A amígdala medial póstero-ventral (MePV) é uma estrutura encefálica onde os hormônios gonadais têm um efeito neurotrófico nos ratos. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: 1) estimar e comparar o volume somático neuronal da MePV de machos (n=5) e fêmeas nas fases de diestro, proestro e estro (n=5 em cada fase) do ciclo ovariano, além de avaliar o possível efeito na lateralidade em ambos os hemisférios cerebrais. Para tanto utilizou-se a reconstrução estereológica de cortes seriados. 2) Caracterizar os aspectos ultra-estruturais neuronais e descrever a ultra-estrutura dos contatos sinápticos nas diferentes porções de tais células (dendritos, espinhos dendríticos, soma e axônio) da mesma região de ratos machos (n=8) e fêmeas em diestro (n=8). Todos os animais foram manipulados de acordo com os procedimentos éticos, anestesiados e perfundidos por via transcardíaca, tendo seus encéfalos sido removidos, pós-fixados e processados para a microscopia eletrônica. No primeiro experimento, as estimativas do volume somático médio de neurônios da MePV esquerda e direita foram realizadas usando-se o método de Cavalieri associado à técnica de contagem de pontos. Os dados foram comparados entre os grupos usando-se o teste de análise de variância (ANOVA) de duas vias para medidas repetidas e pelo teste post-hoc das mínimas diferenças significativas. O nível de significância estatística foi estabelecido em p < 0,05. A análise estatística dos dados mostrou que houve uma diferença no volume somático da MePV entre os grupos experimentais, machos, fêmeas em diestro, proestro e estro [F(3,16) = 3,42; p = 0,043], mas não houve diferença quanto à lateralidade [F(1,16) = 0,19; p = 0,668] nem na interação entre grupos e lateralidade [F(3,16) = 0,99; p = 0,421]. As comparações post-hoc mostraram que a média do volume dos machos não diferem quando comparados com fêmeas em diestro (p > 0,05), mas foi significativamente maior do que em fêmeas em proestro e em estro (p < 0,05 em ambos os casos). Quando foram comparadas as médias do volume somático da MePV nas diferentes fases do ciclo estral das fêmeas, não houve diferença significativa entre esses todos (p > 0,05). No segundo experimento, secções ultrafinas (70-80 nm) foram analisadas e a ultra-estrutura da MePV descrita. No neuropilo da MePV de machos e fêmeas em diestro, neurônios e suas organelas, dendritos com e sem espinho, processos axonais, feixes axônicos não-mielinizados e poucos axônios mielinizados, processos gliais e vasos sangüíneos foram identificados. Além disso, foram observadas sinapses axo-dendríticas supostamente excitatórias com suas regiões pré-sinápticas contendo vesículas claras arredondadas com algumas achatadas e outras de centro denso. Os dendritos algumas vezes recebem vários terminais axonais sobre um mesmo ramo e axônios contatando com mais de uma estrutura pós-sináptica também foram observados. Os espinhos dendríticos apresentavam diferentes morfologias e geralmente recebiam um único contato sináptico, ainda que se tenha observado espinhos com mais de um terminal em aposição a sua membrana. Sinapses simétricas supostamente inibitórias também foram observadas e geralmente no soma neuronal. Os presentes resultados demonstram que: 1) o volume somático neuronal é um parâmetro sexualmente dimórfico na MePV, sendo maior em machos do que em fêmeas em proestro e estro, mas não em fêmeas em diestro. 2) para evidenciar portanto, os efeitos dos hormônios gonadais nos neurônios da MePV é relevante considerar os estágios do ciclo estral das ratas. 3) o volume somático neuronal não mostrou lateralidade nem interação entre os grupos e lateralidade. 4) as peculiaridades nucleares e citoplasmáticas dos neurônios da MePV de ratos machos e fêmeas em diestro não diferem entre si e são semelhantes àquelas de outras áreas encefálicas. 5) espinhos dendríticos formam somente sinapses assimétricas (tipo I), aparentemente excitatórias, e podem ter mais de um contato sináptico. 6) sinapses simétricas (tipo II), aparentemente inibitórias, ocorrem somente sobre ramos dendríticos proximais e somas neuronais. 7) os terminais axonais formando sinapses foram observadas vesículas claras arredondadas e algumas achatadas e ocasionalmente algumas de centro denso. 8) aparentemente as fêmeas apresentaram maior quantidade de vesículas de centro denso do que em machos. O presente trabalho acrescenta novos achados que são importantes para o estudo da organização celular e sináptica da MePV e que podem se associar a outros dados morfológicos previamente descritos na literatura de modo a aumentar a compreensão que se tem a respeito da atividade funcional dessa área do encéfalo de ratos machos e fêmeas, ainda pouco explorada.

Micropartículas nanorrevestidas foram preparadas através da secagem por aspersão empregando-se suspensões de nanocápsulas poliméricas como material de revestimento. Uma matriz 2³ foi empregada, e os fatores analisados foram o método de preparação de nanocápsulas (nanoprecipitação e emulsificação-difusão), o polímero [poli(ε-caprolactona) e Eudragit® RS100] e a forma de inclusão da indometacina nas micropartículas (nanocápsulas ou núcleo). Duas formulações adicionais foram preparadas associando a indometacina ao dióxido de silício em etapa única, empregando nanocápsulas obtidas através do método de nanoprecipitação com a poli(ε-caprolactona) e com o Eudragit® RS100. As suspensões de nanocápsulas foram caracterizadas através da medida do pH, do tamanho médio de partícula, do potencial zeta e da eficiência de encapsulação. As micropartículas nanorrevestidas foram caracterizadas quanto ao tamanho de partícula, a taxa de associação, ao rendimento, a área superficial e ao volume de poros. A análise morfológica foi realizada através da microscopia eletrônica de varredura e da microscopia óptica. Também foram determinados o tamanho médio de partícula e o potencial zeta dos pós ressuspendidos. Os perfis de dissolução foram avaliados em tampão fosfato pH 6,8 através da eficiência de dissolução, dos fatores de similaridade e de diferença, da modelagem matemática e do modelo da Lei da Potência. O conjunto dos resultados permitiu selecionar as formulações preparadas com Eudragit® RS100 como sendo as mais promissoras, porque apresentaram maior controle da liberação do fármaco. Em relação à técnica de preparação das nanocápsulas foi selecionada a nanoprecipitação, pois possibilitou a redução de tensoativos, o que torna o processo de secagem mais eficiente. Além disso, a estratégia de associação do fármaco em uma etapa demonstrou perfis de liberação mais controlados para as micropartículas nanorrevestidas. A modelagem matemática empregando a Lei da Potência permitiu a proposição de um modelo de dissolução, a desaglomeração do sistema nanorrevestido microparticulado.

Tendo em vista o controle da porosidade da matriz polimérica de micropartículas constituídas por blendas de poli(hidroxibutirato-co-hidroxivalerato) [P(HBHV)] e de poli- ε-caprolactona (PCL), o presente trabalho objetivou verificar a possibilidade de controle da liberação de fármacos associados a esses sistemas. Foram preparadas micropartículas constituídas de blendas de P(HBHV):PCL nas proporções de 100:0, 90:10 e 80:20 (m/m) pelo método de emulsificação/evaporação de solvente, variandose o volume de fase orgânica. Os modelos de fármacos utilizados foram a dexametasona e o acetato de dexametasona. As micropartículas obtidas apresentaram rendimento e eficiência de encapsulação satisfatória, entretanto, através de análises por microscopia óptica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura foi evidenciada a ocorrência de cristais de fármaco não encapsulado. Os diâmetros de partícula permaneceram em torno de 100 a 200 μm e variaram em função do volume de fase orgânica. A área superficial foi afetada pelo percentual de PCL na blenda e pela presença de cristais do fármaco nas formulações. A análise térmica das amostras demonstrou que o processo de obtenção alterou a estrutura cristalina do P(HBHV) e que a encapsulação dos fármacos levou à variação da sua temperatura de transição vítrea e cristalinidade. Os perfis de dissolução da dexametasona a partir das micropartículas apresentaram ajustes adequados ao modelo monoexponencial e foram semelhantes aos perfis apresentados pelo fármaco não encapsulado. Nas formulações contendo acetato de dexametasona houve liberação sustentada do fármaco por até 250 horas quando associado aos sistemas e a modelagem matemática indicou ajuste dos perfis ao modelo biexponencial. Evidenciou-se um aumento nos valores das constantes de liberação dos fármacos conforme o acréscimo do conteúdo de PCL na blenda.

O processo de transformação da pele em couro envolve uma seqüência complexa de reações químicas e processos mecânicos, no qual o curtimento representa fundamental estágio, por propiciar à pele características como qualidade, estabilidade hidrotérmica e excelentes propriedades para uso. O sulfato básico de cromo trivalente é o agente curtente predominantemente empregado no curtimento de peles em todo o mundo. É produzido a partir do cromato de sódio, industrialmente obtido do minério de cromo. Consideráveis quantidades de resíduos sólidos contendo cromo são geradas pelas indústrias coureira e calçadista. Estes resíduos tem sido motivo de preocupação constante, uma vez que são considerados perigosos devido a presença do cromo. O processo de incineração destes resíduos é uma importante alternativa a ser considerada, em decorrência de suas características de redução de massa, volume e possibilidade de aproveitamento da energia térmica dos gases de combustão. O processo de incineração dos resíduos das indústrias coureira e calçadista dá origem a cinzas contendo cerca de 40% de cromo que pode ser submetida a um processo de recuperação. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados da pesquisa sobre a utilização das cinzas, provenientes da incineração dos resíduos sólidos da indústria coureira e da indústria calçadista, para a produção de cromato de sódio(VI). No processo de planejamento e de condução dos experimentos foram utilizadas as técnicas de Planejamento Fatorial 2k, Metodologia de Superfície de Resposta e Análise de Variância na avaliação da produção de cromato de sódio(VI). Os fatores investigados foram: temperatura, taxa de aquecimento, tempo de reação, vazão de ar e quantidade de dolomita. A partir das variáveis selecionadas identificaram-se como parâmetros importantes a temperatura e a taxa de aquecimento. As superfícies de resposta tridimensionais obtidas a partir dos modelos de segunda ordem ajustados aos dados experimentais, apresentaram o comportamento do efeito conjugado dos fatores temperatura e taxa de aquecimento sobre a variável resposta grau de oxidação, desde a temperatura de inicio da reação química até a temperatura limite utilizada industrialmente. As condições de operação do processo de produção de cromato de sódio(VI) foram otimizadas. Os níveis ótimos dos fatores de controle aplicados as cinzas dos resíduos da indústria calçadista, geradas em uma planta piloto com incinerador de leito fixo, com tecnologia de gaseificação e combustão combinadas, apresentaram um grau de oxidação superior a 96% para as cinzas coletadas no ciclone e de 99,5% para as cinzas coletas no reator de gaseificação. Os resíduos sólidos, as cinzas e o produto de reação foram caracterizados por análises químicas, fluorescência de raio-X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura e difração de raio-X.

Protein and caloric malnutrition has been considered one of the most concerned endemic diseases in Brazil and in the world. It has been known that depletion or reduction of proteins as far as meals are concerned can steer irreversible damages upon several organic systems. This study had as aim evaluate the effects the low-protein diet had over the formation and composition of the teeth components. 18 females and 6 males were used for the experiment. 12 from the 18 females had undertaken the low-protein diet (DH) for 03 weeks and the other 6, which remained, and those males had undertaken a controlled diet (DC) for the same period. All animals had the diets during their mating, pregnancy and lactation cycle. As soon as the offsprings had been born, 10 young males and females of each group faced a disease hood analysis to check the teeth germs of their lower fore teeth. The rest of the group had their lactation cycle normally 60 days. Then they were put to death and had their lower fore teeth removed both to be analyzed through a scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) of the structure alterations and to have their calcium checked by an atomic absorption of the phosphorus vanadate-molibdate method and by other minerals EDX method. The animals livers were removed to have their hepatic proteins analyzed as well. The histopatologic study showed that at first day of birth, all animals had their lower fore teeth come out. It was verified that 90% of the animals teeth were in an apposition and calcification period and it was possible to observe the dentin formation from 60% of the 90% already mentioned. Through the SEM method it could be realized that 90% of the animals of the DH group had their lower fore teeth easily broken and no definite shape. In this same group itself, it was also observed long micro fissures 369,66 nm ± 3,45 while the DC group had fissures of 174 nm ± 5,72. Now regarding the calcium and phosphorus concentration, it could be noticed that there was a great reduction of these components and other minerals in the DH group. Almost all minerals, except for the Cl and K, presented higher levels in the DC group enamel.The reduction of the protein input greatly influenced the offsprings´ weight and height. However the hepatic proteins had no important difference between the groups what can make one believe that those animals suffered from protein malnutrition of marasmic kind

The natural gas is an alternative source of energy which is found underground in porous and permeable rocks and being associated or not to the oil. Its basic composition includes methane, other hydrocarbon and compounds such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, sulphidric gas, mercaptans, water and solid particles. In this work, the dolomite mineral, a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium whose the chemical formula is CaMg(CO3)2, was evaluated as adsorbent material. The material was characterized by granulometric analysis, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, specific surface area, porosity, scanning electronic microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Then the material was functionalized with diethanolamine (dolomite+diethanolamine) and diisopropylamine (dolomite+diisopropylamine). The results indicated that the adsorbents presented appropriate physiochemical characteristics for H2S adsorption. The adsorption tests were accomplished in a system coupled to a gas chromatograph and the H2S monitoring in the output of the system was accomplished by a pulsed flame photometric detector (PFPD). The adsorbents presented a significant adsorption capacity. Among the analyzed adsorbents, the dolomite+diethanolamine presented the best capacity of adsorption. The breakthrough curves obtained proved the efficiency of this process

Brazil is a great ceramic raw materials productor because of the its big number of clay deposits, in various areas of the ceramic industry. Although, the majority of the natural reservations are unknown or not studied yet, so there is no scientific technical dates that can guide their usage and industrial application, as well as the racional and optimazed way of usage by the industrial sector. The state of Maranhão has a gigant mineral wealth as esmectite, bentonite, kaolin, clays, feldspates, marine salt, iron and others, but produce only products with small agregated value compared to the porcelanato, one of the most expensives ceramic cover tiles, the reason for that is the low water absorption (lower than 0,5%), beside present amazing tecnicals features, like mechanical resistence. The main objective of the work is to do the characterization of four clays, with the finallity of find an application by the results and develop formulations to produce porcelanato using these raw materials from Timon-MA. For this were made the raw materials characterization using X ray fluorecence; X ray diffraction; Differencial thermal analysis; Dilatometric analysis and Tecnological properties, planing three formulations that were sinterized at six different temperatures: 1150, 1170, 1190, 1210, 1230 and 1250ºC for 7 minutes. After the sinteratization, the samples were submitted to tension resistance analysis. Were attained two formulations with the requested properties to produce porcelanato

Ta-Cu bulk composites combine high mechanical resistance of the Ta with high electrical and thermal conductivity of the Cu. These are important characteristics to electrical contacts, microwave absorber and heat skinks. However, the low wettability of Ta under Cu liquid and insolubility mutual these elements come hard sintering this composite. High-energy milling (HEM) produces composite powders with high homogeneity and refines the grain size. This work focus to study Ta-20wt%Cu composite powders prepared by mechanical mixture and HEM with two different conditions of milling in a planetary ball mill and then their sintering using hydrogen plasma furnace and a resistive vacuum furnace. After milling, the powders were pressed in a steel dye at a pressure of 200 MPa. The cylindrical samples pressed were sintered by resistive vacuum furnace at 10-4torr with a sintering temperature at 1100ºC / 60 minutes and with heat rate at 10ºC/min and were sintered by plasma furnace with sintering temperatures at 550, 660 and 800ºC without isotherm under hydrogen atmosphere with heat rate at 80ºC/min. The characterizations of the powders produced were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and laser granulometry. After the sintering the samples were analyzed by SEM, XRD and density and mass loss tests. The results had shown that to high intense milling condition produced composite particles with shorter milling time and amorphization of both phases after 50 hours of milling. The composite particles can produce denser structure than mixed powders, if heated above the Cu melting point. After the Cu to arrive in the melting point, liquid copper leaves the composite particles and fills the pores

Natural nanoclays are of great interest particularly for the production of polymer-based nanocomposites. In this work, kaolinite clays from two natural deposits in the State of the Rio Grande do Norte and Paraiba were purified with thermal treatment and chemical treatments, and characterized. Front to the gotten data, had been proposals methodologies for elimination or reduction of coarse particle texts, oxide of iron and organic substance. These methodologies had consisted of the combination of operations with thermal treatments, carried through in electric oven, and acid chemical attacks with and hydrogen peroxide. The Analyzers Thermogravimetric was used to examine the thermal stability of the nanoclays. The analysis indicated weight losses at temperatures under 110 ºC and over the temperature range of 350 to 550 ºC. Based on the thermal analysis data, the samples were submitted to a thermal treatment at 500 °C, for 8 h, to remove organic components. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that thermal treatment under 500 °C affect the basic structure of kaolinite. The BET surface area measurements ranged from 32 to 38 m2/g for clay samples with thermal treatment and from 36 to 53 m2/g for chemically treated samples. Thus, although the thermal treatment increased the surface area, through the removal of organic components, the effect was not significant and chemical treatment is more efficient, not affect the basic structure of kaolinite, to improve particle dispersion. SEM analysis confirms that the clay is agglomerated forming micron-size particles

heterogeneous catalyst such as a silicoaluminophosphate, molecular sieve with AEL (Aluminophosphate eleven) structure such as SAPO-11, was synthesized through the hydrothermal method starting from silica, pseudoboehmite, orthophosphoric acid (85%) and water, in the presence of a di-isopropylamine organic template. For the preparation of SAPO-11 in a dry basis it was used as reactants: DIPA; H3PO4; SiO4; Pseudoboehmite and distilled water. The crystallization process occurred when the reactive hydrogel was charged into a vessel and autoclaved at 200ºC for a period of 72 hours under autogeneous pressure. The obtained material was washed, dried and calcined to remove the molecular sieves of DIPA. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nitrogen adsorption (BET) and thermal analysis (TG/DTG). The acidic properties were determined using adsorption of nbutylamine followed by programmed thermodessorption. This method revealed that SAPO-11 shows an acidity that ranges from weak to moderate. However, a small quantity of strong acid sites could be detected there. The deactivation of the catalysts was conducted by artificial coking followed by the cracking of the n-hexane in a fixed bed with a continuous flow micro-reactor coupled on line to a gas chromatograph. The main products obtained were: ethane, propane, isobutene, n-butane, n-pentane and isopentane. The Vyazovkin (model-free) kinetics method was used to determine the regeneration and removal of the coke

The direct use of natural gas makes the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) potentially more competitive with the current energy conversions technologies. The Intermediate Temperature SOFC (IT-SOFC) offer several advantages over the High Temperature SOFC (HT-SOFC), which includes better thermal compatibility among components, fast start with lower energy consumption, manufacture and operation cost reduction. The CeO2 based materials are alternatives to the Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) to application in SOFC, as they have higher ionic conductivity and less ohmic losses comparing to YSZ, and they can operate at lower temperatures (500-800°C). Ceria has been doped with a variety of cations, although, the Gd3+ has the ionic radius closest to the ideal one to form solid solution. These electrolytes based in ceria require special electrodes with a higher performance and chemical and termomechanical compatibility. In this work compounds of gadolinia-doped ceria, Ce1-xGdxO2-δ (x = 0,1; 0,2 and 0,3), used as electrolytes, were synthesized by polymeric precursors method, Pechini, as well as the composite material NiO - Ce0,9Gd0,1O1,95, used as anode, also attained by oxide mixture method, mixturing the powders of the both phases calcinated already. The materials were characterized by X ray diffraction, dilatometry and scanning electronic microscopy. The refinement of the diffraction data indicated that all the Ce1-xGdxO2-δ powders were crystallized in a unique cubic phase with fluorite structure, and the composite synthesized by Pechini method produced smaller crystallite size in comparison with the same material attained by oxide mixture method. All the produced powders had nanometric characteristics. The composite produced by Pechini method has microstructural characteristics that can increase the triple phase boundaries (TPB) in the anode, improving the cell efficiency, as well as reducing the mass transport mechanism effect that provokes anode degradation

Ceramics materials have good properties including chemical stability, high hardness and wear resistance. Moreover, due to its fragility, can suffer failure under relatively low levels of tension. Actually zirconia is the material of choice in metal free dental prostheses used in dentistry due its inertia in physiological environment, good bending strength, hardness and fracture toughness. The alumina and mixed tungsten and titanium carbides additions, acting as reinforcement elements in the zirconia matrix, have as their main objective the improvement of mechanical properties of this material. In this work, samples of zirconia, zirconia with 30% wt of alumina and zirconia with 30% wt mixed carbides were analyzed. The samples were sintered by uniaxial hot pressing on 30 MPa pressure, for 1 hour in an argon atmosphere. They were physically characterized by porosity and density measurements, and mechanically by 3-points bending strength and Vickers microhardness. The X-ray diffraction was used for the phase identifications and microstructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The addition of mixed carbides as reinforcement elements in zirconia matrix provides improvements in all properties analyzed in this work. The alumina addition has dropped the zirconia strength, although it caused improvement in other properties

The cells unitaria of the solid oxide fuel cell are separated by means of interconnects, which serve as electrical contact between the cells. Lanthanum Chromite (LaCrO3) has been the most common material used as interconnect in solid oxide fuel cells. Reducing the operating temperature around 800 º C of cells to solid oxide fuel make possibilite the use of metallic interconnects as an alternative to ceramic LaCrO3. Metallic interconnects have advantages over ceramic interconnects such as high thermal conductivity, electricity, good ductility, low cost, good physical and mechanical properties. In this work evaluate the thermo-mechanical properties of the metallic substrate and coated metallic substrate with the ceramic LaCrO3 film via spray-pyrolysis, in order to demonstrate the feasibility of using this material as a component of a fuel cell solid oxide. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, oxidation behavior, mechanical strength, optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X-ray diffraction proved the formation phase of the LaCrO3 on the metallic substrate and the identification of the phases formed after the oxidative test and mechanical strength at high temperature. The oxidation behavior showed the increased oxidation resistance of the coated metallic substrate. It was noted that the mechanical resistance to bending of the coated metallic substrate only increases at room temperature. The optical microscopy (OM) has provided an assessment of both the metallic substrate and the LaCrO3 film deposited on the metal substrate that, in comparison with the micrographs obtained from SEM. The SEM one proved the formation of Cr2O3 layer on the metallic substrate and stability of LaCrO3 film after oxidative test, it can also observe the displacement of the ceramic LaCrO3 film after of mechanical testing and mapping of the main elements as chromium, manganese, oxygen, lanthanum in samples after the thermo-mechanical tests.

In this work have been studied the preparation, characterization and kinetic study of decomposition of the polymerizing agent used in the synthesis under non-isothermal condition ceramics PrMO3 of general formula (M = Co and Ni). These materials were obtained starting from the respective metal nitrates, as a cations source, and making use of gelatin as polymerizing agent. The powders were calcined at temperatures of 500°C, 700°C and 900°C and characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG / DTG/ DTA), Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Temperature Programmed Reduction (TPR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The perovskite phase was detected in all the X-rays patterns. In the infrared spectroscopy observed the oxide formation as the calcination temperature increases with the appearance of the band metal - oxygen. The images of SEM revealed uniform distribution for the PrCoO3 and particles agglomerated as consequence of particle size for PrNiO3. From the data of thermal analysis, the kinetics of decomposition of organic matter was employed using the kinetics methods called Model Free Kinetics and Flynn and Wall, in the heating ratios 10, 20 and 30° C.min-1 between room temperature and 700°C. Finally, been obtained the values of activation energy for the region of greatest decomposition of organic matter in samples that were determined by the degree of conversion (α)
