This experiment aim was to evaluate the contamination of the trace elements (TE) arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, lead, selenium, and zinc considered in the CONAMA resolution 375 after 13 years long using sewage sludge (SS) as fertilizer in two soils: an Eutroferric Clayed Red Latosol (Rhodic Eutrudox - RE) and a Dystrophic Red Latosol (Typic Haplorthox - TH). Experiment in the field under maize cultivation had four treatments (0, 5, 10, and 20 t of SS ha(-1), dry weight), five replications and an experimental design in randomized blocks. The agrochemicals (dolomitic limestone, single superphosphate, and potassium chloride), SS, soils, and the certified reference materials were digested according to the USEPA 3051A method and the chemical elements were quantified by ICP OES. The TE contents found in the agrochemicals used should not cause immediate environmental impact. The higher TE values were found in the RE and they did not reach the agricultural (more stringent) Investigation Level (IL) yet, according to 420 CONAMA resolution. Persisting the actual SS fertilization amount applied in the soil and the TE concentration in the SS is foreseen that Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn will be the first elements to reach the IL in the RE.

The solar energy is far the largest source of energy available in earth and has attracted for milleniuns, the attention and interest for a rational use. The solar energy which strikes the Earth in one hour is bigger than the whole consume of energy in Earth in one year. Among the forms of transformation of this clean, renewable energy, the electrical conversion, photovoltaic cells, have the materials based on silicon or germanium semiconductors due to its technology and production processes involved still have a high production cost. An alternative to this solar cell is based on a synthetic dye and a semiconductor nanocrystalline TiO2, titanium dioxide, called DSC (Dye-Sensitized Cells), which have a cost of up to 80% lower than silicon cells

A Ilustração Científica é um trabalho que consiste na representação fiel de um material biológico determinado, respeitando-se todas as medidas, proporções e contraste de cores, mesmo que em preto e branco. Por isso, a capacidade de observação é uma qualidade indispensável para que se tenha um bom resultado. Podem ser desenhos de materiais vivos, extintos, arqueológicos e até processos cirúrgicos e devem ser claro em significado, não poluído e que não provoque nenhum tipo de incompreensão ou dúvidas. Ela é altamente utilizada no meio acadêmico tendo um vasto campo de aplicação, variando desde trabalhos mais simples e esquemáticos aos mais complexos com alto nível de acabamento e detalhamento. Independentemente à técnica, as ilustrações científicas ainda são uma ferramenta de extrema importância e de grande utilização, sendo muito solicitadas por pesquisadores, que desejam enriquecer seus trabalhos, torná-los mais explicativos, mais claros, e mais didáticos. Por mais que se tenha a possibilidade das fotografias modernas, um desenho empregando técnicas tradicionais como acabamento é totalmente indispensável, já que a foto, por mais sofisticada e cheia de recursos que possua a máquina, não consegue transmitir todos os detalhes e estruturas que se deseja em uma mesma fotografia. O artista tem a liberdade de montar uma prancha com aquilo que o pesquisador precisa, usando sua percepção visual e destreza para reproduzir com exatidão o material em questão. Recursos digitais, ao contrário do que muitos acreditam, não tiraram o espaço das técnicas tradicionais, mas veio como mais uma opção de ferramenta de trabalho que, aliás, para usá-la é necessário saber desenhar igualmente àquele que não se utiliza desse recurso. O tempo passou, as sociedades mudaram e as representações...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

The use of stable isotopes in Brazil is being improved, mainly through research conducted at main universities in the country. Some applications in health allow to studying, for example, processes involving synthesis and protein degradation, energy expenditure, body composition, kinetics of vitamins, mineral absorption and diagnose diseases related to Helicobacter pylori. The big motivation is to encourage the growth of investments in health in the few centers that have mass spectrometers in Brazil, as the technique is harmless to humans, in other words, no has problems to use it like when you use radioactive isotopes

In materials science, the search for technological improvements have become one of the main subject of study of researchers. This is especially true in the case of materials with reduced sizes, in the nanometer scale. Important phenomena to be studied in these cases are the desorption and adsorption on two-dimensional materials, such as graphene. These phenomena are of great importance in the study of interactions between organic films, synthesis or catalysis of reactions on surfaces and even in the creation of nanoscale devices [1, 2, 3, 4]. Between the most important topics related to these phenomena are the storage of gases in low-dimensional systems and the study of nanostructured fuel cells or batteries. In this context we used two different parametrizations for the reactive force field ReaxFF to study the potential barriers and reaction barriers of our system. First we made a study about the Reaction Barriers and Energy Barriers for bonds between graphene and the following atoms: sulfur, fluorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. It is important to have this information in order to make it possible to understand how these atoms react with the graphene sheet. Subsequently, we calculate reaction barriers for mixed structures where fluorine is a fixed element bonded to graphene and other element is simultaneously bonded to graphene. This other element (N, O, H or S) is varied in its possible relative positions (ortho, meta and para in relation to fluorine in either: the same side and in the opposite side of the graphene membrane)

O trabalho teve como objetivo principal identificar a produção de enzimas xilanolíticas de um fungo encontrado no solo amazônico a partir do seu crescimento em diferentes fontes de carbono e em dois tipos de meio de cultivo: meio semi sólido e meio líquido Vogel. No mei semi sólido o crescimento do fungo aconteceu durante 7 dias, já no meio líquido foi feito em quatro tempos diferentes: 24, 36, 48 e 52 horas. As fontes de carbono usadas para ambos os meios foram: Após o crescimento os meios foram filtrados e foram realizadas a dosagem de proteína pelo método de Lowry e a determinação da atividade específica. Os filtrados foram concentrados através de tratamento com caulin, diálise e precipitação com acetona. Com os filtrados selecionados pode-se determinar o pH e a temperatura ótimas para a xilanase através de curvas de pH e temperatura. O fungo estudado produz enzimas do complexo xilanolítico, sendo que os melhores resultados foram encontrados usando a xilana no meio líquido e o sabugo de milho no meio semi sólido. Para a enzima encontrada o pH de atividade ótima é no valor 5,0 e foram encontrados dois picos de temperaturas ótima, na faixa de 30ºC e 60ºC, o que pode indicar a presença de mais de uma enzima do complexo xilanolítico

The search for new methods of manufacture of glass-ceramics with controlled porosity and permeability is interesting of the industrial and commercial point of view, and a challenge of great complexity. Porous glass-ceramics produced by sintering and crystallization of glasses can find applications, for example, as filters, materials with bactericidal properties, bio-implants, as catalytic and enzymes supports, among others. An alternative and low cost method of ceramic manufacture reaching different levels of porosity, for diverse purposes, is the conformation assisted by addition of starch, known as consolidation with starch. The objective of this project is to study the process of conformation with starch for making porous glass-ceramics from a commercial glass in the system Na2O-CaO-SiO2, whose kinetics of sintering by viscous flow and surface crystallization are known. The method of conformation with starches is innovative for glass-ceramics and its development opens the way for obtaining a new class of materials. We found a possible route for the production of porous compacts of glass particles, from the powder preparation to the removal of starch. It was observed that a glass powder obtained by dry milling in a ball mill with alumina balls for 24 h, afterwards mixed with water in an eccentric ball mill for 2 h, without the addition of a deflocculant, and subsequently mixed with starch also in an eccentric ball mill for 5 min resulted in slurries stable against sedimentation

In recent years the aeronautic industries has increased investment in areas of technological research aiming at materials that offer better performance, safety, weight reduction and fuel consumption. For this reason the most studied materials are polymeric materials, due to their higher mechanical strength and higher stiffness. This work evaluated characteristics of two composite laminates produced from the same process, but they differed only in regions where the resin was injected and the vacuum position. The composite laminates were SC-79 resin reinforced with glass fiber fabric (plain weave) processed via VARTM. For this reason the material was subjected to mechanical tests such as: tensile, and fatigue following standards ASTM D 3039 and ASTM D 3479, respectively. The latter was observed the S-N curve. It was performed the ultrassonic C-scan analysis to check impregnation of the fiber. Considering that the process was the same for the two laminates, with small variations in the injection and in vacum ports, it was expected to find similar characteristics

The small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique has been used with very much versatility and success in the structural characterization of nanostructured materials. The present work deals with a study of the principles of the SAXS technique and of some classical models employed in the structural characterization of nanostructured materials. Particularly, the study of the models and of the associated methodologies is applied to a set of samples of silica gels, of varied typical structures, prepared in the Laboratório de Novos Materiais of the Departamento de Física of the IGCE. The work discusses in an introductory chapter the principles of the SAXS technique and the foundation of classical models often used in the structural characterization of materials. The classical models and the associated methodologies were applied to a variety of silica gel structures. The studies include: i) the scattering from a system of particles - Guinier's law; ii) the asymptotic scattering from a two-phase system - Porod's law; iii) systematic deviation from Porod's law - Surface Fractal; iv) heterogeneities in solids with random size distribution - DAB Model; and v) the scattering from mass fractal structures. The analyses were carried out from experimental SAXS data obtained in several opportunities at the Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron (LNLS)

O aumento do estresse oxidativo tem sido positivamente associado às doenças cardiometabólicas, como hipertensão arterial. Por outro lado, o exercício físico aeróbio de moderada intensidade promove efeitos benéficos tanto na prevenção quanto no tratamento das doenças cardiometabólicas. Os efeitos benéficos estão relacionados à maior produção de óxido nítrico (NO) e/ou sua maior biodisponibilidade e aumento na expressão de enzimas antioxidantes. Sendo assim, o objetivo do trabalho foi analisar o efeito do treinamento físico aeróbio (TFA) na intensidade da máxima fase estável de lactato (MFEL) sobre parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios e cardiovasculares, atividade de enzimas antioxidantes superóxido dismutase (SOD) e catalase, e concentração de nitrito/nitrato (NOx-) e malondialdeído (MDA) em adultos acima dos 40 anos de idade. Fizeram parte do estudo 55 voluntários normotensos (NT – 49,7±0,6 anos) e 32 voluntários hipertensos (HT – 52,7±1,1 anos). O desenho experimental foi realizado através do ensaio clínico controlado cruzado por dezesseis semanas. Os voluntários permaneceram oito semanas sem a realização de TFA, sendo realizadas avaliações antes (período inicial – PI) e após esse período (período intermediário – PINT). Nas oito semanas seguintes todos foram submetidos a 3 sessões/semana de TFA na intensidade da MFEL em esteira ergométrica e após foi novamente realizada a avaliação (período final – PF). As avaliações consistiram de medições da pressão arterial (PA) de repouso (método auscultatório), frequência cardíaca (FC) de repouso e exercício (Polar® - RSX-800CX), testes de VO2 máximo (teste de 1 milha) e coletas de sangue (12 horas de jejum noturno). Amostras de plasma e soro foram utilizadas para análises da atividade da SOD, catalase, concentrações NOx- e MDA. O protocolo para determinação da MFEL foi de acordo com Beneke et al (2003). Para análise estatística foi...
