Avaliação do crescimento da macrófita aquática flutuante Pistia stratiotes L. em diferentes concentrações de nitrogênio

A disponibilidade de nutrientes é um dos fatores que controla a produção primária dos ecossistemas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da concentração de nitrato (N-NO3) no crescimento da macrófita aquática flutuante Pistia stratiotes. Um experimento com delineamento totalmente casualisado foi realizado em laboratório, consistindo de três réplicas e cinco tratamentos: (1) sem adição de nitrato; (2)196μg.L-1, (3) 490μg.L-1, (4) 980μg.L-1 e (5) 1960μg.L-1. Em intervalos de sete dias, durante 70 dias, foi obtida a massa fresca de P. stratiotes. A massa fresca foi transformada em massa seca, e a esses valores aplicou-se o modelo de crescimento logístico. Também foram analisados o diâmetro de roseta, o número de indivíduos, o volume de raiz, a absorção de N-NO3 e P-PO4 por P. stratiotes e os teores de nitrogênio, fósforo e clorofila a e b da biomassa. Os valores médios de capacidade suporte (K) encontrados foram: (1) 220,9 gMS.m-2; (2) 262,8 gMS.m-2; (3) 288,3 gMS.m-2; (4) 356,9 gMS.m-2; e (5) 394,6 gMS.m-2. Os resultados indicam que a relação entre concentração de nitrato e K é uma hipérbole que apresenta K como valor assintótico. Conclui-se que o aumento da disponibilidade de nitrato promove o aumento no crescimento desta espécie. Conclui-se também que P. stratiotes apresenta consumo de luxúria de nitrogênio e que a maior disponibilidade de nitrogênio promove o aumento do número de indivíduos e do diâmetro da roseta e a diminuição da relação volume de raiz/biomassa do indivíduo.

Descompasso entre ensino e aprendizagem: o novo aluno

A Educação Física escolar parece passar por um momento de crise de valores, a escola está ensinando e o aluno efetivamente aprendendo? O ensino tem se convertido em aprendizagem significativa dos alunos? Parece que há falta de diálogo entre professores e alunos, o que acaba gerando desinteresse por parte dos alunos na sala de aula, muitas vezes refletida, em situações de indisciplina. a imagem do professor perante os alunos de anos atrás mostra-se transformada quando comparada com a imagem dos dias de hoje. Esse já não é mais o retentor do saber, autoritário e até mesmo temido ou seja sua imagem não parece muito bem definida para os alunos. As aulas não são tão interessantes para esses novos alunos que sofrem grande influência das novas tecnologias, com grandes quantidades de informação e tem necessidades que parecem não serem mais supridas, principalmente quando o professor não transforma sua metodologia de acordo com essas novas exigências. Portanto o objetivo desse estudo foi investigar a leitura que os professores experientes estão fazendo dos novos alunos, se perceberam diferenças entre os alunos ao longo do tempo e como estão adaptando suas metodologias para ensinar. A pesquisa foi qualitativa descritiva, que utilizou como método de coleta de dados uma entrevista semi-estruturada com professores que apresentam no mínimo cinco anos de docência e que sejam atuantes da área da Educação Física. Os principais resultados alcançados foi a percepção por parte dos professores de alunos com famílias desestruturadas, a influência das tecnologias, a indisciplina na escola, a falta de interesse nas aulas, agressão verbal e professores cansados com dificuldades de adaptar sua aula à realidade escolar, gerando um quadro que precisa ser mudado para que a cultura corporal consiga ser transmitida da melhor maneira.

Análise paleogeográfica evolutiva da região do Parque Estadual da Ilha do Cardoso (PEIC), litoral sul de São Paulo, como subsídio a ações de planejamento e conservação ambiental

Cardoso Island, settled in the south of paulista region, is characterized by its ecological importance due to the great biodiversity of Mata Atlântica and for accommodating several kinds of ecosystems as mangroves, which were considered by UNESCO as human natural ownership. The mangroves are among the most important marine ecosystems, known as warranty of biological productivity and diversity and supply of food and economical resources to the local population. Although the island has been transformed in a state park for preservation, it hasn’t become free from environmental impacts made by antropical activities. This way it was proposed a rebuilt of an evolutionary process in the region, having as an objective to subsidize programs of environmental conservation and planning , aiming to a sustainable development. For this it was used a isobasis methodological analyses where by the drainage channels and its confluences makes relative maps to the different base levels represented by the isobasis, characterizing itself by an attempt to rebuilt the preterit local landscape. There were elaborated eight maps referring to four orders of confluences met in the region of Cardoso Island and round it where you can conclude it is about an appropriate methodology to rebuilt preterits environments that specially aim to actions of environmental planning and conservation.

Síntese e caracterização do complexo de lantânio (III) e indometacina no estado sólido

In this study, the drug indomethacin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory indoleacetic acid derivative and the complex of indomethacin and lanthanum (III) in solid form were synthesized and characterized by Thermogravimetry (TGA), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD), infrared vibrational spectroscopy by diffuse reflectance (FTIR) and complexometric titration with EDTA. With the TG curves it was possible to determine the stoichiometry of the complex as La(Ind)3·3.5H2O where Ind is the drug indomethacin. The result of thermal analyzes provided information on the thermal stability, enthalpy of dehydration and thermal behavior of the compounds. The infrared spectrum and with the aid of theoretical calculations suggests that the indomethacin is coordinated by the carboxylate group in the bidentate mode

Filtragem de sinais de interferência em espectros dinâmicos solares através de suas componentes de Fourier

Through the data acquisition system of the instrument Brazilian Solar Spectroscope (BSS) at INPE, solar observations in the decimetric radio wave band (1000-2500 MHz) are regularly made. This data is showed as dynamic spectra using the software BSSView created for this purpose. The process of data acquisition can be influenced by various sources, dificulting the resulting dynamic spectrum analysis. The objective of this work is to create a computational routine that eliminates dynamic components of the spectrum attributed to interfering signals and integrate it into BSSView. It was done a preliminary study on the programming language Interactive Data Language (IDL), in which the BSSView was developed, and the Fourier transform, that is required for the application of the filter

Aplicação da descarga por barreira dielétrica (DBD) em diferentes frequências no tratamento de polipropileno

In this work, air dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operating at two different frequencies (60 Hz and 17 kHz) was used to improve surface properties of polypropylene (PP). The changes in surface hydrophilicity were investigated by contact angle measurements. The modifications in chemical composition of PP surface were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The PP roughness were analyzed before and after the DBD treatment using atomic force microscopy (AFM). In order to compare the results obtained at different frequencies, the analyses are presented as a function of the deposited energy density. The results show that both DBD treatments led to formation of low-molecular weight oxidized material (LMWOM). It tends to agglomerate into small mounts on the surface, as shown by AFM analyses. These structures are weakly bounded to the surface and can be easily removed by rinsing in polar solvents. After washing the DBD-treated samples, the PP partially recovers its original wetting characteristics. This suggests that oxidation also occurred at deeper and more permanent levels on the PP samples. Comparing both DBD treatments, the 17 kHz process was found to be more efficient in introducing oxygen groups to the PP surface

Diferenciação miogênica “in vitro” de células tronco mesenquimais murinas de diferentes origens

Muscular dystrophy refers to a group of more than 30 genetical disorders characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscle. No effective therapy is available at present. Recent studies have reported that the transplantation of stem cells can offer an important potential therapy for genetic diseases. Adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have been identified as a nonhematopoietic stem cell population capable of self-renewal with the ability to differentiate into many cell lineages, including bone, fat, cartilage and connective tissue. Because of their similarity with muscle progenitor cells, when they are injected in affected individuals, they are able to migrate into areas of skeletal muscle degeneration and participate in the regeneration process. The adipose tissue represents an alternative source of MSCs that, as the MSCs derived from bone marrow, are capable of in vitro differentiation into osteogenic, adipogenic, myogenic and chondrogenic lineages. The objective of this project is to investigate the “in vitro” myogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from murine bone marrow and adipose tissue. Four experimental groups were analyzed: mice from lineages Lama2dy-2J/J and C57black and, C2C12 lineage cells and transformed C2C12 expressing the eGFP protein. MSCs cultures were obtained by flushing the bone marrow femurs and tibials with α-MEM or by the subcutaneous and inguinal fat from the mice. Their characterization was done by flow cytometry and in vitro differentiation. Muscle differentiation was studied through the analysis of the expression of transcriptional factors involved in muscle differentiation and/or the presence and amount of specific proteins from muscle differentiated cell. The pluripotency from bone marrow MSCs of the two lineages was evidenced and, in the muscular differentiation... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Avaliação de sistemas de pultrudados com diferentes tipos de matrizes para aplicação em cabos condutores

In the last decades it has been observed a substantial developing of the electrical energy demand in the societies all over the World. In consequence the electrical energy distribution companies are increasing the quantity of electrical energy through the electrical energy conductor cables, which had grown the sag in the towers of energy transmission. Furthermore, the construction of more transmission towers brings a lot of troubles due environmental protection laws. In this way, looking forward to increase the quantity of electrical energy transmitted through electrical cables conductors, reduce the need of constructing new transmission towers and the sag in them, we suggest in this work the replace of the traditional core of the conductors cables commonly used, made of steel, by a core made by a composite material, which one is made by carbon fibers pultruded with polymeric resins as matrix. In a order to evaluate if the resins more commonly used in structural composites can be applied as matrix to make possible to use the composite material as a core, we made carbon fibers systems pultruded with epoxy, phenolic and polyester resins as matrix and a mechanic and physic-chemistry characterization was done on the systems by Tensile and Poisson tests, differential sprobe calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), following their correspondents standards

Dipolo e escoamento uniforme: escoamento em torno de um cilindro circular

The study of movements of ideals fluids is more simple that the viscous fluids because do not have the presence of tension of shear. The normal tensions are the one that must be considered in this analysis. The theory corresponding to these flows is the same used in other fields of the physics called Theory of Potentials Fields, which the vector identity is fundamental. Any flow into irrotational (null vorticity) physically possibly has a current function and a potential of velocity that satisfied the equation of Laplace. Reciprocally, any solution of equation of Laplace represents a current function or a potential of velocity of a flow into physically possible. Once the equation of Laplace is linear, the addiction of any numbers of solutions is also a solution. So, several potentials flows into can be constructed superposing configurations of elementary flows into. The purpose of the superposition of elementary flows into is a production of similar configurations to those of practical interest. The combination of mathematical elegancy with utility in the potential flow into attracted many for its study. Some of the most famous mathematician of history studied the theory and application of “hydrodynamic”, how was called the potential fluid into before 1900
