RESUMOOs marcadores nominados Repetições Curtas em Tandem, ou STR, e Polimorfismo de Nucleotídeo Único ou SNP são os mais aplicados para identificação genética pelo seu alto teor de discriminação no comparativo de amostras, no campo da perícia criminal. Através de uma revisão sistemática qualitativa, objetivou-se abordar as diferenças, vantagens e desvantagens em relação aos dois marcadores empregados no âmbito forense. Comparações realizadas utilizando os dois tipos de marcadores abordados evidenciam que o grau de discriminação é superior nos marcadores STR, mas as aná-lises em materiais degradados são mais eficientes quando utilizamos os marcadores SNP. Apesar das diferenças de tamanho e disponibilidade no genoma, o uso individual desses marcadores não seria indicado para obtenção de resultados satisfatórios, uma vez que STR e SNP, executados em conjunto, trariam benefícios na identificação de DNA.
Low-cost solar dryers are an alternative for democratizing access to this technology. This work aimed to design a low-cost solar dryer and to evaluate its viability by modeling the drying kinetics of araticum (Annona crassiflora Mart.). The construction of the prototype used low-cost materials. The araticum drying occurred until the samples reached equilibrium moisture. The data were processed to adapt the kinetic models.The araticum pulp, after 420 min of drying, had a constant mass with 2.67% ± 0.28% of moisture. The Midilli, Kucuk & Yapar model was the evaluated model that best fit the drying curve. It was possible to determine three diffusion coefficients associated with the process. It was inferred that the built dryer and the climatic conditions were efficient for drying the product and demanded little expense for its construction. The tested empirical models were able to accurately describe the solar drying of this fruit.
Novelty impact statement:The designed dryer showed efficacy in the drying process of araticum pulp. It was possible to mathematically model the solar drying process kinetics for araticum. The equipment requests low investment and can democratize access to the drying process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
