The aim of this paper is to present and discuss Fred Dretske's (1995) suggestion for analysis of the problem of qualia. Such a problem was acknowledged following Thomas Nagel's discussion in his classical paper What is it like to be a bat. In the paper, Nagel (1974) postulates the impossibility of knowing aspects of human experience from a third-person perspective. He considers that qualitative aspects of a subject's experience, fundamental for characterization of qualia, would be lost during the course of objective descriptions of it. Based on his Representational Thesis of Mind, Dretske argues that if we were to consider mind to be the representational aspect of the brain, the nature of qualia would thus be representational. In this context, mental facts related to experiences would be representational facts: if we were to know the nature of these representational facts, we would also know the experience the system represents. Given this understanding, we discuss to what extent the Dretskean proposal constitutes (or not) an alternative for the problem of qualia.

The concentration of metal pollutants such as lead (Pb), has grown and developed in populated areas due to pollution and other human activities. Consequently, the potential for achieve this element food chain has also increased. Lead is very toxic to humans, especially to children, and exposure to lead can cause adverse health effects mainly on human nervous system, bone marrow and kidneys, interfering with chromosomal or genetic processes. This paper presents an overview of the main aspects related to environmental contamination by lead from battery plants. The assessment of an area contaminated by lead in Bauru-SP next a battery factory was reported in this work as well as the entire history of monitoring, classification and application of processes applied by CETESB since 2002. Analyzing the issue in its economic aspects, we found that the degradation of the environment is directly related to the development model adopted by the capitalist system, which is based on the law of supply and demand for products and services. The data presented indicate that Brazil still needs a broader policy where government agencies, industries and population through awareness can be united for the same purpose: to preserve life

One problem that has been happening frequently in port terminals is the poor planning of the loading and unloading of containers. The reason of this problem is the lack of an efficient method that provides the best means of these operations. The main goal of this work is, to implement a method that provides the best ways to perform the loading and unloading of containers, at each port and thus bring a great saving for these terminals, since the number of moves is directly proportional to cost. To carry out this program was used the idea that the containers are placed in vertical stacks, where the access can be done only by the top of the stack, so the ship was treated as an matrix and to fill it, two rules were created for loading and two for unloading. To obtain the best sequence of rules was used Beam Search method, which is an enumeration type implicit method that analyzes only the best solution of the tree generated. Thus, the program developed in the Java language, provides the best way to perform the loading and unloading ports and the way as the ship leaves each port using a graphical interface

This work proposes two optimization algorithms for the solution of the Berth Allocation Problem (PAB). Due to the economic development of the country, it became necessary for the improvement of means of transport, which mainly shipping. For this, you need a better system management port, you will receive a lot of ships carrying cargo. In this work the PAB is approached so that the goals are to reduce costs and time handling in ports. For this, we applied two computational techniques, genetic algorithms and optimization for cloud particles, to obtain the best results for this problem. The results obtained with each type of algorithm are compared to conclude which method is more efficient for the port system

The objective of this work was to develop a numerical method to solve boundary value problems concerning to the use of dispersion model for describing the hydraulic behavior of chemical or biological reactors employed in the wastewater treatment. The numerical method was implemented in FORTRAN language generating a computational program which was applied to solve cases involving reaction kinetics of both integer and fractional orders. The developed method was able to solve the proposed problems evidencing to be a useful tool that provides more accurate design of wastewater treatment reactors

O fator de início da tradução de eucariotos eIF5A é uma proteína essencial para a viabilidade celular, altamente conservada em arqueas e em eucariotos e apresenta uma modificação pós-traducional única em que um resíduo específico de lisina é modificado para o aminoácido hipusina. O processo de hipusinação é essencial para a função de eIF5A e consequentemente para a viabilidade celular. eIF5A foi descrita inicialmente como um fator de início da tradução, pois estimula a síntese de metionil-puromicina in vitro, porém, dados recentes de nosso e de outros grupos mostraram um papel para eIF5A na etapa de elongação da tradução. eIF5A é um homólogo estrutural do fator de elongação da tradução P (EF-P) de bactérias. EF-P também estimula a síntese de metionil-puromicina, sendo essencial para viabilidade celular em bactérias, além disso EF-P também apresenta uma modificação pós-traducional semelhante à hipusinação. Recentemente, em nosso laboratório, foi isolado o RNA transportador de alanina (tRNAAla) como supressor do fenótipo de sensibilidade a temperatura do mutante tif51AQ22H/L93F de eIF5A, sugerindo uma possível correlação funcional entre estes fatores. Tendo em vista a homologia estrutural entre eIF5A e EF-P e a possível homologia funcional entre estes fatores, pretende-se entender a relação de eIF5A com o tRNA de alanina e com isso contribuir para a caracterização do papel específico desta proteína na elongação da tradução. Portanto, foram clonados diferentes genes que codificam para diversos tRNA´s (glicina, leucina, prolina, metionina e fenilalanina) para averiguar se a supressão observada para o tRNA de alanina também pode ser vista com estes outros tRNA’s ou se é específica. Considerando-se que eIF5A foi descrita a mais de trinta anos sem que sua função específica fosse caracterizada, este estudo pode contribuir... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

O fator de início da tradução de eucariotos 5A (eIF5A) é uma proteína essencial para a viabilidade celular, altamente conservada em arqueas e eucariotos e apresenta uma modificação pós-traducional única em que um resíduo específico de lisina é modificado para o aminoácido hipusina. O processo de hipusinação é essencial para a função de eIF5A e consequentemente para viabilidade celular. eIF5A foi descrita inicialmente como um fator de início da tradução pois estimula a síntese de metionil-puromicina in vitro, porém, dados de nosso e de outro laboratório mostraram um papel para eIF5A na etapa de elongação da tradução. eIF5A é um homólogo estrutural do fator de elongação da tradução P (EF-P) de bactérias. EF-P também estimula a síntese de metionil-puromicina, sendo essencial para viabilidade celular em algumas espécies de bactérias. Dados recentes mostram que EF-P, bem como eIF5A participam na etapa de elongação da tradução facilitando a tradução de sequências de parada, “stalling motifs”. Foi isolado, em nosso laboratório, o gene que codifica para o tRNA de alanina como supressor do fenótipo de sensibilidade a temperatura do mutante tif51AK56A, sugerindo uma possível correlação funcional entre estes genes. Para compreender o mecanismo de supressão e estudar a relação com outros tRNAs este estudo foi proposto e realizado.

In this paper we deal with the one-dimensional integer cutting stock problem, which consists of cutting a set of available objects in stock in order to produce ordered smaller items in such a way as to optimize a given objective function, which in this paper is composed of three different objectives: minimization of the number of objects to be cut (raw material), minimization of the number of different cutting patterns (setup time), minimization of the number of saw cycles (optimization of the saw productivity). For solving this complex problem we adopt a multiobjective approach in which we adapt, for the problem studied, a symbiotic genetic algorithm proposed in the literature. Some theoretical and computational results are presented.
