Maria de Portugal, una dona amagada per la història

The points of departure of this article are our own researches which talked about Maria of Portugal and widowhood during the 14ht century, respectively. We were interested in the figure of Maria of Portugal as example of all that kind of people, mostly women but also children who were treated as change currency by their relatives. They were used to guaranty peace treaties and other agreements, but also as hostages in war times. This article is based on the study of Maria's will, which is preserved in the Arxiu de la Coroan d'Aaragó. however we also thought necessary to present the figure of Maria of Portugal in order to grasp, not only the events that marked her life, but also the way they influenced in her thoughts an feelings.

Da cor à cor inexistente: uma reflexão sobre espectros eletrônicos e efeitos cromáticos

Inexistent colors have been the inspiring theme of investigation by Israel Pedrosa, a Brazilian artist, who has devoted his life to creative painting, exploiting the chemical and physical effects associated with light, especially those generated in the light refraction domain. In this article, by focusing on the electronic spectra of phthalocyanines and gold nanoparticles, we discuss how such effects can influence the spectroscopic measurements, leading to inexistent bands and transitions.

Remoção de cor em soluções de corantes reativos por oxidação com H2O2/UV

This paper summarizes the result of a degradation test of two azo-reactive dyes (Reactive Blue 214, Reactive Red 243) under UV irradiation in the presence of H2O2. Five different doses of hydrogen peroxide (0 mM, 5 mM, 10 mM, 20 mM and 30 mM) at constant initial concentration of the substrate (100 mg/L) were used. The radiation source were three 15 W-lamps. Complete destruction of the color of the solutions was attained in 40-50 min of irradiation. UV/H2O2 proved capable of complete discoloration and degradation of the above azo reactive dyes.

Variação anual de metilxantinas totais em amostras de Ilex paraguariensis A. St. - Hil. (erva-mate) em Ijuí e Santa Maria, Estado do Rio Grande do Sul

Ilex paraguariensis is a native plant in Southern Brazil, whose leaves are utilized in beverages such as chimarrão and tererê. This study investigated variations of total methylxanthines in leaves from two Ilex populations collected at one-month intervals over the course of one year. The levels varied from 1.92 to 10.37 mg/g (Ijuí) and 1.77 to 9.17 mg/g (Santa Maria). Statistical analysis indicated a significative variation in the contents of all samples analysed, confirming seasonal fluctuations. These results show that the period of harvest might decisively influence the organoleptic characteristics of raw material used in industry and therefore in commercial products.

Maria Josepa Arnall i Juan, in memoriam

This article reviews the life and career of Dr. Maria Josepa Arnall i Juan (1948-2002), head professor of Historiographic Science and Techniques at the University of Barcelona. Dr. Arnall was distinguished both on a personal and professional level. She performed a magnificent task as a researcher and teacher, and possessed a great work ethic, as evidenced by her rich and rigorous scientific output, described in the article. She played an active role in collaboration with the Archivists Association of Catalonia helping to train Catalan archivists. The memory of her as a person and a professional, as well as her important and valuable work, remain as her legacy

La Conservació dels murals de la capella de Sant Miquel del Reial Monestir de Santa Maria de Pedralbes

Quan l'abadessa del monestir de Pedralbes estableix en el contracte de Ferrer Bassa que els murals de la capella de Sant Miquel es facin a l'oli segurament fa referència a una tècnica pictòrica consistent a aglutinar els pigments amb oli i a la seva aplicació damunt d'una capa prèvia feta a base de blanc de plom. Però la tècnica que ens trobem no és aquesta: si bé s'utilitza l'oli, s'empren altres aglutinants proteics i resines terpèniques, essent la fase prèvia una pintura al fresc. Els murals estan pintats al fresc i al sec gairabé en la mateixa proporció,i la distribució dels dos procediments està perfectament planificada abans de començar a pintar. També està previst fer la profusa decoració amb daurats i platejats. Els principals problemes de conservació són es inherents a la utilització d'aglutinants orgànics. La tècnica executiva és l'element que més ha condicionat la conservació dels murals, mentre que l'ambient estable de la capella i la seva ubicació han permès que aquest cicle pictòric hagi superat prop de set-cents anys d'història en un estat molt intacte i complet.

Potencial de controle da erva-de-Santa-Maria sobre Pratylenchus brachyurus

O emprego de plantas antogônicas tem sido uma alternativa no controle de fitonematóides. O efeito da erva-de-Santa-Maria (ESM) sobre a população de Pratylenchus brachyurus foi avaliado em teste in vitro e em dois experimentos em condições de casa de vegetação. No teste in vitro, utilizou-se extrato de ESM em quatro concentrações (20; 2; 0,2 e 0,02%), em suspensões contendo 500 exemplares de P. brachyurus. Após 48 h, os nematóides vivos foram coletados e contados. Verificou-se que a ESM possui ação nematicida, sendo observada maior mortalidade de juvenis de P. brachyurus quando comparada com o controle químico (aldicarb). Nos experimentos em casa de vegetação, plantas de ESM e soja foram inoculadas com 1.500 e 5.000 nematóides, respectivamente, e, após 45 dias, a parte aérea (PA) foi incorporada ao solo, seguindo-se os seguintes tratamentos: incorporação da PA da ESM; incorporação da PA da soja; e sem incorporação da PA. Após um mês, cada vaso recebeu uma planta de soja, para atuar como indicador biológico de parasitismo. Após 45 dias, avaliou-se a população final do nematóide presente nas raízes de soja e no solo e as massas seca da PA e fresca de raízes da soja. Houve redução da população do nematóide nos tratamentos com ESM, mas foi observada fitotoxidez em plantas de soja.

O plancton do rio Maria Rodrigues (Cananéia): I. Diatomáceas e Dinoflagelados

The author studies seventeen surface level samples of Diatoms and Dinoflagellates collected between June 7 and October 28, 1949, by the São Paulo Oceanographic Institute, on the southern inshore region ol São Paulo State, Brazil. Thirty-two species of diatoms distributed among twenty-four genera were present in the samples collected. Neritic forms of northerly and southerly temperate habitats predominated, varying very little from those found commonly in the open ocean. Coscinodiscus excentricus and C. radiatus were the most prominent species. Chaetoceros curvisetum, Coscinodiscus grani, Thalassionema nitzschioides and Thalassiotrix frauenfeldii occurred in very large numbers in the samples. Certain regions are shown to be consistently more productive than others at the surface level. The species of diatoms represented throughout .the region were cosmopolitan; in character. Dinoflagellate population was represented by 8 species distributed, among 3 genera, but at no time did they occur in large numbers.
