Previsão da requeima da batateira

Com o objetivo de adequar um sistema de previsão para uso criterioso do controle químico da requeima da batateira (Solanum tuberosum), foram instalados ensaios em condição de campo, seguindo-se o delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso, com sete tratamentos e quatro repetições, com a cultivar Bintje. Os fungicidas dimetomorfe, cimoxanil, mancozeb e clorotalonil foram associados com diferentes esquemas de pulverização baseados no sistema de previsão modificado de Wallin (1962) e no sistema tradicional de controle da requeima. Os tratamentos consistiram de : 1) aplicação de dimetomorfe de acordo com VSD-12 + clorotalonil semanalmente; 2) aplicação de dimetomorfe de acordo com VSD-14 + clorotalonil semanalmente; 3) aplicação de dimetomorfe de acordo com VSD-16 + clorotalonil semanalmente; 4) aplicação dos fungicidas protetores mancozeb, clorotalonil e oxicloreto de cobre alternados a cada sete dias; 5) aplicação dos fungicidas mancozeb, dimetomorfe, clorotalonil e cimoxanil, alternados a cada sete dias; 6) aplicação de dimetomorfe + clorotalonil de acordo com VSD-12; e 7) testemunha (sem aplicação). O uso do sistema de previsão conforme os tratamentos 1, 2 e 3 apresentou eficiência comparável ao calendário semanal (tratamento 5) de pulverização no controle da requeima da batateira. Os tratamentos baseados no acúmulo de 12 e 14 VSD's apresentaram maior eficiência em prever a ocorrência de epidemias da requeima. Apenas o sistema de previsão 2, permitiu reduzir o número de pulverizações com fungicida sistêmico, sem que houvesse perda significativa na produção.

HTML-teknologian hyödyntäminen Web-sovelluksen prototypoinnissa

Käyttöliittymä on rajapinta käyttäjän ja järjestelmän tarjoamien toimintojen välillä ja sen toimivuus vaikuttaa toimintojen suorittamiseen joko positiivisesti tai negatiivisesti. Täten sovelluksen suunnitteluvaiheessa on hyvä arvioida käyttöliittymän ja sen toimintojen laatua ja kokeilla ideoiden toimivuutta rakentamalla asiasta prototyyppejä. Prototypoinnilla voidaan tunnistaa ja korjata mahdolliset ongelmat jo suunnittelupöydällä. Tämä diplomityö käsittelee Web-sovelluksen kehityksen aikana toteutettua käyttöliittymän ja sen toimintojen prototypointia. Käyttöliittymien mallintamista voidaan toteuttaa erilaisilla menetelmillä, joita työssä käydään läpi teknologisista näkökulmista eli miten prototypointimenetelmiä voidaan soveltaa projektin eri vaiheissa. Prototypoinnin apuna käytettäviin työkaluihin luodaan lyhyt katsaus esitellen yleisellä tasolla muutamia eri sovelluskategorian ohjelmistoja ja lisäksi käsitellään suunnittelumallien hyödyntämistä. Työ osoittaa, että yleisiä prototypointimenetelmiä ja -periaatteita voidaan soveltaa Web-sovellusten prototypoinnissa. Prototypointi on hyödyllistä aloittaa luonnostelemalla ja jatkaa aikaisessa vaiheessa HTML-malleihin, joilla päästään lähelle toteutuksen teknologioita ja mallintamaan sovelluksen luonnetta, ilmettä, tuntumaa ja vuorovaikutusta. HTML-prototyypeistä voidaan jalostaa sekoitetun tarkkuuden malleja ja ne toimivat toteutuksen perustana. Jatkokehityksessä ideoita voidaan esittää useilla eri tarkkuuden tekniikoilla.

Controle da requeima em tomateiro industrial com fungicidas e silicato de potássio

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de fungicidas e silicato de potássio, no controle da requeima (Phytophthora infestans), em tomateiro industrial. Os fungicidas foram aplicados com base no sistema de previsão de Wallin e calendário fixo de pulverizações. Empregou-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados com 6 tratamentos e 4 repetições. Os tratamentos (T) foram: T1 - testemunha; T2 - dimetomorfe + clorotalonil (valores de severidade da doença (VSD = 10) + metiram; T3 - metalaxil-M + clorotalonil (VSD = 10) + metiram (o metiram foi aplicado somente na semana onde o VSD não atingiu o valor requerido para o tratamento); T4 - calendário fixo: dimetomorfe + clorotalonil, mancozeb, metalaxil-M + clorotalonil e clorotalonil, alternados semanalmente; T5 - silicato de potássio (5 g/L) e T6 - silicato de potássio (15 g/L). A severidade foi avaliada utilizando-se uma escala descritiva variando de 0 a 100 %. A severidade final foi: 100; 2,6; 12,3; 5,5; 97,6 e 96 %, respectivamente, nos tratamentos T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 e T6. A severidade foi em média, 93 % menor nos tratamentos que receberam aplicações de fungicidas em relação a testemunha. Dentre os tratamentos que empregaram sistema de previsão o 2 apresentou melhor resultado do que o 3. O tratamento 2 apresentou eficiência comparável ao calendário semanal (tratamento 4), apresentando produtividades de 62.103,73 e 52.473,33 kg/ha, respectivamente, sendo superiores aos demais tratamentos. Aplicações de silicato de potássio nas duas doses testadas não diferiram significativamente da testemunha, indicando a ineficiência do produto em controlar a requeima.

Microscopic simulation of pigment coating consolidation

The control of coating layer properties is becoming increasingly important as a result of an emerging demand for novel coated paper-based products and an increasing popularity of new coating application methods. The governing mechanisms of microstructure formation dynamics during consolidation and drying are nevertheless, still poorly understood. Some of the difficulties encountered by experimental methods can be overcome by the utilisation of numerical modelling and simulation-based studies of the consolidation process. The objective of this study was to improve the fundamental understanding of pigment coating consolidation and structure formation mechanisms taking place on the microscopic level. Furthermore, it is aimed to relate the impact of process and suspension properties to the microstructure of the coating layer. A mathematical model based on a modified Stokesian dynamics particle simulation technique was developed and applied in several studies of consolidation-related phenomena. The model includes particle-particle and particle-boundary hydrodynamics, colloidal interactions, Born repulsion, and a steric repulsion model. The Brownian motion and a free surface model were incorporated to enable the specific investigation of consolidation and drying. Filter cake stability was simulated in various particle systems, and subjected to a range of base substrate absorption rates and system temperatures. The stability of the filter cake was primarily affected by the absorption rate and size of particles. Temperature was also shown to have an influence. The consolidation of polydisperse systems, with varying wet coating thicknesses, was studied using imposed pilot trial and model-based drying conditions. The results show that drying methods have a clear influence on the microstructure development, on small particle distributions in the coating layer and also on the mobility of particles during consolidation. It is concluded that colloidal properties can significantly impact coating layer shrinkage as well as the internal solids concentration profile. Visualisations of particle system development in time and comparison of systems at different conditions are useful in illustrating coating layer structure formation mechanisms. The results aid in understanding the underlying mechanisms of pigment coating layer consolidation. Guidance is given regarding the relationship between coating process conditions and internal coating slurry properties and their effects on the microstructure of the coating.

Soldiering and the making of Finnish manhood : conscription and masculinity in interwar Finland, 1918–1939

Military conscription and peacetime military service were the subjects of heated political, social and cultural controversies during the early years of national independence in Finland. Both the critics and the supporters of the existing military system described it as strongly formative of young men’s physical and moral development into adult men and male citizens. The conflicts over conscription prompted the contemporaries to express their notions about what Finnish men were like, at their best and at their worst, and what should and could be done about it. This thesis studies military conscription as an arena for the “making of manhood” in peacetime Finnish society, 1918–1939. It examines a range of public images of conscripted soldiering, asking how soldiering was depicted and given gendered meanings in parliamentary debates, war hero myths, texts concerned with the military and civic education of conscripts, as well as in works of fiction and reminiscences about military training as a personal experience. Studying conscription with a focus on masculinity, the thesis explores the different cultural images of manliness, soldiering and male citizenship on offer in Finnish society. It investigates how political parties, officers, educators, journalists, writers and “ordinary” conscripts used and developed, embraced or rejected these notions, according to their political purposes or personal needs. The period between the two world wars can be described as a fast-forward into military modernity in Finland. In the process, European middle class gender ideologies clashed with Finnish agrarian masculinities. Nationalistic agendas for the militarisation of Finnish manhood stumbled against intense class conflicts and ideological resistance. Military propaganda used images of military heroism, civic virtue and individual success to persuade the conscripts into ways of thinking and acting that were shaped by bourgeois mentality, nationalistic ideology and religious morality. These images are further analysed as expressive of the personal experiences and emotions of their middle-aged, male authors. The efforts of these military educators were, however, actively resisted on many fronts, ranging from rural working class masculinities among the conscripted young men to ideological critiques of the standing army system in parliament. In narratives about military training, masculinity was depicted as both strengthened and contradicted by the harsh and even brutal practices of interwar Finnish military training. The study represents a combination of new military history and the historical study of men and masculinities. It approaches masculinity as a contested and highly political form of social and cultural knowledge that is actively and selectively used by historic actors. Instead of trying to identify a dominant or “hegemonic” form of masculinity within a pre-determined theoretical structure, this study examines how the meanings ascribed to manhood varied according to class, age, political ideology and social situation. The interwar period in Finland can be understood as a period of contest between different notions of militarised masculinity, yet to judge by the materials studied, there was no clear winning party in that contest. A gradual movement from an atmosphere of conflict surrounding conscription towards political and cultural compromises can be discerned, yet this convergence was incomplete and many division lines remained.
