The objective of this work was to evaluate the sperm motility of 13 Steindachneridion parahybae males using open-source software (ImageJ/CASA plugin). The sperm activation procedure and image capture were initiated after semen collection. Four experimental phases were defined from the videos captured of each male as follows: (i) standardization of a dialogue box generated by the CASA plugin within ImageJ; (ii) frame numbers used to perform the analysis; (iii) post-activation motility between 10 and ...

True toads of the genus Rhinella are among the most common and diverse group of Neotropical anurans. These toads are widely distributed throughout South America, inhabiting a great diversity of environments and ecoregions. Currently, however, the genus is defined solely on the basis of molecular characters, and it lacks a proper diagnosis. Although some phenetic species groups have traditionally been recognized within Rhinella, the monophyly of some of them have been rejected in previous phylogenetic ...

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is used as a marker of follicle population numbers and potential fertility in several species including horses but limited data exist across the lifespan. No one has decreased ovarian reserve experimentally to investigate whether a corresponding, quantitative decrease in AMH results. Concentrations of AMH across the lifespan were compiled from 1101 equine females sampled from birth to >33 years of age. Young and old mares (averaging 6 and 19 years) were hemi-ovariectomized ...

ABSTRACT In foam-mat drying, the liquid food is foamed by the addition of a foaming agent, for example, albumin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adjustment of mathematical models to foam mat drying curves of guava pulp. The fits were evaluated using samples with 4 and 8% albumin (m m-1) and drying temperatures of 75, 80 and 85 °C. The samples were placed on aluminum trays. Drying was carried out in a tray dryer. The Lewis, Page, Midilli and Logarithmic models were fitted to the experimental ...

We investigated the environmental performance of white and brown parboiled rice types produced under two alternative cultivation systems, namely minimal tillage and organic farming, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The study was carried out in the most important rice production region of Latin America, the south of Brazil. The functional unit for analysis was defined as 1 kg of protein based on dry bases of grain. Results showed that the cultivation stage was the hotspot of the cycle for both cultivation ...

Small vertical-flow constructed wetland units comprising the first stage of the French system were studied in Brazil for the treatment of raw sewage. Planted and unplanted units and different feeding strategies were tested. In the first phase, hourly batches of a daily flow of 13 m3 d−1 were applied over three alternating units, resulting in an average hydraulic loading rate (HLR) on the full system of 0.15 m3 m−2 d−1. A second phase, aimed at reducing land requirements, kept the same daily flow ...

New concepts in epigenetics, microRNAs, and gene expression analysis have significantly enhanced knowledge of cancer pathogenesis over the last decade. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by base pairing with target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), resulting in the repression of translation or the degradation of mRNA. To compare the carcinogenic process in tumors with different prognoses, we used real-time RT-PCR to evaluate the miRNA expression profiles of 24 triple- ...

A new, simple and versatile cloud-point extraction (CPE) methodology has been developed for the separation and preconcentration of copper and nickel. The metals in the initial aqueous solution were complexed with 2-(2′-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(N,N-diethyl)aminophenol (BDAP) and Triton X-114 was added as surfactant. Dilution of the surfactant-rich phase with acidified methanol was performed after phase separation, and the copper and nickel contents were measured by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. ...

Phase-shifting is one of the most useful methods of phase recovery in digital interferometry in the estimation of small displacements, but miscalibration errors of the phase shifters are very common. In practice, the main problem associated with such errors is related to the response of the phase shifter devices, since they are dependent on mechanical and/or electrical parts. In this work, a novel technique to detect and measure calibration errors in phase-shifting interferometry, when an unexpected ...

Abstract In this article we focus on post‐failure control of a mechanical manipulator from the point of view of optimal control, and present a novel method for controlling the positions of the failed, passive joints in an optimal way. It used the so‐called coupling index as an optimization criterion to minimize the energy spent by the underactuated manipulator. Although the optimization is performed locally, the results indicate the validity and feasibility of the proposed theory. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, ...
