O desenvolvimento da nanotecnologia vem se intensificando nos últimos anos. Sendo que os NM já estão sendo utilizados em vários produtos disponíveis no mercado. Dentre os NM mais utilizados estão os compostos de carbono que embora sejam compostos somente por este elemento podem ter estruturas diferentes que refletem em suas aplicações e possivelmente em seus efeitos. Dentre os NM de carbono, o grafeno e o óxido de grafeno apresentam promissoras características que ampliam sua utilização em diversos segmentos desde eletrônicos até a distribuição de medicamentos. A intensificação da produção e utilização destes NM é acompanhada pela liberação destes nanomateriais no ambiente que pode afetar os organismos vivos, principalmente os animais aquáticos. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre os efeitos do óxido de grafeno em crustáceos de importância comercial como é o caso do camarão branco Litopenaeus vannamei. Portanto, a presente dissertação teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos biológicos da exposição ao óxido de grafeno em diferentes tecidos do camarão.

Os sistemas intensivos associados ao sistema de bioflocos (BFT), não requerem troca de água, permitem manutenção da qualidade da água do cultivo e proporciona a utilização de elevadas densidades de estocagem. Esta prática envolvendo a formação de floco microbiano e utilização de elevadas densidades de estocagem ainda é pouco explorada comercialmente no Brasil, igualmente ao uso de água de subsolo que é uma alternativa para realizar cultivos em regiões interiores. Os estudos existentes indicam que L. vannamei em meio heterotrófico apresenta sobrevivência elevada e produtividade pelo menos cinco vezes maior que nos sistemas tradicionais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar as densidades de estocagem (100 e 150 camarões m-2 ) apropriadas para a região sul do Brasil na engorda do camarão Litopenaeus vannamei no sistema de bioflocos (BFT), avaliar os parâmetros de desempenho zootécnico e os parâmetros de qualidade da água. No presente estudo, a composição iônica da água do subsolo e os parâmetros de qualidade de água do cultivo estiveram dentro dos limites aceitáveis para o crescimento e sobrevivência dos camarões. A comunidade microbiana presente foi importante como suplemento na dieta dos animais cultivados, melhorando a taxa de conversão alimentar. As elevadas densidades de estocagem testadas apresentaram diferença estatística na produtividade: 9.900 e 13.700 kg ha-1 para o tratamento 100 e 150 camarões m-2 , respectivamente. Quando utilizado o sistema BFT, estas densidades de estocagem apresentam-se viáveis tanto no desempenho zootécnico dos camarões quanto nos parâmetros de qualidade da água. Entretanto a densidade mais elevada (150 camarões m-2 ) foi mais rentável devido sua maior produtividade.

without practical results so far. Protocols used in biotechnological cultured aquatic organisms aimed at increasing growth rates and disease resistance, have been studied and perfected. Among the available techniques, the application of chromosomal manipulation, although still nascent, is presented as a tool aimed at mitigating ecological and economical issues in shrimp farming. The polyploidization artificial method already employed in fish and shellfish, has been widely researched for use in farmed shrimp. Some limitations of this method of expansion in shrimp refer to a better knowledge of cytogenetic aspects, the level of sexual dimorphism and performance in growing conditions. To contribute on some of these issues, the present study aimed to characterize cytogenetic species Litopenaeus vannamei (Decapoda) and Artemia franciscana (Anostraca), analyze the effectiveness of methods for detection of ploidy, through the use of flow cytometry in processes of induction polyploidy cold thermal shock at different stages of development of newly fertilized eggs. Additionally, aimed also the qualitative and quantitative comparison of larval development between diploid and polyploid organisms, besides the identification of sexual dimorphism in L. vannamei, through geometric morphometrics. The results provide information relevant to the improvement and widespread use of biotechnological methods applied toward national productivity in shrimp farming

Descrevem-se os vestígios das barragens do distrito de Castelo Branco atribuídas ao período romano e procura-se reconstituir as suas características iniciais. Caracteriza-se ainda a barragem de Alferrarede, pós-romana, em bom estado de conservação, de duplo muro e aterro intermédio, e apresentam-se dados retirados da bibliografia relativos à "Presa de Penamacor", que sofreu um rombo no primeiro quartel do sécu lo XVI e da qual não há vestígios. Das oito barragens atribuídas ao período romano, duas são de alvenaria e seis de terra. Estas últimas parecem não ter sido dotadas de descarregadores de superfície (nem de órgãos fixos para assegurar a utilização da água). A conservação de vestígios dos aterros poderá dever-se à existência de brechas que asseguram a passagem da água sem galgamento. Algumas das barragens de terra eram estruturas importantes, que envolveram grandes movimentos de terra e a utilização de boas técnicas de compactação como atesta a caracterização geotécnica. As maiores barragens são a da Egitânia e da Lameira com alturas de 11 e 9m e volumes de aterro de 12000 e 16000 m3, respectivamente.

Esta página tem tido poucos artigos sobre obras de não-ficção, mas hoje reequilibro um pouco, ao escrever sobre o livro que António Branco (professor da Universidade do Algarve e seu atual reitor) publicou recentemente, intitulado Visita Guiada ao Ofício do Ator: um Método (Grácio Editor). Esta obra tem duas partes distintas: uma primeira, em que contextualiza a sua experiência teatral, a criação de um mestrado nessa área e consequente criação de um grupo de teatro, a assunção de pertença a uma determinada linhagem, da qual é um dos seus elos, estruturada sob a figura tutelar de Fernando Amado, através da atriz Manuela de Freitas. Aí se apresentam e discutem conceitos fundamentais, como os de genealogia, linhagem, autenticidade, ética, estética, técnica, mas também descrições de exercícios e outros aspetos práticos do ofício de ator, próprios de uma visita guiada (algo diferente de um manual). A segunda parte é composta por todos os documentos possíveis de obter sobre a atriz Manuela de Freitas, desde entrevistas que deu na televisão ou em encontros vários e que aqui são transcritas pela primeira vez, a textos por ela escritos e dispersos. Ficamos a saber muito sobre a sua vida como atriz e quais os valores sobre os quais fundou a sua postura no teatro.

The present research deals with the modernization process of the Cidade da Parahyba2, between 1850 and 1924, and its relation with the cotton economy, which represented the main source of wealth accumulation for both the private and the public sectors throughout the First Republic. This study on urban history was developed by focusing on the understanding of the city s spatial formation, and despite its emphasis on the economic aspects involved, other factors that also contribute to the development of the social life were not put aside. The modernization process of the Cidade da Parahyba was also analyzed during the period established for the study according to a chronological and thematic approach that established comparisons with the financial situation of the State, whenever this was necessary, with special attention to the contribution of the cotton economy to the State´s revenues. It was possible to detect a lack of financial help and loans from the federal and municipal administrations for finishing several public works already underway in the capital, since the federal funds allocated to the State of Parahyba do Norte were rather employed in emergency works against droughts and in agricultural development. One can then conclude that the financial resources required for the urban interventions were withdrawn from the State s treasury itself, resources that were collected mainly from activities such as cotton exportation and cotton trading. Another factor shows the interdependence between the urban remodeling and the cotton economy: during the years marked by great droughts or by hard plagues on the cotton plantations, cotton production decreased, as well as the State s finances. The first measures taken by the State s administrators were to halt all projects of urban remodeling in progress in the Cidade da Parahyba, which was, clearly, the most privileged city by the State s presidents during the period analyzed. 2 The city of João Pessoa was named Cidade da Parahyba, a designation that remained until September 1930, when it received its present-day name in order to pay homage to the president of the State, João Pessoa Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, murdered in the city of Recife in August of that same year. At that time, the State of Paraíba was known as Parahyba do Norte. Since this work is limited to a period of time comprised within the First Republic, the names employed respect the terms used in those days

Sea urchins are common benthic organisms on coastal ecosystems of tropical and temperate shallow waters. The impact of sea urchins populations in shore communities is density-dependent, and therefore, knowledge of the life history of these animals is important to understand these interactions. Between 2000 and 2005 a population boom of Tripneustes ventricosus was observed in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. In 2004 a research program was started to monitor the population dynamics of T. ventricosus in the archipelago, when it noted a lack of basic information on the biology and reproduction of this species, despite its broad geographic distribution and economic importance in parts of its occurrence. In this context, this work focuses on the reproductive biology of T. ventricosus with emphasis on the description of the gametogenic stages. Between December 2006 and July 2007, ten urchins were collected by snorkeling in two sites of the archipelago, totaling 120 individuals. Gametogenic stages were described for both sexes through microscopic analysis, and were defined as: Recovery, Growing, Premature, Mature and Spawning. Results showed increasing in Gonad index throughout of months of sampling and suggest that the reproductive cycle of the species in the archipelago is annual

Sea urchins are benthic macroinvertebrates that inhabit shallow coastal waters in tropical and temperate zones. Urchins are usually classified as generalists or omnivores as they can adjust their diet according to the food resources available in the environment. Due to the strong grazing pressure they may exert, urchins have an important role in marine ecosystems, occupying different trophic levels and stimulating the intensification of the dynamics of communities where they occur. In 2004, a monitoring program focused on the population dynamics of the white sea urchin, Tripneustes ventricosus, has been initiated in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. At the same time, a surprisingly lack of information on the species biology has been noted, despite their wide geographical distribution and economic importance in many parts of its range. Hence, this work was developed to provide information on the feeding habits of T. ventricosus in the archipelago. Ten specimens were collected between December 2006 and July 2007 at two sites of the archipelago, Air France and Sueste Bay for biometrics and analysis of gut contents. Test diameters ranged from 9.19 cm (± 1.1) to 10.08 cm (± 0.58). Calculated stomach repletion index (IRE) was higher (p <0.05) in the Air France site and also during January and July. The IRE was not correlated to the gonad index. Fifteen different species of algae were detected in a total of 120 stomachs examined: 4 Chlorophytas, 4 Phaeophytas and 6 Rhodophytas. Food diversity (p <0.05) was higher in December 2006 and January 2007. Although several items had a high frequency of occurrence, they were low represented in terms of weight, and consequently, had a low level of relative importance. The brown algae Dictyopteris spp and Dictyota spp, followed by the green algae Caulerpa verticillata accounted for the greatest importance in T. ventricosus diet, comprising about 90% of the consumed items

The aim of this study was to test the sediment preference of L. vannamei shrimp. It was observed shrimp visit frequency, swimming and burying behaviour at different sediment compositions for 24h. Juvenile (0.93 ± 0.29g) and sub-adult shrimps (10.0 ± 1.18g) were obtained from the aquaculture station at Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido UFERSA, and held in a plastic tank (water volume 500 L) supplied with aerated water and kept at constant temperature, pH, and salinity. Shrimp was fed by commercial shrimp dry food. The experimental substrates were composed by A: medium sand + thick sand + very thick sand + gravel; B: very fine sand + fine sand; and C: silt + clay. Thus, six different substrate combinations were tested: A, B, C, A+B, A+C, B+C. To test preference, it was used a cylindrical tank (40 l) divided into six differently substrate compartments. A single shrimp was introduced each tank and the frequency at which this shrimp visited each compartment was recorded over a 24h study period. It was tested 54 shrimp (18 sub-adult males, 18 subadult females and 18 juveniles). For each trial, sediment and water were changed to avoid pheromones and residues influence. Shrimp were weighted and sub-adults were divided by sex: males present petasma and females present thelycum. Data were collected on the experimental day at 19:30; 20:30; 00:30; 1:30; 05:30; 06:30; 13:30 and 14:30 h. At each time point, shrimp were observed for 20-min periods, in which we noted down which compartment the shrimp was occupying at 2-min intervals. Thus, for each period we had eleven observations (88 observations per day). For observations at night, it was used dim red light that did not affect shrimp behaviour. At each 20-min period, it was observed visit frequency in each substrate, if shrimp was burred or not or if it was swimming. There was not significant difference between light and dark burry activity for females. Swimming activity was significantly higher at night, mainly at 00:30 and 01:30 h. All L. vannamei shrimp showed preference for sediment B. This animal presents cyclic activity, spends the day light period buried and swims at night
