Semeadura direta com espécies arbóreas para recuperação de ecossistemas florestais
Ferreira, Robério Anastácio; Davide, Antonio Claudio; Bearzoti, Eduardo; Motta, Marcelo SouzaThe direct sowing to tropical forest restoration can be viable when the ecological and silvicultural aspects of species are known. This work evaluated the ef ect of breaking seed dormancy and a physical protector on the initial growth of riparian tree species. The experiment was carried out in a randomized blocks design, in a factorial (2x2), with four blocks and four plots for each treatment. The treatment to ...
Strength training session induces important changes on physiological, immunolog...
Fortunato, Ayla Karine; Pontes, Washington Martins; Souza, Débora Maria Soares de; Prazeres, Jéssica Santos Ferreira; Barbosa, Lucas Soares MarcucciStrength exercise is a strategy applied in sports and physical training processes. It may induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy. The hypertrophy is dependent on the eccentric muscle actions and on the inflammatory response. Here, we evaluate the physiological, immunological, and inflammatory responses induced by a session of strength training with a focus on predominance of the eccentric muscle actions. Twenty vol...
Influence of environmental factors and cultural methods on the content of N,N-D...
Cavalcanti, André Dias; Cardoso, Gabriele de Azevedo; Oliveira, Fernando Luiz Pereira de; Bearzoti, Eduardo; Okuma, Adriana AkemiPsychotria viridis is one of the species that produces N,N-dimethyltryptamine. Its decoction together with other species, such as Banisteriopsis caapi, produces ayahuasca, a beverage used for ritualistic and medicinal purposes. The goal of this study was to understand how environmental factors and cultivation methods influenced the content of N,N-dimethyltryptamine in P. viridis. Over all four seasons, leaf sam...
Evaluation of raw soapstone (steatite) as adsorbent of trace elements present i...
Silva, Karine Aparecida Louvera; Fernandes, Isabela da Costa; Bearzoti, Eduardo; Milani, Raquel Fernanda; Morgano, Marcelo AntonioThe impact of soapstone (steatite) upon inorganic element contaminant concentrations in alcoholic beverages was investigated. Concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb levels in 8 Brazilian spirits plus an alcoholic simulant were initially measured, and then measured following each 24 h cycle of exposure to raw soapstone cups, for a total of 4 cycles/sample. The results were compared to the levels established by ...
Evaluation of the generalized likelihood ratio test of hypotheses on the geneti...
Gonçalves, Renata Pires; Bearzoti, Eduardo; Ferreira, Daniel FurtadoStudies of genetic control in plants are carried out to characterize genetic effects and detect the existence of a major gene and/or genes of minor effects (polygenes). If the trait of interest is continuous, the likelihood can be constructed based on a model with mixtures of normal densities. Once exact tests are not evident with such models, the likelihood ratio test is generally used, using the chi-square ap...
