Endogenous Unions Formation

This paper analyzes the process of endogenous union formation in the context of a sequential bargaining model between a firm and several unions and tries to explain why workers may be represented by several unions of different sizes. We show that the equilibrium number of unions and their relative size depend on workers' attitudes toward the risk of unemployment and union configuration is independent of labor productivity.

Union Formation and Bargaining Rules in the Labor Market

This paper analyzes union formation in a model of bargaining between a firm and several unions. We address two questions: first, the optimal configuration of unions (their number and size) and, second, the impact of the bargaining pattern (simultaneous or sequential). For workers, grouping into several unions works as a price discrimination device which, at the same time, decreases their market power. The analysis shows that optimal union configuration depends on the rules that regulate the bargaining process (monopoly union, Nash bargaining or right to manage).

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 285]

Constituintes visitam Jericoacoara(CE) para conhecer a região e os problemas que ameaçam o litoral brasileiro. O Deputado Fábio Feldmann (PMDB-SP) informa que as estações ecológicas e as áreas de proteção ambiental existem somente no papel, sendo necessária uma efetiva implantação para a preservação dos recursos naturais. O Deputado César Cals Neto (PDS-CE) declara que a audiência da Constituinte, no Estado do Ceará, fortalece a luta para preservar o meio ambiente no estado e em todo o país. A Constiutinte irá criar o princípio geral, depois haverá o detalhamento e a operacionalização de leis que sejam realmente válidas, viáveis e cumpridas. Em Fortaleza (CE) a Frente Nacional de Ação Ecológica na Constituinte visitou o aterro do lixo, uma das zonas mais insalubres da capital. O Deputado Raimundo Bezerra (PMDB-CE) ressalta que o Brasil deveria ter aterros sanitários, industrialização do lixo com proteção ao homem e ao meio ambiente. No encontro com o governador do Ceará, Tasso Jeiressati (PMDB-CE), constituintes abordaram suas preocupações com a defesa ecológica. O governador informou que o governo do Estado está criando uma superintendência do meio ambiente como forma de acompanhar todos esses problemas. Jeiressati também afirma que a visita dessa Comissão ajuda a trazer novas atitudes aos problemas não atentados. Constituintes lembram que no substitutivo do relator Bernardo Cabral (PMDB-AM), existe todo um capítulo destinado ao meio ambiente. Este capítulo afirma que a Floresta Amazônica, Mata Atlântica, Serra do Mar, Pantanal e Zona Costeira são patrimônio nacional. O Deputado Ruy Nedel (PMDB-RS) declara que está estarrecido com o processo imobiliário em grande parte do litoral nacional que tem eliminado os valores naturais da região.

High-Temperature Effects on Growth and Propagule Formation in Hydrilla Biotypes

In consecutive greenhouse studies, growth and propagule formation were examined first in monoecious hydrilla [Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle], then in dioecious hydrilla, at three temperature levels (25, 30, and 35 C) and contrasted over three periods of growth (8, 12 and 16 wks). Each biotype was grown under natural photoperiods, decreasing from 14 hrs (in Oct, Nov, and Dec). For both biotypes, total biomass and root-to-shoot ratios were significantly reduced at 35 C; greater biomass was produced both at 25 and 30C. Increases in growth period generally enhanced total biomass and shoot production; however, shoot length was unresponsive to growth periods beyond 8 wks. The 35C treatment strongly impeded tuber formation and eliminat4ed the production of axillary turions; the number and biomass of these propagules peaked at lower temperatures under short photoperiods after 12 to 16 wks. Shoot elongation was stimulated with increases in temperature and was especially pronounced in the dioecious biotype. Notably, in the monoecious biotype, the number of shoots as a potential source of fragments, and tuber production (although reduced) occurred at relatively high levels under unfavorably hihg-temperature (35C) conditions. These results suggest that monoecious hydrilla may be better adapted to high temperatures than previously shown, and that the distribution of both biotypes in the U.S. could overlap further in southern states.

Simulation of Severe Slugging Formation and Control in Offshore Riser

In this paper, available elimination techniques are assessed. OLGA2000 software is used to simulate severe slugging formation mechanism in certain offshore riser. The simulation results show that pressure fluctuations of riser base and riser top is very large and severe slugging easily forms. Sensibility analysis shows that the measures and methods which include properly reducing pipe riser diameter, reducing water cut increasing terminal pressure, decreasing the height and inclination of riser and increasing GOR can eliminate or control severe slugging in riser pipe.

Poezias de Pedro de Andrade Caminha, mandadas publicar pela Academia Real das Sciencias de Lisboa

Pedro de Andrade Caminha, poeta português, nasceu no Porto em 1520 e morreu em Vila Viçosa em 1589. Apenas em 1791 a Academia das Ciencias reuniu e mandou publicar suas poesias num total de quatro centos e cinquenta e quatro trabalhos. Segundo Inocêncio, ‘a coleção foi feita sobre os manuscritos que separadamente existiam, um na livraria do Convento da Graça de Lisboa, contendo as éclogas, epístolas, odes, epitáfios e algumas elegias, etc.; outro na do Duque de Cadaval, que continha os epitalâmios, epigramas, outras elegias, e duas epístolas; e aproveitaram-se também alguns sonetos e outros pequenos poemas, que andavam sendo impressos desde o tempo do autor, mas incorporados em obras de diversos autores. Deste modo se completou esta primeira e única edição, dirigida pelos cuidados do então secretário da Academia José Correia da Serra, de quem é o prólogo que a precede’

Formation and Structure of Composite Coating of HAD and Micro-Plasma Oxidation on A3 Steel

Composite coatings were obtained on A3 steel by hot dipping aluminum(HAD) at 720 degreesC for 6 min and micro-plasma oxidation (MPO) in alkali electrolyte. The surface morphology, element distribution and interface structure of composite coatings were studied by means of XRD, SEM and EDS. The results show that the composite coatings obtained through HAD/MPO on A3 steel consist of four layers. From the surface to the substrate, the layer is loose Al2O3 ceramic, compact Al2O3 ceramic, At and FeAl intermetallic compound layer in turn. The adhesions among all the layers are strengthened because the ceramic layer formed at the At surface originally, FeAl intermetallic compound layer and substrate are combined in metallurgical form through mutual diffusion during HAD process. Initial experiment results disclose that the anti-corrosion performance and wear resistance of composite coating are obviously improved through HAD/MPO treatment.

Chemical equilibrium analysis and CFD simulation of coal combustion and NOx formation

A full two-fluid model of reacting gas-particle flows with an algebraic unified second-order moment (AUSM) turbulence-chemistry model is used to simulate Beijing coal combustion and NOx formation. The sub-models are the k-epsilon-kp two-phase turbulence model, the EBU-Arrhenius volatile and CO combustion model, the six-flux radiation model, coal devolatilization model and char combustion model. The blocking effect on NOx formation is discussed. In addition, the chemical equilibrium analysis is used to predict NOx concentration at different temperature. Results of CID simulation and chemical equilibrium analysis show that, optimizing air dynamic parameters can delay the NOx formation and decrease NOx emission, but it is effective only in a restricted range. In order to decrease NOx emission near to zero, the re-burning or other chemical methods must be used.

Numerical Solution for Polymer Transient Flows in a Circle Bounded Composite Formation

A new numerical model for transient flows of polymer solution in a circular bounded composite formation is presented in this paper. Typical curves of the wellbore transient pressure are yielded by FEM. The effects of non-Newtonian power-law index, mobility and boundary distance have been considered. It is found that for the mobility ratio larger than 1, which is favorable for the polymer flooding, the pressure derivative curve in log-log form rises up without any hollow. On the other hand, if the pressure derivative curve has a hollow and then is raised up, we say that the polymer flooding fails. Finally, the new model has been extended to more complicated boundary case.

Nanocrystalline Formation during Mechanical Attrition of Cobalt

The nanocrystalline (nc) formation was studied in cobalt (a mixture of c (hexagonal close packed) and gamma (face-centered cubic) phases) subjected to surface mechanical attrition treatment. Electron microscopy revealed the operation of {10(1) over bar 0}< 11(2) over bar 0 > prismatic and {0001}< 11(2) over bar 0 > basal slip in the E phase, leading to the successive subdivision of grains to nanoscale. In particular, the dislocation splitting into the stacking faults was observed to occur in ultrafine and nc grains. By contrast, the planar dislocation arrays, twins and martensites were evidenced in the gamma phase. The strain-induced gamma ->epsilon martensitic transformation was found to progress continuously in ultrafine and nc grains as the strain increased. The nc formation in the gamma phase was interpreted in terms of the martensitic transformation and twinning.
