Acesso à informação geográfica: reflexões sobre a importância das Infraestruturas de Dados Espaciais (IDE) nas políticas públicas

This article discusses the access to geographic information and its importance for the public policies formulation, reflecting on the implementation of the Spatial Data Infrastructure. The data view and the maps construction are useful for identifying needs and sponsoring public managers in decision making. The public policies implementation stages are optimized when the quantitative and qualitative information are integrated to the spatial phenomena relations. The improvement in the use of geographic information for decision making will be achieved when spatial data are efficiently generated in spatial data infrastructures.

Fresamento de madeiras de média densidade: MDF

The technological expansion and market manufactured wood as wood paneling makes the research of processes involving this material are increasingly necessary . The present study examines the milling process MDF - fiberboard with average density endmill with helical teeth , with the analysis of the surface finish by evaluating the surface roughness ( Ra) and analysis of the power consumption . We analyzed three types of cuts in milling : concordant , discordant , and cut top . We used 5 rpm (6000 , 8000 , 10000 , 12000 and 14000 RPM) , establishing five-speed cutting, 301 , 402 ,502, 603 and 703 m / min respectively. Five forward speeds and 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 m / min. Each condition was repeated six times , totaling 180 tests. The results of roughness were obtained from rugosimeter data and the power consumption were obtained by Hall-effect sensor . These results were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance and Tukey test . Finally it was concluded that there are few significant differences between the results themselves vary roughness when cutting speeds and feed and no major differences in power consumption . The best surface quality and lower power consumption were for cutting speed of 703 m / min . To varying forward speed , the speed of 4 m / min showed better surface quality and lower power consumption

Association of titanium mesh and bovine pericardium membrane in the treatment of severe enophthalmos

The blowout fractures may be classified as pure or impure depending on the associated structures. There are 2 main theories attempting to describe the mechanism of injury, the hydraulic, and blocking mechanism. The complications of this type of fracture may involve diplopia, enophthalmos, and ocular movement restriction. Several materials are available for the reconstruction of orbital floor, including the titanium mesh, which present great properties, such as easy modeling and stabilization, small thickness, and shape maintenance. There, however, are disadvantages such as the possibility of adherence formation. The aim of this report is to describe the case of a patient with an 8-month blowout fracture sequel, presenting extensive enophthalmos and treated by affixing a titanium mesh associated with bovine pericardium membrane in the orbital floor. Therefore, based on a 2-year follow-up, it was possible to observe how effective the association between these 2 materials in solving the case was.

Differential Expression of ADAM23, CDKN2A (P16), MMP14 and VIM Associated with Giant Cell Tumor of Bone

Though benign, giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) can become aggressive and can exhibit a high mitotic rate, necrosis and rarely vascular invasion and metastasis. GCTB has unique histologic characteristics, a high rate of multinucleated cells, a variable and unpredictable growth potential and uncertain biological behavior. In this study, we sought to identify genes differentially expressed in GCTB, thus building a molecular profile of this tumor. We performed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), immunohistochemistry and analyses of methylation to identify genes that are putatively associated with GCTB. The expression of the ADAM23 and CDKN2A genes was decreased in GCTB samples compared to normal bone tissue, measured by qPCR. Additionally, a high hypermethylation frequency of the promoter regions of ADAM23 and CDKN2A in GCTB was observed. The expression of the MAP2K3, MMP14, TIMP2 and VIM genes was significantly higher in GCTB than in normal bone tissue, a fact that was confirmed by qPCR and immunohistochemistry. The set of genes identified here furthers our understanding of the molecular basis of GCTB.
