Análise do comportamento térmico de paredes de madeira

This study consists in the observation and evaluation of the thermal behavior and distribution of wood composite walls, MDF – Medium Density Fiberboard, HDF – High Density Fiberboard, OSB – Oriented Strand Board and EGP – Edge Glued Panel. This study had the objective to present the experimental thermal behavior and to verify which one fit the thermal comfort standards for human labor For this work, was developed a thermal chamber, with one interchangeable side, so the wall prototypes would fit for each experiment. We studied walls made of MDF, HDF, OSB and EGP, which one had its own distinct behavior due to the panel construction. The EGP wall had shown the most reliable material for this usage at high temperatures. With this work, it was demonstrated the importance of choice for the right material and construction method for wooden composite walls, because if they were scaled poorly, the people exposed to them would be uncomfortable by the proportionate environment, and the costs for a resizing would be too high

A cor do citrino: efeito de irradiação e tratamento térmico

Quartz crystals under natural or artificial irradiation can acquire dark shades and variations btween smoky, black and brown but when submitted at heat-treatment they can become greenish, yellowish or brownish, called citrine at gem shops. In this work a lot of samples was collected from different places in Brazil (Corinto - MG, Diamantina - MG, Sento Sé - BA and Santana do Araguaia – PA) and at first they were submitted at artificial irradiation resulting in dark colours. After that they were submitted at heat-treatment in differents temperatures and time of exposure to record when color change happened to light colours. It variated according to each origin, temperature, time of expousure and different aluminiun and other chemical elements content. Its was possible to define the ideal conditions to results better colours and related it with geology and chemical quartz composition.

Técnicas associadas à biotecnologia da reprodução para minimizar os efeitos do estresse térmico e aumentar a fertilidade em vacas leiteiras de alta produção

The dairy sector has undergone considerable economic losses due to low fertility rates due to adverse effects of heat stress on reproduction of cows. Genetic selection for increased production, coupled with the expanding dairy to tropical areas of the planet, and global warming has further aggravated the problem of heat stress. The effects of heat stress are multifactorial and act directly or indirectly at various levels of reproductive tissues, resulting in low fertility of cows, which in practice, results in reduced reproductive efficiency in the property, reducing the producers’ profit. Some strategies related to breeding biotechnology such as fixed-time artificial insemination, embryo transfer and use of BST, can minimize these effects and improve the reproductive efficiency of the herd

Direcionamento de peptídeos tolerogênicos da proteína de choque térmico 60 para células dendríticas utilizando anticorpos anti-DEC-205

A indução de tolerância imunológica em situações altamente desejadas como no transplante e em doenças autoimunes permanece um grande desafio para pesquisa científica de tradução. Nesse contexto, o estudo das proteínas do choque térmico (HSPs) e seus peptídeos vêm trazendo informações relevantes sobre o controle da reposta imune. Dados da literatura mostram que alguns de seus peptídeos apresentam propriedades imunorreguladoras, como os peptídeos N3 e N7 da HSP60. Além disso, tem se mostrado que a apresentação de antígenos em contextos específicos por células dendríticas (DCs) pode favorecer o estabelecimento da tolerância imunológica. Dessa forma, o direcionamento dos peptídeos tolerogênicos da HSP60, N3 e N7, in vivo, para DCs, com o intuito de essas células apresentarem esses peptídeos em um contexto imunorregulador, pode induzir um estado de tolerância. Assim, nesse trabalho, tivemos como objetivo a produção de anticorpos (Acs) contra o receptor DEC-205 de DCs conjugados com os peptídeos N3 e N7 da HSP60. Esses Acs, ao se ligarem ao DEC-205 nas DCs, podem ser fagocitados, processados e por fim apresentados a células T em um contexto imunorregulador. Para tal, foram realizadas transfecções de células HEK-293T e CHO com plasmídeos codificando as cadeias leve e pesada dos respectivos Acs a fim de se obter essas proteínas recombinantes. Podemos observar que as células HEK apresentaram uma produção mais eficiente dos Acs quando comparadas com as células CHO (120 vs 30 ng/ml, respectivamente), apesar disso a produção dos Acs ficou abaixo do esperado impossibilitando a realização ensaios in vivo. Além disso, realizamos um ensaio de ligação do Ac anti-DEC-N7 a superfície de DCs e observamos que os Acs produzidos apresentam capacidade de se ligarem a superfície dessas células. Concluímos que os anticorpos recombinantes anti-DEC-205 são capazes... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Assembleias fitoplanctônicas no gradiente longitudinal barragem-jusante do reservatório de Itaipu, rio Paraná (Brasil/Paraguai)

The freshwater phytoplankton, responsible for a significant part of primary production in rivers and lakes, is of great importance for matter and energy available to other trophic levels of structuring aquatic food chains. In recent decades, the construction of dams, especially for the generation of electricity, produced changes not only in physical and chemical characteristics of rivers, but also in biocoenosis of these ecosystems. Thus, research is needed to expand the basic knowledge about these environments and subsidize actions appropriate conservation and management. Considering that lotic environments are relatively little studied, and the river-reservoir interaction, the work aims to analyze the limnological conditions and assemblies phytoplankton along the gradient established by the Itaipu reservoir and downstream stretch of the Paraná River. During two periods of the year, winter and summer, we analyzed nine sampling stations: one in lentic environment (the dam), six on the Parana River (each 5 km), at the mouth of a river Monday and another at the mouth of the Iguazu river. The phytoplankton community was composed of 315 taxa, with the class Bacillariophyceae most specious. At every point the richness was higher in summer and with a longitudinal trend in the increasing points after falling after the dam and the contribution of the tributaries. The number of taxa common to the three rivers was low in both study periods. The higher taxa can be explained by the variety of environments sampled, different residence times of water and nutrient concentrations, whereas the rivers Iguazu and Monday suffer high human influence. The greater abundance of organisms in the dam, in both periods, it should be the class Cryptophyceae contributing over 75% of total phytoplankton in point. In cluster analysis (composition and abundance)...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

In the treatment of thermal-treatment there was an apparent treatment there was an apparent increase in...

Análise teórica e experimental de uma ventaneira de alto forno, visando seu comportamento térmico e fluidodinâmico

In this work, it was studied the thermal and fluid dynamic behavior from theorical and experimental point of view of a blast furnace tuyere. The tuyere is responsible for the hot air insuflation into the blast furnace. The parameter used in the comparison was the difference between the cooling water inlet and outlet temperatures. There were used forced convection correlations inside circular sections with adequations for non circular sections. Based on operations dates of flux and thermal loads it was possible to model numerically the tuyere, and, since it was obtained the wall temperatures, estimate the conduction and convection resistances and the heat flux through the walls in contact with the water. The total heat fluxes from wall to water were applied to the energy conservation equation where could be estimated the theorical temperature variation. Compared to the real value, the theorical value presented a difference of 0,2 °C. Considering that the boundary conditions around the tuyere are transitories and that your channels have some rugosity irregularities we can consider the estimation method for cooling system coherent with the real operational parameters

Analise mecânica e microestrutural em estruturas tubulares aeronáuticas soldadas de aço ABNT 4130

Airplane Motor Cradles have a complex geometry, since they require different conbinations between different tubes and TIG welded in several angles. In T-25 aircraft and Universal T-27 Tucano (EMBRAER / FAB), besides having to bear the engine balance, these components maintain fixed the nose landing gear in another extremity. They are considered critical to flight safety, and for this reason, the aviation standards are extremely rigid in their production, imposing a zero index” of defects on the final weld metal quality. These structures may be containing an historical of welding repairs, whose effects on their structural integrity are not computed. In this work we analyzed the standardised AISI 4130 steel and the raw steel of tubes to the Airplane Motor Cradles. First of all, microscopy and microanalysis of the base steel, then we analyzed the effects of the TIG weld. Tensile testing was conducted to measure the difference between the mechanical properties of standardised steel and without this treatment
