Generating fuzzy rules by learning from olive tree transpiration measurement - ...

The present study aims at developing an intelligent system of automating data analysis and prediction embedded in a fuzzy logic algorithm (FAUSY) to capture the relationship between environmental vari- ables and sap flow measurements (Granier method). Environmental thermal gradients often interfere with Granier sap flow measurements since this method uses heat as a tracer, thus introducing a bias in transpirati...

Anaerobic biodegradability of category 2 animal by-products : methane potential...

Category 2 animal by-products that need to be sterilized with steam pressure according Regulation (EC) 1774/2002 are studied. In this work, 2 sets of experiments were performed in mesophilic conditions: (i) biomethane potential determination testing 0.5%, 2.0% and 5.0% total solids (TS), using sludge from the anaerobic digester of a wastewater treatment plant as inoculum; (ii) biodegradability tests at a consta...

Effect of sodium and nitrogen on yield function of irrigated maize in Southern ...

Salinization and nitrate leaching are two of the leading threats to the environment of the European Mediterranean regions. Inefficient use of water and fertilizers has led to a nitrate increase in the aquifers and reduction in crop yields caused by salts. In this study, a triple emitter source irrigation system delivers water, salt (Na+), and fertilizer (N) applications to maize (Zea mays L.). The objective of ...

Contamination of Zeolites Used in Oxygen Production by PSA: Effects of Water an...

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is one of the technologies used for producing oxygen from air. Besides the cycles employed, the adsorbent used plays an important role. Many adsorbents are nowadays available showing different adsorption properties. The adsorbent contamination that may occur in a working PSA unit has a great impact on the performance of the separation; it is then important to know the behavior of...

Proteômica e sepse: novas perspectivas para o diagnóstico

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O diagnóstico e o tratamento da sepse continuam a desafiar a todos; e desenvolver formas mais precisas de abordagem são absolutamente necessárias. O objetivo deste estudo foi empregar técnicas proteômicas, eletroforese bidimensional e espectrometria de massa, para verificar a expressão diferencial de proteínas, em soro de pacientes com sepse comparado com controles saudáveis. MÉTODO: ...

Anthocyanin pigments in strawberry

The anthocyanin composition was analysed in strawberry fruits from five different cultivars (cv. Eris, Oso Grande, Carisma, Tudnew and Camarosa). Twenty-five defined anthocyanin pigments were detected, most of them containing Pelargonidin (Pg) as aglycone; some cyanidin (Cy) derivatives were also found. Glucose and rutinose were the usual substituting sugars, although arabinose and rhamnose were also tentativel...

Efeito da condição corporal ao parto sobre a produção e composição do leite, a ...

Avaliaram-se os efeitos do escore da condição corporal ao parto sobre a produção e composição do leite, a curva de lactação e o padrão de mobilização de reservas corporais em vacas da raça Holandesa. Foram utilizadas 51 vacas, sendo 13 primíparas e 38 multíparas, distribuídas em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, segundo a ordem de partos - primíparas e multíparas - e a classe de escore da condição corporal ao...

Flavanol-anthocyanin condensed pigments in plant extracts

Pigments resulting from the direct condensation of anthocyanins and flavanols are usually associated with reactions taking place during processing and storage of plant-derived foods and beverages and have been particularly studied in aged red wines. In this paper, small amounts of flavanol-anthocyanin condensed pigments are found in different plant extracts. Structures are suggested for 10 such condensed pigmen...

Erosão hídrica em um Nitossolo Háplico submetido a diferentes sistemas de manej...

O manejo do solo influencia a cobertura e a rugosidade na superfície, constituindo-se no principal fator que afeta a erosão hídrica. Utilizando um simulador de chuvas de braços rotativos, foram aplicados, no campo, três testes de chuva simulada no cultivo do milho e três no do feijão, com intensidade constante de 64 mm h-1 e energia cinética de 0,2083 MJ ha-1 mm-1 , no Planalto Sul Catarinense, entre março de 2...
