Tratamento de Águas Residuais Estação de Tratamento de Palmarejo

Com este trabalho pretende-se fazer um estudo da estação de tratamento do Palmarejo na cidade da Praia, desde a entrada do afluente na estação até estar em condições de ser reutilizada. O tratamento de água residual surgiu como forma de dar um destino ao resíduo poluente que é o esgoto produzido em nossas casas, sem agredir o meio ambiente natural e resolver alguns problemas do saneamento do meio. Neste trabalho apresentamos as etapas de tratamento da linha líquida do esgoto, bem como o funcionamento de cada órgão do sistema, a comparação dos resultados esperados com os obtidos após o funcionamento da estação. Dimensionamento de uma conduta de transporte de água residual para o Empreendimento turístico da Golfe Resort. Encontrar o custo por cada metro cúbico de água tratado e estudar a possibilidade de sua reutilização. Palavras-chave: Efluente, Água Residual, Lamas Activadas, Desinfecção.

Clinical evaluation of iron treatment efficiency among non-anemic but iron-deficient female blood donors: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Iron deficiency without anemia (IDWA) is related to adverse symptoms that can be relieved by supplementation. Since a blood donation can induce such an iron deficiency, we investigated the clinical impact of an iron treatment after blood donation. METHODS: One week after donation, we randomly assigned 154 female donors with IDWA aged <50 years to a 4-week oral treatment of ferrous sulfate vs. placebo. The main outcome was the change in the level of fatigue before and after the intervention. Also evaluated were aerobic capacity, mood disorder, quality of life, compliance and adverse events. Biological markers were hemoglobin and ferritin. RESULTS: Treatment effect from baseline to 4 weeks for hemoglobin and ferritin were 5.2 g/L (p < 0.01) and 14.8 ng/mL (p < 0.01) respectively. No significant clinical effect was observed for fatigue (-0.15 points, 95% confidence interval -0.9 to 0.6, p = 0.697) or for other outcomes. Compliance and interruption for side effects was similar in both groups. Additionally, blood donation did not induce overt symptoms of fatigue in spite of the significant biological changes it produces. CONCLUSIONS: These data are valuable as they enable us to conclude that donors with IDWA after a blood donation would not clinically benefit from iron supplementation. Trial registration: NCT00689793.

Molecularly defined vaccines for cancer immunotherapy, and protective T cell immunity.

Malignant cells are frequently recognized and destroyed by T cells, hence the development of T cell vaccines against established tumors. The challenge is to induce protective type 1 immune responses, with efficient Th1 and CTL activation, and long-term immunological memory. These goals are similar as in many infectious diseases, where successful immune protection is ideally induced with live vaccines. However, large-scale development of live vaccines is prevented by their very limited availability and vector immunogenicity. Synthetic vaccines have multiple advantages. Each of their components (antigens, adjuvants, delivery systems) contributes specifically to induction and maintenance of T cell responses. Here we summarize current experience with vaccines based on proteins and peptide antigens, and discuss approaches for the molecular characterization of clonotypic T cell responses. With carefully designed step-by-step modifications of innovative vaccine formulations, T cell vaccination can be optimized towards the goal of inducing therapeutic immune responses in humans.

Cetaceos observados frente a la costa peruana y su relación con la distribución y abundancia de los recursos pelágicos. Crucero BIC Humboldt 9808-09, de Paita a Callao

resultados de las observaciones sobre cetáceos realizadas frente a la costa norte y centro del Perú a bordo del BIC Humboldt, entre el 23 de agosto y el 17 de setiembre de 1998. En 154 sesiones de observación y un recorrido de 1705 millas náuticas se registraron cetáceos en 182 ocasiones con una mayor frecuencia de registros a los 8°S y a los 10°S. El 20% de los cetáceos avistados pertenecieron al Suborden Mysticeti y el 80% al Suborden Odontoceti. Ocho avistamientos fueron mixtos (más de una especie). Entre los cetáceos mayores (36 registros y 69 individuos) destacó la ballena jorobada Megaptera novaeangliae. Los cetáceos menores avistados correspondieron principalmente a bufeos Tursiops truncatus (63% de registros y 2640 individuos) y a delfines comunes Delphinus delphis (25% de registros y 3646 individuos). A los 5°S predominaron ballenas jorobadas y bufeos mientras que a los 10°S destacó la abundancia de ballenas del género Balaenoptera y delfines comunes.

Condiciones hidroquímicas del mar peruano a fines del invierno 1999, en un área seleccionada (7°-9°S)

Del 30 de agosto al 13 de setiembre de 1999 se realizó la prospección para la evaluación de la abundancia de huevos de anchoveta en un área seleccionada (7° - 9° S), a bordo del BIC José Olaya Balandra. Se dan a conocer los resultados sobre la variabilidad de las condiciones hidroquímicas del mar peruano referidas a oxígeno disuelto, nutrientes (fosfatos, silicatos, nitratos y nitritos) y clorofila-a. La zona entre Punta Guañape y Punta Colorada fue la de mayor concentración de nutrientes y la zona frente a Chimbote tuvo la mayor productividad.
