os produtos e sub-produtos do metabolismo das leveduras. O estudo detalhado sobre a etapa fermentativa da produ??o de cerveja permite analisar como as principais vari?veis de processo influenciam a fermenta??o e o modo como elas interagem. Para atingir esta meta, a modelagem matem?tica, aliada ? simula??o computacional, foi utilizada nessa disserta??o como ferramenta de estudo do processo fermentativo. Os objetivos desta disserta??o foram: i) Selecionar e reproduzir atrav?s de simula??o computacional modelos matem?ticos fenomenol?gicos da etapa de fermenta??o do processo de produ??o cervejeira; ii) Investigar o efeito das vari?veis manipul?veis de processo (temperatura, press?o e/ou vaz?es) sobre o comportamento din?mico dos produtos e subprodutos de interesse, e; iii) Propor uma estrat?gia de controle que seja capaz de implementar de modo eficiente perfis ?timos de temperatura no processo cervejeiro. Foram encontrados poucos modelos din?micos na literatura que representam a etapa fermentativa da produ??o da cerveja. Para o desenvolvimento dessa disserta??o foram utilizados tr?s modelos fenomenol?gicos escolhidos com base em sua valida??o experimental e nas vari?veis de processo consideradas. Observou-se que as vari?veis manipul?veis de processo normalmente influenciam a din?mica da temperatura da fermenta??o e, consequentemente, a din?mica das demais vari?veis do processo. Para a melhor condu??o do processo fermentativo uma estrat?gia de controle simples, capaz de aquecer e refrigerar o tanque de fermenta??o conforme a necessidade do processo, foi proposta nessa disserta??o. A estrat?gia de controle proposta se mostrou bastante eficiente, proporcionando ao operador a possibilidade da aplica??o de perfis ?timos de temperatura que proporcionem a condu??o satisfat?ria da fermenta??o cervejeira, levando a um produto final com os atributos sensoriais adequados para o consumidor.
