Ao longo das últimas décadas verificou-se um aumento do mercado de organismos ornamentais, tornando-se num mercado bastante lucrativo. Os cnidários são um dos grupos com maior interesse e valorização dentro dos organismos ornamentais, dentro destes as medusas têm captado a atenção como organismos ornamentais, apresentando uma grande margem de progressão, sendo atualmente consideradas como uma espécie emergente na indústria da aquariofilia. Embora existam muitas espécies de medusa com potencial ornamental, a seleção de uma espécie alvo para o uso em aquários domésticos obriga a que sejam eleitos alguns critérios de adequabilidade, nomeadamente não ser letal ou perigosa para o Homem. A espécie Phyllorhiza punctata é uma das espécies com muita procura no mercado ornamental. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar as condições ideais para obter medusas a partir da fase de pólipo. Neste sentido foram realizados vários ensaios de forma a otimizar cada fase do processo. Durante todo o processo de produção de medusas é necessário retirar os pólipos de um lugar para outro, colocando-os em novos substratos e esperar que se fixem. Neste sentido é importante que os pólipos se fixem aos substratos, para que ao serem manipulados não se soltem. Assim, foi realizado um estudo relativo à fixação de pólipos em diferentes substratos, nomeadamente: placa de 6 poços, caixa de petri, gobelet de vidro e de plástico. Verificou-se que os pólipos desta espécie não apresentam preferência por nenhum dos substratos em estudo, apresentando ao final de 7 dias uma taxa de fixação superior a 90% independentemente dos substratos usados. Definido o substrato a utilizar nos ensaios, procedeu-se ao estudo das condições ótimas de temperatura e alimentação na reprodução assexuada por gemulação, tendo sido estudadas três temperaturas (20, 24 e 26ºC), combinadas com duas condições de alimento (com e sem alimentação). Verificou-se que a produção de novos pólipos por gemulação obtém-se fornecendo alimento aos pólipos e mantendo-os a 24 ou 26ºC. Do ponto de vista de desenvolvimento de éfiras em pequenas medusas, testaram-se diferentes alimentações ((A) náuplios de artémia (10 Ind/ml), (B) rotíferos (20 Ind/ml), (C) náuplios de artémia (5 Ind/ml) + rotíferos (10 Ind/ml), (D) Microalga (Nannochloropsis sp., 5x105células/ml), (E) Microalga (Nannochloropsis sp., 5x105células/ml) + náuplios de artémia (10 Ind/ml), (F) Microalga (Nannochloropsis sp., 5x105células/ml) + rotíferos (20Ind/ml)), verificando-se que a utilização de Microalgas + Rotíferos, maximiza o crescimento e a sobrevivência, comparativamente com as restantes dietas em estudo. O presente trabalho permitiu aumentar o conhecimento sobre a reprodução assexuada de pólipos e crescimento de éfiras de P. punctata. Ao longo do trabalho foi possível observar que existem condições chave que permitem otimizar o processo de produção desta espécie em aquacultura. Especialmente a importância da alimentação dos pólipos durante o processo de reprodução assexuada por gemulação, bem como da alimentação das éfiras com microalga e rotíferos conjuntamente.

La presente tesis tiene como objetivo determinar la temperatura y densidad óptimas del cultivo larval de lenguado Paralichthys adspersus bajo condiciones controladas de laboratorio. Para el experimento de temperatura se usaron larvas de 2 días después de eclosión (DDE) hasta el día 46 DDE a una densidad de 10 larvas /litro, donde las temperaturas evaluadas fueron 16°, 18°, 20° y 22° con tres repeticiones por tratamientos. Para el experimento de densidad se usaron larvas de 5 DDE hasta el día 35 DDE, con una temperatura promedio de 19°, donde las densidades evaluadas fueron de 10larvas/litro, 20larvas/litro y 30 larvas/litro con tres repeticiones por tratamiento. Para ambos ensayos se realizó la evaluación de la longitud total (mm) y sobrevivencia; para el ensayo de temperatura de larvas de P. adspersus se obtuvo la más alta sobrevivencia a 18° C con 17 ±0,05% y una longitud de 12,25 ±1,06 mm. Para el ensayo de densidad de larvas de P. adspersus, se obtuvo la más alta sobrevivencia en el tratamiento de 10 larvas /litro con 10 ±3,72% y una longitud de 9,35 ±0,48 mm.

Negli ultimi anni il panorama evolutivo delle normative omologative ha dettato una severa evoluzione dei limiti sulla concentrazione degli inquinanti gassosi allo scarico, inclusa la CO2 per ragioni legate all'effetto serra ed al contenimento dei consumi di fonti energetiche non rinnovabili. L'obiettivo di sviluppo dei nuovi motori a combustione interna è principalmente rivolto all'incremento dell'efficienza di conversione limitato da fenomeni di combustione anomala quali la detonazione. Per superare tale limite è necessario individuare nuove soluzioni che riducano il rischio di detonazione all'aumentare della potenza specifica del motore tra cui trova interesse l'iniezione d'acqua in fase liquida perché l'elevato calore latente di vaporizzazione può fornire il raffreddamento della miscela desiderato. Il progetto sviluppato in questa tesi consiste nella valutazione degli effetti dell'iniezione d'acqua in un motore ad accensione comandata ad alta potenza specifica al fine di analizzarne gli effetti termo-fluidodinamici e valutarne i possibili benefici e svantaggi. La metodica di ricerca è stata di tipo numerico tramite l'adozione della simulazione CFD tridimensionale. Dopo una valutazione preliminare dei tempi caratteristici evaporativi e del rischio di saturazione, lo sviluppo di questa tesi si è articolato in un confronto tra le due soluzioni tecnologiche disponibili, iniezione d'acqua diretta e indiretta, analizzando l'influenza dell'iniezione d'acqua sulle grandezze motoristiche di maggiore interesse, quali titolo della miscela, intensità di turbolenza e temperatura, la cui ottimizzazione e il cui controllo sono fondamentali per il raggiungimento della massima efficienza di un motore ad accensione comandata e per superare il limite della detonazione.

Negli ultimi decenni nuove e sempre più restrittive normative antiinquinamento son state introdotte nei paesi maggiormente industrializzati dettando un aumento degli sforzi progettuali imposti all’industria automobilistica per cercare di contenere l’impatto ambientale esercitato dai motori a combustione interna. E’ evidente quindi l’importanza di possedere una profonda conoscenza dei fenomeni fisici e chimici che influenzano i processi di combustione così come avere a disposizione modelli quanto più accurati per la loro corretta rappresentazione tramite CFD. Per i motori ad accensione comandata gli studi si sono focalizzati sulla ricerca dell’efficienza evitando di incorrere in rischi di detonazione. Numerose sono le tecnologie che permettono di assolvere alle funzioni richieste, tra le più affermate vi sono i sistemi a fasatura variabile, in particolare le strategie che prendono il nome di ciclo Miller. Tale sistema, implementabile facilmente senza l’utilizzo di alcun sistema aggiuntivo, permette di ridurre sensibilmente temperature e pressioni in camera. Il seguente lavoro di tesi studierà, attraverso simulazione numerica tridimensionale condotta con software CONVERGE®, gli aspetti fisici e fluidodinamici indotti dalle diverse strategie REF, EIVC e LIVC applicate ad un motore GDI con tecnologia downsizing e turbocharging (modellato in ambiente CAD, tramite PTC CREO®). Successivamente, allo stesso motore, saranno apportate modifiche progettuali con lo scopo di comprendere in che modo un aumento di un punto del rapporto di compressione, che equivale a spostarsi verso zone a prestazioni più elevate, impatti sull’entità di pressione, temperatura e comportamento fluidodinamico e fisico a pari condizioni operative e di alzata. L’analisi ed il confronto con gli altri casi sancirà se questa nuova configurazione possa essere accettabile o rischiosa ai fini della detonazione.

This article describes the use of a conventional CRT monitor as a high voltage power supply for capillary electrophoresis. With this monitor, a 23-kV high voltage with a ripple of 1.32% was observed. The reproducibility of the applied high voltage was evaluated by measuring the standard deviations of peak area and migration time for five consecutive injections of a test mixture containing potassium, sodium, and lithium cations at 50 mmol L-1. The errors were about 2.5% and 0.6% for peak area and migration time, respectively. The maximum current tested was about 180 mA, which covers most capillary electrophoresis applications. This system has been successfully used for several months, maintaining the desired level of performance.

Synthetic dyes are much used in processed foods. HPLC was applied to different types of snacks, such as colored cereals, chocolate confetti, chewing gums and candies for the determination of those additives. In the case of artificially colored breakfast cereals, 71% of the samples exceeded the allowed limits. Regarding the portions recommended for consumption by the makers of two of the samples, the amounts exceeded those allowed by the Brazilian legislation. In the case of chocolate confetti and candies none of the samples showed higher amounts than those allowed. However 37% of the chewing gum samples presented larger contents than the authorized ones, and one sample contained five times more synthetic dyes than allowed.

The high cost of sensitivity commercial calorimeters may represent an obstacle for many calorimetric research groups. This work describes the construction and calibration of a batch differential heat conduction calorimeter with sample cells volumes of about 400 μL. The calorimeter was built using two small high sensibility square Peltier thermoelectric sensors and the total cost was estimated to be about US$ 500. The calorimeter was used to study the excess enthalpy of solution of binary mixtures of liquids, as a function of composition, for the following binary systems of solvents: water + 1,4-dioxane or + dimethylsulfoxide at 298,2 ± 0,5 K.

Emerging organic pollutants (EOP) include many environmental contaminants based on commercial products such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, detergents, gasoline, polymers, etc. EOP may be candidates for future regulation as they offer potential risk to environmental and human health due to their continual entrance into the environment and to the fact that even the most modern wastewater treatment plants are not able to totally transform / remove these compounds. High performance liquid chromatography is recommended to separate emerging organic pollutants with characteristics of high polarity and low volatility, especially pharmaceuticals, from environmental matrices.

Inulin is a functional food ingredient, generally employed as sugar or fat substitute in food systems. This ingredient can be found in several vegetal products, including chicory roots. As the solubility of inulin is susceptible to temperature changes, the product suffers a fractionalization resulting in two phases when cooled, originating a precipitated phase, more viscose, and a liquid phase, of lesser viscosity. The study of rheological properties of different phases of inulin extract is important for equipment designing, such as mixer and bombs. In this work, rheological behavior at three different temperatures (25; 40 and 50 ºC) was determined for liquid and precipitated phases of inulin liquid extract, extracted from chicory roots by hot water diffusion and cooled at two different temperatures (8 and -10 ºC), suffering phases separation. The precipitated phase was analyzed in two conditions: pure and with the addition of microencapsulating agents (maltodextrin and hydrolized starch). All of them presented a linear behavior, similar to that of the Plastics of Bingham. Some of them, however, were not an adequate fit to this model.

In Brazil the adoption of several models of cattle confinement leads to special conditions for management methods in dairy production, which can be improved by the use of technology that assures better herd management. Indexes relating environmental variables to production are applied for the prediction of milk production. The values of temperature and relative humidity, rain index, solar radiation and pasture soil temperature are generally considered potential stress agents for cows. The objective of this research was to develop an index for predicting milk production for high productivity Jersey milking cows lodged in semi confinement in tropical conditions. The experiment considered two treatments: A - the cows waited for 30 minutes prior to milking in a room with a shower associated to a fan; B - the cows did not have access to this room (control). Other than the waiting period, the cows had access to pasture. Differences in the effect of average production were not statistically significant. The analysis for studying the effect of the variables and designing the model led to a statistical model relating the variables milk production and rain index, as well as the maximum soil temperature of pasture, and milk production.

This research studied the effect of low density polyethylene packaging and storage temperature on the preservation of fresh-cut (minimally processed) cabbage. The cabbages, previously cooled to a temperature of 10 ºC, were selected, washed, cut in four parts (with the central stalk removed), sanitized, cut in strips, rinsed, put in the centrifuge, weighed and stored in plastic packaging of low density polyethylene (70 µm), and then stored in cold chambers at temperatures of 1 and 10 ºC for 20 days. The following aspects were evaluated: carbon dioxide, oxygen and ethylene in the internal atmosphere of the package as well as, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, vitamin C, loss of fresh mass and the total soluble solids/acidity in the fresh-cut cabbage ratio. The experimental design was entirely casual, with three repetitions. The analysis parameters, except for the vitamin C, loss of fresh mass and ethylene, presented significant variation between the temperatures and days of storage. The cabbage stored at a temperature of 1 ºC presented a shelf life of around 15 days, significantly higher than that stored at 10 ºC. At this temperature, on the 8th day of storage, the product was completely decayed, unfit for commercialization or consumption.

The biodegradability of animal wastes production was evaluated through a simplified methodology that allowed the verification of the applicability of anaerobic processes. The experiments were performed in bath reactors, with granular sludge of three origins: UASB reactor treating dairy effluent, UASB reactor treating swine effluent and UASB reactor treating effluent of slaughterhouse of poultry. The experiments (1) - dairy effluent and poultry slaughterhouse non-adapted sludge; (2) -swine effluent and poultry slaughterhouse non-adapted sludge; (3) - dairy effluent and poultry slaughterhouse adapted sludge; (4) - swine effluent and poultry slaughterhouse adapted sludge; (5) - dairy effluent and dairy sludge, and (6) - swine effluent and swine sludge were performed in Incubator Shaker, at a temperature of 35 °C, under agitation at a 150 rpm, for 5 minutes, every 1 hour. A substrat:biomass relationship of 0.5 was used. Kinetic models of Monod, Zero Order, First and Second Order were tested and it was verified that the First Order model provided the best adjustment. The apparent First Order kinetic parameter (k1) was estimated for the experiments 1; 2; 3; 4; 5, and 6, as 2.51 x 10-2; 2.49 x 10-2; 1.90 x 10-2; 3.09 x 10-2; 2.54 x 10-2; 4.09 x 10-2 h-1, respectively.

Behavioral adjustments may occur fast and with less cost than the physiological adaptations. Considering the social behavior is suggestive that the frequency and the intensity of aggressive interactions, the total social cohesion and the extent of vicious attitudes may be used to evaluate welfare. This research presents an analysis of the interactions between the experimental factors such as temperature, genetic and time of the day in the behavior of female broiler breeders under controlled environment in a climatic chamber in order to enhance the different reaction of the birds facing distinct environmental conditions. The results showed significant differences between the behaviors expressed by the studied genetics presenting the need of monitoring them in real-time in order to predict their welfare in commercial housing, due to the complexity of the environmental variables that interfere in the well being process. The research also concluded that the welfare evaluation of female broiler breeders needs to consider the time of the day during the observation of the behaviors.
