Mapeamento geoestatístico da vulnerabilidade do Aquífero Guarani no município de Ribeirão Bonito - SP

The Guaraní aquifer has relevant importance both as a source of water for several urban centres and the development of agriculture and livestock. In recharge areas the aquifer is free and, therefore, subject to contamination of effluents and tailings deposited on soils that cover it. Thus, it becomes crucial not only its protection at all levels, as the knowledge of its degree of natural vulnerability. The present work used geostatistics modeling techniques to study the natural vulnerability of the Guaraní aquifer in the city of Rio Bonito, State of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, where the Guarani aquifer is exposed. These techniques, extensively used in evaluation studies of mineral deposits and oil tanks, can be adapted to produce a spatial classification or a regionalisation of probabilistic indices of vulnerability. By ordinary kriging method maps of vulnerability classification were obtained. To determine the vulnerability of the aquifer was employed the Aquifer Vulnerability Index (AVI), which requires knowledge of unsaturated zone thickness and permeability. The final product was a map with probabilistic index of vulnerability of the Guaraní aquifer, which presented values between 0 to 0.33 years, framing the area studied in AVI class extremely high vulnerability

Análise geoestatística da variabilidade espacial do acabamento com tingidor em painéis de madeira colada lateralmente

Classical statistical techniques which necessarily assume that all sampling units are random and independent were always used in the timber industry. Geostatistics considers that certain phenomena are characterized by spatial dependence: values of sampling units closer to each other tend to be more similar than values of sampling units farther away. This study aimed to characterize the spatial variability of the finishing (dyer) in the upper and lower surfaces of four edge glued panels by using geostatistical methods using geoR. Semivariograms were constructed for the analysis of spatial dependence. The spherical mathematical model was the best fit to the semivariograms generated, and was done the interpolation of the data (kriging) in samples where the distribution of dyer presents spatial dependence. In the bottom surfaces of two panels where the spatial dependence was detected geostatistical methods characterized a very large spatial variability due to the heterogeneous application of the finishing

Mapeamento geoestatístico da permeabilidade superficial no entorno do Ribeirão Claro: e simulação da possibilidade de sua contaminação

The evaluation of soil permeability throughout the weathering profile is one of the most important features to be considered in environmental studies. This study, developed from field testing and analysis of data obtained by geostatistical methods, aims at mapping the permeability around the Ribeirão Claro river. The intent is to simulate an accident with toxic liquids where soil permeability is of fundamental importance. Another purpose of the research was to determine the minimum time that, in the event of an accident, a possible contaminant to reach the water table level and be routed to the nearest drain, in this case, the Ribeirao V Claro river constitutes fundamental information. The studied area of approximately 4 km² is located within the UNESP-Rio Claro campus, consisting of colluvial soil from Fm. Rio Claro superimposed on residual soil of Fm. Corumbataí. The method used to determine the permeability is the concentric cylinders performed on a sampling grid with 64 points containing spacing of 5 meters EW and 10 meters NS. In the places of permeability tests were collected samples for laboratory determination of the percentage of fines. From particle size analysis was performed and analysis statistical and geostatistical on this data. The histogram was based on the statistical studies, and the semivariograms were based on geostatistical estimation methods. Based on the comparison between the maps and the data obtained, it was determined that the percentage of fines in colluvial surface soil has little influence on permeability, which the proximity to the Ribeirao Claro river, the eastern portion, a factor that influences the distribution of permeability values

Padronização e validação de uma equação para determinação do volume corporal em ratos winstar saudáveis e sedentários com idade entre 60 e 240 dias

A determinação da composição corporal pode ser utilizada para evidenciar diversos fatores entre eles a dieta, o uso de drogas, a incidência de patologias, diferenças genética, nível de treinamento, gênero e idade. No modelo de natação para ratos a composição corporal pode ter um papel determinante na intensidade de exercício, uma vez que os animais utilizados podem apresentar diferentes densidades corporais. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente projeto baseia-se na possibilidade de desenvolver uma equação para estimar o volume corporal de ratos sedentários a partir da relação linear entre peso e volume corporais (r=1,00) encontrada em estudos anteriores. Dessa forma, tornando prático e viável o uso da densidade corporal para precisa determinação da intensidade de exercício em estudos que utilizam a natação como ergômetro de exercício animal. Para isso serão utilizados 105 Rattus norvegicus albinus da linhagem Wistar, os quais serão avaliados em um estudo longitudinal que consiste em avaliações a cada 30 dias, a partir dos 60 até 240 dias de idade, para a determinação do volume corporal através de pesagens hidrostáticas, do índice de lee e análise da composição química da carcaça. Com isso, espera-se poder derivar uma equação para estimar o volume corporal dentro de toda a faixa de idade utilizada ou, no caso não seja encontrada uma relação linear entre peso e volume corporais entre ratos de diferentes idades, o desenvolvimento de várias equações para estimar o volume corporal em faixas etárias. Além disso, a composição química da carcaça dos mais será determinada na tentativa de validar o método de pesagem hidrostática e buscar eventuais correlações entre os parâmetro corporais (volume corporal, peso corporal, índice de lee e densidade) e os componentes de gordura, massa magra, água e proteína dos animais
