Piper aduncum L., has great impotence in folk medicine and agriculture (insecticide and fungicide) due to the presence of essential oil in its structures, being mainly in the stem and leaves. Despite the commercial importance of this species, little is known about its propagation mechanisms. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different substrates on the rooting of P. aduncum cuttings, taken from different portions of the plant, opposing these results with the anatomical characteristics.

There are more than 200 Human Papilloma Virus serotypes, or commonly called HPV (Human Papillomavirus), they participate in a frequent number of pathologies that can affect various organs of the human body. Among high-risk HPVs, serotypes 16 and 18 can be highlighted, since most of them are associated with potentially pre-neoplastic lesions in certain anogenital carcinomas, with high tropism for cervical cells.

O crisântemo (Dendranthemagrandiflora), cultivado em vaso é uma das plantas mais populares no Brasil. O Agrosilício ® e o silicato de potássio são fontes de silício, embora esse não seja um elemento essencial para a nutrição das plantas têm mostrado benefícios na produção e qualidade pós-colheita de flores. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho produtivo e qualidade pós-colheita do crisântemo cv. Puritan, cultivado em condições de campo aberto, sob diferentes doses de Agrosilício ® e Silicato de potássio.

Objetivou-se por este estudo, encontrar o melhor modelo matemático que estime a área das folhas trifoliolada de Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh de maneira não destrutiva, a partir das dimensões lineares do comprimento e da largura da folha central. Foram utilizadas 380 folhas trifolioladas, sendo 300 utilizadas para a modelagem e 80 utilizada para a validação. Cada folha central foi mensurada quanto ao maior comprimento (C) e a maior largura (L). Posteriormente determinou-se o produto da multiplicação entra o comprimento e largura (CL).

Introduction: Overweight and obesity among adolescent school children has been observed in recent years in most countries. The majority of overweight and obese adolescent children will become obese adults having an increased risk for chronic diseases associated with obesity, with a negative impact on their lifespan. Objective: Assessing the overweight and obesity and prevalence among adolescent school children and also to study the association of obesity with dietary food pattern in formations knowledge on overweight and obesity among adolescent.

Many studies have been undertaken in order to find pollutants of anthropic origin found in surface waters. Recently discovered we reported the emergence of water pollution by drugs. Although present at little concentrations, the water pollution by antibiotics can be at the origin of health and environmental risks which must not be neglected. In order to quantitate their presence in domestic and hospital waste, two molecules of antibiotics: Ciprofloxacin (CIPX) and Ceftriaxone (CFX) have been the subject of this study.

Celiac disease is a condition in which genetically predisposed people have an autoimmune reaction to gluten proteins found mainly in wheat. Celiac disease patients have few and expensive options of gluten-free food products. The aim of this study was to create a gluten-free alternative to the wheat chicken croquette, a food largely consumed in Brazil.

The present study had as objective to evaluate the effects of the use of the conditions lime virgin, agricultural gypsum and diatomaceous earth in the treatment of avian bed on the physicochemical, microbiological and toxicological aspects. The treatments consisted of: T1- Avian bed control (without treatment), T2- Avian bed + virgin lime (CaO) 600g/m², T3- Avian bed + gypsum agricultural (CaSO4) 600g/m² and T4- Avian bed + Earth diatomaceous 200 g/m².

Piper aduncum L., conhecido como pimenta-de-macaco, é um arbusto produtor de óleo essencial, com uso promissor tanto na agricultura como na medicina, devido à sua ação inseticida e fungicida. Embora haja interesse comercial pela espécie, são escassos os estudos sobre o seu ambiente de cultivo. Dentre as tecnologias utilizadas para se obter características agronômicas desejáveis, o sombreamento com malhas fotoseletivas tem se destacado como viável no cultivo de diversas espécies.

Soil management systems, when performed properly, give good quality. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the physical properties of the soil and its inferences on the use and management of the soil in the Faculty of Agrarian and Technological Sciences of UNESP - Campus de Dracena / SP. The evaluated treatments were five areas: anthropic intervention, degraded pasture, no-till, reforestation and APP.
