Three soil profiles in Ilha Solteira, Brazil were investigated to establish their potential for collapsible behavior. The soil profiles were identified using terrain evaluation techniques and simple laboratory tests. Geophysical surveys were undertaken as they are quick and relatively cheap. The results were correlated with trial pit descriptions and cone and standard penetration tests. The study has shown that electrical resistivity is a useful tool for the preliminary identification of horizons of collapsible soils, before more expensive intrusive and laboratory work is undertaken.

Esta dissertação estabelece as principais características do comportamento da maioria dos eleitores brasileiros e procura demonstrar que existe uma “razão” que move as escolhas eleitorais. Para tanto, utiliza-se da produção da ciência política brasileira sobre o comportamento eleitoral e de pesquisas realizadas em diversas cidades do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é o de compreender como se processam as escolhas eleitorais, tendo em vista que a maioria do eleitorado brasileiro não acredita na política, mantém-se distante dos mecanismos de participação e vota na pessoa do candidato. O pressuposto básico é de que as escolhas eleitorais da maior parte da população, em especial, as das camadas populares, são motivadas por uma cultura política cética e personalista, que tem sua origem e manutenção nos condicionantes históricos-estruturais da política brasileira. As evidências indicam que a maior parte do eleitorado, define o destino do voto de forma sensível e emocional, a partir dos atributos simbólicos dos candidatos e das imagens difusas das competições eleitorais. Nesse contexto, estabelece-se a lógica do comportamento da maioria dos eleitores brasileiros, que pode ser interpretado como emotivo, tendo em vista que as preferências eleitorais tendem a direcionar-se aos candidatos que são mais “conhecidos positivamente”, e que, ao mesmo tempo, desfrutam de uma avaliação positiva de confiança, afinidade e simpatia. Nesses termos é que a imagem de um candidato torna-se elemento-chave da decisão eleitoral. O eleitor emotivo vota no candidato que conhece positivamente e inspira confiança, porque o voto é resultado de uma cultura política personalista e descrente. O eleitor brasileiro vota em quem “conhece”, porque “confia”.

Esta dissertação apresenta a sistemática do Desdobramento da Função Qualidade (QFD), como método de planejamento, aplicado numa empresa do ramo oftalmológico. A premissa básica utilizada é o levantamento dos requisitos do cliente e a transformação destes requisitos em metas a serem alcançadas pela empresa. O QFD foi utilizado como meio de translado destas informações. A utilização do QFD, como forma de captar as necessidades do mercado, interpretá-las e conduzi-las, ao longo do processo de desenvolvimento das matrizes, atingindo os setores na organização, é o estudo abordado neste trabalho. O modelo de QFD utilizado neste trabalho é uma adaptação do modelo de AKAO, proposto por Ribeiro et al., para processos de manufatura. O modelo foi aplicado em uma empresa do grupo Bausch&Lomb. Os resultados encontrados ao desdobrar os requisitos de qualidade dos clientes permitiram que a empresa desenvolvesse planos de ação objetivando conquistar uma maior fatia de mercado. A área de pintura foi priorizada e como principais ações pode-se citar o desenvolvimento de uma nova tinta e automação do processo de pintura.

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), is one of the most important maize pests in the Americas and particularly in South America. With the adoption of genetically modified plants expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxins for lepidopterous pest control, there is a need for establishing strategies to delay the development of insect resistance (e.g. refuge areas). Thus, information on target insects' dispersal is essential to improve pest management techniques. The objective of this work was to evaluate the dispersal capacity of S. frugiperda adults using mark-release-recapture techniques. Insects were marked using red oil-soluble dye in the larval artificial diet. Marked adults were released twice in each growing season (dry and wet) in southeastern Brazil in 2006 and 2007. Recapture of marked insects was performed using light and pheromone traps. Males are more attracted to light traps than females and the recapture rate was higher in the dry season than in the rainy season. The most adequate model to explain the relationship between flight distance and number of recaptured insects is y = a(2)/ (1+ (2a(1.8)+ bx))((2.6)), where y is the distance and x is the number captured. The maximum recapture distances were 806 m for males and 608 m for females. Therefore, strategies for establishment of refuges should take such distances into consideration.

This work aims to identify, describe and analyze the main mechanisms of reference present in the texts produced by students that are finishing their fundamental school. With this in mind, we observe 46 Portuguese classes. The class was in its 9th Fundamental level, in a public school of the Cruzeta, RN. In this period, we collected our corpus that is composed by the papers that students produced. This research has an ethnographic approach and it has as theoretical support some studies about some mechanisms of reference, specifically, the lexical repetition and anaphor. In general, we are based on the studies about cohesive mechanisms from authors as Adam (2008); Beaugrande and Dressler (1981, 1997); Koch (1999, 2004, 2005, 2008), Marcuschi (1983, 1992, 2005, 2006); Bessa Neto (1991) and Neves (2006). In the corpus, we could identify some lexical repetitions (literal, with estrutural variation), as well as, anaphors, mainly pronominal ones. Then, we can notice that most students have showed difficulties in the use of those mechanisms of reference as a strategy of textual progression

The external morphology of eggs of the species Belminus corredori Galvao & Angulo, 2006, Belminus herreri Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1979 and Belminus ferroae Sandoval, Pabon, Jurberg & Galvao, 2007 is described for the first time using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Females lay one egg at a time; the shape of the egg is oval with lateral flattening, a rounded caudal area and a true and simple convex operculum. The average size of the egg among these species is 0.51-0.58 mm in length and 0.36-0.4 mm in width. As a generic character we highlight the discovery of a chorion rim with one to four grooves always joined to the micropyles. All species present a clear polygonal pattern only in the operculum and in the egg's cephalic region, while the median and caudal regions show a smooth appearance, features that are shared only with the eggs of the genus Alberprosenia. A discriminant analysis of the polygonal design of the operculum proved to be useful for the identification of the species.
