The results evidences long memory in volatility, which is more pronounced in Germany, Italy and France. On the other...
Photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and leaf water parameters were measured in six Portuguese maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars during and following a period of drought stress. The leaf relative water content (RWC) responded differently among cultivars but, except for cultivar PB369, recovered close to initial values after watering was restored. Photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance decreased with drou...
The purpose of this study was to verify the association between functional fitness (FF) and excessive fatness (EF) in aged women. Three hundred ninety four women, averaged 69.4 years of age (DP = 3.4 years), participated in the study. FF was measured by means of a battery of motor tests. EF was determined by corporal mass and height measurements. FF was compared with AAHPERD normative values. Chi-square test (p...
Springer - Series Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, vol. 79 ; In this work we intend to advance towards a computational model to hold up a Group Decision Support System for VirtualECare, a system aimed at sustaining online healthcare services, where Extended Logic Programs (ELP) will be used for knowledge re-presentation and reasoning. Under this scenario it is possible to evaluate the ELPs making in...
O teor de nitrato é um importante índice da qualidade dos alimentos, mas existem problemas na sua quantificação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar procedimentos de quantificação de nitrato em tecido vegetal. Em amostras de matéria seca da parte aérea de três cultivares de alface adubadas com cinco doses de nitrogênio, provenientes de experimento realizado em casa de vegetação, foi feita extração de nitrato...
Os objetivos deste trabalho foram selecionar extratores químicos para avaliação da disponibilidade de metais pesados em solos tratados com vermicomposto de lixo urbano e calcário, e verificar os efeitos destes insumos nos teores disponíveis de metais pesados em solos. Foram realizados dois ensaios em casa de vegetação. Em um deles, foi usado um Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico e, no outro, um Argissolo Vermelho...
CONTEXT: Helicobacter pylori eradication has become the standard treatment for peptic ulcer disease. Triple therapy with omeprazole plus two antibiotics has been used. Due to the lack of ideal treatment and the high rates of primary resistance to nitroimidazoles, the use of clarithromycin has been adopted.
