An important source of CH4 emission is flooded rice paddy. In this paper, the Eddy Covariance methodology was used to estimate the surface fluxes of CH4 in a flooded rice paddy in the Southern Brazil (lat: -30.2771 N; long: -53.1479 W; altitude - 40.5 m). In the event of low turbulence, this method can generate unrealistic flux data. In this situation, it is recommended remove the flux of the dataset. In general, the friction velocity (u*) is used to remove CH4 flux in low turbulence situations. However, u* is a flux and the use of the standard deviation of vertical velocity fluctuations (σw) can be an alternative. The objective of this work is to analyze the behavior of CH4 flux with friction velocity (u*), with the standard deviation of vertical velocity fluctuations (σw), and with atmospheric and soil variables in a flooded rice paddy.</jats:p>

Flood irrigation agriculture, such as irrigated rice, represents aconsiderable source of methane emissions (from 12 to 26 percent of all anthropogenic CH4 emissions in the world). Estimates ofCH4 emissions have also been performed through the eddy covariance technique. Although this methodology makes continuousmeasurements of methane exchanges between the ecosystem and the atmosphere, failure to collect data can occur because thesystem is quite sensitive, especially in the hard weather conditions. The gap filling in the methane data are essential to obtaina daily or seasonal quantification of the emissions. In this study, different gap filling techniques are used to fill the CH4 fluxesobtained by eddy covariance technique in an irrigated rice crop. The experimental data were obtained in Cachoeira do ...

The hydrolysate was fractionized by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC-Ni). The fraction with high ACE inhibitory activity was enriched and further chromatographed on a reverse-phase column to yield four fractions. Among the fractions, the L4 fraction exhibited the highest ACE inhibitory activity and was identified by sequence analysis as Trp-Tyr-Leu-His-Tyr-Ala (WYLHYA), with IC value of 16.22 ± 0.83 µM in vitro. This peptide was expected to be applied as an ingredient for preventing hypertension and IMAC-Ni may provide a simple method for purification of ACE inhibitory peptides.
