A discussion concerning marine eutrophication, possible generated from an imbalance of fish population is presented. Simulations through a code in FORCE 2.0 considering a predator-prey model have been made and the numerical results for a three different fish species were plot in ORIGIN code. The populations considered in this study were: Sardines being prey and both mackerel and tuna being the sardine’s predators. Some hipotheses concerning to the marine eutrophication have being made according to the stages of the dynamics of the system. For situations were the prey’s populationis very low, the quality of the water experiences a strong depreciation leading to a possible eutrophication of the water.

The ozone therapy is the therapeutic administration of ozone, which can be: subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM) Intradiscal; intracavitary (pleural and peritoneal spaces); intravaginal, intrauretral, in the bladder; ozonated autohemotherapy. This therapy is being increasingly studied in order to help in some treatments and is being proven to be very effective in most cases, especially in acting on disinfection and healing of extensive wounds. There are over 6000 articles on the medical use of ozone in the literature, but the concentration used varies with each author. Most diseases have a positive response because ozone increases tissue oxygenation and metabolism. Discovered in Germany in the nineteenth century, ozone therapy still needs further study to clarify its mode of action and demonstrate its benefits. The objective of this review is to discuss some of the studies in the literature and try to clarify the main directions and forms of action of ozone therapy in medicine, showing the possibilities of getting good results including in veterinary medicine

In many movies of scientific fiction, machines were capable of speaking with humans. However mankind is still far away of getting those types of machines, like the famous character C3PO of Star Wars. During the last six decades the automatic speech recognition systems have been the target of many studies. Throughout these years many technics were developed to be used in applications of both software and hardware. There are many types of automatic speech recognition system, among which the one used in this work were the isolated word and independent of the speaker system, using Hidden Markov Models as the recognition system. The goals of this work is to project and synthesize the first two steps of the speech recognition system, the steps are: the speech signal acquisition and the pre-processing of the signal. Both steps were developed in a reprogrammable component named FPGA, using the VHDL hardware description language, owing to the high performance of this component and the flexibility of the language. In this work it is presented all the theory of digital signal processing, as Fast Fourier Transforms and digital filters and also all the theory of speech recognition using Hidden Markov Models and LPC processor.

O emprego significativo de polímeros na sociedade moderna causou um grande desenvolvimento tecnológico em torno de sua produção a partir do petróleo. Contudo a limitação crescente de disponibilidade e as altas sucessivas do preço do petróleo têm estimulado, cada vez mais, novas pesquisas no desenvolvimento de biopolímeros provenientes de recursos renováveis. O biopolímero dextrana tem origem da conversão do substrato promovida pela enzima dextranasacarase que é secretada por micro-organismos principalmente pertencentes à família Lactobacillaceae. O objetivo desta pesquisa tem por meio do levantamento bibliográfico reunir conteúdos relacionados ao biopolímero dextrana, a enzima dextranasacarase, os micro-organismos produtores e suas aplicações industriais. Devido a algumas características da dextrana (Hidrofobicidade, estabilidade, pureza e habilidade de formar soluções claras e estáveis, entre outras), a mesma apresenta um grande leque de aplicações na indústria farmacêutica, alimentícia, petroquímica e química. As pesquisas que vinculam a dextrana às aplicações industriais estão em plena expansão e sabendo que a produção de dextrana é proveniente de recursos naturais renováveis e de origem microbiana, o momento atual é favorável para um aumento de sua produção, causando a valorização deste biopolímero no mercado nacional e internacional

O uso de novas tecnologias para o desenvolvimento de medicamentos constitui uma estratégia promissora no campo da biotecnologia. Nesse sentido, peptídeos com efeito antimicrobiano, produzidos por plantas, animais e microrganismos estão sendo utilizados como modelos para o desenvolvimento de novos medicamentos com aplicações em saúde. Resultados promissores têm sido obtidos em relação à inibição da atividade das enzimas bacterianas DNA girase e topoisomerase IV por derivados peptídicos de toxinas bacterianas, comprovados em ensaios in vitro. Porém, ensaios in vivo não demonstraram reprodutibilidade, basicamente devido à baixa permeabilidade da célula bacteriana a estes compostos. Desta forma, o objetivo deste projeto consiste em aplicar sistemas eficientes para promover o acesso de moléculas peptídicas sintéticas derivadas de toxinas bacterianas, ao meio intracelular e, consequentemente, aos seus alvos intracelulares: as enzimas DNA girase e/ou topoisomerase IV. Com isso, pretendemos solucionar a barreira técnica em que se encontram as aplicações dessa classe de biomoléculas como precursores de novos agentes antibacterianos, o que certamente causaria um importante avanço nas pesquisas desenvolvidas pelo grupo

This study has as objective determining the chemical properties that serve as the basis for potential scientific and technological applications of seven species of fibrous plants cultivated in Brazil, which are: Banana” (Musa spp.), “Coco” (Cocos nucifera), Curauá (Ananas erectifolius), Fique (Furcraea andina), Piteira” (Furcraea gigantea), Sisal(Agave sisalana) and “Taboa” (Typha domingensis). The tests for determining the percent dry completely, extractives soluble in cold water, in hot water, in sodium hydroxide 1% and in ethanol-toluene, and the percentages of ash, hydrophobicity, lignin, holocellulose and cellulose were performed at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Agronomy College (FCA) of UNESP – Botucatu, São Paulo State. It also presents a literature review about these fibers and their potential applications. Differences between the results obtained and those found by other authors are possibly explained by variations on the origin of plant material, the harvest season, the climate and soil where they were grown. However, the results and the methodology used, serve as a basis for further studies with natural fibers

Electrical installations in industries involving high currents and voltages considered. On the other side is the common appearance of electrical failures, caused by human error, defects in electrical equipment or electrical installation aging itself. These failures are varied, those with the highest rate of occurrence and cause much damage to electrical installations, are overcurrent and overvoltage. Therefore there is a need to project a system that can detect and minimize possible effects caused by faults in electrical installations industries. Protection systems in electric industries emerge as an alternative to control especially voltage and current magnitudes. Engineered based on the functions of the relays, protection systems are an indispensable tool for any industrial substation. But the project of such systems becomes increasingly more complex, due to technological development. Electrical equipment not develop at the same speed that the protective devices (relays), making it indispensable knowledge of integration of technologies

As proteínas da família TRF2 (“TTAGGG repeat-binding factor 2”) fazem parte de complexos multiprotéicos responsáveis pela manutenção dos telômeros de alguns eucariotos. Elas apresentam domínios funcionais que a caracterizam como proteínas que interagem com DNA telomérico na forma de dupla fita. São eles, o domínio de interação com o DNA do tipo Myb-like, localizado na porção C-terminal, um domínio acídico N-terminal e um domínio de homodimerização TRFH (“TRF homology domain for homodimerization”). A proteína TRF2 também está envolvida na formação de estruturas teloméricas terminais denominadas “t-loops”. O intuito deste projeto é a clonagem, expressão em vetor bacteriano (pMAL) e a purificação de uma proteína homóloga as proteínas teloméricas TRFs humana em parasitas do gênero Leishmania, especificamente a espécie Leishmania amazonensis (LaTRF). Primeiramente foram desenhados iniciadores (primers) utilizados para a amplificação da sequência LaTRF por PCR. O(s) produto(s) de amplificação foram clonados em vetores de clonagem para produtos de PCR e sequenciados para análise. Uma vez obtida a seqüência da LaTRF, o inserto contendo o gene foi subclonado direcionalmente e na mesma fase de leitura do vetor de expressão bacteriano (pMAL-c5x, NEB) para obtenção e futura purificação da proteína recombinante. Verificou-se a expressão da proteína recombinante LaTRF utilizando SDS-PAGE e “Western Blot”. Pelos resultados obtidos na análise de expressão em pequena escala da proteína recombinante, foi observado possíveis indícios de que esta esteja sendo expressa. Com isso, torna-se possível a tentativa de uma expressão em grande escala utilizando esse mesmo sistema bacteriano (pMAL) a fim de se obter a proteína purificada que poderá ser futuramente utilizada para ensaios de “pull-down” dentre outras aplicações

O presente trabalho busca apresentar os conceitos principais referentes à Teoria do Desenho de Mecanismos e sua aplicação à Teoria dos Conflitos Internacionais, e como sua utilização pode solucionar alguns problemas referentes à metodologia mais utilizada na análise dos conflitos, baseada na Teoria dos Jogos tradicional. Através de uma análise game-free, estabelecem condições gerais para a resolução de conflitos entre países, sem a necessidade de estabelecer formas de jogo específicas. Desse modo, determinam-se resultados para qualquer equilíbrio de qualquer forma de jogo que envolva países em disputa. O trabalho segue apresentando a relação causal entre incerteza e incentivos para revelar de maneira desonesta informações privadas como causas fundamentais de guerra. Analisam-se separadamente as condições que levam à guerra em dois tipos de incerteza, constantemente discutidas na literatura de conflitos internacionais: incerteza em relação ao custo de guerra e em relação à força relativa. Os resultados são apresentados com a devida formulação matemática

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is studied since 1938, is a technique used in medicine to produce high quality images from inside the human body. These images are produced non-invasively and without ionizing radiation. In addition, MRI is an extremely flexible technique, with which it is possible to produce images with different contrasts that provide different information about the anatomy, structure and function of the human body, and it is therefore one of the techniques preferred by radiologists. The phenomenon of MRI is based on the interaction of magnetic fields with the nuclear spins of the scanned sample. In this work a detailed study of the technique of magnetic resonance imaging is presented, with a description of the main features of the images produced by the technique and an analysis of its application to the fields of applications Neurology and Neuroscience
