| This project applied geotechnologies to understand the cause and effect relationships between agricultural activities and greenhouse gas emissions processes, generating subsidies for management decisions that were agronomically and environmentally sustainable. For that, maps of pastures of the national territory were updated and geotechnologies were used to spatialize and monitor natural resources, human activities, and the consequences of these activities on the Earth's surface.

| According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a quarter of the national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions comes from agricultural activities, and 93% of the CH4 emitted originates from enteric fermentation. Despite that, the agriculture practiced within given management standards can result in a lower GHG emissions. The GeoPecus project's goal is the application of geotechnologies for the understanding of the cause and effect relationship between agricultural activities and the Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| The project aims at assessing methods and innovative techniques in the area of Remote Sensing and spatial data integration for detection in cultivation practices and production systems, especially integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems (ICLFs) and variations, which constitute one of the key points of the low carbon agriculture policy.

| The goal is to assess the economic and ecological effectiveness of different models of forest restoration of degraded areas through the induction of secondary ecological succession, by natural regeneration, planting of seedlings, and the direct sowing of native and exotic tree species to compose the Legal Reserve.

| Environmental systems (SA) have gained great visibility as mechanisms of environmental conservation and improvement of living conditions for rural communities. However, when compared to services of provision of food, fiber and energy, SAs such as carbon sequestration and water conservation are generally put in an inferior level. Given its importance even to the sustainability of agriculture, it is necessary that these SAs move from the sphere of discourse into the sphere of practical realities.

| The goal of the project is to learn the capacity of the current production systems and of alternative technologies focused on carbon accumulation and sequestration in the soil and on reducing (direct or indirect) greenhouse gas - GHG - emissions. Such knowledge is essential for the investigation and foresight of future scenarios and for the planning of public policy to encourage the adoption of global warming mitigation practices. This project comprises the investigation and analysis of grain pr Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| Protein-protein interactions virtually regulate all processes inside cells, e.g. signal transduction, metabolic regulation, gene regulation, and immunological responses which occur in a specific way. Several experimental methods are capable of detecting interactions between proteins, which can range from cellular "resolution" to experiments which expose atom level interactions. However, the performance of these combined experiments which generate complete information regarding the network of pro ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Enzymes have their function essentially determined by specific residue known as catalytic residue. Most methods to predict enzyme catalytic residue uses at least one criterion of primary sequence conservation. Considering that the function is a product of the structure, this project aims to identify among the structural descriptors available in the Sting software database those of higher relevance in the discrimination of catalytic residue. Thus, the project will propose a new enzyme classificat Status: Completed Start date: Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |

The insects of the order Lepidoptera are the main pests affecting the crop of corn and can cause up to 34% reductions in production. The control of these pests is achieved primarily through the use of chemical insecticides, a system that brings negative effects to man, animals and environment. The use of biological control in pest management has emerged as an alternative to minimize these effects of the application of synthetic chemical insecticides, preserving the natural environment and the ...Status: Completed Start date: Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
