Saberes e práticas tradicionais: população pesqueira extrativista da Vila Sorriso - São Caetano de Odivelas∕PA

A pesquisa trata da relação entre ser humano e natureza, tendo como foco a comunidade Vila Sorriso, situada a 7,5 km da sede do município de São Caetano de Odivelas no Estado do Pará. Objetiva identificar dentre os pescadores extrativistas do manguezal, os modos de vida como subsistência, seus saberes e práticas em relação ao uso do manguezal e propor ações que possam reduzir os impactos negativos no ecossistema local. O procedimento metodológico obedece três etapas, sendo a primeira o levantamento bibliográfico, a segunda uma abordagem da pesquisa de campo com entrevistas, observações dos modos de vida, a utilização do ecossistema de manguezal a partir dos conhecimentos locais e a terceira etapa a sistematização de todo conhecimento adquirido pelos pescadores extrativistas, levando em consideração os modos de vida e os saberes e práticas da comunidade pesqueira extrativista. Foi identificado que na referida comunidade são utilizadas três técnicas de captura do Ucides cordatus L.1763: a do laço, a técnica da tapagem e a técnica do soco, braço ou muque. Essas técnicas de captura foram analisadas e trabalhadas junto à comunidade com base na legislação ambiental nacional e estadual, visando a inserção da legislação com os extrativistas, fomentando o desenvolvimento local e a conservação do ecossistema de manguezal. A partir das observações, análises, interpretações e sistematizações, a pesquisa discorre sobre a sustentabilidade local e junto com os pescadores extrativistas, propõe algumas ações para a conservação do ecossistema local, como: estudar as galerias do Ucides cordatus L., 1763, para disseminação do conhecimento do sexo e do tamanho do animal antes da captura; capacitar os pescadores extrativistas, através de reuniões, cursos e oficinas, para sensibilização na técnica do laço, para liberação do crustáceo que não pode ser comercializado, e estimular a participação dos extrativistas na colônia de pescadores local na qual são filiados, para serem beneficiados com o seguro defeso.

Estudo comparativo da inclinação do plano oclusal de modelos para cirurgia ortognática montados em dois tipos de articuladores semi-ajustáveis

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare occlusal plane angulation measured in two different types of semi-adjustable articulators with that obtained on the lateral cephalometric radiograph. Materials and Methods: 20 patients due to undergo orthognathic surgery had dental casts mounted in two different types of semi-adjustable articulators through face bow transfer from the position of the maxilla and occlusal recording to the mandible. After mounting, the inclination of the occlusal plane in the articulators was measured and compared with the inclination measured at on both articulators and compared with the inclination measured on the lateral cephalometric radiographs and between the articulators themselves. The results obtained werestatistically analyzed. Results: Mean angulation values for the Bio Art (7.55º) and Kavo (-5.70º) articulators differ by 13.25º, which is statistically significant (p=0.00). When individually compared to the lateral cephalometric radiograph (5.075º), the Bio Art articulator showed more similar angulation values, with a difference of 2.475º, while the Kavo articulator presented a difference of 10.775º. Conclusion: Neither of the models of semi-adjustable articulators accurately reproduced the inclination of the maxillary occlusal plane of patients with dentofacial deformities; the difference between the two articulators tested and the lateral cephalometric radiograph was lower for the Bio Art than for the Kavo articulator.

Reabilitação estético-funcional sobre implantes agulhados e endósseos

This report shows the resolution of a case study whose aim was promote the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of upper left hemi-arch over endosseous and needle implant prostheses. To improve the position of the needle implants, we performed the bucco-palatal bending of needles splinting them with composite resin; we removed the screwed implant prosthesis in the regions of the premolars (24 and 25) and molar (26). The mini-abutments of the last two implants were replaced, and in the first premolar and canine, we used cemented abutments due to implant angulation having planned soldering because of implant size and contact with one needle implant that could interfere with intimate contact bone/implant damaging biomechanics. Pick-up impressions were performed with an open tray, using a retractor cord in the needle implants and respective transfer copings. Therefore, models were related on semi-adjustable articulator after a face-bow recording and interocclusal indexes. After working cast fabrication and try-in of infra-structures, these were adjusted and related into the articulator again. Then, after ceramic build-up, adjustments, finishing, and torque, chemically-activated resin cement was applied on units 21 to 24. At the end of the case, we concluded that a good aesthetic and functional rehabilitation depends on thorough knowledge of techniques for each clinical situation.

O Uso do Arco Facial para o correto posicionamento dos modelos no articulador

It presented the main features so that the wax plan can be conveniently filling the aesthetic and functional requirement of a denture. The steps of face bow mounting and wax plan transfer form the mouth to the articulator, considering the necessary requirement for this purpose are shown. This sequence aims to instruct and warn those who work with dentures about the needs of using face bows for correct reproduction of the models positioning in the articulator

RELATIONSHIP AMONG EXTRACTIVES, LIGNIN AND HOLOCELLULOSE CONTENTS WITH PERFORMANCE INDEX OF SEVEN WOOD SPECIES USED FOR BOWS OF STRING INSTRUMENTS

In this paper we investigate the influence of extractives, lignin and holocellulose contents on performance index (PI) of seven woods used or tested for violin bows. Woods with higher values of this index (PI = root MOE/rho, where MOE is modulus of elasticity and rho is density) have a higher bending stiffness at a given mass, which can be related to bow wood quality. Extractive content was negatively correlated with PI in Caesalpinia echinata, Hanclroanthus sp. and Astronium lecointei. In C. echinata holocellulose was positively correlated with PI. These results need to be further explored with more samples and by testing additional wood properties. Although the chemical constituents could provide an indication of quality, it is not possible to establish appropriate woods for bows solely by examining their chemical constituents.

Development of advanced tools and methods for the assessment and management of risk due to atypical major accident scenarios

Proper hazard identification has become progressively more difficult to achieve, as witnessed by several major accidents that took place in Europe, such as the Ammonium Nitrate explosion at Toulouse (2001) and the vapour cloud explosion at Buncefield (2005), whose accident scenarios were not considered by their site safety case. Furthermore, the rapid renewal in the industrial technology has brought about the need to upgrade hazard identification methodologies. Accident scenarios of emerging technologies, which are not still properly identified, may remain unidentified until they take place for the first time. The consideration of atypical scenarios deviating from normal expectations of unwanted events or worst case reference scenarios is thus extremely challenging. A specific method named Dynamic Procedure for Atypical Scenarios Identification (DyPASI) was developed as a complementary tool to bow-tie identification techniques. The main aim of the methodology is to provide an easier but comprehensive hazard identification of the industrial process analysed, by systematizing information from early signals of risk related to past events, near misses and inherent studies. DyPASI was validated on the two examples of new and emerging technologies: Liquefied Natural Gas regasification and Carbon Capture and Storage. The study broadened the knowledge on the related emerging risks and, at the same time, demonstrated that DyPASI is a valuable tool to obtain a complete and updated overview of potential hazards. Moreover, in order to tackle underlying accident causes of atypical events, three methods for the development of early warning indicators were assessed: the Resilience-based Early Warning Indicator (REWI) method, the Dual Assurance method and the Emerging Risk Key Performance Indicator method. REWI was found to be the most complementary and effective of the three, demonstrating that its synergy with DyPASI would be an adequate strategy to improve hazard identification methodologies towards the capture of atypical accident scenarios.

Sight-reading of violinists: eye movements anticipate the musical flow

When sight-reading a piece of music the eyes constantly scan the score slightly ahead of music execution. This separation between reading and acting is commonly termed eye-hand span and can be expressed in two ways: as anticipation in notes or in time. Previous research, predominantly in piano players, found skill-dependent differences of eye-hand span. To date no study has explored visual anticipation in violinists. The present study investigated how structural properties of a piece of music affect the eye-hand span in a group of violinists. To this end eye movements and bow reversals were recorded synchronously while musicians sight-read a piece of music. The results suggest that structural differences of the score are reflected in the eye-hand span in a way similar to skill level. Specifically, the piece with higher complexity was associated with lower anticipation in notes, longer fixation duration and a tendency for more regressive fixations. Anticipation in time, however, remained the same (approximately 1 s) independently of the score played but was correlated with playing tempo. We conclude that the eye-hand span is not only influenced by the experience of the musician, but also by the structure of the score to be played.

Joint Planes in the Rhyolites of the Butte District, Montana

The problem herein discussed deals with the pointing planes found in the area of rhyolite located in the northwestern portion of the Butte District. The question to be determined was whether or not the pointing planes in the rhyolites could be class­ified with the Butte Ore fissure systems.

Geology and Ore Deposits of the Butte-Highland Gold Mine.

The Butte-Highland mine is situated at the head of Basin Creek, in the Highland mining district, Silver Bow County, about 14 miles south of Butte. The tunnel portal and present surface plant are at an elevation of about 7350 feet above sea level, facing westward across the head of Basin Creek valley. The "ghost" mining town of Highland lies a mile to the east, near the forks of Fish Creek. Access to the mine is obtained at present from Beaudine's siding, 12 miles west. The property may also be reached, with difficulty, over poor roads from Limekiln hill, or from Moose Creek.

Naming a Mountain Peak - Montana Tech Peak

While conducting research to measure and confirm the elevation of Silver Bow County's highest point, Table Mountain, a group of Montana Tech students came across a heretofore unnamed peak designated as Peak 10131 (which denotes it's height).

The Recovery of Zinc from Butte Mine Waters

Very little work has been done towards the recovery of zinc from mine water because the zinc content of the water is generally low. As different from copper, which can very easily be replaced by iron in any of its solutions, zinc is very high up in the electro-chemical series and so the few metals above zinc, most of which are rare and hence expensive, cannot be used to replace zinc from its solution.

A Preliminary Investigation of the Hydrometallurgy of Philipsburg Manganese

In the past the steel industry of the United States has depended almost wholly on imports for its supplies of manganese. Although it is well known that there are enormous deposits of low grade manganese ore in the United States the production of substantial amounts of ferro-grade mater­ial from domestic sources presents a field for con­structive and practical research.
