Primary beam spectra were obtained for an X-ray industrial equipment (40-150 kV), and for a clinical mammography apparatus (25-35 kV) from beams scattered at angles close to 90 degrees, measured with a CdTe Compton spectrometer. Actual scattering angles were determined from the Compton energy shift of characteristic X-rays or spectra end-point energy. Evaluated contribution of coherent scattering amounts to more than 15% of fluence in mammographic beams. This technique can be used in clinical environments. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

O início de um novo período parlamentar na Câmara dos Deputados e no Senado, neste fim de semana, em Brasília, mobilizou as redes sociais – sobretudo domingo, em virtude das polêmicas eleições para as presidências das duas casas legislativas. Favoritos, o deputado federal Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ) e o senador Renan Calheiros (PMDB-AL) venceram as respectivas disputas, com ampla repercussão no Twitter ao longo dos últimos dois dias.

Esta dissertação procura compreender a história da vila Arraias (sudeste paraense) como construção do migrante-posseiro na década de 70, buscando uma compreensão de como ocorreu o processo de formação da vila às margens da PA-150, identificando e caracterizando os motivos e sujeitos que tiveram direta e indiretamente envolvidos nesse processo e quais foram suas ações. A construção da rodovia estadual PA-150 no final da década de 70, o processo migratório que se direcionou para essa região nas décadas de 70 e 80, ou seja, o processo de ocupação das margens dessa estrada por migrante-posseiro bem como os conflitos travados pela posse de terras nessa região e a funcionalidade da vila Arraias como um núcleo, uma célula na luta pela terra na região da PA-150 é o que dá direção e estrutura a esta discussão.

In the recent years, the use of proton beams in radiotherapy has been an outstanding progress (SMITH, 2006). Up to now, computed tomography (CT) is a prerequisite for treatment planning in this kind of therapy because it provides the electron density distribution required for calculation of dose and the interval of doses. However, the use of CT images for proton treatment planning ignores fundamental differences in physical interaction processes between photons and protons and is, therefore, potentially inaccurate (SADROZINSKI, 2004). Proton CT (pCT) can in principle directly measure the density distribution needed in a patient for the dose distribution (SCHULTE, et al, 2004). One important problem that should be solved is the implementation of image reconstruction algorithms. In this sense, it is necessary to know how the presence of materials with different density and composition interfere in the energy deposition by ionization and coulomb excitation, during its trajectory. The study was conducted in two stages, was used in both the program SRIM (The Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter) to perform simulations of the interaction of proton beams with pencil beam type. In the first step we used the energies in the range of 100-250 MeV (ZIEGLER, 1999). The targets were set to 50 mm in length for the beam of 100 MeV, due to its interaction with the target, and short-range, and 70 mm for 150, 200 and 250 MeV The target was composed of liquid water and a layer of 6 mm cortical bone (ICRP). It were made 9 simulations varying the position of the heterogeneity of 5 mm. In the second step the energy of 250 MeV was taken out from the simulations, due to its greater energy and less interaction. The targets were diminished to 50 mm thick to standardize the simulations. The layer of bone was divided into two equal parts and both were put in the ends of the target... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The George C. Martin Papers includes Civil War correspondence between George Canning Martin and his wife, Sarah Jane, from May 1862 to August 1864. Subjects include camp life, the progress of the war in North Carolina and Virginia, and the physical and mental condition of the Confederate soldiers (such as ill health, poor food, and depression). Also included are tax receipts, pension records, newspapers clippings (1863), a commonplace book belonging to Robert Smith, and a memoir (author unknown).

Most of the antiretroviral (ARV) studies in Brazil have been reported in treatment-experienced and naive patients rather than in the setting of treatment interruption (TI). In this study, we analysed reasons given for TI and resistance mutations occurring in 150 HIV-1-infected patients who underwent TI. Of the patients analysed, 110 (73.3%) experienced TI following medical advice, while the remaining patients stopped antiretroviral therapy (ART) of their own accord. The main justifications for TI were: ARV-related toxicities (38.7%), good laboratory parameters (30%) and poor adherence (20%). DNA sequencing of the partial pol gene was successful in 137 (91.3%) patients, of whom 38 (27.7%) presented mutations conferring ARV resistance. A higher viral load prior to TI correlated with drug resistance (P < 0.05). Our results demonstrate that there are diverse rationales for TI and that detection of resistant strains during TI most likely indicates a fitter virus than the wild type. High viral loads coupled with unprotected sex in this group could increase the likelihood of transmission of drug-resistant virus. Thus, treating physicians should be alerted to this problem when the use of ARVs is interrupted.

Este artigo pretende realçar a importância desempenhada pela obra de Henry James Sumner Maine na formação da antropologia jurídica e da sociologia do direito. Mediante a recuperação da tese central de sua obra Ancient Law, procura ressaltar o papel por ela desempenhado no delineamento de uma nova forma de abordagem da relação entre direito e sociedade. Para tanto, recupera traços gerais das análises de Norbert Rouland e de Niklas Luhmann acerca da importância das ideias do autor.

Devido às suas cracaterísticas físico‐químicas e geológicas, estuários e lagunas acham‐se entre os ambientes mais sensíveis para a contaminação de metais e, em vários casos, este aporte de metais está relacionado à atividade mineira nas áreas a montante do curso de água, não raro a muitos quilômetros de distância. O sistema Cananéia‐Iguape consiste em um complexo de canais estuarino‐lagunares, localizados na Reserva da Biosfera do Lagamar. Esses canais são bordejados por vegetação de mangue exuberante, e são um importante criadouro natural de espécies de organismos de interesse commercial, e base da economia da população local.
