Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate growth, lipid peroxidation, and activity of antioxidative enzymes in sorghum seedlings grown under salt stress from artificially aged and primed seeds. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replications per treatment, in a 2×2×2 factorial arrangement that consisted of eight treatments: two seed vigor levels (aged or not), two seed types (primed or not), and two salinity levels (0 and 100 mM NaCl). In low physiological quality (aged) ...

Examples of bioactive peptides derived from internal sequences of proteins are known for decades. The great majority of these findings appear to be fortuitous rather than the result of a deliberate and methodological-based enterprise. In the present work, we describe the identification and the biological activities of novel antimicrobial peptides unveiled as internal fragments of various plant proteins founded on our hypothesis-driven search strategy. All putative encrypted antimicrobial peptides ...

Desde eras imemoriais, o homem tem feito esforços denodados para dilatar o seu tempo de vida na terra. A principal luta que se instala a nível das culturas é a de buscar maiores e melhores condições para prolongar a juventude, conservar a maturidade e retardar a velhice. Platão reconhecia a importância da “cultura física para o prolongamento da vida e lamentava não ter dado ainda na mocidade a devida atenção aos exercícios físicos”. Cícero, entre os romanos, afirmava: “As melhores armas contra a velhice ...

Sacubitril/valsartan reduces mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) when compared with enalapril. However, it is unknown the effect of both treatments on exercise capacity. We compared sacubitril/valsartan versus enalapril in patients with HFrEF based on peak oxygen consumption (VO2) and 6-minute walk test (6-MWT).We included 52 participants with HFrEF with a left ventricular ejection fraction <40% to receive either sacubitril/valsartan (target dose of 400 mg ...

One of the challenges concerning dynamic optical networks is to increase the level of network automation to allow capabilities devoid of any human intervention. The adaptive control of optical amplifiers operating point (ACOP) is an effort to enable the network control and management to have “plug-and-play” capabilities. ACOP approaches aim to autonomously define the gain of the amplifier after changes in the amplifier input power. The straight-forward implementation of ACOP approaches is as an application ...

Several strategies have been employed in the breeding of passion fruit with a view to the generation of superior progeny.In an effort to develop more precise methods in breeding, we compared the efficiency of the Post-Hoc Blocking Row-Col technique, which is an a posteriori technique that consists of the overlapping of a block structure on the original-field design, with a randomized-block design and compared different selection strategies within and among half-sib families, using the REML/BLUP ...

Aim : To present 10-year experience performing this operation in advanced malignant tumors. Methods : This is a retrospective descriptive study. From 2004 to 2014, 35 hepatopancreatoduodenectomies were performed in three different institutions. The most common indication was advanced biliary carcinoma in 24 patients (68.5%). Results: Eighteen patients had gallbladder ...

The assessment of optical networks considering physical impairments is frequently accomplished by using time-consuming analysis tools. We propose in this paper to use artificial neural networks to predict the blocking probability of optical networks with dynamic traffic by using topological metrics and general information of the physical layer. The training process is accomplished by supervised learning based on a historical database of networks. We also propose a new and simple topological property ...

Physical topology design of optical networks is frequently accomplished by using evolutionary approaches. However, fitness evaluation for this type of problems is time consuming and the overall optimization process presents a huge execution time. In this paper we propose a new method that uses a multi-objective evolutionary approach to handle the design of all-optical networks. We focused on the simultaneous optimization of the network topology and the device specifications in order to minimize ...

The adequate selection of indicator groups of biodiversity is an important aspect of the systematic conservation planning. However, these assessments differ in the spatial scales, in the methods used and in the groups considered to accomplish this task, which generally produces contradictory results. The quantification of the spatial congruence between species richness and complementarity among different taxonomic groups is a fundamental step to identify potential indicator groups. Using a constructive ...

A wide range of evidences indicate climate change as one the greatest threats to biodiversity in the 21st century. The impacts of these changes, which may have already resulted in several recent species extinction, are species-specific and produce shifts in species phenology, ecological interactions, and geographical distributions. Here we used cutting-edge methods of species distribution models combining thousands of model projections to generate a complete and comprehensive ensemble of forecasts ...

Land-use intensification causes species losses reducing phylogenetic and functional trait diversity as well as ecosystem function. Phylogenetic (PD) and functional (FD) diversity of regional assemblages have been identified as a key to understanding ecosystem and community functioning, yet it has been rarely included in conservation planning. The use of indicator groups to represent species richness is by far the most common measure used for developing plans to conserve current and future biodiversity. ...

In a world limited by data availability and limited funds for conservation, scientists and practitioners must use indicator groups to define spatial conservation priorities. Several studies have evaluated the effectiveness of indicator groups, but still little is known about the consistency in performance of these groups in different regions, which would allow their a priori selection.We systematically examined the effectiveness and the consistency of nine indicator groups in representing mammal ...

In all-optical networks, signals are transmitted through optical physical layer with no regeneration. Therefore, noise accumulation along lightpath can severely impair optical signal-to-noise ratio. Impairment aware routing and wavelength assignment algorithms (IA-RWA) can take into account these effects, improving the network performance. In this paper we describe a fast and high performance adaptive weight function to be used as the metric for the routing algorithm in optical networks constrained ...
