Zoo 2.0“ – Die optimale Unternehmensdarstellung und Kundenbindung im größten sozialen Netzwerk Facebook

Die vorliegende Arbeit beleuchtet die Möglichkeiten des Web 2.0 als Instrument der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, mit speziellem Fokus auf die entsprechenden Potenziale von Facebook. Es wird untersucht, wie drei ausgewählte Zoos diese Palette an Möglichkeiten nutzen und sich den Nutzern präsentieren: Spiegeln sie die vier Hauptaufgaben eines Zoos – Erholung/Unterhaltung, Bildung, Natur- und Artenschutz sowie Forschung – inhaltlich auf dem sozialen Netzwerk wider? Und letztlich wird die Frage geklärt, ob Facebook für die PR eines Zoos ein Muss ist oder es besser heißen sollte: zurück zur althergebrachten Pressearbeit.

Estudo sobre o processamento do palmito (Euterpe edulis Mart.). por apertização: III. Influencia de soluções de espera e tempos de esterilização

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a influência da composição da solução de espera e de tempos de esterilização na qualidade do palmito (Euterpe edulis Mart.) processado por apertização. Os resultados mostraram que, de um modo geral, o melhor método de processamento foi o que empregou a solução de espera 5% NaCl + 1% K2S2O5 Combinada com os tempos de esterilização de 50 minutos para os três primeiros cortes e de 60 minutos para os últimos cortes. Para os três primeiros cortes, em particular, o método que empregou a solução de espera 5% NaCl+1% ácido cítrico combinada com o tempo de esterilização de 45 minutos, foi o que apresentou os melhores resultados para todos os atributos de qualidade, exceto para "flavor", em que a solução de espera 1% ácido cítrico+0,25% ácido ascórbico com 40 minutos de esterilização foi superior.

O emprego das soluções de HCl 0,1 N de EDTA (NH4)2 CO3 e da ditizona - acetato de amônio na extração de zinco em solos de Piracicaba

Foram feitas determinações de zinco total, solúvel em HCl 0,1 N, solúvel em EDTA-(NH4) 2CO3 e solúvel em ditizona em 8 perfis de solos de 8 séries de solos do município de Piracicaba, Estado de São Paulo-Brasil. Para determinação do zinco total, solúvel em HCl 0,1 N, solúvel em EDTA(NH4/2CO3 e solúvel em ditizona, usouse o método de TRIERWEILER e LINDSAY (1968) e para a ditizona (NH4/2SO4 o método de SHAW e DEAN (1952). Foram estudadas as correlações entre as soluções extratoras de zinco e o zinco total, e o confronto entre os extratores químicos. A solução extratora de HCl 0,1 N extraiu maior quantidade de zinco do que as soluções do EDTA-carbonato de amônio e de ditizona acetato de amônio. Esta, por sua vez, na maior parte dos casos, não diferiu da solução do EDTA-carbonato de amônio. Estudo de correlações entre as soluções extratoras e o zinco total mostrou que apenas o HCl 0,1 N apresentou tal correlação. As principais conclusões foram as seguintes: 1- Os teores de zinco total para os perfis de solos situam-se entre 23 e 128 ppm de Zn. 2- As séries Bairrinho, Luiz de Queiroz e Guamium foram as mais altas em Zn total (46 a 128 ppm). 3- As séries Paredão Vermelho, Quebra Dente, Monte Olimpo e Lageadinho foram as mais baixas em zinco total (23 a 55 ppm de Zn). 4- O HCl 0,1 N extraiu mais zinco do que as soluções de EDTA- (NH4) 2CO3 e da ditizona e acetato de amônio. Entre estas duas soluções não houve diferença nos teores. 5- Os solos Luiz de Queiroz, Lageadinho e Bairrinho, foram os altos em zinco solúvel, pelas soluções extratoras.

Sobre o bi-iodeto de cobre: ensaios de farmacodinamica

O Cul² prepara-se sob a forma de hidrosol cuja dosagem pode ser rigorosa. De suas propriedades quimicas já estudadas por TRAUBE é mais notavel a sensibilidade desse corpo ao oxijeno nacente. Basta em verdade 0,00001 de H²O² para que o Cul² se decomponha desprendendo-se I. Inversamente ele decompõe a agua oxijenada em solução neutra a 1 % (Perhydrol MERCK). O oxijeno do ar atmosferico só o decompõe muito lentamente. As soluções se conservam bem por 6 mezes em vidro escuro. Mesmo em 24 horas, uma corrente de ar não o altera. A ação hemolitica desse hidrosol depende principalmente da H²O distilada que entra em sua composição. Em uma solução isotonisada pelo NaCl, a ação hemolitica diminue proporcionalmente ao aumento de concentração de NaCl, ainda mesmo que se aumente a concentração em Cul². A concentração em Cul² só tem influencia manifesta sobre o fenomeno da precipitação da hemoglobina, sobre a qual ele aje como redutor. Tem ação fixadora sobre os leucocitos, e aglutinante sobre as hematias. Não destroe o fermento da fibrina nem a catalase do sangue. Precipita os albuminoides do soro, pelo menos in vitro. In vivo, esses fenomenos não são aparentes. Foi possivel a aplicação do Cul² por via venosa, sem que isso tivesse determinado acidentes nos animais experimentados (cão, cobaia, coelho, rato). Por via peritoneal não era suportado pelo coelho, nem pela cobaia, morrendo os animais dentro das primeiras 24 horas. Por via subcutanea não era tolerado facilmente por cobaias e ratos. Formava-se sempre escara no ponto da inoculação. O cão tolerava bem as inoculaçõis subcutaneas. Mostrou-se esse hidrosol ineficaz na esporotricose e tuberculose experimentais. Ao terminar, deixo aqui consignado ao distinto colega Dr. ANTONIO PINTO JNR. os meus agradecimentos pelo valioso concurso prestado em toda a parte experimental por ele acompanhada com a maior dedicação e boa vontade.

Distortion of surface groups in Cat (0) free-by-cyclic groups

Given a non-positively curved 2-complex with a circle-valued Morse function satisfying some extra combinatorial conditions, we describe how to locally isometrically embed this in a larger non- positively curved 2-complex with free-by-cyclic fundamental group. This embedding procedure is used to produce examples of CAT(0) free-by-cyclic groups that contain closed hyperbolic surface subgroups with polynomial distortion of arbitrary degree. We also produce examples of CAT(0) hyperbolic free-by-cyclic groups that contain closed hyperbolic surface subgroups that are exponentially distorted.

Cat(0) and Cat (-1) dimensions of torsion free

We show that a particular free-by-cyclic group has CAT(0) dimension equal to 2, but CAT(-1) dimension equal to 3. We also classify the minimal proper 2-dimensional CAT(0) actions of this group; they correspond, up to scaling, to a 1-parameter family of locally CAT(0) piecewise Euclidean metrics on a fixed presentation complex for the group. This information is used to produce an infinite family of 2-dimensional hyperbolic groups, which do not act properly by isometries on any proper CAT(0) metric space of dimension 2. This family includes a free-by-cyclic group with free kernel of rank 6.

Pharmacokinetic aspects of Tert-Butylaminoethyl disulfide, an experimental drug against schistosomiasis in mice

A preliminary study of the pharmacokinetic parameters of t-Butylaminoethyl disulfide was performed after administration of two different single doses (35 and 300 mg/kg) of either the cold or labelled drug. Plasma or blood samples were treated with dithiothreitol, perchloric acid, and, after filtration, submitted to further purification with anionic resein. In the final step, the drug was retained on a cationic resin column, eluted with NaCl 1M and detected according to the method of Ellman (1958). Alternatively, radioactive drug was detected by liquid scintillation counting. The results corresponding to the smaller dose of total drug suggested a pharmacokinetic behavior related to a one open compartment model with the following parameters: area under the intravenous curve (AUC i.v.):671 ± 14; AUC oral: 150 ± 40 µg.min. ml [raised to the power of -1]; elimination rate constant: 0.071 min [raised to the power of -1]; biological half life: 9.8 min; distribution volume: 0.74 ml/g. For the higher dose, the results seemed to obey a more complex undertermined model. Combining the results, the occurence of a dose-dependent pharmacokinetic behavior is suggested, the drug being rapidly absorbed and rapidly eliminated; the elimination process being related mainly to metabolization. The drug seems to be more toxic when administered I.V. because by this route it escapes first pass metabolism, while being quickly distributed to tissues. The maximum tolerated blood level seems to be around 16 µg/ml.

Pharmacokinetic profile of tert-butylaminoethanethiol

A preliminary study of the pharmacokinetic parameters of t-Butylaminoethanethiol (TBAESH) was performed after administration of a single dose (35 mg/kg) either orally or intravenously. Plasma or blood samples were treated with dithiothreitol, perchloric acid and, after filtration, submitted to further purification with anionic resin. In the final step the drug was retained on a cationic resin column, eluted with NaCl lM and detected according to the method of Ellman (1958). The results suggested a pharmacokinetic behavior related to a one open compartment model with the following values for the total drug: area under the intravenous curve (AUC i.v.): 443(+ ou -) 24.0; AUC oral: 85.5(+ ou -) 14.5 ug min.ml(elevado a -1); elimination rate constant: 0.069(+ ou -) 0.0055 min(elevado a -1), biological half-life: 10.0(+ ou -) 0.80 min; distribution volume 1.15(+ ou -) 0.15 ml/g; biodisponibility: 0.19(+ ou -) 0.02. From a pharmacokinetic standpoint, TBAESH seems to have no advantage over the analogous disulfide compound.

Permian-polysulphide-siderite-barite-haematite deposit Rude in Samoborska Gora Mts., Zagorje-Mid-Transdanubian zone of the Inner Dinarides

Samoborska Gora Mts. is situated within the westernmost part of the Zagorje-Mid-Transdanubian zone of the Internal Dinarides. The Samoborska Gora Mts. predominantly consists of Permian unmetamorphosed siliciclastic sediments and evaporites, overlain by Lower Triassic sediments. Rude mineralisation is hosted by Permian siliciclastic sediments, below gypsum and anhydrite strata. The central part of the deposit consists of a 1.5 km long stratabound mineralisation, grading laterally into ferruginous sandstone and protruding vertically into a gypsum-anhydrite layer. Siderite-polysulphide-barite-quartz veins are located below the stratabound mineralisation. The stratiform part of the deposit is situated above the stratabound and consists of haematite layer with barite concretions and veinlets. Late stage galena-barite veins overprint earlier types of mineralisation. The Rude ore deposit was generated by predominantly NaCl +/- CaCl(2)-H(2)O solutions. Detrital quartz from stratiform mineralisation contains fluid inclusions with salinities between 7 and 11 wt. % NaCl equ., homogenizing between 150 degrees C to 230 degrees C. Stratabound/siderite-polysulphide-barite-quartz vein type mineralisation was derived from solutions with salinities between 5 and 19 wt. % NaCl equ., homogenizing between 60 degrees C and 160 degrees C, while late stage galenabarite veins were precipitated from solutions with salinities between 11 and 16 wt. % NaCl equ., homogenizing between 100 degrees C to 140 degrees C. Fluid inclusion bulk leachate chemistry recorded Na(+)> Mg(2+)>K(+)>Ca(2+)>Li(+) and Cl-> SO(4)(2-) ions. Sulphur isotope composition of barites and overlying gypsum stems from Permian seawater sulphate, supported by increased Br(-) content, which follows successively the seawater evaporation line. The sulphur isotopic composition of sulphides varies between -0.2 and + 12.5 parts per thousand , as a result of thermal reduction of Permian marine sulphate. Ore-forming fluids were produced by hydrothermal convective cells (reflux brine model), and were derived primarily from Permian seawater, modified by evaporation and interaction with Permian sedimentary rocks. Rude deposits in Samoborska Gora Mts. may be declared as a prototype of the Permian siderite-polysulphide-barite deposits (products of rifting along the passive Gondwana margin), in the Inner Dinarides, and their equivalents extending northeastward into the Zagorje-Mid-Transdanubian Zone and the Gemerides, and southeastward to the Hellenide-Albanides.

Sparse regularization for fiber ODF reconstruction: from the suboptimality of ℓ2 and ℓ1 priors to ℓ0.

Diffusion MRI is a well established imaging modality providing a powerful way to probe the structure of the white matter non-invasively. Despite its potential, the intrinsic long scan times of these sequences have hampered their use in clinical practice. For this reason, a large variety of methods have been recently proposed to shorten the acquisition times. Among them, spherical deconvolution approaches have gained a lot of interest for their ability to reliably recover the intra-voxel fiber configuration with a relatively small number of data samples. To overcome the intrinsic instabilities of deconvolution, these methods use regularization schemes generally based on the assumption that the fiber orientation distribution (FOD) to be recovered in each voxel is sparse. The well known Constrained Spherical Deconvolution (CSD) approach resorts to Tikhonov regularization, based on an ℓ(2)-norm prior, which promotes a weak version of sparsity. Also, in the last few years compressed sensing has been advocated to further accelerate the acquisitions and ℓ(1)-norm minimization is generally employed as a means to promote sparsity in the recovered FODs. In this paper, we provide evidence that the use of an ℓ(1)-norm prior to regularize this class of problems is somewhat inconsistent with the fact that the fiber compartments all sum up to unity. To overcome this ℓ(1) inconsistency while simultaneously exploiting sparsity more optimally than through an ℓ(2) prior, we reformulate the reconstruction problem as a constrained formulation between a data term and a sparsity prior consisting in an explicit bound on the ℓ(0)norm of the FOD, i.e. on the number of fibers. The method has been tested both on synthetic and real data. Experimental results show that the proposed ℓ(0) formulation significantly reduces modeling errors compared to the state-of-the-art ℓ(2) and ℓ(1) regularization approaches.
