Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a usual way for analysing experiments. However, depending on the design and/or analysis scheme, it can be hard task. ExpDes, acronym Experimental Designs, package that intends to turn such task easier. Devoted fixed models and balanced experiments (no missing data), ExpDes allows user deal with additional treatments in single run, several experiment designs exhibits standard easy-to-interpret outputs. It was developed at Exact Sciences Institute Federal...

Three hundred and sixty patients with gastric carcinoma were evaluated by laparoscopy. The following tumor attributes used in the staging workup: serosal infiltration, fixation, metastasis to lymph nodes, peritoneal dissemination, liver metastasis. For detection of metastases, subgroups these also tested scintigraphy, ultrasonography, serum alkaline phosphatase determination. Use diagnostic indexes their confidence intervals provided an objective means assessing performance for various...

Eucalypt plantations in Brazil have the highest mean productivity when compared to other producing countries, and fertilizer application is one of main factors responsible for these productivities. Our aim was identify appropriate rates N, P K eucalypt their interactions with edaphoclimatic factors. Four trials four three nutrients (N, K) were set up. Each nutrient studied separately, trees received sufficient all through fertilization, avoid limitations not related desired nutrient. We...

Abstract Aim Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered the main drivers of species population declines extinctions in world. The large‐scale replacement natural habitats with human‐modified habitats, such as forests agricultural livestock farming areas, creates a scenario where habitat patches immersed an inhospitable land use matrix. We sought to evaluate how forest fragments (FFs) influenced by different surrounding landscape components, we assessed matrices that differ structure...

Nitrogen (N) is the main nutrient for plant nutrition, however, its fertilization management still very complex. To evaluate wheat N utilization efficiency (NUtE) and yield in response to considering influence of environmental conditions, an experiment was carried out three field conditions Southern Brazil: Londrina rainfed irrigation Ponta Grossa rainfed. A complete (2 × 2 2) + 1 factorial arrangement evaluated two rates (40 80 kg ha-1), sources (ammonium nitrate urea), timings (at sowing...
