Many organophosphorus compounds are irreversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. The methods used in the literature to determine the inhibition kinetic constants usually involve either manual determination of the slope at various points along the inhibition progress curve or fitting polynomials to the curve. The present study investigates the use of non-linear-regression analysis to determi...

Abstract Alternaria brown spot - ABS (Alternaria alternata) causes lesions on fruits, leaves and branches of mandarins. The cost fungicide application is high alternative managements for the control need to be studied. We aimed evaluate calcium (Ca) nutrition mitigate effects ABS. Murcott IAC 221 tangor plants were nourished with nitrate at three different concentrations (30, 150 300 mg Ca L-1)...

We set up a theoretical framework to analyse the role of economic growth and technological progress in the erosion of social capital. Under certain conditions on parameters, the relationship between technological progress and social capital can take the shape of an inverted U curve. Furthermore, we show the circumstances that allow the economy to follow trajectories where the stock of social ca...
