1. Comparison of carbon sequestration potential in agricultural and afforestation farming systems
In the last few decades, many forests have been cut down to make room for cultivation and to increase food or energy crops production in developing countries. In this study, carbon sequestration and wood production were evaluated on afforested farms by integrating the Gaussian diameter distribution model and exponential diameter-height model derived from sam

2. A utilização de sistemas fotovoltaicos de bombeamento para irrigação em pequenas propriedades rurais / Use of photovoltaic pumping systems in irrigation for small rural properties
Pilot projects with photovoltaic irrigation systems have been implemented around the world to evaluate the reliability and feasibility of this application. This paper has devoted attention to compiling information about projects with photovoltaic pumping systems for use in irrigation. From this compilation, a synthesis of experience, the key barriers and the

3. Mapeamento de unidades experimentais com GPS: caso de estudo da Embrapa Cerrados.
ABSTRACT: The major objective of this work was to map the research units and the infrastructure available in the Embrapa Cerrados experimental farm in Planaltina, Federal District. More than 190 identities were observed and mapped through the use of GPS portable receiver with an accuracy of about five meters. The UTM coordinates obtained by the GPS were stor

4. Desenvolvimento e aplicação de procedimento metodológico em suporte ao planejamento participativo para redução de perda de solos em pequenas bacias hidrográficas com emprego da EUPS
The agrosilvipastoral activity has impacted negatively the environment worldwide, promoting soil erosion and sediment settling in water bodies. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) estimates the rates of laminar erosion (A; in ton/acre/year) by the multiplication of six parameters: A = RKLSCP (R: rainfall erosivity factor; K = soil erodibility factor; S:

5. Aspectos epidemiológicos da febre maculosa no município de Quirinópolis, Goiás, Brasil / Epidemiological characteristics of spotted fever in the municipality of Quirinópolis, Goias, Brazil
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (FM), a zoonosis transmitted to humans through the bite of ticks infected with Rickettsia spp. Especially R. rickettsii, emerged in the United States in the late 19th century, been taking place in Brazil in the mid 20th century. Since then, in Brazil the disease, initially diagnosed in São Paulo, became identified focally in som

6. A erosão costeira e sua influência sobre a atividade petrolífera: alternativas sustentáveis na mitigação de impactos ambientais
The study area consist in high sensitivity environments located on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeast Brazil. The barrier island are the main geomorphological features on the coastal landscape, being naturally instable and surrounded by industrial activities like oil fields, salt industry, shrimp farms and urban areas sometimes installed pa

7. AGRO CLIMATIC ZONING FOR THE SUGAR-CANE CROP IN THE RIO GRANDE DO SUL/BRAZIL THROUGH OF THE GEOPROCESSING: CASE STUDY TO THE CONCIUL OF JAGUARI / ESTUDO DO POTENCIAL CLIMÁTICO PARA CANA-DE-AÇÚCAR (Sacharum ssp.) NO RIO GRANDE DO SUL POR MEIO DE GEOPROCESSAMENTO: ESTUDO DE CASO NO MUNICÍPIO DE JAGUARI
This work approaches an agro climatic zoning for the sugar cane crop (Sacharum ssp.) in the State of the Rio Grande do Sul Brazil through techniques of geoprocessing. The study was organized in thematic chapters including, in first, all municipalities of the State and, in a second moment, a rectangle centered in the municipality of Jaguari, main producer of

8. AvaliaÃÃo dos procedimentos de introduÃÃo do Pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) na regiÃo Nordeste: retrospectiva histÃrica, situaÃÃo atual e perspectivas futuras / Evaluation of procedures for submitting Pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) in the Northeast: historical overview, current status and future prospects
The national fish farming production is vastly increasing, especially in northeastern Brazil. There is currently a demand for new management techniques for native species. This is because most of Brazilian production is based on farming of exotic species. The bonytongue is a native species with great potential for farming. The bonytongue was first introduced

9. Lung function and respiratory symptoms in pig farmers.
In a pilot study to investigate the health effects of swine confinement work on the respiratory tract pulmonary function tests and a questionnaire for respiratory symptoms were used. Complete data, including qualitative exposure information, were gathered for 132 owners of fattening, breeding, or closed pig farms. All measured pulmonary function values, exce

10. Use of Pooled Fecal Culture for Sensitive and Economic Detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Infection in Flocks of Sheep
Ovine Johne's disease, or paratuberculosis, occurs in many countries. In Australia, surveillance using serology is used as part of a control program, but the testing regime is costly relative to its sensitivity. For this reason, culturing of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in fecal samples pooled from a number of sheep was evaluated. Initially, t

11. Characterization by 16S rRNA Sequence Analysis of Pseudomonads Causing Blotch Disease of Cultivated Agaricus bisporus
Bacterial blotch of Agaricus bisporus has typically been identified as being caused by either Pseudomonas tolaasii (brown blotch) or Pseudomonas gingeri (ginger blotch). To address the relatedness of pseudomonads able to induce blotch, a pilot study was initiated in which pseudomonads were selectively isolated from mushroom farms throughout New Zealand. Thir
