The aerial activities, leaps and slaps with parts of the body in the surface of water, are part of the behavioral repertoire of several species of cetaceans. Among them, the spinner dolphin, Stenella longirostris, shows greater diversity in such behavior. For the spinner dolphins of Fernando de Noronha, the aerial activities are classified as vertical and horizontal, with eight patterns to be noted (tail slap, head slap, motor boating, partial leap, leap, spin, tail over head and tail over head with spin) discriminated between these categories. Such behaviors can be used as a parameter to identify behavioral changes, as well as patterns of daily and seasonal activity. In this manner, this study aimed to characterize the frequency in performance of such activity while the dolphins were within the Dolphin Bay of Fernando de Noronha, and verify possible daily and seasonal hourly fluctuations on such behaviors. The data analyzed in this study was acquired during the period of January 2006 through December 2010, totaling 1431 days of observation from land set point, with 113027 aerial activities registered, daily average of 72,27 (SD=96,10). During 5478h and 54 min of observation the horizontal aerial activity was the most observed and rotation was the most executed pattern. Greater frequency of execution of aerial activity was observed in adults, but for both adults and calves, was observed a predominance of horizontal activities, with spin being the pattern most executed. Positive correlation was observed between the amount of aerial activity performed and the number of animals inside the Bay. Hourly daily fluctuation was observed in the expression of aerial activities by spinner dolphins, and was observed a peak of activity between 8h and 8h59min for the overall frequency relative of aerial activities, as well as for the categories and patterns. Seasonal differences were observed between the rainy and dry season with the greater amount of activity being observed during the rainy season. Nevertheless, the same profile of frequency relative of aerial activity was observed in both seasons with the peak amount being during the same period. When discriminated the aerial activities in categories and patterns, for both seasons, there was a similar pattern of hourly fluctuation; for most of parameters, higher frequency relative of execution of aerial activity remain between 8h and 8h59min

The aim of this study was to investigate the daily and annual variation in frequency and in activity of an estuarine dolphin population, Sotalia guianensis, in Brazilian northeastern. Thus we estimated the daily variation and seasonality in frequency of adult and immature and in behavior of socialization, aerial activity, foraging of a boto equatorial population in the Curral inlet (6º13 00 S; 35º3 36 W). We detect some variation. Thus we associate the daily variation with daily period, tide fluctuation and annual season. And the seasonality variation we associate with the fotoperíodo and precipitation variation. From October 1999 to September 2003, through collect four times at month, we made instantaneous record at each five minute in six hours of survey. The surveys hours were ranged into light time of 24 hours, that is, between 06:00 and 17:00 o clock. These observations were developed simultaneous for two observers in a land-based survey at coastline cliff top of which observer have a fully visualization of whole inlet. We found that animals were more active and frequent during the morning. They were more active during low tide than high tide. However they did not show association with tide. We found yet that in a period from June to November (winter-spring) there was the highest socialization, aerial activity and foraging frequency. However adult and immature individual number did not have significance variation along the year. The larger concentration of this behaviors were not associate with photoperiod neither precipitation in the region. These results showed the existence of behavioral daily variation and seasonality in a species that live in equatorial region

The marine tucuxi, Sotalia guianensis, is one of the smallest known cetaceans, has coastal habits, and occurs from Hondures to Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil. The objective of this dissertation was to describe diving behavior of the marine tucuxi in three age classes and to analyze the cardiac capacity to dive through the examination of hearts of stranded specimens. Observations were made from October 2004 to November 2005 from a vantage point, in Curral Bay at Pipa beach-RN. We used Ad Libitum sampling and All occurrences to record the behaviors. The diving was characterized by the total exposition of the tail fluke for a few seconds, in 90° or 45° angles. Were recorded 131 dives in three behavioral contexts: foraging, traveling and socialization. The difference between juveniles and adults in dive time and fluke out at 45° or 90° to search and/or capture prey is probably influenced by the strategy used and ability to capture the prey. The frequency of fluke out at 90° for foraging in adults may be related to increased physiological efficiency of adults in comparison to juveniles. However, in the context of travel and socialization the dive time and fluke out were independent between the age classes. Dive in calves were frequent during socialization (play behavior) and traveling. This, associated with synchronic calve-adult diving suggests that a relationship of these behaviors and the acquisition of experience and foraging skills. As observed in other cetaceans, the heart (n=12) of the estuarine dolphin is broad and presents long ventricles which form a round apex. The right ventricle is long and narrow. The degree of dilatation of the aortic bulb may support the heart during diastole. The characteristic morphology of the heart and short dive duration < 2 min and depth ranged from 10m in the estuarine dolphin, can be likely at physiological adaptation for diving, typical de dolphins with coastal habits. The limitation of diving time in this specie may be influenced by anatomical and physiological restrictions

A grande importância dos recursos pesqueiros para a Amazônia, aliada à necessidade de ampliar os conhecimentos básicos sobre identificação das larvas de peixes (coletadas em ambiente natural), justifica o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, que tem como objetivo expandir as informações sobre o ictioplâncton, relacionando as com as tendências de variação diária e entre marés, do complexo estuarino do rio Amazonas – PA. As coletas foram realizadas durante o período diurno e noturno, no segundo semestre de 2007, pelo Projeto PIATAM mar II, sob ponto fixo na subárea 1 (estuário do rio Paracauari) e na subárea 2 (baía do Guajará) nas marés de sizígia e quadratura, em arrastos horizontais na sub-superfície da coluna d‟água com rede de plâncton cônico-cilíndrica e malha de 300μm. As amostras foram acondicionadas em recipientes contendo formalina a 4%. Os fatores hidrológicos foram obtidos in situ pelo Grupo de Oceanografia Química do Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi. As amostras foram triadas e identificadas por meio de características morfológicas, morfométricas e merísticas, baseando-se na técnica de sequência regressiva de desenvolvimento e em bibliografias especializadas. As principais estruturas e características das fases iniciais dos peixes foram descritas e ilustradas, facilitando assim futuros estudos ictioplanctônicos para região. A temperatura superficial da água, potencial hidrogeniônico e oxigênio dissolvido não apresentaram diferenças significativas nas áreas estudadas. Os valores de salinidade não apresentaram diferença significativa entre as estações de coleta e marés, registrando apenas variação horizontal com aumento gradativo em direção à foz com valores máximos (12) e mínimos (0) para as subárea 1 e subárea 2, respectivamente. As maiores densidades de ovos foram registradas na subárea 1, em relação à subárea 2, com as maiores densidades para o período diurno (163,29 ovos/100m³) na subárea 1 e noturno (19,70 ovos/100m³) na subárea 2. As larvas foram distribuídas em 22 taxa representados por 13 famílias e 21 espécies, sendo os taxa dominantes: P. flavipinnis (46,29%), R. amazonica (19,75%), Engraulidae (10,70%), P. squamosissimus (7,55%), A. lineatus (5,19%), O. saurus (3,30%) e Gobiosoma sp. (2,15%), com elevada participação relativa dos Clupeiformes (76,75%). Quanto aos estágios de desenvolvimento, foi observada maior abundância de larvas em pré-flexão nas subáreas 1 e 2, sendo o estágio larval vitelino e pós-flexão os menos representativos. O período noturno apresentou as maiores densidade de larvas e número de taxa, evidenciando uma possível migração nictemeral do ictioplâncton. Apenas M. furnieri apresentou abundância significativamente maior nas amostras diurnas. A grande maioria dos taxa não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre as abundâncias diurnas e noturnas. Logo, a densidade de larvas e o número de taxa diferem entre o período diurno e noturno e entre maré. Portanto, as características morfológicas descritas no presente trabalho permitem uma adequada identificação das larvas, ampliando o conhecimento biológico das espécies estuarinas do litoral paraense, uma vez que as informações sobre larvas de peixes ainda são escassas, fazendo-se necessária uma intensificação nas pesquisas. Além disso, a compreensão da ecologia dos organismos, sobre tudo daqueles que apresentam seu ciclo de vida associado aos estuários, e as variações no transporte das larvas entre os períodos do dia e da noite e entre as marés são questões fundamentais para aprimorar o manejo e a conservação destes recursos renováveis.

Ainda que pouco conhecida, a história do lançamento do dardo revela ser esta uma prova muito antiga, existente desde os Jogos Olímpicos da Grécia Antiga. Com base nisso, o objetivo desta pesquisa consistiu em resgatar a história dessa prova do atletismo, observando seu desenvolvimento ao longo dos anos, sobretudo no que diz respeito às alterações em suas regras, em seus implementos, em seus resultados, entre outras coisas. Com base em livros, documentos, registros de competições e fotografias de diferentes épocas, essa pesquisa histórico-bibliográfica procurou coletar o maior número de dados que nos permitem compreender e analisar o desenvolvimento da prova do lançamento do dardo até os dias atuais. Entre outras coisas, os resultados evidenciam o surgimento do lançamento do dardo a partir da necessidade de sobrevivência do homem, sendo utilizado, sobretudo, em suas atividades de caça e guerra, no período da Pré-História. No período da Antiguidade Clássica, há registros que comprovam a utilização do dardo por infantarias e cavalarias, na Grécia Antiga, no Império Romano e pelos Lusitanos. Entretanto, além das guerras, o dardo era também utilizado nesse período em atividades esportivas. O lançamento do dardo era praticado de duas diferentes formas nessa época: o lançamento do dardo em um alvo prédeterminado (traçava-se um círculo com a distância desejada e o atleta deveria fazer o dardo cair dentro dele). Esse tipo de lançamento ocorria a partir de um ponto fixo que, muito provavelmente, era a linha de partida do estádio (stádion), chamada de “balbís” - e o lançamento do dardo em um alvo predeterminado (que acontecia geralmente em cima do cavalo, e o cavaleiro deveria...

The objective of this project was to monitor the satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) from a fixed point on Earth and to verify the rate of recurrence respect to their rotation and displacement. A topographic GPS signal receiver connected to a personal computer was used to recorded, for five days, the displacement of the satellites. This work was based on the fact that many literature references state that satellites complete one orbit around the Earth every 12 hours, then, it is assumed that the satellite would be seen twice in a day from the same fixed point on Earth.Although, this does not occur, as thise time interval correspond to 12 hours sidereal time and not solar time. In addition, this study was carried out in order toconfirm and update the information related to the number of satellites in operation today, found to be 31. In that sense, some references concerning the space segment of this system were defined in details.

We investigate in this work the behaviour of the decay to the fixed points, in particular along the bifurcations, for a family of one-dimensional logistic-like discrete mappings. We start with the logistic map focusing in the transcritical bifurcation. Next we investigate the convergence to the stationary state at the cubic map. At the end we generalise the procedure for a mapping of the logistic-like type. Near the fixed point, the dynamical variable varies slowly. This property allows us to approximate/rewrite the equation of differences, hence natural from discrete mappings, into an ordinary differential equation. We then solve such equation which furnishes the evolution towards the stationary state. Our numerical simulations confirm the theoretical results validating the above mentioned approximation
