Análise distribuição da carga hidráulica e vazão na unidade operacional de um sistema de irrigação localizada

The different combination possibilities of emission uniformity and field slope within the operational unities of localized irrigation systems favor the occurence of some configurations in the irrigation system, and consequently different hydraulic head distributions, discharge and system management. After the system has been implanted, it is necessary to verify pressure and discharge distribution in the operational unit. This work objective was to verify pressure and discharge uniformity on derivation line and lateral lines with micro sprinkle in data gotten from operational research. The results allow to check that despite analyzed declivity; the higher the emission uniformity calculated for the line of derivation in the project is, the higher its pressure uniformity is. Previously the results of discharge in the emitters of the operational unit showed a constant variation entering the point of higher discharge and lower discharge, even though differently from the three tested irrigation blades.

Espacialização das estimativas de contaminação de águas subterrâneas por Tebuthiuron

Improper use of pesticides can lead to significant environmental impacts such as, contamination of environmental compartments, being the aquatic compartments the most vulnerable. In this context, the spatialization of pesticides concentrations estimative in groundwater provides important insights for decision making in managing and monitoring pesticides use. This study aimed to spatialize estimatives of groundwater contamination by Tebuthiuron, from different irrigation depths in the Rio Pardo basin, Pardinho-SP, Brazil. The simulations were performed using the ARAquá computer system, considering 0mm, 200 mm and 400 mm annual irrigation depths. Geostatistical techniques were used to obtain the spatial distribution of the simulated estimative. Tebuthiuron maps estimating concentration in groundwater were obtained by Kriging interpolation method, and indicated the areas with high potential for groundwater contamination. Considering all the simulations, it was concluded that there was no risk of groundwater contamination by Tebuthiuron in the study area.

Otimização de sistemas híbridos para a eletrificação de minirredes com fontes renováveis: aspectos de projeto, operação e gestão

Em sistemas híbridos de geração de eletricidade (SHGEs) é fundamental avaliar corretamente o dimensionamento, a operação e a gestão do sistema, de forma a evitar seu colapso prematuro e garantir a continuidade do fornecimento de energia elétrica com a menor intervenção possível de usuários ou de empresas geradoras e distribuidoras de eletricidade. O presente trabalho apresenta propostas de otimização para as etapas de dimensionamento, operação e gestão de SHGEs atendendo minirredes de distribuição de eletricidade. É proposta uma estratégia de operação que visa otimizar o despacho de energia do sistema, identificando a melhor relação, sob aspectos técnicos e econômicos, entre o atendimento da carga exclusivamente via fontes renováveis e banco de baterias ou exclusivamente via grupo gerador, e o carregamento do banco de baterias somente pelas fontes renováveis ou também pelo grupo gerador. Desenvolve-se, também, um algoritmo de dimensionamento de SHGEs, com auxílio de algoritmos genéticos e simulated annealing, técnicas meta-heurísticas de otimização, visando apresentar a melhor configuração do sistema, em termos de equipamentos que resultem na melhor viabilidade técnica e econômica para uma dada condição de entrada definida pelo usuário. Por fim, é proposto um modelo de gestão do sistema, considerando formas de tarifação e sistemas de controle de carga, cujo objetivo é garantir uma relação adequada entre a disponibilidade energética do sistema de geração e a carga demandada. A estratégia de operação proposta combina as estratégias de operação descontínua do grupo gerador, da potência crítica e do ponto otimizado de contribuição do gerador no carregamento do banco de baterias, e seus resultados indicam que há redução nos custos de operação globais do sistema. Com relação ao dimensionamento ótimo, o algoritmo proposto, em comparação a outras ferramentas de otimização de SHGEs, apresenta bons resultados, sendo adequado à realidade nacional. O modelo de gestão do sistema propõe o estabelecimento de limites de consumo e demanda, adequados à realidade de comunidades isoladas atendidas por sistemas com fontes renováveis e, se corretamente empregados, podem ajudar a garantir a sustentabilidade dos sistemas.

Comparison of two computerized procedures for the assessment of color discrimination in Cebus apella

Color vision consists of the discrimination of objects based on their spectral composition. Among primates, the majority of Platyrrhini monkeys are estimated to have polymorphic and sex-linked dichromacy. The objective of this study was to compare the results produced by different equipment and software for the assessment of tri- and dichromatic conditions in one male and two female Cebus apella. Three experiments were programmed. In Experiment 1, verifying the trichromatic condition of one female subject and dichromatic condition of the remainder of the subjects was possible using an adapted version of the Cambridge Colour Test. Experiment 2 confirmed the results of Experiment 1 using a different array of stimuli of the same test. Experiment 3, which produced results similar to Experiment 2, consisted of a test developed for a standard computer system using stimuli with color properties similar to the ones used in the previous experiment. Favorable conditions for the assessment of color vision in Platyrrhini can be built with low-cost equipment and software. Once data have been gathered with additional subjects and new stimulus arrangements have been tested and confirmed, the procedure can be used for the evaluation of other Platyrrhini species for which behavioral color discrimination data are currently lacking.

A tool for controlling accelerometers. Secondary calibration data

Vibration monitoring requires acceleration transducers capable of providing data with high precision. Accelerometers are the most frequently used vibration transducers. Their calibration plays an important role in measuring vibrations and is a key component in ensuring the integrity of the vibration measurement. For managing secondary calibration data of accelerometers, a database computer system was implemented. The implementation of this software has been an important step forward in providing a wide range of analysis and display tools. This paper reviews the main concepts involving accelerometer secondary calibration and describes the tool developed and the methods used in its development. (C) 2013 Academie des sciences.

Radioterapia em câncer de mama: importância da determinação da curva de isodose

The study analyzed contours of the thoracic region of patients undergoing radiotherapy of breast tumors in Hospital Manuel de Abreu of Bauru (institution 1) and the Hospital da Faculdade de Medicina of Botucatu (Institution 2). Were prepared isodose curves corresponding to the contours of the patient, which were presented for radiotherapists doctors both hospital services that enabled the choice of the curve isodose that provides the best distribution of radiation dose in the irradiated volume. Some boundaries were digitized in one institution and sent for preparation of isodose lines in the institution 2, both curves plotted in each of the institutions and for the same contour, were compared, showing that the methodology of Curves of distance is feasible and reliable, while optimizing the routine procedures regarding the handling of isodose plans provided by different radiation equipment. It compares the calculation of the exposure time determined using the isodose curve selected by calculating the value obtained considering the PDP at the point of the middle line of separation between the internal and external fields, the difference between the two methods for determining exposure time was around 2.4%. A study on the angle of the radiation beam at the input field (region breast-air) was conducted showing that, once known a tangent angle of the input beam, one can estimate the angle of the wedge filter used in some procedures for uniformity of dose within the irradiated volume compensation and the lack of tissue in the treatment volume. A comparative study between the isodose curves produced manually with the curves obtained in a two-dimensional computer system, the computer system showed that provides further information regarding the dose gradient within the irradiated volume, in addition to reducing the time spent in preparing the curves isodose
