Plans for laser spectroscopy of trapped cold hydrogen-like HCI

Laser spectroscopy studies are being prepared to measure the 1s ground state hyperfine splitting in trapped cold highly charged ions. The purpose of such experiments is to test quantum electrodynamics in the strong electric field regime. These experiments form part of the HITRAP project at GSI. A brief review of the planned experiments is presented.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication (NIMB

Possibilidades do WHOQOL-bref para a promoção da saúde na estratégia saúde da família

A ampliação das ações de promoção da saúde na Estratégia Saúde da Família pode contribuir para a construção da integralidade, mas, ainda persistem lacunas de tecnologias para instrumentalizar os profissionais a analisarem os potenciais de saúde da população. O objetivo deste estudo é sintetizar as contribuições do WHOQOL-bref para instrumentalizar ações de promoção da saúde na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Foi realizada uma metassíntese qualitativa a partir de pesquisas realizadas pelo grupo Modelos tecnoassistenciais e a promoção da saúde com o uso do WHOQOL-bref e sua interface com a promoção da saúde. As sínteses das cinco pesquisas mostraram que existem relações conceituais entre os domínios do WHOQOL-bref e a promoção da saúde, legitimando este como um instrumento para a promoção da saúde. A utilização do WHOQOL-bref pode facilitar o vinculo e o cuidado longitudinal na Estratégia Saúde da Família

Estimation of metabolizable energy in diets with varying ratios of dried citrus pulp plus corn fed to finishing Canchim bulls

Seventy-two finishing Canchim bulls averaging 318 kg of initial body weight and 18 months of age were assigned to a completely randomized block design to evaluate the effects of replacing ground corn (GC) with dried citrus pulp (CP) on average daily weight gain, dry matter intake, feed efficiency, carcass yield, and Longissimus dorsi fat thickness. Diets contained forage (sugarcane silage) to concentrate ratio of 30:70 and the following levels of CP and GC: 100% GC (CP0), 50% GC + 50% CP (CP50), 25% GC + 75% CP (CP75), or 100% CP (CP100). The experiment lasted 130 days with 14 days for diet adaptation and 116 days for data and sample collection. Feed efficiency and net energy for maintenance and gain were all greatest on CP50 than on CP0 diet. Daily weight gain and DM intake were lower on CP100 and CP75 compared to CP50. No significant differences were observed for fat thickness and carcass yield across treatments. Based on the actual data, both the NRC (1996) and NRC (2001) models underestimated the energy value of CP compared to GC. © 2007 Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia

Evaluation of Disinfectants Used in Pre-Chilling water Tanks of Poultry Processing Plants

ABSTRACT In poultry processing plants, disinfectants are often added to pre-chilling water tanks to reduce microbial contamination. The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of five disinfectants (acidified sodium chlorite, alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, chlorine dioxide, peracetic acid, and sodium hypochlorite) on the populations of food quality indicator microorganisms and on Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in the presence and absence of organic matter. The results showed that chlorine dioxide and sodium hypochlorite did not reduce microbial carcass counts. On the other hand, acidified sodium chlorite, alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride and peracetic acid reduced total and fecal coliform counts. Peracetic acid reduced the number of psychrotrophic microorganisms. All products were effective in reducing SE counts only in the absence of organic matter. Acidified sodium chlorite, alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride and peracetic acid could be candidates for the replacement of sodium hypochlorite (commonly used in Brazil) in pre-chilling tanks
