A Mechanistic Explanation of The Physical Properties of Undisturbed Loess, February, 1968

The relation between the properties and the water content of an undisturbed loess were investigated to provide insight into the mechanical behavior of the natural soil. Hand-carved samples from a single deposit, at their natural water contents, and at water contents modified in the laboratory to provide a range from 870 to 3270, were subjected to unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests, consolidation tests, and initial negative pore water pressure tests. In addition, the clay-size fraction was separated from the remainder of the loess for a separate series of tests to establish its properties. The natural water content of the deposit in the field was measured at regular intervals for one year to provide an example of the range in properties that would be encountered. at this site. The test results are presented and their interpretation leads to conclusions regarding the volumetric relations that exist as the water content varies. The significance of the water content in relation to the properties of the natural soil is explored and the concept of a critical water content for loess is introduced.

Educação no asilo dos expostos da Santa Casa em São Paulo: 1896-1950

Este texto pretende identificar aspectos da educação das crianças de zero a seis anos, no Asilo dos Expostos da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo, de 1896 até 1950. Para tanto, foram consultados os Relatórios dos Mordomos dos Expostos. O texto trata inicialmente das propostas para os bebês, e posteriormente das propostas para as crianças de três a seis anos. Em relação aos bebês, o aspecto mais importante foi o fato de as crianças não serem mais entregues às amas para serem criadas, permanecendo no berçário, que foi fundado em 1936. Com relação às crianças maiores, desde o início do século identifica-se a existência do jardim-de-infância, que irá também se renovar na década de 1940, com a chegada de profissionais ligadas à secretaria estadual de educação. As propostas e as concepções pedagógicas existentes na sociedade se manifestam nas funções educacionais do asilo.
