A polyester film has a vast application field, due some properties that are inherent of this kind of material such as, good mechanical resistance, chemical resistance to acids and bases and low production cost. However, this material has some limitations as low superficial tension, flat surface, low affinity to dyers, and poor adhesion which impede the use of the same ones for some finality as good wettability. Among the existent techniques to increase the superficial tension, plasma as energy source is the more promising technique, because of their versatility and for not polluting the environment. The plasma surface polymeric modification has been used for many researchers, because it does not affect the environment with toxic agents, the alterations remains only at nanometric layers and this technique shows expressive results. Then, due to its good acceptance, polyester films were treated with oxygen plasma varying the treatment time from 10 to 60 min with an increase of 10 min to each subsequent treatment. Also, the samples were treated with a gas mixture (nitrogen + oxygen) varying the percentage of each gas the mixture from 0 to 100%, the treatment time remaining constant to all treatments (10 min). After plasma treatment the samples were characterized by contact angle, surface tension, Raman spectroscopy, Infrared attenuated total reflection (IR-ATR) and atomic force microscopy, with the aim to study the wettability increase of treated polyester films as its variables. In the (O2/N2) plasma treatment of polyester films can be observed an increase of superficial roughness superior to those treated by O2 plasma. By the other hand, the chemical modification through the implantation of polar groups at the surface is obtained more easily using O2 plasma treatment

The addition of active silica potentially improves the quality of concrete due to its high reactivity and pore refinement effect. The reactivity of silica is likely related to its charge density. Variations in surface charge alter the reactivity of the material consequently affecting the properties of concrete. The present study aimed at investigating variations in the charge density of silica as a function of acid treatments using nitric or phosphoric acid and different pH values (2.0, 4.0 and 6.0). Effects on concrete properties including slump, mechanical strength, permeability and chloride corrosion were evaluated. To that end, a statistical analysis was carried out and empirical models that correlate studied parameters (pH, acid and cement) with concrete properties were established. The quality of the models was tested by variance analysis. The results revealed that the addition of silica was efficiency in improving the properties of concrete, especially the electrochemical parameters. The addition of silica treated using nitric acid at pH = 4.0 displayed the best cement performance including highest strength, reduced permeability and lowest corrosion current

Among the many types of noise observed in seismic land acquisition there is one produced by surface waves called Ground Roll that is a particular type of Rayleigh wave which characteristics are high amplitude, low frequency and low velocity (generating a cone with high dip). Ground roll contaminates the relevant signals and can mask the relevant information, carried by waves scattered in deeper regions of the geological layers. In this thesis, we will present a method that attenuates the ground roll. The technique consists in to decompose the seismogram in a basis of curvelet functions that are localized in time, in frequency, and also, incorporate an angular orientation. These characteristics allow to construct a curvelet filter that takes in consideration the localization of denoise in scales, times and angles in the seismogram. The method was tested with real data and the results were very good

This study aimed to identify physiological markers in superficially scalded 'Rocha' pear (Pyrus communis L 'Rocha') that would relate to chlorophyll a fluorescence (CF), allowing a non-invasive diagnosis of the disorder. Conditions chosen before shelf life provided two fruit groups with different developing patterns and severity of superficial scald: T fruit fully developed the disorder in storage, while C fruit developed it progressively throughout shelf life. Principal component analysis (PCA) of all the measured variables, and simple linear correlations among several major parameters and scald index (SI)/shelf life showed that scald and ripening/aging were concurring processes, and that it was not possible to isolate a particular variable that could deliver a direct non-invasive diagnosis of the disorder. For both fruit groups the SI resulted from the balance between the reducing power (OD200) and the content of conjugated trienols (CTos) and alpha-farnesene (alpha-Farn) in the fruit peel. At OD200 > 150 there was a linear relationship between CTos and OD200, suggesting that the level of antioxidants was self-adjusted in order to compensate the CTos level. However, at OD200 < 150 this relationship disappeared. A consistent linear relationship between dos and alpha-Farn existed throughout shelf life in both fruit groups, contrarily to the early storage stage, when those compounds do not relate linearly. The CF variables F-0, F-v/F-m, and the colorimetric variables, L* and h degrees were used in multi-linear regressions with other physiological variables. The regressions were made on one of the fruit groups and validated through the other. Reliable regressions to alpha-Farn and CTos were obtained (R approximate to 0.6; rmsec approximate to rmsep). Our results suggest that a model based on CF and colorimetric parameters could be used to diagnose non-invasively both the contents and the relationship between alpha-Farn and CTos and hence the stage of scald development.

There is controversy regarding the description of the different regions of the face of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) and its relationship with the superficial mimetic muscles. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of the platysma muscle and the SMAS in human specimens at 8–17 weeks of development using an optical microscope. Furthermore, we propose to study the relationship of the anlage of the SMAS and the neighbouring superficial mimetic muscles. The facial musculature derives from the mesenchyme of the second arch and migrates towards the different regions of the face while forming premuscular laminae. During the 8th week of development, the cervical, infraorbital, mandibular, and temporal laminae are observed to be on the same plane. The platysma muscle derives from the cervical lamina and its mandibular extension enclosing the lower part of the parotid region and the cheek, while the SMAS derives from the upper region. During the period of development analyzed in this study, we have observed no continuity between the anlage of the SMAS and that of the superficial layer of the temporal fascia and the zygomaticus major muscle. Nor have we observed any structure similar to the SMAS in the labial region.

El margen submarino del norte de La Española registra el proceso de colisión activa entre los Bancos de las Bahamas y el arco isla. Esta colisión ha producido numerosos terremotos causando cuantiosos daños en la costa norte de la isla. La campaña NORCARIBE (2013) combinó la adquisición sistemática de datos geofísicos de todo el margen subductivo, especialmente en la zona de República Dominicana, proporcionando una información continua y de alta resolución. Esta información ha permitido estudiar con detalle la variación transversal y longitudinal del margen subductivo caracterizado por la Fosa de la Española (FE) y el Cinturón Deformado Septentrional (CDS). Este margen compresivo presenta una estructura imbricada con vergencia hacia el norte y segmentada por zonas de transferencia limitando la longitud máxima de las fallas inversas. Existen numerosas evidencias de deformación activa que deben ser consideradas en futuros estudios sobre la evaluación de la peligrosidad sísmica y tsunamigénica en la región, así como para la evaluación de recursos marinos y la ordenación del territorio de la República Dominicana.

Sendo o material de construção mais utilizado atualmente, o betão tem vindo a ser sucessivamente melhorado de modo a responder às crescentes exigências técnicas, estéticas, funcionais e ambientais impostas pelos projetistas no que toca à sua utilização. De entre estas exigências destaca-se a utilização de paramentos com elevado desempenho a nível estético de modo a corresponderem aos objetivos idealizados pela arquitetura. Desta forma, têm vindo a ser cada vez mais desenvolvidos os betões com elevado desempenho a nível arquitetónico, onde se englobam os betões à vista quer nas suas cores usuais – cinzento e branco - como os betões coloridos. A aplicação de betão à vista requer um grande conhecimento do material e do seu comportamento bem como das técnicas de fabrico e aplicação. Desta forma, e de modo a que se consiga um resultado final com elevada qualidade em termos visuais será necessária uma grande dose de cuidados durante todas as fases do processo construtivo. Nos últimos anos, as associações de fabricantes de betão e/ou de cofragem, têm tido um papel importante na definição de tópicos relacionados com o acabamento do betão à vista e realizaram um esforço para documentar e estabelecer critérios de classificação superficial do betão. Este artigo apresenta uma revisão dos sistemas de classificação da qualidade superficial do betão à vista

Nos últimos anos um grande número de estudos utilizando a análise de imagens termográficas de animais na faixa do infravermelho vem sendo realizado. Além dos avanços tecnológicos que tornaram os sensores mais acessíveis, a preocupação com o bem estar e ambiência das instalações animais tem fomentado a utilização desse método não invasivo e de fácil execução. Neste trabalho foram utilizados 20 bovinos das raças Nelore e Pantaneiro. Após tricotomia de uma área sobre o músculo Longissimus dorsi próximo da 13ª costela, seguida de repouso por 24 horas, os animais foram avaliados por três dias consecutivos, seis vezes por dia. Foram aferidas as temperaturas em áreas com e sem pelos com uso de câmera termográfica. O experimento foi realizado em um Delineamento Inteiramente Casualizado (DIC), considerando o efeito de raça. As variáveis temperatura sem pelo (TSP) e a diferença de temperatura entre áreas com e sem pelo (DIF) não apresentaram efeito significativo para raça. Por outro lado, para a temperatura em áreas com pelos(TCP) o efeito de raça foi significativo, com os pantaneiros apresentando as maiores médias. Animais de ambas as raças encontravam-se em condições de conforto térmico durante o experimento. Os resultados mostram a necessidade de se olhar com cautela para trabalhos envolvendo imagens termográficas capturadas em superfícies recobertas por pelos em animais. Como as avaliações foram feitas na sombra e só houve diferença significativa entre áreas com pelos, é possível que as temperaturas registradas com termografia infra vermelha na superfície da pelagem dos animais representem, pelo menos em parte, características termofísicas dos pelos que as compõem (como a capacidade térmica, por exemplo), sendo tais temperaturas pouco representativas para a superfície do corpo dos indivíduos propriamente, como é comum se considerar.

Este trabajo es el resultado del análisis de la información existente, registrada por el OVSICORI-UNA para la región del Valle Central de Costa Rica (Hoja San José, escala 1:200.000).  Históricamente el Valle Central ha sufrido por la acción de varios terremotos.  Entre los más dañinos podemos citar el de Cartago de 1841, el de Fraijanes de 1888, el de Cartago de 1910, el de Sarchí de 1912, el de Patillos de 1952 y el de los del Bajos del Toro en 1955.  Esta actividad asociada a fallas de carácter superficial (z 15 km) y con magnitudes moderadas mb 6.5, muy probablemente se volverá a presentar en el futuro, en igual forma en que se han visto afectada la ciudad de San Salvador en la hermana república de El Salvador.  Es, por lo tanto, de vital importancia investigar conocer y evaluar la existencia de las fallas que han ocasionado dichos terremotos.

By presenting the results of a content analysis of Australian undergraduate legal education, this paper examines the extent to which issues of race, ethnicity, discrimination, and multiculturalism feature within this component of the moral, ethical, and professional development of legal professionals. It will demonstrate that instead of encouraging a deep, critical and contextual understanding of such issues, legal education provides a relatively superficial one, which has important implications for the role that legal professionals play in overcoming injustices such as institutional racism, and the kinds of social reform that they are likely to undertake.

Purpose The aim of this work is to develop a more complete understanding of the in vivo histology of the human palpebral conjunctiva and tarsal plate. Methods. The upper eyelids of 11 healthy human volunteer subjects were everted, and laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to examine the various tissue layers of the palpebral conjunctiva and tarsal plate. Results The superficial and basal epithelial layers are composed of cells with gray cytoplasm and thick, light gray borders.Nuclei can not be seen. The stroma has a varied appearance; fibrous tissue is sometimes observed, interspersed with dark,amorphous lacunae, and crevases. Numerous single white or gray cells populate this tissue, and fine blood vessels are seen traversing the field. Occasional conjunctival microcysts and Langerhans cells are observed. The tarsal plate is dark and amorphous, and meibomian gland acini with convoluted borders are clearly observed. Acini are composed of an outer lining of large cuboidal cells, and differentiated secretory cells can be seen within the acini lumen. Conclusions Laser scanning confocal microscopy is capable of studying the human palpebral conjunctiva, tarsal plate, and acini of meibomian glands in vivo. The observations presented here may provide useful supplementary anatomical information relating to the morphology of this tissue.
