The increasing demand for alternative fuels lead to the search for solutions to use these fuels in old equipments and bring for new equipments the necessity of alternative fuels based burners. As a solution for these necessity the Gas Interchangeability`s studies came in evidence, because it studies the possibility of changing one fuel for another without changing the initial condition. In integrated industries, as most of steel industries, there is a link between process, the byproducts of one process are used as fuel for other process. There are new conditions for the equipments, that will be developed for these fuels, but even in these industries there will be situations which the byproduct won`t be available, and the process cannot stop. Using the gas interchangeability`s concepts is possible to work with security in both cases. Using alternative fuels in fossil fuel based burners and having a back-up solution for new technology burner. But using these new solutions were verified that there are some cases which the interchangeability`s methods does not work with satisfactory results, and for this reason, this study came to develop a new concept for the Method of Wobbe Index to evaluate the possibility to increase the range of the satisfactory results

Previous studies show that in areas contaminated by fuel spill (NAPL- non-aqueous phase liquids), from operational activities, transport and storage, it was possible to observe a significant decrease of ²²²Rn (radon) gas concentration in the soil, even a non-uniform distribution of this gas in top soil, even with a geological situation was practically homogeneous. These anomalies may be associated with the preference partitioning of radon in NAPLs. This work consists of applying ²²²Rn as an indicator for locating subsurface contamination by NAPLs in an area of the city of Rio Claro (SP) where, according to the “Survey of Contaminated and Rehabilitated Areas in the State of São Paulo (Environmental Sanitation and Technology Company - CETESB), there was, in the year 2007, groundwater contamination from leaks of liquid fuels. The challenges of this research are: Promulgate the use of a new tool with greater efficiency in obtaining results, in addition to generate less impact in half and have less expenditure; disseminate scientific culture promoting greater integration of C&T (culture & technology) between universities and businesses. The emanometric technique to estimate the location, number and interfacial area of NAPL in saturated and non-saturated zone, has the advantage of locating and determining plumes of free phase even when the amount of VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) that reaches the surface is low or non-existent. In addition, the measurement techniques ²²²Rn are quite developed. The results obtained show that, similar to the other studies, the 222Rn soil gas presents an anomalous behavior in the area bounded by NAPL plume, being possible to note a significant deficit in the concentration of the gas in spots where the saturation by NAPLs is still critical. Therefore it is concluded that this tool is really promising, but we must be careful to evaluate the initial conditions of the area, as well as the type of...

Oil is a hydrocarbon mixture of various sizes, including saturated and aromatic compounds. Natural gas is a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons and its main component is methane. In our society, the great demand for these fuels requires fast extraction, transportation and refining, increasing the number of accidents that compromise the environment. Oil is a finite resource and it is necessary to reduce the problems related to the question concerning environmental pollution which has encouraged the search for alternative fuel sources in our country. So today we have two major biofuels: ethanol and biodiesel. Concurrently, many studies have been done directed toward the isolation of microorganisms capable of degrading petrochemical industrial wastes, most of them using as a source of isolation soil and water collected in a contaminated environment. Isolation from alternative substrates has emerged as a new strategy that has provided satisfactory results. In this work, we present the leaf-cutter ants of the Attini tribe as a source for the isolation of micro-fungi with the potential for hydrocarbon degradation. These insects have a social way of life and a highly specialized system of intra and interspecific communication, which is based on the recognition of individuals through volatile chemical compounds, the majority hydrocarbons, stored in their exoskeleton. The micro-environment exoskeleton of Attini ants (genus Atta) used in this work proved to be a rich source of microbial biodiversity, as other studies have found. The flotation isolation technique applied here allowed the achievement of 214 micro-fungi, 118 representatives of the dematiaceous fungi group and 96 hyaline filamentous fungi. They were submitted to toluene degradation tests and at least one strain of each genus presented good results, namely Teratosphaeria, Exophiala, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus...

A definição do termo espécie é uma das problemáticas de maior conturbação nas ciências biológicas, em especial nos estudos de ecologia e evolução, repercutindo até mesmo nas ciências humanas. Esse problema teve seu início desde a época de Aristóteles, na era Clássica da filosofia grega, tendo seu grande auge na era da ciência moderna, resultando no que hoje se conhece por a questão das espécies. Sua grande dificuldade atual não está mais em apenas conseguir definir conceito único e universal para se delimitar uma espécie, mas na grande quantidade de conceitos de espécie que existem atualmente, cada um levando a um aumento ou diminuição de um número total de espécies, dependendo de qual foi escolhido por um dado pesquisador, levando a uma inflação taxonômica. Esse efeito ocorre também na paleoantropologia, que pelo estudo de fósseis tenta delimitar a genealogia evolutiva da espécie humana. Há uma grande discussão sobre o possível pertencimento da espécie Homo neanderthalensis como subespécie de Homo sapiens, em especial devido ao grande aparecimento de evidências científicas que surgem seguidamente ano após ano nos estudos paleoantropológicos sobre Neandertais. Devido a isso, quatro conceitos de espécie foram escolhidos através de suas relevâncias e resurgências em artigos científicos, e descritos em suas raízes conceituais: Conceito Biológico de Espécie, Conceito Evolutivo de Espécie, Conceito Ecológico de Espécie e Conceito de Espécie por Reconhecimento. Juntamente com a descrição generalizada de ambas as espécies citadas, uma análise comparativa foi então realizada, aplicando cada conceito para ambas espécies e verificando como ambas se encaixavam. Desse modo, para o Conceito Biológico de Espécie e Conceito Evolutivo de Espécie, ambas cabem como espécies aparte. Para o Conceito Ecológico de Espécie, os Neandertais podem ser considerados uma subespécie de H. sapiens...

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)

A proposta deste trabalho foi contribuir na continuação e no aprimoramento da rotina do Método de Traços de Fissão, MTF, em zircão e apatita no Grupo de Pesquisa de Detectores de traços nucleares em estados sólidos, DETRANES, DFQB/FCT- UNESP, campus Presidente Prudente. Para isto foram datadas, analisadas e determinadas as idades via o Método de Traços de Fissão, MTF, de amostras de zircão e apatita coletadas na Formação Presidente Prudente pertencente ao Grupo Bauru, Bacia do Paraná. Além de estudos na aplicação geológica, também foram realizados estudos na parte metodológica tais como experimentos para determinar a razão das eficiências de detecção dos traços fósseis e induzidos no zircão e experimentos de annealing (encurtamento do traço em função da temperatura e do tempo) para determinar um valor de L0 com amostras pertencentes ao Grupo Bauru, e compará-lo com a literatura. Quanto às idades obtidas para a formação Presidente temos como intervalo principal 100 e 600 Ma no zircão que pode indicar relação da fonte com três eventos orogênicos específicos: Orogenia Gondwânica (230 – 290 Ma), Orogenia Devoniana (330 – 390 Ma) e Orogenia Brasiliana (400 – 600 Ma). Na apatita temos uma distribuição de idades entre 10 e 70 Ma que, juntamente com os dados de...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
