This thesis encompasses the integration of geological, geophysical, and seismological data in the east part of the Potiguar basin, northeastern Brazil. The northeastern region is located in South American passive margin, which exhibits important areas that present neotectonic activity. The definition of the chronology of events, geometry of structures generated by these events, and definition of which structures have been reactivated is a necessary task in the region. The aims of this thesis are the following: (1) to identify the geometry and kinematics of neotectonic faults in the east part of the Potiguar basin; (2) to date the tectonic events related to these structures and related them to paleoseismicity in the region; (3) to present evolutional models that could explain evolution of Neogene structures; (4) and to investigate the origin of the reactivation process, mainly the type of related structure associated with faulting. The main type of data used comprised structural field data, well and resistivity data, remote sensing imagery, chronology of sediments, morphotectonic analysis, x-ray analysis, seismological and aeromagnetic data. Paleostress analysis indicates that at least two tectonic stress fields occurred in the study area: NSoriented compression and EW-oriented extension from the late Campanian to the early Miocene and EW-oriented compression and NS-oriented extension from the early Miocene to the Holocene. These stress fields reactivated NE-SW- and NW-SE-trending faults. Both set of faults exhibit right-lateral strike-slip kinematics, associated with a minor normal component. It was possible to determine the en echelon geometry of the Samambaia fault, which is ~63 km long, 13 km deep, presents NE-SW trend and strong dip to NW. Sedimentfilled faults in granite rocks yielded Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) and Single-Aliquot Regeneration (SAR) ages at 8.000 - 9.000, 11.000 - 15.000, 16.000 - 24.000, 37.000 - 45.500, 53.609 - 67.959 e 83.000 - 84.000 yr BP. The analysis of the ductile fabric in the João Câmara area indicate that the regional foliation is NE-SW-oriented (032o - 042o), which coincides with the orientation of the epicenters and Si-rich veins. The collective evidence points to reactivation of preexisting structures. Paleoseismological data suggest paleoseismic activity much higher than the one indicated by the short historical and instrumental record

Numerous studies have indicated that the Potiguar Basin is affected by Cenozoic tectonics. The reactivation of Cretaceous fault systems affect the post-rift units, witch include Neogene and overlying Quaternary sediments. In this context, the objectives of this thesis are the followings: (1) to characterize the effects of post-rift tectonics in the morphology of Apodi Mossoró-river valley located in the central portion of the Potiguar, (2) to characterize the drainage of the Apodi Mossoró river valley and investigate the behavior of their channels across active faults, and (3) to propose a geologic-geomorphological evolutionary model for the study area. This study used a geological and geomorphological mapping of the central part of the basin, with emphasis on the Quaternary record, luminescence dating of sediments, and geoelectric profiles of the area. The results reveal by maps of structural lineaments and drainage channels of the rivers form valleys that are affected by faults and folds. In Apodi-Mossoró valley, anomalies of channel morphology are associated with the deformation of the post-rift basin. These anomalies show the reactivation of major fault systems in the Potiguar Basin in Cenozoic. On a regional scale, can be seen through the vertical electric profiles that the Cenozoic tectonics is responsible for the elevation of a macro dome NE-SE-trending 70-km long and 50km wide and up to 270 above sea level. In this sector, the vertical electric profiles data show that the contact between the Cretaceous and Neogene rise more than 100m. This Is an important feature of inversion data obtained in this work showed that the deposits that cover the macro dome (Serra do Mel) have ages of 119 ka to 43 ka. In the river valley and surrounding areas Apodi-Mossoró ages vary between 319 ka and 2.7 ka. From these data it was possible to establish the correct geochronological posiconamento paleodepósitos of distinguishing them from the fluvial deposits of the Neogene (Barreiras Formation)

The main purpose of this study is to present complementary information on eolian systems that occur in the Center-South portion of the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil. The investigation focused on the identification of eolian units, absolute luminescence dating of eolian sediments, to geophysical analysis by Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), as well as qualitative identification of the use and terrain occupation in the study area. A map was elaborated in order to separate eolian geological units, and describe their deposicional and erosional characteristics, by aerial photo-interpretation. The study lead to the identification of six main units: Unit I - Blowouts (BW), Unit II - Active dunes field (DA), Unit III - Fixed dunes field (DF), Unit IV - Parabolic dunes field (DP), Unit V - Red parabolic dunes field (DV) and Unit VI - Devastated dunes surface (SD). Were analised by Termoluminescense (TL) Method Eight samples from units I, III, IV and V. The largest number of samples with similar or close resulted yielded ages about 15,000 years. Two GPR profiles were obtained in areas of the Dunes Park, near the "Natal s Conventions Center". Results showed the migration a new dune generation over on older one, the geologic contact between dunes and the Formação Barreiras (FB), and the groundwater level inside the dune unit. The qualitative study on the use and terrain occupation of the soil in some dunes fields in the study area, it was possible identify some use and occupation, as the following ones: the construction of residential and commercial buildings, dunes fields cutted for construction to access road and garbage deposition

This paper provides a review on the latest advances and applications of the luminescence spectroscopy for the development of pharmaceuticals analyses methods, basically based on the photo- and chemiluminescence. The different forms of the drugs determination on pharmaceuticals through the fluorescence and chemiluminescence are discussed. The analyses include the drugs native fluorescence (liquid and solid-phases); the fluorescence from the oxidizing or reducing forms of the drug; the fluorescence from the chemical derivatization and their photochemistry and hydrolysis reactions. The quenching of luminescence and chemiluminescence generation for the pharmaceutical quantification are also shown. Finally, the trends and future perspectives of the luminescence spectroscopy in the field of the pharmaceutical research are discussed.

In this work is presented a versatile system for X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) measurements. The apparatus was assembled from a sample holder connected to an optical fiber responsibly for the acquisition of the scintillation signal. The spectrum is registered with a CCD coupled in a spectrograph provided with diffraction gratings. The system performance was analyzed by exciting GdAlO3:Eu3+ 3.0 at.% with X-rays from a diffractometer and measuring the emission spectra. The system can be used to obtain precise and reliable spectroscopic properties of samples with various conformations without the loss of the required safety when dealing with ionizing radiations.

A costa norte da América do Sul durante o Pleistoceno tardio esteve sujeita a oscilações do nível do mar, relacionadas a variações climáticas e influência da dinâmica de sedimentos carreados pelo Rio Amazonas, que moldaram a paisagem desta região. Terraços Pleistocenos da Formação Itaubal, anteriormente considerados como pertencentes à Formação Barreiras (Mioceno), constituem parte da Planície Costeira do Amapá e recobrem rochas do Escudo das Guianas. A integração das análises de fácies, estratigráfica e datações por Luminescência Opticamente Estimulada / regeneração de alíquota única e múltipla (LOE / SAR-MAR) entre 120.600 (± 12.000) e 23.150 (±6.800) anos AP permitiu o posicionamento da Formação Itaubal no Pleistoceno Superior. Estes depósitos siliciclásticos, de espessura máxima de 10 m, cor amarronzada a avermelhada com camadas de geometria tabular foram divididos em duas unidades separadas por inconformidade. A Unidade Inferior compreende as associações de fácies, de planície de inframaré (AF1) e de canal fluvial meandrante influenciado por maré (AF2), enquanto que a Unidade Superior, com maior concentração de argila que a Unidade Inferior, consiste em depósitos de planície de maré (AF3) e de canal fluvial entrelaçado (AF4). As duas unidades têm caracteristicas progradacionais dentro de trato de sistema de mar alto e regressivo, e foram depositadas diretamente sobre rochas do embasamento intensamente intemperizadas durante o Mioceno-Pleistoceno. Os depósitos da Formação Itaubal foram expostos durante o Último Máximo Glacial (22.000 - 18.000 anos AP) e posteriormente sobrepostos por depósitos finos do Rio Amazonas, que configuram a atual linha de costa da Costa norte da América do Sul. Pela primeira vez a Formação Itaubal define os eventos sedimentares do Pleistoceno na evolução da Planície Costeira do Amapá. A correlação de seus depósitos com os de Suriname e nordeste do Pará amplia a discussão sobre a configuração da linha de costa do norte da América do Sul desde o Pleistoceno.

O procedimento experimental do método Sm-Nd utilizado no laboratório de Geologia Isotópica Pará-Iso (Universidade Federal do Pará) é apresentado detalhadamente para poder ser utilizado como referência pelos usuários do laboratório. A datação Sm-Nd de granulitos félsicos da área de Tartarugal Grande, nordeste do Bloco Arqueano Amapá, (sudeste do Escudo das Guianas) forneceu idades isocrônicas rocha total-granada de 2017 ± 12 Ma, 1981,6 ± 2,8 Ma e 2018 ± 2,3 Ma. A análise das mesmas amostras no Laboratório de Geocronologia (Universidade de Brasília) indicou idades de 2037 ± 8,4 Ma, 1988 ± 11 Ma e 2013 ± 15 Ma, respectivamente. Esses resultados indicam que temperaturas acima de 700°C foram alcançadas pelos granulitos de Tartarugal Grande entre 2,04 - 1,98 Ga, comprovando uma idade tardi-Transamazônica para o evento de alto grau metamórfico, na região nordeste do Bloco Arqueano Amapá. As idades-modelo TDM(Nd) entre 3,15 Ga e 2,79 Ga constituem mais um registro do evento principal de acresção crustal mesoarqueano, já identificado na porção sudeste do Escudo das Guianas.
