The teaching of general chemistry involves both the choice and the organization of its concepts. Although College Teachers make their choices, frequently the text books play an important role in this selection. In the present project we intend to show what are Teachers' perceptions of conceptual organization and selection as well as their perceptions of how to teach general chemistry. This demonstration is carried out through the use of metaphors from new information technologies.

Despite of being used as thermodynamic criterion to rank alkene stability in a number of undergraduate textbooks, the heat of hydrogenation does not describe adequately the relative stability of disubstituted alkenes. In this work, both the heat of formation and the heat of combustion were used as thermodynamic criteria to rank correctly the stability of alkenes according to the degree of alkyl substitution and also in the disubstituted series (geminal > trans > cis). An operational model based on molecular orbital and valence bond representations of hyperconjugation is proposed to show how this effect can explain the order of stability of this class of compounds.

Nanotechnology can be viewed as a powerful tool, capable of shaping the chemistry of atoms and molecules, converting them into exciting nanosized and nanostructured materials, devices and machines. However, in pursuing this task, an exceptional ability is required to deal with complex inter- and multidisciplinary approaches, as imposed by the nanoscale. A new research organization framework, capable of promoting cooperative interactions in many complementary areas, including the industries, is demanded. In this sense, an interesting example are the nanotechnology networks and millenium institutes recently created in Brazil. The highlights and weakness of such cooperative research networks are discussed, in addition to relevant nanotechnology themes focusing on the special needs and resources from the developing nations.

Chemical research in Brazil has grown significantly in the past 20 years, largely thanks to the Brazilian S&T Development Program of the federal government (PADCT). However, the newly achieved levels of highly qualified manpower and research infra-structure require new research organization frameworks to make science, technology and innovation really useful and meaningful for the citizens. The current requirements for creating viable networks of academic and industry researchers are presented and discussed as well as some structural and procedural bottlenecks that have to be eliminated, to achieve maximum high-quality science, technology and relevant innovation output.

Residues of herbicides from sugarcane were monitored in waters and sediments of Corumbataí River and tributaries. Ametryne, atrazine, simazine, hexazinone, glyphosate, and clomazone were detected in water samples, with negligible levels of ametryne and glyphosate in sediment samples. The area of recharge of the Guarani aquifer presented the highest triazine and clomazone levels. The triazines were detected at higher levels, with atrazine above Brazil's potability and quality standards. Total herbicide levels at some sampling points were 13 times higher than the European Community potability limit. There is no Brazilian standard for ametryne, although the risk is larger due to ametryne's higher toxicity for the aquatic biota.

In this manuscript, seasonal and spatial trends of water collected from two sampling places in the Preto River in the Turvo-Grande watershed were evaluated. Water samples were collected during June/07 to July/08 and parameters sulphate, total organic carbon, ammonia, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, dissolved total solids and nitrate were quantified. Seasonal trend indicated sanitary effluents as a point source of contamination in both sampling points. Vertical trends demonstrated that the Municipal Dam was not stratified and received a diffuse source of pollutants from flooding and agriculture runoffs. It was also verified that there is relatively fast ammonia consumption kinetics having a half-life time of 1.43 h which can explain the low ammonia concentrations found in these aquatic bodies.

The interest in the chemistry of cobalt (II) tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (PcTsCo) comes mainly from its macrocycle-ligand structure combined with their special chemical characteristics, such as high solubility, well-defined redox reactions and remarkable optical absorption in the visible region. In this work, we use layer-by-layer technique in order to assemble CoTsPc and poly(allylaminehydrochloride) (PAH) in hybrid supramolecular system. The electronic spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry techniques were utilized to study PAH/CoTsPc multilayers growth and the cysteine catalytic oxidation. PAH/CoTsPc showed high electrochemical stability and worthwhile to mention is the remarkable influence of supramolecular arrangement on the final redox properties of the system.

This work aims to study spatial and seasonal variability of some chemical-physical parameters in the Turvo/Grande watershed, São Paulo State, Brazil. Water samples were taken monthly, 2007/07-2008/11, from fourteen sampling stations sited along the Turvo, Preto and Grande Rivers and its main tributaries. The Principal Component Analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis showed two distinct groups in this watershed, the first one associated for the places more impacted by domestic effluent (lower levels of dissolved oxygen in the studied region). The sampling places located to downstream (Turvo and Grande rivers) were discriminate by diffuse source of pollutants from flooding and agriculture runoffs in a second group.

Spatiotemporal pattern formation in reaction-transport systems takes place spontaneously when the system is kept far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Targets, reaction fronts, waves, spirals, spots and stripes are some typical examples of selforganized structuring. In electrochemical systems, monitoring spatiotemporal patterns of potential in the solid/liquid interface can be done by the use of equally distributed microprobes located close to the working electrode. However, the physical size of each probe can limit the spatial resolution and alter mass transport properties. In contrast, the direct measurement of discrete electrodes does not suffer from this limitation and allows the accurate manipulation of the spatial coupling through changes in resistors connected to the electric circuit. In this paper, the development of an electrochemical setup for multichannel data acquisition with spatiotemporal resolution is described, especially to monitor low levels of currents usually observed in the electro-oxidation of small organic molecules.

In this study, we report the preparation of a new tetra-substituted epoxide aldehyde cyclopentane, which acts as a starting material for the synthesis of plinol, from (R)-(+)-epoxy-limonene. The synthesis was performed in three steps and resulted in a good yield. The structural determination was performed by 1H and 13C NMR, and the relative stereochemistry was defined by nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiments with computer calculations of molecular modeling, particularly with respect to indirect coupling constant calculations.

A evolução de lançamentos e de flores de cupuaçuzeiro (Theobroma grandiflorum) com sintomas de vassoura-de-bruxa e a produção de basidiocarpos do patógeno (Crinipellis perniciosa) foram monitoradas em plantas enxertada e não-enxertadas de um campo experimental no município de Belém, PA. Modelos epidemiológicos (logístico, Gompertz, e as somas logístico + logístico e Gompertz + Gompertz) foram ajustados a curvas de progresso da doença bianuais (1993 e 1994 para incidência da doença em lançamentos e basidiocarpos produzidos nesses lançamentos) e anuais (1994), para incidência da doença em flores e basidiocarpos produzidos nessas flores. A soma de duas equações logísticas apresentou bom ajuste aos dados bianuais e o modelo logístico, aos dados anuais. O início da manifestação dos sintomas esteve, geralmente, associado ao período seco enquanto que a produção de basidiocarpos coincidiu com o período chuvoso. A maior emissão de vassouras-de-bruxa ocorreu de julho a outubro e a maior frutificação, entre maio e julho.

The progress of the severity of southern rust in maize (Zea mays) caused by Puccinia polysora was quantified in staggered plantings in different geographical areas in Brazil, from October to May, over two years (1995-1996 and 1996-1997). The logistic model, fitted to the data, better described the disease progress curves than the Gompertz model. Four components of the disease progress curves (maximum disease severity; area under the disease progress curve, AUDPC; area under the disease progress curve around the inflection point, AUDPCi; and epidemic rate) were used to compare the epidemics in different areas and at different times of planting. The AUDPC, AUDPCi, and the epidemic rate were analyzed in relation to the weather (temperature, relative humidity, hours of relative humidity >90%, and rainfall) and recorded during the trials. Disease severity reached levels greater than 30% in Piracicaba and Guaíra in the plantings between December and January. Lower values of AUDPC occurred in later plantings at both locations. The epidemic rate was positively correlated (P < 0.05) with the mean daily temperatures and negatively correlated with hours of relative humidity >90%. The AUDPC was not correlated with any weather variable. The AUDPCi was negatively related to both variables connected to humidity, but not to rain. Long periods (mostly >13 h day-1) of relative humidity >90% (that corresponded to leaf wetness) occurred in Castro. Severity of southern rust in maize has always been low in Castro, thus the negative correlations between disease and the two humidity variables.

Este trabalho objetivou esclarecer se o progresso da Clorose Variegada dos Citros (CVC) diferia entre três regiões de São Paulo, distintas quanto à incidência da CVC em citrus (Citrus spp.). Foram avaliadas três áreas, Noroeste, Centro e Sul de São Paulo, durante dois anos, em avaliações quinzenais, quando eram mapeadas as plantas sintomáticas. Tentou-se o ajuste de nove modelos ao progresso da doença, além do ajuste de três modelos a segmentos das curvas originais. Foram estimadas também as diferenciais e as diferenciais secundárias de cada curva de progresso. Apenas quando as curvas foram divididas é que foram obtidos bons ajustes aos modelos de progresso. A diferencial (velocidade da doença) e diferencial secundária (aceleração do aparecimento de novas plantas doentes) apresentaram diversos picos ao longo do tempo. Esses picos ocorreram em meses de Primavera e Verão. Levanta-se aqui a hipótese de que os picos de diferencial - incomuns na quantidade encontrada - estejam relacionados a determinados picos de emissão de brotações, já que as novas brotações são o local preferido de alimentação dos vetores de Xylella fastidiosa.

Objetivou-se no presente trabalho caracterizar o progresso espaço-temporal da severidade da antracnose do feijoeiro comum e da ramulose do algodoeiro por meio da Geoestatística. Os experimentos foram conduzidos no campo, durante o período das águas, em diferentes épocas. Sementes inoculadas pelo método da restrição hídrica foram semeadas no centro de parcelas experimentais constituindo fonte de inóculo do tipo ponto. Foram realizadas semanalmente seis avaliações da severidade das doenças com base em escalas de notas. Pelos modelos de semivariograma isotrópicos esféricos e gaussianos ajustados aos dados, verificou-se o padrão de distribuição agregado e a dependência espacial de ambos os patossistemas. Com o mapeamento da severidade das doenças pelo método da krigagem ordinária em blocos, verificou-se menor severidade das doenças nos primeiros estádios, com aumento gradual ao longo do tempo. A antracnose apresentou formação inicial de focos de inóculo secundário, além do foco com inóculo inicial, que coalesceram com o tempo. A severidade da ramulose diminuiu gradualmente de forma radial e contínua do centro da parcela para as extremidades, com maior capacidade de infecção de plantas vizinhas, quando comparada à antracnose, possivelmente pela maior agressividade do patógeno e hábito de crescimento arbustivo do algodoeiro.
