Augusto Tavares de Lyra em vários tons

El presente estudio tiene por objetivo, analizar las prácticas políticas-intelectuales de Augusto Tavares de Lyra, perteneciente a una elite que gobernó el estado de Río Grande del Norte de Brasil, durante los dos primeros decenios de la República Vieja , de 1889 a 1918. El recorte temporal considerado tiene inicio al final del siglo XIX, en 1872, año de su nacimiento, hasta el año 1958, cuando falleció a los casi ochenta y seis años de vida. Mientras tanto, analizaremos vivencias y prácticas de Tavares de Lyra como hombre público a partir de los documentos investigados. Utilizamos como soporte principal artículos, reportajes, discursos y libros escritos por sus contemporáneos. Observamos que las fuentes documentales, tales como mensajes, leyes y decretos gubernamentales, bibliografías sobre el período evocado y el archivo del intelectual Tavares de Lyra. Entendemos que, aunque fuera un político de prácticas liberales y empeñado en reformar el sistema educativo brasilero, él fue fruto de un instante de la política nacional, que privilegió pocos núcleos familiares en detrimento de la democracia descrita solamente en la ley, y que por eso, poseía comprometimiento con las prácticas de la Primera República. Su legado reside en una obra literaria ligada directamente al Instituto Histórico y Geográfico Brasileiro y a los estudios realizados, en cuanto jurista y economista, conocedor de los problemas que afligían Brasil en esa época

Ultrastructural studies of the mandibular glands of the minima, media and soldier ants of Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Forel 1908)

The mandibular glands of Hymenoptera are structures associated with the mandibles and constitute part of the salivary glands system. Histological studies in workers of Atta sexdens rubropilosa revealed that this gland contains two portions: a secretory and a storage portion or reservoir. Both portions are connected by means of canaliculi. The object of the present work was the study of the ultratructure of the mandibular glands of minima, media and soldier ant of A. s. rubropilosa by TEM techniques. The glands, in the three castes studied, possess a reservoir, constituted by a simple pavementous epithelium surrounded by the cuticular intima and the secretory portion is constituted by cells of rounded shape. The secretory cells, mainly of minima and soldier, were rich in smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The media worker and soldier presented a large number of mitochondria, of varying shape. Well-developed Golgi complexes were also present in the soldiers. The secretory cells in minima, media and soldier were provided with collecting intracellular canaliculi, which were linked to the reservoir through the extracellular portion. The cytoplasm of the canaliculi-forming cell was poor in organelles. In the individuals of the three castes of A. s. rubropilosa, the presence of lipid secretion granules suggested, beyond the other functions, also a possible pheromonal action. The different roles executed by the different insect castes are directly dependent on the glandular products and, consequently, on the secretory cellular characteristics. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Massless DKP field in a Lyra manifold

Massless scalar and vector fields are coupled to the Lyra geometry by means of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) theory. Using the Schwinger variational principle, the equations of motion, conservation laws and gauge symmetry are implemented. We find that the scalar field couples to the anholonomic part of the torsion tensor, and the gauge symmetry of the electromagnetic field does not break by the coupling with torsion.

Spinorial field and Lyra geometry

The Dirac field is studied in a Lyra space-time background by means of the classical Schwinger Variational Principle. We obtain the equations of motion, establish the conservation laws, and get a scale relation relating the energy-momentum and spin tensors. Such scale relation is an intrinsic property for matter fields in Lyra background.

REDUCAO DA CONCENTRACAO ALVEOLAR MINIMA DO ISOFLURANO E DO SEVOFLURANO PELO SUFENTANIL

Background and Objectives - Inhalational anesthetics have a mild analgesic effect. The reduction of alveolar concentration (MAC) of potent volatile anesthesics by increasing plasma concentrations of opioids is desired in inhalational anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of sufentanil in reducing sevoflurane and isoflurane MAC. Methods - Thirty eight adult patients of both genders, physical status ASA I or II, submitted to major abdominal procedures were randomly allocated into two groups. Group I (n = 24) received inahalational anesthesia with sevoflurane and Group II (n = 14) received inhalational anesthesia with isoflurane, both diluted in a mixture of N2O (1 liter) and O2 (0.5 liter). A semi-closed system with CO2 absorber and partial reinhalation was used. Ventilation was mechanically controlled. Sufentanil infusion was administered aiming at obtaining 0.5 ng.ml-1 of plasma concentration. Sufentanil plasma concentration was previously calculated by a computer software. End-tidal concentrations were obtained through a gas analyzer and measured at 15 minutes (M1), 30 minutes (M2), 60 minutes (M3), 90 minutes (M4) and 120 minutes (M5). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and heart rate (RR) were measured during the same periods with the addition of M0 (pre-anesthetic period). Hourly consumption of the inhalational anesthetic agent (IAC), extubation time (ET = time between admission to the recovery room and extubation) and stay in the post anesthesia recovery room (PA-RR) were also measured. Results - Type and duration of surgeries were similar for both groups. There were no statistically significant differences in MAC, SBP, DBP, RR, IAC, TE and PA-RR between groups. Systolic blood pressure in group I (sevoflurane) showed differences among periods F = 3.82 p < O.05; (M2 = M3)(M4 = M5) and M1 had a intermediate value. MAC in group I showed differences among periods F = 9.0 p < 0.05; M1 < M3. MAC in group II also showed differences among periods F = 13.03 p < O.05; M1 < (M2,M3,M4,M5). Conclusions - Both groups had similar behavior when associated to sufentanil in major abdominal surgeries. Group II showed a higher cardiac and circulatory stability.

Multiple minima hypersurfaces procedures for biomimetic ligands screening

In this work the interaction of the pesticide carbaryl with two groups of biomimetic ligands, peptides and MIPs was screened by multiple minima hypersurfaces (MMH) procedures, through the AM1 semiempirical method. Data related to the properties of the molecular association of the complex biomimetic ligand-pesticide were obtained and compared with another molecular modeling algorithm named Leapfrog, as included in the Sybyl software package, and experimental results from the literature, remarking good correlation between them. All important MMH program parameters (cells number, box size, conformers) were studied and optimized with the aim of getting the minimum computation time without losing the correlation with experimental data. The data demonstrated that MMH approach can be used as a fast biomimetic ligand screening tool for MIPs. In the case of peptides the computation time was not comparable with the molecular dynamics methods conventionally used for this approach. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

La struttura della double bubble di area minima

In questa tesi viene presentata una scelta dei passaggi fondamentali per arrivare alla dimostrazione della congettura della double bubble, dovuta ad Hutchings, Morgan, Ritoré e Ros. Questa dimostrazione assicura l'esistenza e l'unicità della superficie minima che permette di racchiudere due volumi nello spazio reale tridimensionale; si tratta quindi di un caso particolare del problema delle bolle di sapone, che ha richiesto la messa a punto di strumenti sofisticati di teoria geometrica della misura, calcolo delle variazioni ed equazioni differenziali non lineari.

Determinazione sperimentale della minima attivita rivelabile dei calibratori di attivita dei radionuclidi

I calibratori di attività dei radionuclidi sono strumenti fondamentali per la pratica diagnostica e terapeutica in Medicina Nucleare. Il loro ruolo principale è quello di quantificare accuratamente l’attività dei radiofarmaci somministrata ai pazienti, vengono pertanto progettati per avere una accuratezza di misura ottimale per attività relativamente alte. Lo scopo di questo studio è stato quello di determinare il livello di minima attività rivelabile (o Minimum Detectable Activity, MDA) di diversi modelli di calibratori di attività, al fine di estendere l’utilizzo di questi strumenti ad altre applicazioni. E’ stata quindi eseguita un’estesa campagna di misure sperimentali sui principali modelli di calibratori commercialmente distribuiti. Le modalità di misura della MDA sviluppate sono basate su un adattamento delle tecniche di riferimento per altri tipi di strumenti; tali tecniche, non solo rispondono all’obiettivo immediato, ma hanno permesso di dimostrare che è possibile una determinazione generalizzata della MDA di questa classe di apparecchiature. I risultati che verranno presentati sono stati ottenuti con una metodologia indipendente dal tipo di apparecchiatura e sono basati su misurazioni che possono essere replicate in ogni laboratorio.
