Memória do município de Cametá: o contar e recontar dos “notáveis” Alberto Moia Mocbel e Victor Tamer

Este trabalho é fruto da pesquisa de Mestrado intitulada Memória do município de Cametá: o contar e recontar dos “notáveis” Alberto Moia Mocbel e Victor Tamer, que tem como objetivo analisar narrativas que tematizam a memória histórica e temporal do município de Cametá, mediante a fatos contados e recontados pelos autores cametaenses Victor Tamer e Alberto Moia Mocbel. A análise das narrativas Visagens e Assombrações da infância I e O homem estrela foram escolhidas por se considerar que estas se encaixam no perfil do tema escolhido. A seleção também se justifica pelo fato das narrativas se relacionarem ao universo cotidiano que matiza os acontecimentos históricos da Cametá de outrora. Nesse sentido, o texto contempla referenciais teóricos voltados para as produções literárias de escritores locais, pesquisadores e estudiosos do cânone literário em geral. Desse modo, apresentaremos no texto alguns levantamentos históricos sob a secular cidade, objetivando contemplar também a memória testemunhal. Para tal fundamentação, se destaca alguns autores locais como Ignácio Moura (1910), Salomão Lâredo (2013), Danúzio Pompeu (2013), Doriedson Rodrigues (2003); relatos da entrevista concedida pelo escritor Alberto Mocbel no mês de setembro do ano de 2013 em Cametá e outras pesquisas documentais realizadas no Museu Histórico de Cametá e na Academia Paraense de Letras, onde também coletamos informações referentes ao antigo Sistema de Iluminação Pública. Disponibiliza-se fotografias com o intuito de elucidar e comprovar a veracidade de fatos apresentados e descritos nas obras de Mocbel (2009) e Tamer (2012). Frente aos estudos relacionados à categoria memória, recorremos às teorias de autores como Pierre Nora (1993), Jacques Le Goff (2003), Ecléa Bosi (1994), Jerusa Pires (2003), Aleida Assmann (2011), Walter Benjamin (1994) e Maurice Halbwachs (2006). Autores como Homi Bhabha (1998) e outros que trabalham com as categorias da identidade cultural, conceito este que também subsidiou o aporte teórico deste trabalho e, portanto, não menos importantes para as discussões que serão suscitadas.

Relações entre raios e chuvas na Amazônia Oriental

O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a relação entre descargas elétricas, associadas à precipitação dentro de áreas selecionadas no leste da Amazônia no período de setembro de 2008 a dezembro de 2010. Os estudos foram realizados dentro de um raio de 100 km centralizados em pluviômetros instalados das localidades de Belém, Caxiuanã e Santarém. Essas áreas foram escolhidas por encontrarem-se aproximadamente na mesma latitude, e vão se distanciando do Oceano Atlântico, buscando observar a sazonalidade dos sistemas precipitantes causadores de raios e sua penetração no continente, observando as características climatológica distintas de cada área. Os dados de chuvas foram obtidos através do banco de dados da ANA, RPCH, INMET e através do Projeto LBA. Os sistemas meteorológicos de grande escala acompanhados de sistemas de escala menores, parecem atuar primeiramente em Belém e vão adentrando o continente atingindo as outras áreas de estudo. Em Belém, também foram observadas as maiores ocorrências de raios comparados com Caxiuanã e Santarém, sendo que nessas localidades, os raios antecedem as chuvas em quase todas as observações. Foram observadas as defasagens dos máximos de ocorrências de raios e chuvas de aproximadamente dois meses acompanhando principalmente o sentido norte sul de deslocamento da ZCIT e seu acoplamento com outros sistemas de escala local ou de meso escala. Foi feito um estudo de caso em Belém e Santarém onde observou-se que a ZCIT não segue o mesmo padrão de deslocamento para as duas localidades , ou seja, ela atinge primeiramente Belém e aproximadamente três dias depois o sistema atingiu a cidade de Santarém. Mesmo com essa defasagem de tempo foi visto que nas duas localidades as ocorrências de raios antecederam as chuvas. Também foi realizado um estudo pioneiro dentro das bacias do Tocantins e Xingu sobre a relação entre raios e chuva, na tentativa de se desenvolver uma alternativa de método auxiliar para prognostico dos períodos de cheias e secas dentro dessas bacias através das ocorrências de raios sobre essas áreas. Os estudos mais detalhados foram realizados nas áreas a montante das barragens de Tocantins onde se encontra a usina hidroelétrica de Tucuruí, e dentro da área da bacia do Xingu onde está sendo construída a barragem de Belo Monte. Foram utilizados dados de precipitação pluviométrica das bacias do Tocantins e Xingu obtidos através da HIDROWEB-ANA operados pela CPRM dentro de cada área de estudo. Usando filtros de médias móveis foram observados que as melhores correlações entre raios e chuvas, se encontravam dentro da bacia do Tocantins, provavelmente pela influencia da presença da barragem na bacia do Tocantins onde possibilitou respostas positivas entre a relação da cota do rio com os raios. Considerando o fato de que o período de dois anos de dados não possuem peso estatístico suficiente para estabelecer relações definitivas entre raios e precipitação, os resultados apresentados devem ser considerados como preliminares. No entanto essa metodologia pode ser aplicada para subsidiar modelos de estimativas de precipitação em localidades selecionadas e aplicações no modelamento hidrológico de bacias hidrográficas, onde dados pluviométricos ainda são escassos no leste da Amazônia.

Carotenogênese em células de Haematococcus pluvialis induzidas pelos estresses luminoso e nutricional

The objective of this work was to evaluate the responses of Haematococcus pluvialis cells to the carotenogenesis induction process, under light and nutrition stress. Cells were acclimated during 15 days in WC medium, with aeration with synthetic, filtered atmospheric air and flow rate of 100 mL min-1, light intensity of 50 µmol photons m-2 s-1, photoperiod of 12 hours, and temperature of 23ºC. The following two treatments were compared: cultivation under the described conditions, but with increase of light intensity up to 350 µmol photons m-2 s-1 ; and cultivation under the same conditions as the previous treatment, but with aeration containing 4% CO2. The treatments were done in triplicate, during ten days. With the addition of CO2 and the increment in lighting, an increase was observed in the carotenoids/chlorophyll ratio and cell biomass. Cells stopped dividing on the second day of stress, when nitrate became limiting, and significantly increased their biovolume. The excretion of organic carbon and the concentration of astaxanthin increase in response to the addition of CO2. Stress by light intensity combined with CO2 addition optimizes carotenogenesis in H. pluvialis and increases astaxanthin production.

Investigation on combustion derived BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ phosphor powder and its corresponding PVP/BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ nanocomposite

This work focuses on the study of BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+ (BAM:Eu) nanophosphors prepared by a microwave-assisted combustion procedure and more especially on the polymer/BAM:Eu nanocomposite film suitable for optical devices such as solid-state-lighting. Powder presented a specific nanomorphology, highly friable and thus easily ground into fine particles. They were then homogeneously dispersed into a polymer solution (poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) or PVP) to elaborate a polymer phosphor nanocomposite. The structural, morphological and optical features of the nanocomposite film have been studied and compared to those of a pristine PVP film and BAM:Eu powder. All the characterizations (XRD, SEM, SAXS, etc.) proved that the blue phosphor nanoparticles are well incorporated into the polymer nanocomposite film which exhibited the characteristic blue emission of Eu2+ under UV light excitation. Furthermore, the photostability of the polymer/phosphor nanocomposite film has been studied after exposure to accelerated artificial photoageing at wavelengths above 300 nm.

Early light reduction for preventing retinopathy of prematurity in very low birth weight infants

BackgroundRetinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a complex condition of the developing retinal blood vessels and is one of the leading causes of preventable childhood blindness. Several risk factors for ROP have been studied over the past 50 years. Among them, general immaturity (low birth weight and low gestational age) and prolonged oxygen therapy have been consistently related to disease onset. However, it is understood that the progression of the disease is multifactorial and may be associated with others risk factors, such as multiple gestation, apnoea, intracranial haemorrhage, anaemia, sepsis, prolonged mechanical ventilation, multiple transfusions and light exposure. Furthermore, the precise role of these individual factors in the development of the disease has not yet been well established.ObjectivesTo determine whether the reduction of early environmental light exposure reduces the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) or poor ROP outcomes among very low birth weight infants.Search methodsWe searched the following databases: the Cochrane Neonatal Group Specialised Register, CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library), MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, HealthSTAR, Science Citation Index Database, CANCERLIT, the Oxford Database of Perinatal Trials and www.clinicaltrials.gov. We also searched previous reviews including cross-references, abstracts, conference and symposia proceedings, and contacted expert informants. This search was updated in October 2012.Selection criteriaRandomised or quasi-randomised controlled trials that reduced light exposure to premature infants within the first seven days following birth were considered for this review. We also considered cluster-randomised controlled trials.Data collection and analysisData on clinical outcomes including any acute ROP and poor ROP outcome were extracted by both review authors independently and consensus reached. We conducted data analysis according to the standards of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group.Main resultsData from four randomised trials with a total of 897 participants failed to show any reduction in acute ROP or poor ROP outcome with the reduction of ambient light to premature infants' retinas. The overall methodological quality of the included studies was about evenly split between those in which the classification was unclear and those in which the studies were categorised as low risk of bias. There was no report on the secondary outcomes considered in this review: quality of life measures; and time of exposure to oxygen.Authors' conclusionsThe evidence shows that bright light is not the cause of retinopathy of prematurity and that the reduction of exposure of the retinas of premature infants to light has no effect on the incidence of the disease.

MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CP STEEL USED IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

This study aims to characterize the microstructure of the complex phase steel (CP). Using the conventional and colored metallographic analysis with 3% Nital etchant, sodium metabisulfite 10% and LePera. Techniques were applied in this work of optical microscopy, using, besides the lighting in bright field, dark field illumination of the reverse contrast in bright field illumination, the method of polarized light, which generates colorful contrast, providing a complementary identification phases present in the microstructure, and the system by differential interference contrast (DIC). The results obtained by metallography CP indicates that the steel has a microstructure composed of ferrite, retained austenite, bainite and martensite and precipitates arranged in a refined and complex morphology. Besides bright field illumination others' optical microscopy's techniques such as dark field illumination were applied.

Cogeração de energia com motores de combustão interna

The tertiary sector is largely responsible for the growth of electricity consumption in Brazil. The large commercial and public buildings, hypermarkets and shopping centers stand out as major consumers of electricity for lighting, power and thermal energy. Brazil presents significant potential for the deployment of small cogeneration plants, especially in the tertiary sector. Allied to this, the possibility of natural gas supply and the growing demands in favor of maintaining and preserving the environment favor the implementation of cogeneration plants. In this context, this paper presents a technical and economic analysis of installing a cogeneration plant using internal combustion engine with natural gas in a mall

Sistema de iluminação inteligente através de redes de sensores wireless

The objective of this project is to collaborate with the society, working on a subject that is directly linked to issues of sustainability and environmental preservation. For this, a survey is being developed in order to make possible the creation of an intelligent mechanism, with the use of wireless solutions for the control of energy consumption in order to meet the needs of quality of life and reduce the average consumption of electrical energy. An intelligent lighting system can be explained simply, as an interconnected network of lamps in order to meet needs such as light intensity, the location of it, the moment will turn on or turn off the lights, among other possibilities. This network of lamps is controlled by algorithms implemented using microcontrollers, which may or may not have changed its characteristics. This can be automatic (pre-programmed by the administrator) or manual (controlled via a remote control, phones, etc.), and will depend upon the manager himself and also the characteristics imposed on the project. However, it is important to note that after the search is complete, decisions will be consistent with the Brazilian reality, ie, this system can only be feasible if it has all the characteristics described above, but with an affordable price so that people can acquire it

Análise cinemática e dinâmica para conversão de um VW saveiro em veículo elétrico

This work aims to kinematic and dynamic analysis of a VW Saveiro in order to estimate the power requested to the engine with the imposed movement conditions. Thus, the study will be the basis to the specification of the electric engine, on the conversion of the internal combustion vehicle into electric one. First of all, a literature review was done in order to understand the state of the art for this issue and come up with the technical features of the vehicle in question. The next step is the identification and calculation of all forces acting on the prototype in motion, from 0 to 120 km/h, in intervals of 10 km/h, under the defined conditions of path and time. Then, were determined the values of the torque and rotation of the components from the transmission system, as well as the engine power, for each speed range. The results show the most influential forces on the resistence of the movement in each speed range, and the behavior of the torque curve is verified. Finally, it was also analyzed the implementation of pinwheels on the frontal area of the vehicle, in order to convert wind energy into electrical energy to supply the lighting subsystem of the vehicle and the proposal was validated. Limiting the maximum speed of the vehicle to 90 km/h, it was finally concluded that the power of the electric engine should be 40 HP
