1. Identification of areas of vote concentration: evidences from Brazil
In spite of the recent progress in the discussion on vote regional concentration brought by Avelino et al. (2011), there is still a lack of determination of the districts' internal areas where candidates obtained their votes. Synthetic concentration indices, as the G index, do not allow for evaluation in disaggregated levels, as municipalities, which would b

2. Phosphorus acquisition and internal utilization efficiency in tropical maize genotypes.
The objective of this work was to determine the relative importance of phosphorus acquisition efficiency (PAE ? plant P uptake per soil available P), and phosphorus internal utilization efficiency (PUTIL ? grain yield per P uptake) in the P use efficiency (PUE ? grain yield per soil available P), on 28 tropical maize genotypes evaluated at three low P and tw

3. Estimative of gene effects for traits related to phosphorus efficiency and responsiveness in tropical maize / Estimativas de efeitos gênicos de diversos caracteres relacionados à eficiência e resposta ao fósforo em milho tropical
Low information is available concerning the inheritance of phosphorus (P) efficiency and responsiveness in tropical maize, obtained from trials conducted until maturity in tropical environments. This information is the basis to establish selection strategies for these characteristics. The objective of this study was to investigate the inheritance and relatio

4. Diversidade microbiana em solos sob florestas de Araucaria angustifolia / Microbial diversity in soils under Araucaria angustifolia forests
The Ombrophilic Mixed Forest, also called Araucaria Forest, represents one of the richest remainders of subtropical pluvial forests in Brazil. Its main representative species is the endangered Araucaria angustifolia. The microbial diversity plays an important role in functioning of forest ecosystems. However, the microbial diversity in soils with araucaria f

5. Termorregulação colonial e energética individual em abelhas sem ferrão Melipona quadrifasciata Lepeletier (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) / Colonial thermoregulation and energetics in stingless bees Melipona quadrifasciata Lepeletier (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini).
In eusocial insects, such as stingless bees, the control of nest conditions and maintenance of the colonial microclimate are important to brood incubation, development of eggs, larvae and pupae, and survival of the colony. One of the main thermoregulatory mechanisms to control nest temperature is the microhabitat selection to build the nest, such as tree hol

6. Skeletal muscle substrate utilization during submaximal exercise in man: effect of endurance training.
1. The influence of training-induced adaptations in skeletal muscle tissue on the choice between carbohydrates (CHO) and lipids as well as the extra- vs. intracellular substrate utilization was investigated in seven healthy male subjects performing one-legged knee-extension exercise. In each subject one of the knee extensors was endurance trained for eight w

7. Microbial Decomposition in Aquatic Environments: Combined Process of Extracellular Enzyme Activity and Substrate Uptake
The aim of this study was to define a model for the coupling between extracellular enzyme activity and substrate uptake by bacterial populations in natural waters. The balance between uptake of leucine and extracellular hydrolytic production of leucine from a peptide model substrate was investigated in a combined fluorescence-radiotracer experiment with [3H]

8. GLUT4 glucose transporter deficiency increases hepatic lipid production and peripheral lipid utilization
A critical defect in type 2 diabetes is impaired insulin-stimulated glucose transport and metabolism in muscle and adipocytes. To understand the metabolic adaptations this elicits, we generated mice with targeted disruption of the GLUT4 glucose transporter in both adipocytes and muscle (AMG4KO). In contrast to total body GLUT4-null mice, AMG4KO mice exhibit

9. Effects of dietary fat on postprandial substrate oxidation and on carbohydrate and fat balances.
To study the effect of dietary fat on postprandial substrate utilization and nutrient balance, respiratory exchange was determined in seven young men for 1 h before and 9 h after the ingestion of one of three different breakfasts: i.e., bread, jam, and dried meat (482 kcal: 27% protein, 62% carbohydrate, and 11% fat); bread, jam, and dried meat plus 50 g of

10. Anabolic therapy with growth hormone accelerates protein gain in surgical patients requiring nutritional rehabilitation.
OBJECTIVE: The authors investigated the effects of exogenous growth hormone (GH) on protein accretion and the composition of weight gain in a group of stable, nutritionally compromised postoperative patients receiving standard hypercaloric nutritional therapy. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: A significant loss of body protein impairs normal physiologic functions an
