Patentes patéticas

The objective of this project is to publish a book of scientific dissemination aimed at the subject of intellectual or industrial property, in particular patent, and its approval process. Based on a series of weekly blog posts published by its author, Patentes Patéticas use scientific, literary journalism and humour techniques to analyze a selection of U.S. patents that stand out for their questionable utility and criticize the number of patents granted as a metric of technological innovation in a country

Sílabas métricas em Terenciano Mauro, De Syllabis, 997-1299

This monograph addresses to the study of Latin metrical notions and concepts as showed in the volume VI of Heinrich Keil’s work, entitled Grammatici Latini (GL): Scriptores Artis Metricae. From that book, it was chosen Terentianus Maurus’s work for corpus, particularly the excerpt between verses 997 and 1299 of De Syllabis, a part of Terentianus’s De Litteris, De Syllabis, De Metris, which is a metric manual written in verses. Until now, there are only three translations of that text into modern languages: two in Italian (one of them was used for comparison with the translation prepared for this monograph) and a French one. That work still contains many reference notes whenever Terentianus Maurus uses ancient authors to demonstrate his explanations on Metrics. Thus this research intends to join in other analysis made on Latin metrical manuals that have already been translated or are still going to be, as well as to notice the importance and the specific value of meter in ancient poetry

A fragmentação espacial fitogeográfica e a proposta dos corredores ecológicos

This paper aims to study the proposal of ecological corridors as integration solution spaces that present fragmentation of vegetation. The geographic space is composed of physical and human characteristics and interrelation between the different variables result in different landscapes. The landscape ecology provides an understanding of the heterogeneous landscape, which combines the space and ecosystem components. The spatial fragmentation of vegetation and is often the result of a number of factors. This new landscape composition presents different forms of economic exploitation of the soil (agriculture, pasture). The corridors are considered optional connection of plant debris, providing greater flow of species of fauna and flora reconstituting somehow Ecosystem site. The research aims to propose the restoration of an area devoid of natural plant its constitution, becoming restoration tool in a particular area of vegetation fragmented

Via Silva percurso cultural e midiateca José Antônio da Silva são José do Rio Preto - SP

Com base nos estudos das obras pictóricas e literárias do artista José Antônio da Silva, bem como de alguns lugares que marcaram sua história na cidade de São José do Rio Preto, foram identificados alguns pontos importantes que nos ajudam a compreender melhor a representatividade da figura desse artista para a cidade, principalmente em uma época de importantes mudanças socioeconômicas, no que diz respeito à modernidade “imposta” a partir da década de 1950. Os principais pontos identificados se concentram ao longo de um eixo, denominado no trabalho como Via Silva. A proposta do trabalho é conectar esses pontos, por meio de um percurso cultural urbano, transformando-os em paradas. O objetivo desse percurso, além de exibir a produção artística de José Antônio da Silva, é fazer ver, por meio da conexão física e simbólica entre esses pontos, a memória dos elementos formadores da cultura local, que por muito tempo e até hoje insistem em ser apagados ou esquecidos pela sociedade riopretense. Ou seja, é construir uma memória em movimento através de um percurso com paradas em lugares que dialogam com a pintura de Silva e com sua marcante passagem pela cidade - principalmente em uma época em que a cultura caipira se manifestava de maneira mais forte. Dentro desse percurso é proposto, além de intervenções e/ou diretrizes para cada ponto, o projeto da Midiateca José Antônio da Silva

Poluição atmosférica e paisagem urbana no município de São Paulo

This paper proposes an analysis of two major polluting elements of the atmosphere of São Paulo city, carbon monoxide (CO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). This study was performed through analysis of data on the quality of air, by means of published reports and records obtained by experiment using measuring rate monitor for CO2. Atmospheric data were collected and sorted. From this work it was possible to identify the concentration of carbon dioxide in the center of São Paulo on September 14, 2012 using the infrared gas analyzer (IRGA). From the ratios of carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide spatially analyzed could identify major emitters by comparing records of pollutants and their origin. The analysis makes it possible to map the intensity of air pollution in urban areas, identifying the polluting elements, their issuers and thereby contributes to the current understanding of atmospheric features, bringing a geographical spatial analysis of air pollutants in São Paulo, contributing to awareness of vulnerabilities, enabling a useful tool for planning and maintenance of the urban environment related public policies

Os movimentos nas redes e em redes: das manifestações internacionais ao Movimento Prudente

Neste trabalho apresentamos uma leitura sobre o processo de articulação dos movimentos em redes e do uso das redes sociais pelos movimentos socioespaciais que mais se destacaram no mundo nos últimos cinco anos. Tendo suas bases nos marcos conceituais de movimentos socioespacial, movimentos socioterritorial, Rede e Redes Sociais, remontamos ao processo de formação da Via Campesina e das manifestações na Primavera Árabe, M12M, M15M, Occupy Wall Street, Movimento Passe Livre e o Movimento Prudente na escala local. Analisar e comparar estes movimentos e suas manifestações nos permitiu identificar a conexão entre a difusão de informações nas redes sociais e a materialização das manifestações no espaço público. Destaca-se que o uso destas tem acarretado em uma nova dinâmica não só na difusão de manifestação, mas também na realização de trabalho de base, caracterizando-se como um importante espaço de socialização política da atualidade

Edgar Allan Poe, Machado de Assis e Julio Cortázar: três visões do conto em conjunção

Based on the essay Kafka y sus precursores, by Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), the present essay looks for coinciding views from Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), Machado de Assis (1839-1908), and Julio Cortázar (1914-1984) on thatliterary genre. A possible connection between the three writers, regarded asmasters of the short story, is suggested having the Borgean essay as a startingpoint, while emphasizing the similarities of their views on what guides theartistic elaboration of the short stories. The confirmed relationship between Poeand Machado de Assis, and between Poe and Cortázar are emphasized, openinga door to the possibility of also thinking of a close relationship between Machadode Assis and Cortázar.Keywords:Short story; Compared Literature, Edgar Allan Poe, Jorge Luis Borges, JulioCortázar.

Aplicações do fluxo de Ricci à teoria da relatividade geral: estudo dos buracos negros

The flow of Ricci is an analytical tool, and a similar equation for heat geometry, a diffusive process which acts on a variety of metrics Riemannian and thus can be used in mathematics to understand the topology of varieties and also in the study geometric theories. Thus, the Ricci curvature plays an important role in the General Theory of Relativity, characterized as a geometric theory, which is the dominant term in the Einstein field equations. The present work has as main objectives to develop and apply Ricci flow techniques to general relativity, in this case, a three-dimensional asymptotically flat Riemannian metric as a set of initial data for Einstein equations and establish relations and comparisons between them.

Utilização do modelo da barganha de Nash na seleção de carteiras

This paper discussed the model of Nash bargaining (NASH, 1950, 1953), which its arbitration function is invariant for the linear transformations. A more robust model was proposed with respect to the incommensurable effect. The result obtained by the optimization process was not influenced by the units or the amplitude values of these measures. The risk and the return is measured in portfolios of assets and defined a risk metric, return and a method to handle the risk and return. For this, we made a review on the main characteristics of Brazilian industry funds and their evolution over the past years, in addition to treating on the risk in the financial market, the importance of portfolio selection and the Markowitz Model. Are made closing remarks, an analysis of the results, some suggests, concerns and how such concerns can be improved and / or explored in future studies

Proposição de uma prática experimental significativa em aulas de física

A remarkable characteristic of the physics subject is the abstraction ability needed during the learning process, which means a non-trivial comprehension and understanding. If the students could not link the themes learned in this subject with observable effects, physics would tend to be a group of mathematical formulas to be memorized. In general, it creates a distance between the student and the subject, and also a prejudice vision of the physics, sometimes for the whole life. Beyond this particular characteristics of physics, the education deals with a source of distraction reinforced by the popularization of mobile access such as cellphones and tablets. The traditional role played by the teacher becomes weak to attract student’s attention. It is necessary that the classes could be planned in such way to achieve three goals: attract student attention, link analytical concepts with real effects and, the most important, gives to the student the ability to use the learned concepts as the key to develop new knowledge. In this work, we present a research based in some experiments used in a CBEF (Brazilian magazine about physical education) and develop an activity consistent with the aims to be reached. To prepare of the experimental activity, we based on Piaget and Vygotsky theories. This work aimed to developed a theoretical research to obtain a didactical activity that deals with the current challenges of the society
