Fácies e associação de fácies da formação Pirambóia na região de Descalvado/SP

The Pirambóia Formation is a lithostratigraphic unit of the Paraná Basin, positioned between the Corumbataí (lower) and Botucatu (upper) Formations on the eastern edge of the basin. This unit is focused by many studies due to its great importance as an essential component in the Guarani Aquifer System (SAG) and the petroleum system “Irati-Pirambóia”, as excellent reservoirs. The Pirambóia Formation is historically the subject of several controversies on issues like age, contact relationships with the upper unit and depositional paleoenvironment. Despite these aspects, the Pirambóia Formation is commonly taken to be of Triassic age and is considered a product of wet aeolian systems, with plenty of wet interdunes and subordinate fluvial facies. In this work, by using techniques such as facies analysis, depositional architecture and facies association, facies of this unit were characterized and their depositional paleoenvironment was inferred particularly in Jundu Mining, region of Descalvado in northeastern São Paulo. Techniques such as grain size and petrographic analyses, aimed to characterize this unit as a potential reservoir rock. Five facies were described for the Pirambóia Formation in the studied region: St, Sh, Sm, Sr and Gt facies, generated by sedimentary processes of the bottom load type, mostly under low flow regime (with exception for the Sh facies, which is formed by upper flow regime processes). In addition to that, four facies associations were recognized from the architectural elements, primarily contained within the main channel: complex channel bars, composed by foreset macroforms (FM), sandy bedforms (SB) and gravel bars and bedforms (GB); flood deposits, constituted by laminated sand sheets (LS); deposits of hyperconcentrated flows and eolian deposits. It was interpreted that the Pirambóia Formation in Descalvado (SP) is the record of the sedimentation of braided rivers, with dunes and interdunes deposits...

A implantação da televisão digital terrestre na Espanha

This monograph has as objectives introduce digital terrestrial television, describing the process of installation of this in Spain, their technical qualities and possibilities of change and innovation that this creates. The exposure of the different chapters of this monograph has a objective presenting and discussing what are the characteristics of this new technology, your birth, what is its importance in communication and how this is inserted inside the Spanish reality. The introduction of digital terrestrial television in Spain is cited as an example of a pioneer in the development and installation of this new technology, but also appears as a nation that has come a way with some economic failures, reaching one of the largest cases of delayed installation of digital television in Western Europe. Making use of the European system for digital terrestrial television (DVB-T - Digital Video Broadcasting) it was possible some advances as the quality of communication and strengthening national public television system, but many vices of analog system were transferred this new system, as the concentration of channels to a foreign group and interactivity opportunities were wasted. Digital terrestrial television can provides better picture quality and sound, possibility of interactivity, mobility, hypermedia and multiprogramming, while the latter tool may lead to the democratization of media, opening it to other social agents. Going much further than just a technological advancement, digital television is strongly connected with the politics and the economy of the nation in which it operates

Avaliação da atividade anti -ulcerogênica, antidiarréica e antiinflamatõria de astronium fraxinifolium Schott: Uma espécie medicinal do cerrado

Este trabalho visa o estudo dos efeitos biológicos dos extratos hidroalcóolicos (HDA) obtidos das cascas e folhas de Astronium fraxinifolium (Anacardiaceae), uma espécie medicinal do Cerrado brasileiro. Com base nas indicações populares de uso da espécie no combate a diversos males como a diarréia, cólicas, inflamação e reumatismo e a confirmação pela literatura da atividade gastroprotetora da espécie congênere Astronium urundeuva, foram realizados modelos experimentais in vivo para caracterizar a propriedade anti-úlcera, antidiarrêica e antiinflamatória dos extratos hidroalcóolicos de cascas (A.f.cs) e folhas (A.f.fol) de A. fraxinifolium. A propriedade antiulcerogênica dos A.f.cs e A.f.fol, administrado pela via oral, em diferentes doses (125, 250 e 500 mg/kg) foi avaliada em modelos experimentais in vivo em que os ratos Wistar machos foram confrontados com agentes ulcerogênicos químicos como etanol absoluto e droga antiinflamatória não-esteroidal (DAINE). Os fatores envolvidos na gastroproteção dos extratos foram avaliados através da quantificação de glutationa total do raspado da mucosa, volume do suco gástrico, concentração de íons H+ e pH do suco gástrico. A atuação de fatores protetores da mucosa gástrica como óxido nítrico (NO) e compostos sulfidrílicos (SH) também foram analisados sob efeito de ambos os extratos. A propriedade antidiarrêica dos extratos (500 mg/kg, p.o.) também foi avaliada através da motilidade intestinal, índice de evacuações e acumulo de fluidos intestinais. Ambos os extratos (500 mg/kg, p.o. e 50 mg/kg, i.p.) também foram submetidos a avaliação em dois modelos experimentais (edema da pata induzida por carragenina e teste de formalina) onde as propriedades antiedematogênica e antiinflamatória foram analisadas em roedores. Ambos os extratos foram estudos fitoquimicamente em CLAE-DAE... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Transmission enhancement in chalco-halide glasses for multiband applications

The potential of clear Ga2S3-GeS2-CsCl based sulfide glasses transparent up to 11.5 μm to be used as new optical material for multispectral applications has been investigated. The addition of large amount of chlorine ions – above 40 mol.% of CsCl – into the chalcogenide vitreous network in order to produce colorless glasses results in a drastic increase of their water contamination. We report for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the purification of cesium chloride CsCl by dynamic distillations under vacuum in order to reduce water and hydroxyl group contamination before complete melting of the glass. Besides, sulfur purification by dynamic and static distillations was also performed in the implemented method. The obtained glasses were then characterized by UV-visible and infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), thermal analysis (DSC), and their refractive indices in the visible and near infrared ranges were also measured. A large improvement of the glass transmission spectrum has been achieved with an estimated reduction of about 45 times of the OH and H2O content and 60 times of the SH content. The glass thermal molding ability and chemical durability with and without protective coating have been tested to probe their potential for fabrication of complex optics.
