The University of Queensland St Lucia campus 1.22 MW photovoltaic array

At the time of its official opening on 15 July 2011, The University of Queensland 1.22 MW array was the largest flat-panel PhotoVoltaic (PV) array in Australia. This PV array consists of over 5000 Trina Solar 240 Wp polycrystalline silicon PV modules installed across four rooftops at the St Lucia campus. Grid connection was achieved with 85 12.5 kW three phase and four 5 kW single phase grid connect inverters manufactured by Power-One. The site also includes one 8.4 kWp SolFocus concentrating solar 2 axis tracking PV array. Site wide monitoring and data logging of all DC, AC and environmental quantities will allow this array to be a rich source of research data. The site will also include a 200 kW 400 kWh zinc bromine energy storage system by Redflow, and associated power quality metering and monitoring. This paper presents highlights of the project feasibility study which included a site survey, shading analysis, and technology and triple bottom line assessment. A detailed description of the final technical implementation including discussion of alterative options considered is given. Finally, example initial data showing yield, trends and early example experimental results are presented.

A finite element method for the Saint-Venant torsion and bending problems for prismatic beams

In this work, we present a finite element formulation for the Saint-Venant torsion and bending problems for prismatic beams. The torsion problem formulation is based on the warping function, and can handle multiply-connected regions (including thin-walled structures), compound and anisotropic bars. Similarly, the bending formulation, which is based on linearized elasticity theory, can handle multiply-connected domains including thin-walled sections. The torsional rigidity and shear centers can be found as special cases of these formulations. Numerical results are presented to show the good coarse-mesh accuracy of both the formulations for both the displacement and stress fields. The stiffness matrices and load vectors (which are similar to those for a variable body force in a conventional structural mechanics problem) in both formulations involve only domain integrals, which makes them simple to implement and computationally efficient.

Evaluación del proceso de erosión hídrica en laderas bajo diferente sistema de cobertura vegetal en el municipio de Santa Lucia, Boaco, 2008

El proceso de erosión es uno de los procesos de degradación de suelos más importantes en muchos países. En Nicaragua ha sido estudiado sistemáticamente en los últimos años en la región central del país, departamento de Boaco, en el municipio de Santa Lucia mediante el uso de parcelas de erosión. Ubicadas en un rango de pendientes 17% a 39% en suelo de clasificación taxonómica: Typic Pellusterts para las parcelas localizadas en la comunidad de El Llanito; y Typic Entic Hapllustols para las parcelas ubicadas en la comunidad de El Riego para las cuales se establecieron 4 parcelas en cada una de las fincas con un manejo de rotación de cultivo única en las cubiertas vegetales; maíz (Zea Mays),fríjol (Phaseolus vulgaris) y dos parcelas testigos (Pasto nativo sin manejo agronómico).Dichos datos se evalúan mediante el análisis de los factores de la Ecuación Universal de Pérdida de Suelo Revisada (RUSLE) y ecuación de perdida de suelo (USLE). Los resultados obtenidos determinan que la cubierta de pasto nativo (sin mantenimiento agronómico) fue el que presento las mayores pérdidas de suelo de 8.257tn/ha y de escurrimiento superficial de 46.71 m3/ha y la máxima cobertura vegetal alcanzada de 22.9 % para este tratamiento

Summary of Precipitation and Streamflow for Potrero and San Clemente Creeks in Water-Year 2007, Santa Lucia Preserve, Monterey County, California

In March 2007 CSU-Monterey Bay began hydrologic monitoring of Santa Lucia Preserve for the Santa Lucia Conservancy. This project is a continuation of monitoring begun by Balance Hydrologics as part of the permit requirements for land development. The purpose of this annual report is to present data summaries for the 2007 water year (October 1, 2006 to September 31, 2007). Rainfall in water year 2007 was very low, representing the 15 year drought rainfall. Streamflow was relatively low as well as indicated by baseflow conditions approaching the drought conditions of water-year 1991 (Croyle and Smith, 2007). Document contains 30 pages)

2007 Annual Report: Hydrologic Conditions in Baseflow Reaches Pursuant to Conditions 14 and 15, Santa Lucia Preserve, Monterey County, California

This report presents the results of the 2007 baseflow condition surveys of the four major streams flowing through Santa Lucia Preserve- Las Garzas, Portrero, San Jose, and San Clemente Creeks. This report has been prepared for the Santa Lucia Conservancy and is primarily intended for the staff of Monterey County and California Department of Fish and Game, in accordance with the baseflow monitoring and reporting requirements outlined in County Conditions 14 and 15. The scope of this report is limited to the presentation and evaluation of existing baseflow conditions as required by Conditions 14 and 15, and is not intended as a comprehensive analysis. However, data presented here are an important part of the long term data set that will be used for future in depth watershed analyses. (Document contains 13 pages & 14 figs)

Voyage dans les provinces de Saint-Paul et de Sainte-Catherine

As Voyages... são estudos completos, abrangendo todos os aspectos das regiões percorridas; servem de subsídio ao estudo das condições de vida no Brasil no século passado. "Fonte primordial de informações sobre os prédios coloniais do Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Santa Catarina e Goiás. Poucas obras no gênero atingem o valor de Saint-Hilarire. São clássicas e indispensáveis para o estudo do sul do Brasil, antes da Independência" segundo Borba de Moraes

O santo comércio da amizade: política, literatura e sociabilidade na trajetória de Gonçalves Dias

Este trabalho procura conhecer os caminhos que levaram a construção da imagem do poeta Gonçalves Dias que conhecemos hoje. Procura-se entender de que forma ele veio a construir o nome, no cenário letrado do Império do Brasil, que o fez ser identificado como o poeta nacional por excelência, e também, identificar, em que esferas e projetos ele atuou durante o processo de construção de sua imagem. Nesse caminho, trabalhou-se com a análise de sua correspondência, de modo a perceber qual o peso que suas relações sociais exerceram na formação de sua identidade autoral. Entende-se também que a imagem/memória de Gonçalves Dias hoje conhecida foi fruto dos esforços de seus biógrafos, se não em criá-la, ao menos em fixá-la, ao longo dos anos, de modo a reservar para Gonçalves Dias, definitivamente, um lugar no panteon nacional.

Silenced angels: an obscure Saint Theresa in George Eliots Middlemarch

A presente dissertação objetiva a comparação proposta no Prelúdio do romance Middlemarch por sua autora George Eliot entre a protagonista da obra, Dorothea Brooke, e a figura histórica Teresa dÁvila. A partir de tal estudo, busca-se compreender de que modo a situação específica da mulher na Era Vitoriana é articulada no romance de modo a espelhar a crise ontológica e epistemológica do próprio ser humano diante das transformações consolidadas com o Iluminismo e as revoluções liberais do século XVIII que culminariam na morte de Deus. Dorothea mostra-se uma cristã tão fervorosa quanto a Teresa quinhentista, mas faltam-lhe certezas e a resolução para concretizar as reformas sociais que defende, pois ela encarna o mito de feminilidade oitocentista batizado de Anjo do Lar ideal de sujeição feminina à ordem falocêntrica cujas funções são a proteção e difusão da moralidade burguesa e a substituição de elementos cristãos no universo do sagrado a uma sociedade cada vez mais materialista e insegura de valores absolutos. As aflições de Dorothea representam as aflições da mulher vitoriana, mas o momento crítico desta mulher reflete, em Middlemarch, uma crise muito maior do Ocidente, que teve início com a Era da Razão

The fisheries of St. Lucia, West Indies

An overview of the fisheries of St. Lucia using currently available information is presented. The fisheries are entirely artisanal, characterized by relatively simple and inexpensive gears and boats. The 2,100 fishers (who land roughly 750 t per year of fish) appear socially and economically marginalized and beset by low occupational mobility. The status of the major species groups they exploit are briefly discussed, and initial indications of overfishing are noted. Consideration on both resource and resource-user situations in management of the island's fisheries is emphasized.
