Seis sistemas de tratamento, compostos por três filtros anaeróbios com escoamento descendente, seguidos por seis Sistemas Alagados Construídos (SACs), tiveram suas condições operacionais avaliadas quando utilizados no tratamento da água residuária do processamento dos frutos do cafeeiro (ARC). Os filtros foram confeccionados em PVC (1,5 m de altura e 0,35 m de diâmetro) e preenchidos com brita nº 2. Os SACs foram constituídos por caixas de madeira (1,5 m de comprimento, 0,4 m de altura e 0,5 m de largura), sendo impermeabilizados e preenchidos com brita "zero". A ARC teve o pH corrigido com cal até valores próximos a 7,0, e a concentração de nutrientes alterada, de forma a se obter uma relação DBO/N/P de 100/5/1. Em metade dos SACs foi plantado o azevém (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), e na outra metade, aveia-preta (Avena strigosa Schreb). Como resultado, observou-se que as espécies vegetais cultivadas nos SACs não influenciaram nas eficiências globais de remoção de poluentes pelos sistemas. Os sistemas que receberam as menores cargas orgânicas apresentaram as maiores eficiências de remoção de matéria orgânica, alcançando 78% para DQO e 70% para DBO. A remoção de SST foi superior a 70% em todos os sistemas avaliados, indicando a viabilidade da aplicação de filtro anaeróbio seguido por SACs no tratamento da ARC.

Seis sistemas de tratamento foram compostos por três filtros anaeróbios com escoamento descendente, seguidos por seis sistemas alagados construídos (SACs), sendo avaliados, sob o ponto de vista operacional, no tratamento da água residuária do processamento dos frutos do cafeeiro (ARC). Os filtros foram confeccionados em PVC (1,5 m de altura e 0,35 m de diâmetro) e preenchidos com brita nº 2 e os SACs foram constituídos por caixas de madeira (1,5 m de comprimento, 0,4 m de altura e 0,5 m de largura), sendo impermeabilizados e preenchidos com brita "zero". A ARC teve o pH corrigido com cal até valores próximos a 7,0, e a concentração de nutrientes alterada, com a adição de fertilizantes, de forma a se obter uma relação DBO/N/P igual a 100/5/1. Em metade dos SACs, foi plantado o azevém (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), e na outra metade, aveia-preta (Avena strigosa Schreb). Como resultado, observou-se que as espécies vegetais cultivadas nos SACs influenciaram nas eficiências de remoção de fósforo pelos sistemas (SAC3 e SAC4; SAC5 e SAC6). Os sistemas que receberam as menores cargas de nutrientes e compostos fenólicos, via ARC, apresentaram as maiores eficiências de remoção destas variáveis, tendo sido alcançadas remoções de 40% do N T e 50% do P T. A remoção de compostos fenólicos totais foi superior a 65% na maior parte dos sistemas. Desta forma, considera-se ser viável a aplicação de filtros anaeróbios seguidos por sistemas alagados construídos no tratamento da ARC.

Neste trabalho, foi analisada a viabilidade de emprego de cola à base de PVA e argamassa de solo-cimento no assentamento de paredes de alvenaria de tijolos maciços de solo-cimento, em substituição à argamassa usual (cimento, cal e areia). Pequenos prismas, executados com quatro tijolos maciços de solo-cimento e assentados com as argamassas e a cola de PVA, foram ensaiados à compressão e à flexão. Os resultados dos ensaios dos prismas executados com a argamassa de assentamento usual foram tomados como padrão esperado de comportamento para os outros prismas executados com argamassa de solo-cimento e com cola de PVA. Os resultados obtidos nos ensaios dos prismas indicaram que tanto cola à base de PVA quanto argamassa de solo-cimento podem ser empregadas, satisfatoriamente, no assentamento de painéis de alvenaria de tijolos maciços de solo-cimento.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o desenvolvimento folicular em ratas Wistar com obesidade induzida por dieta de cafeteria (DCAF) submetidas à administração de losartan (LOS), um antagonista do receptor AT1 da Angiotensina II. MÉTODOS: Aos 21 dias de vida, as ratas foram separadas aleatoriamente em dois grupos: controle (CTL), que recebeu ração padrão, e cafeteria (CAF), que recebeu a DCAF, altamente palatável e calórica. Aos 70 dias de vida, início da idade reprodutiva, animais do grupo CAF foram subdivididos em dois grupos (n=15/grupo): CAF, que recebeu água, e CAF+LOS, que recebeu 30 mg/kg de peso corporal (PC) de LOS por gavagem durante 30 dias. O grupo CTL também recebeu água por gavagem. Aos 100 dias de vida foi realizada a eutanásia dos animais e o PC e das gorduras retroperitoneal, perigonadal e subcutânea foi avaliado. Os ovários direitos foram retirados para contagem do número dos diferentes tipos de folículos ovarianos. As concentrações plasmáticas dos hormônios folículo-estimulantes (FSH), luteinizante (LH), prolactina (PRL) e progesterona foram avaliadas. Os resultados foram expressos como média±erro padrão da média. Para análise estatística, foi utilizado one-way ANOVA, seguido pelo pós-teste de Newman-Keuls (p<0,05). RESULTADOS: O PC e das gorduras, assim como o número de folículos antrais, foi elevado no grupo CAF em relação ao CTL. Todavia, as concentrações de FSH e LH foram mais baixas entre os animais CAF. A administração de LOS reduziu o PC e das gorduras retroperitoneal e subcutânea, bem como o número de folículos antrais. O tratamento com LOS atenuou a redução das concentrações de FSH e de LH. As concentrações de progesterona e PRL foram semelhantes entre os grupos estudados. CONCLUSÃO: O uso de LOS pode favorecer o desenvolvimento folicular em fêmeas obesas e pode possibilitar sua utilização como fármaco coadjuvante no tratamento da infertilidade associada à obesidade.

Parasitic weed species of the genus Orobanche are serious threat for the production of several crops in Europe, Africa and Asia. Research on resistant host plant varieties is one of the most effective management strategies for this parasitic weed. In this study, the susceptibility of twenty-nine tomato varieties to broomrape infection (Orobanche aegyptiaca) under greenhouse conditions was investigated. The employed experimental design was completely randomized with three replications. Differences in susceptibility to infection were monitored among tomato varieties based on their difference in the number of emerged shoots of broomrape and broomrape dry weight (shoots and tubercles). Date of Orobanche emergence varied over a period of 3 to 30 days between varieties. Very late infection was monitored for varieties of Cal-jN3, Viva, Caligen 86, Packmor, CSX 5013, Hyb. PS 6515 and Hyb Petopride5. Differences in the growth and fruit yield among tomato varieties were also found in response to broomrape infestation. Moderate levels of resistance were obtained in Viva, Caligen 86, Hyb. PS 6515, Hyb.Firenze (PS 8094) and Cal-jN3 among other tomato varieties. In contrast, varieties of Kimia-Falat, Hyb. Petopride II and Hyb.AP865 were the most susceptible hosts to Orobanche aegyptiaca.

Tässä Pro gradu -tutkimuksessa selvitettiin yritystenvälisen yhteistyön suunnitelmallisuutta ja systemaattisuutta. Tavoite oli ymmärtää miksi ja miten systemaattinen toimintaohjeisto tulisi tehdä sekä empiirisesti tutkia ovatko valitut yritykset tehneet itselleen toimintaohjeet yritystenväliseen yhteistyöhön. Tutkimuksen yhteydessä kehittyi ”yrityksen 360° -kumppanistrategia”, joka voidaan liittää osaksi yrityksen kokonaisstrategiaa. Kokonaisvaltainen 360° -kumppanistrategia luo pohjan kaikkien ulkoisten yrityssuhteiden systemaattiseen määrittelyyn ja hoitamiseen. 360° -kumppanistrategiasta johdetaan operatiivinen 90° -kumppanikäsikirja yhteistyösuhteiden eri osa-alueille. Operatiivisessa työkalussa määritellään muun muassa miten kuhkin yhteistyösuhde asemoidaan yritykseen nähden ja miten eri yhteistyö-kumppaneiden kanssa tulee toimia. 360° -kumppanistrategialla luodaan selkeyttä yritystenväliseen yhteistyöhön toimintatapoja yhtenäistämällä. Pro gradu -tutkimuksessa tutkittiin 360° -kumppanistrategiaa sekä teoreettisesta että empiirisestä lähtökohdasta. Teoreettisessa osassa selvitettiin, mitä yrityksen 360° -kumppanistrategiasta on kirjoitettu ja onko aiheeseen liittyen olemassa olevaa teoriaa. Empiirisessä osassa tutkittiin miksi ja miten yritykset ovat luoneet itselleen 360° -kumppanistrategian. Empiirinen tutkimus toteutettiin laadullisin menetelmin henkilökohtaisten haastattelu-tutkimusten avulla. Johtopäätöksenä voidaan todeta, että 360° -kumppanistrategiaa on tutkittu melko vähän. Tieteellinen tutkimus keskittyy lähinnä vallitseviin yhteistyö-malleihin, verkostoihin tai yhteistyöhön liittyviin yksittäisiin komponentteihin, kuten luottamukseen. Empiirinen havainto oli, että muutamilla yrityksillä oli tietoinen toimintatapa ulkoisten yritysten kanssa toimimiseen, mutta sen sisältö vaihteli yrityksestä riippuen. Tässä tutkimuksessa esiteltyä kokonaisvaltaista 360° -kumppanistrategiaa tutkituissa yrityksissä ei aiemmin ollut tässä laajuudessa.

With the shift towards many-core computer architectures, dataflow programming has been proposed as one potential solution for producing software that scales to a varying number of processor cores. Programming for parallel architectures is considered difficult as the current popular programming languages are inherently sequential and introducing parallelism is typically up to the programmer. Dataflow, however, is inherently parallel, describing an application as a directed graph, where nodes represent calculations and edges represent a data dependency in form of a queue. These queues are the only allowed communication between the nodes, making the dependencies between the nodes explicit and thereby also the parallelism. Once a node have the su cient inputs available, the node can, independently of any other node, perform calculations, consume inputs, and produce outputs. Data ow models have existed for several decades and have become popular for describing signal processing applications as the graph representation is a very natural representation within this eld. Digital lters are typically described with boxes and arrows also in textbooks. Data ow is also becoming more interesting in other domains, and in principle, any application working on an information stream ts the dataflow paradigm. Such applications are, among others, network protocols, cryptography, and multimedia applications. As an example, the MPEG group standardized a dataflow language called RVC-CAL to be use within reconfigurable video coding. Describing a video coder as a data ow network instead of with conventional programming languages, makes the coder more readable as it describes how the video dataflows through the different coding tools. While dataflow provides an intuitive representation for many applications, it also introduces some new problems that need to be solved in order for data ow to be more widely used. The explicit parallelism of a dataflow program is descriptive and enables an improved utilization of available processing units, however, the independent nodes also implies that some kind of scheduling is required. The need for efficient scheduling becomes even more evident when the number of nodes is larger than the number of processing units and several nodes are running concurrently on one processor core. There exist several data ow models of computation, with different trade-offs between expressiveness and analyzability. These vary from rather restricted but statically schedulable, with minimal scheduling overhead, to dynamic where each ring requires a ring rule to evaluated. The model used in this work, namely RVC-CAL, is a very expressive language, and in the general case it requires dynamic scheduling, however, the strong encapsulation of dataflow nodes enables analysis and the scheduling overhead can be reduced by using quasi-static, or piecewise static, scheduling techniques. The scheduling problem is concerned with nding the few scheduling decisions that must be run-time, while most decisions are pre-calculated. The result is then an, as small as possible, set of static schedules that are dynamically scheduled. To identify these dynamic decisions and to find the concrete schedules, this thesis shows how quasi-static scheduling can be represented as a model checking problem. This involves identifying the relevant information to generate a minimal but complete model to be used for model checking. The model must describe everything that may affect scheduling of the application while omitting everything else in order to avoid state space explosion. This kind of simplification is necessary to make the state space analysis feasible. For the model checker to nd the actual schedules, a set of scheduling strategies are de ned which are able to produce quasi-static schedulers for a wide range of applications. The results of this work show that actor composition with quasi-static scheduling can be used to transform data ow programs to t many different computer architecture with different type and number of cores. This in turn, enables dataflow to provide a more platform independent representation as one application can be fitted to a specific processor architecture without changing the actual program representation. Instead, the program representation is in the context of design space exploration optimized by the development tools to fit the target platform. This work focuses on representing the dataflow scheduling problem as a model checking problem and is implemented as part of a compiler infrastructure. The thesis also presents experimental results as evidence of the usefulness of the approach.

Enantiopure intermediates are of high value in drug synthesis. Biocatalysis alone or combined with chemical synthesis provides powerful tools to access enantiopure compounds. In biocatalysis, chemo-, regio- and enantioselectivity of enzymes are combined with their inherent environmentally benign nature. Enzymes can be applied in versatile chemical reactions with non-natural substrates under synthesis conditions. Immobilization of an enzyme is a crucial part of an efficient biocatalytic synthesis method. Successful immobilization enhances the catalytic performance of an enzyme and enables its reuse in successive reactions. This thesis demonstrates the feasibility of biocatalysis in the preparation of enantiopure secondary alcohols and primary amines. Viability and synthetic usability of the studied biocatalytic methods have been addressed throughout this thesis. Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) catalyzed enantioselective O-acylation of racemic secondary alcohols was successfully incorporated with in situ racemization in the dynamic kinetic resolution, affording the (R)-esters in high yields and enantiopurities. Side reactions causing decrease in yield and enantiopurity were suppressed. CAL-B was also utilized in the solvent-free kinetic resolution of racemic primary amines. This method produced the enantiomers as (R)-amides and (S)-amines under ambient conditions. An in-house sol-gel entrapment increased the reusability of CAL-B. Arthrobacter sp. omega-transaminase was entrapped in sol-gel matrices to obtain a reusable catalyst for the preparation enantiopure primary amines in an aqueous medium. The obtained heterogeneous omega-transaminase catalyst enabled the enantiomeric enrichment of the racemic amines to their (S)-enantiomers. The synthetic usability of the sol-gel catalyst was demonstrated in five successive preparative kinetic resolutions.

Tässä diplomityössä on tutkittu mediatalon hiilijalanjäljen pienentämismahdollisuuksia yhteistyössä Otava-konsernin kanssa. Työ on siis osa Otava-konsernin yritysvastuun kehittämistä. Yritysvastuuseen ja sen raportointiin on perehdytty myös yleisesti mediasektorin tasolla. Työssä perehdytään myös hiilijalanjäljen laskentaohjeisiin sekä lasketaan Otavakonsernin hiilijalanjälki tietyin rajauksin. Yrityksen hiilijalanjäljen laskentaa voidaan toteuttaa esimerkiksi Greenhouse Gas Protokollan laskentaohjeiden mukaisesti. Yleisiä ohjeita kasvihuonekaasuinventaarin laskentaan antaa ISO 14064-1 standardi. Otava-konsernin laskenta on toteutettu ClimateCalc-laskuria soveltuvilta osin hyväksikäyttäen. Laskennan tulokset on esitetty konsernin yhtiöittäin vuoden 2013 tietojen pohjalta. Valittu laskuri toimi parhaiten kirjapainon käytössä. Muiden konsernin yhtiöiden osalta laskuria on jouduttu soveltamaan. Konsernin päästöistä myös merkittävä osa syntyi kirjapainossa, mikä osaltaan johtuu muita yhtiöitä laajemmasta laskennasta. Tulevaisuudessa laskentaa on hyvä laajentaa myös muiden yhtiöiden osalta, jolloin laskurin ominaisuuksia pystytään käyttämään laajemmin hyväksi.

This work reports aspects of seed germination at different temperatures of Adenanthera pavonina L., a woody Southeast Asian Leguminosae. Germination was studied by measuring the final percentages, the rate, the rate variance and the synchronisation of the individual seeds calculated by the minimal informational entropy of frequencies distribution of seed germination. Overlapping the germinability range with the range for the highest values of germination rates and the minimal informational entropy of frequencies distribution of seed germination, we found that the best temperature for the germination of A. pavonina seeds is 35 ºC. The slope µ of the Arrhenius plot of the germination rates is positive for T < 35 ºC and negative for T > 35 ºC. The activation enthalpies, estimated from closely-spaced points, shows that |ΔH-| < 12 Cal mol-1 occur for temperatures in the range between 25 ºC and 40 ºC. The ecological implication of these results are that this species may germinate very fast in tropical areas during the summer season. This may be an advantage to the establishment of this species under the climatic conditions in those areas.

Thermal environmental stress can anticipate acute fatigue during exercise at a fixed intensity (%VO2max). Controversy exists about whether this anticipation is caused by the absolute internal temperature (Tint, ºC), by the heat storage rate (HSR, cal/min) or by both mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to study acute fatigue (total exercise time, TET) during thermal stress by determining Tint and HSR from abdominal temperature. Thermal environmental stress was controlled in an environmental chamber and determined as wet bulb globe temperature (ºC), with three environmental temperatures being studied: cold (18ºC), thermoneutral (23.1ºC) or hot (29.4ºC). Six untrained male Wistar rats weighing 260-360 g were used. The animals were submitted to exercise at the same time of day in the three environments and at two treadmill velocities (21 and 24 m/min) until exhaustion. After implantation of a temperature sensor and treadmill adaptation, the animals were submitted to a Latin square experimental design using a 2 x 3 factorial scheme (velocity and environment), with the level of significance set at P<0.05. The results showed that the higher the velocity and the ambient temperature, the lower was the TET, with these two factors being independent. This result indicated that fatigue was independently affected by both the increase in exercise intensity and the thermal environmental stress. Fatigue developed at different Tint and HSR showed the best inverse relationship with TET. We conclude that HSR was the main anticipating factor of fatigue.

Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa selvitettiin, miten aikakauslehden eli emobrändin tuttuus vaikuttaa halukkuuteen osallistua verkkopalvelun eli brändilaajennuksen sisällöntuotantoon joukkoistamalla. Kysymys liittyy muuttuneeseen tilanteeseen median kulutuksessa. Teknologia on kehittynyt, paperisten mediatuotteiden kysyntä vähentynyt ja aikakauslehdet kehittävät digitaalisia palvelujaan. Medialla kuitenkaan ole yksinoikeutta sisällöntuotantoon. Kuka tahansa voi tehdä ja julkaista sisältöä. Monet mediat ovat ottaneet lukijat mukaan sisällöntuotantoon. Aiempien tutkimusten perusteella emobrändin tuttuus vaikuttaa myönteisesti asi-akkaiden halukkuuteen käyttää brändilaajennusta. Se vaikuttaa myös ostopäätökseen ja lisää luottamusta verkkopalvelua kohtaan. Tässä tutkimuksessa tuote oli tuttu niille, jotka ovat lehden tilaajia. Lukijalähtöistä sisältöä ovat mm. blogit, verkkokeskustelut, lukijoiden tarinat, runot, kuvat, kilpailut ja kyselyt. Tutkielman aineisto kerättiin verkkokyselyn avulla ja siihen vastasi 437 vastaajaa. Tulosten perusteella emobrändin tuttuus vaikuttaa myönteisesti tilaajien halukkuuteen käyttää aikakauslehden verkkopalvelua. Tilaajat käyvät palvelussa muita käyttäjiä useammin ja osallistuvat tai haluaisivat osallistua ei-tilaajia innokkaammin sisällöntuotantoon. He ovat myös ei-tilaajia kiinnostuneempia lukijalähtöisestä sisällöstä.

Neste trabalho, o uso de hidrocolóides constituídos de pectina (1%), carboximetilcelulose (CMC 0.5%) e amido gelatinizado (5%) adicionados ou não de sacarose (15%) e nitrato de cálcio (0.5%) foi testado com o objetivo de se avaliar a influência destes sistemas sobre os parâmetros de qualidade de melões congelados com diferentes velocidades de resfriamento. Foram avaliados parâmetros tais como sólidos solúveis totais, perda de fluido celular por exsudação e capacidade de retenção de água após o descongelamento. As rupturas do tecido causadas pelo crescimento de cristais de gelo foram visualizadas por fotomicrografias obtidas por microscopia ótica e as disposições dos sistemas de hidrocolóides junto a parede celular puderam ser analisadas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (SEM) do material congelado e liofilizado. Os parâmetros avaliados e as análises microscópicas da estrutura celular permitiram estabelecer alguns efeitos interativos entre os sistemas de hidrocolóides e a parede celular, responsáveis pela obtenção de estruturas menos danificadas. Estudos histológicos por microscopia ótica permitiram verificar os efeitos das interações sobre a resistência da parede ao rompimento celular. Os tratamentos com sistemas constituídos de amido gelatinizado e pectina, adicionados de sacarose e íons cálcio foram os que apresentaram os melhores resultados na manutenção da estrutura, menor perda de fluido e melhor textura do material descongelado. Os tratamentos com cálcio foram os principais responsáveis pela manutenção da firmeza dos frutos.
