Caracterização da liga Ti-15Zr visando aplicações biomédicas

With advances in health care, has been na increase of demand for material that could replace the functions of the human body parts, thus evolved biomedic prosthesis which today are responsible for the constant improvement of the quality of life. The Titanium alloys are widely used as implants due to its properties, like high mechanical resistance, biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, and the addition alloying elements like Zirconium, may improve some of those properties. Such properties are related to the microstructure and consequently to the type of processing performed. The purpose of this dissertation was to characterize the experimental alloy Ti15Zr after route of processsing and heat treatment in order to extend the knowledge about this alloy. The latter has been abtained by fusion of pure metals in a arc melting furnace with an inert argon atmosphere. The material has been homogenized in a tube furnace at 950ºC for 24h and cold worked by swaging, after that, bars with 10 mm of diameter were obtained by the process of rotary forging. The samples were solubilized at 900º C for 2 hours and quenched in water. After that, 4 samples were submitted to the aging, at 400º C, 450º C, 500º C and 550º C. The microstructure and phase analysis was done by optical microscopy and X-rays diffraction (XRD), the mechanical characterization was carried out by microhardness test and finally, evaluation of corrosion resistance of the alloy by electrochemical tests. The XRD and the optical microscopy made it possible to analyze that the heat treatment influenced the phase shifting from α to α', and probably affected the alloy hardness, at the first aged sample at 500º Chas been a sudden increase in the value of hardness, probably by appearance of omega phase, unwanted phase to the medical application duo to great fragility, and finally ...

Escrubagem da bauxita de Paragominas - PA. Parte 1: influência de variáveis operacionais na desagregação da bauxita

The aim of this study was to investigate the bauxite scrubbing process on samples from Miltonia 3, a Vale operation in the State of Para, Brazil. The experimental program included the design of a standard laboratory test, from which parameters were derived for predicting the operation of a scrubber in steady state conditions. Three main variables were selected for the laboratory experimental program using the factorial design technique. These were load fraction, residence time and rotation speed. The amount of fines was determined through screening both the feed and the product of the scrubbing test. The former was considered to be a characteristic material, while the second was the dependent variable, i.e. the result of the scrubbing process. According to experiments, the load fraction was the most important variable for the scrubbing process.

Ocupações exercidas por adolescentes e sua relação com a participação escolar

OBJETIVOS: Identificar as ocupações exercidas por adolescentes participantes de um programa social de atendimento para jovens e avaliar sua inserção na escola, após a entrada no mundo do trabalho. MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo, quantitativo, realizado junto a um programa de apoio e atendimento aos jovens, por meio do qual 437 jovens trabalhadores foram entrevistados. RESULTADOS: A maioria era do gênero masculino (54%), com média de idade de 16 anos, cursando o ensino médio; trabalhavam como office boys (36,4%), auxiliares administrativos (25,4%), recepcionistas (16,0%) e no estacionamento rotativo (12,6%). Atraso escolar foi constatado em 95,8% dos indivíduos, indicando descompasso entre a série cursada e a idade cronológica; entretanto, o desempenho na escola pareceu não ter sido prejudicado pelo trabalho. CONCLUSÃO: Deve-se ter cautela ao introduzir o adolescente no mercado de trabalho, pois aspectos como cansaço, falta de tempo para estudar, entre outros, podem ter implicações nas atividades escolares.

Tiller population density and tillering dynamics in marandu palisade grass subjected to strategies of rotational stocking management and nitrogen fertilization

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate tiller population density and the dynamics of the tillering process in marandu palisade grass subjected to strategies of rotational stocking management and nitrogen fertilization. Treatments corresponded to combinations between two targets of pre-grazing conditions (sward surface height of 25 and 35 cm) and two rates of nitrogen application (50 and 200 kg ha-1 year-1), and were allocated to experimental units according to a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement in a randomised complete block design, with four replications. The following response variables were studied: initial (TPDi), intermediate (TPDm) and final (TPDf) tiller population density as well as the rates of tiller appearance (TAR) and death (TDR) and the tiller population stability index (SI). TPDi was similar to all treatments, with differences in tiller population density becoming more pronounced as the experiment progressed, resulting in larger TPDf on swards managed at 25 cm pre-grazing height. Tiller death was larger on swards managed at 35 cm, with differences in tiller appearance being recorded only from February 2010 onwards. Stability of tiller population was higher on swards managed at 25 cm pre-grazing height. Overall, there was no effect of nitrogen on the studied variables, and the most adequate grazing strategy corresponded to the pre-grazing height of 25 cm, regardless of the nitrogen application rate used.

Analisi sperimentale di un sistema per il posizionamento e la movimentazione di sensori in galleria del vento, con applicazione al "long-pipe" in CICLoPE

Analisi di un sistema per il posizionamento e la movimentazione di sensori in galleria del vento. In particolare l’analisi è stata focalizzata sul sistema di movimentazione sonde (traversing) presente nel long-pipe in CICLoPE (Center for International Cooperation in Long Pipe Experiments). La struttura menzionata nasce per far fronte ad alcuni dei limiti presenti negli attuali laboratori fluidodinamici per lo studio della turbolenza ad alti numeri di Reynolds. Uno degli obiettivi del centro è quello di caratterizzare le più piccole strutture caratteristiche della turbolenza. Al fine di permettere tale studio era necessario migliorare il traversing esistente per ottenere movimenti ad alta precisione, in modo da raggiungere lo stesso ordine di grandezza delle scale più piccole della turbolenza. Il miglioramento di tale strumentazione è stato necessario anche per fornire un valido supporto alle metodologie esistenti per la determinazione della distanza tra sonde e parete, che resta una delle difficoltà nello studio della turbolenza di parete. L’analisi del traversing, svolta attraverso più test, ha fatto emergere problemi sia nella struttura del sistema, sia nel software che gestisce il motore per la movimentazione. La riprogrammazione del software e la rettifica di alcuni componenti del sistema hanno permesso di eliminare gli errori emersi. Le piccole imprecisioni restanti durante la movimentazione, non eliminabili con un’implementazione software, verranno totalmente superate grazie all’impiego del nuovo motore dotato di un encoder rotativo che sarà in grado di retroazionare il sistema, fornendo il reale spostamento effettuato.
