    Projeto acadêmico (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Campus Curitibanos. Ciências Rurais.O Estado de Santa Catarina apresenta um polo industrial diversificado com a presença de atividades têxteis, papel e celulose, agroindustrial e madeireira. Estas indústrias geram efluentes que podem prejudicar ambientalmente as áreas em seu entorno, a exemplo dos resíduos de uso de compostos xantenos para tingimento, como a Rodamina B. Desta forma, poderia este corante causar efeitos mutagênicos e/ou citogenotóxicos para plantas? Para a avaliação de potencialidade tóxica de poluentes são utilizados bioensaios com plantas superiores, uma vez que são eficazes na detecção de substâncias tóxicas por serem extremamente sensíveis e de baixo custo. O efeito tóxico da Rodamina B em células vegetais, pode ser investigado através de testes de citogenotoxicidade em Tradescantia (clone BNL 4430), uma espécie modelo comumente empregada em estudos de biomonitoramento. O objetivo deste trabalho será a avaliação do efeito citogenotóxico do corante Rodamina B em células de planta modelo Tradescantia clone BNL 4430, através da aplicação de testes citogenéticos, como o bioensaio do pêlo estaminal (TRAD-TSH) e o teste de micronúcleo (TRAD-MCN). Para isto, hastes do clone serão submetidas a água destilada (controle negativo), a 10μg/mL de solução de formaldeído (controle positivo) e 3 concentrações diferentes de Rodamina B (2,5μg/mL; 5μg/mL; 10μg/mL). Para a obtenção de imagens será utilizado o microscópio de epifluorescência Olympus BX-60 acoplado com câmera digital Olympus DP73. Os dados serão avaliados através da análise de variância e as médias serão comparadas por meio do teste Scott-Knott, utilizando o programa estatístico (Sisvar 4.0) ao nível de significância de 5%. Espera-se contribuir com informações relevantes quanto aos efeitos citogenotóxicos para alertar usuários desse corante e para o tratamento correto desses efluentes

    Two-body open charm decays of Z(+)(4430)

    No full text
    The two-body open charm decays Z(+)(4430)-> D(+)(D) over bar*(0), D*(+)(D) over bar (0), D*(+)(D) over bar*(0) occur through the rescattering mechanism and their branching ratios are strongly suppressed if Z(+)(4430) is a D(1)(D) over bar* molecular state. In contrast, Z(+)(4430) falls apart into these modes easily with large phase space and they become the main decay modes if Z(+)(4430) is a tetraquark state. Experimental search of these two-body open charm modes and the hidden charm mode chi(cJ)rho will help distinguish different theoretical schemes.Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)0ARTICLE11null7

    Modifications on parameters of Z(4430) in a dense medium

    No full text
    The charmonium-like resonance Z(c)(3900) and its excited state Z(4430) are among the particles that are serious candidates for double heavy tetraquarks. Calculations of different parameters associated with these states both in the vacuum and the medium with finite density are of great importance. Such investigations help us clarify their nature, internal quark-gluon organization and quantum numbers. In this accordance, we extend our previous analyses on the ground state Z(c)(3900) to investigate the medium modifications on different parameters of the excited Z(4430) state. In particular, we calculate the mass, vector self-energy and current coupling of Z(4430) in terms of density, up to a density comparable to the density of the cores of massive neutron stars. The obtained results may help experimental groups aiming to study the behavior of exotic states at higher densities. (C) 2020 The Author(s).

    Is Z(+)(4430) a loosely bound molecular state?

    No full text
    Since Z(+)(4430) lies very close to the threshold of D*(D) over bar (1), we investigate whether Z(+)(4430) could be a loosely bound S-wave state of D*(D) over bar (1) or D*(D) over bar (1)' with J(P)=0(-),1(-),2(-), i.e., a molecular state arising from the one-pion-exchange potential. The potential from the crossed diagram is much larger than that from the diagonal scattering diagram. With various trial wave functions, we notice that the attraction from the one-pion-exchange potential alone is not strong enough to form a bound state with realistic pionic coupling constants deduced from the decay widths of D(1) and D(1)'.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000253764700017&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)32ARTICLE3null7

    Is the Z+(4430) a radially excited state of Ds?

    No full text
    AbstractWe present the interpretation that the recently discovered Z+(4430) by the Belle Collaboration can be a radial excitation of the cs¯ state, being consistent with an observed value of the product of branching ratios, B(B0→K∓Z±(4430))×B(Z±(4430)→π±ψ′)∼10−5. We give an explicit cs¯ candidate for this state by calculating the mass value in our semirelativistic quark potential model and also give a natural understanding for the facts that the decay mode Z→J/ψπ+ has not yet been seen while Z→ψ′π can be seen

    Treating Z(c)(3900) and Z(4430) as the ground state and first radially excited tetraquarks

    Azizi, Kazem (Doğuş Author)Exploration of the resonances Z(c)(3900) and Z(4430) are performed by assuming that they are the ground state and first radial excitation of the same tetraquark with J(P) = 1(+). The mass and current coupling of the Zc(3900) and Z(4430) states are calculated using the QCD two-point sum rule method by taking into account vacuum condensates up to eight dimensions. We investigate the vertices Z(c)M(h)M(l) and ZM(h)M(l), with M-h and M-l being the heavy and light mesons and evaluate the strong couplings g(ZcMhMl) and g(ZMhMl) using the QCD sum rule on the light cone. The extracted couplings allow us to find the partial width of the decays Z(c)(3900)-> J/psi pi, psi'pi, eta(c)rho and Z(4430)-> psi'pi, J/psi pi, eta'(c)rho, eta(c)rho which may help in comprehensive investigation of these resonances. We compare the width of the decays of Z(c)(3900) and Z(4430) resonances with available experimental data as well as existing theoretical predictions
