In this research we assess the reading comprehension of individuals confronted with different forms of organization, content and textual context. Based on the theory of the cognitive processes of reading Kleiman (2004), in the definition of the characteristics of hypertext of Marcuschi (1999, 2001, 2005, 2007) and the Theory of Mental Spaces and Conceptual Integration of Fauconnier (1994, 1997, 1998 , 2002), we...
Epidendrum L. (Laeliinae, Orchidaceae) has about 1,800 species distributed in the Neotropical regions. Their species present a high degree of morphological variation, ecological interactions and diversity in the chromosome number, which, at times, makes it difficult to establish infrageneric classifications and taxonomic organization in the genus. The aim of this research was to discuss the chromosomal number a...
This objective of this study to evaluate the effect of the different proportions of cactus pear silage (Opuntia fícus-indica mill) and the intermittent supply of water in sheep with no defined racial pattern on carcass characteristics and meat quality. This study used 36 male sheep, with no defined racial pattern were used, with a mean initial weight of 19.8 ± 2.1 kg and mean age of 6 months, distributed in a r...
The objective of this study was to verify if the ambient temperature and dietary energy levels influence the morphometric characteristics of goat milk fat globules. The experiment was conducted at the Animal Bioclimatology Research Unit of the Federal University of Paraíba, Campus de Areia, State of Paraíba, Brazil. Twelve alpine brown multiparous goats with a mean age of 4.02 ± 1.78 years, live weight 41.8 ± 4...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of water restriction and low diets and high energy in thermoregulatory responses and feeding behavior of crossbred sheep of St. Agnes. 40 animals were used, not castrated, with average body weight of 18.85 +2.80 kg and approximately five months old, kept in individual stalls. The experimental diets were composed of Tifton 85 hay (Cynodon spp.) And concentra...
The Caatinga Biome is unique to Brazil and constitutes one of the richest in biodiversity, despite the constant anthropic disturbances. On the other hand, it is necessary to recover the degraded areas, especially in places with an accelerated process of devastation. The objective of this work was to study the effects of abiotic factors on seed physiology and seedlings of Luetzelburgia auriculata (German) Ducke ...
The consumption of mandacaru fruits (Cereus jamacaru) in natura is almost non-existent, even the fruit having benefits for human health and nutrition, serving mostly for animal feed in times of prolonged drought; works that configure the ideal stages of harvesting these fruits can serve as subsidies to be used in cooking in the future. In addition, the occurrence of this species is diffuse, from the coast to th...
The use of specialized genotypes for crossbreeding with native breeds together with a technified production system may be a viable alternative to improve the quality of the sheep carcass and to add value to their products. The objective of this study was to characterize the commercial cuts of the carcass of Santa Inês lambs, ½ Dorper x ½ Santa Inês and ¾ Dorper x Santa Santa Inês lambs in confinement. It were u...
