C-13-NMR, H-1-NMR, and FT-Raman study of radiation-induced modifications in radiation dosimetry polymer gels

H-1- and C-13-NMR spectroscopy and FT-Raman spectroscopy are used to investigate the properties of a polymer gel dosimeter post-irradiation. The polymer gel (PACT) is composed of acrylamide, N,N'-methylene-bisacrylamide, gelatin, and water. The formation of a polyacrylamide network within the gelatin matrix follows a dose dependence nonlinearly correlated to the disappearance of the double bonds from the dissolved monomers within the absorbed dose range of 0-50 Gy. The signal from the gelatin remains constant with irradiation. We show that the NMR spin-spin relaxation times (T-2) of PAGs irradiated to up to 50 Gy measured in a NMR spectrometer and a clinical magnetic resonance imaging scanner can be modeled using the spectroscopic intensity of the growing polymer network. More specifically, we show that the nonlinear T-2 dependence against dose can be understood in terms of the fraction of protons in three different proton pools. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A anemia nutricional entre gestantes atendidas em centros de saúde do Estado de São Paulo (Brasil)

Com o objetivo de estimar a prevalência de anemia entre a clientela do Programa de Atendimento à Gestante (PAG), da Secretaria de Saúde do Estado de São Paulo (Brasil), e de analisar o item referente à suplementação de ferro, do mesmo programa, estudaram-se os prontuários de 4.539 gestantes, matriculadas nos PAGs de 15 Centros de Saúde (CS), escolhidos através de amostragem, probabilística. Observou-se anemia (hemoglobina - Hb - < 11,0 g/dl) em 35,1% das gestantes, valor que sugere constituir essa deficiência problema de saúde pública em relação à clientela dos Centros de Saúde estudados. É destacada a necessidade de incluir, na rotina do PAG, a medida da concentração de Hb e de referi-la conjuntamente com a idade gestacional propiciando conhecer a necessidade de ferro suplementar específica de cada grávida, aumentando, com isso, a eficiência do programa de combate à anemia e, conseqüentemente, a do PAG. Sugere-se também que a avaliação da suplementação seja feita em Centros de Saúde que tenham facilidade para tal.

The funerary topography of the Via XVII necropolis in late antiquity (Braga)

The present paper aims to analyse archaeological evidence associated with the Roman necropolis of Via XVII, in Braga, with a particular emphasis towards its late antiquity occupation and related with data emerging from the excavations conducted across two main different areas. We intend to reflect over the specific features of the fourth-seventh century’s funerary space of one of the most important necropolis of Bracara Augusta.

The housing evolution of Braga between late antiquity and the early meddle ages

The study of the domestic architecture evolution in Late Antiquity performs a fairly recent research subject within Hispanic historiography and represents one of the most significant results emerging from urban archaeology that has uncovered a relevant and innovative group of data related with the occupation of cities with Roman foundation between the fourth and eight centuries. In Braga the excavations conducted since 1976 identified remains of several domus that have been the object of systematic research studies in the past decade.2 In reality, the vast majority of the city Late Antiquity occupation continued to privilege areas where the previous domus of High Empire foundation were located. They were object of important reforms between the late third/early fourth centuries in a time when Bracara Augusta was elevated to capital of the new Callaecia province and endured an important urban renovation.

Characterization of late antique and early medieval pottery production of the city of Braga and its territory

The fundamental goal we set ourselves when developing this study is to try to characterize, both technically and formally, ceramics made in the city of Braga and its territory from the initial moments of the Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages. Thus, we will focus on analyzing some own productions that appear attached to the phases of late antique occupation —ceramics of red engobes and late gray—, as well as in the early medieval containers identified in different archaeological interventions practiced in the Braga environment. Concretely, we will analyze the material from various excavations conducted recently at the Theatre in the solar number 20/28 and 36/56 from the Afonso Henriques Street and the former District Hostel as well as the church of São Martinho de Dume.

When does universal peace prevail? Secession and group formation in rent seeking contests and policy conflicts

This paper analyzes secession and group formation in a general model of contest inspired by Esteban and Ray (1999). This model encompasses as special cases rent seeking contests and policy conflicts, where agents lobby over the choice of a policy in a one-dimensional policy space. We show that in both models the grand coalition is the efficient coalition structure and agents are always better off in the grand coalition than in a symmetric coalition structure. Individual agents (in the rent seeking contest) and extremists (in the policy conflict) only have an incentive to secede when they anticipate that their secession will not be followed by additional secessions. Incentives to secede are lower when agents cooperate inside groups. The grand coalition emerges as the unique subgame perfect equilibrium outcome of a sequential game of coalition formation in rent seeking contests.
