Análise da estabilidade dimensional e resistência mecânica em bambu Guadua angustifolia pós-processos de tratamentos químicos e térmico

Nowadays, bamboo is being studied because of their strength properties according with their specific mass and speed of growth, which makes it an important alternative as a new resource that will help reduce pressure on forests and helpping them favoring the minimization of uncontrolled deforestation in many regions of Brazil. This study aimed, in general, to analyze physical and mechanical properties of the material with the divulgation of its potential for industrial application. To do so, in this research were determined in relation to the physical properties, moisture content, dimensional stability and the apparent densities and the mechanics and basic, just a tension parallel to grain, in order to observe the interference of various kinds of treatments (chemical, thermal and natural) on the strength and modulus of elasticity in this request. The species used was the Guadua angustifolia, a species native of Brazil. All tests were performed at Universidade Estadual Paulista - Campus Experimental Itapeva in the laboratory of Materials Properties. The methodology used for testing of moisture, density and tension parallel to grain were based on NBR 7190/1997 for the wood, and dimensional stability tests were based on much the same as in COPANT 462/1972 (South American) . The preservative treatments conducted followed the recommendation of each manufacturer. The values obtained in tests of physical properties were satisfactory especially with respect to density and dimensional stability analyzed by the coefficient of anisotropy, showed that, compared to wood, excellent quality for the shrinkage test, obtaining a coefficient of 1.2. With respect to parallel tensile tests to fibre results showed, in most cases, that test specimens with the presence of us have lower values of resistance and modulus of elasticity when compared with those without us. In the treatment of thermal-treatment there was an apparent treatment there was an apparent increase in...

Desenvolvimento e validação do método de difusão em ágar para quantificação de fluconazol cápsulas e aplicação em estudos de estabilidade

O fluconazol é um antifúngico de amplo espectro indicado para o tratamento de infecções fúngicas sistêmicas e superficiais. A determinação da potência dos antimicrobianos é importante no controle e na garantia da qualidade das preparações farmacêuticas e faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de procedimentos práticos e econômicos que possam ser validados e aplicados no doseamento desses fármacos. Dentre os ensaios microbiológicos, os mais comumente empregados são o de difusão em ágar e o turbidimétrico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver e validar métodos microbiológicos para determinação da potência do fluconazol cápsulas. O método de difusão em ágar foi desenvolvido empregando ágar Sabouraud e Candida albicans ATCC 64548 como micro-organismo teste. Foi utilizado o delineamento 3 x 3, segundo preconiza a Farmacopeia Brasileira (2010). A validação do método demonstrou linearidade entre o diâmetro dos halos de inibição e o logaritmo da concentração numa faixa de 25,0 a 100,0 µg/mL. Os resultados foram precisos, com desvio padrão relativo igual a 6,15%, e exatos, com intervalo de tolerância de 97,30%, dentro dos limites permitidos. O método foi aplicado ainda em estudos de estabilidade, nas condições de estresse calor úmido, em câmara climática a 40 ºC e 75% de umidade relativa por 90 dias; calor seco, em estufa a 60 ºC por 66 dias e fotodegradação, em câmara espelhada com luz UVC por 66 e 180 dias. Os valores de teor médio calculados foram de 30,27% para calor úmido; 27,72% para calor seco; 33,29% para fotodegradação durante 66 dias e 25,00% para fotodegradação durante 180 dias

Análise da estabilidade do movimento rotacional de satélites artificiais com quatérnions e sob a influência de torques externos

The aim of this work is to analyze the stability of the rotational motion’s artificial satellite using the Routh Hurwitz Algorithm (CRH) and the quaternions to describe the satellite’s attitude. This algorithm allows the investigation of the stability of the motion using the coefficients of the characteristic equation associated with the equation of the rotational motion in the linear form. The equations of the rotational motion are given by the four cinematic equations for the quaternion and the three equations of Euler for the spin velocity’s components. In the Euler equations are included the components of the gravity gradient torque (TGG) and the solar radiation torque (TRS). The TGG is generated by the difference of the Earth gravity force direction and intensity actuating on each satellite mass element and it depends on the mass distribution and the form of the satellite. The TRS is created by changing of the linear momentum, which happens due to the interactions of solar photons with the satellite surface. The equilibrium points are gotten by the equation of rotational motion and the CRH is applied in the linear form of these equations. Simulations are developed for small and medium satellites, but the gotten equilibrium points are not stable by CRH. However, when some of the eigenvalues of the characteristic equation are analyzed, it is found some equilibrium points which can be pointed out as stables for an interval of the time, due to small magnitude of the real part of these eigenvalue

Produção e avaliação da estabilidade de enzimas fúngicas

As enzimas estão presentes em todas as células vivas, onde exercem a função de catalisadores das reações que compõem as vias catabólicas e anabólicas do metabolismo celular. Esses biocatalisadores são moléculas de proteínas e seu poder catalítico está associado à conformação nativa, que depende de condições específicas de pH, temperatura e força iônica do meio. Os micro-organismos são bastante atrativos para a indústria, pois possibilitam a produção de enzimas por processos fermentativos em larga escala com regularidade necessária e simplicidade na requisição nutricional. Assim, embora alguns biocatalisadores sejam extraídos de tecidos animais e vegetais, as enzimas industriais são, em sua maior parte, obtidas a partir de micro-organismos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a produção das enzimas lipase e β-glucanase a partir dos fungos Aspergillus niger e Trichoderma reesei, respectivamente, em diferentes meios de cultura, para determinar as condições de maior produção da enzima em questão. As enzimas produzidas em agitador orbital foram obtidas a partir da filtração do produto da fermentação, precipitação com sulfato de amônio e liofilização. Após a produção e precipitação a atividade das enzimas e a concentração de proteínas foram quantificadas, os parâmetros cinéticos foram determinados frente a diferentes pHs, temperaturas e força iônica do meio. A lipase apresentou melhor atividade a 30°C e em pH 6,0. A presença dos íons Mg2+ e Zn2+ levaram a um aumento na atividade da enzima. A β-glucanase apresentou maiores atividades quando submetidas a 37°C e pH 5,0. Os íons Mg2+, Cu2+ e Ca2+ induziram melhor a atividade enzimática.

Relação entre a disparidade de força entre membros inferiores e estabilidade postural em atletas de voleibol

Volleyball is a sport in which the laterality dominant limb shows superior strength and coordination because of its preferential use. Asymmetrical tendencies during the landing after the jump when striking or blocking actions are predominant for most part of game (ARRUDA; EDUARDO, 2008). Adaptations include imbalance of forces in static and dynamic motions at the knee joint, which increases risk for injury. Also, asymmetries in balance control during jumping and landing associate with a general postural instability that can be observed during static balance tasks. The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship between unequal lower limb strength (muscle imbalance) and postural stability levels in volleyball athletes and non-athletes. Nine female volleyball athletes and 10 active non-athletes participated in this study. Four encouters with participants were scheduled: three encounters in the bodybuilding gymnasium to collect anthropometric measures (weight, height for BMI, thigh circumference, which provided an initial diagnosis about asymmetry), and to perform the isometric strength test (i.e., leg press using a load cell and a force transducer to calculate uni an bilateral strength). The last encounter was in the laboratory where a balance test on a force platform was administered under five test conditions, with three repetitions each: baseline (natural standing position), one-leg standing, right side, with full vision (D_CV), and blindfolded (D_SV), one-leg standing, left side, with full vision (E_CV), and blindfolded (E_SV). The stability levels were evaluated using the path length parameters which was based on the total displacement of the center of pressure (DTCP). . Both groups shows asymmetric strength levels between legs, with better performance for the right leg. An ANOVA three way using the DTCP for the CV condition, legs (D x E), trials (3) with repeated measures for the first two factors and with a between (three)...

Prefácios e notas do tradutor: tensão e acolhimento na relação com o outro

The purpose of this paper is to examine the paratexts, mainly prefaces and notes, written by translators on writings of foreigners' travels in Brazil, with the purpose of evidencing which perspective guided their translations, if the perspective of the foreign author is adopted or if it is that of the domestic reader. The works examined were published by the Brazilian publishing house Companhia Editora Nacional in the Brasiliana Colllection. Most of the translators adopted a welcoming discourse to the author in their prefaces, but their prefaces, translations and notes reveal a certain tension between what they stated and what was effectively done, with moments of rupture in which the author's meanings are questioned and even denied. According to my analysis, this happens because the several forces acting on the translation, the author, the translator and the text to be translated, the languages involved, the reader are not working linearly, but in constant tension. As a result, different perspectives are adopted in different translations, but in the same translation there are moments in which the foreign pole is privileged and moments in which the domestic pole emerges.
