In this CT system, two different radioisotope sources, 192Ir (317 keV and 448 keV) and 137Cs (662 keV), were placed in a single lead collimator and several tomography measurements carried out. The multisource CT system was capable of determining as well as differentiating the attenuation coefficients of materials with two phases (gas and liquid). It was also ...

Guarana (Paullinia cupana var. sorbilis) is a plant native to the central Amazon basin. Roasted seed extracts have been used as medicinal beverages since pre-Colombian times, due to their reputation as stimulants, aphrodisiacs, tonics, as well as protectors of the gastrointestinal tract. Guarana plants are commercially cultivated exclusively in Brazil to supply the national carbonated soft-drink industry and natural product stores around the world.

Abstract Objectives : To check if ventilatory inefficiency is related to low cardiorespiratory fitness in the elderly and to identify the variable(s) of the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) best suited to determining this relationship. Methods : A retrospective analysis of 1357 CPETs was performed. Sixty-one subjects over 60 years old with a ventilatory efficiency slope (VE/VCO2) index >35 were selected and divided into two groups: low cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2<80% predicted) (n=22) and normal ...

The rotational dynamics of the mixture composed of the deep eutectic solvent (DES) reline, and the macrocyclic oligosaccharide β-cyclodextrin (βCD) is investigated at the molecular level by NMR relaxation spectroscopy with and without known amounts of water. The progressive addition of water affects the rotational motion of the DES and βCD in different ways. The findings are consistent with βCD interacting primarily with the added water and reline preserving some degree of residual molecular network. ...

A greenhouse experiment was carried out with perennial soybeans in a dark-red latosol, using a 2 5 factorial design, with 3 replications. The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of micro-nutrients, magnesium and lime on growth and symbiotic N 2 fixation in perennial soybeans. The following criteria were used to determine the best treatment: dry matter production, total N, nodule weight and % of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in the stems and leaves. Lime had a positive effect on dry matter production ...
