Oliveira, Marcelo R. L. Oliveira, Mayura M. M. Rubinger, Elisa L. Piló, Daniele C. Menezes and Laércio Zambolim Petri dishes containing colonies of Botrytis cinerea after 3 days of incubation at 22 oC, were treated with tetraphenylphosphonium bis(4-fluorophenylsulphon yldithiocarbimate) zincate(II) at six different concentrations and compared to a control (negative treatment check). 762 Influência da idade das folhas de Eugenia uniflora L. na composição química do óleo essencial Frances R. Santos, Raimundo Braz-Filho e Rosane N. Castro Oxygenated sesquiterpenes, furanodiene and germacrone were predominant in the essential oil of Eugenia uniflora and distinguished with respect to the age of the leaves. 769 Chemical constituents from the stem bark of Annona pickelii (Annonaceae) Emmanoel V. Costa, Marília F. C. Sampaio, Marcos J. Salvador, Angelita Nepel and Andersson Barison Twenty compounds, including three lignans and twelve alkaloids, were found in stem bark A. pickelli and the NMR data for several alkaloids were reviewed. 777 Caracterização de nanofios de germânio sintetizados utilizando cobre como catalisador Riama C. Gouveia, Hanay Kamimura, Rafael Munhoz, Ariano De G. Rodrigues, Edson R. Leite e Adenilson J. Chiquito Ge nanowires grown from Cu catalyst. Morphological analysis showed that the nanowires are composed of single crystalline germanium with long range order. Electrical characterization confirmed the semiconductor behavior and identified VRH as the dominant transport mechanism. iv Quim.

Rigobello, Ana P. J. Scandelai, Beatriz L. Corso e Célia R. G. Tavares The LLE landfill leachate was evaluated under different conditions. The analyses carried out with a gas chromatograph coupled with a mass spectrometer allowed the identification of organic compounds in the leachate in the study. 801 Determinação voltamétrica simultânea de besilato de anlodipino e hidroclorotiazida em amostras de urina sintética utilizando um eletrodo de diamante dopado com boro Laís P.

Pereira-Filho Evaluation of sample preparation method using microwave radiation, targeting the extraction of Ba, Cd, Cr, Hg and Pb in raw material samples of school supplies. 813 Phytochemical and phylogenetic analysis of Spondias (Anacardiaceae) Cristiane Pereira, Letícia L. de Oliveira, Ricardo Gonçalves, Ana C. F. Amaral, Ricardo M. Kuster and Cassia M. Sakuragui The presence of flavonol 3-O-glycosides can be considered a synapomorphy of American Spondias, and the presence of rhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside coupled with phylogenetic data is evidence for the separation of the two Atlantic forest Spondias species in a distinct clade.

Godinho, Cassiano P. da Silva, Sérgio B. de Oliveira e Anselmo E. de Oliveira A Multivariate Image Analysis (MIA) laboratory activity was proposed estimating pH of drinking water samples from its digital images after adding bromothymol blue as a pH indicator, and using the PLS multivariate calibration method. 842 Avaliação de diferentes reagentes colorimétricos para a determinação de formaldeído em amostras de ar em ambientes internos Darllene Silveira, Jessica O. Fernandes e Elisabete A. Pereira Formaldehyde reacts with MBTH to form an azine, which is oxidized by a ferric chloride in acid media to form a blue cationic dye. Formaldehyde reacts with Purpald reagent in alkaline media to form a purple anion dye. The Nash reagent method relies on the reaction of formaldehyde with acetylacetone in acidified ammonium acetate to form a yellow product. 848 Pesticide residues in conventionally and organically grown tomatoes in Espírito Santo (Brazil) Gleissy M.
