"Banquete-ê-mo-nos" : uma relação entre George Orwell e Ignácio de Loyola Brandão

O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar em 1984, de George Orwell, e em Não verás país nenhum, de Ignácio de Loyola Brandão, como aparecem as relações entre o homem e a sociedade. No contexto da pós-modernidade, onde estas relações fogem da mimesis, a exigência de versatilidade coloca em xeque os valores do projeto racional moderno e busca a transformação de um sujeito resistente a uma estrutura que escapa de seu controle. Fatores como memória, escritura, corpo, técnica, velocidade e meio-ambiente são elementos fundamentais da resposta necessária de um homem que tende a sucumbir em decorrência de suas próprias criações. Numa época em que o Estado passa a ser uma entidade transnacional, sem rosto e sem voz, cabe ao indivíduo inventar possíveis alternativas ou simplesmente gerenciar o caos.

EVOLUCAO DA CONCEPCAO DE NATUREZA E RELAÇÃO HOMEM/MEIO: ANALISE DE UNIDADES DE CONSERVAÇÃO NA AMERICA LATINA

O estabelecimento de Unidades de conservação é hoje um recurso usual quando se busca a proteção de ambientes naturais tidos como possuidores de grandes valores ecológicos. Esta, porém, não é uma prática recente. Tratando-se de América Latina, o primeiro parque nacional foi criado no México, em 1894. Sendo assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender as formas históricas de manejo de unidades de conservação no contexto latino americano, percebendo, através da análise de suas diferentes tipologias a evolução da concepção de natureza. O manejo também permite delinear as diferentes formas do homem perceber e se relacionar com a natureza, seja este relacionamento de forma direta ou indireta. “[...] o planeta e a comunidade humana se confundem num todo único. A presença do homem é um fato em toda a face da Terra, e a ocupação que não se materializa é, todavia, politicamente existente.” (SANTOS, 2008, p. 99). Sendo assim, as distintas formas de “ocupação política” mediatizada pelo contexto das unidades de conservação são também um foco deste trabalho. Para tanto, lança-se mão das noções de preservacionismo e conservacionismo bem como daquelas relacionadas à relação homem natureza (num contexto de áreas protegidas), focando no manejo como a principal destas.

NMR (1H, 13C) and MO (ab initio, CNDO/2, EHT) studies on basic and N-protonated hydrazinecarbothioamide

The conformational preferences of hydrazinecarbothioamide (HCTA, H2NNHCSNH2) in its basic and N-protonated (PHCTA, H3NNNHCSNH2) forms have been studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and by theoretical LCAO-MO methods (ab initio, CNDO/2 and EHT). The hindered rotation around the C---N bond has been investigated by a total line shape analysis for the thioamide protons and by the three MO methods. Changes in the molecular conformation and electronic structure on protonation are briefly discussed.

Hybrid game strategies for MO problems in aerospace design

Game strategies have been developed in past decades and used in the field of economics, engineering, computer science and biology due to their efficiency in solving design optimisation problems. In addition, research on Multi-Objective (MO) and Multidisciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO) has focused on developing robust and efficient optimisation method to produce quality solutions with less computational time. In this paper, a new optimisation method Hybrid Game Strategy for MO problems is introduced and compared to CMA-ES based optimisation approach. Numerical results obtained from both optimisation methods are compared in terms of computational expense and model quality. The benefits of using Game-strategies are demonstrated.

A reconsideration of phase relations in the Ti-Al-Mo and Ti-Al systems

A microstructural and X-ray investigation of Ti-AI-Mo alloys Ti-31 Al-15 Mo, Ti-31 Al-13 Mo, Ti-31Al-9Mo and Ti-35Al-9Mo (containing the Ti3Al, TiAl and β phases) indicates that the existing phase diagram of the ternary system for this composition range published by Ge Dhzhi-Min and Pylaeva is in error above 1473 K. An analysis of phase relations reveals that the error has arisen from their use of the Ti-AI diagram due to Bumps, Kessler and Hansen as a basis for generating the ternary. It is shown that a phase diagram of the ternary, consistent with the experimental results, can be generated using a version of the Ti-AI system due to Margolin. Simple geometric arguments are used to build up a new semi-quantitative description of the Ti-AI-Mo system which can be used as a basis for a detailed investigation of phase equilibria in this system.

Diffusion Parameters in the Nb-Mo System: Revisited

The variation of the interdiffusion coefficient with the change in composition in the Nb-Mo system is determined in the temperature range of 1800 °C to 1900 °C. It was found that the activation energy has a minimum at around 45 at. pct Nb. The values of the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy for diffusion are compared with the data available in the literature. Further, the impurity diffusion coefficients of Nb in Mo and Mo in Nb are calculated.

X-Ray Spectroscopic Studies of the Surface Species in Co-Mo-Al2O3 Hydrodesulphurization Catalysts

Octahedrally coordinated CoII and MoIV species are present on the surfaces of sulfided Co-Mo-Al2O3 catalysts used for hydrodesulfurization. They were characterized by XPE, EXAFS and XANES data. An excess of sulfur in the surface species can be explained in terms of the presence of S[stack 22 ] ions. Disulfide bridges could play a role in the hydrodesulfurization.

Topological close packed mu phase formation and the determination of diffusion parameters in the Co-Mo system

The study on the formation and growth of topological close packed (TCP) compounds is important to understand the performance of turbine blades in jet engine applications. These deleterious phases grow mainly by diffusion process in the superalloy substrate. Significant volume change was found because of growth of the p phase in Co-Mo system. Growth kinetics of this phase and different diffusion parameters, like interdiffusion, intrinsic and tracer diffusion coefficients are calculated. Further the activation energy, which provides an idea about the mechanism, is determined. Moreover, the interdiffusion coefficient in Co(Mo) solid solution and impurity diffusion coefficient of Mo in Co are determined.

Interdiffusion in the Ni-Mo system

The interdiffusion coefficient in Ni(Mo) solid solution, impurity diffusion of Mo in Ni, average interdiffusion coefficient of the NiMo-sigma phase and activation energies for diffusion in solid solution and in the sigma phase of the Ni-Mo binary system are evaluated through the diffusion couple approach. These results are utilized to identify the possible diffusion mechanism. Low activation energy in the sigma phase indicates a grain-boundary-controlled diffusion process.

Interdiffusion Studies in the Co- Mo System

Study of interdiffusion in the Co-Mo system is important to understand the performance of turbine blades in jet engine applications. Mo is added to superalloys to increase the solid solution strengthening and the creep resistance. In this study, the interdiffusion coefficient in the Co(Mo) solid solution and impurity diffusion coefficient of Mo in Co are determined. Further, the activation energy and pre-exponential factors are calculated, which provide an idea about the atomic mechanism of diffusion.

An EXAFS study of the Mo/TiO2 hydrodesulphurization catalysis

In-situ EXAFS studies of sulphided Mo/TiO2 catalysts have shown that at low Mo loadings (2–4 wt%), an active species with a short Mo-S distance of 2.25 Å is formed, while on Mo/TiO2 with high Mo loadings as well as on Mo/gamma-Al2O3, bulk MoS2 (Mo-S, 2.42 Å) is formed. The species with the short Mo-S distance has Mo in an oxidation state close to 6 + and is likely to result from the sulphidation of the tetrahedral molybdate species present in the oxidic precursor at low Mo loadings. The calcination temperature of the oxidic precursor appears crucial, a high calcination temperature of 973 K favouring the formation of MoS3 on sulphidation, and a low calcination temperature of 623 K favouring MoS2.
