Arquitectura domèstica al Bronze Final i Primera Edat del Ferro a Catalunya: habitacions construïdes amb materials duradors: estat de la qüestió

El present treball es proposa l'estudi fonnal de I'habitat construtt amb materials duradors a Catalunya durant el Bronze Final i la Primera Edat del Ferro, i se centra en l'aninisi dels materials i tecniques de construcció emprats, així com en l' estructura de la casa (planta, dimensions, superfície). Els elements definidors d'aquests habitacles en els períodes estudiats consisteixen en l'ús sistematic de la pedra i la terra com a materials de construcció i la disposició d'habitacions de planta rectangular compartint parets mitgeres, amb poca compartimentació interna i pocs agenc¡:aments al seu interior (llar, forn, banquetes). Les dimensions maximes d'aquestes habitacions no superen, per nonna general, els 20 metres quadrats. La unifonnitat d'aquestes construccions, unida a la poca compartimentació de l'espai, suggereix que ens trobem davant una arquitectura poc especialitzada, que podria correspondre a una societat amb una organització socio-política poc complexa.

O usuário final da busca informatizada: avaliação da capacitação no acesso a bases de dados em biblioteca acadêmica

Avalia os resultados da capacitação de usuários em buscas informatizadas, por meio do Curso de Acesso às Bases em cd-rom Medline e Lilacs, modalidade do Programa Educativo da Biblioteca/CIR da Faculdade de Saúde Publica da USP, oferecido a docentes e alunos da pós-graduação em saúde pública. O universo de estudo foi constituído de 92 participantes entre 1993 e 1995. Os resultados mostraram que, após a participação no Curso, 65,2% deles conseguiram autonomia no uso das bases de dados, 15,2% solicitaram buscas intermediadas pelo bibliotecário, bem como 19,6% não realizaram forma alguma de busca nas bases da Biblioteca. A intermediação dos bibliotecários foi solicitada por motivos como: pouca familiaridade com as bases, dificuldade em lidar com tecnologia, confiança na busca realizada pelo bibliotecário e falta de tempo para buscas. O egresso do curso que não realizou busca informatizada alegou não ter tido necessidade de fazê-lo no período estudado.

Final Research and Analysis Report: Iowa Energy Poll, January 15, 2009

 The Iowa Power Fund and the Office of Energy Independence are charged with the responsibility of creating an economically viable and sound energy future for Iowa through energy independence. This vision can only be achieved if a majority, if not all Iowans, are united in this cause and actively participate in it

Early-onset Crohn's disease is a risk factor for smaller final height

OBJECTIVES: Growth retardation is a frequent complication of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Only a few studies report the final height of these patients, with controversial results. We compared adult height of patients with paediatric IBD with that of patients with adult-onset disease. METHODS: Height data of 675 women 19-44 years of age and 454 men 23-44 years of age obtained at inclusion in the Swiss IBD cohort study registry were grouped according to the age at diagnosis: (a) prepubertal (men≤13, women≤11 years), (b) pubertal (men 13-22, women 11-18 years) and (c) adult (men>22, women>18 years of age), and compared with each other and with healthy controls. RESULTS: Male patients with prepubertal onset of Crohn's disease (CD) had significantly lower final height (mean 172±6 cm, range 161-182) compared with men with pubertal (179±6 cm, 161-192) or adult (178±7 cm, 162-200) age at onset and the general population (178±7 cm, 142-204). Height z-scores standardized against heights of the normal population were significantly lower in all patients with a prepubertal diagnosis of CD (-0.8±0.9) compared with the other patient groups (-0.1±0.8, P<0.001). Prepubertal onset of CD emerged as a risk factor for reduced final height in patients with prepubertal CD. No difference for final height was found between patients with ulcerative or unclassified IBD diagnosed at prepubertal, pubertal or adult age. CONCLUSION: Prepubertal onset of CD is a risk for lower final height, independent of the initial disease location and the necessity for surgical interventions.

Location referencing system team report : final report, 1998

This report is a culmination of the Location Referencing System (LRS) team. The team was charged with defining a system that coordinates the collection storage, and access to location referencing information by developing an LRS to be used throughout the Iowa DOT.

Trocas gasosas em videira sob regime de estresse hídrico. II. fotorrespiração e comportamento varietal

Analisou-se a fotorrespiração em folhas de videira (Vitis vinifera L.) submetidas a um regime de estresse hídrico, com o objetivo de caracterizar o comportamento de diferentes cultivares. Foram utilizadas plantas de dois anos, enxertadas sobre o porta-enxerto Fercal, plantadas em vasos plásticos e cultivadas em ambiente controlado. A fotorrespiração foi calculada a partir de medidas das trocas gasosas foliares. Os valores absolutos da fotorrespiração variaram pouco entre cultivares e nível de irrigação; já a eficiência da carboxilação e o ponto de compensação ao CO2 foram bastante afetados pelo estresse hídrico, o que revela diferentes níveis de sensibilidade varietal. Foi verificada a ocorrência de inibição não-estomática da fotossíntese, afetando diferencialmente as cultivares analisadas. Destacou-se, ainda, a maior adaptação da Chardonnay às condições de estresse hídrico, em oposição à grande sensibilidade da Sémillon e da Ugni blanc.

Airborne GPS Final Report, HR-359, 1995

The objective of this project was to use a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the aerial camera location and orientation that best facilitated mapping done from aerial photographs without any ground control. Four test flights were conducted. The first test flight was performed in June 1993 at St. Louis, with the objective of testing the multiantenna concept using two antenna on the aircraft. The second test in August 1993 was conducted over the Iowa State University (ISU) campus at Ames. This flight evaluated the use of GPS for pinpoint navigation. The third test flight over St. Louis was flown in October 1993, with four antenna on aircraft; its objective was to evaluate the 3DF GPS receiver and the antenna locations. On the basis of the results of these three tests, a final test flight over the Mustang Project area in Ames and the ISU campus was conducted in June 1994. Analysis of these data showed that airborne GPS can be used (1) in pinpoint navigation with an accuracy of 25 m or better, (2) to determine the location of the camera nodal point with an accuracy of 10 cm or better, and (3) to determine the orientation angles of the camera with an accuracy of 0.0001 radians or better. In addition, the exterior orientation elements determined by airborne GPS can be used to rectify aerial photos, to produce orthophotos, and in direct stereo plotting. Further research is recommended in these areas to maximize the use of airborne GPS. The report is organized in the following chapters: (1) Introduction; (2) Photogrammetry and Kinematic GPS; (3) Analysis of First Test; (4) Analysis of Second Test; (5) Analysis of Third Test; (6) Analysis of Final Test; (7) Applications of Airborne GPS; and (8) Conclusion and Recommendation.
