Aproveitamento da água de chuva para fins não potáveis para um condomínio sustentável: um estudo de caso

The End of Course Work this aims, the hydrological cycle of water on our planet, and explain about its importance in the lives of living beings, finally, carry out a detailed analysis regarding the financial feasibility of implementing a system Shauer sustainable in the condominium, the first being the pickup of river water, which will use a reservoir for capitation and filtering, a reservoir for water storage filtered and pumps that will redirects it to outside faucets and toilets use in residences

Proposta de captação de água de chuva de para fins não potáveis em projetos residenciais

Water is an economic, strategic and social valuable resource of the utmost importance to society. This renewable natural resource is increasingly scarce with the growing of populations, industries and agriculture, in addition to the pollution surface and underground water and the waste have aggravated this situation. Investments in the sector of water resources so that this resource meets in quantity and quality the demand from its multiple uses, represent a significant portion of national and regional budgets. Therefore, the use of alternative sources of water capture can reduce the pressure on conventional public water supply systems. In this work was designed and executed a rain water collection system to a residence in the city of Barueri (SP), which can be applied to other residences. In this system, the rooftop of the residence was used as the waterproof and capture area. The gutter and the PVC conductors were used for driving the water to two connected reservoirs. The stored water was designed to address activities that are not potable, such as washing clothes and external areas and garden irrigation. The system showed economic viability, with 34-month return of investment time, wherein after that period, in addition to environmental and social benefits derived from the implementation of the project, the economy made with the payment of public supply rates should be considered. This rainwater capture system is inexpensive and uses materials available in the market. Therefore, its application to a greater number of households should be encouraged as a measure of sustainable water management

Cirrus clouds observation in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul during the experiment Chuva - Sul.

Cirrus clouds are an interesting point in the research of the atmosphere due their behavior and the effect on the earth radiation budget. They can affect the atmospheric radiation budget by reflecting the incoming solar radiation and absorbing the outgoing terrestrial radiation. Also, this cloud type is involved in the dehydration of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. So, it is interesting to increment the measurements of this type of clouds from the ground. During November and December 2012, through the CHUVA-SUL campaign, measurements with lidar in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul were conducted. The system installed in Santa Maria site (29.8 °S; 53.7 °W, 100 m asl) was a single elastic-backscatter lidar using the wavelength of 532 nm. Some days with cirrus clouds lidar measurements were detected. Four days with presence of cirrus cloud are showed in the present study. These days, 7, 8, 19 and 28 November 2012, was selected due the persistence of cirrus clouds over many hours. The raw retrieval lidar signals and inverted backscatter coefficient profiles were analyzed for the selected days. Base and top height was obtained by analysis of raw signal and backscatter coefficient. Extinction coefficient profiles were obtained by the assumption of the lidar ratio. Cirrus cloud optical depth (COD) values were calculated, from the integration of the extinction coefficient between the base and top altitudes of the cirrus clouds.

Simulador virtual de técnicas de endoscopia rígida para formación sanitaria

[ES] En este proyecto se trata el proceso de análisis y desarrollo llevado a cabo con el objetivo de construir un prototipo funcional de simulador virtual de endoscopia rígida monocanal orientado a la histeroscopia. Para el desarrollo del prototipo se toma como base el entorno ESQUI, un entorno de simulación virtual médica de código libre. Este entorno provee una librería, basada a su vez en la conocida librería gráfica VTK(Visual ToolKit), cuyo propósito es poner a disposición del programador toda la algoritmia necesaria para construir una simulación médica virtual. En este proyecto, esta librería se depuró y amplió para mejorar el soporte a las técnicas de endoscopia rígida que se persiguen simular. Por otro lado se emplea el Simball 4D, un dispositivo de interfaz humana de la empresa G-coder Systems, para capturar la interacción del usuario emulando la morfología y dinámica de un endoscopio rígido. Todos estos elementos se conectan con una interfaz gráfica sencilla, intuitiva y práctica soportada por wxWidgets y utilizando Python como lenguaje de scripting. Finalmente, se analiza el prototipo resultante y se proponen una serie de líneas futuras de cara a la aplicación didáctica del mismo, tanto en relación a los objetivos conceptuales del prototipo como a los aspectos específicos del entorno ESQUI.

Il racconto mozambicano e lo stile unico di Mia Couto: proposta di traduzione dal portoghese del racconto "A Chuva Pasmada"

Il presente elaborato offre una proposta di traduzione dal portoghese del racconto A Chuva Pasmada di Mia Couto, autore mozambicano contemporaneo vincitore del Premio Camões nel 2013. Il testo, considerato un esempio del realismo “animista”, è stato pubblicato nel 2004 dalla casa editrice portoghese Caminho e, dirigendosi a un pubblico prevalentemente adolescente e adulto, racconta la storia di un bambino nero e del suo villaggio, con uno stile molto originale. Nel libro la finzione si fonde con temi estremamente attuali come il razzismo e l’inquinamento, e un elemento semplicissimo come l’acqua viene mostrato nelle sue molteplici forme, ognuna delle quali acquisisce un diverso significato simbolico. Il lavoro si articola essenzialmente in tre capitoli: nel primo capitolo vi è una breve storia della letteratura mozambicana (indispensabile, a mio avviso, per comprendere le innovazioni introdotte da Mia Couto) e un’introduzione alle caratteristiche del racconto, il genere letterario tradizionalmente privilegiato in Mozambico e in altri paesi africani; il secondo capitolo è dedicato, invece, alla vita e allo stile di Mia Couto, all’autore del racconto A Chuva Pasmada, di cui vengono introdotte le caratteristiche principali; il terzo ed ultimo capitolo è composto dalla proposta di traduzione di A Chuva Pasmada e da una breve analisi delle scelte traduttive.
