Foram incluídos estudos originais, disponíveis nas línguas inglesa e portuguesa. Elegeram-se 13 artigos para a composição dos resultados.

Multimodel neural networks using socioeconomic variables for the prediction of residential electric consumption

This work intends to focus on the use of Multimodel Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for the projection of the residential electric demand, taking into account that this is the basis for an adequate planning of electricity distribution networks. The ANNs were developed in MATLAB®, trained according to the data recorded, and the final results of the different regions of study were compared with the official data provided by the UPME for the year 2017.

Aquatic macrophyte and brewery effluent: dynamic and perspectives

Biological treatment consists on using living organisms to remove pollutes from substrates. This research aimed at evaluating and comparing the efficiency of two macrophyte species in removing polluting substances of brewery effluent, as a sustainable technologic alternative, using natural resources. The design was a system experimental in mesocosmos (open top tanks of 100 L) composed by two treatments represented by each specie (Salvinia molesta and Limnobiumlaevigatum) with four repetitions each one.

Defensin Gene Expression Levels (CBD1 and CBD103) in skin scrapings of the poodle dogs with and without dermatitis

Defensins represent an important group of antimicrobial peptides and are expressed in the skin and other tissues of various mammalian species. These peptides participate in innate immunity, aiding in the immune response. The objective of this work was to compare the levels of β-defensin gene expressions (cBD1 and cBD103) in skin scrapings of the Poodle dogs with and without dermatitis. Eight dogs with dermatitis and 13 healthy dogs from the Veterinary Hospital and privately owned had collected skin scrapings. RNA extraction was obtained by Trizol® reagent.

Effect of supplementing rhodes grass hay with dried calliandra leaves and common vetch hay on the performance of growing dairy goat crosses in kenya

A study was conducted to determine the effect of supplementing basal Rhodes grass hay with dried Calliandra leaves and common Vetch hay on growing dairy goats on voluntary feed intake and growth rate under a confined feeding system. A total of twelve weaned male Toggenburg crosses aged between 3 and 4 months were randomly allocated to 3 dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design. T1: Rhodes grass hay as the control, T2: 30% Calliandra + Basal diet, T3: 30% Vetch + Basal diet. The initial 10 days were allowed for adaptation to the diets and data collected for 8 weeks.
