Mapeamento de QTLs para características de crescimento e de resistência no cromossomo 14 de bovinos F2 provenientes de um cruzamento Gir x Holandês

Brazil possesses the largest commercial bovine herd in the world and cattle represents about 43% of agricultural PIB of Brazil. Crossing Bos taurus and Bos indicus species allows the combination of traits of production from the first specie and of rusticity from the second specie for the genetic improvement of the bovines. Due to the economical relevance of livestock in Brazil, the search for regions in the genome that contribute to prodution traits is object of many studies including traits such as meat yield, precocity of growth and many weight measures (eg. birth weight, yearling weight). The endoparasites and ectoparasites have great economical relevance, once the growth losses and production (meat and milk) affect the bovine herd and consequently, the producer and consumer. The objective of this work was to map QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) for growth traits and for resistance to ectoparasite and endoparasites through the BTA14 scan, using microssatellite markers in a F2 population Holstein x Gyr. The QTL mapping for the trait birth weight (BW) suggested a QTL (P <0.05) at 1 cM from centromere and for the weight at 60 days (P60), a suggestive QTL (P <0.05) was found at 0 cM from centromere. The mapping for resistance to the ectoparasite Boophilus microplus revealed a significant QTL (P<0.01) at 22 cM from centromere but no association was observed for endoparasites. Together, the results found in this work suggest the possibility to map regions of the bovine genome that affect quantitative traits, like growth and resistance, by means of microssatellite markers.
Resolubilidade global para operadores diferenciais parciais reais de ordem um
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2006-06-30) Silva, Maurício Fronza da; Santos Filho, José Ruidival Soares dos; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6112529384454347
The present work study the global solvability of first order real linear partial diferential operators when the principal part has precisely one equilibrium point. Moreover, examples and counterexamples are presented.
Avaliação do comportamento das elementos Ni, Rb e Se por espectrometria de absorção atômica com forno tubular na chama de aeressol térmico.
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2006-06-30) Rosini, Fabiana; Nóbrega, Joaquim de Araújo; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8833989058164529; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5754458321462608
In the present work the behavior of the elements Ni, Rb, and Se was evaluated by thermospray flame furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (TS-FF-AAS). The arrangement of the TS-FF-AAS system consisted of a Ni tube located on the burner head of an air / acetylene flame with a ceramic capillary tube connected to it and heated by the flame. The sample was transported towards the capillary heated tube by action of a peristaltic pump, and then transformed in a thermospray that was introduced into the Ni tube. The sensitivity was increased by the complete introduction of the sample in the absorption volume. For all tested elements, the effect of the main parameters on atomization, such as flame composition, observation height, type of carrier stream, flow rate, and sample volume, was investigated. For selenium, the detection limit obtained was 95-fold better than that obtained by FAAS. Notwithstanding, selenium determination was difficult due to the absorption region of this element (λ = 196 nm), that implied in molecular absorption by flame gases and scattering of radiation. Based on prescribed conditions established by a factorial experiment, selenium was determined with accuracy in samples of animal tissues and in two standard reference materials after microwave-assisted digestion using a diluted solution of acid nitric. For Rb, the sensitivity increased 37-fold compared to FAAS, leading to a detection limit of 2.65 µg/L by TS-FF-AAS. On the other hand, Ni is a refractory element and needed special conditions to facilitate the volatilization and atomization processes. Thus, a cloud point extraction procedure was developed. The combination of both TS-FF-AAS and cloud point extraction led to an improvement of 18-fold in detection limit, however Ni determination in biological samples was limited owing to interferences caused by Al(III), Co(II), and Fe(III). These interferences could be solved by adding fluoride to the digests.
