The analysis of geographic patterns in genetic variation has been one of the most important current tools to understand ecological and evolutionary processes underlying population structure. However, inferring such processes from population data may be misleading if biased geographic samples are analyzed. Here we expand previous analyses of Eugenia dysenterica population structure in Brazilian Cerrado, analyzing a larger number of populations distributed throughout a broader geographic region covering ...

Abstract Aim Spatial autocorrelation analysis of genetic diversity was combined with ecological niche modelling ( ENM ) to better infer how ecological and evolutionary processes underlie population structure in Eugenia dysenterica, a widely distributed tree in the ‘Cerrado’ region of Central Brazil. Location ‘Cerrado’ region, Central Brazil. Methods Data were derived from 11 microsatellite loci in 23 populations of E. dysenterica , totalling 249 allele frequencies. The expected heterozygosity ( He ) within ...

Glucose, fructose, sucrose, free asparagine, and free glutamine were analyzed in 74 potato samples from 17 potato cultivars grown in 2002 at various locations in Switzerland and different farming systems. The potential of these potatoes for acrylamide formation was measured with a standardized heat treatment. These potentials correlated well with the product of the concentrations of reducing sugars and asparagine. Glucose and fructose were found to determine acrylamide formation. The cultivars showed ...

Background: A malfunction in the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is associated with obesity in rare genetic syndromes; setmelanotide is a new drug that activates this receptor and is being used to treat severe obesity. This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of setmelanotide for weight loss in severe obesity linked to human MC4R deficiency. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane for randomized and nonrandomized clinical trials using setmelanotide. We considered a p-value ≤ 0. ...

Bulk Co-doped ZnO (Zn1−xCoxO) samples were prepared and studied with particular emphasis on their compositions, structures, and magnetic properties. A detailed microstructural analysis was conducted to investigate the nature of Co incorporation into the wurtzite ZnO matrix. The Zn1−xCoxO ceramic samples were prepared using the standard solid-state reaction method with different Co molar concentrations of up to 30%. A Co solubility limit of approximately 23% was determined. For samples with Co concentrations ...

The nature of the room temperature ferromagnetism in dilute magnetic oxides is still a matter of debate. However, there is a consensus that structural point defects play an important role to achieve a desired long range ferromagnetic order. In this report we have clearly established a correlation between an observed room temperature ferromagnetism and defects at zinc sites for Mn-doped ZnO (Zn0.93Mn0.03O) samples prepared by the solid state reaction method and subject to post-annealing under reducing ...

U–Mo alloys are a promising alternative in high-density fuel materials for use in research and test reactors, due to its resistance to swelling associated with the presence of the metastable γ-phase in the microstructure. It has been reported that increasing additions of Mo cause a beneficial delay in the decomposition of the γ-phase in U–Mo alloys during isothermal heat treatments. Analyses emphasized high temperature aging (>400 °C), where the microstructural evolution features were followed by low ...

Abstract LaAlO3 single crystals grown under hydrothermal conditions and co-doped with Ce and Dy atoms have been recently reported to show high thermoluminescent (TL) outputs for ultraviolet (UV) radiation fields ( Oliveira et al., 2011 ). Due to this property, they have been considered for further investigation for applications in UV dosimetry. Encouraged by these results, we start an investigation about the TL properties of polycrystalline LaAlO3 grown by an alternative method. In this method, equimolar ...

Hydrogenated bulk Zn1−xCoxO samples were synthesized via standard solid-state reaction route with Co molar concentrations up to 15 at.%. Magnetic characterization demonstrates a room temperature ferromagnetic behavior associated to a paramagnetic Curie–Weiss component. Detailed microstructural analysis was carried out to exclude the presence of extrinsic sources of ferromagnetism. The magnetization increases linearly as a function of Co concentration. Hall measurements reveal an insulating character ...

Bulk Zn1−xCoxO samples were synthesized via standard solid-state reaction route with different Co molar concentrations up to 21%. A detailed microstructural analysis was carried out to investigate alternative sources of ferromagnetism, such as secondary phases and nanocrystals embedded in the bulk material. Conjugating different techniques we confirmed the Zn replacement by Co ions in the wurtzite ZnO structure, which retains, however, a high crystalline quality. No segregated secondary phases neither ...

Abstract Due to the complexity of management of plant-parasitic nematodes in cash crops, the use of non-chemical methods, such as rotation with green manures, has increased in recent years. However, data about the host status of green manures for lesion nematodes are scarce. Thus, two glasshouse trials were carried out to evaluate the host status of some green manures for two isolates of Pratylenchus brachyurus, a root-lesion nematode often found attacking soybean, maize and cotton in Brazil. Green ...

Although several generalist species of Pergalumna are known to be nematode predators, the potential of oribatid mites as natural enemies of phytonematodes has been underestimated. The objective of this work was to estimate the consumption rate of a Pergalumna sp. when feeding on two major pest nematodes, Meloidogyne javanica and Pratylenchus coffeae, under laboratory conditions. A new method was used, in which live nematodes are offered to mites and subsequently consumption is quantified based on ...

Oxygen diffusion coefficients in pure and doped ZnO polycrystals were determined by means of the gas-solid isotope exchange method using the isotope 18O as oxygen tracer. The diffusion experiments were performed from 900 to 1000 °C, under an oxygen pressure of 10(5) Pa. After the diffusion annealings, the 18O diffusion profiles were determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry. The results of the experiments show that oxygen diffusion in Li-doped ZnO is similar to the oxygen diffusion in pure ZnO, ...

The influence of grain-boundaries on uranium and oxygen diffusion in polycrystalline UO2 has been investigated. Our results show that between 1498°C and 1697°C, in H2 atmosphere, uranium diffusion in UO2 grain-boundaries is about five orders of magnitude greater than uranium volume diffusion, in the same experimental conditions. Between 605°C and 750°C, in H2/N2/H2O atmosphere, the oxygen diffusion coefficients measured in polycrystalline and single crystalline UO2 are similar, and correspond to ...

In calves, neonatal mortality and disease susceptibility are greatly influenced by failure in passive immunization, normally provided by colostrum ingestion just after birth. Formulations projected to replace natural colostrum have not been successful, and one of the possible reasons for such failure is that orally administered Ig are probably digested in the gastrointestinal tract, so they are not absorbed as intact functional molecules. With the aim of finding an adequate colostrum substitute, ...
