Estudo da zircônia reforçado com alumina

Ceramics materials have good properties including chemical stability, high hardness and wear resistance. Moreover, due to its fragility, can suffer failure under relatively low levels of tension. Actually zirconia is the material of choice in metal free dental prostheses used in dentistry due its inertia in physiological environment, good bending strength, hardness and fracture toughness. The alumina and mixed tungsten and titanium carbides additions, acting as reinforcement elements in the zirconia matrix, have as their main objective the improvement of mechanical properties of this material. In this work, samples of zirconia, zirconia with 30% wt of alumina and zirconia with 30% wt mixed carbides were analyzed. The samples were sintered by uniaxial hot pressing on 30 MPa pressure, for 1 hour in an argon atmosphere. They were physically characterized by porosity and density measurements, and mechanically by 3-points bending strength and Vickers microhardness. The X-ray diffraction was used for the phase identifications and microstructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The addition of mixed carbides as reinforcement elements in zirconia matrix provides improvements in all properties analyzed in this work. The alumina addition has dropped the zirconia strength, although it caused improvement in other properties

Estudo da sinterização de cavacos de aço ferritico

This research studies the sintering of ferritic steel chips from the machining process. Were sintered metal powder obtained from machining process chips for face milling of a ferritic steel. The chip was produced by machining and characterized by SEM and EDS, and underwent a process of high energy mill powder characterized also by SEM and EDS. Were constructed three types of matrixes for uniaxial compression (relation l / d greater than 2.5). The differences in the design of the matrixes were essentially in the direction of load application, which for cylindrical case axial direction, while for the rectangular arrays, the longer side. Two samples were compressed with different geometries, a cylindrical and rectangular with the same compaction pressure of 700 MPa. The samples were sintered in a vacuum resistive furnace, heating rate 20 °C / min., isotherm 1300 °C for 60 minutes, and cooling rate of 25 °C / min to room temperature. The starting material of the rectangular sample was further annealed up to temperature of 800 ° C for 30 min. Sintered samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy and EDS. The sample compressed in the cylindrical matrix did not show a regular density reflecting in the sintered microstructure revealed by the irregular geometry of the pores, characterizing that the sintering was not complete, reaching only the second phase. As for the specimen compacted in the rectangular array, the analysis performed by scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy and EDS indicate a good densification, and homogeneous microstructure in their full extent. Additionally, the EDS analyzes indicate no significant changes in chemical composition in the process steps. Therefore, it is concluded that recycling of chips, from the processed ferritic steel is feasible by the powder metallurgy. It makes possible rationalize raw material and energy by manufacture of known properties components from chips generated by the machining process, being benefits to the environment

Uso de resíduo e de minerais de pegmatito da região do seridó RN e de argilas portuguesas em formulações de grês porcelanato

In the State Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, the most significant deposits of minerals in the production of granite and pegmatite are Seridó region. Municipalities of Parelhas and Equador are the main responsible for the production of feldspar, quartz, kaolin and granite. The ceramic industries are always in search of competitiveness by investing in new products or improving existing techniques. The stoneware is a type of pottery that stands in the market because it presents technical and aesthetic characteristics superior to other existing products. Characteristics of the raw materials initially obtained with chemical analysis and mineralogical analysis are crucial in getting a product that satisfies the conditions in a manufacturing process and is, in principle, directly related to the firing cycle. This research aimed at developing new formulations for the mass production of ceramic stoneware. The raw materials initially characterized were feldspar, quartz, kaolin and granite. As part of the research was developed at the University of Aveiro, in Portugal, we used two clays used in the production of Portuguese ceramics. The raw material Brazilian and Portuguese and the final product, both in Portugal and Brazil, were analyzed for X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, granulometric analysis, dilatometric analysis, thermal analysis and analysis of scanning electron microscopy (MEV). The specimens prepared at the University of Aveiro (DECV) were sintered at 10000C and 12000C and the specimens prepared in UFRN were sintered at 10000C, 10500C, 11000C, 11500C, 12000C, 12500C and 13000C, but the best results and demonstrating the presence of the mineral mullite were at temperatures of 12000C, 12500C and 13000C. The results showed that the granite waste used may be considered raw material of excellent quality for use in the ceramic industry and coating floors and more accurately by the industry of stoneware. Physical and mechanical tests conducted on samples of the formulations F01 and F02 developed in UFRN showed a water absorption and mechanical strength suitable for the stoneware

Aproveitamento de resíduo de beneficiamento do caulim na produção de porcelanato cerâmico

Nowadays, industries from all sectors have great concerns over the disposition of the residues generated along the productive process. This is not different in the mineral sector, as this generates great volumes of residues. It was verified that the kaolin improvement industry generates great volumes of residue basically constituted of kaolinite, muscovite mica and quartz, which are basic constitution elements to formularisations of ceramics masses to the production of covering of stoneware tiles type. This happens because the methodology applied to the improvement process is still very rudimentary, what causes a very low yield, only ¼ from all the material volume that enters the improvement process, in the end, is marketable. The disposal of this residue, in a general way, causes a very big negative environmental impact, what has justified the researches efforts aiming to find a rational solution to this problem. In this way, the intention of this present work is the utilization of this residue in the manufacture of products to high quality ceramics covering, stoneware tiles in an industrial scale. For this purpose, the influence of the addition of the residue to a standard ceramics mass used by a ceramics sector company, already established in the market, with the intention of verifying the possibility of use of this residue as the mass complementary raw material and even the possible partial or total substitution of one of the components of the mass for the raw material in evidence will be studied. To the accomplishment of this work, the kaolin improvement residue generated by an industry of exploitation and improvement of kaolin, located in the region of Equador-RN, in the levels 1,2,4,8, 16 and 32% will be added to the standard mass already used for the production of stoneware tiles. The raw materials used, kaolin residue and the standard mass, were characterized through DRX, FRX, DTA, TGA and dilatometry. After the sintering of the bodies of test, tests of water absorption, apparent porosity, post burning linear retraction, apparent specific mass and flexural strength (3 point bending) were realized to determinate the technological properties of these materials. The results show the studied residue can be considered raw material of great potential to the industry of floor and ceramics covering of the stoneware tiles type

Pirólise térmica e catalítica de resíduos de vácuo gerados no refino de petróleo

In this study, was used a very promising technique called of pyrolysis, which can be used for obtaining products with higher added value. From oils and residues, since the contribution of heavier oils and residues has intensified to the world refining industry, due to the growing demand for fuel, for example, liquid hydrocarbons in the range of gasoline and diesel. The catalytic pyrolysis of vacuum residues was performed with the use of a mesoporous material belonging the M41S family, which was discovered in the early 90s by researchers Mobil Oil Corporation, allowing new perspectives in the field of catalysis. One of the most important members of this family is the MCM-41, which has a hexagonal arrangement of mesopores with pore diameters between 2 and 10 nm and a high specific surface area, making it very promising for use as a catalyst in petroleum refining for catalytic cracking, and their mesopores facilitate the access of large hydrocarbon molecules. The addition of aluminum in the structure of MCM-41 increases the acidity of the material, making it more positive for application in the petrochemical industry. The mesoporous material of the type Al-MCM41 (ratio Si / Al = 50) was synthesized by hydrothermal method starting from the silica gel, NaOH and distilled water added to the gel pseudobohemita synthesis. Driver was used as structural CTMABr. Removal of organic driver (CTMABr) was observed by TG / DTG and FTIR, but this material was characterized by XRD, which was observed the formation of the main peaks characteristic of mesoporous materials. The analysis of adsorption / desorption of nitrogen this material textural parameters were determined. The vacuum residues (VR's) that are products of the bottom of the vacuum distillation tower used in this study are different from oil fields (regions of Ceará and Rio de Janeiro). Previously characterized by various techniques such as FTIR, viscosity, density, SARA, elemental analysis and thermogravimetry, which was performed by thermal and catalytic degradation of vacuum residues. The effect of AlMCM-41 was satisfactory, since promoted a decrease in certain ranges of temperature required in the process of conversion of hydrocarbons, but also promoted a decrease in energy required in the process. Thus enabling lower costs related to energy expenditure from degradation during processing of the waste

A dioxaborine cyanine dye as a photoluminescence probe for sensing carbon nanotubes

The unique properties of carbon nanotubes have made them the material of choice for many current and future industrial applications. As a consequence of the increasing development of nanotechnology, carbon nanotubes show potential threat to health and environment. Therefore, development of efficient method for detection of carbon nanotubes is required. In this work, we have studied the interaction of indopentamethinedioxaborine dye (DOB-719) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. In the mixture of the dye and the SWNTs we have revealed new optical features in the spectral range of the intrinsic excitation of the dye due to resonance energy transfer from DOB-719 to SWNTs. Specifically, we have observed an emergence of new PL peaks at the excitation wavelength of 735 nm and a redshift of the intrinsic PL peaks of SWNT emission (up to 40 nm) in the near-infrared range. The possible mechanism of the interaction between DOB-719 and SWNTs has been proposed. Thus, it can be concluded that DOB-719 dye has promising applications for designing efficient and tailorable optical probes for the detection of SWNTs.

Técnicas e sistemas de desobturação canalar no retratamento endodôntico não cirúrgico

Na prática clínica, a diversidade de instrumentos manuais, rotatórios ou reciprocantes, dificulta a seleção do sistema a aplicar no retratamento dentário não cirúrgico. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo comparar diferentes instrumentos quanto a diferentes parâmetros: capacidade de remoção de Gutta-Percha (GP), extrusão apical de detritos, fratura de instrumentos, e ocorrência de iatrogenias. Neste trabalho foram utilizadas 111 publicações posteriores a 2011, obtidas via PubMed e Science Direct. A análise da bibliografia indica que, independentemente do sistema, não é possível remover todo o material obturador das paredes radiculares, sendo esta tarefa dificultada em canais curvos e na área apical. Verifica-se que a remoção de GP melhora no sentido: limas H, ProTaper, e Mtwo. O sistema Reciproc foi associado a melhores desempenhos e a menores tempo de trabalho, do que os sistemas de rotação contínua. Nenhum dos instrumentos analisados é capaz de evitar a extrusão apical de detritos na totalidade. Apesar de resultados dispares, a maioria dos estudos assume que o sistema Reciproc provoca menor extrusão apical de detritos. Em Endodontia, as duas principais causas da fratura de instrumentos são a fadiga cíclica e a torsão. A maioria dos estudos concordam que o movimento reciprocante, como o do Reciproc, aumenta a resistência à fractura e a resistência à torsão, mantendo a anatomia original do canal. Relativamente à produção de perfurações e fracturas radiculares, a superioridade dos instrumentos NiTi relativamente às limas manuais não foi clara. De acordo com a literatura, o sistema Reciproc, constituído por liga de NiTi M-Wire, está associado a menos eventos iatrogénicos. Finalmente, conclui-se que futuros estudos seriam benéficos para esclarecer o potencial dos diferentes sistemas estudados.

L’importation de la littérature française : un triple détournement de capital. Réflexions à partir d’une étude de réception journalistique en Suède

The background material of the study consists of articles about French literature gathered between 2010 and 2014 in the Swedish press. The aim of the article is to isolate the most widely discussed French literature from France in the Swedish press during the period, in order to explore why the transfer of this literature persists over time, how it is perceived, and which type of mediators bring about this transmission. The study raises questions about the image of French literature in Swedish media, Sweden’s impact on the transnational circulation of literature, and the use of French literature to place Sweden on the literary map. The results of the reception study show that French literature is presented as both aesthetically disruptive with innovative features and as a normative and traditional model. It incarnates an image of tradition as well as of modernity. French literature from France is principally mediated by orthodox journalists with a consistent symbolic capital, and the posture of these journalists is analyzed through Sapiro’s model, inspired by Bourdieu. The orthodox journalists manage to redirect the symbolic capital inherent to consecrated French literature at three levels: national, personal, and transnational. Firstly, the importation of French literature increases Swedish literature’s symbolic capital. Secondly, this transfer allows for an auto-consecration of the orthodox journalists themselves. Thirdly, this use of highly valued imported literature engenders a supplementary consecration (surconsecration) of a national literature and its dominating language. In conclusion, these observed bilateral literary exchanges show the often overlooked importance of peripheral countries in transnational literary transmission. The results modify Casanova’s (2002) model, since they display the impact on the market from the margins. The transfer of central national literatures in dominating languages towards peripheral countries allows for dominated languages and minor national literatures to take an active part in the construction and reconstruction of the relations on the global literary map.

Contribuições da Sociologia para a Análise sobre o Espaço

RESUMO: O espaço tem sido considerado como uma matéria-prima de interesse para uma pluralidade de ciências. A sua abordagem vai da Física à Geometria, da Economia à Sociologia e assume várias e diversas reflexões teóricas sobre as diferentes temáticas de que é detentor. Se nos primórdios da Sociologia não havia um interesse particular sobre o espaço e, em particular, sobre o fenómeno urbano e pelas suas reconfigurações resultantes da Revolução Industrial, não é menos verdade que a influência exercida hoje sobre a Sociologia e os sociólogos foi, e continua a ser exercida, por parte dos autores que estão na base do edifício da teoria sociológica. E essa influência foi a grande responsável pelo desenvolvimento dos saberes específicos de que são detentoras a Sociologia Espacial, Sociologia Urbana e a Sociologia Rural e a atual Sociologia do Território, que para além das teorias produzidas são ainda responsáveis pelos debates em torno de velhas e de novas questões que a Sociologia procura resolver. ABSTRACT: Space has been considered as a raw material of interest to a plurality of sciences. His approach goes from Physics to Geometry, from Economics to Sociology and assumes several and diverse theoretical reflections on the different themes of which he holds. If in the early days of Sociology there was no particular interest in space and in particular in the urban phenomenon and its reconfigurations resulting from the Industrial Revolution, it is no less true that the influence exerted today on sociology and sociologists was, and continues To be exercised, on the part of the authors who are at the base of the building of the sociological theory. And this influence was the great responsibility for the development of the specific knowledge that holds Space Sociology, Urban Sociology and Rural Sociology and the current Sociology of the Territory, which in addition to the theories produced are still responsible for the debates around old and New questions that Sociology seeks to solve.

DESLIZAMIENTOS EN LA CUENCA MEDIA Y SUPERIOR DEL RIO REVENTADO, CARTAGO, COSTA RICA

La cuenca del río Reventado, situada en la vertiente sur del Volcán Irazú, Costa Rica, presenta actualmente un riesgo para la ciudad de Cartago (aproximadamente 30.000 habitantes), especialmente para algunos asentamientos cercanos al río mismo.  Este riesgo consiste, en primer lugar, en un deslizamiento con grandes extensiones en la parte inferior de la cuenca media, el deslizamiento llamado San Blas. Este deslizamiento está formado por la antigua terraza de Banderilla de material de avalanchas holocenas y que fue activado en el comienzo de la década de los setenta por la destrucción de su sostén por la explotación de materiales en tajos. Anteriormente, la última vez en los años 63-65, el riesgo era diferente:Erupciones del Irazú con grandes cantidades de cenizas originaron un cambio violento del régimen hidrológico, intensas lluvias causaron crecidas y avalanchas, profundizando en la cuenca superior los cauces y provocando así deslizamientos. En la cuenca baja estas avalanchas provocan inundaciones y acumulaciones de los abanicos diferentes. Los deslizamientos activados por estos eventos actualmente muestran poca o ninguna actividad, pero el riesgo de repeticiones de estos eventos persiste. SUMMARYThe Rio Reventado watershed, situated in the southern slope of the Irazú volcano, Costa Rica, presents a risk for the town of Cartago (30.000 inhabitants) and specially for some settlements near the river.  In first place, this risk consists of a huge landslide in the lower part of the watershed, the<<San Blas- landslide, which is formed by the labaric material of a Holocene terrace of the Reventado, called <<Banderilla- terrace>>. At the beginning of the seventies this terrace was activated due the explotation of its materials in two quarries.  The risks existing before in this watershed were of an other nature, an example give the events of years 1963-65:A violent hydrologic change in the upper part of the Reventado watershed due to the ashfall of an eruption of the Irazú caused big mudflows whish depend the river beds and thus provoked landslides.  These mud flows caused inundations and accumulations in the lower watershed. Today, the land slides activated in the sixties are stable or semistable, but the risk of repetitions still persists.

Marca coletiva dos vinhos finos de Santa Catarina, Brasil: uma estratégia alternativa.

Com a abertura da economia brasileira a partir de meados da década de 1990, o setor vitivinícola nacional passou a enfrentar uma forte concorrência externa, registrando-se taxas significativas de importações. No período de 2002-2010, o crescimento das importações de produtos vitivinícolas (vinhos, espumantes, vinhos licorosos, etc.), pelo mercado brasileiro foi de aproximadamente 183%. Portanto, de modo semelhante a outros setores do agro-negócio mundial, o setor vitivinícola tem se caracterizado pela crescente competição entre blocos econômicos, a qual tem sido marcada por um ambiente empresarial cada vez mais intenso em tecnologia e gestão. Diante deste cenário e da evidência de que, para competir neste mercado, é necessário uma performance diferenciada, em 2008, a Associação Catarinense dos Produtores de Vinhos Finos de Altitude - ACAVITIS, com o apoio institucional e financeiro do Serviço Nacional de Apoio a Micro e Pequena Empresa - SEBRAE-SC e, sob a coordenação técnica da Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária - Embrapa Uva e Vinho e da Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuária e Extensão Rural de Santa Catarina - EPAGRI, implantou o projeto para criação da Marca Coletiva ACAVITIS (MCA), objetivando garantir qualidade e imagem diferenciada para seus produtos diante da concorrência. Em 2009, o registro da MCA foi protocolado junto ao Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial - INPI e, na safra de 2011, serão certificados seus primeiros vinhos.

La curiosità del lettore. Momenti della formazione culturale di Ezio Raimondi

L’elaborato si propone di esaminare le tappe principali della formazione intellettuale di Ezio Raimondi (Lizzano in Belvedere, 22 marzo 1924 – Bologna, 18 marzo 2014). Dopo aver illustrato i riflessi dei maestri (Lorenzo Bianchi, Franco Serra, Roberto Longhi, Carlo Calcaterra) nella produzione critica dello studioso, il nostro lavoro, grazie al materiale archivistico dell’Accademia della Crusca, ha tentato di ricostruire da una parte le dinamiche del dialogo instaurato da Ezio Raimondi con Gianfranco Contini, Giorgio Pasquali e Francesco Pagliai, e dall’altra i criteri ecdotici e filologici fissati nell’edizione critica dei Dialoghi di Torquato Tasso (1958). La lunga consuetudine con uno dei massimi poeti nostri, e con un testo di grande rilievo nella storia della cultura nell’età della Controriforma, offrì al giovane studioso la prospettiva più felice, e insieme un saldo fondamento filologico e storico, all’interesse che era venuto crescendo in lui per il Manierismo. Con il sostegno dei documenti del Fondo Riccardo Ricciardi editore, conservati al Centro Apice di Milano, non è sembrato inopportuno discutere, tramite il carteggio tra Ezio Raimondi e Gianni Antonini, le ‘scelte di canone’ dell’antologia Trattatisti e narratori del Seicento (1960). L’analisi della corrispondenza tra Charles Singleton ed Ezio Raimondi si è rivelata, invece, particolarmente stimolante per avanzare qualche proposta interpretativa sulla critica simbolica, della quale lo studioso fu uno dei maggiori promotori. La tesi si conclude con un’Appendice, in cui compare, per la prima volta, un elenco provvisorio del materiale documentario allegato ai libri del professore, da noi inventariato dopo che l’archivio culturale Ezio Raimondi è stato donato dagli eredi dello studioso alla biblioteca del Dipartimento di Filologia Classica e Italianistica dell’Università di Bologna.

Le radici del monoteismo israelitico come riflesso dell'idea di regalita divina in epoca pre-esilica

Questa tesi è un contributo al dibattito meta-terminologico sull'uso scientifico del termine "monoteismo" in relazione alla religione dell'Israele antico. L'attenzione è rivolta principalmente a un tema specifico: l'esplorazione della nozione teistica di "esistenza" divina (implicita nell'uso di "monoteismo" come lente di osservazione) e il problema della sua applicazione alle concettualizzazioni della divinità che emergono nella Bibbia ebraica. In primo luogo, il "monoteismo" come termine e concetto viene ricondotto alle sue origini storiche nell'ambiente intellettuale del platonismo di Cambridge nell'Inghilterra del XVII secolo. Poi, si affronta il dibattito contemporaneo sull'uso del termine "monoteismo" in relazione alla religione dell'Israele antico e si evidenzia il ruolo dell'"esistenza" teistica come lente distorcente nella lettura dei testi biblici. La maggior parte della tesi sostiene questo assunto con una lettura esegetica dettagliata di tre passi biblici scelti come casi di studio: Sal 82; 1Re 18,20-40* e Zc 14,9. Queste analisi mostrano come la nozione teistica di un'esistenza divina astratta non sia in grado di spiegare la rappresentazione del divino che emerge da questi testi. Allo stesso tempo, il potere divino come categoria euristica viene proposto come un'alternativa più adatta a spiegare queste concettualizzazioni della divinità. L'ultima sezione elabora ulteriormente questi risultati. Qui la regalità di YHWH, come immagine metaforica del suo potere, viene utilizzata per descrivere i cambiamenti nella concettualizzazione di questa divinità. L'argomentazione finale è che in nessuna parte del materiale biblico affrontato in questa tesi si trova una nozione simile a quella di esistenza divina astratta. Poiché tale nozione è implicita nell'uso del termine "monoteismo", questi risultati richiedono una considerazione ancora più attenta del suo uso nel dibattito scientifico.
