As reflexões múltiplas presentes nos sismogramas ocultam informações importantes sobre os refletores em subsuperfície e, podem até tornar completamente invisíveis as reflexões primárias, como no caso dos sismogramas marinhos, que muitas das vezes, exibem uma aparência anelar com fortes superposições das reflexões múltiplas, sobre as reflexões primárias. Problema este que tem sido alvo de importantes pesquisas, com o intuito de identificar, atenuar e/ou eliminá-las, através de vários métodos populares. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é a identificação das reflexões múltiplas. Com essa finalidade foi gerada, por modelamento direto, uma seção sísmica, com afastamento nulo (AN), contendo reflexões primárias e múltiplas simétricas de primeira ordem. Posteriormente, foi aplicada a migração cinemática do tipo Kirchhoff para obter o modelo em profundidade, apresentando uma boa recuperação dos refletores, bem como a presença de um refletor fictício, quando comparado com a seção anteriormente especificada. Foi obtida uma seção sísmica AN, do modelo migrado, na qual não é observado o segundo refletor, devido à ausência de contraste de impedância, entre a segunda e terceira camada, sendo este o primeiro indício de que o refletor fictício deste modelo é uma múltipla. Outro indício sobre a existência da múltipla foi a simetria encontrada entre as curvaturas do primeiro e terceiro refletor. Finalmente, foram calculados os parâmetros das frentes de ondas Hipotéticas Ponto de Incidência Normal (PIN) e Normal (N), bem como a velocidade Normal Moveout (NMO), tanto para os eventos de reflexões primárias como os eventos de reflexões múltiplas, para o modelo direto e para o modelo migrado. Em seguida, foram realizadas as comparações destes parâmetros, o que permitiu confirmar a veracidade dos indícios anteriores para a identificação das reflexões múltiplas.

O G.fast é um novo padrão da União Internacional de Telecomunicações que almeja atingir 1 Gb/s sobre enlaces de cobre curtos, utilizando freqüências de até 212 MHz. Essa nova tecnologia requer modelos paramétricos precisos de cabo para fins de projeto, simulação e testes de avaliação de desempenho. A maioria dos modelos de cabo de cobre foram desenvolvidos focando o espectro VDSL - isto é, freqüências de até 30 MHz - e adotam suposições que são violadas quando a faixa de freqüência é estendida para freqüências G.fast. Esta tese apresenta novos modelos de cabo simples e causais capazes de caracterizar com precisão enlaces de cobre compostos por segmentos individuais ou múltiplos, tanto no domínio do tempo quanto no domínio da freqüência. Resultados utilizando as topologias de referência do padrão G.fast mostram que, além de serem precisos, os novos modelos são atrativos devido ao baixo custo computacional e fórmulas fechadas para ajuste de seus parâmetros junto a dados medidos.

O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir sobre o processo de militarização da capitania do Grão-Pará na primeira metade do século XVIII. Trata-se das políticas de defesa engendradas pela Coroa portuguesa para essa região. Para a análise utilizamos como objeto de estudo a tropa paga por ser esta a força militar profissional na colônia, e ainda a responsável por empreender ações de guerra e guarnição. Nesse sentido, este estudo procura desenvolver e discutir questões como: a representação das companhias pagas nas diversas correspondências entre a colônia e o reino, e a partir disso perceber o estado militar da capitania; a composição da tropa por meio da análise do recrutamento compulsório e de seus múltiplos significados para os soldados e para a região; e a mobilização dessa força de defesa através do mapeamento do destacamento de soldados e da movimentação de tropas no Grão-Pará. Trata-se ainda, da implicação dessa mobilização na família do recrutado.

An analysis of the dietary content of haematophagous insects can provide important information about the transmission networks of certain zoonoses. The present study evaluated the potential of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome B (cytb)gene to differentiate between vertebrate species that were identified as possible sources of sandfly meals. The complete cytb gene sequences of 11 vertebrate species available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database were digested with Aci I, Alu I, Hae III and Rsa I restriction enzymes in silico using Restriction Mapper software. The cytb gene fragment (358 bp) was amplified from tissue samples of vertebrate species and the dietary contents of sandflies and digested with restriction enzymes. Vertebrate species presented a restriction fragment profile that differed from that of other species, with the exception of Canis familiaris and Cerdocyon thous. The 358 bp fragment was identified in 76 sandflies. Of these, 10 were evaluated using the restriction enzymes and the food sources were predicted for four: Homo sapiens (1), Bos taurus (1) and Equus caballus (2). Thus, the PCR-RFLP technique could be a potential method for identifying the food sources of arthropods. However, some points must be clarified regarding the applicability of the method, such as the extent of DNA degradation through intestinal digestion, the potential for multiple sources of blood meals and the need for greater knowledge regarding intraspecific variations in mtDNA.

The objective of this study was to define a method for estimating soybean crop area in the Northern Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil). Overall, six different remote sensing methods were proposed based on spectral-temporal profile and minimum and maximum values of NDVI/MODIS related to the stages of sowing, maximum development and harvesting of soybean areas. The resulting estimates were compared to official crop area data provided by the Brazilian government, using statistical analysis and the fuzzy similarity method. The performance of each method depended on information such as crop size, type of crop management, and sowing/harvesting dates. Regression coefficients of determination and fuzzy agreement values were above 0.8 and 0.45, respectively, for all methods. For operational monitoring of soybean crop area, the empirical threshold applied to the image difference with inclusion of harvest image method was the most effective, producing estimates that matched closely the official data. For spatial analysis the application of multitemporal images classification method is recommended that generated a map of better quality. The efficiency of these methods should be evaluated in the areas of soybean expansion in the state.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate an application of the design of block experiments via analysis and multiple linear regression in the investigation of a steel thermal treatment process with multiple responses. The study aimed to design statistical models to predict the mechanical properties in SAE 9254 draw steel wires, with diameters of 2.00 mm and 6.50 mm, after quench hardening and tempering. For this purpose, process input variables (wire diameter, processing speed, tempering temperature and polymer concentration) were investigated regarding their influence on the material tensile strength, yield point and hardness. The results revealed that the mechanical properties of the steel wire are significantly influenced by the selected variables, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to validate the design of the statistical models. Multiple linear regression allowed for an appropriate representation of the process, and graphical analysis was found to be very useful in displaying the behavior of the multiple responses.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an uncommon infection, but potentially lethal, especially when associated with systemic disorders such as diabetes. The authors report a case of necrotizing fasciitis from odontogenic origin in a patient with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The initial diagnosis was based on clinical information, in which multiple necrosis areas in cervical and thoracic regions were observed. Wide antibiotic therapy was applied, followed by surgical drain age and debridement. Culture was positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Although the treatment is established, the patient dies after sepsis and failure of vital organs. Clearly, the morbidity associated to this infection, even in diabetic patients, can be minimized if an early diagnosis and effective debridement are done.

The plants are subject to the conditions of multiple stresses, such as water and salt stress, which limit their development and their chances of survival. Aware of the factors that control seed germination can generate support for management strategies of weed species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of water stress caused by PEG and NaCl solutions on germination of wild Raphanus raphanistrum and Senna obtusifolia seeds. The seeding was done with four repetitions of 50 seeds on moistened paper with solutions of polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) and NaCl at osmotic potentials of 0.0, -0.2, -0.4 and -0.8 MPa. The germination test was conducted at 25 degrees C in the presence of light, evaluating the first test score to seven days after sowing, and weekly, germination (normal seedlings) until 35 days; it was also calculated the index germination rate. The results allowed the conclusion that water stress by PEG causes a greater reduction in force, speed of germination and accumulated germination of seeds of Raphanus raphanistrum and Senna obtusifolia seeds. The Senna obtusifolia was more tolerant to water stress.
