Ecologia molecular como ferramenta no estudo populacional do último megamamífero sulamericano: a anta (Tapirus terrestris) no Pantanal de Nhecolândia, MS

O presente estudo foi desenvolvido no Núcleo São Miguel Arcanjo do Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho, situado na Serra de Paranapiacaba, região sudeste do estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Quantificaram-se os regenerantes lenhosos ≤ 10 cm de altura sob interferência da cobertura de Calathea communis Wanderley & S. Vieira (Maranthaceae), envolvendo os ambientes de encosta e fundo de vale, em três períodos: junho e outubro de 2011, assim como em fevereiro de 2012. Foram utilizados os parâmetros de densidade, sobrevivência e colonização (input) para a caracterização da regeneração. No sorteio dos pontos de amostragem, cada um de 6transectos (aproximadamente 1 Km de extensão) foi sub-dividido em 20 frações de 50 metros, sendo sorteados 10 pontos por transecção. Do total de 120 parcelas (1X1m) que amostraram as plântulas, 60 localizaram-se em ambiente de fundo de vale e 60 na encosta, sendo que em cada condição topográfica 30 parcelas foram montadas sob a cobertura de C.communis e 30 na sua ausência. Os dados foram discutidos com base na aplicação de uma análise de variância fatorial, associada ao teste de Tukey de comparação de médias “a posteriori”. Observou-se que, para a densidade, a presença e ausência de Calathea communis geraram diferenças significativas (p≤0,05) nos períodos de outubro/2011 e fevereiro/2012, no entanto, para os ambientes topográficos só ocorreu variação significativa da densidade no período de fevereiro/2012. Quanto à sobrevivência, as diferenças significativas foram relacionadas à topografia, mas apenas no período de fevereiro/2012. Considerando-se os valores de input, estes foram maiores nas parcelas situadas em fundo de vale e em condições de ausência de Calathea, embora tais diferenças não sejam significativas (p≥0,05), segundo indicações da análise de variância

Estudo da deposição de energia das radiofrequências através do método das diferenças finitas dependentes do tempo Monografia

Radiotherapy in veterinary practice is already known and widely distributed in large specialized centers of developed countries. In early 2000, there were about 30 radiotherapy equipment specifically designed for the veterinary clinic in the United States. In Brazil, the veterinary radiotherapy is still confined to research in universities, where most of the procedures is radiation therapy performed with superficial x-ray machines, with a voltage between 50 and 150 kVp, focus-distance surface (DFS) between 20,0cm and 40,0cm. As that occurs in human medicine, new research strengthens the development and prospects for the use of radiotherapy as a safe option for treating cancer in animals. This paper presents a methodology for calculating the exposure time for superficial radiotherapy procedures in veterinary medicine for small animals (dogs and cats). The dosimetric parameters of X-rays are determined using a spreadsheet tool for Microsoft Office Excel, developed in this paper for a device Dermopan 2, Veterinary Hospital of UNESP in Araçatuba. Using the worksheet helps the veterinarian to determine the time of exposure to radiation determined for each clinical case, optimize the workflow for professionals in veterinary radiotherapy procedures, which often lack the medical physics in team and at the time of radiotherapy. The correct use of spreadsheet decreases the chances of errors in dose rates of radiation, providing a higher quality of care

Blog corporativo como ferramenta da Intranet

This project aimed at discussing about the possibility of transforming a corporate blog into an Intranet tool. The objective is to make the internal communication more interactive by bringing the employee closer to the organization through conversing in a less formal environment. In the first series of discussions, issues such as how the organizational communication works as a whole, which communications vehicles are normally used to reach the target group and the role of public relations in the organizational communication, were conducted aiming the discussion around the internal communication and the personnel, one of the objectives of this paper. Following these discussions, the focal points was around digital communication and its possibilities in the organization, as well as talking about and discussing the blog and the Intranet. Finally a theoretical discussion was conducted concerning the possibilities of turning this corporate blog into an Intranet tool and the reasons why public relations should manage this new communications tool

A dengue como ferramenta de interdisciplinaridade e popularização científica entre estudantes de ensino fundamental

The majority of the population knows their role in dengue control, preventing the accumulation of water in containers as potential breeding sites of Aedes aegypti, the main vector of dengue. Also known chemical control, widely used by the institutions responsible for the control of endemic diseases. On the other hand, unaware that an alternative measure such biological control through a microbial biopesticide, safe, harmless to health and the environment, can be adopted. Thus, this work reported for elementary school students, simply and clearly, the biological control of mosquitoes through bacterial biopesticide produced locally. Moreover, promoted the interdisciplinary teaching of science and mathematics through the data tabulation and charting on interviews conducted by students, about the level of knowledge of the population about dengue and other related variables.

Analise das emissões de CO2 e de energia - simulação com novas tecnologias siderúrgicas

The process of steel production emits a large quantity of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide (CO2), and the reduction of such emissions is one of the main challenges for the industry in the 21st. Century. To quantify these emissions, the Worldsteel Association (association of the 170 large steel manufacturers of the world) published a methodology (CO2 Emission Data Collection) for calculation and comparison of CO2 emissions among its members. After that, in 2010, this methodology became an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) norm. Today, the calculation of the CO2 emissions in steel making companies follow the ISO 14404-1 for units with blast furnaces and the ISO 14404-2 for units with electric furnaces. In the last years, new technologies were and continue to be developed for the steel making sector aiming at energetic improvements and greenhouse gas reductions (mainly CO2) by the several processes involved in the production of steel. This work had the objective of producing a tool to calculate the CO2 emissions for the steel making sector. An Excel spreadsheet was developed to calculate the emission intensities of CO2 of a steel plant, the Usina Presidente Vargas, of the Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN). The spreadsheet furnishes results of CO2 emissions and energetic fluxes, and simulates the benefits that some of the new technologies can give to the company. The spreadsheet calculates the emissions in two ways: a) based on the carbon fluxes that enter the unit, and b) based on the emissions of each specific process within the unit (coking, sinterization, blast furnace, among others)
