A presente invenção refere-se a composições vanstoras à base de óxidos metálicos, mais particularmente à base de diáxido de estanho (SnO~ 2~) com a adição de óxidos metálicos dopantes, preferencialmente óxido de cobalto (CoO), pentóxido de nióbio (Nb~ 2~O~ 5~) e triáxido de cromo (Cr~ 2~O~ 3~), para conformação de e blocos cerâmicos varistores cujas propriedades eletrónicas não-óhmicas finais são independentes das dimensões dos corpos cerâmicos. A independência das propriedades não-óhmicas em relação às dimensões do corpo permite que uma mesma composição varistora seja utilizada em aplicações para baixas, médias e altas tensões.

Neste livro, o autor discute as recorrentes epidemias de dengue no Brasil (e no mundo) sob a ótica da geografia da saúde. Segundo ele, a doença - que havia sido erradicada em vários países, incluindo o Brasil, entre as décadas de 1950 e 1970 - teve seu caráter modificado com a expansão e consolidação desigual dos espaços urbanos. No território brasileiro tal expansão foi acompanhada do aumento exponencial do número e do tamanho das cidades, do crescimento do fluxo de pessoas e materiais e, aliada a esses fatores, da degradação da saúde pública. O mosquito Aedes aegypti, vetor da dengue, adaptou-se facilmente ao novo contexto e passou a se reproduzir e contaminar pessoas até com mais facilidade, inclusive disseminando em grande escala a versão mais letal da moléstia, a dengue hemorrágica. Para o pesquisador, só é possível compreender essa mudança qualitativa e quantitativa da doença em todo o mundo e, sobretudo, compreender sua dinâmica particularmente no Brasil, levando-se em conta as mudanças que ocorreram na sociedade e no espaço geográfico nesse período. Isto é, aliás, segundo ele, condição sine qua non para a erradicação definitiva da dengue no país.
Aedes aegypti on Madeira Island (Portugal): genetic variation of a recently introduced dengue vector
Resumo:
The increasing population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes on Madeira Island (Portugal) resulted in the first autochthonous dengue outbreak, which occurred in October 2012. Our study establishes the first genetic evaluation based on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes [cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4)] and knockdown resistance ( kdr ) mutations exploring the colonisation history and the genetic diversity of this insular vector population. We included mosquito populations from Brazil and Venezuela in the analysis as putative geographic sources. The Ae. aegyptipopulation from Madeira showed extremely low mtDNA genetic variability, with a single haplotype for COI and ND4. We also detected the presence of two important kdr mutations and the quasi-fixation of one of these mutations (F1534C). These results are consistent with a unique recent founder event that occurred on the island of Ae. aegyptimosquitoes that carry kdr mutations associated with insecticide resistance. Finally, we also report the presence of the F1534C kdr mutation in the Brazil and Venezuela populations. To our knowledge, this is the first time this mutation has been found in South American Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. Given the present risk of Ae. aegypti re-invading continental Europe from Madeira and the recent dengue outbreaks on the island, this information is important to plan surveillance and control measures.

The tire inflation pressure, among other factors, determines the efficiency in which a tractor can exert traction. It was studied the effect of using two tire inflation pressures, 110.4 kPa in the front and rear wheels, 124.2 kPa in the front wheel and 138 kPa in the rear wheels, the energetic efficiency of an agricultural tractor of 147 kW of engine power, in the displacement speed of 6.0 km.h-1, on track with firm surface, with the tractor engine speed of 2000 rpm. For each condition of the tire pressure, the tested tractor was subjected to constant forces in the drawbar of 45 kN and 50 kN, covering 30 meters. It was used a randomized complete block with a 2x2 factorial arrangement (tire pressure and drawbar power) with four replications, totaling 16 experimental units. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, using the Tukey test at 5% probability for comparison averages. The lowest hourly and specific fuel consumption, the lowest slippage of the wheelsets and the highest efficiency in the drawbar was obtained with the tire inflation pressure of 110.4 kPa in the front and rear tires of the tractor, highlighting that lower pressures improve energetic and operational performance of the tractor.

This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of dengue risk and its association with socio-environmental conditions. This was an ecological study of the counts of autochthonous dengue cases in the municipality of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil, in the year 2007, aggregated according to 47 coverage areas of municipal health centers. Spatial models for mapping diseases were constructed with Bayesian hierarchical models, based on Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA). The analyses were stratified according to two age groups, 0 to 14 years and above 14 years. The results indicate that the spatial distribution of dengue risk is not associated with socio-environmental conditions in the 0 to 14 year age group. In the age group older than 14 years, the relative risk of dengue increases significantly as the level of socio-environmental deprivation increases. Mapping of socio-environmental deprivation and dengue cases proved to be a useful tool for data analysis in dengue surveillance systems.

In this study, a mathematical model with temporal dependence for dengue transmission was developed, considering coupling between human population and the vector mosquito, and a sorotype circulating on population. This model was analysed with the goal to explain disease's periodicity. Finally, a genetic algorithm was set up to study model's sensibility.
