O referido projeto tem como objetivo principal a avaliação das capacidades técnicas, económicas e ambientais da ilha do Príncipe (República democrática de S. Tomé e Príncipe) para possibilitar a instalação de uma central piloto (500 kW) de produção de energia elétrica a partir de biomassa captada proveniente de la floresta (resíduos florestais) e campos agrícolas(resíduos agrícolas) com intuito de aumentar a potência total instalada na ilha. S. Tomé e Príncipe é um país subdesenvolvido e partilha de um dos maiores problemas dos países dessa categoria, a precária produção e distribuição da energia elétrica a população. Em S. Tomé e Príncipe estes problemas são derivados a fraca potência instalada e dependência de combustíveis fósseis. Especificamente na ilha do Príncipe, a situação é ainda mais complicada, situação prendesse com o facto de que o transporte de combustível da Ilha de S. Tomé para a ilha do Príncipe não se processar num regime contínuo, devido ao aumento do consumo pela população da Ilha do Príncipe conjugado com a fraca potência instalada e a falta de condições ideais de armazenamento de combustível, o que origina muitas falhas na distribuição de eletricidade ou uma racionalidade na sua distribuição. A racionalidade de distribuição de eletricidade na ilha do Príncipe segue o princípio de fornecimento em momentos de maior necessidade, isto é: horários em que as famílias se encontram juntas em suas casas (18 as 24h), períodos de maior produtividade da ilha (8 as 12h), com interregnos de várias horas na distribuição. Este princípio não respeita instituições como os hospitais onde a necessidade de energia elétrica permanente é uma necessidade. Outra motivação para a elaboração deste projeto é o facto de que a ilha do Príncipe a partir de ano 2012 passou a ser uma reserva da Biosfera da UNESCO. Este facto obrigou obviamente a ilha do Príncipe a ter uma maior preocupação com a sustentabilidade ambiental. Perante essas necessidades, surgiu a necessidade de criação de um projeto que tentasse cobrir as lacunas elétricas da Ilha do Príncipe. O projeto é ambicioso, não só para S. Tomé e Príncipe, mas também para todos os países da região e principalmente aqueles com grande potencialidade em biomassa florestal e agrícola.

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

Methomyl (Lannate®) is an insecticide from the carbamate group, frequently used in pest control in various types of crops. This compound works inhibiting the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. The use of physicochemical and ecotoxicological analysis is the most efficient strategy for the correct characterization and control of residues of metomil. The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the acute toxicity of methomyl in 96 hours of exposure and, through a sublethal assay of 5 hours, to assess its effect on the activity of acetylcholinesterase present in brain and squeletic dorsal muscle of the Danio rerio fish. The results showed that the LC50-96 found to D. rerio was 3.4 mg/L and it was found through the average of four definitive tests. In vitro assays were used to test the inhibitory action of methomyl directly over soluble AChE, extracted from the squeletic dorsal muscle, with maximum inhibition of 68.57% to the insecticide concentrations of 0.2 mg/L. In sublethal tests with D. rerio, inhibitory effect of methomyl was found over the soluble form of AChE in the squeletic dorsal muscle, both in one and five hours of fish exposure to the insecticide. In both period, the average values of inhibition were around 61%. In the same condition, no significant inhibitory effect of methomyl soluble and membrane AChE of the D. rerio was observed in the 0.42, 0.85, 1.70 and 2.50 mg/L concentrations and in both times of fish exposure

The identification of genotypes for drought tolerance has a great importance in breeding programs. The aim of this study was to characterize genotypes of beans in response to drought tolerance in different reproductive stages through physiologic, agronomic and molecular analysis. The experiment was conducted in greenhouse, using a randomized block design with four replicates; 10 cultivars: ANFC 9, ANFP 110, BRS Esplendor, BRSMG Realce, IPR Siriri, IPR Tangará, IPR Tuiuiu, IPR Uirapuru, IAC Imperador and IAC Milênio under two conditions of irrigation: plants irrigated during their entire life cycle, and plants under irrigation suppression in the reproductive stage (R7) until 16% of field capacity, when the irrigation was restored. In the last four days of stress, the gas exchanges were analyzed, and in the last day of stress was analyzed the percentage of closed stomata in the abaxial surface of the leaves, collected in different times of the day (9h, 12h, 15h and 18h). Additionally, plant samples were collected for the following analysis: fresh and dry mass of leaves, stems and legumes, and proline content in leaves and roots. The plants were harvested at the physiological maturity and the yield components and grain yield were determined. In addition, in order to identify polymorphisms in the sequences of promoters and genes related to drought, seven pairs of primers were tested on the group of genotypes. The drought susceptibility indexes (ISS) ranged from 0.65 to 1.10 in the group of genotypes, which the lowest values observed were for IAC Imperador (0.65) and BRS Esplendor (0.87), indicating the ability of these two genotypes to maintain grain yield under water stress condition. All genotypes showed reduction in yield components under water stress. IAC Imperador (43.4%) and BRS Esplendor (60.6%) had the lowest reductions in productivity and kept about 50% of the stomata closed during all the different times evaluated at last day of irrigation suppression. IAC Imperador showed greater water use efficiency and CO2 assimilation rate under drought stress. IPR Tuiuiú, IPR Tangará and IAC Imperador had the highest proline concentrations in the roots. Under water stress condition, there was a strong positive correlation (0.696) between the percentage of stomata closed with the number of grains per plant (0.696) and the fresh mass of leaves (0.731), the maximum percentage of stomata closed 73.71% in water stress. The accumulation of proline in the root was the character that most contributed to the divergence between the genotypes under water deficit, but not always the genotypes that have accumulated more proline were the most tolerant. The polymorphisms in DNA of coding and promoting sequences of transcription factors studied in this experiment did not discriminate tolerant genotypes from the sensitive ones to water stress.

Dopamine (DA) is known to regulate both sleep and memory formations, while sleep plays a critical role in the consolidation of different types of memories. We believe that pharmacological manipulation of dopaminergic pathways might disrupt the sleep-wake cycle, leading to mnemonic deficits, which can be observed in both behavioral and molecular levels. Therefore, here we investigated how systemic injections of haloperidol (0.3 mg/kg), immediately after training in dark and light periods, affects learning assessed in the novel object preference test (NOPT) in mice. We also investigated the hippocampal levels of the plasticity-related proteins Zif-268, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and phosphorylated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases II (CaMKII-P) in non-exposed (naïve), vehicle-injected controls and haloperidol-treated mice at 3, 6 and 12 hours after training in the light period. Haloperidol administration during the light period led to a subsequent impairment in the NOPT. In contrast, preference was not observed during the dark period neither in mice injected with haloperidol, nor in vehicle-injected animals. A partial increase of CaMKII-P in the hippocampal field CA3 of vehicle-injected mice was detected at 3h. Haloperidol-treated mice showed a significant decrease in the dentate gyrus of CaMKII-P levels at 3, 6 and 12h; of Zif-268 levels at 6h, and of BDNF levels at 12h after training. Since the mnemonic effects of haloperidol were only observed in the light period when animals tend to sleep, we suggest that these effects are related to REM sleep disruption after haloperidol injection

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do horário de coleta no rendimento de óleo essencial de alfavaquinha (Ocimum selloi) e alecrim (Rosmarinus officinalis L.). O experimento foi realizado na EMBRAPA Meio Ambiente, localizada no município de Jaguariúna-SP. As plantas foram colhidas no campo experimental da EMBRAPA em cinco diferentes horários (8h30min, 10h30min, 12h30min, 14h30min e 16h30min). Os óleos essenciais das folhas foram extraídos por hidrodestilação em aparelho tipo Clevenger modificado. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, tendo como tratamento os horários de coleta. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o melhor horário para coleta de Ocimum selloi, visando a extração de óleo essencial é no período da manhã, antes das 10h e 30 minutos, e para Rosmarinus officinalis. L. o melhor horário é a partir das 16h e 30 minutos. Para as duas plantas estudadas o menor percentual de óleo essencial foi obtido ás 12h e 30 minutos, não sendo assim recomendado coleta neste horário para extração de óleo essencial.

A dimensão das questões curriculares, no ensino superior universitário, transcende, cada vez mais, os tradicionais, mas de crescente complexidade, campos do ensino e da aprendizagem. Na Universidade, para além de se ensinar e aprender, também se vive. Vive-se um dos períodos mais marcantes das vidas de cada um: a época em que se é jovem adulto. A uma organização curricular, institucionalmente ortodoxa, baseada na rigidez dos planos de estudo, dos horários e locais de trabalho e dos conhecimentos a adquirir, contrapõe-se, cada vez mais, uma procura personalizada de produtos educativos personalizados, flexíveis e adaptáveis às características, necessidades e contextos de quem os procura. O design curricular, no âmbito universitário, deverá caminhar no sentido da decrescente rigidez organizacional e da crescente flexibilidade (conferindo maior possibilidade de escolha do que se quer aprender) nunca abdicando das necessárias condições uniformizadas de certificação, que se constituem uma condição indispensável para o reconhecimento académico, profissional e social da formação recebida e/ou construída na Universidade. A presente comunicação pretende dar um contributo para a necessária reflexão que urge fazer sobre a missão da Universidade dos nossos dias.

This research presents a study investigating the correlation between the environmental-physycal charcateristics of cities and the formation of its micro-climates. The study was conducted in the central area of Fortaleza characterized as a stable and consolidated area, where the city originated and currently faces serious problems in its urban dynamics. The points of measurements were determined by the elaboration and analysis of topography maps, height of buildings, land use, type of surface coating and vegetation, following the methodology of Katzschner (1997). A zoning map was then determined, according to common morphological characteristics of the 12 measurement points, which were based on a set of Romero s (2001) bioclimatic criteria. Air measurements, temperature, humidity, intensity and direction of winds were made in transect form in two different circuits in the study area, with six points of data collection in each area, in three different times: 6:00 am, 1:00pm and 7:00pm, during two periods of the year: August 2008 and March 2009. The results verified the influence of different environmental-physical types in the behavior of the climatic variables that were collected. A verticalização tão condenada em algumas situações se bem equilibrada e controlada pode reduzir as temperaturas do ar através do sombreamento dos espaços urbanos e possibilidade de maior permeabilidade a ventilação natural. The highest average air temperature and lower humidity were recorded at the point I at all times. This situation may have been in result of the high density, poor vegetation and extended paving of the ground. According to the results, it s clear the positive influence vegetation has on easing air temperature. Another indicator observed that areas with a greater variation in building heights tend to present decreased average air temperature. High rise structure, planned in accordance to urban air quality parameters, can reduce air temperatures by the shading of urban spaces and the possibility of greater penetration of natural ventilation

A segurança da navegação e a diminuição dos acidentes marítimos assumem nos dias de hoje um papel de extrema importância a nível internacional, principalmente por parte da indústria marítima, e é na base desta preocupação que surgem organizações como a International Maritime Organization (IMO). Nesta organização, o estudo do fator humano no domínio marítimo tem tido grandes desenvolvimentos, não só através da regulamentação com também da sensibilização dos vários intervenientes. A fadiga no mar, embora seja um tema usual entre os navegantes, nunca houve uma grande sensibilização neste setor. Um tema que envolve a segurança do pessoal e que apenas recentemente foram elaborados estudos relativamente às suas causas, consequências e sobretudo à sua prevenção. É neste sentido que surge o Project Horizon, promovido pela União Europeia, com o objetivo de investigar os padrões de eficácia de alerta dos elementos responsáveis pela condução e manutenção das plataformas marítimas. Como produto final deste projeto europeu surge um protótipo de uma ferramenta de previsão da fadiga. A ferramenta “MARTHA – maritime alertness”, permite relacionar horas de descanso com horas de trabalho, sustentando a análise contínua do risco de fadiga. Este trabalho de investigação, onde é aplicado um protótipo de uma ferramenta para a previsão da fadiga, a bordo de uma unidade naval da Marinha Portuguesa, tem como objetivo a avaliação do risco da fadiga em diferentes regimes horários de bordo. Para este estudo foram elaborados observações de diferentes regimes horários de bordo, por forma a conseguir uma maior variedade de dados e poder analisar comparativamente o rendimento dos respetivos regimes. Esta pesquisa constitui ainda uma medida de sensibilização para a importância da implementação de políticas de gestão da fadiga a bordo das unidades navais.

O efluxo de CO2 do solo representa uma das formas de perda do carbono armazenado no solo. Diversos fatores contribuem para este processo, tais como a temperatura e umidade do solo, a distribuição do sistema radicular, a vegetação acima do solo, entre outros. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as variações de curto prazo no efluxo de CO2 do solo para determinar os horários que melhor representem a média do dia de emissão deste gás, em um sistema agroflorestal (SAF) com base na palma de óleo, em Tomé-Açu ? PA. Foram avaliados os valores de efluxo emitidos pelo componente da palma de óleo e de outras espécies contidas no SAF, mensurados nos horários de 6:30, 7:30, 9:00, 10:30, 12:30, 15:30, 19:00, 22:30, 02:30 e 04:30, em dois dias consecutivos. Os valores de efluxo também foram correlacionados com a temperatura do solo. A variável temperatura do solo não foi suficiente para explicar a variação temporal do efluxo, mas estas emissões foram influenciadas pela composição do sistema agroflorestal, sendo os maiores valores de efluxo de CO2 do solo observados no componente das outras espécies. Medidas de efluxo de CO2 do solo no intervalo entre 6:30 e 09:00 da manhã representam a média do efluxo diário. Portanto, este intervalo de medição é recomendado para o monitoramento.do efluxo de CO2 do solo no sistema avaliado.

This study was intended to investigate how the urban form has been influencing the changes in the climate of the city and make a correlation between the climate and the thermal sensation of the users of open spaces. The research was developed in the district of Petrópolis in Natal/ RN whose occupation has been almost consolidated. Among other reasons, this district was selected because it was planned considering the environmental aspects of comfort. The methodologies used are based on KATZSCHNER (1997) and OLIVEIRA (1988) studies, which suggest the drawing and analysis of maps of the area under study, including topography, height of the buildings, land use, green areas, and types of soil pavement, as well as measurement of the environmental variables: air temperature, relative humidity, direction and wind speed for a comparative study. As part of this, study local users of the district were interviewed about their thermal sensations in open spaces. For the statistical analysis, data was collected at 10 distinct points characterized by BUSTOS ROMERO (2002), being 8 within the district and 2 at different places (outside the district), at climatologic stations, in 3 periods (August/2000, January/2002 and June/2002), for 4 consecutive days for each measurement (from Sunday to Wednesday) at the time of lower and higher temperatures in the city, 6:00 am and 1:00 pm, respectively. At the same time interviews were carried out with users of the open spaces in the area, totaling 171 valid formularies. The urban form showed a rather leveled topography, great diversity of land use and height of the buildings, with the existence of an area mostly occupied with high buildings, very little green area and soil practically impermeable. The statistical analysis showed high temperature and humidity levels. The wind direction is predominantly Southeast with extremely variable speeds. When the data from this district is compared with the data from other areas in the city and its outskirt, it was observed that this district is hotter and less ventilated than the others; besides, most users said that they felt uncomfortable in the local environmental conditions. The results of the analysis generated a zoning for the district with recommendations for soil occupation. The profile of the user was defined regarding the thermal comfort, as well as some discussion about the comfort parameters, including the proposal of limiting areas of temperature and humidity for the thermal comfort in the open spaces
