Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a flutuação populacional de Rhynchophorus palmarum L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) em plantios de Elaeis guineensis Jacq, em ecossistemas de savana e floresta no estado de Roraima. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida durante o período de janeiro de 2011 a fevereiro de 2012 nos campos experimentais da Embrapa Roraima: Monte Cristo e Caroebe, numa área de 2 hectares com a cultura da Palma de Óleo, em cada campo. Foram distribuídas armadilhas iscadas com roletes de cana-de-açúcar e feromônio de agregação para captura dos insetos no entorno dos plantios. Ocorreu flutuação de R. palmarum com picos populacionais nos meses de julho e agosto no ecossistema de savana e de abril a setembro no ambiente de floresta. A população de R. palmarum foi menor em meses de baixa precipitação pluviométrica nos dois ambientes avaliados com a Palma de Óleo em RoraimaPopulation Fluctuation of Rhynchophorus  palmarum  L.  (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Plantations of Oil Palm in RoraimaAbstract. This research aimed to evaluate the population fluctuation Rhynchophorus palmarum L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Elaeis guineensis Jacq plantations in forest and savanna ecosystems in the state of Roraima. The research was conducted during the period from January 2011 to February 2012 in the experimental field of Embrapa Roraima: Monte Cristo and Caroebe in an area of 2 hectares with culture Oil Palm in each field. Traps baited with rollers cane sugar and aggregation pheromone for capturing insects in the vicinity of the plantations were distributed. Fluctuation occurred R. palmarum with population peaks in the months of July and August in the savanna ecosystem and from April to September in the forest environment. The population of R. palmarum was lower in months of low rainfall in the two environments assessed with a palm-oil-in Roraima.

Characteristics of heat transfer and hydrodynamics of boiling of liquid nitrogen on the surfaces with different types of non-uniformities at the presence of external electric fields are experimentally investigated. It is shown that the formation of field traps is a major mechanism of heat transfer enhancement. And this effect result in noticeable change of two-phase hydrodynamics in vicinity of heated surface.

Background: Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are responsible for the transmission of trypanosomes, agents of animal and Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT). These diseases are associated with considerable animal and human economical loss, morbidity and mortality. The correct identification of trypanosomes species infecting tsetse flies is crucial for adequate control measures. Identification presently requires technically difficult, cumbersome, and expensive on-site fly dissection. To obviate this difficulty we explored the possibility of correctly identifying trypanosomes in tsetse collected, under field conditions, only for number determination. Methodology: Tsetse flies, that remained exposed for weeks in field traps in the Vista Alegre HAT focus in Angola, were obtained. The flies were not dissected on site and were stored at room temperature for months. DNA extraction using the whole tsetse bodies and PCR analysis were performed in 73 randomly chosen flies. Results: Despite the extensive degradation of the tsetse, DNA extraction was conducted successfully in 62 out of the 73 flies. PCR analysis detected the presence of Trypanosoma brucei s.l DNA in 3.2 % of the tsetse. Conclusions: This approach could be cost-effective and suitable for vector-related HAT control activities in the context of countries where entomological trained personnel is missing and financial resources are limited.

Refinements in trap characteristics may improve ability to monitor and mass-trap beetles. Field assays were conducted in common bean fields to assess responses of Diabrotica speciosa (Germar) to some trap characteristics. Golden yellow plastic cups (750 mL) traps caught more D. speciosa females and males than did clear traps. Carrot slices in Petri dishes baited with Lagenaria vulagaris L. powder (cucurbitacin source - 0.28%) caught more beetles than did dishes with carrot alone. Dispensers for the floral volatile attractant 1,4-dimethoxybenze were also compared. Rubber septa dispenser attracted more beetles than did control (dental wicks saturated with acetone). Captures on dental wick, starch matrix and feminine pad dispensers were intermediate and did not differ from those on rubber septa and unbaited controls. Perforated bottle traps (2000 mL), when baited with the floral attractant, caught more beetles than did window bottle traps (both traps contained L. vulgaris powder) in most assessments done from two to ten days after trap placement in the field. Traps with the insecticide carbaryl captured more beetles than did traps without it, 2-4 and 8-10 days after trap placement in the field, but not in the remaining periods (0-2, 4-6 and 6-8 days). Traps baited with 1,4-dimethoxybenzene captured more beetles than did the unbaited ones in all assessments (each other day from two to ten days after trap placement in the field). Finally, similar amounts of beetles were captured using plastic bottle traps (2000 mL): perforated, window (both with cucurbitacin) and sticky (without cucurbitacin) traps, when were baited with the floral attractant.

Selat Makassar Utara yang terletak di bagian tenggara tepi paparan Sunda antara pulau Kalimantan dan Sulawesi merupakan wilayah eksplorasi laut-dalam. Wilayah ini berdekatan dengan Cekungan Kutai yang umumnya endapan delta dan paparan. Cekungan Kutai Laut-dalam yang termasuk daerah Kalimatan Timur bagian offshore telah dieksplorasi dengan penemuan beberapa lapangan migas yang signifikan pada sedimen umur Pliosen dan Miosen Akhir. Penemuan lapangan migas tersebut yang tersebar di tiga blok yaitu Makassar Strait PSC, Rapak PSC dan Ganal PSC yang dikontrol oleh tektonik kompresi berarah barat barat-laut dan timur tenggara. Setting geotektonik Selat Makassar dimulai dari Eosen yang diakibatkan tarikan pada kerak yang berkembang ke arah baratdaya dari pusat pemekaran di Laut Sulawesi. Setelah awal tarikan pada Selat Makassar, permukaan horst dan graben pada fase awal Eosen tertutupi di atasnya oleh sedimen dari hasil proses penurunan cekungan selama Oligosen sampai Miosen. Pada Plio-Pleistosen di Selat Makassar terjadi perubahan dari tektonik tarikan menjadi kompresi. Perkembangan antiklin toe-thrust terbentuk pada tingkat perkembangan yang bervariasi selama Miosen – Pliosen menjadikan hydrokarbon play pada laut-dalam purba. Keadaan tersebut berpengaruh terhadap pengendapan batuan reservoir dan batuan induk, sejarah penurunan cekungan dan tentunya tipe pematangan batuan induk, jalur migrasi dan pada puncaknya adalah dihasilkannya banyak perangkap lapangan migas dari struktur toe-thrust. Kata kunci: geotektonik, Selat Makassar Utara, Cekungan Kutai, laut-dalam, reservoir The North Makassar Straits, located on the south-eastern margin of the Sundaland, between the islands of Kalimatan and Sulawesi, is an under-explored deepwater domain, adjacent to Kutai Basin which primarily coastal deltaic and shelfal deposits. Deepwater Kutei Basin, offshore East Kalimantan, has been explored with several significant hydrocarbon discoveries in Pliocene and Late Miocene sediments. The discoveries scattered in three blocks i.e., North Makassar Strait PSC, Rapak PSC and Ganal PSC controlled by compressional tectonics in W-NW and E-SE directions. Geotectonical setting of the Makassar Straits commenced during the Eocene in response to a crustal extension that propagated south-westwards from the Celebes Sea spreading centre. After initial opening of the Makassar Straits, early-phase Eocene horst and graben terrains were overlain by basinal sag sediments during the subsequent Oligocene to Miocene era. During the Plio-Pleistocene, prior extensional settings in the Makassar Straits that became compressional. The development of these toe-thrust anticlines has influenced the development of this Miocene-Pliocene palaeo-deep-water play in varying degree. This influence ranges from the deposition of reservoir, source, to subsidence history and thereby source rock maturity, migration routes and, ultimately, many of the field traps are generated by these toe-thrust structures. Key words: geotectonic, North Makassar Strait, Kutai basin, deepwater, reservoir

Seed traps positioned 1 to 100 m into a cultivated field were used to assess the seed rain from an adjacent weedy pasture. The cultivated field was in the fallow phase of a crop-fallow rotation. Two sets of traps were used: one set contained steampasteurized soil and the other contained untreated soil from the field. Traps were left in the field for 12 months and then transported to a greenhouse where they were kept for 12 additional months. Seed content was determined by field and greenhouse emergence of seedlings. The pasture was dominated by grasses, the most abundant being Poa pratensis, Stipa comata, Bromus inermis, and Agropyron repens. Seeds of pasture species were found in decreasing numbers in the fallow field, with few found more than 7 m from the fence line in traps of both sterilized and nonsterilized soil. The fallow field was dominated by species such as Setaria viridis, Thlaspi arvense, Descurainia sophia, and Salsola kali which were not found in abundance in the pasture. It was concluded that seed rain from the pasture had a significant influence on the germinable seed content of the soil of the cultivated field (at the edge only). The incursion of pasture species into cultivated land presumably has been restricted by cultural practices.
