The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of Zen meditation on blood pressure (BP) and quality of life in elderly subjects.A total of 59 volunteers (21 men and 38 women), aged ≥60 years with systolic BP between 130 and 159 mmHg and diastolic BP between 85 and 99 mmHg, were randomly divided into a meditation group (MG), n = 28 and a control group (CG), n = 31. The MG meditated twice a day for 20 min for 3 months, and the CG remained on a waiting list. The BP levels were measured monthly in both groups. ...

In the past, it was thought that hearing loss patients with residual low-frequency hearing would not be good candidates for cochlear implantation since insertion was expected to induce inner ear trauma. Recent advances in electrode design and surgical techniques have made the preservation of residual low-frequency hearing achievable and desirable. The importance of preserving residual low-frequency hearing cannot be underestimated in light of the added benefit of hearing in noisy atmospheres and ...

O comportamento de trinta e cinco genótipos de soja foi estudado em condições de campo, em Campinas, SP, em relação ao ataque dos percevejos pentatomídeos Euschistus heros (F.), Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood) e Nezara viridula (L.). A infestação natural do campo experimental foi suplementada com a liberação de percevejos adultos. Em 1983/1984, o dano médio sofrido pelos genótipos foi moderado e, em 1984/1985, severo. Três critérios foram utilizados para avaliar a resistência das variedades: a porcentagem ...

The National Program for Production and Use of Biodiesel (PNPB), launched in Brazil, is based on the diversification of its feedstock and social inclusion. Among the various oilseeds, palm was identified as the ideal one for the Northern region. However, the participation of palm is still not representative in the Brazilian biodiesel matrix. The key industrial challenges to promote oil palm in the biodiesel sector (as well as surpass them) are represented in the data presented herein. The current ...

High-gravity (HG) brewing has broader application to succeed on beer differentiation and production optimization. However, such process imposes a handicap to yeasts, which must be able to deal with stressful conditions in fermentation. In this work, we assessed different physiological traits of 24 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated from Brazilian bioethanol distilleries for the selection of novel starters for HG brewing. Five yeast strains were selected with ability to overcome different stressors ...

This paper proposed a framework for the analysis of continuous gas lift systems using an optimization algorithm coupled to a stationary two-phase flow network model. The objective function can consider the annualized capital costs on compressor, turbine and gas pipelines, the operating costs related to fuel and the revenue from produced oil. The interaction among wells, production lines and riser is properly evaluated by a stationary two-phase flow simulator for pipe networks composed by mass balances ...

Karyotypes of 7 taxa of the rodent genus Oligoryzomys trapped in 33 localities from an area ranging from 01°N to 32°S in Brazil were analyzed. Three species were trapped exclusively in the Cerrado biome: O. stramineus, diploid number (2n) = 52, fundamental number (herein, number of autosomal arms; FN) = 68; O. eliurus, 2n = 62, with 2 fundamental numbers, FN = 64 and 66; and Oligoryzomys sp., 2n = 70, FN = 74. In the Amazon, we caught O. cf. messorius, 2n = 56, FN = 58, and O. microtis, 2n = 66, FN = 74. Oligoryzomys ...

Pain and inflammation are unpleasant experiences that usually occur as a result of tissue damage. Despite the number of existing analgesic drugs, side effects limit their use, stimulating the search for new therapeutic agents. In this sense, five hydrazone derivatives (H1, H2, H3, H4, and H5), with general structure R 1 R 2 C = NNR 3 R 4 , were synthesized with molecular modification strategies. In this paper, we describe the ability of hydrazone derivatives to attenuate nociceptive behavior and the ...

Here, we describe the topography and histology of the tongue, and compare it to that of other xenarthrans and other myrmecophagous eutherian mammals. The tongue of Vermilingua is long and slender, with an apical protuberance, which differs between Myrmecophagidae and Cyclopes didactylus . In the former, the rostral region is conical, and in the latter, it is dorsoventrally compressed, as observed ...

Software-Defined Networks, in its essence, are the separation of the data and control planes of switching devices. The OpenFlow (OF) protocol is the most popular SDN protocol today, being available in many switches. This is due to the low implementation cost as well as the potential for innovative solutions in the network. Although OF is being used in many research papers and production networks, as far as we know, no work on the literature performs an extensive evaluation of the OpenFlow data planes. ...
