Item Biospeckle Laser Technique for mechanical damage assessment in Tommy atkins mango fruits(2021) Santana, Taize Calvacante; Silva, Rodes Angelo Batista da; Pandorfi, Héliton; Silva, Marcos Vinícius da; Rodrigues, Silvestre; Guiselini, Cristiane; Cavalcanti, Sávio Duarte Lopes; Gomes, Nicoly FariasAbstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of biological activity measured by the Biospeckle Laser technique applied to mangoes (Mangifera indica L.) subjected to mechanical damage at different stages of maturation. The tests were carried out twice a week for twenty-one days, and 40 mangoes of the variety Tommy Atkins were used. The procedure was divided into two stages: the first simulated the impact on fruits, and in the second stage, the laser light was applied to the impacted area. After laser application, the images of all fruits were submitted to graphic processing, in order to obtain maps of biological activity of the fruits. The Biospeckle laser technique associated with image analysis allowed the identification of distinct biological activity levels in the mangoes, certifying its potential application as a non-destructive test tool, in the monitoring of biological activity in fruit samples. Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar a resposta da atividade biológica medida pela técnica Biospeckle Laser aplicada a mangas (Mangifera indica L.) submetidas a danos mecânicos, em diferentes estágios de maturação. Os testes foram realizados duas vezes por semana, durante 21 dias, sendo utilizados 40 frutos de manga da variedade Tommy. O procedimento foi dividido em duas etapas: na primeira etapa, simulou-se o impacto nos frutos; na segunda etapa, foi aplicada a luz laser sobre a área que sofreu impacto, seguido do registro das imagens de todos os frutos. Esses registros foram submetidos a um processamento gráfico, com a finalidade de se obterem mapas de atividade biológica dos frutos. A técnica Biospeckle laser associada à análise de imagem permitiu identificar níveis de atividades biológicas distintas nas mangas, certificando o seu potencial de aplicação como ferramenta de teste não destrutivo, no monitoramento da atividade biológica em amostras de frutos.Item Thermal comfort and productive responses of 7/8 holstein-gyr cows subjected to cooling system(2023) Silva, Marcos Vinícius da; Almeida, Gledson Luiz Pontes de; Pandorfi, Héliton; Moraes, Alex Souza; Macêdo, Gleidiana Amélia Pontes de Almeida; Oliveira, Maria Eduarda Gonçalves de; Melo, Maria Vitória Neves de; Santana, Taize CalvacanteABSTRACT. The objective of this research was to identify the influence of the evaporative adiabatic cooling system (EACS) on the thermal comfort and productive responses of dairy cattle, through multivariate analysis by principal components (PC), in the summer and winter seasons of the semiarid region of Pernambuco, Brazil. The data came from an experiment that included 16 multiparous lactating cows (7/8 Holstein-Gyr), randomly distributed in 4 sets, with 4 experimental phases and 4 treatments (0, 10, 20, and 30 min.). The multivariate analysis was carried out through PC for the thermal comfort indices, physiological variables, and milk production and composition. The highest milk production in the summer season was obtained for animals exposed to the cooling system for 30 min. In the winter season in the morning period, the use of the EACS for 10 min. was sufficient for improvements in milk production. The times of exposure to EACS caused changes in the composition of milk, for both seasons. Principal component analysis made it possible to verify a positive correlation of evaporative cooling with thermal comfort, physiological responses, and production and composition of milk of lactating cows.Item Thermal comfort and productive responses of 7/8 holstein-gyr cows subjected to cooling system(2023) Silva, Marcos Vinícius da; Almeida, Gledson Luiz Pontes de; Pandorfi, Héliton; Moraes, Alex Souza; Macêdo, Gleidiana Amélia Pontes de Almeida; Oliveira, Maria Eduarda Gonçalves de; Melo, Maria Vitória Neves de; Santana, Taize CalvacanteABSTRACT.
