Serviço de Referência Virtual: implantação do serviço de chat

Introduction: With the invention of the Internet and the Collaborative Web, libraries had to rethink the way to offer their services. Thus, the U.S. libraries began a search for technological innovations in an effort to bring the library to the user through features that patrons commonly use. The Virtual Reference Service (VRS) through chat and reference services via videoconferencing are features that derived from this search. Objective: This article aims to outline the implementation process of Virtual Reference Services (SRV) libraries in American universities, particularly those for chat, as well as presenting the successful Brazilian experience. This paper also discusses factors to be considered for implementing virtual reference service via chat for libraries wishing to offer the service. Methodology: The research methodology is based on a theoretical search on international and national literature on the subject. The methodology also includes participant observation. Results: In Brazil the implementation of SRV in some university libraries has occurred and according to these institutions, the SRV is a service that benefits the community and puts the library in line with the demands of information technology and communication. Conclusions: It is concluded that online SRV is appropriate to the reality of university libraries in Brazil, since the institutions that offer the service have positive results from their assessments and believe they are adding value to their library.

Estudo de cerâmicas avançadas para fins de blindagem balística

The research involving new materials has always been considered as a differential in the development of a technology company. This occurred naturally since ancient times, often motivated by reasons of a certain age, where the most common material used was also the name of your time and may be cited as an example the Bronze Age, and later was the Iron. Currently, the use of firearms are they used in resolving conflicts between countries, or a more equivocal, as an instrument of social banditry make innovations in the area of shielding welcome, whether for personal use, in the form of vests or vehicle such as cars, tanks and even aircraft. In this context, is a Silicon Carbide Ceramic, with low density and high hardness. Thus, the aim of this study is the evaluation and comparison of these materials, seeking to improve their properties by means of additives such as boron and silicon metal and amorphous YAG. For this work, the specimens were pre-shaped by means of uniaxial later to be referred for isostatic pressing and sintering. The maximum percentage for each additive was 5%, except for the YAG whose percentage was 8.2% (mass percentage). All compositions were subjected to the same tests (x-ray diffraction, apparent density, optical microscopy, Vickers hardness, scanning electron Microscopita), so that one could draw a comparison between the materials under study, samples that showed better mechanical properties and micro structural, related here by hardness testing and microscopy (optical and SEM) were the silicon carbide doped with YAG and alumina samples, demonstrating the potential of these materials for ballistic protection. Other compositions have high porosity, which is highly undesirable, since in order to harmful influences on the mechanical properties discussed below

Arte & jóia: uma análise da joalheria contemporânea brasileira

Since the beginning human needs to produce elements artistics, in such way that can set their history and pass a language, be it as art, culture and / or as an identity. Within this context, the jewelry was being developed, its characteristics and aesthetics, in a period, being artistic, historic, marking this form a civilization, a document, with its innovations and concepts. Nowadays, with technology, trade and the need to search for creations and innovations in the jewelry section, was prepared and developed those that we call Art jewelry. This study brings a trajectory through the history of jewelry art and jewelry; specifying in the contemporary period the various types of jewelry such as author and industry, its artists and jewelers; parts exhibited in museums and designed for competitions, thus creating a analysis of contemporary jewelry

Games independentes: plataformas de inovação das novas mídias no contexto da economia criativa

Creative spaces need freedom. Any productions, especially with artistic content, need space to mistakes, that is, for an attempt away from the standard. The independent production environment is recognized in different artistic sectors as a space for innovation, to be free of the serial production logic. The major innovations in the international scenario of games came from the independent productions. Great classics revolutionized the aesthetics and functionality of this new media. This project aims to analyze the productive chains of Brazilian independent games, starting with a regional analysis. The goal is to observe the factors responsible for the innovation that these games can offer, the management aspects of creative processes, articulation of innovative agents and resources mobilized. Brazil currently has the fourth largest gaming market in the world with expectation of strong growth for years to come, but arises in the international market as a consumer. Given this regional demand is necessary to study the tools of production, even to help fill that need. Not only the production of games should be thought, the media coverage is also another important factor, in view of the economic importance of this segment. Understanding the mechanisms of innovation in the gaming universe, its impact on the formation of public and coverage of specialized journalism in this new media are possible outcomes of future studies and research that scientific research can contribute

Structure-function Relationships Using the Cirrus Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomograph and Standard Automated Perimetry

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between glaucomatous structural damage assessed by the Cirrus Spectral Domain OCT (SDOCT) and functional loss as measured by standard automated perimetry (SAP). Methods: Four hundred twenty-two eyes (78 healthy, 210 suspects, 134 glaucomatous) of 250 patients were recruited from the longitudinal Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study and from the African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study. All eyes underwent testing with the Cirrus SDOCT and SAP within a 6-month period. The relationship between parapapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) sectors and corresponding topographic SAP locations was evaluated using locally weighted scatterplot smoothing and regression analysis. SAP sensitivity values were evaluated using both linear as well as logarithmic scales. We also tested the fit of a model (Hood) for structure-function relationship in glaucoma. Results: Structure was significantly related to function for all but the nasal thickness sector. The relationship was strongest for superotemporal RNFL thickness and inferonasal sensitivity (R(2) = 0.314, P < 0.001). The Hood model fitted the data relatively well with 88% of the eyes inside the 95% confidence interval predicted by the model. Conclusions: RNFL thinning measured by the Cirrus SDOCT was associated with correspondent visual field loss in glaucoma.

A arquitetura habitacional social brasileira: propostas assertivas e inovações no âmbito dos institutos de previdência estatais do Século XX

No Brasil, a repetição descomedida de tipologias, partidos arquitetônicos e urbanísticos nos conjuntos residenciais sociais tomou vulto a partir da segunda metade da década de 1960, no âmbito do recém-criado Banco Nacional de Habitação (BNH). A produção desse órgão, até a década de 1980, é marcada pela disseminação do modelo da casa unifamiliar isolada no lote, com cobertura em duas águas, e pela perpetuação dos blocos com quatro pavimentos assentados diretamente no solo, com programas e plantas padrões implantadas sem levar em consideração os aspectos físico-climáticos e culturais locais. Essas unidades foram situadas em grandes conjuntos sem infraestrutura e/ou equipamentos coletivos, localizados, na maior parte das vezes, nas periferias das cidades. Porém, num momento anterior, mais precisamente entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960, os debates sobre a temática da moradia econômica e/ou mínima renderam ao país uma gama de propostas inovadoras, com destaque para as formulações e modelos pensados e concebidos pelos institutos de previdência, em especial, pelas Caixas e Institutos de Aposentadoria e Pensões (CAPs/IAPs). Nesse contexto, o presente artigo se propõe a apresentar as principais diretrizes que regeram as ações imobiliárias dos mencionadas instituições previdenciárias estatais no Brasil, bem como identificar e analisar algumas das inovações pensadas e concretizadas nesse sentido, muitas das quais foram relegadas a partir de 1964. Para tanto, tirar-se-á partido, sobremaneira, de dados primários relacionados à estruturação e à evolução dos regimentos e regulamentos das ações dos supracitados órgãos no campo da moradia, encontrados essencialmente nos arquivos jurídicos do país, bem como de pesquisa documental específica nos processos de financiamentos imobiliários concedidos aos trabalhadores urbanos brasileiros, ao longo das quatro décadas de atuação das CAPs e dos IAPs. O estudo destas vertentes, contextualizando-as no cenário das mudanças contemporâneas, conforma um esforço de compreensão da história da moradia social no Brasil, como também, das políticas públicas habitacionais no país.
