Classifica����o do grau de comprometimento motor e do ��ndice de massa corp��rea em crian��as com paralisia cerebral

Children with cerebral palsy due to movement and posture disorders might have an injured nutritional state. This study's objective was to classify the body mass index of children with cerebral palsy and verify its relation with the injury level of gross motor function. Twenty children, male and female sex, with cerebral palsy with ages between 2 and 14 years participated in the study. They were chosen from a rehabilitation center with physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy accompaniment. Children were classified according to the gross motor function classification scale. The anthropometric measures of each child weight, heel-knee length, estimated stature and body mass index were gauged. The body mass index was classified according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's body mass index percentile calculator for children and teenagers. The obtained data didn't show any relation between the gross motor function and body mass index. The reduced number of participants and the fact of all children be accompanied in dysphagia clinics and, when necessary, nutrition clinics, might have influenced these results.

Resenha: Um pouco do legado das formulações de Clausewitz sobre a guerra e a pol��tica

Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) foi um generalprussiano que teve como um de seus principaislegados uma obra cl��ssica, ���Da guerra���, umarefer��ncia obrigat��ria sobre o fen��meno b��lico.Escrita provavelmente entre 1812 e 1831, foipublicada postumamente gra��as ao esfor��o de suamulher Marie von Clausewitz (ARON, 1986a); foi oprincipal resultado de experi��ncia e enormeelabora����o de vasta obra do general prussiano,soldado do ex��rcito prussiano desde 1792 ecombatente nas guerras napole��nicas semprecontrariamente �� Fran��a comandada por Napole��oBonaparte. mesmo quando a Pr��ssia se aliou aNapole��o ap��s ser derrotada. Naquele momento,Clausewitz renunciou �� sua patente como oficial noex��rcito prussiano e se alistou no ex��rcito russo;desempenhou papel importante na retirada daPr��ssia da alian��a pr��-Fran��a quando o GrandArm��e napole��nico bateu em retirada em suamalsucedida campanha na R��ssia. Reintegrado aoex��rcito prussiano e �� sua patente, Clausewitzparticipou de teatros de opera����es secund��rios nasa����es decisivas at�� a derrota definitiva deNapole��o; suas convic����es antinapole��nicas lhecustaram desconfian��a e um pre��o muito caro: apartir de ent��o, sua ascens��o at�� o generalatorenderam-lhe posi����es secund��rias eadministrativas sem comando de tropas, dentreelas, a dire����o da Academia Militar de Berlim.

Utiliza����o de geotecnologias no monitoramento de processos erosivos e movimentos de massa em trecho da faixa de dutos Rio de Janeiro - Belo Horizonte

The transportation of oil through pipelines raises a concern related to safety and environmental impacts they may cause, especially when exposed to risks that affect their integrity. Among the natural phenomena that can affect the pipelines are erosion and landslides. Considering the large territory involving the pipelines, remote sensing tools have a great applicability for data acquisition. For this, visual analysis techniques were applied to perform change detection in order to monitor erosion features and landslides along a stretch of pipeline Rio de Janeiro ��� Belo Horizonte, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The work involved the characterization of the study area as well as the erosion and landslide processes, through bibliographical data. The satellite image processing and the application of change detection techniques were developed in two scenes for the years 2002 and 2010. It was noted a small increase in the number of the identified features, however with regard to their area, a decrease of 21.7% was observed

Avalia����o do comportamento da temperatura na massa deres��duos com diferentes tempos de disposi����o no aterro sanit��rio de Rio Claro - SP

The present work investigates solid waste temperature behavior in different depths in two cells in the Rio Claro-SP city���s sanitary landfill. One of the cells is in operation with waste disposal beginning about one year ago. The other one is located in an closed area and contain waste disposed from five to seven years before. Measures were also made in an area that have no disposed waste in order to collect reference values. The data were obtained every fifteen days. The temperature results shows higher values in the operating cell, with maximum 38,1 ��C in a depth of 4,0 m. In the closed cell the highest values were 36,3 ��C in a depth of 8,5 m. The highest temperature values were obtained in the operating cell due to wider substract availability that indicates a more intense biological degradation activity. With three meters depth, the temperature results were 36,6 ��C in the operating cell, 33,8 ��C in the closed cell and 24,5 ��C in the reference area. Therefore the temperature can be used as a biological activity indicator in sanitary landfills, supporting biogas studies

An��lise comparativa de softwares de simula����o de onda de cheia e corridas de massa

This scientific research aimed at presenting a comparative analysis of softwares used to represent the processes of flood wave and debris flow. For this, a literature review was performed on these processes and on simulation models used to represent them. Then, a research on scientific database and developers��� websites was performed to identify the softwares used to simulate these processes. This step was performed based on specific criteria such as the type of simulation performed by the software, its practical applications and a user friendly interface. A free distribution and totally functional software was chosen and its simulation mechanisms were tested through a simulation exercise and the results interpreted based on data on measured in the Basin of Ribeir��o Marins section Monjolinho located in Piracicaba - SP. With respect to the processes, it was sought to present the dynamics, constraints, parameters and variables used to understand them and for the simulation models were presented the conceptual aspects of mathematical modeling including the steps of the simulation process and the different types of simulation models used to represent them. In total, 20 softwares were identified, and the software object of analysis was the ABC 6 that performs simulation of flood wave. Through the simulation exercise, it was observed that were presented overestimated values of flow compared to measured data in the basin. For both hypotheses were raised about the causes of the discrepancy between the observed and simulated flow. It has been concluded that the simulation process consisted of a complex procedure where generalizations, misrepresentations and simplifications may occur due to the data used and the method adopted, but it is a useful tool in planning and decision making in various types of studies and environmental projects

Estudo sobre as unidades de medidas das grandezas f��sicas b��sicas: comprimento, massa e tempo

Measurement units are used almost automatically nowadays, but few people know the origin of the units of length (meter), mass (kilogram) and time (second). And do not care to know what were anciently units of which our ancestors used, the difficulties that existed to make a set of measures. The aim of this work is to make a historical approach, through various units of measure. They are old, unusual to others that have been forgotten since the standardization of meters, and is also discussed about the metric system Englih (Once and foot), AV system (eg pound grain) that are still used in some countries like United States and England, the Troy system consisting of units of measure for precious stones and metals (eg gold and diamond) are also cited some physical concepts as reference: inertial, non-inertial; mass: gravity, relativistic, inertial

Efeito da massa da semente na germina����o e na pl��ntula de palmito Ju��ara (Euterpe edulis)

O tamanho da semente �� uma importante caracter��stica para a ecologia das esp��cies vegetais, pois tem grande influ��ncia em v��rios aspectos de suas estrat��gias de vida. Incluindo assim a sobreviv��ncia das pl��ntulas, a s��ndrome de dispers��o e o n��mero de sementes que podem ser produzidos para uma determinada quantidade de energia. Apesar de muitos trabalhos, testarem o efeito da massa da semente no tamanho das pl��ntulas, apenas alguns deles avaliam como essa rela����o pode variar entre distintas popula����es. Neste estudo, n��s avaliamos a import��ncia da massa das sementes de Euterpe edulis para a sua germina����o, e posterior desenvolvimento das pl��ntulas. Nossa primeira hip��tese testada foi a que afirma a massa da semente como uma importante caracter��stica para a germina����o. J�� a segunda, �� a de que h�� algum tipo de rela����o entre massa da semente e biomassa das pl��ntulas, tamb��m se esta biomassa �� independente do status de conserva����o da ��rea. Para isto, foram estudadas tr��s popula����es defaunadas, pois as aves consideradas potenciais dispersoras de longa dist��ncia desta esp��cie vegetal, j�� foram extintas como: Tucanos e Ara��ari. Com isso, estas popula����es est��o submetidas a um prov��vel baixo fluxo g��nico, ao passo que outras quatro ��reas s��o n��o defaunadas. Nossos dados mostram que: a massa da semente n��o �� uma caracter��stica importante para a germina����o. No entanto, h�� uma rela����o positiva entre massa da semente e biomassa da pl��ntula. Sendo que esta biomassa depende do status da popula����o, ou seja, se defaunada ou n��o defaunada. Pois este padr��o encontrado, talvez se deva a fatores gen��ticos, os quais podem estar sendo determinados pela perda das aves dispersoras, ou seja, efeitos da defauna����o na ecologia reprodutiva da esp��cie vegetal

Uso do modelo de simula����o 'ABC 6' para avalia����o de ��reas sujeitas �� ocorr��ncia de ondas de cheia e corridas de massa/detritos: estudo de caso na bacia do Ribeir��o da Prata (SP)

Pipelines are linear engineering works, designed mostly for transporting oil and its derivatives for long distances, furnishing even the farthermost zones of the country. Due to oil sector needs to ensure for the safety and conservation of its properties, several geotechnical studies are being held at the pipelines field, in order to preserve this important transportation, and also to prevent accidents, which might seriously compromise the environment and the population who lives around it. The OSBRA pipeline, who connects the city of Paul��nia to the capital Bras��lia, is one of these engineering works that deserves to be pointed out. This research, performed at the Ribeir��o da Prata Basin, was a pilot study conducted with the main objective of testing the current methodology efficiency, for future applications in the closest watersheds to the OSBRA pipeline. The objective of this research is to analyze flood wave and debris flow processes in a non-fictional watershed, by comparing two different kinds of methods: the first one based on simulation models (software ���ABC 6���), and the other one by flood wave and debris flow susceptibility mapping. The results from the hydrological modeling were both hydrographs and ietographs that estimated values of outputs and infiltration. To construct the susceptibility maps were necessary three other maps: ground use and occupation maps, divided according to the different protection degrees that were offered to the ground; maps of dam locations in the area and physiographic compartimentation maps, divided according to the local geology. To complete the methodology, the results were collected from both methods for comparison. The obtained product for this methodology was series of data whose different susceptibility degrees to flood wave and debris flow could define the safest route for a pipeline crossing in this watershed...

Elabora����o de mapa de susceptibilidade de corridas de massa/detritos e ondas de cheia, aplicado a empreendimentos dutovi��rios, na bacia hidrogr��fica do Ribeir��o da Prata (SP)

Given the intense expansion of the industries in Brazil and the discovery of hydrocarbons in the pre-salt layer of the Santos and Campos Basin, there is a need to expand the distribution of oil and gas network in the country. The present work aims to present the development of susceptibility map by two distinct methods of two events (debris flows and full wave), applied to the establishment of pipelines on Ribeir��o da Prata Basin. The research area covers two municipalities: S��o Jo��o da Boa Vista and ��guas da Prata, in total 145 km2. In the paper was used the methodology proposed by Zaine (2011) for the physiographic subdivision method, which uses geological maps, geomorphological maps, digital terrain models and aerial photographs, used to extract the main elements of the physical environment, as rivers, lines, ridges, tops forms and valley forms and historical processes. Thus, the basin was divided into 11 physiographic zones, considering the following elements: thickness of soil, rock type, geomorphology, amplitude, ridges orientation, erosion occurences and mass movements. Were subsequently performed location maps of dams, that had as main purpose to localize major dams in the study area along with their area and perimeter of the reservoir, and land use map that subdivided the area in woody vegetation, permanent culture, temporary culture and urban area. Along with the preparation of the auxiliar maps was conducted a field campaign with three days and approximately 2 points per km2, which aimed to better understand the physical environment and check the main peculiarities of the study area. Criteria have been established for susceptibility maps physiographic subdivision and land use, and a survey of criteria weights used in each map for both processes under study. For the preparation of susceptibility maps were adopted two different methods, which treat the weighted average and the multiplicand. The weighted average method it is...
