A presente dissertação tem como objetivo a elaboração de uma proposta de certificação hídrica para edifícios residenciais existentes e em fase de projeto. O desenvolvimento desta certificação incide essencialmente na poupança de água potável nos edifícios, demonstrando que o consumo excessivo da mesma poderá traduzir-se num problema no futuro. O uso eficiente da água assume cada vez mais uma importância acrescida. Neste trabalho enumeram-se alguns países da Europa que, devido a uma má gestão da sua água ou às alterações climáticas (como por exemplo, a diminuição da precipitação), se encontram ou poderão se encontrar em “stress hídrico”. É apresentado o Programa Nacional para o Uso Eficiente da Água, fazendo-se referência aos principais objetivos do programa e às medidas propostas para redução de consumos, nomeadamente no setor urbano e em particular ao nível dos sistemas prediais e dos dispositivos em instalações residenciais. Com base nisto, são apresentados consumos e potenciais reduções com a implantação de equipamentos hidricamente eficientes e sistemas de aproveitamento de águas em algumas moradias. Após uma análise de sistemas de certificação da construção sustentável existentes, nacionais e internacionais, é apresentada uma proposta de certificação hídrica de edifícios residenciais. A proposta de certificação é apresentada com recurso a folhas de cálculo Excel.Assenta essencialmente na quantificação dos consumos dos equipamentos sanitários e cálculo do contributo dos sistemas de aproveitamento de águas, sejam cinzentas ou pluviais. À semelhança da certificação energética, a proposta de certificação hídrica faz uma comparação dos consumos da habitação em avaliação com um modelo criado de referência, propondo depois, algumas melhorias que o consumidor pode adotar para melhorar a eficiência da sua residência.

This paper examines, through case studies, the organization of the production process of architectural projects in architecture offices in the city of Natal, specifically in relation to building projects. The specifics of the design process in architecture, the production of the project in a professional field in Natal, are studied in light of theories of design and its production process. The survey, in its different phases, was conducted between March 2010 and September 2012 and aimed to identify, understand, and analyze comparatively, by mapping the design process, the organization of production of building projects in two offices in Natal, checking as well the relationships of their agents during the process. The project was based on desk research and exploration, adopting, for both, data collection tools such as forms, questionnaires, and interviews. With the specific aim of mapping the design process, we adopted a technique that allows obtaining the information directly from employee agents involved in the production process. The technique consisted of registering information by completing daily, during or at the end of the workday, an individual virtual agenda, in which all agent collaborators described the tasks performed. The data collected allowed for the identification of the organizational structure of the office, its hierarchy, the responsibilities of agents, as well as the tasks performed by them during the two months of monitoring at each office. The research findings were based on analyses of data collected in the two offices and on comparative studies between the results of these analyses. The end result was a diagnostic evaluation that considered the level of organization and elaborated this perspective, as well as proposed solutions aimed at improving both the organization of the process and the relationships between the agents under the lens analyzed

This research investigates the microclimate and the morphology features of the central campus of the UFRN, in Natal-RN, through the use of bioclimatic tools of analysis in order to assist the implementation of the campus´ Master Plan. It develops a diagnosis of the evolution and growth of the urban space surveyed by analyzing its initial plan and the basic urban conception behind it, as well as the morphology and typologies utilized. The study makes a qualitative analysis of the local microclimate by using Katzschner (1997) methodology, with land-use and topography maps, building heights, vegetation and soil covering. It also makes use of the methodology proposed by Oliveira (1993), which examines, from the bioclimatic standpoint, the human environment as related to the urban form (site and built mass). It identifies zones whose climatic characteristics are representative of the local microclimate and classifies them into areas to be strictly preserved, areas to be protected and areas to be improved. By means of the methodology for spatial and environmental assessment developed by Bustos Romero (2001), the survey selects characteristic points of each area in order to register the environmental data relative to the two basic seasons found in the region where the campus is located, that is, the dry and the rainy season, so that it can evaluate changes in the environment which might have been caused by urban density growth, by arborization or by the influence of the urban form. It then proceeds to a quantitative and statistical survey of the collected data with the purpose of evaluating the degree of influence of the identified features over the environmental variables along the different scales of approach. The study shows the existence of different microclimates and emphasizes the relevance of the bioclimatic analysis of the built environment as a tool for the decision-making process along the development of the Master Plan for UFRN Central Campus

The present work studies the natural ventilation and its relationship with the urban standards, which establishes the form of occupation and use of the land in our cities. The method simulates the application of the urban standards of the City Master Plan over the last three years. The simulation takes place in the District of Petrópolis, in the city of Natal , Brazil and analyses the effects of the standards of natural ventilation. The formulated hypothesis states that the reductions in the urban spaces between buildings rises up the vertical profile of ventilation, reducing, therefore, the velocity of the wind at the lower levels of the buildings. To develop the study, occupation models were built, using computerized, three-dimensional models. These occupation models were analyzed using the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code. The conclusion is that the more we reduce the urban space between buildings, the more we reduce the wind speed in constructed areas, increasing, therefore, the possibility to generate heat islands

The present work concerns the use of shade elements as architectural elements to block sunlight in public buildings. In a city like Natal, (5o South) the incidence of sunrays in any type of design should be a constant concern for all the architects. Besides, this habit of avoiding insolation in the environment is not a common practice. Within this context, the present work has the objective to dig deep into the knowledge of solar control, studying some cases and verifying its function according to the orientation and the original design of the building, having in mind if the shade elements usually used in the region have achieved their purpose of providing protection against the incidence of direct sun rays. This study considers the position of the shade element (horizontal and vertical), the angle formed between them and the respective facades, and the local of the buildings in relation to their orientation during the summer, winter and equinox solstice. As supporting instruments the solar map of the city and the protractor, for measuring shade angles, were used. It was concluded that in all the cases studied, it was not possible to obtain the maximum use of the elements. It was verified that the best type of shade element (more efficient) for the city of Natal is the mixed type (horizontal and vertical) and that the vertical shade elements are more efficient in the early mornings and late afternoon. The horizontal shade elements are used more effective at midday. We intend to present the results of this study to the architects in the region in order to show them the correct ways of using the shade elements according to the possible orientation on the facade, as a supporting tool at the time of designing a project as well as a subsidy for further discussions on the elaboration of the new urban standards for the city of Natal/RN

A conceptual discussion on architectural type and its role in theory and practice supports the construction of an analytical tool used for recognizing the typological evolution of hospital architecture in Western societies. The same tool is applied to analyze the typological evolution of hospital architecture in Natal, Brazil, through a sample of eighteen hospitals built in the city since the beginnings of 20th century. The conclusion is that typological evolution in Natal is almost the same as occidental one, except for a few singularities that can be explained by local social and economic development

Nowadays the acquisition of sustainable elements and concepts in construction has been increasingly discussed, improved and incorporated to buildings, since the sector directly interferes in the urban space and environment, representing environmental impact. In order to make a sustainable building (Green Building) it is vital to incorporate less damaging constructive practice, starting from the project until the operation of the enterprise, that means to consider an integrated process of conception, implementation, construction and operation. The more effective sustainable principles participation in architecture happens at the projecting step through minimal environment impact solutions. Among the issues varieties that goes with sustainability proposal of the buildings project, there were added to this work the elements that are directly attached to bioclimatic architecture, more specifically the climate variation, ventilation, lighting and sunlight, that directly affect the project conception. It is important to put in evidence that architecture role goes far beyond the simple activity of building spaces; it is the sequence of political, economic, social and cultural elements, having the users as the main apparatus to its materialization. Thereby this professional dissertation consists of an architecture draft for a professional and technological school in the Rio Grande do Norte State, this dissertation is based on the analysis of previous experience and the bioclimatic principles that implicate in building on hot and dry, hot and humid climates, and the use of strategic solutions that aim the optimization of natural light and ventilation

O arroz (Oryza sativa, L.), como todos os cereais, pode ser contaminado por fungos responsáveis por danos tecnológicos, nutricionais e toxicológicos, dentre eles a produção de micotoxinas. Diversas toxinas fúngicas produzidas pelo gênero Fusarium tem sido relatadas em arroz, no entanto a fumonisina B1 (FB1) é pouco estudada neste grão. As principais características da FB1 é a alta solubilidade em solventes polares, estabilidade a altas temperaturas além de efeitos neurotóxicos e carcinogênicos. Assim o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do tratamento térmico e hidrotérmico nos teores de fumonisina B1 e nas características químicas de arroz comercial. Na primeira etapa do trabalho foi adaptado um método para detecção e quantificação de FB1 em arroz cru e após cocção, por HPLC-FL. O método foi avaliado quanto aos indicativos de eficiência destacando-se o LOD (30 µg.kg-1) e a recuperação ( 90% para arroz cru e 86% pra arroz cozido). Na segunda etapa realizou-se o levantamento de ocorrência de FB1 em 05 diferentes amostras comerciais de arroz integral, branco e parboilizado da cidade de Rio Grande, RS, totalizando 9 amostras. Foi detectada a presença de FB1 em 7 das 9 amostras, sendo que os maiores índices foram encontrados em amostras de arroz parboilizado e integral apresentando níveis de contaminação entre 30 e 170 µg.kg-1. A terceira etapa do trabalho consistiu no estudo do efeito de tratamentos térmicos sobre os níveis de FB1 em amostras após aplicação de calor. Foram testados tratamento hidrotérmico com evaporação, tratamento hidrotérmico com autoclavagem e tratamento térmico seco. O maior nível de redução dos teores iniciais de FB1 foi 82,8% quando se empregou tratamento térmico seco a 125 °C/3 min. Ainda foram avaliados os efeitos do t ratamento hidrotérmico com evaporação de água na composição química e na digestibilidade protéica. Esta característica proporcionou aumento de até 100% na digestibilidade in vitro das proteínas e reduziu em média 73% do teor de contaminação com FB1.

A segurança do doente revela-se como uma das questões mais importantes ao nível da política de saúde e do debate público (OCDE, 2014). A Comissão Europeia refere que, não existindo qualquer alteração de política de saúde, o número de eventos adversos associados à hospitalização, na União Europeia, rondaria os dez milhões por ano, dos quais cerca de 4,4 milhões seriam evitáveis. Tendo em conta os dados acima apresentados de que forma nós, na nossa prática de cuidados podemos contribuir para a segurança do doente, nomeadamente, em doentes submetidos a estudos electrofisiológicos e implantação de dispositivos cardíaco (PMD / CDI). Nesta prelecção iremos abordar o percurso do doente, desde que este é informado da necessidade de implantação de um dispositivo cardíaco, em consulta médica, até ao seu seguimento no pós-alta, em consulta de enfermagem. Deste modo, podemos constatar que a nossa prática diária de cuidados vai de encontro às recomendações do Conselho Europeu (2009) para a segurança do doente. Os serviços de saúde devem ser orientados para o doente, ou seja, comunicar e interagir com os doentes num ambiente humanizado, de forma a minimizar o desconforto associado à situação que os leva a recorrer aos serviços de saúde.

The chemical changes in clay minerals has been widely studied in order to improve its properties for use in various applications. However kaolinite has strong hydrogen bonds between their adjacent layers hindering the process changes in its structure. With the objective to facilitate the process of intercalation monobasic potassium phosphate, bibasic potassium phosphate and potassium acetate we was performed on kaolinite heat treatment at 600 °C and activated acidic with phosphoric acid and 5 to 10 mol L-1. The samples they were characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Infrared Spectroscopy Fourier Transform (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTG) and the superficial and textural changes the samples with heat treatment and acid activation they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Textural Analysis of Adsorption/desorption N2. With the help of the techniques found that, the heat treatment becomes more susceptible to acid activation kaolinite making the samples with two treatments show larger amounts of phosphorus. It was also found that bibasic potassium phosphate binds more strongly the structure of kaolinite by having a structure with two-coordinating oxygens and intercalation with potassium acetate in acid-activated kaolin increases the interlayer distance of the kaolinite and the intercalation occurs with higher response index (RI) for samples with acid activation to 5 mol /L.

A fotogrametria é uma técnica que utiliza a fotografia como ponto de partida, tendo várias aplicações, como por exemplo, o levantamento topográfico de terrenos, edifícios e monumentos. Nesta dissertação foi aplicada a técnica ao levantamento de edifícios e monumentos, em alternativa aos levantamentos tradicionais, onde todas as medições são obtidas manualmente. Foram escolhidos uma fachada de um edifício e um monumento histórico da cidade de Viseu, cujos levantamentos foram realizados utilizando recursos correntes e disponíveis no Departamento de Engenharia Civil da Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão de Viseu. Utilizou-se, também, um programa informático desenvolvido especificamente para a fotogrametria. Os levantamentos realizados geraram modelos 3D em wireframe (estrutura de arame) e com texturas. Após a retificação dos modelos, cotaram-se os desenhos, sendo possível efetuar medições dos elementos constituintes da fachada do edifício e do monumento.
