Instalação e Configuração do PostgreSQL no Linux via código-fonte.

Apesar de exigir maior grau de dificuldade do que a instalação via pacotes, a instalação via código-fonte oferece uma infinidade de recursos em relação à primeira, tais como: definir a estrutura de diretórios para binários, bibliotecas, módulos, manuais e demais arquivos do SGBD conforme o desejado, o que facilita a organização, localização e manutenção do PostgreSQL; ativar suporte a um determinado idioma, para tradução de mensagens; construir suporte a determinadas linguagens ou módulos; definir alguns parâmetros padrões; além de conceber maior controle e segurança nas atualizações de versões do SGBD, evitando assim, atualizações automáticas indesejáveis por meio do sistema operacional e a conseqüente perda de bases de dados; entre outros. Para este trabalho, foi utilizado o sistema operacional Ubuntu Server 8.04.1, contudo, este tutorial é totalmente aplicável e compatível a outras versões Ubuntu, bem como a outras distribuições Linux, respeitando, é claro, as particularidades de algumas distribuições, como a estrutura de diretórios destes. Quanto ao SGBD PostgreSQL, foi adotado a versão 8.3.4, lançada em Setembro/2008, contudo, este tutorial se aplica também à versões inferiores 8.x.x deste SGBD.

A novel approach to Co/CNTs catalyst via chemical vapor deposition of organometallic compounds

A novel approach for attaching well-dispersed cobalt nanoparticles homogeneously onto carbon nanotubes via metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique is reported. The obtained Co/CNTs catalysts feature a narrow size distribution of Co particles centering around 7.5 nm, and show high activity and regioselectivity for hydroformylation of 1-octene.

Combined single-pass conversion of methane via oxidative coupling and dehydro-aromatization

A single-pass process with the combination of oxidative coupling (OCM) and dehydro-aromatization (MDA) for the direct conversion of methane is carried out. With the assistance of the OCM reaction over the SrO-La2O3/CaO catalyst loaded on top of the catalyst bed, the duration of the dehydro-aromatization reaction catalyzed by a 6Mo/HMCM-49 catalyst shows a significant improvement, and. the initial deactivation rate constant of the overall process revealed about 1.5 x 10(-6) s(-1). Up to 72 h on stream, the yield of aromatics was still maintained at 5.0% with a methane conversion of 9.6%, which is obviously higher than that reported for the conventional MDA process with single catalyst. Upon the TPR results, this wonderful enhancement would be attributed to an in-situ formation of CO2 and H2O through the OCM reaction, which serves as a scavenger for actively removing the coke formed during the MDA reaction via a reverse Boudouard reaction and the water gas reaction as well.

Evaluation of a national evidence-based health care course via teleconference in a developing country

Rationale, aims and objectives Continuing health education is essential but challenged. in 2006, the Brazilian Cochrane Center, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, launched a mass teaching initiative in evidence-based health care (EBH) for public-sector professionals via teleconferencing. This 152-hour, interactive EBH course has enrolled over 4500 professionals. This study aimed to assess the acquisition EBH knowledge and skills, as well as the attitudes and perceptions of a sample of students enrolled in the 2009 course via teleconferencing.Methods This prospective cohort study analyzed three aspects of this 152-hour EBH course that recruited 1040 volunteer participants, all public health sector employees working in 131 different hospitals or health agencies. Pre- and post-course tests using a modified version of the Berlin questionnaire with 20 multiple-choice questions were used to examine knowledge acquisition in a sample of 297 students. Tests were completed upon registration and at course completion. the research projects submitted by 872 participants were evaluated to assess skill acquisition. Answers to an anonymous survey assessed the attitudes and perceptions of 914 participants.Results There was a significant increase in knowledge from baseline to course completion (mean scores 8.2 +/- 3.3 versus 13.7 +/- 3.0, P < 0.001). Over 90% of the research projects were judged to be of adequate quality (appropriate rationale for the study, well-formulated research question and feasible execution); over 95% of the participants were satisfied with the course.Conclusion the Brazilian EBH course via teleconference improved the knowledge and skills of public-sector health professionals and was approved by the vast majority of students.

Stability of time-delay systems via Lyapunov functions

In this paper, a Lyapunov function candidate is introduced for multivariable systems with inner delays, without assuming a priori stability for the nondelayed subsystem. By using this Lyapunov function, a controller is deduced. Such a controller utilizes an input-output description of the original system, a circumstance that facilitates practical applications of the proposed approach.
