Aplicação do AHP em um caso de escolha dos modais de transporte para a movimentação das partes de um aerogerador

Wind power is a type of energy that is still not too explored in Brazil and, because of the lack of experience in projects of this size, there are still some problems during the stages of planning and execution of wind farms projects. One of these problems is related with the parts’ transportation logistics, since these parts are difficult to transport, because of their length, weight or shape. Furthermore, another aggravating factor is the lack of options regarding to the transportation modals that are available to do the route between the manufacture place and the project site. To help in the decision-making process about the ideal transportation configuration, aiming to reduce the dependence of the logistics’ coordinator, it was chosen to use he AHP method to compare some criteria that have influence in the modal’s choice process. The criteria, determined by the members of the company’s logistics’ department, are: transportation costs, transportation time and the risk of causing damages to the cargo. The results shown by this model, using theoretical background, that standardize the processes related to the modal’s choice

A presença das TIC no curso de licenciatura em matemática da UNESP - campus Guaratinguetá

This research shows an investigation on teaching formation in regards to the TICs. Our interest in this subject is due to the fact that new generations of students who attend school require that the classes make use of technology in the classroom environment. By following the phenomenological orientation we have carried out a study which involved a field research at the College of Engineering in Guaratinguetá using the graduate as well as senior students of the Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics of this university. We have analyzed the data under the light of texts of the following authors: Filho (2007), Valente (1993), Miskulin (2006), Borba and Penteado (2001) among others in order to understand the teacher`s formation process to act using technologies in the classroom and its relevance. The data that has been analyzed was obtained in interviews which were conducted with the students of this university. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed according to the rigor of phenomenological research procedures involving ideographic and nomothetic analysis. This analysis has led us to three open categories: 1) Mathematics learning through TICs; 2) Technologies that have been used; 3) Teacher`s role. By understanding the open categories we have been able to grasp that the students -future teachers- admit feeling capable of using technology in their classes, however their testimonies in regards to the TIC`s have led us to believe that there would be a reproduction of the content studied at their time at college without using further reflection upon the subject or autonomy in order to create new projects for teaching Mathmatics using these TICs

A influência da temperatura nas impedâncias de sequência de condutores utilizados na rede primária de distribuição

Distribution networks are formed by long lines that carry electricity substations to homes and industries. These lines have associated impedance and depending on operating conditions of the network these impedances may vary. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the effects observed in studies of voltage drop, short circuit and electrical losses, when considered the drivers sequence impedances used in primary distribution network at different temperatures. Therefore, it is initially presented a calculation methodology and details the factors that influence the final values. The methodology presented tackles in a practical way the main factors that directly or indirectly influence the values of the impedances as an emblematic example and will be properly dealt with throughout the paper is the effect of temperature on the values of the sequence impedances. More specifically is dealt with the case of XLPE cables protected, by having a higher maximum operating temperature than the operating temperature of the network. The effects observed in the power flow generated when considering the impedance values at both temperatures were analyzed. The impedance drivers tend to increase with increasing temperature. Thus the impedance of the conductor XLPE protected will tend to be greater for the maximum operating temperature for which the operating temperature of the network, resulting in greater voltage drop and higher electrical losses

Pluralismo metodológico e aprendizagem dos alunos no ensino fundamental

Over the years is a significant number of researchers consider constructivism as a methodology above the rest and that can be applied to any educational context, and is therefore the ideal methodology in the present moment. However, as opposed to this idea, there is a growing body of research that consider the methodological pluralism how best to teach in class, precisely because it is not just one, but several methodological practices which vary according to the educational needs of students. This exhibit features four lessons presented to students of 6th and 8th grade of elementary school II, two lessons using experimental activities, a lesson using Demo activity and a lesson using texts textbooks. In all four lessons there was a collection of data on students' understanding about the physical concepts covered by each of the above four lessons either through questionnaires, video recording, and more. Based on Vygotsky's theory of social interaction and constructs Wertsch (1984), this article raises important discussions about the advantages and disadvantages of these three methodologies within the pluralistic proposal

Alta pressão hidrostática: tecnologia promissora na conservação de alimentos

Descoberta desde 1889 por Hite, a alta pressão hidrostática tem ganhado cada vez mais espaço na indústria de alimentos nos últimos vinte anos. Com todas as vantagens a ela atribuída, essa tecnologia vem para suprir um mercado onde o consumidor exige um alimento seguro e de qualidade cada vez maior. Uma alternativa aos tratamentos térmicos convencionais, a alta pressão hidrostática não somente se sobressai pela sua eficiência tecnológica, oferecendo conservação de atributos sensoriais e nutricionais dos alimentos, como é capaz de proporcionar alimentos seguros microbiologicamente, conferindo uma maior qualidade aos produtos quando comparada a outros tratamentos. Esta revisão sistemática de literatura teve como objetivo discutir a aplicação da alta pressão hidrostática na indústria alimentícia e seu papel como uma tecnologia promissora. A metodologia consistiu em selecionar textos científicos específicos sobre o assunto a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica em banco de dados eletrônicos e livros. Quatro livros e nove textos científicos foram selecionados, entre o período de 2002 e 2014. Conclui-se com esta revisão sistemática de literatura que a alta pressão hidrostática apresenta um futuro promissor na indústria de alimentos. No entanto, pesquisas são necessárias para um estabelecimento de padrões de valores atribuídos ao processo (como pressão, tempo e temperatura, por exemplo) especificamente para cada produto submetido à tecnologia

Antidepressivo modula o comportamento e a expressão gênica das cadeias de miosina, serca2 e fosfolambam em ratos com insuficiência aórtica?

Introduction: Aortic insufficiency (AoI), a volume overload, is characterized by the diastolic reflux of blood from the regurgitating aorta to the left ventricle. This effect results from malfunctioning aortic cusps. The main cause of AoI in developing countries is rheumatic fever, including Brazil, and valvar degeneration in developed countries. There is a strong association between cardiovascular diseases and depression. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are one of the most prescribed antidepressants in the world. Previous studies of our laboratory showed that the utilization of a SSRI, paroxetine, improved cardiac function in rats with sub-chronic AoI and reduced the daily ingestion of hypertonic sodium (NaCl 0,3M). Cardiovascular diseases can determine behavior changes like increase of anxiety, and it is yet unknown if AoI would determine anxiety or anhedonia, incapacity of obtaining pleasure through physical or sensorial experiences. A possible target for SSRI action could be a change in the expression of enzyme isoforms that collaborate in the contractile function of the heart muscle, like the heavy chains of myosine, the sarcoplasmatic reticulum Ca2+/ATPase (SERCA) and its regulator protein, phospholamban (PLB). Objectives: Evaluation of behavior parameters for anxiety and anhedonia state and genic expression of a-myosine, b-myosine, SERCA2a and PLB in the heart tissue of rats with subchronic AoI that received treatment with an SSRI (paroxetine) for 4 weeks. Methods: Surgery to induce AoI was performed on male Wistar rats, anxiety was evaluated by the elevated plus-maze (EPM) and state of anhedonia was tested by ingestion of 2% sucrose solution. After euthanasia the heart tissue was collected and total RNA was extracted to be analyzed by the RT-qPCR method. Results: Heart fractional shortening was preserved in rats with AoI that were treated compared to rats with AoI that were not treated. There was no statistically ...

Danças urbanas no Brasil: relatos de uma história

This research is a short article about urban dances in Brazil, about how did it came and became popular here, and also it will discuss about the different nomenclatures that exists nowadays: street dance, dances from street or urban dances. As a bibliographic reference, a research was made about the history of those dances in an international context, the creators and all the elements that consists the Hip hop culture: Break dance, grafitte, MC and DJ. The research methodology is characterized as a qualitative, it search for information that can be deeply studded, and the method used was history telling, which prize and brings up the man memory of the facts. The interview was also used as a tool in a previously elaborated script with open questions, so the interviewees could answer their own way and talk as much as they need about the issue. The analyze was made using the Bardin (2009) method. The interviewees are very important at the Hip Hop scenario because their lives were dedicated to the research about urban dances and the Hip Hop culture. During the interview they told how they started to dance and that their first contact with urban dances was made by watching movies that came to Brazil in the eighties. Michael Jackson has also contributed to spread this urban dances at that time with his videos. The main goal of this research is to tell the history of the urban dances, how did they got here, who brought it and how it has spread in Brazil. It justify itself during the fact that exists just a few researches in a scientific way that study this issue, thus the history importance that this contents is to the urban dances in Brazil. My conclusion of this article is that the history has many different ways, a lot of names, and that the urban dances in Brazil has began in many different places at the same time, by films influence that has promoted the styles that had came here in the eighties

Diagnóstico genético pré-implantacional de embriões equinos

O diagnóstico genético pré-implantacional de embriões equinos já é uma realidade nos Estados Unidos e Argentina. Embora o Brasil seja líder mundial de transferência de embriões equinos, essa tecnlogia ainda está em fase de desenvolvimento, com poucos grupos atuando nessa área no país. O objetivo do presente projeto foi desenvolver a metodologia de micromanipulação e identificação do sexo de embriões equinos a campo. Dessa forma, selecionamos sequências específicas para padronização laboratorial dos ensaios de PCR com amostras de DNA da espécie equina. Os primers que apresentaram maior sensibilidade foram selecionados para a realização da PCR em biópsias embrionárias. Além das análises de biologia molecular, foi desenvolvida a técnica de micromanipulação de embriões equinos. Foram realizadas 105 biópsias de embriões pela técnica de microaspiração, permitindo a identificação do sexo pela técnica de WGA (Whole Genome Amplification) e posteriormente PCR seguido de eletroforese. Os embriões sexados foram transferidos para receptoras sincronizadas, permitindo a avaliação da taxa de concepção dos embriões submetidos à biópsia. Além disso, um embrião foi biopsiado, vitrificado e sexado. Após a identificação do sexo (fêmea) o embrião foi desvitrificado e transferido em receptora criteriosamente selecionada, resultando em prenhez

Diretrizes básicas para projetos de vasos de pressão segundo a ASME Trabalho

In this work it was made analysis of a simple pressure vessel, using the analytical development studied in Mechanics of Materials disciplines, and then using the standard required by ASME. Following the simulation was realized using Autodesk Mechanical Simulation software to calculate the principal stresses in a pressure vessel. The simulation was done in a single vessel without nozzles, compared with the analytic calculation. After that, the simulation of another fictitious pressure vessel was done by adding three nozzles to verify the influence of the nozzles in the principal stresses and compared with the analytical results. After the simulation, it was found that the principal are bigger in the pressure vessel with nozzles, but they decrease at a small distance from the nozzle becoming equal to the stresses in the vessel without nozzles. The analytical results calculated according to the ASME agree with simulated results
