Lygia Pape e Hélio Oiticica: conversações e fricções poéticas

Este trabalho visa examinar as obras: o ovo, divisor, roda dos prazeres, tecelares, tteia n 1, caixa de baratas, caixa de formigas, caixa brasil, ballets neoconcretos, new houses e os filmes e vídeos experimentais de Lygia Pape, em conexões poéticas com os parangolés, penetráveis, bilaterais, relevos espaciais, metaesquemas, núcleos, bólides, cosmococas e a tropicália de Hélio Oiticica. A análise é feita a partir do interesse antropológico dos citados artistas, do seu comprometimento com a formação de uma linguagem-Brasil e do forte experimentalismo de suas proposições; enfoca o movimento, a questão cromática, a construção de mundos, o papel do espectador em seus trabalhos, além da presença da adversidade brasileira como estímulo para as suas produções. Sendo assim, obras como o divisor, as tecelares, a tteia n 1, os parangolés e penetráveis são referidas em diferentes momentos do texto, uma vez que lidam com várias das questões propostas, enquanto trabalhos como os metaesquemas, as bilaterais e os relevos espaciais, aparecem somente em um capítulo, sendo analisadas por apenas um viés, embora existam outras possibilidades. Para embasar as leituras visuais, são utilizadas como fontes bibliográficas os textos e entrevistas dos artistas, além de escritos dos teóricos Aby Warburg, Georges Didi-Huberman, Stanley Cavell, Vilém Flusser, Ronaldo Brito, Guy Brett, Rodrigo Naves, Paola Berenstein Jacques, Michel Collot, entre outros.

Arte & Educação em cultura visual: ensino, sentido, presença e invasões das imagens nos cotidianos

Parte da hipótese que a obra poética, artística ou não, tem força para além da mediação da palavra, ou seja, da afirmação de sentidos que obliterariam a eloquência da presença. Busca discorrer sobre a teoria da presença e sua importância na interlocução com a produção poética nas artes visuais contemporâneas. Aponta a utilidade dessa argumentação como perspectiva para problematizar a Cultura Visual e defender o investimento na elucidação do universo das imagens visuais como elemento de formação humana em sintonia com as questões da alteridade e com os tempos de hoje. Entende que o estudo equalizador entre as imagens visuais e as obras de arte visual favorece a autonomia dos indivíduos e o melhor aproveitamento do mundo das artes com menor risco de sujeição às hegemonias culturais

On the occurrence of mature penaeid prawn Penaeus merguensis in a shallow solar salt works reservoir along the Okhamandal Coast of Gulf of Kutch and its spawning in laboratory

Penaeus merguensis is so far reported to attain complete maturity and spawn in the sea or deep culture ponds only. Mature specimens of stage III to V collected from a shallow reservoir of solar saltworks were studied and spawned in laboratory. A comparison of spawning of spawner from sea and reservoir is also reported.

The potential for thermal energy recovery from wastewater treatment works in Southern England

There is potential to extract energy from wastewater in a number of ways, including: kinetic energy using micro-hydro systems, chemical energy through the incineration of sludge, biomass energy from the biogas produced after anaerobic sludge digestion, and thermal energy as heat. This paper considers the last option and asks how much heat could be recovered under UK climatic conditions and can this heat be used effectively by wastewater treatment plants to reduce their carbon footprint? Four wastewater treatment sites in southern England are investigated and the available heat that can be recovered at those sites is quantified. Issues relating to the environmental, economic and practical constraints on how energy can be realistically recovered and utilised are discussed .The results show there is a definite possibility for thermal energy recovery with potential savings at some sites of up to 35,000 tonnes of total long-cycle carbon equivalent (fossil fuel) emissions per year being achievable. The paper also shows that the financial feasibility of three options for using the heat (either for district heating, sludge drying or thermophilic heating in sludge digestion processes) is highly dependant upon the current shadow price of carbon. Without the inclusion of the cost of carbon, the financial feasibility is significantly limited. An environmental constraint for the allowable discharge temperature of effluent after heat-extraction was found to be the major limitation to the amount of energy available for recovery. The paper establishes the true potential of thermal energy recovery from wastewater in English conditions and the economic feasibility of reducing the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment operations using this approach.

Assemble of poly(aniline-co-o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) three-dimensional tubal net-works onto ITO electrode and its application for the direct electrochemistry and electrocatalytic behavior of cytochrome c

Stable electroactive film of poly(aniline-co-o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) three-dimensional tubal net-works was assembled on indium oxide glass (ITO) successfully, and the cytochrome c was immobilized on the matrix by the electrostatic interactions. The adsorbed cytochrome c showed a good electrochemical activity with a pair of well-defined redox waves in pH 6.2 phosphate buffer solution, and the adsorbed protein showed more faster electron transfer rate (12.9 s(-1)) on the net-works matrix than those of on inorganic porous or even nano-materials reported recently. The immobilized cytochrome c exhibited a good electrocatalytic activity and amperometric response (2 s) for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The detection limit for H2O2 was 1.5 mu M, and the linear range was from 3 mu M to 1 mM. Poly(aniline-co-o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) three-dimensional tubal net-works was proved to be a good matrix for protein immobilization and biosensor preparation.

Timber grading seminar - Some things you should know about how strength grading works and what is changing in the standards.

Presentations from the seminar on timber grading. "This grading seminar will give you a crash course in timber strength grading, what it is, how it works, and how it is changing. It aims to demystify timber grading, tackle some widely held misconceptions, and tell you the things you need to be aware of to improve profitability, and remain correct and safe in what you do. The timber resource in the UK is changing, technology is advancing, and standards are being modified. This seminar will bring you the latest position, informed by CEN and BSI standards committee work and research conducted by the SIRT network."
