Efeitos do tipo, tamanho e teor de agregado graúdo no módulo de deformação do concreto de alta resistência

O concreto, material de composição heterogênea e complexa, é o principal insumo em construções. Do ponto de vista estrutural, ele tem como propriedade principal sua resistência. O estudo do comportamento do concreto, baseado em estudos conceituais da resistência granular, pode conduzir a um projeto estrutural mais seguro e de melhor utilização do material. Este trabalho expõe os resultados de um estudo conduzido para avaliar os efeitos do tipo, tamanho e teor de agregado graúdo no módulo de deformação do concreto de alta resistência. A mistura de concreto estudada contém agregados de basalto e de granito com dimensões máximas características de 9,5 mm e 19 mm e relação água/cimento de 0,35. O módulo de elasticidade do material foi determinado usando o trecho inicial linear da curva Carga-CMOD (deslocamento de abertura da boca da fissura) no ensaio de flexão com três pontos em viga entalhada no meio do vão, seguindo a proposta do comitê técnico 89-FMT da RILEM (Internacional Union of Testing and Research Laboratories for Materials and Structures).

Dynamics of the interaction between body fluid and Ti cp: the influence of surface functionalization in the first stages of osseointegration

INTRODUCTION: Regenerative therapies using biomaterials require accurate information on interactions between the implanted material and the human body. To improve the process of bone regeneration it is necessary to obtain a better understanding of the influence of the surfaces on the early stages of osseointegration. This work aims to investigate the dynamic interaction between simulated body fluid (SBF) and titanium surfaces (Ti cp) immediately after their first contact. METHODS: Ti cp samples were passed through physicochemical treatments after immersion in acid solution, alkaline solution and solutions containing TiO2 and Ca2+, to obtain three different surfaces. These were characterized by electron microscopy and free energy estimates. The evaluation of the interaction with SBF was performed by measuring the dynamic contact angles after contacting the surfaces. RESULTS: The effects of SBF wettability were more significant on surfaces according to high energy estimates. A comparative analysis of the three types of surfaces showed that fluid spreading was greater in samples with greater polar components, indicating that the surface nature influences interactions in the early stages of osseointegration. CONCLUSION: The results indicate the influence of polar interactions in the dynamic wettability of the SBF. It is possible that these interactions can also influence cellular viability on surfaces. Based on these results, new experiments are being designed to improve the presented methodology as a tool for the evaluation of biomaterials without the need for in vivo experiments.

Influência da calcitonina na regeneração óssea em mandíbulas de ratas ovariectomizadas

In This work we studied the action of calcitonin on bone regeneration in the jaws of normal and ovariectomized rats with and without administration of calcitonin. One hundred rats aged approximately sixty days were used for this study. Of these fifty were ovariectomizedOv forming group and one month after the surgery, animals in all a hundred surgical bone defect was made in the angle of the mandible, creating a bone lesion of approximately 4 mm, covered with a PTFE barrier. OvThe animals were divided into two equal groups: Ov (ovaricctomizados) and LMO (ovariectomized with calcitonin). The other fifty animals, only with the bone lesion were also divided into two groups: control (C) and CM (control with calcitonin). Treated groups received the first dose of the substance immediately after surgery, the dose of 2 IU / kg IM three times per week. The animals were sacrificed after three, seven, 14, 21 and 28 days, with their jaws removed and sent for histological preparation. Densitometric analyzes were performed histological and histomorphometric verifying that it was observed that the Ov animals showed decreased bone density and a much slower regenerative process, when compared with control animals. Calcitonin proved effective in both ovariectomized animals and in those with only bone injury.

Acúmulo de silício na parte aérea de cultivares de arroz de terras altas afetado pela aplicação de silicato e carbonato no solo

Even the element silicon being the most uptake by rice plant, many benefit effect like: increase of pest and disease tolerance, decrease of lost of water by transpiration and better the leaf architecture becoming the leafs more erect, resulting as well at the better photosynthesis efficacy. There is not too much knowledge about the uptake march in upland rice plants. This study aimed to evaluate the content of silicon in two upland rice cultivars by the influence of the application of silicate and limestone at the soil. The experiment was carried in Hapludox soil in a completely randomized experimental design in 2x2x7 factorial scheme in four replications. The treatments were consisted of calcium silicate fertilizer and limestone in interaction with seven period of physiological stage, using the upland rice cultivars Caiapo and Maravilha. At the cultivar Maravilha Si accumulation begin from tillering and achieve it better value at the microsporogenesis, while the Caiapo cultivar, occurs between tillering until the mily grain. Caiapo shows efficient Si accumulation when it was supplied to the soil. Plant organs that more accumulated silicon in both upland rice cultivars followed decreased order: stem > leaf > panicle.
