This paper is the result of real-scale physical modeling study designed to simulate the load-deformation characteristics of railroad foundation systems that include the railroad ties, the ballast, and the sub-base layers of a railroad embankment. The study presents comparisons of the application of dynamic loads of 100kN on the rails, and the resulting deformations during a 500,000 cycle testing period for three rail support systems; wood, concrete and steel. The results show that the deformation curve has an exponential shape, with the larger portion of the deformation occurring during the first 50,000 load cycles followed by a tendency to stabilize between 100,000 to 500,000 cycles. These results indicate that the critical phase of deformations of a new railroad is within the first 50,000 cycles of loading, and after that, it slowly attenuates as it approaches a stable value. The paper also presents empirically derived formulations for the estimation of the deformations of the rail supports as a result of rail traffic.

O presente trabalho pretende refletir geograficamente sobre a atividade pesqueira, apresentando algumas categorias de análise territorial que podem ser trabalhadas na pesca, levando em consideração os modos de vida dos pescadores; a abrangência territorial sob sua influencia da pesca e os mecanismos de representação espacial em ambiente computadorizado que estão disponíveis na atualidade, capazes de alcançar os padrões espaciais dessa abrangência. Esta análise partiu da consideração de que a atividade pesqueira é de extrema importância para o abastecimento dos centros urbanos, sendo a principal fonte de subsistência e de renda de populações de pescadores artesanais na região amazônica. Novos procedimentos metodológicos e processos tecnológicos têm engendrado à pesca uma significância cada vez maior, tanto pela aparente exaustão dos recursos, quanto pelo reconhecimento protéico e funcional, que os produtos pesqueiros têm ganhado nos últimos anos, como forma de alimentação adequada para a manutenção da qualidade de vida do consumidor. Dessa forma, o principal objetivo desse trabalho está em verificar e discutir sobre a viabilidade do uso de geotecnologias no atual modelo de ordenamento pesqueiro que se observa na região amazônica, buscando entender como esse ordenamento territorial na pesca pode integrar: geotecnologias; informações sobre equipamentos de pesca utilizados na captura do pescado; o conhecimento de pescadores e a legislação brasileira vigente. As pesquisas bibliográficas e de campo (na baía do Caeté e no rio Ituquara, estado do Pará), integradas aos trabalhos em laboratório, com utilização de técnicas de geoprocessamento sobre produtos do sensoriamento remoto permitiram mapear o momento dinâmico de algumas relações sócio-espaciais e estruturais por que passa a pesca, por isto, é importante o enfoque em mecanismos de auxilio ao ordenamento dos recursos pesqueiros. As tecnologias da chamada ciência da geoinformação, vem apresentando maior visibilidade nos estudos ambientais e por isto devem ser inseridas na atividade pesqueira como importante mecanismo de monitoramento, fiscalização e pesquisa em prol de manejos futuros.

The present study aims to establish the mapping units climate Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, with a more refined analysis in the study of extreme weather events to contribute to the adaptation of populations made vulnerable in the face of extreme weather events, and also as an aid local public policies, from a new perspective climate. As criteria of analysis, temperature, precipitation, altitude and use and occupation of land. For this we use as a work methodology broad literature review, fieldwork and use of geotechnology in the proposed mapping generation

This research aimed to analyze the spatial area for the design of the Heat Island of Subprefecture Sé, in São Paulo-SP, with the support of geotecnology and based on the study of environmental perception. We used remote sensing products such as maps ofland use and soil temperature and apparent surface to evaluate the thermal conditions considered critical points in the central area of the municipality. The methodology used was qualitative analysis, based on interviews with the people, allowing rescue geoecology the conditioning aspects of the city, with an emphasis on environmental perception. This study aimed toanalyze the perception of the variation of the thermal field in São Paulo. The results indicated that (95%) of respondents feel that the temperature of the central area has increased each year, and the district that stood out was the Sé, due to intense use and occupation of land and contribute one of the largest shopping centers. Districts with points given for having better thermal comfort were Santa Cecília, the República and Bela Vista, due to their larger amount of green areas by fiscal court, which act as local refrigerators. It was found that the respondents have the perception and awareness of their spa directly related to the quality of life. Through analysis of several variables involved, proposals and strategies may support public policies and urban planning

In the past years, soya has increased itself as the mean agro export culture in Brazil, encouraging the expansion of its agricultural frontier throughout the country. Brazil is the second biggest soya producer around the world, with a 59,8 million ton production in 2008, according to the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), only behind United States. Around the country, the four leading producer states are Mato Grosso, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul e Goiás. Therefore, geotechnologies may be used to monitor use and soil occupation in various analyzes periods. In this review, the tools are important to illustrate the soya production areas and also the weather behavior around its production evolution in the territory through the years. Its utilization can contribute to the evolution and optimization around real time monitoring of the Agricola cultures, without being necessary to be in the area with a low financial cost. Generally, this information is strongly important for decision makers in both government and private sector, as soon as the achievement information regards the quantification of area, yield and development of agricultural crops are essential to the economic behavior of culture during the season and even beyond. By obtaining data regarding climate crops 2008/09 and 2009/10, held the climatic water balance calculation based on the dynamics of water storage in soil temperature and precipitation data, interpolation of the data through the interpolator (IDW) that generated thematic precipitation maps. Overall, the use of geotechnology to monitor agricultural areas, can strongly contribute to this monitoring, generating raw material for further analysis at low cost
