Geralmente, nos experimentos genótipo por ambiente (G × E) é comum observar o comportamento dos genótipos em relação a distintos atributos nos ambientes considerados. A análise deste tipo de experimentos tem sido abordada amplamente para o caso de um único atributo. Nesta tese são apresentadas algumas alternativas de análise considerando genótipos, ambientes e atributos simultaneamente. A primeira, é baseada no método de mistura de máxima verossimilhança de agrupamento - Mixclus e a análise de componentes principais de 3 modos - 3MPCA, que permitem a análise de tabelas de tripla entrada, estes dois métodos têm sido muito usados na área da psicologia e da química, mas pouco na agricultura. A segunda, é uma metodologia que combina, o modelo de efeitos aditivos com interação multiplicativa - AMMI, modelo eficiente para a análise de experimentos (G × E) com um atributo e a análise de procrustes generalizada, que permite comparar configurações de pontos e proporcionar uma medida numérica de quanto elas diferem. Finalmente, é apresentada uma alternativa para realizar imputação de dados nos experimentos (G × E), pois, uma situação muito frequente nestes experimentos, é a presença de dados faltantes. Conclui-se que as metodologias propostas constituem ferramentas úteis para a análise de experimentos (G × E) multiatributo.

Este trabalho apresenta resultados geoquímicos multielementares de sedimentos de corrente no estado de São Paulo, obtidos através do projeto institucional do Serviço Geológico do Brasil denominado \"Levantamento Geoquímico de Baixa Densidade no Brasil\". Dados analíticos de 1422 amostras de sedimento de corrente obtidos por ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry), para 32 elementos químicos (Al, Ba, Be, Ca, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hf, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Sc, Sn, Sr, Th, Ti, U, V, Y, Zn e Zr), foram processadas e abordadas através da análise estatística uni e multivariada. Os resultados do tratamento dos dados através de técnicas estatísticas univariadas forneceram os valores de background geoquímico (teor de fundo) dos 32 elementos para todo estado de São Paulo. A análise georreferenciada das distribuições geoquímicas unielementares evidenciaram a compartimentação geológica da área. As duas principais províncias geológicas do estado de São Paulo, Bacia do Paraná e Complexo Cristalino, se destacam claramente na maioria das distribuições geoquímicas. Unidades geológicas de maior expressão, como a Formação Serra Geral e o Grupo Bauru também foram claramente destacadas. Outras feições geoquímicas indicaram possíveis áreas contaminadas e unidades geológicas não cartografadas. Os resultados da aplicação de métodos estatísticos multivariados aos dados geoquímicos com 24 variáveis (Al, Ba, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, La, Mn, Nb, Ni, Pb, Rb, Sc, Sr, Th, Ti, U, V, Y, Zn e Zr) permitiram definir as principais assinaturas e associações geoquímicas existentes em todo estado de São Paulo e correlacioná-las aos principais domínios litológicos. A análise de agrupamentos em modo Q forneceu oito grupos de amostras geoquimicamente correlacionáveis, que georreferenciadas reproduziram os principais compartimentos geológicos do estado: Complexo Cristalino, Grupos Itararé e Passa Dois, Formação Serra Geral e Grupos Bauru e Caiuá. A análise discriminante multigrupos comprovou, estatisticamente, a classificação dos grupos formados pela análise de agrupamentos e forneceu as principais variáveis discriminantes: Fe, Co, Sc, V e Cu. A análise de componentes principais, abordada em conjunto com a análise fatorial pelo método de rotação varimax, forneceram os principais fatores multivariados e suas respectivas associações elementares. O georreferenciamento dos valores de escores fatoriais multivariados delimitaram as áreas onde as associações elementares ocorrem e forneceram mapas multivariados para todo o estado. Por fim, conclui-se que os métodos estatísticos aplicados são indispensáveis no tratamento, apresentação e interpretação de dados geoquímicos. Ademais, com base em uma visão integrada dos resultados obtidos, este trabalho recomenda: (1) a execução dos levantamentos geoquímicos de baixa densidade em todo país em caráter de prioridade, pois são altamente eficazes na definição de backgrounds regionais e delimitação de províncias geoquímicas com interesse metalogenético e ambiental; (2) a execução do mapeamento geológico contínuo em escala adequada (maiores que 1:100.000) em áreas que apontam para possíveis existências de unidades não cartografadas nos mapas geológicos atuais.

The classifier support vector machine is used in several problems in various areas of knowledge. Basically the method used in this classier is to end the hyperplane that maximizes the distance between the groups, to increase the generalization of the classifier. In this work, we treated some problems of binary classification of data obtained by electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) using Support Vector Machine with some complementary techniques, such as: Principal Component Analysis to identify the active regions of the brain, the periodogram method which is obtained by Fourier analysis to help discriminate between groups and Simple Moving Average to eliminate some of the existing noise in the data. It was developed two functions in the software R, for the realization of training tasks and classification. Also, it was proposed two weights systems and a summarized measure to help on deciding in classification of groups. The application of these techniques, weights and the summarized measure in the classier, showed quite satisfactory results, where the best results were an average rate of 95.31% to visual stimuli data, 100% of correct classification for epilepsy data and rates of 91.22% and 96.89% to object motion data for two subjects.

No passado recente foram desenvolvidas v árias t écnicas para classi ca ção de dados hiperspectrais. Uma abordagem tí pica consiste em considerar que cada pixel e uma mistura linear das reflectancias espectrais dos elementos presentes na c élula de resolu ção, adicionada de ru ído. Para classifi car e estimar os elementos presentes numa imagem hiperespectral, v ários problemas se colocam: Dimensionalidade dos dados, desconhecimento dos elementos presentes e a variabilidade da reflectância destes. Recentemente foi proposta a An álise em Componentes Independentes,para separa ção de misturas lineares. Nesta comunica ção apresenta-se uma metodologia baseada na An álise em Componentes Independentes para detec ção dos elementos presentes em imagens hiperespectrais e estima ção das suas quantidades. Apresentam-se resultados desta metodologia com dados simulados e com dados hiperespectrais reais, ilustrando a potencialidade da t écnica.

The building envelope is the principal mean of interaction between indoors and environment, with direct influence on thermal and energy performance of the building. By intervening in the envelope, with the proposal of specific architectural elements, it is possible to promote the use of passive strategies of conditioning, such as natural ventilation. The cross ventilation is recommended by the NBR 15220-3 as the bioclimatic main strategy for the hot and humid climate of Natal/RN, offering among other benefits, the thermal comfort of occupants. The analysis tools of natural ventilation, on the other hand, cover a variety of techniques, from the simplified calculation methods to computer fluid dynamics, whose limitations are discussed in several papers, but without detailing the problems encountered. In this sense, the present study aims to evaluate the potential of wind catchers, envelope elements used to increase natural ventilation in the building, through CFD simplified simulation. Moreover, it seeks to quantify the limitations encountered during the analysis. For this, the procedure adopted to evaluate the elements implementation and efficiency was the CFD simulation, abbreviation for Computer Fluid Dynamics, with the software DesignBuilder CFD. It was defined a base case, where wind catchers were added with various settings, to compare them with each other and appreciate the differences in flows and air speeds encountered. Initially there has been done sensitivity tests for familiarization with the software and observe simulation patterns, mapping the settings used and simulation time for each case simulated. The results show the limitations encountered during the simulation process, as well as an overview of the efficiency and potential of wind catchers, with the increase of ventilation with the use of catchers, differences in air flow patterns and significant increase in air speeds indoors, besides changes found due to different element geometries. It is considered that the software used can help designers during preliminary analysis in the early stages of design

This study aimed to evaluate the population ecology of Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus, 1766) in two urban areas in the north of Paraná, an open and other protected by assessing the effects of these two different types of environments on the structure and dynamics of the population and its implications for conservation of the species. The monitoring of the populations were performed monthly between June 2014 and March 2015 in Jaboti Lake Park (Apucarana / PR) and Conservation Unit Parque Arthur Thomas (Londrina / PR). To conduct the survey population data was used the methodology of total census (direct counting of individuals).They were evaluated ecological parameters of the populations of capybaras, such as ecological density, abundance, age distribution and birth rate, as well as performed the analysis of the landscape. It was applied to analysis of variance (ANOVA) to test the differences between the averages of the abundance of each age group per year of observation, as well as the differences between the average ecological density over the years of observation. The standard relationship between the use of classes and land use in the landscape and the ecological parameters of the capybara populations was evaluated by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The trend of variation of average abundance over time to Thomas Arthur Park revealed abrupt decrease of the population in a short period of time (2014 16 ± 9, 14 ± 1 and 2015 7±1) as well as ecological density in 2015 (0.05 ind./ha). On the other hand, the Jaboti Lake Park, showed an increase in absolute abundance, with marked recovery of the population in the same period (2014 38±8,30 and 2015 45±1,73) and coming up with an ecological density in 2015 (2 ind ./ha). The birth rate found Lake Park Jaboti was superior to Arthur Thomas Park, which had a negative rate between 2012 and 2015. The use and land cover analysis showed significant differences from the point of view of the relative contribution of landscape elements in the spatial heterogeneity. Arthur Thomas Park shows areas of dense vegetation and urban areas relatively higher than those observed in Jaboti Lake Park that revealed relatively higher proportions of the areas of agriculture / field and exposed soil. Thus, the present study revealed that the local population structure is directly related to the spatial characteristics of both studied landscapes, as can be seen by the greater abundance and density seen in Jaboti Lake Park compared to Arthur Thomas Park in recent years of study.

Untreated effluents that reach surface water affect the aquatic life and humans. This study aimed to evaluate the wastewater s toxicity (municipal, industrial and shrimp pond effluents) released in the Estuarine Complex of Jundiaí- Potengi, Natal/RN, through chronic quantitative e qualitative toxicity tests using the test organism Mysidopsis Juniae, CRUSTACEA, MYSIDACEA (Silva, 1979). For this, a new methodology for viewing chronic effects on organisms of M. juniae was used (only renewal), based on another existing methodology to another testorganism very similar to M. Juniae, the M. Bahia (daily renewal).Toxicity tests 7 days duration were used for detecting effects on the survival and fecundity in M. juniae. Lethal Concentration 50% (LC50%) was determined by the Trimmed Spearman-Karber; Inhibition Concentration 50% (IC50%) in fecundity was determined by Linear Interpolation. ANOVA (One Way) tests (p = 0.05) were used to determinate the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) and Low Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC). Effluents flows were measured and the toxic load of the effluents was estimated. Multivariate analysis - Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Correspondence Analysis (CA) - identified the physic-chemical parameters better explain the patterns of toxicity found in survival and fecundity of M. juniae. We verified the feasibility of applying the only renewal system in chronic tests with M. Juniae. Most efluentes proved toxic on the survival and fecundity of M. Juniae, except for some shrimp pond effluents. The most toxic effluent was ETE Lagoa Aerada (LC50, 6.24%; IC50, 4.82%), ETE Quintas (LC50, 5.85%), Giselda Trigueiro Hospital (LC50, 2.05%), CLAN (LC50, 2.14%) and COTEMINAS (LC50, IC50 and 38.51%, 6.94%). The greatest toxic load was originated from ETE inefficient high flow effluents, textile effluents and CLAN. The organic load was related to the toxic effects of wastewater and hospital effluents in survival of M. Juniae, as well as heavy metals, total residual chlorine and phenols. In industrial effluents was found relationship between toxicity and organic load, phenols, oils and greases and benzene. The effects on fertility were related, in turn, with chlorine and heavy metals. Toxicity tests using other organisms of different trophic levels, as well as analysis of sediment toxicity are recommended to confirm the patterns found with M. Juniae. However, the results indicate the necessity for implementation and improvement of sewage treatment systems affluent to the Potengi s estuary

In a industrial environment, to know the process one is working with is crucial to ensure its good functioning. In the present work, developed at Prio Biocombustíveis S.A. facilities, using process data, collected during the present work, and historical process data, the methanol recovery process was characterized, having started with the characterization of key process streams. Based on the information retrieved from the stream characterization, Aspen Plus® process simulation software was used to replicate the process and perform a sensitivity analysis with the objective of accessing the relative importance of certain key process variables (reflux/feed ratio, reflux temperature, reboiler outlet temperature, methanol, glycerol and water feed compositions). The work proceeded with the application of a set of statistical tools, starting with the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) from which the interactions between process variables and their contribution to the process variability was studied. Next, the Design of Experiments (DoE) was used to acquire experimental data and, with it, create a model for the water amount in the distillate. However, the necessary conditions to perform this method were not met and so it was abandoned. The Multiple Linear Regression method (MLR) was then used with the available data, creating several empiric models for the water at distillate, the one with the highest fit having a R2 equal to 92.93% and AARD equal to 19.44%. Despite the AARD still being relatively high, the model is still adequate to make fast estimates of the distillate’s quality. As for fouling, its presence has been noticed many times during this work. Not being possible to directly measure the fouling, the reboiler inlet steam pressure was used as an indicator of the fouling growth and its growth variation with the amount of Used Cooking Oil incorporated in the whole process. Comparing the steam cost associated to the reboiler’s operation when fouling is low (1.5 bar of steam pressure) and when fouling is high (reboiler’s steam pressure of 3 bar), an increase of about 58% occurs when the fouling increases.

Esta pesquisa analisou as oportunidades das mulheres em termos de igualdade na ocupação de cargos de alta chefia na Câmara dos Deputados. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada entre novembro de 2005 e janeiro de 2006 e a amostra abrangeu 1.320 participantes. A Escala de Percepção de Igualdade de Oportunidades entre Mulheres e Homens foi aplicada para analisar a atitude dos servidores quanto a possibilidades e limites de ascensão da mulher na estrutura de cargos da organização. A escala constava de 34 itens, com respostas tipo Likert, e 6 itens sobre dados demográficos. A coleta de dados foi feita pela rede interna de computadores da Câmara dos Deputados, através de e-mail enviado aos 3.597 servidores do quadro efetivo. Os dados foram submetidos à análise dos componentes principais (ACP), rotação promax, com resultados meritórios (KMO = 86,0; Bartlett: 14894,879), para 4 fatores. Observaram-se diferenças entre mulheres e homens quanto aos escores obtidos. As oportunidades de ocupar cargo de alta chefia são menores para elas do que para eles. Há mais gerentes do sexo masculino, e os servidores, especialmente as mulheres que não ocupam posto de chefia, percebem que não há igualdade de oportunidades entre funcionários de ambos os sexos. ___________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT

A faixa atlântica brasileira possui extrema diversidade ambiental, onde é expressiva a ocorrência de Argissolos, descritos e identificados em diversos estudos, sem que tenham sido exauridas as possibilidades de interpretações. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, por meio da análise multivariada, as principais diferenças nos atributos físicos e químicos de Argissolos da faixa atlântica brasileira. Foram analisados 91 perfis de solos oriundos de levantamentos pedológicos realizados pelo Projeto RADAMBRASIL, agrupados em três domínios geomorfológicos distintos: Planaltos Soerguidos, Planaltos Rebaixados e Tabuleiros Costeiros, por meio da análise de componentes principais e análise de função discriminante. Para isso, foram selecionadas 14 variáveis para identificar as peculiaridades de cada grupo geomorfológico e suas principais diferenças. A análise dos componentes principais demonstrou que os cinco primeiros componentes respondem por aproximadamente 70 % da variação dos dados. A análise integrada confirmou que os Argissolos dos Planaltos Soerguidos são mais rasos, associando maiores taxas de erosão com menor espessura dos horizontes Bt, e são quimicamente pobres, embora mais rejuvenescidos e rasos. Já os Argissolos nos Planaltos Rebaixados, submetidos a um clima mais seco e, ou, sazonal que os situados nos Planaltos Soerguidos e Tabuleiros Costeiros, mostram-se menos intemperizados e com maior CTC. As análises realizadas (componentes principais e análise discriminante) permitem melhor entender as relações geomorfopedológicas dos Argissolos nos diferentes domínios estudados.

The production and commercialization of Brazilian grape juice is increasing annually, mainly due to its typicality, quality, and nutritional value. The present research was carried out in view of the great significance of Brazilian grape juice for the grape and wine industry. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to assess its composition as well as the discrimination between grape juice and other beverages. Twenty four samples of whole, sweetened, and reprocessed grape juices, grape nectar, and grape beverage were evaluated. Classical variables were analyzed by means of physicochemical methods; tartaric and malic acids, by HPLC; methanol, by gas chromatography; minerals, by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. These products were discriminated by the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Results show that whole and sweetened grape juices were discriminated from other grape products because they featured higher values of total soluble solids, tartaric and malic acids, most minerals, phenolic compounds, and K/Na ratio, whereas grape nectar and grape beverage presented higher values of ºBrix/titratable acidity ratio. Reprocessed juice was discriminated due to its higher concentrations of Li and Na and lower hue.

O presente estudo avaliou os padrões de consumo alimentar entre adultos brasileiros e a sua associação com o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Em 1996/1997, o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), coletou dados antropométricos, de consumo alimentar e socioeconômicos de 9351 indivíduos entre 20 e 60 anos, moradores das áreas urbanas e rurais das regiões Nordeste e Sudeste do Brasil. Através da análise de componentes principais foram identificados os padrões de consumo alimentar. A associação entre os padrões de consumo alimentar e o IMC foi avaliado através de regressão linear. A prevalência de obesidade (IMC >= 30 kg/rn2) foi de 2,7% entre homens moradores das áreas rurais e em torno de 8,0% para os moradores da área urbana, em ambas as regiões. Entre as mulheres, esta prevalência na área rural foi de 6,5% no Nordeste, 14,3% no Sudeste e em torno de 12% nas áreas urbanas. A prevalência de sobrepeso (IMC>= 25 kg/m2) na área rural foi, aproximadamente, 20,0%para o sexo masculino e 24,0% para o sexo feminino, ficando ao redor de 30% nas áreas urbanas. Identificou-se três padrões de consumo: o padrão 1 (misto), com o consumo de quase todos os alimentos, o padrão 2, um padrão a base de arroz, farinha e feijão, composição característica da dieta tradicional do brasileiro, e o padrão 3, onde poucos alimentos explicaram a variação de consumo, contudo, estes alimentos variaram nas quatro áreas. Ajustando-se para idade, renda, escolaridade e atividade física, o padrão misto associou-se positivamente com o IMC (p<0,003), exceto no Sudeste rural (p=016). A dieta tradicional no Sudeste rural (p=0,007) e o padrão 3, composto por tubérculos, farinha e carne, no Nordeste urbano (p=O,0004), associaram-se negativamente com o IMC. Concluiu-se que o padrão misto se associou positivamente ao IMC, sugerindo que o consumo calórico total, mais do que o padrão da dieta, explicaria o aumento da obesidade observado no Brasil.
