TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the seed water content of maize and soya, obtained by the oven method at different temperatures and the Karl Fischer method, and the results indicate that the official method for seed moisture determination (105oC oven method) should be revised in order to obtain more reliable results.
Abstract: The objective of the present paper was to compare the seed water content of maize and soya, obtained by the oven method at different temperatures and the Karl Fischer method. The water contents used were 11.2 %, 12.8 % and 16.2 % for maize and 10.7 %, 12.4 % and 16.0 % for soya. Samples were dried for a sufficiently long time in order to obtain the same results in both methods. The results indicate that the official method for seed moisture determination (105oC oven method) should be revised in order to obtain more reliable results. The drying time in the oven varied according to the seed water content and the temperature used.

TL;DR: A profile of health attention to female population in Piaui is drawn to find a solution to defeat high morbi-mortality rate among women that, in its majority occurs due to factors solved through prevention such as: abortion, infections, hemorrhage, and toxemia.
Abstract: This present study has the objective of drawing a profile of health attention to female population in Piaui in order to arise a reflection and to find a solution to defeat high morbi-mortality rate among women that, in its majority occurs due to factors solved through prevention such as: abortion, infections, hemorrhage, and toxemia. the research was run at 42 health institutions from April 10 to September 16, 1993. Three instruments for data collection were used: one for district characterization, other for gynecology and obstetrics internation units at general hospitais, and another for public health units. The results are presented in a table in order to provide a more effective comprehension. The aspects analyses, such as human resources, activities and procedures involving female assistance population routine led to the following results: the majority of the attendances are for the gynecology area followed by the prenatal care. This area suffers from a lack of specialized professionals. The most performed activities and procedures are: anamneses, general physical and gyneco-obstetric examinations, laboratory tests, immunization, reference, pregnancy orientation and family planning. The least performed activities are: the educative and preventive ones such as discussion groups and lectures. The data registration system is inefficient and, besides, there is not a discrimination in assistance according to age and specific groups such as old ladies, climaterium, adolescents and rape victims. Few or none evaluation is done in such institutions for women health assistance. Thus, quality evaluation of services and frequent professional training must be supplied if there is a wish of eradicating or reducing female mortality.

TL;DR: In this article, the critical dynamics of the isotropic XY-model on the one-dimensional superlattice is considered in the framework of the position space renormalization group theory.
Abstract: The critical dynamics of the isotropic XY-model on the one-dimensional superlattice is considered in the framework of the position space renormalization group theory. The decimation transformation is introduced by considering the equations of motion of the operators associated to the excitations of the system, and it corresponds to an extension of the procedure introduced by Stinchcombe and dos Santos (J. Phys. A18, L597 (1985)) for the homogeneous lattice. The dispersion relation is obtained exactly and the static and dynamic scaling forms are explicitly determined. The dynamic critical exponent is also obtained and it is shown that it is identical to the one of the XY-model on the homogeneous chain.
