Marcadores de Microssatélites para estudos de conservação da Raia-viola Rhinobatos percellens (Chondrichthyes, Rhinobatidae)

A exploração pesqueira, tanto artesanal quanto industrial, se constitui na maior ameaça à biodiversidade dos elasmobrânquios. Em escala mundial, o manejo adequado destes recursos é dificultado pela escassez de informações básicas sobre a dinâmica populacional destes organismos. A captura comercial de elasmobrânquios tem alcançado números alarmantes, com a inclusão de diversas espécies nas listas de risco de extinção nacional e também internacional. A identificação e a conservação de estoques geneticamente diferenciados e adaptados ao seu habitat, representam um ponto fundamental para o setor pesqueiro, pela sua relação direta com a produtividade total e o uso sustentável dos recursos. Entre as raias marinhas, a família Rhinobatidae é representada pelos gêneros Rhinobatos, Zapteryx, Trygonorhina e Aptychotrema, sendo registrada a ocorrência da espécie Rhinobatos percellens no Oceano Atlântico adesde as Antilhas e Panamá, Venezuela, Jamaica, Brasil, Uruguai, até a Argentina. No presente trabalho foram desenvolvidos marcadores moleculares do tipo microssatélites para raiaviola, Rhinobatos percellens, para serem utilizados em estudo populacionais. Cinco locus polimórficos foram isolados utilizando um protocolo de enriquecimento. Nos experimentos, foram testados 13 pares de primers, sendo 10 isolados no presente trabalho e 3 isolados para a espécie de tubarão azul (Prionance glauca). Dos primers isolados em Rhinobatos percellens, 5 são polimórficos, 2 monomórficos e 3 apresentaram bandas muito fracas, enquanto os primers testados de tubarão azul mostraram-se monomórficos. Todos os locus estão em equilíbrio de Wardy-Weinberg, exceto o RVA9 (de R. percellens). Os locus polimórficos apresentam de 3 a 6 alelos por locus e heterozigosidade média esperada de 0.62. Considera-se que estes marcadores polimórficos...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Frequency upconversion involving triads and quartets of ions in a Pr3+/Nd3+ codoped fluoroindate glass

Frequency upconversion (UC) processes involving energy transfer (ET) among Nd 3+ and Pr 3+ ions in a fluoroindate glass are reported. In a first experiment, the excitation of Pr 3+ [transition 3H 4→ 1D 2] and of Nd 3+ [transition 4I 9/2→( 2G 7/2+ 4G 5/2)] was achieved with a dye laser operating in the 575-590 nm range. In a second experiment, the Nd 3+ ions were excited with the second harmonic of a Nd: YAG laser at 532 nm. The ET processes leading to UC in both experiments were studied by monitoring the blue fluorescence decay at 480 nm due to the transition 3P 0→ 3H 4 in Pr 3+. In the more relevant UC process, quartets of ions (Nd-Nd-Pr-Pr) are excited due to absorption of three laser photons by two Nd 3+ ions which transfer their energy to two Pr 3+ ions. Each Pr 3+ ion promoted to the 3P 0 level decays to the ground state emitting one photon in the blue region. This conclusion was achieved investigating the dependence of the UC fluorescence intensity as a function of laser intensity, samples concentrations, and temporal behavior of the UC signal. Other UC processes involving nonisoionic groups of three ions are also reported. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

THE FLUTE MUSIC OF PAUL DESENNE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYTICAL STUDY OF REPRESENTATIVE WORKS

The significance of the works by Venezuelan-born composer Paul Desenne lies in his unique compositional style that incorporates elements of Latin American folk, pop, and traditional music within the framework of the Western European tradition. His works, though easily classified as art music, nevertheless gain much of their emotional and referential meaning through this rich borrowing. This document focuses on three of Desenne’s flute pieces: the Solo Flute Sonata (2001), Gurrufío for flute orchestra (1997), and Guasa Macabra for flute and clarinet (2003). It provides an analysis of the three works, examining formal, structural, motivic, and rhythmic aspects. Scores and interviews with the composer have been employed as primary sources. Bibliographical material closely related to his music and other secondary sources support this analytical approach. This document also provides an introduction and stylistic discussion of Desenne’s other pieces that incorporate the flute. Chapter one consists of an introduction to Desenne’s life and general considerations of his musical style. Each of the following three chapters focuses on one the three aforementioned flute works, including information about the composition and premiere of each piece as well as analysis and an examination of its incorporation of traditional folk elements. The final chapter presents an introduction to and stylistic discussion of the other flute pieces by this composer. This study intends to provide a basic understanding of Desenne’s flute music, including general characteristics of his musical style, paving the way for further investigation of Desenne’s music, and flute music in particular.

A comparison of face and facial feature detectors based on the viola-jones general object detection framework

[EN]The human face provides useful information during interaction; therefore, any system integrating Vision- BasedHuman Computer Interaction requires fast and reliable face and facial feature detection. Different approaches have focused on this ability but only open source implementations have been extensively used by researchers. A good example is the Viola–Jones object detection framework that particularly in the context of facial processing has been frequently used.

Viola-Jones based detectors: How much affects the training set?

[EN]This paper presents a study on the facial feature detection performance achieved using the Viola-Jones framework. A set of classi- ers using two di erent focuses to gather the training samples is created and tested on four di erent datasets covering a wide range of possibili- ties. The results achieved should serve researchers to choose the classi er that better ts their demands.

Reverse Engineering the Structural and Acoustic Behavior of a Stradivari Violin

There is a tremendous amount of mystery that surrounds the instruments of Antonio Stradivari. There have been many studies done in the past, but no one completely understands exactly how he made his instruments, or why they are still considered the best in the world. This project is designed to develop an engineering model of one of Stradivari's violins that will accurately simulate the structural and acoustic behavior of the instrument. It also hopes to shine some light on what makes the instruments of Stradivari unique when compared to other violins. It will focus on geometry and material properties, utilizing several modern engineering tools, including CT scanning, experimental modal analysis, finite element analysis, correlation techniques, and acoustic synthesis.
