Dispositivo Médico-Cirúrgico Eletromecânico para Laparoscopia

Os avanços realizados nas técnicas cirúrgicas têm permitido que o tempo de recuperação outrora contado em dias ou até semanas tenha sido reduzido para horas, com os pacientes a saírem do hospital pelo seu próprio pé pouco tempo após a intervenção. Tal resulta numa redução do tempo de recuperação, menos desconforto para o paciente e consequente redução dos custos associados ao internamento. A redução nos tempos de recuperação é fundamentalmente devida às técnicas cirúrgicas minimamente invasivas que assentam sobretudo na utilização de instrumentos laparoscópicos. A anestesia é agora muitas vezes local ou apenas uma sedação, ficando o paciente sob efeito da anestesia durante um período menor quando comparado com as técnicas tradicionais. O desenvolvimento de dispositivos laparoscópicos que permitam ao cirurgião maior manobrabilidade associada a uma atuação simples, sem os movimentos invertidos inerentes aos instrumentos tradicionais, irão permitir realizar intervenções que outrora seriam realizadas com as técnicas tradicionais, de forma segura e menos intrusiva reduzindo o risco de complicações pós-operatórias. Os dispositivos laparoscópicos mais avançados associados a certas técnicas cirúrgicas, permitem a realização de intervenções complexas e de grande minucia através de apenas um orifício LESS (Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery), ou no caso de ser realizada com robô, R-LESS (Robotic laparoendoscopic single-site surgery); reduzindo de forma ainda mais acentuada o tempo de recuperação e o tamanho da cicatriz. O aumento da manobrabilidade dos dispositivos laparoscópicos é obtida através da inclusão de sistemas eletromecânicos relativamente complexos que tentam transpor o movimento da mão para a pinça dentro do paciente. No entanto, a adição destes sistemas podem tornar a manipulação desses dispositivos pouco intuitiva e pouco ergonómica, sobretudo se forem usados com apenas uma das mãos. Por outro lado, quando a atuação deixa de ser realizada de forma puramente mecânica e direta o cirurgião perde sensibilidade da força que está a ser exercida pelo dispositivo já que esta passa a ser efetuada através de um sistema assistido, como por exemplo motores elétricos, sistemas hidráulicos ou pneumáticos. Estes fatores resultam que a aceitação destes dispositivos pelos cirurgiões não tenha sido fácil. Para contornar este problema, o dispositivo desenvolvido para além de grande capacidade de manobra, oferece atuação natural e portabilidade. Contempla uma componente háptica de atuação hidráulica que ajudará o cirurgião a melhor perceci-onar o que se passa na ponta da pinça. Como o movimento da pinça é controlado por um sistema eletromecânico é possível escalonar a amplitude do movimento de entrada e reduzir o tremor fisiológico das mãos. A pinça e respetiva haste é convencional podendo ser usados os trocarts já existentes. Foi desenvolvido um protótipo virtual com todos os componentes necessários para um funcionamento integral. No então não foram realizados protótipos físicos de todos os componentes, nem se sabe como os diferentes módulos interagem entre si.

Elaboração de pós de ferrita de cobalto, CoFe2O4, nanoestruturados e hierarquizados: influência da morfologia sobre a detecção e oxidação catalítica de gases poluentes

This thesis is part of research on new materials for catalysis and gas sensors more active, sensitive, selective. The aim of this thesis was to develop and characterize cobalt ferrite in different morphologies, in order to study their influence on the electrical response and the catalytic activity, and to hierarchize these grains for greater diffusivity of gas in the material. The powders were produced via hydrothermal and solvothermal, and were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (electron diffraction, highresolution simulations), and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The catalytic and electrical properties were tested in the presence of CO and NO2 gases, the latter in different concentrations (1-100 ppm) and at different temperatures (room temperature to 350 ° C). Nanooctahedra with an average size of 20 nm were obtained by hydrothermal route. It has been determined that the shape of the grains is mainly linked to the nature of the precipitating agent and the presence of OH ions in the reaction medium. By solvothermal method CoFe2O4 spherical powders were prepared with grain size of 8 and 20 nm. CoFe2O4 powders exhibit a strong response to small amounts of NO2 (10 ppm to 200 ° C). The nanooctahedra have greater sensitivity than the spherical grains of the same size, and have smaller response time and shorter recovery times. These results were confirmed by modeling the kinetics of response and recovery of the sensor. Initial tests of catalytic activity in the oxidation of CO between temperatures of 100 °C and 350 °C show that the size effect is predominant in relation the effect of the form with respect to the conversion of the reaction. The morphology of the grains influence the rate of reaction. A higher reaction rate is obtained in the presence of nanooctahedra. In order to improve the detection and catalytic properties of the material, we have developed a methodology for hierarchizing grains which involves the use of carbonbased templates.

Metodologia para implantação de um sistema de disposição de rejeitos em minério de ferro na região do semiárido: estudo de caso

Tailings dams are structures that aims to retain the solid waste and water from mining processes. Its analysis and planning begins with searching of location for deployment, step on which to bind all kinds of variables that directly or indirectly influence the work, such as geological, hydrological, tectonic, topographic, geotechnical, environmental, social characteristics, evaluation security risks, among others. Thus, this paper aims to present a study on the most appropriate and secure type of busbar to design a layout structure of iron ore tailings, taking into account all the above mentioned variables. The case study involves the assessment of sites for location of dams of tailings disposal beneficiation of iron mine to be built in Bonito, in the municipality of Jucurutu in Seridó Potiguar. For site selection among alternatives, various aspects of the current state of the art were considered, one that causes the least environmental impact, low cost investment, adding value to the product and especially the safety of the implanted structure mitigates the concern about induced earthquakes as a result of liquefaction wastes somatized by dams in the region, as the tilling of Mina Bonito is located practically in the hydraulic basin dam Armando Ribeiro in environmental protection (APA). The methodology compares induced by dams in the semiarid region with the characteristics of the waste disposal and sterile seismicity, taking into account the enhancement of liquefaction by the action of seismicity in the Mina Bonito region. With the fulcrum in the methodology, we indicated the best busbar type for disposal of tailings from iron ore or combination of them, to be designed and built in semiarid particularly for Mina Bonito. Also presents a number of possible uses for the tailings and in engineering activities, which may cause processing to the common good.

O sistema aquífero Barreiras na região de Parnamirim, RN: uso das águas e potencialidades

The study area is within the Pirangi River Basin, eastern sector of Rio Grande do Norte state, where is located of the Parnamirim city. It has an area of approximately 370 km². Urbanization has developed much fast without an appropriate infrastructure, mainly by the lack of sewage systems, with risks of contamination of groundwater that may cause serious damage to the health of the population. The Barreiras Aquifer System groundwater in the area represents the main source of water supply for urban and rural populations. The use of groundwater occurs without adequate planning and therefore, important recharge areas are being occupied. This study was conducted to quantify the use and evaluation of the potential of groundwater, in order to increase good water quality supply and lower risks of being affected by polluting activities. With these objectives, the following activities were carried out: 268 points of water have been registered; characterization of the lithological, thickness and hydrogeological structure of the Barreiras aquifer, based on the correlation of well logs; and evaluation of hydrodynamic parameters of the aquifer, from the interpretation of results well pumping tests. It was found that the saturated thickness increases from west to east towards the sea, with values ranging from 15,47-56,5 m with an average of 32,45 m. The hydrodynamic parameters using Cooper-Jacob method were: average transmissivity of 5,9x10-3 m²/s and average hydraulic conductivity 2,82x10-4 m/s. The effective porosity is of 15%, obtained by applying Biecinski equation. The potentiometric map shows the main direction of groundwater flow, from west to east, and identifies the recharge areas corresponding to the region of the tablelands of the "Barreiras". The river valleys refer to the discharge areas of the aquifer system. The Recharge was estimated at 253 mm/year, which corresponds to the 16.4% rate of infiltration.

Obtenção e caracterização de um compósito de matriz polimérica com carga de bucha vegetal luffa cylindrica

Composite materials arise from the need for lighter materials and with bigger mechanical and thermal resistance. The difficulties of discard, recycling or reuse are currently environmental concerns and, therefore, they are study object of much researches. In this perspective the feasibility of using loofahs (Luffa Cylindrica) for obtainment of a polymeric matrix composite was studied. Six formulations, with 4, 5 and 6 treated layers and untreated, were tested. The loofahs were treated in boiling water to remove lignins, waxes and impurities present in the fibers. After that, they were dried in a direct exposure solar dryer. For the characterization of the composite, thermal (thermal conductivity, thermal capacity, thermal diffusivity and thermal resistivity), mechanical (tensile and bending resistance) and physicochemical (SEM, XRD, density, absorption and degradation) properties were determined. The proposed composite has as advantage the low fiber density, which is around 0.66 g/cm³ (almost half of the polyester resin matrix), resulting in an average composite density of around 1.17g/cm³, 6.0 % lower in relation to the matrix. The treatment carried out in the loofahs increased the mechanical strength of the composite and decreased the humidity absorption. The composite showed lower mechanical behavior than the matrix for all the formulations. The composite also demonstrated itself to be feasible for thermal applications, with a value of thermal conductivity of less than 0.159 W/m.K, ranking it as a good thermal insulator. For all formulations/settings a low adherence between fibers and matrix occurred, with the presence of cracks, showing the fragility due to low impregnation of the fiber by the matrix. This composite can be used to manufacture structures that do not require significant mechanical strength, such as solar prototypes, as ovens and stoves.
