In this work we have investigated some aspects of the two-dimensional flow of a viscous Newtonian fluid through a disordered porous medium modeled by a random fractal system similar to the Sierpinski carpet. This fractal is formed by obstacles of various sizes, whose distribution function follows a power law. They are randomly disposed in a rectangular channel. The velocity field and other details of fluid dynamics are obtained by solving numerically of the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations at the pore level, where occurs actually the flow of fluids in porous media. The results of numerical simulations allowed us to analyze the distribution of shear stresses developed in the solid-fluid interfaces, and find algebraic relations between the viscous forces or of friction with the geometric parameters of the model, including its fractal dimension. Based on the numerical results, we proposed scaling relations involving the relevant parameters of the phenomenon, allowing quantifying the fractions of these forces with respect to size classes of obstacles. Finally, it was also possible to make inferences about the fluctuations in the form of the distribution of viscous stresses developed on the surface of obstacles.

Registration of point clouds captured by depth sensors is an important task in 3D reconstruction applications based on computer vision. In many applications with strict performance requirements, the registration should be executed not only with precision, but also in the same frequency as data is acquired by the sensor. This thesis proposes theuse of the pyramidal sparse optical flow algorithm to incrementally register point clouds captured by RGB-D sensors (e.g. Microsoft Kinect) in real time. The accumulated errorinherent to the process is posteriorly minimized by utilizing a marker and pose graph optimization. Experimental results gathered by processing several RGB-D datasets validatethe system proposed by this thesis in visual odometry and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) applications.

The process mapping is an important tool in the management of organizations, allowing better levels of productivity, quality and reciprocity concerning the implementation and decision-making. It benefits in a clear way the process organization and assures the manager a macro vision of the system. In this sense, the objective of this study is to describe the mapping process as it occurs in the Januario Cicco Maternity School–MEJC. The bibliographic and descriptive research included interviews, observations and researches in many databases. The study analyzed the limiting points of the detected flow trying to find a better comprehension of the flow of patients in the maternity in order to offer the gestors the information necessary to improve the quality of the assistance as well as a general view of the flow of patients and any change detected there. As a result, we believe that the process mapping may become a relevant factor to the organizational management of MEJC, in view that it is an element that can contribute to ease up the management of information studied, considering that the perfect change of information inside a complex system will produce improvements in all spheres of this institution.

The expansion of cultivated areas with genetically modified crops (GM) is a worldwide phenomenon, stimulating regulatory authorities to implement strict procedures to monitor and verify the presence of GM varieties in agricultural crops. With the constant growing of plant cultivating areas all over the world, consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated food also increased. Aflatoxins correspond to a class of highly toxic contaminants found in agricultural products that can have harmful effects on human and animal health. Therefore, the safety and quality evaluation of agricultural products are important issues for consumers. Lateral flow tests (strip tests) is a promising method for the detection both proteins expressed in GM crops and aflatoxins-contaminated food samples. The advantages of this technique include its simplicity, rapidity and cost-effective when compared to the conventional methods. In this study, two novel and sensitive strip tests assay were developed for the identification of: (i) Cry1Ac and Cry8Ka5 proteins expressed in GM cotton crops and; (ii) aflatoxins from agricultural products. The first strip test was developed using a sandwhich format, while the second one was developed using a competitive format. Gold colloidal nanoparticles were used as detector reagent when coated with monoclonal antibodies. An anti-species specific antibody was sprayed at the nitrocellulose membrane to be used as a control line. To validate the first strip test, GM (Bollgard I® e Planta 50- EMBRAPA) and non-GM cotton leaf (Cooker 312) were used. The results showed that the strip containing antibodies for the identification of Cry1Ac and Cry8Ka5 proteins was capable of correctly distinguishing between GM samples (positive result) and non-GM samples (negative result), in a high sensitivity manner. To validate the second strip test, artificially contaminated soybean with Aspergillus flavus (aflatoxin-producing fungus) was employed. Food samples, such as milk and soybean, were also evaluated for the presence of aflatoxins. The strip test was capable to distinguish between samples with and without aflatoxins samples, at a sensitivity concentration of 0,5 μg/Kg. Therefore, these results suggest that the strip tests developed in this study can be a potential tool as a rapid and cost-effective method for detection of insect resistant GM crops expressing Cry1Ac and Cry8Ka5 and aflatoxins from food samples.

O advento da internet causou uma revolução na forma como a sociedade se relaciona. A consolidação das mídias sociais na ambiência digital acentuou o poder das mudanças e forçou a comunicação a rever paradigmas. O imediatismo e a velocidade com que a informação se propaga num processo simétrico de mão dupla – emissor e receptor – mudou a forma de trabalhar, pensar e planejar. O presente trabalho traz uma pesquisa com profissionais de comunicação e analisa como o fator prazo tem impactado no processo do planejamento de longo prazo – tradicionalmente anual – das ações voltadas para o ambiente digital. A pesquisa baseou-se em amplo referencial teórico das áreas de comunicação, marketing, redes e mídias sociais, tecnologia, administração, além de institutos de pesquisas e empresas. A fim de descrever as experiências vividas pelos profissionais, empreendemos ainda uma pesquisa qualitativa com entrevistas em profundidade, com amostra não probabilística, com foco nas disciplinas de marketing e propaganda e relações públicas. Os resultados apontam para um aprendizado ainda sendo conquistado, dia após dia, a partir de tentativas e erros, onde a preocupação dos profissionais fica dividida entre o prazo de antecedência com que é feito um planejamento e a obrigatoriedade de sua revisão contínua.

As nanofibras produzidas através de biopolímeros oriundos de materiais biológicos têm tomado espaço no âmbito mundial, estes podem ter sua origem em compostos como a proteína animal, por exemplo, as proteínas de pescado. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo geral desenvolver nanofibras de isolado proteico de Bijupirá (Rachycentron canadum). O isolado proteico de bijupirá (IPB) foi obtido utilizando processo de variação de pH para solubilizar e isolar proteínas. O IPB obtido foi caracterizado quanto sua composição química proximal e suas propriedades físicoquímicas, estruturais e funcionais. O rendimento do IPB foi de 98,17% de proteína, em base seca. A maior solubilidade e a maior capacidade de retenção de água (CRA) do IPB foram obtidas em pH 11 e 21,9 mL.g-1 de proteína, respectivamente. Os perfis eletroforéticos revelaram massas moleculares características de proteínas miofibrilares (miosina e actina). Os principais picos identificados pelas análises de Espectroscopia na Região do Infravermelho (FTIR) são provenientes de ligações peptídicas (ligações amida), como Amida I e II. Os maiores pontos de fusão e de degradação do IPB foram de 259,1°C e 378°C, respectivamente, obtendo assim, um isolado proteico com elevada estabilidade térmica. As nanofibras foram desenvolvidas pela técnica de electrospinnig. Foram preparadas soluções poliméricas utilizando 1% (p/v) de óxido de polietileno (PEO) e 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 e 6% (p/v) de IPB. Os parâmetros utilizados no processo de electrospinning como: potencial elétrico, distância da ponta do coletor a agulha e a taxa de fluxo da solução foram fixados em 16,7 kV, 15 cm, e 150 µL.h-1 , respectivamente. Os efeitos do solvente e a adição de um biopolímero comercial na capacidade de formação e morfologia das nanofibras foram estudados. Em relação ao efeito do solvente na solubilização das proteínas, o processo de electrospinning foi favorecido quando utilizado o ácido fórmico 85% (v/v), como este solvente orgânico promove a formação de estruturas helicoidais aleatórias e, consequentemente, um aumento no emaranhado de biopolímeros. A adição do biopolímero PEO proporcionou melhor viscosidade às soluções de IPB e o desenvolvimento das nanofibras. A morfologia analisada por Microscopia eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) das nanofibras obtidas com 5 e 4% (p/v) de IPB e 1% (/v) de PEO foi de 205 ± 82 nm e 476 ± 107, respectivamente.

Os trabalhos publicados sobre estudos conducentes a obtenção de propriedades da litosfera na Península Ibérica, indicam uma anomalia na espessura da litosfera no SW da Península referida. Um dos parâmetros utilizados nos modelos referidos, é o valor do fluxo de calor característico da região. O trabalho que propomos apresentar consiste na análise detalhada dos dados de fluxo de calor obtidos no sul de Portugal (Zona Sul Portuguesa e parte da Zona de Ossa Morena ). Os valores obtidos são relativamente elevados, devido a gradientes de temperatura elevados e/ou valores elevados de condutividade térmica, não sendo possível obter um valor de fluxo de calor característico de toda a região estudada. Será feita uma análise detalhada dos valores obtidos, tentando relacioná-los com características próprias dos locais onde foram realizadas as medições.
