A busca no aumento da vida útil dos transformadores de distribuição, redução dos custos de manutenção e mitigação de falhas, leva ao desenvolvimento de novos materiais e critérios de exploração diferenciados desses ativos. Esta pesquisa apresenta o desenvolvimento de um novo transformador de distribuição compacto e mais eficiente utilizando óleo vegetal isolante totalmente biodegradável. Além de biodegradável, o óleo vegetal utilizado possui menor agressividade ambiental e maior capacidade térmica aumentando, a capacidade de carregamento do transformador sem comprometer a sua vida útil. A fim de atestar essa menor agressividade em relação ao óleo mineral, ensaios foram efetuados em um equipamento que permaneceu 12 anos em operação. O equipamento foi totalmente desmontado para análise e coleta de amostras de papel e óleo vegetal isolante. As análises visam comprovar a menor agressividade em relação ao óleo mineral, apresentadas na revisão bibliográfica. A menor agressividade torna possível a proposição de uma nova filosofia de planejamento de redes de distribuição utilizando uma quantidade menor dos novos transformadores para uma mesma carga, tornando-a mais compacta e eficiente.

Ensaios anteriormente efetuados indicam que não existe nenhum procedimento recorrente em laboratório, que permita reproduzir adequadamente a compactação de campo. Como tal, surgiu na década de cinquenta do século passado, um equipamento de compactação de utilização manual que oferecia vantagens na realização de ensaios envolvidos em qualquer investigação ou trabalhos referentes à compactação de solos. Este permite a redução em termos de material, trabalho e tempo despendido e as suas reduzidas dimensões tornam-no portátil, com a possibilidade de ser utilizado para ensaios em campo. O equipamento designa-se por Compactador Miniatura de Harvard e o método de compactação que lhe está associado permite, segundo Wilson (1950), reproduzir com uma maior precisão a ação do cilindro pés-de-carneiro, utilizado frequentemente em obra sobre solos coesivos. Porém, para tal é necessário definir uma adequada combinação de molas, número de camadas e pressões por camada de forma a reproduzir com o compactador miniatura de Harvard valores aproximados aos valores que se obtêm tradicionalmente com o compactador de Proctor. Na presente dissertação apresentam-se os estudos realizados com o objetivo de completar as investigações promovidas anteriormente, por forma a desenvolver um procedimento adequado e possível de ser utilizado por entidades, não só em trabalhos laboratoriais como de campo.

Despite the importance of the study of roots, little is known about the negative effects of soil compaction in the development of the Caatinga forest species. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the initial growth of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia, Tabebuia caraiba and Erythina velutina in soil under varying levels of compression. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse located at the Academic Unit Specialized in Agricultural Sciences, UFRN. To perform the experiment, was used Oxisoil of sandy loam texture, from forest trial Area Agricultural School of Jundiaí (EAJ) of the municipality of Macaíba-RN, in an experimental unit consisting of three overlapping PVC rings, 10 cm in diameter and 25 cm in height, with a central ring which has undergone compression. The experimental design was a randomized block with six replications, being tested four levels of soil compaction (1.35; 1.45; 1.60 and 1.80 kg.dm-³), evaluating the following variables: diameter, height, number of leaves, dry weight of shoot and root system in each layer of the vessels. Overall, the species M. caesalpiniifolia, T. caraiba and E. velutina had initial growth favored by treatment consists of uncompressed soil. The M. caesalpiniifolia and T. caraiba species proved relatively resistant to compaction of the soil does not undergo any significant reduction in root growth density equal to or less than 1.60 kg.dm-³, whereas E. velutina proved susceptible effects of soil compaction, with significant changes in root growth under soil densities equal to or greater than 1.45 kg.dm-³. Increased soil compaction caused the impediment to the expansion of taproot inside the experimental units, promoting the accumulation of roots in the upper layers of the soil for the studied species. The subsoil physical impediment changed the initial aerial growth of M. caesalpiniifolia and E. velutina, but did not influence the growth of air T. caraiba seedlings the tested compression levels.

On the national scene, soybean crop occupies a prominent position in cultivated area and volume production, being cultivated largely in the no tillage system. This system, due to the intense traffic of machines and implements on its surface has caused soil compaction problems, which has caused the yield loss of crops. In order to minimize this effect the seeder-drill uses the systems to opening the furrow by shank or the double disc type. The use of the shank has become commonplace for allowing the disruption of the compacted surface layer, however requires greater energy demand and may cause excessive tillage in areas where there is not observed high levels of compaction. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of furrowers mechanisms and levels of soil compacting on traction requirement by a seeder-drill and on the growing and productivity of soybean in an Oxisol texture clay, in a two growing seasons. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with split plots with the main plots composed of four levels of soil compaction (N0 – no tillage without additional compaction, N1, N2 and N3 – no tillage subjected to compaction through two, four and six passes with tractor, respectively) corresponding to densities of soil 1.16, 1.20, 1.22 and 1.26 g cm-3, and subplots by two furrowers mechanisms (shank and double disc) with four replicates. To evaluate the average, maximum and specific traction force requested by the seeder-drill, was used a load cell, with capacity of 50 kN and sensitivity of 2 mV V-1, coupled between the tractor and seeder-drill, whose data are stored in a datalogger system model CR800 of Campbell Scientific. In addition, were evaluated the bulk density, soil mechanical resistance to penetration, sowing depth, depth and groove width, soil area mobilized, emergence speed index, emergence operation, final plant stand, stem diameter, plant height, average number of seeds per pod, weight of 1,000 seeds, number of pods per plant and crop productivity. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, the mean of furrowers were compared by Tukey test (p≤0.05), while for the factor soil compaction, polynomial regression analysis was adopted, selected models by the criterion of greater R2 and significance (p≤0.05) of equation parameters. Regardless of the crop season, penetration resistance increase as soil compaction levels up to around 0.20 m deep, and bulk density influenced the sowing quality parameters, however, did not affect the crop yield. In the first season, there was a higher productivity with the use of the shank type. In the second crop season, the shank demanded greater energetic requirement with the increase of bulk density and opposite situation with the double disc. The locking of sowing lines allow better performance of the shank to break the compacted layer.

Diversos estudos propõem a avaliação da trabalhabilidade de misturas betuminosas utilizando as curvas de compactação obtidas em laboratório. Utilizou-se um compactador giratório para produzir provetes de duas misturas, uma densa do tipo AC, e uma de granulometria descontínua, do tipo SMA. Foram determinados diversos parâmetros provenientes da modelação das curvas de compactação. Os resultados indicam uma adequação dos diversos parâmetros na caracterização das misturas, embora apresentem limitações na comparação de misturas de diferentes tipologias. Os resultados mostram que estes índices podem ser úteis em aplicações onde estas propriedades sejam importantes.

This paper presents two techniques to evaluate soil mechanical resistance to penetration as an auxiliary method to help in a decision-making in subsoiling operations. The decision is based on the volume of soil mobilized as a function of the considered critical soil resistance to penetration in each case. The first method, probabilistic, uses statistical techniques to define the volume of soil to be mobilized. The other method, deterministic, determines the percentage of soil to be mobilized and its spatial distribution. Both cases plot the percentage curves of experimental data related to the soil mechanical resistance to penetration equal or larger to the established critical level and the volume of soil to be mobilized as a function of critical level. The deterministic method plots showed the spatial distribution of the data with resistance to penetration equal or large than the critical level. The comparison between mobilized soil curves as a function of critical level using both methods showed that they can be considered equivalent. The deterministic method has the advantage of showing the spatial distribution of the critical points.

This work was done with the objective of studying some physical and mechanical characteristics of the sugarcane bagasse ash added to a soil-cement mixture, in order to obtain an alternative construction material. The sugarcane bagasse ash pre-treatment included both sieving and grinding, before mixing with soil and cement. Different proportions of cement-ash were tested by determining its standard consistence and its compressive resistance at 7 and 28 days age. The various treatments were subsequently applied to the specimens molded with different soil-cement-ash mixtures which in turns were submitted to compaction, unconfined compression and water absorption laboratory tests. The results showed that it is possible to replace up to 20% of Portland cement by sugarcane bagasse ash without any damage to the mixture's compressive strength.

The main objective of this work is the study of the effect of rice husk addition on the physical and mechanical properties of soil-cement, in order to obtain an alternative construction material. The rice husk preparation consisted of grinding, sieving, and the pre-treatment with lime solution. The physical characteristics of the soil and of the rice husk were determined. Different amounts of soil, cement and rice husk were tested by compaction and unconfined compression. The specimens molded according to the treatments applied to the mixtures were subsequently submitted to compression testing and to tensile splitting cylinder testing at 7 and 28 days of age and to water absorption testing. After determining its physical and mechanical characteristics, the best results were obtained for the soil + 12% (cement + rice husk) mixture. The results showed a promising use as an alternative construction material.

This work was carried out with the objective of studying the spatial variability of the physical attributes of a Red-Yellow Ultisol under pasture and secondary vegetation in natural regeneration. Two areas were chosen in a hillside, with the soil sampling to the depth of 0-0.2 m, with the georeferenced points in a regular grid of 10x10 m, totalizing 64 points. In each point it was evaluated the total volume of porosity, macroporosity, microporosity, bulk density, soil penetration resistance and soil water content. The studied attributes in the pasture area present indicator of soil compaction for the animals' traffic, with moderate and strong structure of spatial dependence, except for the macroporosity and penetration resistance. In the area of secondary vegetation (VN) only the macroporosity does not present spatial dependence. The total volume of porosity and the bulk density present the same spatial standard in the area under pasture.

The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of plonk on compressive behavior and mechanical attributes such as consistency, optimum moisture for compaction and maximum density of a Red-Yellow Latosol (Oxisol) to evaluate the effect of plonk and compaction state in splashed particles, from Lavras (MG) region. The plonk was obtained from an artisanal sugarcane brandy alembic. Undisturbed and disturbed soil samples were collected at 0 to 3 cm and 60 to 63 cm depths. Disturbed soil samples were used for soil characterization, determination of consistence limits and Normal Proctor essay after material incubation with plonk. Undisturbed soil samples were saturated with plonk or distilled water (control) during 48 hours for testing the compressibility and resistance to splash by using simulated rainfall. The plonk altered the consistence limits of studied layers. For the 0-3 cm layer, the plonk reduced the friable range, and for the 60-63 cm layer the effect was in the opposite direction. For both layers, the plonk increased Dmax and decreased Uoptimum. Regardless of the plonk treatment, both layers presented the same load support capacity. The compaction degree of samples influenced the splash erosion. The increase of the applied pressure over the samples resulted in increase of splash material quantity. At the 60-63 cm layer, the plonk treatment reduced the splash material quantity by increasing the applied pressure, mainly when the samples were at field capacity.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of connexin 32 (Cx 32) during remyelination of the peripheral nervous system, through a local injection of either 0,1% ethidium bromide solution or saline in the sciatic nerve of Cx 32 knockout mice. Euthanasia was performed ranging from 1, 2, 3, 7, 15, 21 to 30 days after injection. Histochemical, immunohistochemical, immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopical techniques were used to analyze the development of the lesions. Within the sciatic nerves, Schwann cells initially showed signs of intoxication and rejected their sheaths; after seven days, some thin newly formed myelin sheaths with uneven compactness and redundant loops (tomacula) were conspicuous. We concluded that the regeneration of lost myelin sheaths within the PNS followed the pattern already reported for this model in other laboratory species. Therefore, these results suggest that absence of Cx 32 did not interfere with the normal pattern of remyelination in this model in young mice.

A modernização da agropcuária brasileira possibilitou aumento da produção através da expansão das monoculturas, como a soja. Alta demanda e bons preços no mercado internacional incentivaram o cultivo dessa oleaginosa, principalmente no Cerrado. Em que pese seus benefícios econômicos, a sojicultura realizada nestes moldes, com grandes aportes mecânicos e químicos e concentração fundiária, causa impactos ambientais e sociais. Desmatamento, poluição de cursos d´água, erosão, compactação de solos, intoxicação e concentração de terra são alguns desses problemas. Esta pesquisa objetivou verificar desmatamento, contaminação de cursos d´água por agrotóxico e intoxicação no município maior produtor de soja de Goiás, Rio Verde. Foram utilizados mapas de uso do solo de Rio Verde, dos anos 1975, 1989 e 2005, autos de infração emitidos por órgãos de fiscalização ambiental, resultado de análises de resíduos de agrotóxicos na água destinada ao abastecimento público e casos de intoxicação por agrotóxico. A presença e gravidade do desmatamento, que ocorreu entre 1975 e 2005, puderam ser detectadas pelos dados analisados. Já os dados sobre intoxicação, por possivelmente serem subnotificados, revelaram um problema de saúde pública. Concluiu-se a necessidade de ações pelo poder público de fiscalização ambiental em Rio Verde, de medidas que melhorem a notificação de casos de intoxicação, e da promoção de incentivos àqueles agricultores que respeitam as leis ambientais

No sul do Brasil, há ocorrência espontânea de papuã (Urochloa plantaginea (Link) R.D. Webster), nas lavouras, no período de verão, sendo que essa planta possui grande potencial forrageiro. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar as alterações ocorridas nas características físicas e na matéria orgânica do solo, em pasto de papuã, com diferentes alturas de manejo, na presença e na ausência de pisoteio animal. O trabalho foi realizado na Estação Experimental do IAPAR, no município de Pato Branco, Paraná. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados com três repetições. Os tratamentos foram arranjados em esquema bifatorial, com parcelas subdivididas, durante o período de pastejo. As parcelas receberam os níveis do fator altura de manejo de pasto de papuã (0,1; 0,2; 0,3 e 0,4 m), enquanto as subparcelas foram constituídas de áreas com (pastejadas por cabras) e sem pisoteio animal (corte manual). Foram avaliados, após o período de pastejo, os teores de matéria orgânica, a densidade, a porosidade total, a macro e a microporosidades do solo. De maneira geral, a altura de manejo do papuã, na presença, ou não, de pisoteio animal, não alterou significativamente as características físicas e a matéria orgânica do solo, avaliadas após o primeiro ciclo de aplicação dos tratamentos. O pisoteio animal não causou compactação adicional e, mesmo com pastejo animal, os teores de matéria orgânica no solo mantiveram-se altos.
